Chapter 1533: Wei Ruyan Arrives

“Damn it!”

Unlike Ren Qingyuan’s excitement, Shen Que’s face changed color.

“What’s wrong?”

Lin Jianghai and the others looked over in confusion.

“Luo Qingchen is the great elder of the Luo family, with profound mastery over space. The poison we set up under Master Zhang’s instructions would easily handle ordinary people, but it’s nearly impossible to keep him out!”

Shen Que explained.

“Then what do we do?”

Lin Jianghai and He Guangyu both turned pale.

All things in the world mutually constrain each other; no matter how potent the poison, there is always an antidote. The true qi poison left by Master Zhang, before so many masters, they knew it wouldn’t last long before being neutralized, but they hadn’t expected it to happen so fast!

They had hoped to hold out until the殿主 returned, when everything would be resolved, but they never anticipated the Luo family’s great elder showing up at this moment!

“...That’s the situation. I implore Elder Qingchen to act!”

Ren Qingyuan finished explaining the situation and clasped his hands.

“What’s so difficult about that?”

With a light laugh, Luo Qingchen grabbed through the air.

Rip!

Zhang Xuan and the others immediately felt as if the space around them had been isolated. The true qi and poison they had set up were cut apart by a special force, as if collected into a unique space, severing all connection.

“Many thanks...”

Seeing him resolve it easily, Ren Qingyuan nodded in satisfaction.

Given enough time, they could have done the same, but to do it as delicately as he did, without harming the surroundings at all, was difficult.

“Let me handle it!”

With the surrounding poison separated by space, Zhang Wuhen laughed and suddenly struck.

When he spoke, he was still in the air, an unknown distance away; by the last word, he had already appeared before Shen Que and the others. His open palm pressed down fiercely, as if heaven and earth were overturned, time and space ceasing to exist.

From Luo Qingchen’s separation of space to Zhang Wuhen’s attack, there was almost no time interval, leaving no chance to react.

“Block it!”

With a loud shout, Shen Que raised his hands, poison qi spraying upward to meet the attack.

“Hmph!”

Without dodging, Zhang Wuhen turned his palm again.

Crack!

The poison qi was immediately forced back by the overwhelming power, drilling into Shen Que’s pores.

Pfft!

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Shen Que’s face turned black. He quickly took an antidote and felt somewhat better, but by then he could no longer evade the incoming force. His chest caved in, and he was knocked to the ground, his body as if imprisoned, unable to move.

“No wonder the Zhang and Luo families are forming a marriage alliance—time and space combined are indeed terrifyingly powerful...”

Seeing the strongest among the group, the Right Protector, rendered combat-ready, Ren Qingyuan couldn’t help nodding.

Individually, the Zhang and Luo families fell short of the Master Teacher Pavilion headquarters, but united, even the latter would have to think twice.

“There’s no need for Elder Wuhen to trouble himself further. You two, take these two down as well!”

With a sigh of admiration, Ren Qingyuan said.

“Yes!” Elder Qu, Elder Bai, and several old masters flew out simultaneously.

Earlier, Zhang Xuan’s setup had thrown off their rhythm, and the sudden release of unknown poison had prevented them from succeeding. But now, after studying the poison for a while and understanding its properties, attacking again was not so difficult.

Bang bang bang!

In the blink of an eye, Elder Qu and the others clashed with Lin Jianghai and He Guangyu.

“The gap in strength is too great...”

Zhang Xuan was frantic but helpless.

His methods could only make the nine-star master teachers hesitate to attack for a short time, but unfortunately, they were directly thwarted by this great elder of the Luo family.

To be precise, the three poison masters, despite their high status in the Poison Hall, were still far inferior to the Master Teacher Pavilion’s foundations.

Pfft! Pfft!

Within ten moves, Lin Jianghai and He Guangyu were severely wounded, pinned to the ground by immense force like Shen Que, unable to move.

“Don’t kill them yet. If that Poison Hall master dares to act against masters, we can use them as bargaining chips!” Ren Qingyuan waved his hand.

The new Poison Hall master, though young, was said to possess the Innate Poison Body, with unparalleled poison skills. If he truly attacked the surrounding master teachers, no one could stop him.

Moreover, even if they rushed to rescue them, it would be too late. Rather than being passively controlled, it was better to capture these few first, giving them leverage.

“Alright...”

Elder Qu nodded. Just as he was about to restrain Lin Jianghai, Shen Que, and the others, he suddenly sensed a dangerous aura surging toward him. Startled, he hurriedly retreated, but before he could get far, his face turned black, and his true qi spiraled out of control. With a “plop,” he fell from the air.

“What’s wrong?”

Ren Qingyuan’s pupils contracted, and Zhang Wuhen and the others were also stunned.

“There’s no need for the Master Teacher Pavilion to look after my Poison Hall’s people...”

Then, a faint voice rang out. Immediately, everyone saw a woman in red slowly descending from the air.

She looked young, only seventeen or eighteen, slender and petite. Around her, pink waves of qi rolled, covering a dozen meters. Any true qi or vegetation that entered was instantly corroded into nothing.

Ren Qingyuan sent his divine sense to probe, but it was cut off before reaching the center. The poisonous force even traced back, nearly invading his primordial spirit.

“Such formidable poison qi...”

His expression turned grave, his brows raised.

As the acting hall master of the Master Teacher Pavilion headquarters, his strength was among the top of the elders, second only to the secluded supreme elders, and definitely at the peak of the entire continent!

With such strength, he couldn’t even probe her—this was too terrifying!

“Are you the new hall master?”

He couldn’t help asking.

This Poison Hall master was even more formidable than he had imagined; even going all out, he might not be able to defeat her.

Ignoring his question, the woman in red continued descending.

“Our hall master asked you a question—are you mute?”

Unable to tolerate her rudeness, a nine-star master teacher couldn’t hold back and shouted loudly.

Raising her eyelids, the woman lightly waved her hand.

“Ah...”

The nine-star master teacher’s face instantly turned pitch black, as if his throat was gripped, and he fell from the air like Elder Qu.

Ren Qingyuan quickly caught him and fed him an antidote pill, restoring him somewhat. But he dared not speak again, filled with shock.

A casual wave, poisoning someone from such a distance—what kind of power was this?

Not only he, but the other nine-star master teachers also dared not speak, their muscles tense, expressions grim.

One person suppressing over a dozen nine-star master teachers and the leaders of three major powers into silence—no one would believe it if told!

This was the Innate Poison Body, one of the most powerful physiques in the world, a supreme existence that even Confucius had treated with caution!

Whoosh!

Under the awe-filled gazes of the crowd, the woman in red landed on the ground, bent her knees, and knelt.

“Disciple Wei Ruyan arrived late, causing Master to be alarmed!”
