231: Chapter 228 Interrogation 231: Chapter 228 Interrogation In the room, Ye Xuan sat cross-legged on the bed, his True Qi circulating within him, while at this ti, Ling Qianxue had already fetched the dicinal herbs and quietly waited by his side.
At this mont, within Ye Xuan’s body, the poisonous toxin was rampant, trying to completely obliterate his vitality.
However, with a solution at hand, the spread of the toxin was gradually being restrained.
Inside his body, one could see through introspection that the toxin, like black spots, had taken root in the ridians, corroding the vitality within Ye Xuan.
Having refined all the dicinal herbs Ling Qianxue brought back, a surge of dicinal power carried by his True Qi traveled throughout his body, making a sizzling sound upon contact with those black spots.
However, the dicinal power alone was not enough to eradicate the black spots.
Spurt!
Just then, within the ridians, clumps of deep red flas also erged, joining the dicinal power to dissolve the toxin resembling the black spots.
However, the toxin had penetrated deep into the flesh and blood.
To eradicate it completely, one must endure the fiery pain that eats away at the bones.
Yet Ye Xuan knew the longer it dragged on, the worse it would be for him.
Without hesitation, he began to use the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire to expel the toxin.
The strands of fla reached deep into the flesh and lted away the black spots.
The human body’s most fragile part is the flesh and blood, which can be easily injured.
Although Ye Xuan’s ridians and flesh were far tougher than ordinary people’s, the pain caused by using the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire to eliminate the toxin was still unimaginable.
Before long, sweat beads the size of beans seeped from Ye Xuan’s forehead.
His entire flesh bore a hint of crimson color, and occasionally strands of black smoke rose from his pores, carrying a burnt odor.
Ye Xuan’s face showed fluctuating expressions, occasionally appearing twisted as if in extre pain.
Ling Qianxue, watching by the side, was extrely concerned and at a loss.
She couldn’t help but feel anxious.
“Rest assured, girl.
If this kid says he has a way, then he’ll be fine.
Don’t worry.”
Flood Dragon seed quite confident in Ye Xuan.
After all, in his eyes, there seed to be nothing Ye Xuan couldn’t accomplish.
The latter harbored too many secrets, so much so that even he dared not claim to understand Ye Xuan.
At Flood Dragon’s words, Ling Qianxue rely nodded slightly.
However, the worry in her eyes did not diminish, as Ye Xuan’s condition really did not permit optimism.
After enduring the bone-forging detoxification of the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire for a good ten minutes or so, Ye Xuan finally opened his eyes.
Then with a wide-open mouth, he “pfft” expelled a mouthful of black smoke.
“How is it?”
Ling Qianxue and Flood Dragon imdiately ca forward, asking with concern.
“Rest assured, this level of toxin can’t defeat .”
Ye Xuan spoke sowhat relaxedly.
However, seeing his pale complexion, Ling Qianxue knew it must not have been easy.
Still, hearing Ye Xuan’s confident tone, she also let go of her worry.
“Kid, you were too careless this ti.
You almost bit the dust.”
Flood Dragon looked at Ye Xuan with so amusent.
The latter had actually been poisoned by the Black Demon Sect’s exotic toxin.
If it had been anyone else, they would have likely been dead by now.
Only with Ye Xuan’s various thods was he lucky enough to survive.
“It wasn’t carelessness.
I just didn’t expect the Black Demon Sect to strike at Mu Yan.
Moreover, they acted right when I was about to leave.
It seems they’re not ready to let go just like that.”
A cold light flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes, “Well, that’s fine.
I didn’t want to fight the Black Demon Sect to the death, but since that’s the case, I won’t hold back.”
After Ye Xuan had killed the Netherworld Corpse King last ti, he expected that he must have foiled the Black Demon Sect’s plans.
He thought that the Sect would be significantly weakened and would lay low for a while, but he didn’t expect them to retaliate so quickly.
In that case, he might as well settle the score with the Black Demon Sect before he left.
“What do you plan to do?
The Black Demon Sect may be weakened, but a cal starved to death is still bigger than a horse.
It won’t be easy to deal with,” Flood Dragon asked, looking rather serious.
“I know.”
Ye Xuan nodded, “For now, we must first find out where the headquarters of the Black Demon Sect is, then share the information with the major Sects, especially the Wildfire Sect.
Their Molten Lava Earth Core Fire was stolen by the Black Demon Sect, wasn’t it?
I reckon if they got the news, they wouldn’t just let it be, right?”
“The Black Demon Sect has always been elusive.
How can you know the location of their headquarters?” Flood Dragon frowned, evidently finding Ye Xuan’s idea unrealistic.
“I don’t know now, but there’s soone who definitely does.”
Ye Xuan suddenly looked towards Ling Qianxue, speaking with a faint smile.
Caught off guard by Ye Xuan’s gaze, Ling Qianxue was puzzled.
Yet, her eyes brightened shortly after, “Could it be that you an…”
“Exactly.”
A figure flashed through Ye Xuan’s mind, and his eyes glead, “This ti, I’ll thoroughly eliminate these future troubles…”
After these words, Ye Xuan slowly closed his eyes again, starting to recuperate.
The detoxification had drained him significantly, and the Life Soul Dissolving Powder had caused great harm to his body.
It would take so ti to fully recover.
…
Ti passed, and in the blink of an eye, four to five days had gone by.
During the ti that Ye Xuan was recovering, Ling Qianxue and the Flood Dragon, acting under Ye Xuan’s orders, made a trip back to the Heavenly Martial Hall.
Ling Qianxue alone naturally couldn’t handle Ye Xuan’s request efficiently, but with the aid of the Flood Dragon, things beca much easier.
By the ti the two returned, they brought with them an additional person.
This person was the one Ye Xuan needed, the one he had ntioned knew the location of the Black Demon Sect’s headquarters: the senior brother of Qian Hall, Long Zhiyang.
Long Zhiyang was originally cultivating peacefully in Qian Hall.
Without leaving the mountain, Ling Qianxue naturally had limited options; she couldn’t possibly take action within the Heavenly Martial Hall.
She ca up with a plan to lure him down the mountain.
Once they were away from the Hall, she and the Flood Dragon joined forces, capturing him with ease.
Peeling off the cloth that covered his head, Long Zhiyang appeared before Ye Xuan bound tightly with ropes.
As soon as he recognized the person in front of him was Ye Xuan, his expression abruptly changed.
“Ye Xuan, you’ve got so nerve to tie up and bring here.
Do you intend to settle personal vendettas?” Long Zhiyang’s face darkened as he bellowed furiously.
“Settling personal vendettas?”
Ye Xuan’s lips curled slightly, “It seems we don’t have any personal grudges.
I rely invited Brother Long here to assist with a matter.
If you agree to help, naturally, I will release you.”
“What matter?”
Long Zhiyang was stunned, then his expression shifted as he suspected Ye Xuan wouldn’t just let him go so easily.
“Lead us to the Black Demon Sect’s headquarters,” Ye Xuan stated calmly.
Upon hearing this, Long Zhiyang’s pupils sharply contracted, and then he burst into laughter, “Are you joking?
How could I possibly know where the Black Demon Sect’s headquarters are?
If I knew, I would’ve inford the Hall Master and united with the major sects to launch an attack long ago.”
“Stop pretending, Brother Long.
You’ve been a long-standing spy of the Black Demon Sect within our Heavenly Martial Hall.
If even you don’t know, who would?” Ye Xuan said with a smile.
“What nonsense are you spouting,” Long Zhiyang’s expression darkened, “Without evidence, you can’t just accuse soone of being a spy.”
He looked displeased, but then his eyes suddenly caught sight of Ling Qianxue beside him and lit up.
He hurriedly said, “Qianxue, why are you here too?
Quickly untie , and together let’s kill Ye Xuan, this insolent beast.”
However, Ling Qianxue seed completely indifferent to his words and calmly spoke, “Brother Long, you should just tell the truth.
I don’t know what the Black Demon Sect promised you to have you work for them.”
Initially, Ling Qianxue only had her suspicions, but now her doubts about Long Zhiyang had deepened to the point that she was almost convinced he was the spy.
“Qianxue, don’t be fooled by this kid’s words.
The one who intended to harm you was him.
This kid must have so kind of a sche, he’s framing …” Long Zhiyang quickly tried to defend himself, but before he could finish, Ye Xuan suddenly appeared in front of him, grabbed his chin, and forced a pill down his throat.
The pill went down Long Zhiyang’s throat and was quickly swallowed.
“What did you give ?” Long Zhiyang’s face drastically changed as he looked at Ye Xuan.
“Poison.
A type called Life Soul Dissolving Powder,” Ye Xuan said with a sinister smile.
“Impossible!
Life Soul Dissolving Powder is the peculiar poison of the Black Demon Sect, only the Bright and Dark Ming King knows how to concoct it.
How could you possibly have it?
Stop joking around, do you really think I’m a three-year-old that can be so easily fooled?” Long Zhiyang was completely incredulous.
“You know that?” Ye Xuan’s expression had a teasing look, “Then surely you must also know what symptoms follow after being poisoned by Life Soul Dissolving Powder.
Blood coagulation, sluggish movents, waning vitality…”
“You madman, give the antidote now.
Don’t you want to learn the specific location of the Black Demon Sect from ?
If you poison to death, you’ll never find out,” Long Zhiyang, feeling the abnormality in his body and the precision of Ye Xuan’s words, his complexion shifted and he shouted with a hint of fear.
Long Zhiyang was all too familiar with the symptoms of Life Soul Dissolving Powder, and at this mont, true fear welled up inside him.
Hearing this, Ling Qianxue’s delicate face changed as well, and a hint of anger appeared.
She hadn’t expected that the senior brother she always trusted was indeed a traitor from the Black Demon Sect and felt a sudden urge to run him through with her sword.
“Is that so?
Even if I poison you to death, I can find soone else.
Don’t overestimate your importance,” Ye Xuan spoke calmly, “Furthermore, there’s no cure for Life Soul Dissolving Powder.
I do have a thod of neutralizing the poison, but it cos with a ti limit.
You should decide quickly; ti waits for no one, and if the poison goes too deep, even I can do nothing about it.”
Ye Xuan spread his hands, appearing indifferent.
“Give the antidote, I’ll tell you!” Long Zhiyang’s complexion changed rapidly.
In the end, he capitulated first, for his own life was at stake, and he dared not gamble against the potency of Life Soul Dissolving Powder, not even as a Martial Sect Master.
