Chapter 575: Chasing Xu Chu!

The continent where the Wangyue Restaurant headquarters was located was called Yingzhou, and the specific area was known as the Wangyue Mountain Range.

Here, mountains rose and fell in layers, with divine peaks standing tall.

At this moment, in a pavilion on the central peak, Elder Qian and ten other Wangyue Restaurant high-ranking experts had finished all the spirit wine left by Xu Chu.

The toxicity of the purple petals was too strong; even with all the methods Xu Chu had tried before, he had only managed to suppress the toxins for a brief moment.

After they finished a jar, the weakest Saint King Realm expert among them suddenly reacted.

“Pfft….”

As the expert stood up, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, and without a word, he collapsed, his Life Qi dissipating instantly.

The speed of death exceeded everyone's reaction.

“Old Zhang! What happened to you?!”

Another expert came to his senses and rushed forward to check, only to find that he had no Life Qi left.

The others were shocked, but before they could react, three more people instantly died.

These four people had one thing in common: they were all Saint King Realm experts.

The remaining six were all Quasi-Emperors.

Elder Qian instantly reacted and shouted sternly, “The wine is poisoned!”

The others woke up as if from a dream, instinctively cursing.

“Damn it! That bastard actually poisoned us!”

“Why would he poison us?”

“What kind of poison is so potent that it can instantly kill a Saint King Realm expert?!”

Elder Qian's eyes were filled with killing intent. “Stop talking nonsense! Quickly send people to find him and bring him back!”

“Cough cough….”

At this moment, a Quasi-Emperor Realm Expert suddenly coughed up a mouthful of black blood, his face pale, swaying unsteadily.

“Zhao expert! You are an Emperor Realm Expert, yet you are also poisoned!”

Initially, they were just angry, but seeing a Quasi-Emperor expert also showing signs of poisoning, they instantly became panicked.

The fragrance emitted by the small purple flowers could poison Saint King Realm experts, so the toxicity contained in the petals was naturally even stronger.

Even Emperor Realm Experts could not escape this calamity.

However, they would not die as quickly and still had a chance to be saved.

The remaining six immediately took out various treasured items they had collected and consumed them, attempting to save themselves.

Elder Qian did the same, but she still managed to send a distress message to the Wangyuelou Master.

Upon receiving the message, the Wangyuelou Master instantly arrived at the pavilion, and seeing the situation, he was furious.

“What is going on? Who dared to poison you here?!”

This was their Wangyue Restaurant headquarters, and out of ten high-ranking experts, four had already died, and the remaining six were all on the verge of death.

How could the Wangyuelou Master not be angry?

Elder Qian's face was pale at this moment, her internal true essence extremely chaotic, and she barely managed to say, “Xu Chu poisoned us under the pretext of wine tasting.”

Upon hearing this, the Wangyuelou Master's head buzzed.

Even he, who had experienced many major events and seen many grand scenes, was a bit stunned at this moment.

“It was him! Why would he do such a thing?! And where did he find such a potent poison?!”

Throughout the entire Tian Yuan World, there were only a handful of poisons that could kill Saint Realm experts.

As for poisons that could harm Emperor Realm Experts, from the Archaic Era until now, there were only two recorded, and their existence was not even certain.

The Wangyuelou Master was suddenly startled.

“Could he be a spy sent by some force?”

The Wangyuelou Master had many questions, but it was clearly not the time to ponder them.

After he reacted, he immediately notified experts skilled in detoxification and Alchemy to rush over and summoned the experts stationed at the headquarters.

“You must immediately find Xu Chu and bring him back! We need him alive, or his corpse!”

Upon hearing his command, the experts were stunned.

“Are you referring to Xu Chu, our Wangyue Restaurant's Chief Brewer?”

They thought it was someone with the same name, as Xu Chu was a perfectly fine Chief Brewer, why would they capture him?

The Wangyuelou Master's face was gloomy as he said, “It is him! Send out all experts to search throughout the entire Tian Yuan World! Even if you have to dig three feet deep, you must find him for me!”

“Furthermore! This matter must be kept secret from everyone else!”

Although he wished to capture Xu Chu and tear him into a thousand pieces, this was still an internal matter of the Wangyue Restaurant for now.

Moreover, the fact that the Wangyue Restaurant's Chief Brewer poisoned its high-ranking experts was too humiliating and absolutely could not be spread.

If it were to get out, the reputation of the Wangyue Restaurant would surely plummet.

Therefore, secrecy was crucial.

“Yes!”

After confirming, although they were puzzled, the experts dared not ask further, seeing the Master's expression, and all began to act.

Thus, the Wangyue Restaurant headquarters was busy treating the six poisoned Quasi-Emperors.

At the same time, all the Saint Realm experts available to the Wangyue Restaurant had been dispatched to pursue their former Chief Brewer, Xu Chu.

Elder Li, as the former Chief Brewer of the Wangyue Restaurant, who had served for six hundred years, also learned about this matter, despite the proclaimed secrecy.

Besides being relieved that he didn't have to compete with Xu Chu to return to his original position, he was more incredulous.

“That kid actually did such a thing! Could he be sent by another force to retaliate against the Wangyue Restaurant?”

Most people thought this, but upon closer consideration, it seemed absurd.

Throughout the entire Tian Yuan World, the most skilled in brewing was the Wangyue Restaurant. Which other force could cultivate a brewer comparable to Elder Li?

And then, after cultivating such a person, send him to the Wangyue Restaurant to take such a risk?

This was too outrageous!

Therefore, everything about Xu Chu's poisoning became an unsolved mystery.

Until Xu Chu was captured, no matter how much they racked their brains, they wouldn't understand what had happened.
