Chapter 411: Secretly Poisoning

They were deadlocked, and finally Wan Chongshan spoke first: "None of us can defeat the other; how about a temporary ceasefire?"

Ye Liuyun also nodded, not wanting to keep wasting time here with his alliance.

With the three of them joining forces, it wouldn't be easy for him to win. They are at the Urban Tian Gang Sixth Layer realm. And even if they wanted to kill Ye Liuyun, they couldn't break through the Golden Lotus defense. Showing restraint is the best choice.

Actually, Wan Chongshan had other plans. He saw that the number of people remaining was already small. It was time to use the poison he had just obtained.

With just his own strength, he couldn't eliminate these people; the best way was to let them kill each other, then he could profit from it. Ideally, Gu Laotou and the Elder of the Dark Night Demon Hall could fight Ye Liuyun to the death.

He thought, then secretly took a small pill from his Storage Ring, used his True Essence to crush it into powder and release it into the air. At the same time, he took the antidote himself. Others thought he was taking a True Essence-restoring pill and paid no attention.

At the same time, to divert attention, he asked Ye Liuyun what treasures he had just obtained.

"We can't get it, but at least we can listen, right?"

Ye Liuyun also didn't tell him the truth. m.

"Without three treasures, when we came, we only saw a single sword left."

"Who are you fooling? This Golden Lotus was Poison Dragon's treasure, everyone knows it. How could you say it's yours? Moreover, there was no Golden Lotus in the previous level. Obviously, this level's treasure was refined on the spot by that little girl."

Ye Liuyun never expected that his lie would be exposed.

But he still said indifferently: "So what? Did you manage to take it?"

"Forget it! I won't ask anymore! Now you also have the strength to oppose us; tell me, how should we distribute the subsequent treasures? We can't keep fighting forever."

Seeing Ye Liuyun unwilling to speak, Wan Chongshan stopped asking and pretended to discuss future treasure distribution with him. Actually, he was just stalling for time, waiting for the poison to take effect.

Now inside the cave, besides the door they came out of, there is another passage that should lead to the next level. It seems they don't need to fight over a teleportation array anymore; everyone can just go in.

Therefore, Wan Chongshan's proposal on how to distribute the treasures is indeed something they should consider.

"By ability, each takes what they need!" Ye Liuyun said directly.

He thought negotiating with these people over treasure distribution was utterly absurd; even if they agreed, they wouldn't keep their word.

But Wan Chongshan insisted, demanding they work out a method, otherwise he'd force a result by fighting.

"Do as you please!" Ye Liuyun also couldn't be bothered to argue with him.

Even Gu Laotou and the Elder of the Dark Night Demon Hall couldn't stand it anymore; they prepared to go straight into that passage and head to the next level.

But just as they were about to step forward, they suddenly felt a surge of heat inside. At the same time, Ye Liuyun's Ten Thousand Gods Command began to glow, expelling the poison from his body.

At this moment, Su Miaoyin's face was flushed red, and even the Golden Lotus appeared wobbly, as if about to fall.

Seeing Su Miaoyin showing signs of confusion, Ye Liuyun quickly, while she still had some sanity, casually picked up the Skeleton Puppet and flew into the Golden Lotus.

"I think I've been poisoned!" Su Miaoyin also felt something was off.

"There is poison! Quickly seal the Golden Lotus!" Ye Liuyun urged.

"Fortunately, Su Miaoyin closed the Golden Lotus before losing consciousness entirely, wrapping both Ye Liuyun and herself inside it."

At this moment, Gu Laotou and the Elder of the Dark Night Demon Hall also realized they had been poisoned. They all looked at Wan Chongshan, who seemed fine.

"What are you looking at me for? This poison won't kill you; it's just an aphrodisiac called Harmony Powder. There's a girl in the Golden Lotus, you can go to her for relief! Don't blame me for not warning you—this drug was concocted by Poison Dragon, and you can't cure it yourselves. You'd better figure something out, or you'll burst apart soon. I'm not staying with you; I'll go ahead to the next level and wait for you."

Wan Chongshan was now extremely pleased, thinking Ye Liuyun had also taken the Harmony Powder. Although he couldn't make them fight to the death, at least now no one would follow him to the next level to compete for treasures.

With this first-mover advantage, he could easily seize the treasures. The second level already had divine weapons, so the final level's treasures would surely be even better.

Arriving here, he flashed his figure and eagerly entered the passage to the next level.

Gu Laotou and the Elder of the Dark Night Demon Hall cursed loudly, but were powerless. They felt their True Essence swelling; if not released, they might truly burst apart. So they both immediately attacked the Golden Lotus with all their strength. However, the Golden Lotus's defense was something they could not break. No matter how they attacked, Ye Liuyun and Su Miaoyin inside felt no vibration.

Yet they could hear the outside sounds clearly. Wan Chongshan's words were heard by Ye Liuyun word for word. He used his Divine Sense to probe Su Miaoyin's internal condition and immediately detected her True Essence running wild.

Ye Liuyun held the nearly unconscious Su Miaoyin and also cursed Wan Chongshan for his shameless use of such despicable means.

He himself had no idea, so he immediately released Wu Qingcheng from his Storage Ring and asked if she had any solution.

At this moment, Su Miaoyin had completely lost her reason, repeatedly lunging at Ye Liuyun until he knocked her unconscious.

After examining it, Wu Qingcheng also shook her head: "Usually this kind of despicable poison has no cure. Unless you get the antidote from the person who concocted this aphrodisiac."

"Is there any other way?" Ye Liuyun felt Su Miaoyin's True Essence surging faster and faster, and he grew anxious.

"Just abolish her elixir field and draw out her True Essence." Wu Qingcheng actually already had the answer; she just hadn't said it, merely teasing Ye Liuyun.

"Ah? That would make her a cripple!" Ye Liuyun frowned, but he soon noticed Wu Qingcheng wasn't tense, the corner of her mouth still smiling, and he couldn't help asking: "Don't you have some other method you haven't told me? Speak quickly—she can't hold on much longer; this poison acts too fast!"

Wu Qingcheng had to say: "Actually, this poison isn't really a poison; in some situations it doesn't even kill. For example, right now, isn't there still you?"

"Ah?" Upon hearing Wu Qingcheng's reminder, Ye Liuyun immediately understood what she meant, his face flushing red, and he almost threw the Su Miaoyin he was holding onto the ground.

Wu Qingcheng patted his arm, comforting him: "I think Miss Su Miaoyin also has feelings for you; don't overthink it. This shows you're fated. I'm sure she won't blame you when she wakes up! You're saving her life—what else could you do?"

"Well… I don't want to take advantage of someone in danger!" Ye Liuyun stammered: "Besides, I met you all first. I haven't… been with you… how could I… be with her…"
