Chapter 3783: Poison Witch Clan

Ye Liuyun suddenly thought of Little Witch and wanted to see whether they came from the same place.

When Ye Liuyun released the black cat, the Poison Soul immediately stepped back, clearly recognizing it.

However, the black cat did not remember it. It had been taken by its master since childhood and had never encountered anyone from the Poison Witch Clan.

"This is the Fate Witch's black cat, possessing the power of ill‑fate curses!" The Poison Soul actually recognized Little Witch, and in front of Little Witch it trembled with obvious fear.

Ye Liuyun put Little Witch away, no longer frightening it, and instead asked it to recount its origins.

"The most powerful beings in the Poison Witch Clan are the witches, then come messengers like us. Among the witches, the Fate Witch and Wan Du Wushi are equally renowned; none can rival them within the Poison Witch Clan."

Throughout the ages, Fate Witches keep a black cat to practice ill‑fate curses together, while Wan Du Wushi keep a black snake to cultivate lethal poison.

Only then did Ye Liuyun understand: "So he didn't know Little Witch; he knew the relationship between the Fate Witch and the black cat."

"And you? What pet have you raised?" Ye Liuyun asked the Poison Soul.

The Poison Soul opened its hand, and a blood‑red giant ant crawled out of its palm.

"This is my symbiotic beast, the Blood Poison Ant, which can poison both Poison Soul and Physical Body. However, it is still weak and needs poison blood for nourishment!" After speaking, the blood‑colored ant slipped back into its palm, and the wound healed swiftly.

"That's impressive—hidden within one's own blood!" Ye Liuyun remarked, gaining new insight.

He had the Poison Soul absorb the deadly poison on the four Skeleton Puppets, then sent the puppets back to Sun Que.

Then he asked the Poison Soul about the strength of the Fate Witch and Wan Du Wushi.

"In our Poison Witch Clan, the witches are supreme, governing all eighty‑one Xingqiu, followed by us messengers, who serve the witches and issue their commands; the clan chiefs of all tribes must obey us."

"The Fate Witch controls human life and destiny, able to grant life or death with a single thought. Wan Du Wushi controls myriad poisons, can poison from afar, killing people thousands of miles away," the Poison Soul explained.

"Isn't that unbeatable?" Ye Liuyun said, somewhat surprised, thinking the Poison Soul was bragging. Yet it was clear that this messenger held a high position in the Poison Witch Clan.

The Poison Soul also explained: "Of course that is the ultimate state, and it depends on the witch's cultivation level. Our current Fate Witch can only increase or decrease a person's destiny, not directly cause life or death. It takes at least a few days for the effect to manifest."

"Our Wan Du Wushi now dominates the entire Xing Xi and is the strongest being. Yet he can only poison within a hundred zhang; beyond that it doesn't work."

"As the witches' power grows, their abilities will become ever stronger."

Ye Liuyun listened to his account, silently pondering: "If the effect takes days, it's still not as strong as Little Witch! It seems their Fate Witch is a new‑generation witch, never could be Little Witch's master."

However, that Wan Du Wushi, who can poison within a hundred zhang and kill unseen, is already formidable and truly hard to counter! It seems puppets are the best means against the Wan Du Wushi.

"And you?" Ye Liuyun asked the Poison Soul.

"I have only cultivated a few simple Fate witchcraft techniques; most of my practice is still poison cultivation. My poisoning skill is far below a witch's—at least ten more years before I can reach witch level," the Poison Soul said frankly.

"What resources do you need for cultivation? Can you poison the puppets?" Ye Liuyun asked casually, without intending to nurture him.

"Different poison blood is best, followed by various poison sources and fresh blood of different races. The puppets' Sea of Consciousness is shielded by formations; breaking those formations will take some time," the Poison Soul said.

Zhan Kong also had to capture the Poison Soul alive, which is why he broke the formation to poison. In other words, the puppets have some defense against soul poison, though their defensive power is somewhat weak.

Ye Liuyun immediately had the artist re‑arrange the defensive formations within the Sea of Consciousness for all the puppets, allowing all Soul‑type attacks to go out but not in. At least the artist's arraying skill is far superior to Gu Changhong's.

Then he asked the Poison Soul: "It seems you practice the Blood Poison Path. Is the Wan Du Wushi the same?"

The Poison Soul explained: "Before reaching witch level, he first cultivated Blood Poison, then simultaneously refined Soul Poison and Body Poison. I originally started with Body Poison, and now I am strengthening my Blood Poison and Soul Poison cultivation."

"How does he poison from a distance?" Ye Liuyun asked, seeking a way to counter the Wan Du Wushi in the future.

"By using Divine Sense to carry lethal poison!" the Poison Soul said confidently.

"Use Divine Sense to carry lethal poison? How? Show me a demonstration!" Ye Liuyun was intrigued.

"Um… my Soul Poison cultivation is still incomplete, I don't know how to use it!" the Poison Soul said awkwardly: "If the master keeps absorbing my Soul Poison, my strength will regress!"

He still thought Ye Liuyun wanted to make him stronger, to help Ye Liuyun fight.

"Oh!"

Ye Liuyun replied with a disappointed assent, yet did not stop absorbing his Soul Poison; he would only stop once he achieved complete immunity to that Soul Poison.

In this way, when confronting even more toxic witches in the future, he will have some resistance.

"No need to worry. Wang Tianqi summoned you here; didn't he promise you any conditions?" Ye Liuyun retorted to the Poison Soul.

"He promised to give me plenty of poison sources and blood!" the Poison Soul said.

"Alright, since you're already here, consider that you have fulfilled your agreement with him; you can go ask him for poison sources to compensate your loss!" Ye Liuyun laughed.

"But I haven't completed the mission!" the Poison Soul replied honestly.

Ye Liuyun smiled and asked back: "Did he say he would give you the poison sources only after you complete the mission? Or was his promise simply that you act?"

"…" the Poison Soul thought for a moment; Wang Tianqi indeed never said he would have to kill Ye Liuyun to give him a reward. The promised reward is given as long as he makes a move.

Ye Liuyun looked at his expression and understood.

He lifted the corner of his mouth and instructed the Poison Soul: "Then go ask Wang Tianqi! If he doesn't give you, he's breaking the agreement; you should poison them!"

"Is that even allowed?" the Poison Soul was a bit stunned; a simple Poison Witch tribe member never imagined such a maneuver.

"Of course it's possible; you're justified, what are you afraid of!" Ye Liuyun said seriously: "I don't need your help for now, so go and demand the resources he promised, to boost your strength as soon as possible!"

"Just say you came, but were defeated by the puppets. Don't tell him you were marked with a Slave Seal by me. Then just demand the resources from him!"

"Well… okay!" the Poison Soul couldn't resist the lure of cultivation resources and agreed.

Brainwashed, the Poison Soul immediately set off, rushing to the Central Dynasty to obtain the resources.
