Chapter 1532: The Grand Elder of the Luo Family

As the highest echelons of the Poison Hall, especially Shen Que, who had traveled the continent in search of the ancestral Poison Scripture, they had encountered countless powerful masters and even fought with their supreme elders... but never had they heard of anyone who could, with a single glance, know everyone's situation with perfect accuracy and arrange tactics without any flaw!

This was no longer mere insight, but something divine or ghostly!

"Hmm! No need to attack now. Here are a few streams of true energy. Hide them quietly around, making sure no one discovers them. Once done, return to me and sit down—don't worry about anything else..."

Zhang Xuan transmitted his voice, then flicked his fingers.

Each of the three experts received several streams of true energy.

These streams of true energy were abundant in spiritual energy, upright and righteous, without any trace of poison or other power. Although Lin Jianghai and the others did not understand why this was necessary, they still followed the instructions and deployed the true energy.

A poison master's greatest skill was administering poison without detection, and deploying such attribute-less true energy was even simpler. They quickly finished the task and returned to Zhang Xuan's side, sitting cross-legged as he had instructed, ignoring the many masters glaring down from the air.

Soon, the masters in the air dispelled the poison within them and looked over, frowning.

To be honest, given the situation just now, these men had a chance to escape. Yet instead of fleeing, they sat on the ground together—what were they up to?

"All a bluff! We were caught off guard earlier, but now that we're prepared, we'll surely slaughter them all!"

Elder Qu's face was grim.

"Indeed, just three poison masters. If we can't even handle them, what right do we have to sit at the helm of the world and fight the alien spirit race?"

A master could not help but shout.

To be honest, to the headquarters of the Master Teacher Pavilion, the Poison Hall, though sinister, was merely a minor nuisance, insignificant. They had thought that with their intervention, they could easily crush the three men. But they never dreamed that the enemy, using some unknown sinister method, would gain the upper hand in a single exchange.

"Their only strength is poison. I have a secondary cultivation in Nine-Star Medicine and often refine antidotes. Let me lead the charge!"

With a cold shout, a master stepped forward. He flipped his palm, placed an antidote pill in his mouth, and without waiting for Ren Qingyuan's approval, strode toward Zhang Xuan and the others. Mid-air, he struck down with a palm.

His power descended like a massive mountain. Just as it was about to land on their heads, it suddenly touched the true energy the men had deployed around them.

This stream of true energy immediately flowed upstream along his own true energy, in the blink of an eye burrowing into his body.

If it had been a poison, his protective true energy would have automatically blocked it, and even if it entered his body, the antidote pill would have neutralized it... But this stream of true energy had no attribute and was extremely pure. Once it entered his meridians, it sank directly into his internal organs.

Splash!

His face changed. The master's attack collapsed before it could land, and he fell from the air with a "plop," cold sweat pouring from his head.

"This is..."

Elder Qu's face changed. He hurried over: "Elder Bai is poisoned..."

He had encountered this situation before at the Ice Abyss Palace. This Zhang Xuan, disguised as Master Yang, had poisoned him, rendering him powerless—otherwise, he would never have allowed him to run rampant and completely destroy a palace that had stood for ten thousand years.

"Poisoned?"

Everyone quickly looked over and indeed saw Elder Bai trembling uncontrollably, as if enduring immense pain. The antidote pills he had taken were utterly useless.

"What kind of poison is this?"

Ren Qingyuan was horrified.

He knew Elder Bai's medical skills well—a Nine-Star Physician who had also taken an antidote pill, yet still poisoned... What kind of poison was so powerful?

"I don't know. It's exactly like ordinary true energy, but once it enters the body, it turns into poison, impossible to guard against..."

Elder Bai clenched his teeth, trembling as he explained.

"Like ordinary true energy... Could it be 'Thought into Poison'? This..."

Ren Qingyuan was shocked and immediately turned to instruct: "Everyone, do not attack rashly. Wait until we devise a countermeasure before acting!"

Thought into Poison was a formidable toxin. Normally, it appeared as an ordinary substance, undetectable, but once the user willed it, it would instantly turn into a deadly poison, impossible to guard against.

These men had deployed such a potent poison around them. If they charged in recklessly, accidents could easily happen. They needed to think of a countermeasure first.

"This poison, though potent, is also easy to neutralize. I've encountered it before. Let me help you..."

Elder Qu pointed his finger, sending a stream of true energy into Elder Bai's body.

He had been poisoned with this at the Ice Abyss Palace and knew the solution. Encountering it again, he knew that while it was painful, it would not harm the foundation.

Indeed, with his help, the poison was completely neutralized in less than three minutes. However, the masters looked at each other, momentarily afraid to advance.

Although the two had neutralized the poison, the fact that one could be poisoned without knowing it made anyone fearful and reluctant to approach.

"First, find where they deployed the poison and figure out what it is. Otherwise, we can only watch helplessly, with no way to act!"

"Don't worry, we've sealed off the area. They can't escape. Poison also has a time limit. I don't believe it can maintain this potency forever..."

The masters exchanged glances. No one attacked, but neither did they leave.

"Master Zhang... is also a master of poison?"

Seeing that over a dozen Nine-Star Masters, along with an acting hall master, were at a loss, Lin Jianghai and the others looked at the young man before them again, filled with admiration and awe.

They were all experts in poison, and they knew the terror of this 'Thought into Poison.' That ordinary true energy casually shot out by him could have such an effect was beyond their wildest dreams.

Earlier, they had thought that this Master Zhang merely had some kindness toward the hall master and couldn't bear to see her in trouble. Now they understood that this young man's understanding of poison far surpassed theirs, and even compared to the hall master, he was only stronger!

No wonder he was called teacher... He had truly taught her the art of poison!

"As long as the hall master returns, they probably won't dare to attack..."

Seeing that the masters, though furious, did not charge, Lin Jianghai and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Once the hall master arrived, she should be able to resolve the current crisis.

"What's going on here? Which one is Zhang Xuan? I'd like to see what he looks like—what kind of three-headed, six-armed monster he is!"

Just as the area fell silent, a faint voice rang out, and a figure slowly appeared.

It was a white-bearded old man.

"It's the Grand Elder of the Luo Family!"

Someone in the crowd recognized him.

"Haha, Luo Qingchen, you've come just in time..."

Seeing this man, Ren Qingyuan's eyes immediately lit up.
