Chapter 159 - Poisoning!
"Creak!"
The door to the Phoenix Nest slowly opened.
Tang Huan"s slender figure flashed out from the gap in the door. This phoenix nest was extremely difficult to enter, but it was very easy to exit.
At that moment, Tang Huan carried his blade on his shoulder and his backpack. The wooden chest in the bag already weighed one hundred or two hundred kilograms, and upon leaving, Tang Huan stuffed another piece of the iron ore that he had found at the second level of palace into the bag. As for the remaining iron ore, it was not that he did not want to bring them, but he could not.
Fortunately, after fusing with the "Nirvana Sacred Fire", he could use the pure energy of the Spiritual Fire to open the phoenix nest at any time in the future. It wasn"t like this time, where he had only entered the phoenix nest after exhausting the power of the "Pure Yang Pearl".
After figuring out the origins of those iron ore, he could completely sneak into the phoenix nest in the future and take them all away.
Putting his weapon beside his feet, Tang Huan grabbed the ring on his wrist and closed the door to the phoenix nest. After opening the door, he would actually slowly close it himself, but it would take a long time.
"Hmm?"
Just as he was about to bend down and pick up the Rainbow blade, Tang Huan felt a piercing pain from his palms. He frowned, and immediately looked down and noticed that there were countless fine red blisters forming on his palms, and the blisters were still spreading.
"Could he have been poisoned?"
Tang Huan"s face changed, his eyes looking at the ring. On the surface, the two rings did not show any abnormalities.
However, if it was really poisoned, the poison would definitely be applied to the ring on the door.
This made Tang Huan immediately understand that the person who was poisoned was definitely the one who had followed him outside of the phoenix nest. That person used such a method because he knew that he was in the Phoenix Nest and that he would definitely come out of it. It was also more likely that he would touch the ring.
If it was the Martial Warriors who accidentally discovered this place, the possibility of doing so was very small.
It seemed that if it wasn"t for the phoenix nest door blocking his path, he would have already met with that person.
Tang Huan"s eyes darkened, he thought that he was already cautious enough, he never thought that he would be followed by someone who did not know, and did not know who the person was. Was it an expert of the Star Ocean Commerce, or was it some other Martial Warriors who noticed him on the way?
That person was either far away from the phoenix nest door or was hiding his killing intent. If not, Xiao Budian would have noticed it the moment he opened the door.
Tang Huan"s thoughts quickly spun, but not only did he not panic, his mind had instead become incomparably calm.
When he was a.n.a.lyzing the situation, Tang Huan had already activated his cultivation technique and activated his Genuine Qi. Immediately after, he discovered that what he had been poisoned, not only was the piercing pain on his palms rapidly spread, even the area of the Dantian felt like it was on fire.
That man was very cautious. He had actually poisoned him with two different poisons!
As the Genuine Qi swam, not only did the abnormal state of the Dantian not decrease, it even showed signs of getting worse. In a flash, the "Nine Yang Divine Furnace" inside the Dantian started to rapidly spin, and the "Nirvana Sacred Fire" started to fluctuate rapidly. The extremely hot power of the Spiritual Fire suddenly exploded outwards.
"Ta!" Drip! "Tap …"
Suddenly, from the far end of the cave pa.s.sage, the sound of footsteps could be heard. At first, it was light, but it gradually became louder. It seemed like the person was walking towards the end of the pa.s.sage.
That person was neither fast nor slow. With each step he took, he not only caused the air to echo, but also brought about an increasing sense of oppression. If it was the Martial Warriors with a slightly weaker will, he would have already panicked under such a situation.
Tang Huan"s body did not move at all, he was like a statue.
"Are you little brother Tang Huan?" The footsteps suddenly stopped, and a laugh echoed in the s.p.a.cious cave. The laughter was soft and soft, charming, and captivating.
"Miss Mu Yan?"
Tang Huan finally turned back around, both of his hands in his sleeves, completely concealing his ident.i.ty, and his face revealed a slight smile, as though he was calm and composed.
"He really is a little brother. I never thought that after Phoenix Spirit Valley left us, we would meet again so soon."
Twenty to thirty meters away, Mu Yan once again advanced with a smile like a flower on his face. Beneath his red dress, his slim waist and bottom was swaying back and forth in a coquettish manner.
"Yeah, it was indeed a little faster than I expected."
Tang Huan looked at Mu Yan and laughed, "However, what is even more unexpected is that I met Miss Mu Yan here."
"Indeed, but doesn"t this mean that we are fated to meet?"
"When we were at Feng Ming Valley, I said that I would ask little brother for your help in a short while. Now, it seems that little brother will not be able to escape this favor."
"Oh? What kind of help does Miss Mu Yan need me to do? " Tang Huan said slowly.
"It is very easy for me to ask little brother for help. Little brother, you only need to lend me the bag on you and you have already helped me a lot." Mu Yan let out a charming laugh, and within her beautiful eyes, there seemed to be two clear springs that were fluctuating, with veins that seemed to be able to seep out from their eyes.
"It"s indeed easy to do." Tang Huan smiled indifferently, "Leave the package with me. If Miss Mu Yan wants it, feel free to come and take it."
"That"s great, little brother. Then big sister won"t hold back."
Mu Yan laughed, her footsteps did not stop, when she spoke, she was already less than two meters away from Tang Huan, and the moment she said that, Mu Yan suddenly extended her hand out, a red shadow shot out from her palm, like an arrow leaving the bow, straight towards Tang Huan"s throat.
Tang Huan"s eyes slightly condensed as he raised his right hand at the speed of lightning, and grabbed the tip of the red figure. It was the red ribbon that Mu Yan used in the previous compet.i.tion.
Mu Yan"s face changed slightly, but when she saw Tang Huan"s right hand that was covered in red bubbles, she could not help but laugh: "Little brother, are you unwilling to part with me?" As she spoke, Mu Yan"s jade-like hands trembled, and the red silk that was originally straight started to fluctuate rapidly.
"I am willing to part with it, but I am not willing to part with this little life of mine."
Tang Huan"s expression was calm, but the right palm that was holding onto the tip of the Red Ribbon trembled uncontrollably, as if it could lose control of the Red Ribbon at any time and let it out of his hand. Not only that, Tang Huan"s body also seemed to be swaying slightly, and his footsteps seemed to be floating unsteadily.
"Even if you can"t bear to, you still have to. Little brother, this isn"t up to you!"
Having keenly sensed Tang Huan"s abnormality, Mu Yan was even more a.s.sured. She smiled continuously, with a trace of ecstasy flas.h.i.+ng past her eyes.
In the next moment, Mu Yan"s wrist shook, and after a loud "Bang" sound, the suddenly tightened red silk immediately left Tang Huan"s right hand, and then softened again. Like a spirit serpent, it pa.s.sed through Tang Huan"s right flank and quickly wrapped tightly around his body three times.
"Little brother, come here!"
Mu Yan suddenly pulled on the red silk ribbon, causing Tang Huan to involuntarily leap into the air and charge towards her. In midair, Tang Huan"s expression finally changed greatly, and a look of panic surfaced on his face.
