Chapter 569: Du Taiyue Joyfully Obtains the Poison Nest

"Pavilion Master Zhou, the follow-up regarding Du Taiyue's forced entry into Chongguang Cheng has emerged."

Inside Chongguang Cheng, Liu Jinguo found Zhou You and told him the latest situation.

As it turns out, although Du Taiyue left in time, he still exposed his tracks and was surrounded and blocked at his own doorstep by Red Sun for a Thousand Miles and his men.

The Wanli Zhaohai is extremely treacherous and filled with murderous intent, but the threat of several powerful martial artists joining forces cannot be underestimated.

The current situation is that Chi Ri Qianli and the others cannot get in, and Du Taiyue cannot get out, leaving them in a stalemate.

Looking into it closely, Du Taiyue is even at a slight disadvantage.

The traffic between the Ten Thousand Poisons Secret Workshop and the outside world has been completely blocked by the powerful martial artists; any living person entering or leaving, whether a Poison Martial Artist or an innocent, is killed without exception and thrown into the swamp.

Such iron-blooded methods have severed the connection between the Ten Thousand Poisons Secret Workshop and the outside world.

If this continues, sooner or later Du Taiyue will lose his patience and come out to cause a scene.

But for now...

Zhou You can be certain that Du Taiyue definitely will not come out; he is busy, isn't he? After the deluxe version of the Poison Nest was completed, Zhou You sent it to him immediately—not personally, of course, nor by having the big crane or the big snake deliver it, but by arranging a shipment.

With a 'Detain' Seal Script, *swish*, the Poison Nest was transported through the air into the Ten Thousand Poisons Secret Workshop.

For an ordinary person, finding the Ten Thousand Poisons Secret Workshop in the vast Ten Thousand Mile Swamp is as difficult as ascending to heaven, but Zhou You is different; his puppet is inside the Ten Thousand Poisons Secret Workshop, right next to Du Taiyue's palace.

Where there is a mole, there is a location; with one decree of the 'Detain' Seal Script, the Poison Nest descended from the sky.

That day, Du Taiyue was in a bad mood and ordered a disobedient Disciple to be dismembered; the scene was very bloody.

The poisonous insects he kept were greedily devouring the severed limbs when suddenly a gust of wind struck from above. He had extremely high vigilance and subconsciously dodged ten meters away.

*Plop*, a pocket fell onto his throne, without a sound or a ripple.

"This is..."

Du Taiyue recognized the appearance of the pocket and looked up at the sky abruptly. There was no big crane and no human figure; it was as if a hole had opened in the firmament above, and it had been dropped onto his lair by some unknown giant hand.

This was too terrifying.

"A fine Moyunzi, your reach is truly heaven-defying, being able to come and go as you please in my lair."

Du Taiyue was both shocked and afraid. These days, apart from monitoring the movements outside the swamp, he had been tracking the activity of the big crane.

Unsurprisingly, this big bird was a fool, heartless and mindless; all day long it was either digging for snails, eating fat fish, or chasing after the tail of a female bird and sniffing it wildly—so shameless it made one's hands itch.

He had thought it was a diversion, but he never expected that in the blink of an eye, the item would be delivered.

This matter added a few more layers to his wariness of the Golden Immortal Dao.

After Kunpengzi perished, he had thought there were no formidable characters in Beixuan Zhou, but Moyunzi had filled that void.

He picked up the Poison Nest, brushed his palm over it, and his face revealed a look of wild joy.

"Stop eating, hurry and stop!"

This poisonous insect, with its big head and pointed tail, was exactly like a tadpole magnified a hundred times, but it had a mouth full of poisonous fangs and was currently enjoying half a corpse. Hearing this, it opened its mouth wide, and *plop*, the gruesome corpse fell to the ground.

"Get in!"

Du Taiyue pried open the mouth of the Poison Nest and felt as if the pocket had become an extension of his palm; his Qi and blood connected, and as his Essence Energy seeped into it, a vast space suddenly appeared inside the palm-sized pocket.

This poisonous insect was named 'Huan Yong' and was one of the Nine Insects he cherished most.

Huan Yong looked up at the mouth of the Poison Nest in confusion, and suddenly its body felt light. *Swish*, the world before its eyes became chaotic, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared in a pitch-black space.

This space had no light and no sound; there were no other living creatures, not even soil. Huan Yong was initially uncomfortable, but the environment was too peaceful, and its naturally irritable temperament was soothed; it yawned and gradually fell asleep.

"This bug, so big, so ugly!"

Zhou You looked at the huge size of Huan Yong and couldn't help but click his tongue in evaluation.

Anchoring, as the name suggests, can bind the internal space of the pocket to a certain area in reality.

Du Taiyue's Poison Nest had been tampered with by him; a space had been anchored inside, and with just a thought, everything put into the Poison Nest would be transferred to the target location.

It was not yet time to alert the enemy, so the anchor had not been activated, but he could observe the detailed situation inside.

The Poison Nest made from the skin of a powerful martial artist had a very high level of space.

This Huan Yong was many times stronger than the Golden Money Scorpion and comparable to that Gu King on the battlefield, yet it did not feel crowded inside.

After another moment, a second poisonous insect broke into it, *flap-flap*, flapping its wings incessantly.

The poisonous insect, Ying Sha, was also one of the Nine Insects.

The two poisonous insects met inside the Poison Nest, yet they had not reached the limit of the pocket's internal space, and they remained at peace with each other.

At this, Du Taiyue was pleasantly surprised. According to his estimation, being able to fit one poisonous insect was already remarkable; he never expected to be able to put both Huan Yong and Ying Sha in at once.

The Nine Insects he raised were usually distributed across the four corners of the Ten Thousand Mile Swamp, frequently fed with living people to increase their ferocity.

The Nine Insects were ranked equally, but they were not very harmonious with each other; if they met, they would fight to the death.

But inside the Poison Nest, Huan Yong and Ying Sha were very peaceful, with no signs of fighting or infighting.

"Good treasure, good treasure; what 'Storage Pocket' or 'Poison Nest'—neither is worthy of you."

"Old Poison, I shall give you a name. Since you were formed from my flesh and blood, I shall call you the Taiyue Poison Nest."

Du Taiyue laughed heartily, "With you, why should I cower here? Let me show those guys what I'm made of!"

He was also cunning and treacherous; fearing the Poison Nest had been tampered with, he checked it thoroughly from top to bottom, even using his Essence Energy and Qi and blood to scour and refine it.

At the border of the Ten Thousand Mile Swamp... Chi Ri Qianli's skin was dark and rough; this was a characteristic of martial artists from the sea. The sea breeze was harsh, carrying moisture and salt, which caused great damage to the skin.

As a powerful martial artist of the Thousand Faces Hall, he was also the initiator of this operation.

Several other powerful martial artists had joined in with different motives, some lured by heavy profits, others having been injured by Du Taiyue before.

Regardless, the 4 powerful martial artists stopped outside the Ten Thousand Mile Swamp and did not leave; the cage they formed was enough to block the Ten Thousand Poisons Secret Workshop sect completely. In the sky or on the ground, not even a flying bird or an earthworm could cross the border.

*Gurgle*, the black water bubbled, and half a corpse, decayed and dilapidated, slowly sank along with the marsh gas.

A water bird with eyes like water beads chirped a few times, and just as it flapped its wings and skimmed over a few yards, a piece of dead wood soaking in the foul water suddenly split open a bloody maw, *bang*, bit the water bird, and dragged it into the mud.

"A treacherous death trap; Du Taiyue has the advantage of the terrain, I'm afraid we won't be able to outlast him."

A powerful martial artist said to Chi Ri Qianli; he was one of the helpers with the most resolute fighting spirit.

Back then, when Du Taiyue fought him, the overflowing poisonous Qi killed the family and disciples of Qiang Wu, leaving him a lone man.

Therefore, when the Thousand Faces Hall first launched its attack, he joined them at the very first opportunity.

Chi Ri Qianli was just about to open his mouth, but he saw the swamp churning violently; warm, foul-smelling air gushed out from the wet mud, black water shot into the sky, and countless strange fish and poisonous insects hidden in the swamp jumped out in a panic.

A streak of green cloud swept in from the edge of the horizon, shifting through seven or eight colors mid-way, and finally turning into a multicolored blur.
