Soul Emperor Martial God

The two of them left the Black Poison Pond, just about to walk out of the formation.

Suddenly...

"Hmm?" Qing Lin furrowed his brows, pausing his steps.

Xiao Yi also frowned and stopped in his tracks.

"Is there some sound?" Qing Lin turned his head with doubt.

"No mistake." Xiao Yi shook his head, "It's just very faint."

Xiao Yi closed his eyes to sense, "The aura is also very weak."

The two frowned, stopping suddenly because they heard some unusual movements in this quiet place.

Qing Lin was puzzled.

But Xiao Yi was certain he wasn't mistaken.

"Let's go have a look." Xiao Yi turned around and walked back.

At the same time, he extended his senses and continued forward.

The entire hidden chamber was very spacious.

The large Black Poison Pond was just a part of it.

The two bypassed the Black Poison Pond and stopped once again.

In front of them was nothingness, Qing Lin frowned again, "Is it a barrier or prohibition?"

"It's a formation." Xiao Yi squinted his eyes.

In his perception, behind the Black Poison Pond, in the empty area ahead, obvious formation power fluctuations existed.

"The formation isn't very strong, it's just an ordinary trapped formation." Xiao Yi frowned.

Normally, with his perception, he should have detected the formation's existence earlier.

However, Qing Lin previously had a poison outbreak, and he was in a hurry to detoxify him.

Then he was immersed in cultivation.

That's why he didn't notice it in time.

"Break it for me." Xiao Yi said in a low voice.

Now, such an ordinary formation couldn't stop Xiao Yi at all.

The formation was broken instantly, and as the formation barrier shattered, a massive creature appeared before them.

In almost an instant, this massive creature charged at them.

"Be careful, it's the Black Cloud Poison Python." Qing Lin exclaimed, taking a sudden step forward, launching a palm strike.

The Black Cloud Poison Python, infamous in the Black Cloud Region.

Ranked at the pinnacle of the Saint Realm, its entire body, including its poison teeth and skin, contained deadly poisons.

Even ordinary Saint King Realm demon beasts must retreat at the sight of it.

Sizzle... sizzle...

Several streaks of blood light flashed.

The Black Cloud Poison Python was instantly dismembered.

Currently, Qing Lin was at the Second Layer of the Saint King Realm, with amazing skills and combat power.

Instantly killing the Black Cloud Poison Python was understandable.

Hiss... hiss...

At the same time, a corrosive sound came from Qing Lin's claws.

A bit of the Black Cloud Poison Python's blood splashed onto his palm.

However, at this moment, a piece of azure scale enveloped his palm.

The venomous blood did not harm the azure scale in the slightest.

Xiao Yi looked at Qing Lin in surprise.

To this day, he still couldn't tell what kind of demon beast Martial Soul Qing Lin possessed, but it was so powerful.

The hard scales and exceptionally sharp blood light, which instantly dismembered the Black Cloud Poison Python.

"Hmm?" At this moment, Xiao Yi suddenly exclaimed.

As the Black Cloud Poison Python was dismembered, black blood flowed out.

Along with the flowing blood, flesh from within the python, and... something unidentifiable.

"A person?" Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, took a step forward, and looked closely.

Indeed, that mass was a person, although it was already a bloody mess.

The toxins inside the Black Cloud Poison Python were extraordinarily terrifying.

Xiao Yi glanced a few times, his face suddenly turned cold, "Recently dead, less than a minute ago."

"If I'm not mistaken, this Black Cloud Poison Python is a pet of the Black Poison Saint King, right?" Qing Lin's eyes also turned cold.

If they were not mistaken, the faint sound they heard earlier must have come from the owner of this corpse.

In other words, just moments ago, this corpse was still alive, but could only weakly struggle and call out with feeble breath.

Inside this trapped formation, faced with the Black Cloud Poison Python, fearfully swallowed alive.

Then inside the Black Cloud Poison Python, suffered extreme toxin torment, dying quickly.

"Wait, this is..." Qing Lin's expression suddenly changed, staring intensely at the token hanging on the corpse's waist.

The token was entirely black, but Qing Lin recognized it at a glance.

Xiao Yi also recognized it at once.

Because it was precisely a token of the Black Cloud Academy disciple.

"Damn, that's the token of my Black Cloud Academy." Killing intent surged in Qing Lin's eyes instantly.

Xiao Yi looked around, inside this trapped formation, it was clearly another hidden chamber.

Besides the Black Cloud Poison Python, there was also a large number of poisonous creatures and venomous beasts.

However, these ordinary venomous beasts, intimidated by the presence of Xiao Yi and Qing Lin, dared not act recklessly.

Around these poisonous creatures, there were also corpses lying around.

Qing Lin's face was cold, he flashed and came to examine the corpses.

After a while, his expression became increasingly colder.

Because, in his hand, he had already found six tokens of Black Cloud Academy disciples.

"So they were here." Qing Lin gritted his teeth, letting out an angry roar.

"What?" Xiao Yi asked in confusion.

Qing Lin's face was livid, "Earlier, a few days ago, the academy had discovered some disciples lost contact."

"The academy investigated, but found no clues, and since those disciples hadn't been missing long, it didn't investigate deeply."

"Unexpectedly, they're here."

"The academy and Black Poison Villa had no enmity, why capture these disciples?"

Xiao Yi glanced at the corpses, saying, "If I'm right, the Black Poison Saint King used them to test poisons."

"Test poisons, what do you mean?" Qing Lin furrowed his brow.

Xiao Yi thought for a moment, then spoke in a deep voice, "If you had doubts, what would you do?"

"When you've resolved those doubts, but remain uncertain, what would you do then?"

"Of course, perhaps you had an insight, an advancement in martial arts, what would you do?"

Qing Lin answered without hesitation, "Naturally, find someone to spar with, that's the best way."

Xiao Yi nodded, "Then if the one having martial arts questions or insights is a Poison Refiner?"

"Find someone to test poisons with." Qing Lin squinted his eyes.

"Exactly." Xiao Yi nodded, "Poison Refiners also have questions on the path of poison."

"They find people to test poisons, just like normal martial artists undergo battle training."

"But why specifically our academy's disciples?" Qing Lin said solemnly, "There are plenty of martial artists in the Black Cloud Region."

Xiao Yi shook his head, saying, "If you sought someone to fight, would you find an ordinary martial artist? You would find an opponent similar to yourself."

"The Black Poison Saint King is no different."

"However, in the entire Black Cloud Region, there aren't many martial artists on the same level as the Black Poison Saint King."

"Such martial artists, he couldn't possibly capture for poison testing."

Xiao Yi didn't continue, but Qing Lin understood.

The disciples of Black Cloud Academy were all exceptional, skilled and with significant cultivation.

Of course, this was merely Xiao Yi's conjecture.

But Xiao Yi believed he was not mistaken, and whether he guessed correctly or not wasn't important.

Because, these academy disciples died here, that was an undeniable fact.

"Xiao Yi." Qing Lin was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked directly at Xiao Yi, and said.

"I may not leave Black Poison Villa with you."

"Later, you should go first."

"What do you plan to do?" Xiao Yi squinted his eyes.

"Heh." A sinister smile appeared on Qing Lin's lips, "From today on, there will be no more Black Poison Villa."
