Chu Yang’s silhouette was speeding along the main road. A long ti had passed, and his heart had finally cald down. Moreover, he hadn’t t with any ambush along the journey. However, he had seen several scenes of people fighting in the Jianghu.
The more he approached the places where the great clans would gather, the more frequently he saw those fighting scenes. Corpses were lying everywhere along the way...
The great chaos of Jianghu had already arrived!
Chu Yang had been researching and studying the entire way. He had been thoroughly going through the ’Ten-Thousand Poisons Evil Book’. He felt that he had understood a few things from it.
[It seems like this ’Ten-Thousand Poisons Evil Book’ isn’t necessarily useless.]
[’Ten-Thousand Poisons Evil Book’... Chapter one —’Poison Spirit Evil Technique’... Chapter two —’Ten-thousand poisons of the world’... Chapter three —’Use Poison to counter Poison’... Chapter four —’World’s poisonous creatures’... Chapter five —’Indissoluble poisons’... Chapter six —’All the poisons of the world’...]
[The nas and pictures of Poisonous Flood Dragon and Lust Dragon are impressively presented in detail in chapter four —’World’s poisonous creatures’.]
[And, the lust poison of the Lust Dragon is categorized under the ’indissoluble poisons’.]
Sword Spirit inside Chu Yang’s mind frowned. He had felt so unusual fluctuations in Chu Yang’s energies. So, he couldn’t help but ask, "What are you doing?"
"Reading a book," Chu Yang replied while looking over the book.
"What book?"
"Ten-Thousand Poisons Evil Book!"
"Ten-Thousand Poisons Evil Book?!" Sword Spirit was startled. So, he said, "Let take a look."
Chu Yang used his intention, and put this book which was full of strange thods into the Nine Tribulations Space.
Sword Spirit’s entire face turned serious. He read the book page by page, and finally closed it once he was done. He then heaved a long sigh, and shut his eyes. He seed to be thinking deeply about sothing.
A long while passed. Then, Sword Spirit finally opened his mouth and said, "So it turned out to be that... this book isn’t called ’Ten-Thousand Poisons Evil Book’. The correct na of this book is...’Guide to the World of Poison’..."
"’Guide to the World of Poison’?" Chu Yang was puzzled as he asked.
"That’s right." Sword Spirit took a deep sigh, "This Guide to the World of Poison contains the thods of using various effects of poisons to poison people as well as the special thods which had made the ’Poison Doctor’ Wu Jue Cheng famous in the past."
"Poison Doctor Wu Jue Cheng?" Chu Yang racked his brain. However, he realized that he had never heard this na before.
"Poison Doctor Wu Jue Cheng was one of the nine brothers of the Master of the Nine Tribulations Sword forty-thousand years ago. And, Wu Clan used to be one of the nine dominating clans of the Nine Heavens thirty-thousand years ago. Wu Jue Cheng would move unhindered in the Jianghu in those days relying upon his poison techniques. He would kill people, but also save them. However, he never lifted a hand or used any weapon. In fact, he would kill people while chatting and laughing with them. Even outstanding heroes would beco helpless in front of him. Their valor would be of no use.
"The most thrilling fight of that ti was Wu Clan’s battle with the Heavenly Wolf Gang of the Upper Three Heavens. The Heavenly Wolf Gang had their foundation high up in the mountain forests. So, they stubbornly resisted. However, Wu Clan gained complete control of the battle after Wu Jue Cheng arrived and unleashed a plague. The area within a radius of fifteen-hundred kiloters had turned into a dead zone! No human or animal had survived!
"Wu Jue Cheng was indeed a highly proficient poison-expert. But, he was also a highly skilled divine doctor. He could heal any injury and counter any disease using poison. In fact, he could eradicate the illness while leaving no future worries. However, he subsequently started to develop an evil character. He started to do whatever he felt like doing. He was truly a ’monstre sacré’ of that ti!
"However, Wu Jue Cheng disappeared ten-thousand years later. A new Master of Nine Tribulations Sword had been born, and the Wu Clan had started to decline. It slowly disappeared from the Upper Three Heavens. After that, the ’Guide to the World of Poison’ never appeared in the Jianghu.
"However, so people of the Wu Clan had managed to escape. I suspect that Supre Expert Chen Feng who had once shaken the world was a descendent of Wu Jue Cheng."
Sword Spirit told the life history of this legendary character bit by bit... as if he was very familiar with the story. And, Chu Yang beca fascinated only by hearing it.
"I see." Chu Yang silently heaved a sigh.
"However, the book in your hand isn’t complete. It doesn’t contain the most important thods of using poison to counter poison. Moreover, it is clearly visible that the poison technique has undergone so tampering..." Sword Spirit smiled in a strange manner.
"Oh?" Chu Yang imdiately noticed that Sword Spirit’s tone had changed. He asked, "How do you know?"
"Ha ha... It’s because... I’ve rewritten this book!" Sword Spirit didn’t have any expression on his face as he replied, "However, I hadn’t expected that I’d see this book after thirty-thousand years."
"You rewrote this book?" Chu Yang jumped in fright this ti.
"Yes. I had obtained the Guide to the World of Poison at that ti after the Wu Clan was exterminated. The Sword Lord of that ti had said — this book can leave a mark on the generations to co in the hands of a noble person. But, it can lead to great suffering for the common people if it falls into the hands of a person with evil intentions. I want to destroy this book, but I hate to part with it. So, tamper this book, and then keep it with you. Remove all the evil and cruel thods that violate humanity, and decrease the might of the poison technique to the minimum. Also, separate the book into two volus — first and second."
"This book in your hand right now is the first volu," Sword Spirit said.
"So, you still rember everything?" Chu Yang’s eyes lit up.
"Yes, I rember everything. But, this martial art can do great damage. You can’t let soone else practice it since they might not be able to have a good control over it... Moreover, who’ll ensure that it doesn’t get used for harming people after you and your brothers are gone from this world?" Sword Spirit aningfully looked at Chu Yang.
"There isn’t any martial art in this world that is necessarily good or evil. Even the so-called prestigious clans don’t have any shortage of nasty people and disciples with wild ambitions. It’s like that saying —’even those who follow the demon’s crooked path aren’t necessarily the monsters that cause tornt to common people’. In fact, great n and true heroes also erge in abundance from among these monsters." Chu Yang indifferently said, "Besides, you destroyed the book at that ti because you and that ti’s Master of Nine Tribulations Sword had already seized the Nine Heavens. However, I haven’t even started my journey."
A solemn expression appeared in the eyes of Sword Spirit, "You want to practice it?"
"I have the ’Nine Tribulations Transcending the Nine Heavens Technique’. So, why would I bother to practice this poison technique?" Chu Yang said, "However, I need to know so of the thods no matter whether they save or harm people. This would only be useful in the future... It won’t be harmful."
Sword Spirit hesitated for a long while, and then said, "I don’t mind letting you know as long as you don’t circulate it... Alright, I’ll give you the complete Guide to the World of Poison!"
Chu Yang was overjoyed to hear this. So, he said, "Your brain is indeed loaded with a lot of good stuff. Let’s do it this way... How about I give you a big pile of papers and a pen, and you write down everything you have in your mind for ? After all, it must be troubleso to squeeze information out of your head when things co to a head like this."
Sword Spirit beca angry and said, "I was able to rember things because this book evoked my past mories. Do you think that I can retrieve everything from my mory by just trying to rember? You don’t have any catalyst to evoke my mories. Anyway, what would be the use of it? Would you study all of my mories of ninety-thousand years if I wrote everything down? It would be equivalent to the learning obtained from the ticulous lifeti study of tens of thousands of people! You’re truly the greediest. You’re never satisfied!"
Chu Yang touched his nose, and forced a smile.
...
[This guy definitely has a lot of good stuff hidden inside his mind! I can know many suitable ways to help my brothers upgrade their strengths if I can dig out more. But, where can I go to find so many catalysts?]
Chu Yang was thinking all this as he watched the Sword Spirit trying hard to recall his mories. However, Chu Yang’s feet had never stopped moving during this ti. He had climbed to the top of a mountain by this ti... He could only see green grassland in front of him at the mont. The trees seed to be verdant and lush. In addition, there were buildings stretching endlessly into the distance. And, a crystal-clear river was flowing in a zigzag manner. The residential areas were in the surroundings of this river.
The river looked like a beautiful belt of crystal-clear water. Its waves were gleaming with the reflection of the sunlight. In fact, it seed as if this stretch of land had co straight from a painting.
He had arrived at Mo Clan!
...
Gu Du Xing was passing through a forest. He suddenly felt that there was sothing fishy. Then, an aura ca through from his front. It was carrying so kind of oppression along with it.
[But, taking the detour at this mont won’t do. After all, the Gu Clan is just a hundred kiloters ahead from here.]
[I have to take this road. Otherwise, I’m afraid that I would have to go around for a few thousand kiloters... if I take the long route... The timing and terrain that the enemy has chosen is truly impeccable!]
Gu Du Xing suddenly thought in his heart as he strode over.
[I can’t go around. So, I’ll just have to kill!]
Gu Du Xing saw a man when he ca out from the forest. This man was standing upright and unafraid in the narrow seam between two mountains that were pressed together. The tassel of the sword on his shoulder was waving in the wind.
This man’s figure looked like a sharp sword at the entrance to the gap between two big mountains... In fact, it seed as if this sharp sword had cracked-opened that gap between those mountains.
This man’s stature was tall and sturdy. He had a towering figure. He also had fine beard on his face. He looked like a black-iron tower. He stood high and mighty like a mountain in the middle of the road. Wide sections of road were left on both sides of his body. But, it still felt as if he had blocked the entire road.
It seed as if not even a drop could trickle through.
"Brother Gu, long ti no see!" This man grinned as soon as he saw that Gu Du Xing had arrived. Then, he softly said. Simultaneously, an imposing aura of dominating the entire world suddenly spewed out from his shoulders.
Tu Qian Hao!
"Brother Tu?" Gu Du Xing’s body landed like cotton wool and stopped. His complexion was cold! He insipidly said, "There’s a scorching sun in the sky. However, Brother Tu looks lively and pleasant. Taking a leisurely sunbath under the blazing sun, are we?"
Tu Qian Hao spread a smile on his face. He then shook his head and said, "Brother Gu, you haven’t seen this old friend for so long. But, you’re still showing a poor attitude to him."
Gu Du Xing sneered. He then said without showing any trace of politeness, "Tu Qian Hao, you’re blocking my way. Are you telling that you have good intentions behind doing this? Just tell ... What do you want today?"
Tu Qian Hao took a deep breath. He then slowly pulled out the sword from the sheath behind his back. Then, he seriously said, "I had suffered a crushing defeat at Brother Gu’s hands in our last fight. So, I’ve co to ask for so advice from Brother Gu."
Gu Du Xing took a step forward. And, cold sword energy erged from his entire body. He then slowly swept his eyes around. After that, he lowly shouted, "Have you co by yourself?"
There was disdain in his voice. And, not even a bit of it was concealed.
Tu Qian Hao coldly snorted. He stared at him and said, "I won’t hide the truth from you. Twenty people from my Tu Clan have co with . So, we are twenty-one in total. And, our goal is to kill you!"
"He-he. You have a plan!" Gu Du Xing gave a false smile and snorted, "But, why haven’t you ordered them to set into action? Why has this Great Young Master been left alone here to wrangle with ?"
Tu Qian Hao’s face turned red. He fearlessly said, "Because... I want to fight with you before besieging you. A battle of life and death...!"
It seed as if Tu Qian Hao’s eyes would shoot flas. He then continued in a heavy tone, "I want to have a fair fight with you. Either I’ll kill you... or you’ll kill ...! And, I’ll commit suicide on the spot if any of my n dares to set into action before this decisive battle is over."
Then, he turned around and fiercely shouted, "Did you guys hear? Co out for !"
Several ’shua’ sounds were heard as twenty n ca out from behind a boulder in quick succession. They then stood behind Tu Qian Hao.
Tu Qian Hao’s complexion turned as stiff as iron. He then shouted in a strict voice, "The one who dares to set into action before the fight ends will be responsible for my death! Understood?! I’ve been wild, arrogant, an, and sly for my entire life. But, I’ve never been called ’spineless’. We can’t allow anyone to call our Tu Clan spineless. Understood?!"
