Chapter 548: Yanzhu city (1/2)

Tears started to flow from Ying Gui's eyes as he saw the city in the distance ahead of him, as he turned his head around and looked at Shun Long before he said with a face full of joy

''Young master Shun Long, that's Yanzhu city!''

Shun Long nodded his head with a calm look in his eyes, as he looked at the city that was slowly becoming bigger and bigger in front of his eyes.

He was originally planning to come to Yanzhu and complete the 'more difficult' mission of the 2 that he had accepted, which was to hunt down the 2 slave traders. However, in front of the problems that had showed up while he protected Ying Gui's caravan, taking care of 2 peak rank 5 Nascent Soul slave traders and destroying their shop seemed to be nothing in comparison.

As the 'Ironhide cows' approached closer and closer to Yanzhu city, Shun Long was thinking of how lucky he was that his plan had actually worked.

''If it wasn't the 'Red-furred bear' but some other peak rank 5 magic beast instead, especially one with strong mental defenses, it would have been impossible for the poison from the 'Soul Poisoning hell grass' to kill it. At most it would have managed to wound it severely.''

Indeed, the purple liquid that he had used against the 'Red-furred bear' was precisely the poison that he had concocted back in the 'City of Sin' using the 'Soul Poisoning hell grass'!

Although Shun Long knew that this poison couldn't kill any cultivators at the rank 9 of the Nascent Soul or above, he still knew that it could still severely injure them if they were affected by it directly.

As for a peak rank 5 magic beast like the 'Red-furred bear', Shun Long was lucky that although its physical strength was extremely strong and it could even kill peak fifth stage body refinement cultivators with just a few attacks, its mental defenses were extremely weak compared to other peak rank 5 magic beasts.

After Shun Long had destroyed its left eye, the bear's mental defenses were lowered even further because of the pain, which allowed the poison to immediately affect it and corrode its soul!

Otherwise, if it hadn't been injured by Shun Long's spatial blade first, there was no way for a peak rank 5 magic beast like the 'Red-furred bear' to die so easily, even after getting affected by the poison of the 'Soul poisoning hell grass'.

At the same time, Shun Long wondered whether the Elders of the sect would accept the mission or not. In the end, he had indeed used a poison to take care of the 'Red-furred bear', but it was poison that he had created himself, so it was definitely considered part of his real strength.

After all, the poison that poison masters concoct is also considered part of their own strength rather than outside help.

As he reached this conclusion, Shun Long realized that the carriage had nearly reached the gates of the city already. They were simply waiting along with the rest of the carriages to enter the city.

Ying Gui seemed to have felt much more relaxed at this moment almost as if he had suddenly gotten rid of a huge load of pressure that was weighing down on top of him, as he turned his gaze towards Shun Long and looked at him with a smile of relief on his face.

He then turned his gaze towards the medium-sized city in front of them and asked him curiously

''Young master Shun Long, is this your first time coming to Yanzhu city?''
