Chapter 661: The Poison of Renewed Energy
"It was my fault, Buqian. You can kill me." Zeng Luo didn't explain and just said a sentence seeking death.
"I wonder if you have some unspoken troubles? If you have something to say, just say it. Maybe we can help you." Mo Changcan spoke up.
Even Chu Tianhua, Qu Yi, and others could see that Zeng Luo seemed to really have an unspeakable trouble.
Moreover, from Zeng Luo's expression and demeanor, it was clear that she had deep feelings for Chu Buqian.
Zeng Luo looked hopefully at Ding Huan.
She realized that as long as Ding Huan agreed, perhaps this matter could really be resolved.
If one can live, who would be willing to die?
Ding Huan sneered inwardly, no matter what unspoken troubles this woman had, he wouldn't help her.
He, Ding Huan, was not a fool who helped anyone with no discernment.
When Chu Buqian was blocked by Qianlin Divine City's Guard Captain, he was already as good as dead.
The reason he was still alive was that he and Mo Changcan happened to pass by and saved him.
This woman clearly knew Chu Buqian would die but still leaked his whereabouts—why save such trash?
"Buqian, how did you and Zeng Luo meet?" Ding Huan looked at Chu Buqian.
The reason he asked was that Ding Huan had a favorable impression of Chu Buqian.
Since they chose to enter Li Yin Divine Valley together, it was best not to have any estrangement.
Otherwise, he would rather choose another sect to join on his own.
Chu Buqian calmed down from his earlier emotions:
"My sister Tianhua and I fled to Middle God Land, and during an outing to seek cultivation resources, we encountered Zeng Luo and her senior brother being pursued by enemies.
At that time, Zeng Luo was deeply poisoned, and her senior brother had already fallen. I used my only Detoxification Divine Pill to save Zeng Luo.
I didn't expect the poison Zeng Luo suffered from was so terrifying. After I gave her the Detoxification Divine Pill, I got infected with the same poison.
Zeng Luo took care of me all along. Without her, I couldn't have held on until the detoxification.
With Zeng Luo's care, my sister went to the Big Star Desolate Vein and nearly risked her life to get a Dingxin Divine Fruit to cure my poison.
Since then, the three of us have relied on each other for survival, and Zeng Luo and I became Dao companions as we grew closer."
Zeng Luo's tears flowed: "Buqian, Tianhua, I'm sorry for you. I didn't know they had marked me with a Mark of Divine Will until we were cornered in Qianlin Divine City.
That Mark of Divine Will not only tracked my movements but also eavesdropped on our conversations. The sect token of Li Yin Divine Valley was leaked from me.
By the time I realized it, it was too late for regrets; I had no face to live on..."
Zeng Luo couldn't stop her tears and couldn't continue speaking.
Chu Buqian and Chu Tianhua were both stunned.
They didn't expect that the information wasn't intentionally leaked by Zeng Luo but was unintentionally transmitted.
Chu Buqian and Chu Tianhua both looked at Ding Huan. This couldn't be blamed on Zeng Luo, after all, Zeng Luo was merely a Heavenly God Realm Practitioner.
Ding Huan looked at Zeng Luo: "Can the poison of Xuanyuan really be remedied with a Dingxin Divine Fruit?"
Zeng Luo instinctively replied: "Yes."
But after she responded, her face turned even paler, knowing she misspoke.
"So, you'd known about the poison of Xuanyuan all along?" Ding Huan mocked.
Zeng Luo said no more.
Qu Yi, noticing the subtleties, couldn't quite understand: "Big brother, why is that?"
Ding Huan explained: "The poison of Xuanyuan is actually a transmitting poison but can only be transmitted once. When Brother Buqian detoxified her, the poison transferred to Brother Buqian.
The Dingxin Divine Fruit can indeed cure part of the poison, but it can't remedy the poison of Xuanyuan—it merely suppresses its toxicity.
Someday, when Brother Buqian advances to the God Monarch Realm, that will be the day he falls."
At this point, Ding Huan didn't need to go on; everyone understood.
Zeng Luo knew she was infected with the poison of Xuanyuan, and when Chu Buqian saved her, it had already transferred to him, effectively curing her.
She still used Chu Buqian's only Detoxification Divine Pill, whereas the one most in need of it was not her but Chu Buqian.
This woman never cared for Chu Buqian's life.
"Moreover."
Ding Huan's gaze rested on Zeng Luo again: "There is no Mark of Divine Will on her; she deliberately gave away all the information."
"Brother Ding Huan, when did you find out?" Mo Changcan looked at Ding Huan, surprised.
Ding Huan said: "I knew it when I gave her the Rain God Pill."
After giving the Rain God Pill, he found Zeng Luo faking death; the moment the pill's effects dissolved, he sensed a strong life force.
The Rain God Pill, though good, didn't have such powerful life-restoring properties.
The only possibility was that the woman was playing dead.
This feigned death, Ding Huan wouldn't let it slip. His Divine Will had already tested her, and there was no Mark of Divine Will.
Chu Tianhua, thinking of her brother still being poisoned and all the good things given to Zeng Luo along the way, immediately became furious.
She directly slapped Zeng Luo's brow.
Zeng Luo closed her eyes, aware her self-destruction meant no more chances.
Mo Changcan's words had given her a shred of hope.
Bam!
Chu Tianhua slapped Zeng Luo to death.
Chu Buqian's eyes dimmed, emotions low.
Mo Changcan patted Chu Buqian on the shoulder: "Next time, be more discerning."
When Ding Huan saw Mo Changcan's slap, his eyes lit up. This Mo Changcan is indeed formidable.
Chu Buqian shook his head: "I'm just blind. The first time I was almost harmed by my personal maid, and this time by my own partner.
Fortunately, I met a true hero like Brother Huan, otherwise I'd be worse than blind."
Chu Tianhua looked at Mo Changcan with reddened eyes:
"Brother Changcan, can you save my brother? He has been poisoned with the Sustaining Essence Poison and is about to advance to the God Monarch Realm. Isn't he surely going to die like this?"
Mo Changcan laughed heartily: "Do you think my slap just now was for nothing? I already helped him neutralize the poison."
The Sustaining Essence Poison is formidable, but in Mo Changcan's eyes, it's just a bit of Primordial Energy.
Even Chu Buqian was staring wide-eyed at Mo Changcan, is he really so powerful?
He hadn't felt any peculiar changes in his body, yet Mo Changcan claims to have removed the poison—what kind of divine skill is this?
"Now that the poison and internal threats are gone, let's quickly head to the Upper God Land." Ding Huan sped up the Cosmic Pot once again.
"Brother Huan, when we reach the Transmission Hall, I'm afraid it will be plastered with wanted images of us. Shouldn't we disguise ourselves?"
Chu Buqian's mind was much clearer now.
"No need."
Ding Huan and Mo Changcan had long planned to use the Cosmic Pot to charge through the First Divine Valley.
This is not some void location.
Even if they were swept into the Divine Valley, it doesn't mean they wouldn't come out.
Ding Huan was even more carefree, he could even perceive the Descent Law in the Reincarnation Swamp.
In this Divine Valley, if not an array, at most it's just a kind of law.
Perhaps sensing Ding Huan and Mo Changcan's lack of concern, Chu Buqian and Chu Tianhua gradually relaxed, no longer thinking about the Heavenly Judgment Divine Alliance and Flying Path Trading Company.
Everyone gathered to discuss the Great Dao.
Qu Yi, Luo Huaner, Chu Buqian, and Chu Tianhua were all Heavenly God Realm practitioners, verifying each other's understanding of the Great Dao, gaining significant insights.
Two months passed, Ding Huan's divine will saw the First Divine Valley.
Mo Changcan got excited too. He stood at the edge of the protecting array of the Cosmic Pot, wanting to scan with his divine will to see what was inside the First Divine Valley as the Cosmic Pot charged in.
Chu Buqian and Chu Tianhua also became alert.
Ding Huan was about to forcibly fly over the First Divine Valley.
Chu Buqian stood up in fright, just as he was about to stop Ding Huan from forcibly flying over the First Divine Valley, his divine will scanned the Cosmic Pot had already charged above the Divine Valley.
Finished...
This thought had just appeared in Chu Buqian's mind, and he felt the Cosmic Pot sinking.
When his divine will scanned outward, he clearly sensed the surroundings.
It was evident he wasn't in the Divine Valley.
They had charged through the First Divine Valley?
So simple?
If it's really this simple, would he and his sister have needed hundreds of years to difficultly reach the Second Divine Valley?
"Haha, indeed simple," Mo Changcan laughed heartily, his divine will hadn't touched anything and was blocked.
Ding Huan took out a Direction Jade Scroll.
Though they seized the big trading company, Dao Market Trading Company, they didn't get much cultivation resources, but it wasn't entirely fruitless.
At least they could easily take out stacks of these Direction Jade Scrolls from the Upper God Land.
The Cosmic Pot adjusted its direction and swiftly headed towards Li Yin Divine Valley.
"Brother Huan, I never thought there would be a day I could charge the First Divine Valley this way, sigh..."
Chu Buqian finally calmed down from the shock, couldn't help but sigh.
Places that might take him hundreds of years to cross, for the strong, are less than a breath away.
Mo Changcan said sourly:
"Do you think anyone can pass the Divine Valley this way? It's only because of his pot. In a while, I'll also get a pot like this."
After entering the Upper God Land, everyone clearly felt the more abundant Heaven and Earth Divine Spirit Qi.
This time, it didn't take long to fly, just a few days, before Li Yin Divine Valley appeared within everyone's divine will.
Although their divine will couldn't yet reach inside Li Yin Divine Valley, the scenery outside was impressive.
There's a huge square at the entrance of Li Yin Divine Valley's sect, and it's bustling with people.
"Ding Huan, do you see if the sect is recruiting disciples?" Mo Changcan's divine will was strong; he saw Li Yin Divine Valley recruiting disciples.
"They are indeed recruiting disciples. Buqian, later we'll all disguise, you'll take the sect token in, and we'll follow behind you."
No need for Ding Huan to say; everyone knew they needed to disguise to enter Li Yin Divine Valley.
It's truly important as they would be apprehended immediately.
Once inside Li Yin Divine Valley, things would be easier.
(Good night, fellow Daoist!)
