Chapter 745 - A Monk Wants To Go Against The Heaven (2/2)
——
“Still not?”
“Still not…”
In the Immortal One Area, outside the poison containment array, several cultivators with white hair but young faces looked at each other and could not help but sigh.
The poison of the Fallen Immortal was really difficult to deal with. It had been three days since the first case of poisoning. One of the poisoned people was unable to be rescued, and instead, many of the cultivators that tried to remove the poison were accidentally poisoned and had to be sealed in the white jade coffin to wait for their death.
Yes, wait for death. At this stage of the development of the situation, no rational person would feel that this kind of poison could really be solved by existing means.
There were already too many people who fell into the sand in front of this strange poison. The leaders of the Five Uniques, Earth Immortal Luo Xue who was expert in poison removal… Even when these people gathered together and brainstormed, they still couldn’t come up with an effective treatment method.
At present, all that they could do was to seal the poisoned people to prevent the poison from spreading madly. The people lying in the white jade coffins looked like corpses to others. And those cultivators who guarded the poison containment array were the same as tomb guardians.
The speed of the rotation of the tomb guardians was very fast, they changed s.h.i.+fts every two hours, with two people in each s.h.i.+ft. The main reason was that, previously, there was an inexplicable poisoning of the tomb guardian before, so the effect of the white jade coffin and the poison containment array began to be questioned. After many negotiations and compromises, a s.h.i.+ft system was established—although the number of poisoned people continued to increase, in theory, there should be no risk of poisoning in just two hours.
However, of course, this kind of work was not what everyone wanted to do. Whenever they were forced to take the s.h.i.+ft, they would be full of complaints.
“Tell me again, why do we have to guard these corpses? It’s just giving people bad luck! These white jade coffins and the poison containment array are not reliable at all! Fairy Bi Liu of Graceful Water Manor was alive and well, but she was inexplicably poisoned beside the white jade coffin. I think it’s better to destroy these coffins as soon as possible.”
“Destroy? I hate to break it to you, but there are three Successor Disciples of Spirit Sword Sect that lie in the middle of this poison containment array. If you dare speak to Daoist Master Feng Yin about this, be careful of being cut by him.”
“Tsk, what’s wrong with Spirit Sword Sect? Are their successor disciples not dead? Could those lie in the white jade coffins resurrect themselves? Life and death are ruled by fate, even if Daoist Master Feng Yin chops me, his disciples would not come back… Be reasonable!”
“Be reasonable? Hehehe, Daoist Master Feng Yin has a good temper, maybe he can reason with you. But when Daoist Master w.a.n.g Lu appears, see if he’s willing to reason with you!”
“w.a.n.g Lu… What’s the matter with him? Would I be afraid of a mere Jindan?… Even If I am not his match, I can still run away! Moreover, right now, in the current situation, even the help from the Earth Immortals is of no use, what can he do? If he has the ability to remove the poison, I will immediately go to kneel at the foot of Spirit Sword Mountain for ten years!”
“Brother, I advise you not to talk too much… This is not to despise you, but things related to Daoist Master w.a.n.g Lu often resulted in unexpected ways. If you think he can’t do it, he will do it just to show you he can. Now the situation in the City of Immortals is so urgent, but he never shows up. I’m afraid that as soon as he comes back, he will turn the world upside down.”
“F*ck, if he’s going to make a big difference when he comes back, why doesn’t he come back earlier? I think he probably won’t come back! Four Element Supreme seems to do as he pleases in his action, but he actually follows a rule. There are four successor disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect and three are lying behind us. Why do you think w.a.n.g Lu can stay out of it?”
“… Believe it or not, when you go to Spirit Sword Mountain to kneel, don’t say that I didn’t remind you.”
——
“You mean to say that… this is not a poison?”
In the whirlpool of stars, w.a.n.g Lu asked the voice in his mind.
“Regardless whether it’s a poison or not, for the moment, it doesn’t matter. Why are you here?”
“… Because I’m always with the holy light. My dear master, I have actually been with you all these years, have you forgotten it?”
The voice in his mind was a bit funny and somewhat resentful.
Of course, w.a.n.g Lu didn’t forget. At that time, were it not because of Faceless using holy light to bind Non-Phase Method and Primal Chaos Skybreaker Sword, it wouldn’t have been easy for his golden core to perfectly form… At present, everyone knew that w.a.n.g Lu used two great cultivation methods as his foundation. One was offensive and the other was defensive. However, they didn’t know that his golden core actually contained three Main Paths. Non-Phase Method, Primal Chaos Skybreaker Sword, as well as the Sea of Holy Light.
It was just that w.a.n.g Lu had no interest in the Sea of Holy Light. From the beginning, the Holy Light was always used as a kind of glue, so its sense of existence was not strong. When w.a.n.g Lu reached the Yuanying Stage, the colorful Yuanying could be perfectly compatible with multiple Main Paths, so the existence of the Holy Light became somewhat redundant. Nevertheless, it was still the strongest Main Path in the Western Continent, so there was no harm in keeping it.
w.a.n.g Lu was not surprised that, as the agent of Holy Light Religion in Nine Regions, Faceless would always be by his side—like he said, w.a.n.g Lu was the real source of Holy Light in Nine Regions.
He just wondered why Faceless would suddenly appear? For a long time, Faceless had perfectly played the role of an insignificant transparent character. He did not interfere with w.a.n.g Lu’s life at all. Even when w.a.n.g Lu encountered danger, he ignored it. Thus, coming out at this moment was really strange.
“It’s nothing. It’s just that I saw something familiar, so I can’t help but be deeply moved, that’s all.” Faceless said as if he wanted to arouse people’s curiosity and then stopped talking.
However, with the hint of this sentence, w.a.n.g Lu could certainly guess the truth.
“The thing that you felt familiar is certainly the Holy Light. And you said that this strange poison is non-poison, is it a kind of Holy Light? Or rather a psychotropic drug? That’s what you guys used when you groomed Holy Light fanatics right?”
Faceless let out a smile in w.a.n.g Lu’s mind and said, “You are wrong…”
“What we used is a bit more advanced than that.”
