Chapter 12: Dagger Revealed

After Sun Xuan, Sect Leader Master Huanglong, and a group of Elders settled the three Elders of the Xuandao Sect, they prepared to look for Wang Lin to discuss some matters.

Although it was not easy to state it openly right now, he at least had to hint to Wang Lin to make preparations to run away together with him.

When Sun Xuan found Wang Lin, Wang Lin was holding a few weird-looking Medicinal Pills to feed the Thousand-Foot Centipede.

Watching Wang Lin's actions at this moment, Sun Xuan gave a light cough with a strange expression on his face, and then spoke:

"Cough… Wang Lin, what are you doing?"

As the sound of the cough rose, the moment Wang Lin had yet to react, the Thousand-Foot Centipede suddenly became as if it had been struck by lightning.

With a "whoosh" sound, it darted into the corner, and then kicked its thousand legs, pretending to be dead.

"This!" Wang Lin was clearly startled by this scene before him, and he looked at the Medicinal Pill in his hand that had not yet been thrown out.

Then he looked at the Thousand-Foot Centipede in the corner whose life or death was unknown, and his Master who was blankly staring at him from behind, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat silent, and the air was filled with an Aura of awkwardness.

"Er, that beast is fine, you don't need to worry!"

Sun Xuan touched his nose somewhat speechlessly, casually flicking a wisp of Spiritual Qi to strike the feigning-death Thousand-Foot Centipede, and then crooking his finger at it.

Only to see the Thousand-Foot Centipede smartly waking up, and then its thousand feet moved in unison, darting to Sun Xuan's side like a pug, prostrating itself under Sun Xuan's feet.

That slightly raised centipede face, although looking as if there were no emotional changes, made Wang Lin on the side feel that it was full of ingratiating expressions no matter how he looked at it.

Wang Lin watched the scene before him with a strange gaze in his eyes, and then silently put away the remaining few Medicinal Pills in his hand.

Wang Lin now finally saw it clearly; this Master of his was not simple.

However, none of this mattered. From beginning to end, his Master had treated him like a biological child. This bond between Master and Disciple would never change.

"Master, my father at home suffers from a cold illness, and his whole body hurts whenever it rains or is overcast.

In the past, our family would often gather the poison of ordinary centipedes to make medicine, which could relieve my father's pain.

This Disciple thought that this Thousand-Foot Centipede's strength is extraordinary, and if some poison could be taken from it as medicine, perhaps it could completely cure the cold poison on my father's body.

What this Disciple just fed to this Thousand-Foot Centipede was a kind of medicine that could make centipedes vomit out poison."

Thinking of this, Wang Lin opened his mouth to explain to Sun Xuan.

"Foolish child!

Ordinary centipede poison can relieve cold poison because some mild poison can stimulate the body's potential to resist damp and cold Qi.

This Thousand-Foot Centipede is a solid Yao Beast, and its poison carries magical power. Ordinary mortal living beings die upon touching it, how can it be used as a good medicine for curing diseases!"

Listening to Sun Xuan's explanation, Wang Lin suddenly woke up in shock, and cold sweat flowed down in an instant.

"That's right, the poison of this Thousand-Foot Centipede, as soon as it touched the few small beasts he fed over, directly turned them into bloodwater, which was sucked into the belly by the Thousand-Foot Centipede.

How could such a strangely toxic object be used as medicine? I am truly muddle-headed, and almost caused a huge mistake."

Thinking of this, Wang Lin immediately bowed with cupped fists toward Sun Xuan with a grateful expression:

"Thank you, Master, for your guidance. This Disciple was foolish and almost made a disastrous mistake!"

Seeing that Wang Lin had figured it out, Sun Xuan continued to speak to him:

"It is good that you understand. If you want to untie the cold poison on your father's body, you only need to use one duoling pill, dissolve it in water, and let your father take it.

Then take another duoling pill, dissolve it in warm water, and wipe his entire body. Before long, you will be able to eradicate this damp-cold poison."

Hearing Sun Xuan's words, Wang Lin spoke with a grateful expression in his eyes:

"This Disciple will remember this respectfully. Thank you, Master!"

Seeing this, Sun Xuan nodded, and then continued to speak:

"Wang Lin, be more vigilant these past few days and do not stir up extra trouble.

The Xuandao Sect has come with ill intent this time. Outside the Hengyue Sect's mountain gate, the Aura of peerless experts faintly appears, and the crisis may not be far away.

Pack the items you need to carry yourself. If things become impossible, at that time, watch this Master's expression and act accordingly!"

Hearing what Sun Xuan said, Wang Lin nodded in agreement with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Seeing this, Sun Xuan knew that the purpose of reminding Wang Lin had been achieved, so he nodded slightly.

Then with a kick, he kicked the Thousand-Foot Centipede flying into the corner of the wall, and turned around to leave the place.

After Sun Xuan left, Wang Lin looked at the Thousand-Foot Centipede foaming at the mouth in the corner of the wall, and his eyeballs suddenly rolled around.

Then he took out a gourd of poison-vomiting Medicinal Pills from his Storage Pouch, and walked towards the Thousand-Foot Centipede with a sinister smile on his face.

…

Three days later, the exchange between the Hengyue Sect and the Xuandao Sect officially began!

This was a long-standing tradition between the two Schools, so there were no overly tedious steps. The location of the exchange was set on Cangsong Peak, the subsidiary peak of Hengyue Peak.

Cangsong Peak was one of the most important locations of the Hengyue Sect. The degree of Spiritual Qi abundance in this place was no weaker than the back mountain where Inner Sect Disciples like Wang Lin had previously been in secluded cultivation.

It was the year-round secluded cultivation place of the two Core Formation Grandmasters of the Hengyue Sect.

At the summit of Cangsong Peak, after Master Huanglong waved his hand to untie the murderous Dao Aura of the eight white jade Formation foundation stones, the two Schools' first exchange began.

Sun Xuan sat unhurriedly on the stands like an invisible person, not saying a single word.

The first match was Liu Feng of the Xuandao Sect facing off against Zhao Long, an Inner Sect Disciple of the Hengyue Sect.

A Genius Disciple with a single Water Spiritual Root fighting an ordinary sixth layer Qi Condensation Disciple—there was no need to say much about the result; it ended with Zhao Long's crushing defeat.

The second match was the comical Sun Hao squaring off head-on against Liu Feng; a handful of stinky bombs were all smeared onto his own face, losing all face for everyone up and down the Hengyue Sect.

In the third match, the Hengyue Sect deployed the Core Disciple Lü Song, finally defeating Xu Mu of the Xuandao Sect.

Unfortunately, before they had time to rejoice, the Xuandao Sect brought the news that all the major Nascent Soul Stage Grandmasters of the Hengyue Sect had died in battle on the Outer Realm Battlefield.

Meanwhile, the Xuandao Sect had good luck; their School's Nascent Soul Grandmaster, Punanzi, had returned alive from the Outer Realm Battlefield.

With the dagger revealed, Ouyang Qing of the Xuandao Sect bluntly stated that if the Hengyue Sect could not defeat his Xuandao Sect in this match, this mountain gate would have to be lent to his Xuandao Sect for five hundred years.

Hearing these words, the Aura of everyone up and down the Hengyue Sect became extremely depressed, each of them panicked like frightened birds.

Immediately following that, the Hengyue Sect's last trump card, the Core Disciple Lü Song, was defeated in a single move by the Xuandao Sect's strongest Disciple Zhou Peng, shattering the Hengyue Sect's final hope.

Only to see Zhou Peng, who had defeated Lü Song in a single move, full of arrogance, clamoring to the group of Hengyue Sect Disciples:

"You Inner Sect Disciples, all of you come together! I, Zhou Peng, am enough by myself!"

The Hengyue Sect Disciples all wore angry expressions on their faces, but unfortunately their cultivation was insufficient. When Zhou Peng's gaze swept over, they unconsciously averted their gazes one by one, not daring to meet his eyes.

At this very moment, Zhou Peng's gaze suddenly locked with Wang Lin's.

Unlike the panic and evasion of the other Inner Sect Disciples, Wang Lin's expression was calm, and he met his gaze with a tranquil look on his face.

"Third layer of the Qi Condensation Stage?

Baring one's domineering Aura, you're courting death!"

Looking at this ant-like cultivation, Zhou Peng saw that he actually dared to meet his gaze, and instantly anger arose in his heart, raising his hand to wave out a stream of black Qi.

Sweeping toward Wang Lin like an angry Dragon.
