Soul Emperor Martial God

Parting with Qing Lin, Xiao Yi proceeded alone to the Black Poison Villa.

The prohibitions and formations he left behind were enough to protect Qing Lin for a period.

Ordinary demon beasts or martial artists wouldn't even notice the formations, let alone break them.

...

A few minutes later, Xiao Yi, traveling at high speed, stopped in front of a large city.

"Black Poison City." Xiao Yi glanced at the plaque on the massive city wall in front of him and nodded slightly.

The Black Poison Pond is the large city where the Black Poison Villa is located.

Its City Lord's Mansion is the Black Poison Villa.

Indeed, the Black Poison Villa is not only a top force but also owns a large city.

The Black Poison Pond is a well-known large city in the Black Cloud Region, with many poison refiners in the city.

It can be said that more than half of the poison refiners in the Black Cloud Region are gathered at the Black Poison Pond.

Swoosh... Xiao Yi flickered and silently entered the Black Poison Pond.

...

Four hours later...

Inside the prohibition formation, Qing Lin spat out a mouthful of black blood, his face pale with a strange purplish-black tint.

"Damn it, my body is increasingly unable to bear it, getting weaker and weaker."

Qing Lin gritted his teeth, wiping the black blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Am I really going to die here..." Qing Lin muttered to himself, frowning tightly.

His unsightly expression carried both distress and contemplation.

"If I'm really going to die, I should leave a farewell letter..."

"But, what should I write..."

Qing Lin frowned, muttering in distress.

Just at this moment, a faint voice came through.

"Just scribble a few lines, Qing Lin's final words, and that's enough."

Swoosh... A figure appeared out of thin air, it was Xiao Yi.

"You're back?" Qing Lin glanced at Xiao Yi, annoyed.

"Failed, didn't you?"

"The Black Poison Villa, a place filled with such strong experts, is not something you can just waltz into."

"Looks like I really need to prepare to write those final words of Qing Lin."

Xiao Yi smiled faintly and took out an elixir pill.

"Take this first, I indeed can't remove the severe poison in your body, but suppressing it for a period is possible."

During those hours, Xiao Yi couldn't think of a way to remove the Black Poison.

But he did think of a way to suppress it.

"This elixir I just refined should help you suppress it for about an hour."

"An hour?" Qing Lin chuckled, "That's enough, enough for me to finish writing the farewell letter."

With that, Qing Lin took the elixir.

Sure enough, within seconds, his aura began to recover.

The pale and purplish face gradually returned to normal.

Crunch... Crunch... Qing Lin clenched his powerful fists, smiling proudly, "Not bad, in such a short time, you even thought of a way to suppress the Black Poison from the Black Poison Saint King."

Xiao Yi shrugged, tossed a set of clothes, and said, "Before writing the farewell letter, I suggest you change clothes first."

Qing Lin glanced at the clothes, his face showing surprise, "These are the disciple clothes of the Black Poison Villa?"

The clothes were entirely black, with symbols clearly belonging to the Black Poison Villa's disciples.

"Where did you get them?" Qing Lin asked, puzzled.

Xiao Yi chuckled, "From the chores department of the Black Poison Villa."

"I also grabbed a couple of tokens while I was at it."

"Change clothes and let's go, it's time to head to the Black Poison Pond to detox."

Upon hearing this, Qing Lin's eyes widened, "Xiao Yi, don't tell me you stealthily infiltrated the Black Poison Villa?"

"The strong experts didn't notice you?"

Xiao Yi shook his head, his expression slightly serious, "The Black Poison Villa is indeed, as you said, filled with experts and heavily guarded."

"However, I didn't see the Black Poison Saint King or those others."

Indeed, during those four hours, Xiao Yi had infiltrated the Black Poison Villa to investigate.

While his stealth skills were high, he was also prepared for the possibility of being discovered by the Black Poison Saint King and other experts, ready for a fierce battle.

However, to his surprise, the Black Poison Saint King and those two middle-aged men were not in the Black Poison Villa.

With such experts absent, Xiao Yi could come and go as he pleased.

...

With the Black Poison temporarily suppressed, Qing Lin restored his strength.

In just a dozen minutes or so, the two had entered Black Poison City and headed straight for the Black Poison Villa.

Since Xiao Yi had been there before, he naturally knew the way.

Another ten minutes passed, and the two silently entered the Black Poison Villa.

"The Black Poison Pond is at the very back of the Black Poison Villa." Xiao Yi whispered.

Qing Lin nodded, amazed, "Kid, did you really map out the entire Black Poison Villa?"

Xiao Yi said nothing.

From time to time, disciples of the Black Poison Villa passed by.

The two kept their heads down, walking quickly, with no one noticing anything unusual.

Until they reached the middle of the villa, a middle-aged man suddenly passed by and stopped them.

"Stop." The middle-aged man barked sharply.

The two narrowed their eyes and halted their steps.

The middle-aged man approached them, "Where are you disciples from? Don't you know that ordinary disciples are not allowed to wander around the villa?"

"This is the area where deacons cultivate, how did it become a place for the two of you?"

This was indeed a restricted area within the villa where ordinary disciples weren't allowed.

The two couldn't help but breathe a small sigh of relief, as they hadn't been discovered after all.

"Hmm, something's not right." The middle-aged man suddenly frowned, "Why do the two of you look so unfamiliar?"

The middle-aged man looked puzzled, staring closely at Xiao Yi and Qing Lin.

Xiao Yi's expression remained unchanged, while Qing Lin appeared slightly worried.

"Deacon, with your daily affairs, it's normal not to recognize the two of us." Xiao Yi said softly.

"Is that so?" The middle-aged man frowned, "I am the Outer Sect Steward, responsible for the entry and arrangement of new disciples, so how come..."

"Deacon." Xiao Yi hurriedly interrupted, "The elder has urgent orders, we must report at once, excuse us."

Xiao Yi quickly said, and with Qing Lin, swiftly moved away.

"Urgent orders from the elder?" The middle-aged man was surprised and did not obstruct them further.

Yet, his face still carried a puzzled look.

As the middle-aged man walked and pondered, suddenly, another disciple hurriedly passed by.

"Stop." The middle-aged man barked sharply, "What are you in such a hurry for?"

"Deacon," the disciple quickly replied, "I have urgent news from the elder; I must report it swiftly."

With that, the disciple saluted and left quickly.

"Another urgent order from the elder?" The middle-aged man scratched his head, "Are there really so many urgent matters for the elders today?"

The middle-aged man shook his head, not thinking too much about it.

Elsewhere, Xiao Yi led Qing Lin directly into the depths of the Black Poison Villa.

"Halt, the Black Poison Pond is a forbidden land, no trespassing allowed."

The Black Poison Pond, located in a secret chamber deep within the villa, was guarded by martial artists at its entrance year-round.

Xiao Yi stepped forward, saying, "The elder has given an order..."

Before he could finish, Xiao Yi flickered, pa... pa... knocking the guards out with a hand chop.

"Seal." Xiao Yi commanded softly, restraining the two who were now unconscious.

"Let's go." Xiao Yi gestured to Qing Lin, quickly stepping inside.

Qing Lin frowned, "Xiao Yi, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

"No." Xiao Yi said with certainty.

The two quickly headed inside.
