Chapter 65: The Nine Poison Clan
At this time, several elders and Meng Bo removed their hands from Shen Tianhu's body. They were all sweating profusely, their faces somewhat pale, and it was clear that they had consumed a lot of true energy.
"Thank you, seniors, for helping my father detoxify. How is he now?" Shen Xiang asked, his voice calm but his heart full of worry. Shen Tianhu was his father, his loved one, who had cared for him since childhood, and he was worried about losing this old father.
Meng Bo said, "Don't worry, the toxicity has been temporarily suppressed, but it hasn't been completely eliminated. The severe poison has already entered the bones and meridians, seeping into the five organs and six viscera. Fortunately, I can suppress the toxicity for now, otherwise..."
Shen Xiang closed his eyes, took a slight breath in, and then clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with anger. An invisible killing aura suddenly burst out from him.
Shen Tianhu slightly opened his eyes, his voice weak but full of anger: "Those bastards from the Jiu Du Gang, they've repeatedly ambushed our Shen family members, so I went to settle the score with them myself. In the end, we clashed and I killed two of their leaders and five elders. But then I was ambushed by that group's mastermind, and at the time, I didn't continue fighting, instead rushing back as fast as I could!"
Shen Xiang was stunned, and those elders and Meng Bo also looked at Shen Tianhu in disbelief!
"Old man... actually single-handedly infiltrated the Jiu Du Gang!" Shen Xiang took a deep breath, the Jiu Du Gang was an extremely vicious organization that mainly used poison to attack, and was a dark force feared by many warriors. Ten years ago, two families had sent out their top experts, but not one of them returned.
Later, it was the heads of those two families who went, and they also didn't come back!
"Hmph, what's there to be afraid of? Since our Shen family took over the Yao family, this Jiu Du Gang has been against us, always robbing our Shen family's goods. More than ten of our Shen family members have also been secretly poisoned and killed by them. If we don't get rid of this Jiu Du Gang, more of our Shen family members will be killed in the future." Shen Tian said angrily.
"Don't get angry." Meng Bo reminded him.
Shen Tianhu's move was earth-shattering, having killed two leaders and five elders of the Jiudu Gang, a huge loss for any gang, shaking its very foundations.
Shen Lu Zong walked over, handing the thin needle wrapped in thick cloth to the crowd, saying: "This needle was just now when everyone suppressed the toxicity of Tian Hu, it emerged from his arm. After this needle enters a person's body, it will produce numbness and won't let people notice. However, Tian Hu's spiritual awareness is relatively strong, so he can feel the situation in his body, therefore he didn't continue fighting, otherwise the toxin would have become more severe and spread."
Shen Xiang stared at the needle, his eyes suddenly widening, and his expression became even more solemn!
"I've seen this needle before!" Shen Xiang clenched his fist, remembering the last time he fought with Prince Song Nanming, who had released a similar small needle that also pierced Leng Youlan, but the poison wasn't too potent.
"It was that prince, when he fought with Leng Youlan, he released the ice needle and poisoned her! When I had a duel with him, he released steel needles, but they were burned by my fire." Shen Xiang said with furrowed brows.
The prince had always been puzzled by this thing, but now he saw that the Jiu Du Gang also had such a thing, and it was inevitable to associate them together.
"Emperor Song Wu is quite leisurely, but being with the Jiu Du Bang will bring him no good. However, it's possible that the crown prince has secretly been in contact with them." Meng Bo said, recalling how he had eliminated the poison from Leng Youlan last time, and he suspected this as well.
"I must get to the bottom of this! Old man, where is the Nine Poison Clan?" Shen Xiang asked, his eyes filled with intense killing intent.
"Be careful on Lu Feng Mountain!" Shen Tianhu was also very familiar with his own son, and Shen Xiang's strength made him feel at ease. Such a powerful pharmacist was taken down by Shen Xiang.
"Don't worry, Tianhu's poison will be forced out after a period of time." Shen Lüzong patted Shen Xiang's shoulder.
Shen Xiang left the secret room, rode his horse out of the city, and rushed towards the east of Wang City. The Lu Feng Mountain had always been a gathering place for thieves and bandits. It was said that there was a gang that gathered all the scattered thieves together, and now it was the Jiu Du Gang!
As soon as he left the city, Shen Xiang realized that someone was following him. He pretended not to notice and continued on his way. After eliminating the Medicine Family, it was impossible for some of the remaining members to avenge them, but with his current strength, he didn't have to worry about those people retaliating.
Entering the forest, Shen Xiang abandoned his horse and started sprinting on his own. He even intentionally slowed down to let those who were following him catch up, but what he found strange was that those people didn't seem to have any intention of taking action against him; they just seemed to be responsible for monitoring him.
"Could it be that someone has anticipated I would go to Luanshan Mountain?" The thought suddenly flashed into Shen Xiang's mind, and he suspected there might be an ambush ahead.
As he ventured deeper into the forest, he suddenly discovered that those who had been following him had all moved ahead of him. Shen Xiang was now certain that there were people lying in ambush for him up ahead!
Sure, here is the translation:
As expected, after running for a short while, he saw someone sitting in front of him!
In front was a treeless expanse, the empty ground covered with fallen leaves, but here appeared a luxurious chair, on which sat a handsome young man.
"Song Nanming!" Shen Xiang coldly gazed at the former crown prince who had been crippled by him. If it weren't for the large quantity of high-quality spiritual medicine, he wouldn't have recovered so quickly.
Song Nanming will appear here, there is only one explanation, that is Song Nanming and the Jiu Du Gang indeed have a close relationship. After Shen Tianhu left the Jiu Du Gang, the Jiu Du Gang immediately sent a flying eagle to send a message, Song Nanming still had time to come here.
According to Shen Xiang's style of doing things, after Shen Tianhu's poisoning death, Shen Xiang will definitely come to avenge him. And Song Nanming hated Shen Xiang deeply, so it was normal for him to intercept and kill him halfway.
Shen Xiang suddenly thought of this layer, he knew that there must be many Jiudu Gang people around him preparing to use that poisonous hidden weapon on him, but he was calm and composed.
As an alchemist, he had long possessed the ability to resist poison, and his actual strength was that of a Mortal Martial Realm Eighth Layer cultivator. His discernment was extremely strong, and last time Song Nanming hadn't even used that hidden needle to secretly calculate against him.
Song Nanming was still standing behind four sturdy men, all of whom were emitting pure and true aura, it was clear at a glance that they were top-notch inner court experts.
"Song Nanming, I didn't expect you to collude with the Jiu Du gang! As the prince of Nan Wu State, you're actually in cahoots with such an evil force. If this gets out, humph!" Shen Xiang sneered.
"Shen Xiang, what are you being so arrogant about when death is staring you in the face? If you die, who will know about my dealings with the Jiu Du gang? Haha... as long as I get rid of you, once I become emperor, I'll definitely wipe out your Shen family. I want to be a true emperor!" Song Nanming said maniacally.
The emperor of Nanwu had a name but no reality, only responsible for managing the entire country, but when the Shen and Yao families' affairs occurred, he had no right to intervene and had no power to intervene, with limited power.
Song Nanming is the crown prince, he will be the next emperor, he is very eager for power, he does not want to be suppressed by those martial arts families, so now he must establish a good relationship with the Jiu Du Gang and other forces, so that when the time comes, he can use these forces to secretly eliminate some of the families that oppose him.
"Take action, he absolutely cannot leave here alive." Along with Song Nanming's loud roar, a gust of dark wind suddenly swept through the forest!
