C253 (1/2)

The capital of the Cloud Dynasty

After leaving the Dan Feng Valley, Zhou Tong spent ten days before returning. Along the way, Zhou Tong had always been cautious, on guard against sneak attacks, but fortunately, no matter if it was the Violet Firmament Palace or the Dreamy Cloud Pavilion, they seemed to be more obedient, and did not see him come out to make trouble along the way.

However, when Zhou Tong rushed back to the imperial city, he immediately discovered that something was wrong. When he landed in the capital, he could see from afar that Jian Chenzi's residence had already been sealed off by a huge energy light screen. Outside the light screen, a serious look appeared on the faces of the disciples of the Mo Sect.

The black shadow approached from afar, in the next moment he was directly outside the light curtain. When the few management elders of the Mo Sect saw him, they wanted to stop him, but after seeing his appearance, they heaved a sigh of relief and clasped their hands to Zhou Tong, and stepped aside.

”Miss Xiao is also inside. Head You, quickly go take a look. Sir Jian Chen, he …” An elder quickly reported when he saw Zhou Tong.

Hearing that, the anxiety in Zhou Tong's eyes became even heavier, he nodded, and the Polaris Flame emerged from his body, immediately rushing into the light screen.

After entering the light curtain, a blood-colored aura that carried a fishy smell immediately pounced over. However, a 'chi chi' sound was emitted when it came into contact with the Polaris Flame and was grilled into nothingness by the high temperature.

Ignoring the blood mist that was swirling around him, Zhou Tong quickly passed through the courtyard. He stopped in his tracks, looked at Xiao Hanqing who was walking back and forth at the entrance, and asked: ”Han Qing, how is Old Brother Jianzhen?”

Hearing Zhou Tong's voice, Xiao Hanqing anxiously turned around, and then heaved a sigh of relief, pointing at the house she smiled bitterly: ”I don't know why, but today, an elder suddenly came to report, saying that there is a constant release of poisonous gas here, so I can only seal this place off, and that blood poison, seems to be even more terrifying than what we imagined.”

Zhou Tong's heart suddenly tensed up, a wave of uneasiness surged out, he took a deep breath and walked over, just as he was about to push open the door, Xiao Hanqing who was at the side saw the situation, hesitated for a moment and also stopped his hand that he wanted to stop, and immediately followed: ”Be careful, I will go with you.”

Zhou Tong was startled, but immediately nodded his head, Xiao Hanqing's cultivation was not inferior to her, with her there, maybe she would be of great help to him.

Xiao Yan's hand pushed open the door and the 'Polaris Flame' curled up. It wrapped around the two of them until their bodies were impervious to the wind. After which, they slowly walked into the room that was filled with the blood-colored poisonous fog.

In the room, his vision was severely obstructed, but with the help of the soft sounds of breathing, Zhou Tong was able to clearly locate Jian Chenzi's location.

Each time Zhou Tong and Yue Yang got closer, the surrounding poisonous miasma would ripple. Fortunately, with the protection of the Polaris Flame and the high temperature isolation, the poisonous miasma was not able to cause any harm.

After walking a dozen or so steps, a pure white bed appeared in front of them. At this moment, on top of the bed, Jian Chenzi was gently curling up under the bed, and the dense poison mist that permeated the room was still unceasingly surging out from his body.

Immediately, a pair of eyes that were filled with pain shot out from it. As he gazed at the black-robed, young man walking to the side of the bed, his soft voice contained a bitterness that was difficult to conceal: ”Honorable Mo Li has a lot of trouble … This blood poison is a little beyond my control.”

Hearing that, although Zhou Tong had already expected it, his face could not help but change, looking at the pain and paleness on Zhang Jue's face, he immediately sat down on the bed and comforted softly: ”Old Brother Jianzhen, relax, I am here, I have already brought the Cloud Breaking Barrier Pill back.”

It was not hard to imagine how terrifying the pain of the backlash from the blood poison was. Zhou Tong knew very well that the reason it had dragged on for so long was largely because of him.

”Can the Old Brother Jianzhen get up?” Zhou Tong blamed himself in his heart, and he did not dare delay any further, as he replied.

Hearing that, Jian Chenzi nodded his head with difficulty, using all his strength to support his body, he slowly sat up. And when Jian Chenzi sat up, Zhou Tong was finally able to see clearly just how terrible Jian Chenzi's situation was.

Jian Chenzi was not wearing any clothes on his body, and just by looking, one could see that the blood poison had already spread throughout Jian Chenzi's body, the blood vessels on his body had become all black, and through his skin, one could clearly see the countless black centipede-like blood vessels, one after another, rushing towards his heart, almost reaching his heart. Seeing this, Zhou Tong felt a lingering fear in his heart. Luckily Feng Xiu had refined the Cloud Breaking Barrier Pill ahead of time, otherwise, he would not be able to make it back in time.
