Chapter 229: Ziyan, the Separation Grass

"Since you do not welcome me, I shall leave now!"

Lu Tianyu sneered: "But I will remind you, if your disciples are infected by Demon Qi, or have been implanted with blood poison by people from the Blood Shadow Sect, I, Lu Tianyu, can take action to remove it."

"However, you must pay the corresponding price!"

Saying this, he turned and left the main hall.

It was difficult to win over Tian Vice Dean, but he had already done his best.

At this moment, it was not yet the final juncture, so one could not easily speak of victory or defeat; what should be striven for still had to be striven for.

He had originally wanted to gift a Supreme Blood Coagulation Pill to Su Vice Dean, but unfortunately, there was no opportunity.

"What an ignorant boy!"

Su Vice Dean coldly snorted: "Who does he think he is? A junior daring to speak to me like this, he knows no propriety!"

"Exactly! This brat is incredibly arrogant; he will surely perish upon entering the Yaoshou Senlin!"

The woman who had just drawn her long whip scolded coldly, "This brat puts himself on the same level as you, showing no respect for his elders!"

"If not for Ancestor stopping me, I would have beaten that brat to a pulp!"

Su Vice Dean, however, had a grave expression: "Ziyan, I may look down on him, but you truly cannot!"

"This brat crushed the Six Young Masters and brutally killed Tian Daguang and Tian Shiguang; his strength is not to be underestimated."

"Although you are ranked third, you do not have the strength to crush Tian Daguang and Tian Shiguang."

"If you encounter him in the Yaoshou Senlin, even if you do not like him, do not become his enemy. You must remember this!"

Ziyan was still somewhat unconvinced, but she had to listen to Ancestor's words: "Understood!"

She decided that if she saw Lu Tianyu, she would just avoid him and pay him no mind.

Just then, the air in front of the main hall twisted, and an old woman in purple robes slowly manifested, bowing to Su Vice Dean: "Su Vice Dean, I have investigated some matters..."

Afterward, she glanced at Ziyan and the two women behind her.

Su Vice Dean waved her hand: "They are not outsiders, speak freely!"

The old woman nodded: "On the planet outside the Sub-star, the Law Enforcement Team discovered that some of the selected students had been infected with the Blood Shadow Sect's blood poison, and over a hundred had exploded and died."

"If they hadn't arrived in time to control the situation, it wouldn't have just been a matter of a hundred casualties!"

"The Law Enforcement Team immediately launched an investigation but did not find anyone from the Blood Shadow Sect."

Su Vice Dean's brows furrowed slightly: "That disciples of the Blood Shadow Sect have snuck in is something that cannot be avoided."

"For them to dare act so brazenly, it seems the situation is somewhat serious; we must be prepared."

"But why did those of us responsible for screening not detect that those people were from the Blood Shadow Sect?"

People entering the Changheng Star Domain to participate in the selection are all checked and re-checked before being let in.

This is precisely to prevent people from the Demon Sect from sneaking in to cause chaos among the students and incite panic.

Previously, they had always been able to detect them.

But this time it was different; so many people died, yet they hadn't been detected.

The old woman's expression was grave: "This time, the blood poison seems to be mutated and is much more potent than before. It is said that if it is not controlled within a quarter of an hour after infection, the victim will explode and die."

"This means those who have snuck in are more sophisticated, and the screeners simply cannot detect it. We must heighten our vigilance."

Su Vice Dean nodded gravely.

However, she immediately recalled Lu Tianyu's words from earlier—that he could remove blood poison and Demon Qi—and her heart couldn't help but shudder.

Could this brat be from the Blood Shadow Sect?

That shouldn't be; the people of the Tianjia Sect surely have ways to detect it, and the Tianjia Sect's ability to distinguish Demon Sect aura is infallible.

Then the question arises: why does Lu Tianyu have such great confidence that he can remove blood poison?

This is strange.

It seems it must be related to the great fortuitous encounter Lu Tianyu obtained from the Forbidden Abyss.

Thinking of this, her thoughts wavered somewhat.

At this moment, the old woman continued: "Additionally, the Law Enforcement Team also discovered that some students have gone missing mysteriously, and no traces can be found."

"They also discovered traces of Demon Qi in a valley; someone must be practicing Demon Art there."

Her expression was extremely grave: "I feel that the Changheng Academy has been somewhat off lately; it seems the Demon people have extended their demonic claws toward us."

"For this selection in the Yaoshou Senlin, we must be careful. It would be best to prepare more pills that can suppress blood poison, just in case!"

Su Vice Dean nodded, her brows knitted: "That should be the case. I leave this matter to you; go to the Pill Pavilion to purchase some medicinal herbs."

After the old woman left.

She pondered for a moment, then looked at Ziyan: "Ziyan, you heard everything."

"You are leading the team this time, so you must be careful and then careful again."

"Also, if the prepared pills do not work—I say if—you can go find Lu Tianyu and see if he has any methods."

"Find him?" Ziyan was stunned, "He has many enemies; finding him will bring a lot of trouble to our Yaochi Sect."

"Let's just forget it."

She did not know why Ancestor had such an idea; she had been very dismissive of Lu Tianyu's behavior earlier, so why had she suddenly changed her mind?

Even if there is blood poison and Demon people, that brat Lu Tianyu can barely save himself; it is impossible for him to have a way to detoxify.

If it cannot be solved, one can call the Law Enforcement Team; why look for this brat?

"Are you not even listening to Ancestor's words now?"

Su Vice Dean's expression became extremely stern: "I have told you before, anything that seems inconspicuous, anything you overlook, is often something very important."

"If you are all at your wits' end and cannot find the Law Enforcement Team, what will you do?"

"Under any circumstances, preserving one's life in a moment of crisis is the most important thing; you cannot let go of any chance that can save your life!"

Ziyan could only nod in agreement: "Ancestor, I will remember!"

"If the medicinal pills we bring cannot neutralize the poison, and the Law Enforcement Team cannot find any, we can try asking that kid."

Vice Dean Su nodded in satisfaction at this.

She took a box out of her Storage Ring: "Inside this is a 100,000-year-old Separation Grass; crushing its leaves can cause the poison to separate from the body."

"If you are poisoned and ordinary pills are useless, you can use this Separation Grass. Use it sparingly; I only have this one stalk."

Ziyan was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Thank you, Ancestor!"

She thought to herself that with this 100,000-year-old Separation Grass, there was no need to seek help from Lu Tianyu anymore!

It seemed the Ancestor's instructions would not be needed.

Vice Dean Su nodded: "Alright, you go to the assembly point first, and I will have someone send the pills to you later."

"Remember, you must not be careless!"

Meanwhile.

Above a planet in the Guangmu Xingyu, at the eastern entrance of the Yaoshou Senlin.

Tens of thousands of cultivators of various kinds stood in the air.

Their combined aura was so strong that the air around them showed signs of being unable to withstand it and was on the verge of shattering.

A careful observation would reveal that the aura on these cultivators was sharp and overbearing, not at all as gentle and restrained as the cultivators of the Changheng Star Domain.
