Su Chen checked Huang Erlang, the other elders, and even some of the disciples outside. He found that all of them had a layer of poisonous fog in their Knowledge Seas.
Su Chen returned to his seat and said, "This is Soul Devouring Poison, refined from the souls of Soul Fiends. There is almost no antidote for this poison. It will flare up once, once, once, and four times a year. When it flares up, the soul will be eroded, and the pain will be unbearable. Only the Soul Cleansing Pill can suppress it. The main ingredient for refining the Soul Cleansing Pill is Soul Beard Grass, a specialty of the Wuji Continent. It only grows in very few places and is controlled by the Wuji Nation.
It's rarely seen in the outside world. "After Su Chen finished speaking, Xia Yunlan and the others were shocked.
Su Chen said it word for word. This was too shocking.
Xia Yunlan couldn't help but ask, "Young Hero, are you a medicine god alchemist?"
If one didn't have a certain level of attainment in alchemy, how could an ordinary person see the origin of this poison at a glance?
Su Chen didn't answer Xia Yunlan's question. Instead, he continued to ask, "I can believe that you are controlled by the Wuji Sect, and I won't blame you for killing the Monster Race. However, your people came to my Eastern Fence Sea to show off and try to occupy Black Rock Island. This isn't an order from the Wuji Sect, right?"
Everyone was shocked. Only now did they understand why Su Chen had come. It turned out that they were from the Eastern Fence Sea.
Heavens, when did such a young expert appear in the Eastern Fence Sea? Why had they never heard of him?
Xia Yunlan seemed to understand something and said angrily, "It must be that brat Huang Hu who acted on his own initiative. He was reckless. If he offended Young Hero in any way, please calm down. When he comes back, I will teach him a lesson."
"That won't be necessary. He's already dead," Su Chen said indifferently.
Xia Yunlan was shocked. She looked at Su Chen with a bit of fear in her eyes.
"Tell me, why do you want to occupy Black Rock Island?" Su Chen asked.
Su Chen had asked Kong Lingxuan about Black Rock Island. It was just an ordinary island. There weren't many demonic beasts, and there weren't many mineral resources. He was curious as to why the Imperial Sky Sect wanted to snatch Black Rock Island.
Xia Yunlan hesitated for a moment and said, "To tell you the truth, it's because we found a small amount of wild Soul Feeler Grass on Black Rock Island. Therefore, I decided to take over Black Rock Island and secretly cultivate the Soul Feeler Grass to help us break free from the Martial Polarity Sect's control and allow the Sky Riding Sect to regain their freedom.
That was a reasonable explanation.
But no matter what the reason was, he ran to the Eastern Fence Sea to behave atrociously and even dared to bully my Big Sister Miao Yin. He deserved to die.
But to these cultivators of the Imperial Sky Sect …
Su Chen originally planned to catch all of them in one fell swoop and enforce justice on behalf of the heavens. But now, it seemed that the culprit was still the Martial Polarity Sect. They were just a group of people who had no choice. Killing them wouldn't solve the problem. If the Sky Riding Sect fell, the Martial Polarity Sect could still support the Earth Riding Sect. As long as the Martial Polarity Sect still needed the Spirit Beast Pill, the demonic beasts would still be threatened.
Su Chen was silent for a moment and said, "Who was the one who poisoned you?"
The Martial Polarity Sect was so big and had so many internal factions. Su Chen also believed that it was impossible for the entire Martial Polarity Sect to be a scapegoat. After all, only a few people could do such a thing.
If he could catch the source and get rid of them in one fell swoop, he could solve the problem once and for all.
Although Su Chen didn't have the ability to teach the Martial Polarity Sect a lesson, he had a relationship with Xia Ziyan. It seemed that Xia Ziyan had the ambition to be a good empress. From the words of the Martial Polarity Sect disciples, it could be heard that Xia Ziyan was a great hindrance to them. In that case, Su Chen could borrow Xia Ziyan's hand to settle this matter and also do her a favor. After all, Su Chen had just received a piece of information that was related to her interests.
Xia Yunlan's delicate body trembled as if she had thought of something terrifying. She said, "Young hero, I advise you not to get involved in this matter. Although you are powerful, the other party is not to be trifled with."
Hearing Xia Yunlan's words, Su Chen's impression of her changed slightly.
"There's no harm in saying it. I'm not afraid of trouble."
"This … Alright then."
Xia Yunlan said, "The person controlling our Imperial Sky Sect is the Martial Polarity Sect's Core Disciple, Xia Rong."
Xia Rong?
Wasn't that the guy that the Martial Polarity Sect's disciples had mentioned?
"How can a mere True Disciple be so capable?"
Su Chen questioned. A true disciple was considered to have a relatively high status in a sect. However, a disciple was still a disciple after all. They were still considered to be in the stage of apprenticeship. Their strength was generally not that strong.
"Young hero, you must not underestimate this person. Xia Rong is a unique existence among the Core Disciples of the Martial Polarity Sect. This is because his master is not an ordinary Elder of the Martial Polarity Sect, but one of the three Grand Elders, Wu Xuantian!
The three Grand Elders have a high status in the Martial Polarity Sect. The other two Grand Elders, Wu Mingkong and Wu Youya, have never accepted a disciple. Xia Rong is the only Core Disciple of a Grand Elder in the Martial Polarity Sect. His status is even higher than ordinary Elders. Furthermore … Xia Rong is the nephew of the East Vanquishing Marquis. Not only does he have a high status in the Martial Polarity Sect, but he also has an extremely high status in the Martial Polarity Country's royal family. "
Oh?
That's interesting.
Su Chen continued, "What else do you know? Tell me everything."
Huang Erlang hesitated for a moment before saying, "My lord, there is one more thing that you might be interested in. A few months ago, Xia Rong came to the Imperial Sky Sect and ordered us to refine a mutated beast core. It was the beast core of an Inextinguishable Calamity Beast, and it was extremely difficult to refine the ferocious and berserk demonic energy within it. However, after refining it, Xia Rong asked me to inject the Soul Eating Poison into the beast core. He said that he wanted to use this beast core to make the new empress of the Martial Polarity Country, Xia Ziyan, his slave."
"There's such a thing?" Su Chen immediately frowned. This Xia Rong was so sinister.
If Xia Ziyan were to be tricked, wouldn't it be unimaginable?
Huang Erlang said, "It's absolutely true. Although my strength is not good, my ancestors passed down a skill to refine beast cores. Therefore, Xia Rong still thinks highly of me. These words were accidentally revealed by him when he was refining the beast core."
"What enmity does Xia Rong have with Xia Ziyan?"
"I don't know about that, but Xia Rong was once an honored guest of Xia Bei Wang Ye. Back then, when Xia Bei Wang Ye failed to seize the throne, Xia Rong might have been implicated because of this."
F * ck, the relationship between a royal family was already very complicated. With the addition of the huge Martial Polarity Sect and the various factions of experts, it was simply a mess. Even Su Chen was a little confused by this complicated relationship.
But in conclusion, it was very clear that Xia Ziyan was in danger.
Right now, Xia Ziyan had just returned to the Martial Polarity Country, so she shouldn't be in danger yet. If Su Chen were to warn her now, it might still be too late.
