The Black Death Blade, through Liu Shan, at most knows his general situation.
Shen Wang stroked his chin, recalling the last ti they joined forces with the Black Death Blade King to slay the Black Water Stronghold thieves who besieged the ancestral land.
Back then, he used the Black Death Gu Poison to break the siege of that group of thieves. Afterward, he asked Liu Shan to help with the cleanup, not expecting the Black Death Blade King to take the opportunity to infiltrate Liu Shan’s body with Gu poison, turning him into an eye beside him.
He suspected Liu Shan didn’t even know he was affected by Gu poison, similar to the Village Chief, Gong Yu at the ti, becoming a puppet.
Therefore, he wasn’t in a position to directly kill Liu Shan; Liu Shan had suffered hardships for him. The best way was to resolve the Black Death Gu Poison.
Otherwise, who knew if the people around him would unknowingly fall victim to this poison, with its peculiar nature, even those below the Golden Core level could be poisoned.
Shen Wang, already in the late stage of Foundation Establishnt, had a rather strong Spiritual Sense. After a careful check, he discovered the breath of Gu poison at the center of Gong Yu’s forehead.
This thing hid in the brain, incredibly tiny, hard to detect, and challenging to remove.
Worried about alerting the enemy, Shen Wang thought for a mont; as he wasn’t confident of removing the Gu poison now, he might as well set a trap to control it instead.
He left behind part of his Spiritual Sense to control the Gu poison at any ti. Once the Gu poison made any move, he could at least know.
After finishing this, he allowed Liu Shan to wake up.
The latter was a bit confused: "Master, why did I faint?"
"You were attacked by an array, and it knocked you out imdiately."
Shen Wang replied, unable to confess that he had previously considered killing him.
"Oh, this mountain is indeed dangerous." Liu Shan was horrified.
"Don’t think you can roam freely just because I control the arrays; you are not familiar with them. Usually, don’t wander around on the mountaintop. If I’m not around, no one will know if you die."
Shen Wang reminded.
Liu Shan’s expression stiffened, and he hurriedly nodded: "Yes, Master."
Shen Wang brought Liu Shan back to the thatched hut and told everyone, "The crisis is over; we’ll stay at the mountainside next, as the mountaintop rooms are too small and cramped."
Everyone’s faces eased, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Husband, you’re amazing; you repelled another wave of enemies."
Paper Kite praised.
Shen Wang smiled wryly: "Having no enemies at all would be best; otherwise, it keeps everyone on edge all the ti."
"Husband, we aren’t worried; having enemies is quite good, preventing us from becoming lax in our cultivation."
Jia’Er shook her head.
"There are both pros and cons; let’s not talk about it now. Tonight, I’ll cook sothing nice for a little celebration."
Shen Wang smiled and said, "In the upcoming period, we should be able to have so peace."
"Dad, I want to eat braised pork."
The babbling Shen Lixia exclaid while jumping around.
"I want twice-cooked pork." Shen Chuxue giggled; their father’s cooking skills were so good that everyone in the family loved it.
"Alright, I’ll satisfy all of you today."
The family happily descended the mountain, with Shen Wang still personally cooking. Not only did it earn him many rewards, but it also eased his mind.
While cooking, he maintained vigilance around with the Tai Chi Yin Yang Realm. Sure enough, it wasn’t long before a group showed up; it was the Yun Family’s people.
Cloud Thunder and his n circled every place with evidence of battle, finding only ashes and bloodstains, with no living person in sight.
Beside him, a pale and shaky Yun Lingshu said: "No need to search; aside from , they all should be dead."
"Didn’t soone rescue two from the Demon Suppression Departnt’s siege? Could they have t misfortune too?"
Cloud Thunder was puzzled.
"I’m not sure; I couldn’t contact anyone."
Yun Lingshu sighed: "Once they entered that area, they disappeared; there must have been an ambush inside."
"The token shattered, so they are likely already gone."
Cloud Thunder stated the outco.
Yun Lingshu went silent for a mont, her eyes a bit red.
The Great Elder and the Fifth Elder had been so good to her, yet they perished in this desolate wilderness, leaving her deeply saddened.
"I will avenge them!"
Yun Lingshu gritted her teeth, determination in her eyes.
"There will be opportunities. Focus on healing and enhancing your strength first,"
Cloud Thunder comforted: "The situation has already changed, and there might be unrest in the future. You must be as careful as possible, grow quietly, and the day of avenging will naturally co."
"Yes, Clan Leader."
Yun Lingshu nodded, aware that her cultivation wasn’t sufficient. Without the life-preserving ans granted by the sect’s Supre Elder, she might have perished this ti too.
The group continued to vigilantly probe the surroundings, unaware that all this was under Shen Wang’s surveillance.
Subsequently, another group joined the Yun Family’s people.
"Shu’Er, are you alright?"
A gentle breeze blew by, revealing a middle-aged man with an immortal deanor; it was Cyan Wind Zhenren, the leader of the Xun Vein of Celestial Travel Sect.
He was accompanied by over thirty people and two others of Golden Core level.
"Master."
Yun Lingshu approached and said, "Your disciple is fine."
Cyan Wind checked Yun Lingshu’s condition, his face darkening: "Hurt so badly and yet you’re fine?"
He took out an elixir for Yun Lingshu to consu and addressed Cloud Thunder: "Was it truly the Demon Suppression Departnt who acted against the Royal Family’s internal conflict, daring to touch our people?"
"The ssage was relayed back by our clansman before death; we wouldn’t make such claims otherwise."
Cloud Thunder coldly stated: "This ti our Yun Family lost three Golden Cores, nearly twenty Foundation Establishnt elites, not to ntion the Xie Family’s loss. Besides the Demon Suppression Departnt, who else can Cyan Wind Vein Leader suggest?"
"I don’t doubt you, but the matter is significant and must be taken seriously."
Cyan Wind Zhenren shook his head: "I have reported to the Sect Leader on how to respond; we’ll wait for news."
"Right now, the people of the Demon Suppression Departnt might be hiding within the ninth peak ahead, which was once the Void Sect’s territory. Now it is likely being utilized by the Demon Suppression Departnt, with a killing array potentially threatening Golden Core lives within."
