Swish!

An elder, dressed in Miao attire and holding a silver snake-head cane, flew out from the wooden house and stood in front of it.

"Who dares to intrude upon the cultivation grounds of this Gu King?"

The elder's eyes held a sinister gleam as he shouted loudly.

"It truly is the Black Poison Gu King."

Qin Yang's eyes lit up, as everyone present had seen photos of the Black Poison Gu King, thus recognizing him immediately.

The Black Poison Gu King's sinister gaze swept across the crowd, finally resting on Yun Luo.

"Saintess, I didn't expect you to come as well."

The Black Poison Gu King's voice was eerie.

"Saintess?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Yun Luo, amazed that she was actually the Saintess of the Black Miao Race, the second most significant position after the Gu King.

"Black Poison Elder, how dare you kill the Gu King's grandmother."

Yun Luo reprimanded coldly.

"Haha, she couldn't match my skills yet occupied the Gu King's position for so many years. Dead is just dead."

The Black Poison Gu King sneered without any remorse.

"If it weren't for your sneak attack, how could the Gu King's grandmother have lost to you?" Yun Luo's clear eyes were full of anger.

"Haha, her strength relied merely on the Seven-Colored Illusionary Moth, the inheritance of previous Gu Kings. In terms of the skills of a Gu Master, I am stronger than her."

The Black Poison Gu King sneered, a hint of pride in his words, revealing his confidence in his Gu skills.

"You must be from the Huaxia Special Security Department, tsk tsk, that old woman, as the Gu King of my Black Miao Race, joined the government department as an Honored Guest Elder, bringing shame to my race."

The Black Poison Gu King glanced at Thunder God and the others, mocking them.

"Black Poison Gu King, why did you kill the people of those three villages?"

Thunder God glared at the Black Poison Gu King, shouting angrily.

"Killed them?"

The Black Poison Gu King raised his eyebrows.

"Ke ke, you're mistaken. I didn't kill them; I was helping them achieve immortality."

The Black Poison Gu King's eyes flashed with black qi, suddenly laughing triumphantly.

"It's indeed this old ghost who did it!"

Upon hearing the Black Poison Gu King's words, everyone's faces turned cold, having killed over a thousand people and claiming to help them achieve immortality.

"Captain, no need to talk nonsense with him. Since it's certain that the villagers of those three villages were killed by him, let's just kill him."

Murong Xuan said coldly, the wretched appearance he now had was due to this Black Poison Gu King. Given his young age and being a Celestial Tier expert, his anger was considerable.

Swish!

At Murong Xuan's words, his silhouette flashed, unfolding the Ancient Black Iron Fan in his hand, with its sharp edge aiming for the Black Poison Gu King's throat.

"Hmph, foolhardy."

The Black Poison Gu King snorted coldly, not moving at all.

Shush shush!

A poisonous snake, covered with bizarre, fiery red patterns, darted out from the Black Poison Gu King's Miao attire sleeve, swiftly coiling around the silver snake-head cane.

The fiery red snake had triangular pupils, its cold snake eyes indicating it was extremely venomous.

Whoosh~!

When Murong Xuan's figure was within two zhang of the Black Poison Gu King, the fiery red snake opened its mouth, spraying a cloud of red poisonous mist.

Swish!

Murong Xuan, seeing the situation, changed his expression drastically, quickly executing the Breath-holding Skill, his toes stamping the ground as his figure shot backward.

"Damn it."

Murong Xuan's face turned cold, glaring at the Black Poison Gu King. Since the earlier attack had no effect, he could only try a ranged attack, as close combat seemed futile against this old ghost.

"Shattered Gold Finger."

Murong Xuan pressed his fingers together, brilliant golden light gathering at his fingertips.

"A mere Ancient Martial Artist in the early stage of Celestial Tier dares to act wildly before this Gu King."

The Black Poison Gu King sneered, not taking the impending fierce blow seriously at all.

The next moment, Murong Xuan's face changed; the golden light at his fingertips scattered, his handsome face turned red, quickly becoming a burning scarlet rot. Not only his face, but exposed parts like his neck, ears, and hands also became scarlet.

"Ah! It's hot. So hot!"

Murong Xuan's face turned extremely displeased. The burning sensation was not just on the surface of his skin; his internal organs felt as if engulfed in a furnace.

"How is this possible? I clearly didn't inhale that poisonous mist just now?!"

Mingled with confusion, Murong Xuan's eyes shone, despite having deployed the Breath-holding Skill, not inhaling even a breath of the toxic mist.

"Laughable. Do you think holding your breath can avoid the poisonous mist? The toxicity of the Gu item can spread through skin and clothing. As long as your body contacts it, even without breathing, you'll be poisoned."

The Black Poison Gu King sneered mockingly.

Upon hearing this, besides Qin Yang and Yun Luo, Thunder God and Jiang Huo'Er's expressions changed.

"Die, youngling."

The Black Poison Gu King sneered.

Swish!

As the Black Poison Gu King's words fell, the fiery red-patterned snake on the silver snake-head cane transformed into a swift arrow, exposing its sharp venomous fangs as it violently shot towards Murong Xuan.

This sudden attack had Thunder God, Jiang Huo'Er, and others disabling to react timely, not having time to lend a hand in rescue.

Whoosh!

Seeing this, Qin Yang's brow furrowed slightly, then he lifted his fingers, a Wind Blade swept forward, slicing at the fiery red-patterned snake.

Under the fierce Wind Blade, the fiery red-patterned snake was instantly cut in two, falling to the ground.

However, the snake with fiery red patterns didn't die; the two severed segments wriggled on the ground, quickly joining together, then flying back.

"These Gu items are truly fascinating."

Qin Yang's gaze condensed slightly, amazement within as the severed poisonous snake could rejoin itself.

Seeing that Qin Yang acted to save him earlier, a complex emotion flashed in Murong Xuan's eyes.

At this moment, Murong Xuan's face turned increasingly red, his inner power frantically circulating, suppressing the burning sensation, though to no avail.

The intense burning sensation made Murong Xuan's consciousness hazy; with a ripping sound, he tore his luxurious robes creating a gash.

"Ice Moth."

Yun Luo flipped her right hand, revealing an all-white translucent Ice Moth in her jade hand.

"Go!"

Yun Luo softly commanded, the Ice Moth spat silk, attaching to Murong Xuan, the silk retracting, flying towards him, landing on his neck.

The Ice Moth opened its tiny mouth, biting Murong Xuan's neck, the redness on his face quickly fading.

"Poison against poison."

Qin Yang thought silently, able to discern with his sharp eye, the Ice Moth injected a trace of ice poison into Murong Xuan's body, effectively countering the fire poison contained in the mist spewed by the fiery red snake.

After several breaths, Murong Xuan recuperated, looking at the Black Poison Gu King with a deep fear in his eyes.
