Chapter 54: The Poisoning Diary of Xie Wuyan.

It’s about an hour or so before daybreak.

Another black cloud surged up, completely covering the sky, and the temperature around suddenly dropped. The sound of the wind rose abruptly, as if a storm was coming.

The ground shook violently, and clumps of dust and debris were raised, as if something was burrowing into the earth and spreading towards a certain direction.

The night of the full moon has not yet passed.

Although it’s unclear what method Xie Wuyan had just used, it’s obvious that with his current physical condition, he cannot easily use magic.

“Boom!”

Another violent tremor.

Thick and sturdy vines burst out of the ground, with a faint purple mist swirling around them, forcefully lifting up countless stones.

“Poisonous vines.”

The poison of the poisonous vines spreads rapidly, and if the antidote is not taken in time, it will quickly invade the heart in less than half an hour.

This doesn’t belong to the monsters that grow in this area, how did it get attracted here?

The antidote to the poisonous vines is not easy to prepare, and the group of people had no idea they would encounter such a monster here.

So don’t let them get close.

Xuanniao was very anxious: “There are a lot of poisonous vines coming.”

Xie Wuyan furrowed his brows slightly, reached out and placed his hand on Shen Wanqing’s nape, pulling her towards him. Then he extended his hand, gathering spiritual power at his fingertips, and the curse mark turned black in an instant.

“Wait!” Shen Wanqing noticed Xie Wuyan’s movement and grabbed his wrist, stopping him from the next action.

Without any hesitation, Shen Wanqing turned around and drew her sword. She took a deep breath, pricked her index finger, and drew a rune with her own blood before piercing it with the sword’s blade.

The spiritual power suddenly exploded, forming a circular barrier that pushed away all the vines that were constantly approaching. Every monster that touched the barrier would burst into flames in an instant, screaming and quickly retreating.

Shen Wanqing finally breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around and crouched in front of Xie Wuyan, continuing to tend to his wounds.

Xie Wuyan leaned his head against the tree trunk and looked down at Shen Wanqing in front of him, his lips slightly curled.

There was a little blood on her face, and her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, making her look like a particularly cute and obedient little girl who hadn’t grown up yet.

Unexpectedly, she had already learned how to protect herself.

“Why are you staring at me?” Shen Wanqing said unkindly as she tied another knot, then raised her head with pride. “When I read the book on spiritual cultivation, I didn’t just read about gossip and stories.”

Xie Wuyan laughed: “Yes, yes.”

“About an hour or so, the sky will be bright, and you can get a good rest,” Shen Wanqing confidently patted her chest, “I can support this barrier and prevent those monsters from breaking in. You can rest assured.”

“Unfortunately, that’s not possible.”

Xie Wuyan’s wounds were healing at a visible rate, but his complexion was still pale, and his voice was hoarse: “They were not only attracted here by the Ten Thousand Demon Attraction spell.”

“What were they coming here for?”

After finding that it was impossible to approach the barrier, the poisonous vines quickly burrowed back into the ground, connected to the demons and monsters on the side, and quickly moved towards a specific direction.

It seemed to be the direction of a village near the temple.

It was at this moment that Shen Wanqing noticed that that place was the center of all the demonic energy, attracting all the monsters to approach continuously.

With a loud “boom,” a green dragon formed by spiritual power broke out over the village, exploding in an instant and firmly piercing the ground, propping up a golden light barrier.

It was the power of Ji Feichen.

So these monsters were after Ji Feichen?

That shouldn’t be the case. Although the Ten Thousand Demon Attraction spell could attract monsters to come, it couldn’t control their minds. These monsters couldn’t have inexplicably attacked Feng Yaoqing and Ji Feichen.

“They’re after Princess Zhao Ping’s soul,” Xie Wuyan said, “For these monsters, a pure yin soul is the best material to nourish their own demonic power.”

Hundreds of demons and monsters continuously collided with the golden light barrier.

This level of defensive technique can be considered a relatively advanced spell. Although Shen Wanqing was able to successfully maintain a small safe area, she may not be able to withstand the attack of so many monsters. Moreover, it is obvious that Ji Feichen wants to protect an entire village, so it is clear that he is overwhelmed.

Shen Wanqing: “You stay here, I have to go help them.”

Hearing this, Xie Wuyan smiled, leaned back lazily, and put his hand on his knee: “What’s the matter? I have to let you protect me.”

“Exactly.”

Shen Wanqing replied confidently. She turned around, put her hands on her hips and began to lecture: “Special circumstances require special handling. Besides, it’s not embarrassing to let others take care of you occasionally.”

Xie Wuyan stared at her eyes, the smile fading from his face as he reached out and grabbed her arm.

“The Heavenly Dao Palace is just trying to force you to save them.”

“Well, but I still have to go.”

“Why?”

“I’m not sure, maybe it’s because they are important to me.”

His eyes, which had already lost their red color, looked straight at Shen Wanqing without any evasion. From his eyes, she could clearly see her own reflection.

His eyes gradually darkened, as if he wanted to ask something, but in the end, he didn’t say anything and just let go of her hand calmly.

Shen Wanqing lowered her eyelashes, wanting to ask Xie Wuyan what he wanted to say, but took a deep breath and ultimately didn’t ask. She turned around and left on her sword.

After seeing her leave, Xuanniao cautiously approached and landed on Xie Wuyan’s shoulder. After a long while, he whispered: “Your Highness, you just used the blood-burning technique. Are you okay?”

Xie Wuyan: “I won’t die.”

Xuanniao hesitated to speak, seemingly not completely convinced.

Shen Wanqing didn’t see it just now, but Xuanniao saw it very clearly.

The fire used blood and flesh as bait and bones as firewood. It almost burned his already weak soul to ashes. If it weren’t for the blood of Shen Wanqing left on the body of Master Yici, it was very likely that he couldn’t control that power and would burn his soul to ashes.

Xie Wuyan hadn’t used the blood-burning technique for hundreds of years.

Back then, he was treated as a weapon of the Heavenly Dao Palace and was constantly burning himself as a sacrifice to resist the demons. Later, he was pushed into the sword furnace and used almost all of his power to burn his entire body before barely escaping.

Just twenty years in this world had already pushed his soul to its limit. If he used such a technique again, he could explode and die at any time.

The Heavenly Dao Palace knows this secret.

Because Xie Wuyan was sealed a hundred years ago, he has not used this secret technique. Even though his power could fully utilize the power of the blood-burning technique.

“Your Highness, you can’t use this secret technique anymore.” Xuanniao said anxiously, “If there is another time, it could be…”

“Hmm, I know,” Xie Wuyan stood up, “I said I won’t die.”

“But…”

“I’m not lying to you.”

He doesn’t lie to her.

Xuanniao finally breathed a sigh of relief, but as Xie Wuyan started to leave, it hurriedly followed and asked: “Your Highness, where are you going?”

“To save people.”

Xuanniao was puzzled.

Isn’t it already impressive that you, as a demon lord, can confidently say this word?

. . . . .

When Shen Wanqing arrived, the poisonous vines broke through the golden light barrier and attacked the panicked villagers directly.

A white figure swiftly passed through the air.

Ji Feichen’s sword flew out of his hand and forcefully cut off the thick vine, causing purple slime to splash out.

Without giving any breathing room, the poisonous vine quickly grew two branches and headed straight towards Feng Yaoqing, who was protecting Qin Zhihuan and Princess Zhao Ping.

“Ah Yao!”

Ji Feichen turned around and blocked the attack with his back.

“Crack一”

The vine pierced his bones, and the purple liquid quickly seeped in from the wound.

Ji Feichen sprayed out a mouthful of blood.

“Feichen!”

Feng Yaoqing turned around, and the blood splashed onto her face, but she didn’t care. She raised her hand and cut off the vine, then hugged Ji Feichen tightly.

When the monsters were about to tear open the golden light barrier, Shen Wanqing finally arrived.

Three talismans dispersed and reinforced the broken areas. The golden light barrier flashed, and the previously broken areas were re-strengthened. The monsters that were tightly gathered around were instantly bounced off.

But even so, they only gained a momentary breathing room.

Under the impact of the alternating demonic forces, the talisman could be torn apart at any time.

Shen Wanqing sheathed her sword and rushed to Feng Yaoqing’s side. She squatted down to examine Ji Feichen’s injuries and said: “The barrier won’t hold up for long. We need to leave as soon as possible. Sister Feng, do you have an antidote to the poisonous vine toxin that can be used to neutralize it?”

Feng Yaoqing’s eyes reddened slightly, but she responded quickly by helping Ji Feichen up: “You give him some spirit energy to slow down the toxin’s invasion, and I have two spirit-replenishing pills from the Xuantian Pavilion. However, they need to be taken with the venomous vine’s pointed leaf.”

Shen Wanqing turned her head to look at the venomous vine behind her and stood up: “I’ll give it a try.”

“No, let me do it. You take care of…”

“Among us, only you, Sister Feng, have medical skills. You need to stay and take care of Brother Ji’s injuries.”

Feng Yaoqing looked at Ji Feichen in her arms, bit her lip, and nodded: “Please.”

Shen Wanqing actually had no confidence in her ability to do it.

This type of poison was difficult to neutralize, and the crucial thing was that not all poisonous vines had pointed leaf. They usually only grew on some highly defensive and strong poisonous vines.

She glanced around, and among so many vines, the ones with pointed leaf were few and far between.

And there were only two spirit-replenishing pills.

So even if she was injured, as long as she retrieved the pointed leaf, she wouldn’t die.

Plants and trees are afraid of fire, although this vine is not afraid of ordinary fire, but if her blood is used as a lure, it can temporarily repel other monsters.

Shen Wanqing opened a gap in the golden light barrier.

The demons immediately sensed the movement and rushed to enter.

A talisman emerged from the gap and instantly ignited a wall of fire, forcing the group of monsters several meters away.

It’s time.

She located the poisonous vine with pointed leaf and jumped up.

But the vines with higher cultivation reacted quickly, quickly branching out into a net and rushing towards her.

A huge shadow loomed over her.

“Believe in your sword energy.”

Xie Wuyan’s voice.

Shen Wanqing was slightly stunned, pausing for a moment.

“Don’t get distracted.”

“You just need to locate the position of the pointed leaf and use your spiritual power to determine that area.”

His voice was very close, as if right next to her.

Shen Wanqing snapped out of her thoughts.

Xie Wuyan was teaching her, “You have to trust the power you possess. You will be fine.”

Shen Wanqing closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and chose to believe Xie Wuyan’s words.

She accurately located the position of the pointed leaf through the intertwined vines and tightly grasped the hilt of her sword.

Her spiritual power converged into sword energy, and in an instant, broke through the obstruction of the vines, creating a conical protective shield.

The pointed leaf were within reach.

Shen Wanqing cut them off, grabbed them, and put them back into her waist pouch.

However, as soon as she turned around, the vines quickly turned their heads and attacked her chest at an unavoidable speed.

“Bang一”

A black figure appeared in front of her, and Xie Wuyan lifted his hand to tear apart the vines, while the other hand held Shen Wanqing’s waist, holding her tightly in his arms.

As the sky broke and dawn approached, Xie Wuyan said: “You will be fine. I told you.”

Shen Wanqing was moved: “You’re very strong and cool, but your arm is bleeding and you’re poisoned.”

Xie Wuyan: ? If you can’t speak, then shut up.

The two returned to the golden light barrier.

Although it was not yet fully bright, the full moon night had passed, and Xie Wuyan’s seal had also weakened.

Unless Heavenly Dao Palace wanted to completely tear its face, there should not be too much trouble.

Shen Wanqing handed the pointed leaf to Feng Yaoqing.

Feng Yaoqing breathed a sigh of relief, pushed the pointed leaf to continue the fusion of the elixir, and then handed one of them to Shen Wanqing: “Quickly give it to Xie Gongzi to take.”

Before Shen Wanqing could take it, a woman covered in blood rushed over and threw herself at Feng Yaoqing, grabbing onto her trousers and pointing to a man nearby with red eyes: “My husband is dying! Immortal, please save him!”

Shen Wanqing followed the woman’s finger and saw the man’s pale face and a terrifying wound on his arm, likely caused by poisonous vines. The poison had already entered his body, and half of his skin was turning purple.

There were only two doses of the antidote, but three people were injured.

Without hesitation, Shen Wanqing took the antidote from Feng Yaoqing and immediately put it into Xie Wuyan’s mouth.

Xie Wuyan didn’t move, he drooped his eyelids and looked at her, the antidote was just resting between his teeth.

Shen Wanqing: “Take it.”

Xie Wuyan glanced at Feng Yaoqing and Ji Feichen before returning his gaze to Shen Wanqing’s face, raising his eyebrows slightly as if asking a question.

Shen Wanqing’s voice was flat: “Why are you raising your eyebrows? I told you to take the medicine.”

Xie Wuyan: …

He really doesn’t know how to speak.
