Soul Emperor Martial God

"Cough." Qing Lin said while spitting out a mouthful of black blood.

"You better keep quiet." Xiao Yi said in a low voice, "I'll detoxify you as soon as possible."

"It's nothing." Qing Lin shook his head with a light laugh.

At this moment, Qing Lin was clearly severely injured, even facing a life-threatening situation, yet he wasn't worried at all, instead, he still had the mood to joke.

"Still laughing, aren't you afraid of dying?" Xiao Yi frowned, quickly sensing Qing Lin's body.

"Of course, I'm afraid. Who isn't afraid of dying?" Qing Lin smiled.

"I just believe you'll be able to detoxify me."

"Our Black Cloud Academy is full of monsters."

"What is a monster? Is it merely being unruly and reckless?"

"No, a monster is someone who can often do what others cannot, can often create miracles, shocking the world."

"The more something is impossible for ordinary people, the more a monster is able to do it."

"Oh, by the way." Qing Lin laughed, "These few words were said by that old deputy dean, I can't say something so profound."

Xiao Yi shook his head and said in a low voice, "In your current state, the fierce poison inside your body is rampaging."

"On one hand, it corrodes your body, your internal organs."

"On the other hand, it continues to devour your vitality."

"If this continues, you won't last half a day."

"And I..." Xiao Yi paused, his face looking grim, "For now, I can't grasp these black poisons; it's even harder to talk about detoxification."

What Xiao Yi said was true, he had been sensing these black poisons as fast as he could.

Before figuring out what these black poisons were, even as a high-grade alchemist, he was helpless.

But up until now, he had no clue.

The means of the Black Poison Saint King were truly formidable.

Qing Lin sneered, rolling his eyes, "I say, Xiao Yi, your arrogance should have a limit."

"If the Black Poison of the Black Poison Saint King were so easily understood by you, wouldn't his title as the number one Poison Refiner in the Black Cloud Region be a joke?"

"No rush, still the same words, I trust you."

"If it really doesn't work, then..."

Qing Lin's words abruptly stopped.

"Then what?" Xiao Yi frowned.

Honestly, he didn't have the confidence now; if there were other solutions, they would be preferable.

"Then we must hurry back to the academy." Qing Lin looked a bit unwilling.

Xiao Yi's face brightened, "I forgot the deputy dean is the Hall Master of the Medicine Venerate Hall."

"With his skills, detoxifying you shouldn't be difficult."

"Let's go, I'll take you back to the academy now."

To prevent mishaps, Xiao Yi planned to first take Qing Lin back to the academy.

Feeling the way, see if he could find a Detoxification Method, if yes, that would be best, if not, they could still return to the academy in time.

Unexpectedly, Qing Lin shook his head, "The black poison, even the deputy dean can't solve it."

"The means of the Black Poison Saint King aren't as simple as you think."

"Moreover, now we are under siege, there are quite a few folks wanting our heads."

"You're already injured, and I'm in this state, are you sure you can carry me safely across hundreds of thousands of miles back to the academy?"

"Then what do you propose?" Xiao Yi frowned tightly.

Qing Lin shook his head, "We can only return to the academy, and ask the academy to intervene, making a trip to the Black Poison Villa."

"It's rumored that in the Black Poison Villa, there is a Black Poison Pond, capable of detoxifying all kinds of poisons."

"That place is where the Black Poison Saint King usually practices, it matches his aura and all his techniques."

"As long as the toxicity in the Black Poison Pond is removed, the essential water of the pond can surely detoxify the black poison."

"However, once the academy gets involved, the nature of the matter changes, and it elevates to another level."

"Most importantly, it's too humiliating, I don't want to embarrass the academy or cause trouble for it."

"So, do your best." Qing Lin earnestly stared at Xiao Yi.

Qing Lin's eyes were full of stubbornness, as well as unwillingness.

Xiao Yi nodded, speaking solemnly, "It's good to have a means."

"I will do my best, but it's still better to first make a trip to the Black Poison Villa."

"What do you intend to do?" Qing Lin's face changed.

Xiao Yi snorted, "I'm not sure if I can detoxify you."

"If I really can't later, I can only take you to the Black Poison Pond."

"No need for the academy to get involved, I'll handle it."

In Xiao Yi's eyes flashed a trace of confidence.

"Are you crazy?" Qing Lin exclaimed.

"Going to the Black Poison Villa now, isn't it like courting death?"

"Absolutely not, if that's the case, I'd rather return to the academy."

"Aren't you afraid of shaming the academy?" Xiao Yi smiled playfully.

"I'm more afraid of losing a junior brother." Qing Lin shook his head.

"Fine, keep quiet." Xiao Yi said solemnly, "Just point me to the way to the Black Poison Villa."

"Impossible." Qing Lin said coldly, "I won't let you be foolish."

Xiao Yi shrugged, "The Black Poison Villa is a top force within the Black Cloud Region, I can just ask around or look it up and find out its location, your guidance isn't necessary."

"As for being foolish, the truth is, you didn't need to block that previous intense poison for me."

"Had I been poisoned now, I would have a hundred ways to stay alive."

"But you had to be foolish and take it for me, so I can only clean up afterward for you."

"You..." Qing Lin's expression, for the first time, showed frustration.

"Damn it, I should never have agreed to travel with you in the first place."

"I blocked it for you because your cultivation like an ant could never withstand those intense poisons."

"If something happened to you, how would I explain to that old guy back at the academy?"

"As an elder brother, unable to protect a newly joined junior brother? I remain unscathed, while the junior brother suffers a serious injury and dies? Do you want me to go down in the academy's history in infamy?"

"Say what you will." Xiao Yi shrugged, lightly laughing, "Right now you have no choice."

"Oh, and if you regret traveling with me now, it's useless."

"Save the regret for the next time."

With that, Xiao Yi hoisted Qing Lin by the collar.

With a wave of his hand, a surge of Primordial Power enveloped Qing Lin.

Qing Lin now didn't even have the strength to stand steady, had no means to resist, only a face full of anger.

"The Black Poison Villa is full of strong warriors, and heavily guarded, what are you going to use to get in?"

"Don't tell me you plan to fight your way in."

"I don't know, let's figure it out when we get there." Xiao Yi shrugged.

...

Xiao Yi carried Qing Lin, flying at full speed.

Sensing the intense poisons along the way to see if a Detoxification Method could be found, while continuing on the journey.

Several hours later, Xiao Yi stopped flying.

The Black Poison Villa was nearby.

"Phew." Xiao Yi took a deep breath, "It's no use, these intense poisons, I still cannot deal with."

"So let's take a trip to the Black Poison Villa then."

Saying this, Xiao Yi found a secluded spot, set Qing Lin down, laid down dozens of formations and prohibitions.

"Wait here for me, I'll be back soon."

Saying this, Xiao Yi turned and left.

"Still the same question, what are you going to use to get in?" Qing Lin asked in a low voice.

Xiao Yi smiled faintly, "Barring any accidents, I should be able to go in and out freely."

The calm words, yet filled with immense confidence.

He's been to more dangerous places; this Black Poison Villa couldn't stop him.
