Tianshi Temple, Tianshi Hall
The faint purple light column is hidden and revealed, with the shadows of people's eyes closed, standing quietly within it.
Beyond the light column, an old Tianshi in white robes, Zhang Daocheng, casually glanced at Zhang Tianlin within, "Old Ancestor, your people have arrived..."
As the words fell, Zhang Daocheng showed no intention of leaving.
Zhang Tianlin slightly opened his eyes within the light column, "Is there something?"
"Old Ancestor, my disciple is not talented, but I bear the title of the greatest in the world. If the Old Ancestor needs it, my disciple can exert all his efforts to help..."
"Not necessary."
Before Zhang Daocheng finished speaking, Zhang Tianlin interrupted him first.
Zhang Daocheng closed his mouth and his expression was complicated.
"Daocheng, it's not that I don't trust you, but rather, there are some matters that are not suitable for you to handle. Remember, you are to replace me as the hope of the human race. Do not be hasty in all things. Go down."
As Zhang Tianlin finished speaking, Zhang Daocheng promptly closed his mouth and turned to leave the Tianshi Hall.
Soon, a dark shadow rushed into the Tianshi Hall. Zhang Tianlin waved his hand, and a spiritual force flew out, completely isolating the hall from the outside world.
The black-robed figure greeted and saluted respectfully, then took out a transmitting stone from the space ring. He brought it close to Zhang Tianlin and heard a voice transmitted from the other side of the transmitting stone.
"Master, the matter has been resolved."
The voice was somewhat blurred, but it was still possible to discern that it was the voice of Tianfa, the supreme leader.
"What was the result?"
Zhang Tianlin didn't waste any words and directly got to the point.
There was a pause on the other end of the transmitting stone before a soft voice finally spoke: "The poison of the master has been applied by humble servant on his palm. He hit her, and, she has been poisoned..."
Zhang Tianlin raised an eyebrow slightly and said solemnly, "Did you not go to the source?"
Now, the voice from the other side of the master's stone was trembling somewhat, "Humble servant, humble servant..."
"Fine, knowing you are afraid of death. But it's also good that the main body didn't go, avoiding such a large loss. Tell me, how many moves did it take to defeat you?"
"One, one move..."
After hesitating for a moment, the head of the other family finally spoke the truth.
Zhang Tianlin was not surprised but his eyebrow twitched slightly, and his expression became unpleasant, "I really didn't expect that the first-grade I trained could not withstand a single move in her hand."
The Tianshi Hall fell into a deathly silence all of a sudden. Both the black-robed figure and the head of the other family, who was on the other end of the transmitting stone, trembled and dared not breathe a single breath.
"What's the latest news from the Holy Sword Sect?"
Zhang Tianlin's tone changed, he lowered his head and looked at the black-robed figure in front of him and asked.
"Report master, none of our people have survived."
The black-robed figure trembled as he answered.
"That's impossible."
The head of the other family immediately panicked and immediately refuted, "I clearly hit her. Wang Li and others have made multiple preparations. It is impossible for them to fail to capture her...unless, unless those poisons..."
At this point, the head of the family had closed his mouth. The poisons were specially made by Zhang Tianlin, and if he suspected those poisons, it would be a question of Zhang Tianlin's abilities.
To doubt his own master's abilities is something he dare not say out loud.
Zhang Tianlin's face remained unchanged within the light column, and he spoke solemnly, "We underestimated her strength. Liu Wuxin is not only first grade but also possesses extraordinary talent. Since the poison has not entered her heart or lungs, she should still be able to fight. It is entirely possible for her to have massacred our people, but now how is she doing? Can it be traced?"
The black-robed figure lowered his eyes, then immediately looked up upon hearing this, "According to reports from below, she left with Chen Mo and others in a beast carriage. The current situation has not been ascertained."
"However, since she has been poisoned, she naturally cannot live for long. Perhaps, by the time she entered the carriage, she has already become a corpse."
The black-robed figure's words instantly caught the interest of the head of the other family, as his caution led to the main body not making a move, which made Zhang Tianlin somewhat unhappy. Thinking of this, he also quickly supported him.
"Liu Wuxin does indeed have some skills to be able to kill so many of us while poisoned. But with the master's poison, I think she won't live much longer."
Zhang Tianlin's face showed no emotion, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking at that moment.
The black-robed figure watched in a state of shock, remaining silent for a while before continuing, "The poison I specially made should have already caused harm to ordinary first-grade cultivators. However, Liu Wuxin is different. Moreover, Chen Mo, an uncertain factor near her, is also present. As long as the toxins do not enter her heart and lungs, everything is still unknown..."
Zhang Tianlin's eyes flickered, and his face darkened as he stared at the black-robed figure. "Send someone to find out the current situation. By any means necessary, we must ascertain Liu Wuxin's current condition."
"Yes."
The black-robed figure slightly nodded and stood up to leave when Zhang Tianlin called him again.
"Have you prepared what I asked you to do?"
The black-robed figure answered without hesitation, "I have prepared it, just waiting for your orders."
"That's good"
Zhang Tianlin nodded slightly and looked outside the Tianshi Hall, "I have blocked the information, and no one else can predict it to this extent. However, Zhang Daocheng is not an ordinary person, so we will need to use some other tricks to deal with him."
"Wait a bit longer, and I can get out of this cage. Once I'm out, I will take back everything that I've lost with my own hands."
Tianmo sect, Imperial City
After a round of twists and turns, Chen Mo and his party finally brought Liu Wuxin back to the Imperial City. With Wind Hanxia and Yun Chunqiu by their side, they were able to pass through without any obstacles on their journey.
In the beast carriage, outsiders could not know the current status of Liu Wuxin.
However, what worried Chen Mo was that after the journey, Liu Wuxin's originally movable eyes had closed, and her complexion had grown even paler.
Although anxious, Chen Mo did not lose his composure at this moment. On one hand, he ordered Yun Chunqiu to summon a trustworthy imperial physician, and on the other hand, he ordered Wind Hanxia to seal the Imperial City and the entire Imperial Capital.
"What exactly has happened?"
The imperial physician summoned by Yun Chunqiu was a woman in a purple skirt named Song Wen, a Third-grade physician. Unlike the proud and capricious girl who only knows how to defend, she was an actual physician.
Although she lacks the combat power like Su KeNa, as a powerful healer, she is deeply trusted by the strong. Moreover, having been with Liu Wuxin since childhood, she has become her personal physician.
As she saw Liu Wuxin lying on the bed, Song Wen's face suddenly became serious. She had originally come in a hurry because Yun Chunqiu called her, thinking that the other party was overreacting.
After all, Liu Wuxin was a first-grade master, and it seemed as though there was no one in the world who could seriously injure her. However, upon seeing Liu Wuxin's condition, her face changed instantly to one of seriousness.
"You all can go outside first, leave it to me."
After uttering a sentence with a serious expression, Song Wen pushed Chen Mo and the others out of the bedroom.
Apart from the five saintesses of the Tianmo Sect, there was only this Third-grade physician who Liu Wuxin could entrust with her life. Chen Mo wasn't worried that she would do anything out of the ordinary.
Having left Liu Wuxin's bedroom earlier, a female official rushed over and said, "Chen Xiao, the saintesses want to see you."
