Chapter 2432: The Fiendish Realm's Strange Poison
dì liǎng qiān sì bǎi sān shí èr zhāng mó jiè qí dú
第两千四百三十二章魔界奇毒
This was the effect of a sneak attack. Otherwise, facing Lin Xuan directly, even if he could eventually win in the end, it wouldn't be as swift and decisive as now.
zhè jiù shì tōu xí de xiào guǒ ， fǒu zé ， zhèng miàn duì shàng lín xuān zuì hòu suī rán yě néng qǔ dé ， dàn nǎ néng rú xiàn zài zhè yàng yī zhāo zhì dí 。
这就是偷袭的效果，否则，正面对上林轩最后虽然也能取得，但哪能如现在这样一招制敌。
The face of the poison-faced cultivator still held an expression of disbelief. How could things have gone so wrong for him? Although his head was pierced through, he wasn’t about to fall; but his body had been rendered useless.
zhèn miàn xiū shì liǎn shàng hái dài zhe bù néng zhì xìn zhī sè ， zì jǐ zhè yīn gōu lǐ fān chuán yě fān dé tài mò míng qí miào le ， suī rán tóu lú bèi guàn chuān ， bù zhì yú yǔn luò ， dàn ròu shēn què shì bào fèi diào le 。
鸩面修士脸上还带着不能置信之色，自己这阴沟里翻船也翻得太莫名其妙了，虽然头颅被贯穿，不至于陨落，但肉身却是报废掉了。
Damn!
kě wù ！
可恶！
However, while anger raged within, there was nothing that could be done at this point. What use would it serve to vent one's fury? The pressing matter now was how to extricate himself from the situation.
rán ér nù guī nù ， kě shì yǐ zhì cǐ ， fā huǒ yòu yǒu shén me yòng chǔ ne ， dāng wù zhī jí ， rú hé tuō shēn cái shì zuì zhòng yào dì 。
然而怒归怒，可事已至此，发火又有什么用处呢，当务之急，如何脱身才是最重要地。
With a loud "bang," his mangled body automatically exploded open, and a dazzling yellow light shot out, flying over a hundred feet away in an instant. Inside was a baby that resembled the poison-faced cultivator.
“ pēng ” de yī shēng ， cán qū jiù zì dòng bào kāi ， yī tuán cì mù huáng máng cóng zhōng fēi lüè chū lái ， shùn jiān jiù jī shè chū bǎi yú zhàng zhī yuǎn ， lǐ miàn yǒu yí gè hé zhèn miàn xiū shì xiāng sì de yīng ér yǐn cáng zài qí jiān 。
“嘭”的一声，残躯就自动爆开，一团刺目黄芒从中飞掠出来，瞬间就激射出百余丈之远，里面有一个和鸩面修士相似的婴儿隐藏在其间。
The entire incident happened too suddenly. The formidable enemy who had just been causing him headaches had turned into a fleeing dog. The silver-eyed maiden was taken aback and stood rooted to her spot on the ground.
zhěng jiàn shì qíng fā shēng dé tài guò tū rán ， qián yī kè hái lìng rén tóu téng de qiáng dí tū rán jiù biàn chéng le sàng jiā quǎn ， yín tóng shào nǚ è rán bù yǐ ， zhí jiē lèng zài le yuán dì 。
整件事情发生得太过突然，前一刻还令人头疼的强敌突然就变成了丧家犬，银瞳少女愕然不已，直接愣在了原地。
However, even as the infant spirit tried to escape, it found no way out because Lin Xuan wasn't about to dawdle. While using the Black Spirit Drilling technique for an ambush, he had already prepared a countermeasure. A flash of light revealed a green hand, its surface wrapped in electric arcs, with talismanic runes appearing on its skin.
rán ér nà yuán yīng xiǎng yào táo zǒu yī jiù shì sī háo jī huì yě wú ， yīn wèi yī páng de lín xuān kě bù huì fā dāi 。
然而那元婴想要逃走依旧是丝毫机会也无，因为一旁的林轩可不会发呆。
As soon as this hand materialized, it spread out five fingers and struck downward, sending a force unimaginable to the eye towards the opponent like a mountain crushing a person.
zài yòng mò líng zuān tōu xí de tóng shí ， lín xuān zǎo yǐ zài zhǔn bèi hòu shǒu ， zhǐ jiàn líng guāng yī shǎn ， yī zhī qīng sè jù shǒu shǎn xiàn ， biǎo miàn hái chán rào zhe diàn hú ， tóng shí yǒu fú wén zài qí jī fū biǎo miàn fú xiàn ér chū 。
在用墨灵钻偷袭的同时，林轩早已在准备后手，只见灵光一闪，一只青色巨手闪现，表面还缠绕着电弧，同时有符文在其肌肤表面浮现而出。
The surrounding air paused.
cǐ shǒu xiàn xíng yǐ hòu ， lì kè wǔ zhǐ zhāng kāi ， xiàng xià yī pāi ， dùn shí ， yī gǔ nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng de jù lì ， rú tài shān yā dǐng yì bān ， hěn hěn cháo zhe duì fāng lǒng zhào guò lái 。
此手现形以后，立刻五指张开，向下一拍，顿时，一股难以想象的巨力，如泰山压顶一般，狠狠朝着对方笼罩过来。
The infant spirit was alarmed. If he ignored the attack, he would be flattened into pulp. His escape light slowed down as he raised his head, spewing out a square-shaped treasure from his mouth. After leaving his mouth, it quickly transformed into the size of a pavilion, and the creaking sound entered his ears, successfully blocking that terrifying force.
zhōu wéi de kōng qì yī zhì 。
周围的空气一滞。
"Phew!"
nà yuán yīng dà jīng ， ruò shì bù guǎn duì fāng de gōng jī ， zì jǐ huì bèi pāi chéng ròu ní ， tā de dùn guāng zhǐ néng yī huǎn ， yáng qǐ tóu ， cóng zuǐ bā lǐ pēn chū yī sì sì fāng fāng de bǎo wù ， lí kǒu yǐ hòu ， xùn sù biàn chéng gé lóu dà xiǎo ， gē zhī gē zhī de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， dào dǐ jiāng nà kě pà de jù lì dǎng zhù 。
那元婴大惊，若是不管对方的攻击，自己会被拍成肉泥，他的遁光只能一缓，扬起头，从嘴巴里喷出一四四方方的宝物，离口以后，迅速变成阁楼大小，咯吱咯吱的声音传入耳朵，到底将那可怕的巨力挡住。
The infant spirit breathed a sigh of relief, but soon his face turned pale again. Lin Xuan’s move was nothing more than a feint to create an opening. With this gap, he had already used Nine Heavens Microstep and arrived before him.
“ hū ！”
“呼！”
The infant spirit was shocked, looking at the green-robed youth who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Although the other's appearance was unremarkable, his aura revealed that of a cultivator in the Spirit Formation stage—a formidable presence.
yuán yīng sōng le kǒu qì ， dàn hěn kuài ， liǎn sè yòu biàn dé cǎn bái ， lín xuān cǐ jǔ ， gēn běn jiù shì shēng dōng jī xī ， yǒu le zhè kòng xì ， yǐ shī zhǎn jiǔ tiān wēi bù ， lái dào tā de miàn qián 。
元婴松了口气，但很快，脸色又变得惨白，林轩此举，根本就是声东击西，有了这空隙，已施展九天微步，来到他的面前。
That was precisely who had launched the ambush!
yuán yīng dà jīng ， kàn zhe zhè mò míng chū xiàn de qīng páo shào nián ， duì fāng de róng mào suī rán píng fán yǐ jí ， rán ér shēn shàng què sàn fà chū fēn shén qī xiū shì cái yǒu de qiáng dà qì xī 。
元婴大惊，看着这莫名出现的青袍少年，对方的容貌虽然平凡以极，然而身上却散发出分神期修士才有的强大气息。
The infant spirit wished to tear Lin Xuan limb from limb but was helpless now as he was bullied by a dog when he should have been a tiger. Lin Xuan grabbed him effortlessly.
gāng gāng jiù shì tā chū shǒu tōu xí ！
刚刚就是他出手偷袭！
Damn it!
yuán yīng xīn zhōng ， hèn bù dé jiāng lín xuān chōu jīn bā pí ， kě xī rú jīn què shì hǔ luò píng yáng bèi quǎn qī ， lín xuān yī bǎ jiù jiāng tā zhuā zài le shǒu lǐ 。
元婴心中，恨不得将林轩抽筋扒皮，可惜如今却是虎落平阳被犬欺，林轩一把就将他抓在了手里。
Of course, the infant spirit wouldn’t submit without a fight. Black and red light flashed across his body as he tried to engage in combat with Lin Xuan.
kě wù ！
可恶！
Lin Xuan frowned but let out an expression of disdain: "A fellow who doesn't shed tears until seeing a coffin."
yuán yīng zì rán bù kěn shù shǒu jiù fù ， hún shēn yǒu hēi hóng sè de guāng máng shǎn guò ， xiǎng yào yǔ lín xuān pīn le 。
元婴自然不肯束手就缚，浑身有黑红色的光芒闪过，想要与林轩拼了。
Blue light flared up in his palm, freezing the other merely by using a fraction of the Illusory Heaven Fire's power. After all, he was only an infant spirit body and had little resistance.
lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu ， zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī bù xiè de xiào róng ：“ zhēn shì bù jiàn guān cái bù luò lèi de jiā huo 。”
林轩眉头一皱，嘴角边露出一丝不屑的笑容：“真是不见棺材不落泪的家伙。”
A thin layer of ice appeared, enough to bind him.
zhǎng xīn zhōng lán máng yì qǐ ， zhǐ shì lüè wēi shǐ yòng le yì diǎn huàn líng tiān huǒ de wēi lì ， duì fāng jiù bèi dòng zhù ， bì jìng tā rú jīn zhǐ shì yuán yīng zhī tǐ ， zì rán méi yǒu duō shǎo fǎn kàng zhī lì 。
掌心中蓝芒一起，只是略微使用了一点幻灵天火的威力，对方就被冻住，毕竟他如今只是元婴之体，自然没有多少反抗之力。
Lin Xuan’s face showed satisfaction as he casually took out an jade box and put him inside.
yī céng hán bīng fú xiàn ér chū ， hěn báo ， dàn zú yǐ jiāng tā jìn gù 。
一层寒冰浮现而出，很薄，但足以将他禁锢。
"You… You are Lin Xuan?"
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè ， suí shǒu qǔ chū yí gè yù hé ， jiāng tā zhuāng jìn qù le 。
林轩脸上露出满意之色，随手取出一个玉盒，将他装进去了。
The silver-eyed maiden finally reacted, her expression filled with shock. A great cultivator at the Spirit Formation stage中期 was stuttering now.
“ nǐ …… nǐ shì lín xuān ？”
“你……你是林轩？”
"Noted, Senior Sister, how have you been?"
zhè shí hòu ， nà yín tóng shào nǚ zǒng suàn fǎn yìng guò lái ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng mǎn shì jīng hài ， táng táng fēn shén zhōng qī de dà néng xiū xiān zhě ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， què lián shuō huà yě yǒu xiē jiē ba le 。
这时候，那银瞳少女总算反应过来，脸上的表情满是惊骇，堂堂分神中期的大能修仙者，此时此刻，却连说话也有些结巴了。
Lin Xuan scratched his head, unsure of what to say. His former uncle had suddenly become a peer. However, this was normal in the cultivation world where seniority is determined by strength.
“ bù cuò ， shī jiě bié lái wú yàng ？”
“不错，师姐别来无恙？”
"Are you really Lin Xuan?"
lín xuān náo le náo tóu ， yī shí yě bù zhī dào gāi zěn me shuō ， yuán běn de shī shū ， zhuǎn yǎn què shì píng bèi lùn jiāo le ， bù guò zhè yě zhèng cháng ， xiū xiān jiè dá zhě wèi xiān ， bèi fēn běn lái jiù shì yǐ shí lì lái què dìng de 。
林轩挠了挠头，一时也不知道该怎么说，原本的师叔，转眼却是平辈论交了，不过这也正常，修仙界达者为先，辈分本来就是以实力来确定的。
"Why are you here? Didn't you go to the Fiendish Realm for your Spirit Formation trial?"
“ nǐ zhēn shì lín xuān ？”
“你真是林轩？”
"How did you progress so much in just over a hundred years?"
“ nǐ zěn me huì zài cǐ chù ， nǐ bú shì cān jiā fēn shén shì liàn ， qù mó jiè le ？”
“你怎么会在此处，你不是参加分神试炼，去魔界了？”
A series of questions bombarded his ears, and Lin Xuan didn’t know how to respond. In such a short time, he had experienced too many things; it was impossible to explain everything in a moment.
“ hái yǒu nǐ de xiū wèi ， cái duǎn duǎn de yì bǎi duō nián ， zěn me kě néng jìn zhǎn dào zhè bān ？”
“还有你的修为，才短短的一百多年，怎么可能进展到这般？”
He sighed: "Senior Sister, I can tell you more when we have some free time. The current crisis for our sect has not been resolved yet, and Dragon Senior Brother’s fate is still unknown..."
cǐ nǚ lián zhū jià bān de wèn tí chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān yī shí yě bù zhī dào gāi zěn me shuō ， zhè duǎn duǎn de bǎi yú zài ， zì jǐ jīng lì le tài duō tài duō ， yī shí piàn kè ， zěn me kě néng jiě shì qīng chǔ 。
此女连珠价般的问题传入耳朵，林轩一时也不知道该怎么说，这短短的百余载，自己经历了太多太多，一时片刻，怎么可能解释清楚。
"Indeed!"
tā tàn le kǒu qì ：“ shī jiě ， yǐ hòu xián xiá zhī yú ， wǒ kě yǐ màn màn gào sù nǐ ， rú jīn běn mén de wēi jī shàng wèi jiě chú ， lóng shī xiōng yě shì shēng sǐ bù zhī ……”
他叹了口气：“师姐，以后闲暇之余，我可以慢慢告诉你，如今本门的危机尚未解除，龙师兄也是生死不知……”
The silver-eyed maiden was a cultivator at the Spirit Formation stage. She had just been too shocked to react properly. After Lin Xuan reminded her, she quickly came to her senses.
“ bù cuò ！”
“不错！”
There were priorities in this situation. The most pressing task now should be dealing with external threats.
cǐ nǚ dào dǐ shì fēn shén qī de dà néng xiū xiān zhě ， gāng gāng zhǐ bù guò tài guò jīng è ， cǐ kè jīng lín xuān lüè yī tí xǐng ， dùn shí fǎn yìng guò lái le 。
此女到底是分神期的大能修仙者，刚刚只不过太过惊愕，此刻经林轩略一提醒，顿时反应过来了。
"We need to deal with our enemies first."
shì yǒu qīng zhòng huǎn jí ， rú jīn zuì jǐn pò de rèn wù ， yīng gāi shì jiě chú běn mén de wēi jī 。
事有轻重缓急，如今最紧迫的任务，应该是解除本门的危机。
"But Dragon Senior Brother..."
“ zǒu ， wǒ men xiān qù duì fù wài dí 。”
“走，我们先去对付外敌。”
Lin Xuan glanced at the unconscious white-haired man still on the ground.
“ kě lóng shī xiōng ……”
“可龙师兄……”
"Don’t worry. Dragon Junior Brother is merely poisoned and won't have any immediate danger for a while. He’s protected by the Clear Stream Shield, and the Spirit Formation cultivators of the Heaven Extinction Sect were all eliminated by you. The remaining invaders can no longer harm him," the silver-eyed maiden said calmly as she swept her gaze over the area.
lín xuān kàn le yī yǎn hái hūn mí zài dì de bái fà nán zi 。
林轩看了一眼还昏迷在地的白发男子。
"Oh!"
“ bù yòng dān xīn ， lóng shī dì zhǐ shì zhòng dú ， yī shí piàn kè ， shàng bú huì yǒu xìng mìng zhī yōu ， ér tā yǒu míng xī dùn shǒu hù ， tiān jué mén de fēn shén qī xiū shì yòu bèi nǐ miè chú ， rú jīn qīn rù zǒng duò de dí rén ， yǐ méi yǒu shuí néng gòu shāng hài dào tā le 。” yín tóng shào nǚ mù guāng sǎo guò ， píng jìng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
“不用担心，龙师弟只是中毒，一时片刻，尚不会有性命之忧，而他有明溪盾守护，天绝门的分神期修士又被你灭除，如今侵入总舵的敌人，已没有谁能够伤害到他了。”银瞳少女目光扫过，平静的声音传入耳朵。
Lin Xuan nodded and didn’t say more. After a brief discussion with the silver-eyed maiden, they split up to face their enemies.
lín xuān diǎn diǎn tóu ， bù zài duō shuō ， yǔ yín tóng shào nǚ lüè yī shāng yì ， biàn fēn tóu yù dí 。
林轩点点头，不再多说，与银瞳少女略一商议，便分头御敌。
An hour later.
……
……
Clear Stream Illusion Realm, the silver-eyed maiden’s abode.
yí gè shí chén hòu 。
一个时辰后。
This was one of the most important forbidden areas in Cloud Concealment Sect, where the Supreme Elder practiced. Without an invitation, even the heads of the five major sects couldn’t enter this place擅自。
míng xī huàn jìng ， yín tóng shào nǚ de dòng fǔ 。
明溪幻境，银瞳少女的洞府。
Lin Xuan had now advanced to the Spirit Formation stage and would become a Supreme Elder soon. Therefore, he could freely enter.
zhè lǐ shì yún yǐn zōng zuì zhòng yào de jìn dì ， tài shàng zhǎng lǎo de xiū liàn zhī suǒ ， wèi dé chuán huàn ， biàn shì wǔ mài zhī zhǔ ， yě bù néng shàn rù cǐ dì de 。
这里是云隐宗最重要的禁地，太上长老的修炼之所，未得传唤，便是五脉之主，也不能擅入此地的。
With the senior cultivator from Heaven Extinction Sect eliminated, the remaining invaders posed no threat. Lin Xuan and the silver-eyed maiden dealt with them easily.
bù guò lín xuān rú jīn yǐ jìn jiē dào le fēn shén qī ， chéng wéi tài shàng zhǎng lǎo shì bǎn shàng dìng dīng dì ， zì rán kě yǐ chū rù cǐ dì 。
不过林轩如今已进阶到了分神期，成为太上长老是板上钉钉地，自然可以出入此地。
The Dragon-named youth remained unconscious, showing no signs of distress on the surface. However, when Lin Xuan used his Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye, he discovered a faint black aura at his brow.
tiān jué mén de fēn shén qī lǎo guài jì bèi miè chú ， qí yú de rù qīn zhě ， zì rán jiù bù zú wèi jù ， lín xuān yǔ yín tóng shào nǚ fēn tóu yù dí ， hěn qīng sōng jiù jiāng zhè xiē jiā huo miè shā dài jìn 。
天绝门的分神期老怪既被灭除，其余的入侵者，自然就不足为惧，林轩与银瞳少女分头御敌，很轻松就将这些家伙灭杀殆尽。
This black aura was peculiar, shaped like a tiny skull.
lóng xìng shào nián yī jiù hūn mí bù xǐng ， biǎo miàn shàng kàn bù chū rèn hé bù tuǒ ， rán ér lín xuān shī zhǎn chū tiān fèng shén mù ， què fā xiàn qí méi yǔ zhī chù ， yǒu yī tuán dàn dàn de hēi qì 。
龙姓少年依旧昏迷不醒，表面上看不出任何不妥，然而林轩施展出天凤神目，却发现其眉宇之处，有一团淡淡的黑气。
"Devil's Bone Poison!"
nà hēi qì gǔ guài yǐ jí ， jìng chéng xiàn chū yī mí nǐ de kū lóu tóu xíng zhuàng 。
那黑气古怪以极，竟呈现出一迷你的骷髅头形状。
Lin Xuan’s surprised voice echoed.
“ xiū luó gǔ dú ！”
“修罗骨毒！”
"What is Devil's Bone Poison?"
lín xuān yà rán de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
林轩讶然的声音传入耳朵。
The silver-eyed maiden’s face lit up with joy. With her extensive knowledge, she only knew that Dragon Junior Brother had been poisoned but couldn’t identify the exact poison. She tried several methods to remove it without success.
“ xiū luó gǔ dú ， nà shì shén me ？”
“修罗骨毒，那是什么？”
"This poison isn't from the Spirit Realm; it's a strange poison from the Fiendish Realm. No wonder you didn't recognize it," Lin Xuan sighed. If he hadn’t spent over a hundred years in the Fiendish Realm during this Spirit Formation trial, he would have been equally confused.
yín tóng shào nǚ liǎn shàng liú lù chū dà xǐ zhī sè ， yǐ tā jiàn shí guǎng bó ， yě zhǐ kàn chū lóng shī dì shì zhōng le dú ， rán ér jù tǐ shì shén me dú ， què rèn bù chū lái le ， yī lián shǐ yòng le shù zhǒng fāng fǎ xiǎng yào bá chú ， dōu méi yǒu yòng chǔ 。
银瞳少女脸上流露出大喜之色，以她见识广博，也只看出龙师弟是中了毒，然而具体是什么毒，却认不出来了，一连使用了数种方法想要拔除，都没有用处。
"Junior Brother, if you know how to treat it, can you find a way?" the silver-eyed maiden said happily.
“ cǐ dú fēi líng jiè zhī wù ， ér shì mó jiè de yī zhǒng qí dú ， nán guài shī jiě nǐ huì bù rèn de 。” lín xuān tàn le yì kǒu qì de shuō ， ruò bú shì zhè cì fēn shén shì liàn ， ràng tā zài mó jiè dài le bǎi yú nián ， lín xuān tóng yàng huì yī tóu wù shuǐ lái zhe 。
“此毒非灵界之物，而是魔界的一种奇毒，难怪师姐妳会不认得。”林轩叹了一口气的说，若不是这次分神试炼，让他在魔界待了百余年，林轩同样会一头雾水来着。
"I’ll give it a try."
“ shī dì jì rán rèn de ， nà kě yǒu bàn fǎ jiě me ？” yín tóng shào nǚ huān xǐ de shuō 。
“师弟既然认得，那可有办法解么？”银瞳少女欢喜的说。
Lin Xuan didn't provide an affirmative answer. After all, he had only seen such poison in Fiendish Realm texts and hadn’t personally encountered it before, so he couldn’t be too confident.
“ wǒ shì shì 。”
“我试试。”
"Then I'll trouble you."
lín xuān bìng méi yǒu jǐ yǔ kěn dìng dá fù ， bì jìng zhè zhǒng dú ， tā yě zhǐ shì zài mó jiè de diǎn jí shàng jiàn guò ， qīn shēn yù jiàn ， hái shì dì yī cì ， zì rán bù gǎn jiāng huà shuō dé tài mǎn 。
林轩并没有给与肯定答复，毕竟这种毒，他也只是在魔界的典籍上见过，亲身遇见，还是第一次，自然不敢将话说得太满。
"It's my duty."
“ nà jiù yǒu láo shī dì le 。”
“那就有劳师弟了。”
Without saying more, Lin Xuan flicked his sleeve and a jade bottle flew out. He uncorked the bottle and took out two black pills. These were treasures from Snowflake Saint Ancestor, but they only provided relief for Devil’s Bone Poison and couldn’t completely remove it.
“ yīng gāi de 。”
“应该的。”
Lin Xuan fed the Dragon-named youth the spirit pills, then flipped his left hand to summon Illusory Heaven Fire.
lín xuān méi yǒu duō shuō ， xiù páo yī fú ， yí gè yù píng fēi lüè ér chū ， bá kāi píng sāi ， lín xuān jiāng liǎng lì qī hēi de yào wán dào le chū lái ， zhè yě shì dé zì xuě huā shèng zǔ de bǎo wù ， bù guò duì xiū luó gǔ dú yě zhǐ shì yǒu huǎn jiě de xiào guǒ ， bìng bù néng wán quán bá chú 。
林轩没有多说，袖袍一拂，一个玉瓶飞掠而出，拔开瓶塞，林轩将两粒漆黑的药丸倒了出来，这也是得自雪花圣祖的宝物，不过对修罗骨毒也只是有缓解的效果，并不能完全拔除。
The five-colored crystal turned green quickly as the best method to counter Devil's Bone Poison was using poison against poison.
Chapter 2432: The Fiendish Realm's Strange Poison
This was the effect of a sneak attack. Otherwise, facing Lin Xuan directly, even if he could eventually win in the end, it wouldn't be as swift and decisive as now.
The face of the poison-faced cultivator still held an expression of disbelief. How could things have gone so wrong for him? Although his head was pierced through, he wasn’t about to fall; but his body had been rendered useless.
Damn!
However, while anger raged within, there was nothing that could be done at this point. What use would it serve to vent one's fury? The pressing matter now was how to extricate himself from the situation.
With a loud "bang," his mangled body automatically exploded open, and a dazzling yellow light shot out, flying over a hundred feet away in an instant. Inside was a baby that resembled the poison-faced cultivator.
The entire incident happened too suddenly. The formidable enemy who had just been causing him headaches had turned into a fleeing dog. The silver-eyed maiden was taken aback and stood rooted to her spot on the ground.
However, even as the infant spirit tried to escape, it found no way out because Lin Xuan wasn't about to dawdle. While using the Black Spirit Drilling technique for an ambush, he had already prepared a countermeasure. A flash of light revealed a green hand, its surface wrapped in electric arcs, with talismanic runes appearing on its skin.

"Don’t worry. Dragon Junior Brother is merely poisoned and won't have any immediate danger for a while. He’s protected by the Clear Stream Shield, and the Spirit Formation cultivators of the Heaven Extinction Sect were all eliminated by you. The remaining invaders can no longer harm him," the silver-eyed maiden said calmly as she swept her gaze over the area.
"Oh!"
Lin Xuan nodded and didn’t say more. After a brief discussion with the silver-eyed maiden, they split up to face their enemies.
...
An hour later.
Clear Stream Illusion Realm, the silver-eyed maiden’s abode.
This was one of the most important forbidden areas in Cloud Concealment Sect, where the Supreme Elder practiced. Without an invitation, even the heads of the five major sects couldn’t enter this place擅自。
Lin Xuan had now advanced to the Spirit Formation stage and would become a Supreme Elder soon. Therefore, he could freely enter.
With the senior cultivator from Heaven Extinction Sect eliminated, the remaining invaders posed no threat. Lin Xuan and the silver-eyed maiden dealt with them easily.
The Dragon-named youth remained unconscious, showing no signs of distress on the surface. However, when Lin Xuan used his Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye, he discovered a faint black aura at his brow.
This black aura was peculiar, shaped like a tiny skull.
"Devil's Bone Poison!"
Lin Xuan’s surprised voice echoed.
"What is Devil's Bone Poison?"
The silver-eyed maiden’s face lit up with joy. With her extensive knowledge, she only knew that Dragon Junior Brother had been poisoned but couldn’t identify the exact poison. She tried several methods to remove it without success.
"This poison isn't from the Spirit Realm; it's a strange poison from the Fiendish Realm. No wonder you didn't recognize it," Lin Xuan sighed. If he hadn’t spent over a hundred years in the Fiendish Realm during this Spirit Formation trial, he would have been equally confused.
"Junior Brother, if you know how to treat it, can you find a way?" the silver-eyed maiden said happily.
"I’ll give it a try."
Lin Xuan didn't provide an affirmative answer. After all, he had only seen such poison in Fiendish Realm texts and hadn’t personally encountered it before, so he couldn’t be too confident.
"Then I'll trouble you."
"It's my duty."
Without saying more, Lin Xuan flicked his sleeve and a jade bottle flew out. He uncorked the bottle and took out two black pills. These were treasures from Snowflake Saint Ancestor, but they only provided relief for Devil’s Bone Poison and couldn’t completely remove it.
Lin Xuan fed the Dragon-named youth the spirit pills, then flipped his left hand to summon Illusory Heaven Fire.
The five-colored crystal turned green quickly as the best method to counter Devil's Bone Poison was using poison against poison.
