Ah!

  Suddenly, a miserable cry burst forth on the empty ground, and then the many headquarters' Qu Xiang masters present were shocked to see those branch Qu Xiang masters, all spouting black blood from their seven orifices, and falling backwards.

  His body fell to the ground with a dull thud, like a heavy hammer, causing everyone's eyes to spin and their hearts to feel a chill that shot up to the top of their heads.

  The situation suddenly became chaotic.

  The crowd panicked and rushed to help the fallen cultivators, shouting loudly in an attempt to wake them up.

  "Don't panic, check their breath!"

  At this moment, a soft drink sounded, and Jiang Qing'e walked quickly, with a cold expression, her calm voice also stabilized the panicked crowd.

  Jiang Qing'e brought Cai Wei and Yan Lingqing to Li Luo's side, saying: "It seems that this is Pei Hao's trump card. He had poison mixed into the gift package he sent over."

  Cai Wei's lovely goose egg face was also covered with frost at this time, biting her silver teeth and saying: "This Pei Hao is so vicious!"

  "He had expected from the start that the Lord of the Minor Treasury would accept these branch division's Qu Xiang masters, so he poisoned their bodies. His goal was probably to have these branch division's Qu Xiang masters die in the Xi Yang Wu Zong headquarters."

  Yan Ling's eyes gleamed with icy coldness as she added, "I'm afraid that now Pei Huan's other plans have also been set in motion. Who knows, at this very moment, the news of Luolan House's Creek Yang House branch being poisoned by Shui Xiang Shi may already be spreading throughout Dashu City, and he intends to ruin Creek Yang House's reputation within the Shui Xiang Shi circle."

  "He even spread rumors that the reason why these branch refining masters were poisoned was because they used the secret source water provided by Li Luo, and this secret source water had problems."

  "Perhaps a rational person would not believe such rumors, but the reason why rumors are frightening is that when they spread to a certain extent, true and false are no longer so important."

  "This dirty water will always be left on Xi Yang's body. Later, I'm afraid no other cultivator will be willing to join Xi Yang House."

  "He's thinking of... completely destroying the Xiyang House."

  Li Luo's face was devoid of any expression, his usual warm smile vanished without a trace. However, those familiar with him knew that this state of Li Luo was the real sign of him having made up his mind to kill.

  "What are you going to do?" Jiang Qing'e asked calmly, her eyes fixed on Li Luo.

  Li Luo took a deep breath, suppressing the murderous intent in his heart, and said: "Actually, poisoning these branch division cultivators is a tactic I had previously suspected, so over the past few days, I arranged for some treatment masters to examine their bodies, but the results were all normal."

  "It's clear that Pei Hao didn't use ordinary poison, the sound wave from earlier should be a means to trigger the poison, this Pei Hao is always keeping an eye on us."

  "But now it's all useless to say these things. Ling Qing's previous guess was correct, Pei Huan's purpose is to destroy the Xiyang House."

  His eyes met those of Jiang Qing'e, and the Xiyang House was an important economic source for the Luolan Government. If the Xiyang House were to be destroyed, the economic situation of the Luolan Government would suffer a severe blow, which would in turn affect the entire body, directly causing turmoil in the Luolan Government.

  Is it possible that Pei Huan suddenly took such a ruthless move because the supporters behind him were urging him to further attack Luolan Prefecture?

  So what is the ultimate goal?

  It goes without saying.

  It is for destroying the Lorain Headquarters' "Kizuna" guardian.

  "We can't let these martial arts masters be poisoned to death at headquarters." Jiang Qing'e said slowly.

  If there really is a master who died here, then it's true that one can only be splashed with dirty water by others.

  Li Luo nodded, looking at the not-too-distant place where some figures were hastily running towards him. He said, "These are therapists I invited in advance, originally for emergency purposes, but now it seems, fortunately, I didn't make a mistake."

  Jiang Qing'e nodded in agreement and had already prepared a therapist in advance, although she didn't know if it could detoxify or not, but at least it was better than running around frantically to find one now.

  A group of therapists rushed over, and when they saw the tempered teacher with seven orifices flowing with black blood, their faces all changed greatly.

  "Please try to detoxify them immediately, if you can't detoxify, analyze the antidote as soon as possible, I will purchase it immediately." Li Luo said to them, without time to say more, and instructed solemnly.

  "I also ask everyone to go all out and help me with this matter. After it's over, the Luolan Manor will surely express its gratitude."

  These therapists responded promptly and then began investigating and attempting to treat these poisoned individuals.

  However, after half a stick of incense, these therapists came to report with a difficult expression: "Master Shaofu, the poison that these people have taken is quite rare and highly toxic. Our treatment has only alleviated the time when the poisonous gas invades the heart, but it's not easy to eliminate it."

  Li Luo wasn't surprised by this. If Pei Hao's poison could be resolved so easily, it wouldn't have been worth his trouble to go to such great lengths.

  "What antidotes can be used?" Li Luo asked, having also crammed some knowledge of therapists before to help the young emperor recover.

  The therapists communicated with each other for a while, then took out a piece of paper and hastily wrote something on it. "Indeed, some detoxification materials are needed. If the young master can quickly procure them, they will likely play a significant role in detoxification."

  Li Luo took over the paper and nodded slightly.

  He summoned Elder Zheng Ping and said: "Procure the materials listed on this invoice immediately."

  Elder Zhengping's expression was solemn and he quickly accepted the order and left.

  On the side, Jiang Qing'e's eyes flashed and said: "If these materials can be effective, with Pei Hao's means, it is unlikely that nothing has been prepared in these days."

  Li Luo's eyes narrowed slightly as he said, "Are you saying that he will take the initiative to purchase these important antidote materials first?"

  Jiang Qing'e nodded slightly and said, "After all, Pei Huan is not alone. There is a black hand behind him, so he should have such financial resources."

  "At this time, as long as they can delay for some time, once the poisonous gas invades their hearts, these branch division cultivators will undoubtedly die. By then, his goal will also be achieved."

  Li Luo took a deep breath. Pei Huang was indeed the pillar of the Luolan Manor, and this attack was truly chilling.

  "If there's still a place where these special antidotes can be purchased, I'm afraid it would only be one location in this entire city of Dashu..." Jiang Qing'ao looked at Li Luo.

  Li Luo also nodded at this point, of course he knew where Jiang Qing'e was referring to. In the city of Dashu, the place with the most abundant resources is naturally none other than Jinlong Treasure House.

  "But it's not necessarily smooth sailing over there, so..." She smiled softly at Li Luo.

  "Jīn Lóng Bǎo is on the other side, you might have to trouble yourself to go there in person."

  "After all, you're there, so it's still somewhat related."

  Li Luo smiled helplessly. He knew that Jiang Qing'e was referring to Lü Qing'er, but the situation was urgent and there was no time to say more. He nodded immediately.

  "I'm leaving now." He strode off with a swift and decisive air, turning his back on them.

  As Li Luo turned and walked away, a tall figure followed closely behind him with several others.

  "Lei Zhang will escort you, don't worry about the Xiyangwu headquarters side, I'll take care of it personally." Jiang Qing'e's voice came over.

  Li Luo's footsteps paused for a moment, he didn't say much, just nodded, and then quickly left with Lei Zhang and others.
