My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

"Having been poisoned by the Scattering Spirit Poison, how much longer do you think you can hold on?"

"The Scattering Spirit Poison takes effect upon contact with blood... Once one utilizes true energy, the entire body's blood and energy will stagnate, resulting in the loss of cultivation."

"How is it, Third Brother? Have you begun to feel it? This sensation must be quite unpleasant. Can you still wield your weapon?"

Niu Er chuckled as he ingested a pill into his mouth.

Across from him, Niu Laosan's originally flushed face instantly drained of color, with sweat beads the size of beans forming on his forehead.

Indeed, he had been poisoned!

"To resort to poison!"

"Niu Er is utterly despicable!"

"What right does such a scoundrel have to be the junior chieftain of the Bull Demon Clan? Is the Bull Demon Clan planning to engage in battle with other Demon Clans using such contemptible tactics?" Read latest stories on My Virtual Library Empire

Below the stage, the other Demon Clan members seethed with anger.

Among the judgment elders of the Bull Demon Clan, some furrowed their brows in secret contemplation.

Yet, they were unable to say anything.

In the arena of decisive combat, there were no restrictions on methods, and no regulations prohibiting the use of poison.

Therefore, despite Niu Er resorting to the most shameful tactics of the Bull Demon Clan, they could not revoke his qualification.

"Third Brother, admit defeat."

"Scattering Spirit Poison is not so easily dispelled. If you forcibly activate your true energy, you might also suffer a drop in cultivation as our eldest brother did."

"As long as you concede, Second Brother can guarantee that your responsibility will not be pursued afterward. Serve Second Brother well in the future, and you will still be the esteemed third-in-command of the Bull Demon Clan, my dear brother."

Seeing Niu Laosan still resisting stubbornly, trying to suppress the effects of the Scattering Spirit Poison, Niu Er merely smirked coldly.

The Scattering Spirit Poison was not so easily subdued; until one reaches the Heaven Emperor realm, it retains its effectiveness.

As soon as his injuries slightly improved, Niu Er would immediately seize the opportunity to incapacitate Niu Laosan.

His earlier words were only meant to lull Niu Laosan into complacency. From the moment they stepped onto the stage, Niu Er had no intention of letting Niu Laosan off lightly.

With Niu Da unable to regain his cultivation within five hundred years, if Niu Laosan's cultivation was also crippled, no one would be able to vie for the position of junior chieftain against him.

"Scattering Spirit Poison sounds quite formidable indeed."

"However, it appears that Niu Laosan has found a way to deal with it."

Gu Lan watched Niu Laosan's silent demeanor on the stage and felt a familiar sensation. It reminded him of the confrontation he had with the soul magic at the beginning.

It seemed that Niu Laosan's significant progress was not solely due to the guidance of the Chiyang Saint Sovereign but also influenced by the memories of soul magic.

"Third Brother, are you still unwilling to give up? The position of junior chieftain, you truly cannot grasp it. Let Second Brother assist you and completely sever this desire."

After taking the pill, Niu Er regained thirty percent of his strength. He felt ready and prepared to deliver the final blow to Niu Laosan.

Even though Niu Laosan was currently affected by the Scattering Spirit Poison, with his cultivation greatly diminished, Niu Er still did not take him lightly.

He wielded his large blade, preparing to strike Niu Laosan's bull horn fiercely.

In the Bull Demon Clan, the bull horn symbolized not only identity but also strength. Losing the bullhorn would greatly weaken the Bull Demon Clan.

Additionally, a bull demon with a broken horn would have no chance of becoming the junior chieftain. Niu Er's blow aimed to kill and devastate.

Just as the large blade was about to descend upon him, Niu Laosan, who was initially pale-faced, suddenly flushed red all over, and his entire body disappeared from its original position!

"Using poison means nothing. Witness... the Demon Sealing Force!"

This was a secret technique passed to Niu Laosan by the Chiyang Saint Sovereign not long ago, which temporarily sealed all true energy within the body, greatly enhancing physical strength.

At this moment, Niu Laosan was in this state. His entire body expanded like a small giant. Unable to activate true energy, he couldn't wield any weapon.

Instead, Niu Laosan directly swung his fists, striking Niu Er's body with unimaginable speed and force. The speed and power far exceeded Niu Er's expectations.

In almost an instant, Niu Er, who had previously held the upper hand, was pinned down by Niu Laosan and ruthlessly beaten to the ground.

With each blow, Niu Laosan showed no mercy. After a short while, Niu Er's bullhead was turned into a pig's head.

Only when Niu Er knelt on the ground, completely powerless to resist, did Niu Laosan finally stop.

Many people witnessing Niu Laosan's brutal beating of Niu Er felt a sense of satisfaction. Even in the Demon Clan, few would resort to using poison in the arena.

Such underhanded tactics were scorned by all! Even for the sake of becoming the so-called junior chieftain, one should strive with dignity.

Those who used deceitful means were destined to be disliked.

"The victor is Niu Laosan!"

"Niu Laosan, Niu Laosan!"

As the crowd of demons cheered, just as several judgment elders were about to announce the result, Niu Er, who was kneeling on the ground, struggled to raise his head.

"This is unfair!"

"Niu Laosan just used the forbidden technique of the Demon Sealing Force. This violates the clan rules!"

"The technique Niu Laosan just used, I have read about it in our clan's ancient records. It is the sealing technique from the Demon Prison!"

Upon hearing the three words "Demon Prison," the arena instantly fell silent. In the Demon Realm, the Demon Prison was a taboo topic.

It housed only the most heinous Demon Clan Emperors, or rather, the demon emperors turned evil.

Without exception, all these fallen demon emperors were sealed in the Demon Prison because they practiced forbidden and demonic techniques that even the Demon Clan could not tolerate.

Therefore, the techniques leaked from the Demon Prison were always considered as demonic arts.

"Niu Laosan, by learning the demonic technique from the Demon Prison, you have violated the clan rules. What do you have to say for yourself?"

At this moment, a judgmental elder stood up. He had remained silent when Niu Er used poison, but now he spoke out with righteous indignation.

This elder and the force behind him had always supported Niu Er's faction.

If Niu Laosan were to become the junior chieftain, they would lose a lot, which was something they naturally didn't want to see.

Now that Niu Er mentioned the Demon Prison, whether it was true or false, he had to pin this blame on Niu Laosan.

"The technique I just displayed was indeed taught to me by an outsider, but the person who taught me was not a demon from the Demon Prison. The technique I learned is called the Demon Sealing Force, and it is not a demonic art!"

Facing the elder's questioning, Niu Laosan remained open and straightforward, disclosing the name of his technique without hesitation.

In the audience, Gu Lan shook his head in exasperation. This guy not only revealed the name of the technique but also openly admitted that he learned it from an outsider... Isn't this just giving others ammunition to use against him?

Gu Lan knew about the Demon Sealing Force. After obtaining the memories of the soul magic, the Chiyang Saint Sovereign also passed this technique to Gu Lan.

It was an imperial-grade technique for enhancing the physical body, very suitable for the Demon Clan.

Gu Lan pursued a path of remote and elegant attacks, so he naturally didn't bother to learn the Demon Sealing Force.

The power of the technique was not important; what mattered was how cool it looked.

Using the Demon Sealing Force to seal true energy and engage in close combat with others was something Gu Lan couldn't accept.

"So it is indeed a demonic art!"

"A demonic technique like the Demon Sealing Force is something you're capable of learning? Niu Laosan, on behalf of the elder Council, I hereby announce the revocation of your position as third-in-command and the disqualification of your candidacy for the selection of junior chieftain!"
