Chapter 1256: Chapter 548: The Poisonous Heavenly Wind Chapter 1256: Chapter 548: The Poisonous Heavenly Wind “Heh.”
The venomous woman had no intention of arguing, and with a coquettish voice, said, “This plague has little effect on the strong in the Fierce Realm, and at the beginning, even martial artists shedding the Mortal Realm are just weakened, but Chaochang will still beco a city of death.”
“All the animals within Chaochang’s territories will die with the plague in a very short period of ti, not even the fiercest beasts are an exception, perhaps only the spiritual beasts and wild beasts will be able to escape.”
“All water sources here will be contaminated, even boiling them will carry a strong acidic vapor.”
“By then, this place will be a world made up of only corpses, plague, and venomous insects. Which martial artist would want to continue living here?”
Martial artists also need to eat. The more powerful the martial artist, the higher the demand for nutrients. If all animals in Chaochang die, and all spiritual beasts and wild beasts flee, then the martial artists without a source of food will naturally not continue living here just because they are not afraid of the poison gas.
Decimation is all too easy for martial artists. It’s just that such a brutal thod like that of the poison cultivators is a rarity.
Other martial artists might destroy cities and break lands, leaving behind ruins and debris, but a poison cultivator could turn a perfectly intact city into a dead city.
If it really cos to what the venomous woman suggested, relocating might beco the only way out for the noble families.
So even though the woman was smiling sweetly now, the heaven-ranked assassins accustod to seeing life and death still couldn’t manage a smile.
The Luo Shang woman in semi-transparent attire looked at everyone with a mix of fear and reverence in their eyes, laughed softly, and said, “Hehehe, but you all don’t have to fear, isn’t this just a hypothetical scenario at Mr. Gou Chen’s request? In reality, who could achieve this? Just breeding tens of millions of poison rats would consu an astronomical amount of poisonous herbs and food every day, and the end result would just be a dead city. Nobody would be so foolish.”
“I don’t think that’s quite right.”
The Devil Lord pondered for a mont and finally spoke again, “It’s not that the thod is poor, but it has limited deterrence to the strong and can provoke fury from both heaven and earth. After all, Chaochang is the pearl of Longzhou, and countless powerful forces have set up their bases here to engage in comrce. And the foundation of all forces rests on martial artists below the shedding Mortal Realm, including many won and clan mbers. If we really go through with this, it will be extrely difficult to proceed in the future!”
Hmm…
Everyone nodded, feeling that the Devil Lord made sense, but as they listened, sothing seed off.
“Mr. Gou Chen seems to know sothing. Is there an implication to your words?”
“It’s just an unverified guess.”
Tang Luo said indifferently, “Based on your observations, what is the outco of the battle between Da Lin’s allied forces and the Xiang Family?”
“Without the leader who strategizes behind the curtains and after losing several generals, if the Xiang Family’s Ancestor were in good health, he might be able to turn the tide. But rumors say his spirit has faded, and I’m afraid the Xiang Family won’t be able to match the high-end combat power of Da Lin’s Comrce Alliance allied forces.”
As an assassin organization, the Ancient Blood Tower values intelligence highly. Thanks to the widespread Wind dia Organization in Chaochang, Gu Han had already clarified the situation upon entering the city, naturally allowing for a clear judgnt.
But the clash between powers is not a contest of conspiracies and sches, but a collision of pure strength.
They could discern this information, and those present could see even more clearly. Based on the character of typical businessn, the Xiang Family should be initiating peace talks now, preserving their live forces.
Even if the conditions proposed by the Da Lin Comrce Alliance were sowhat excessive, the Xiang Family, holding the Divine Dynasty’s token, still had room to retreat. At least the other party would not completely annihilate them out of respect for the holy land.
Therefore, Gu Han did not understand the Xiang Family’s fierce resistance. What exactly was the reason?
“The Xiang Family is buying ti.”
The Devil Lord said indifferently, “Now that the current situation is chaotic, all the Wind dia have lost their acuteness, and the noble families are all focusing on the battlefield ahead. But their desperate resistance there does not represent the Xiang Family’s resolve to defend Chaochang to the death.”
“What makes you say that?”
“Right now, Chaochang is in great turmoil, and rchants can barely avoid it. However, many new rchant ships have stopped at the South Sea port. Doesn’t the Protector find that strange?”
Tang Luo had always felt that he might beco so kind of all-encompassing explorer. On his way flying over, he spotted from afar that the previously sparse harbor suddenly had many large ships anchored. Judging by the draft of those ships, they were all empty. This was indeed thought-provoking.
“Does the master an that the Xiang Family is planning to flee?”
Gu Han frowned and said, “But how could they flee? Are they going to abandon all the warriors from the four camps? That would only lead to greater losses, wouldn’t it!”
“This matter should be inquired of Miss Little Ling.”
Once again, the Devil Lord turned to the poisoner and asked, “I wonder if there is so kind of poison mist that specifically targets warriors. It doesn’t need to be fatal, just as long as it can stop the enemy and buy so ti.”
“This…”
The poisoner hesitated for a mont and said uncertainly, “There are such things, but creating poison gas that targets warriors is a hundred tis more difficult than creating a plague!”

Xiang Family’s Estate
Qiankun Tower
Within just a few days, Xiang Qian, who had aged considerably, sat on the high platform and asked a hunchback with a face full of poisonous pustules, “How are the preparations?”
“Reporting to the Ancestor, everything is ready.”
The hunchback with the pustules chuckled heinously, “I’ve gathered the filth collected from the gold essence of Chaochang over the past twenty years beneath the Wilderness battlefield, awaiting only the Ancestor’s order to detonate the Ten-thousand-poison Heavenly Wind!”
“How powerful is it?”
“When it erupts, it will surpass the combined attack at the pinnacle of the Profound level, and its range will be even greater and wider.”
The hunchback’s eyes glead with madness, “Anyone wounded by the Ten-thousand-poison Heavenly Wind will undoubtedly perish if they are in the Mortal Realm, and those in the early phase of Fierce Realm will suffer severe damage to their Primary Qi. As long as our forces avoid it in advance, once the Ten-thousand-poison Heavenly Wind subsides, we will be able to return all the suffering the Da Lin allied forces inflicted on our clan!”
“Good.”
Xiang Qian nodded in satisfaction, “If this truly succeeds, it will be a worthy return for the many years the family has cultivated you!”
“I am grateful for the clan leader and the Ancestor’s trust!”
Overco with emotion for Xiang Ange’s kindness, the hunchback exclaid sadly, “I only hate that the old traitor Hook Chen has gone into hiding. If he dares show up on the battlefield, I will make sure the Ten-thousand-poison Heavenly Wind poisons him to death to avenge our blood feud!”
“There will be opportunities in the future.”
Xiang Qian said indifferently, “The Devil Lord Hook Chen and that cheap wench from the Yun Family must be coveting the foundation our clan has built in Chaochang. Once we get to Zhongzhou, just report this situation to the Esoteric Sect, and naturally, a Vajra Grandmaster will co to capture them. We needn’t worry about this.”
“It’s a sha I can’t execute that villain myself!”
The hunchback said viciously, “He even dreams of coveting Chaochang in broad daylight!”
“Enough.”
Xiang Qian waved his hand weakly, “Right now, the most important thing is to evacuate our clan. Have the Li Family’s ships entered the port?”
“Reporting to the Ancestor.”
A strategist, who had been bowing his head by the side, stepped forward and said, “Li Family’s large ships entered the port this morning. There are sixteen triple-decker ships; each can carry three thousand people, aside from six hundred and eighty sailors, making a total capacity of fifty thousand people.”
