Chapter 208: Two hundred and eight really saved the day
"Little creature, hurry and devour it!"
As the spectators and several Great Elders with their own agendas surrounded the area, Yun Xiao felt a sense of urgency because the pitch-black deadly poison had already begun to spread up his right arm.
In fact, Yun Xiao’s promise to spare Shen Xiao’s life was not out of a sudden compassion, but rather due to his own plans—to suppress the Golden Snake Worm inside his body.
Regarding this Golden Snake Worm, Yun Xiao had no idea about its origin, nor the purpose of its presence in his body, but he had suffered great loses because of it.
Passing out for a whole year within the Shang Family Snake Nest was only part of it, but what was more alarming was upon waking up, this Golden Snake Worm actually fought with the soul of the Long Xiao Battle God for control over his body, which made Yun Xiao feel quite apprehensive.
This even caused Yun Xiao to spend several months in confusion, eventually captured by the disciples of the Talisman Poison Master and taken back to the Jade Pot Sect for testing poisons on his body, which nearly resulted in his death.
It was precisely because of this poison testing process that Yun Xiao managed to regain control over his body. The Golden Snake Worm also fell into a deep sleep from absorbing too much deadly poison, not causing Yun Xiao any trouble during this period.
However, after several recent intense battles which exhausted a large amount of his Meridian Qi, Yun Xiao noticed that the Golden Snake Worm’s golden glow seemed to intensify, hinting at signs of awakening.
To prevent another battle for control over his body, Yun Xiao had to think of some methods, such as letting the Golden Snake Worm devour the deadly poisonous liquid he had refined.
However, Yun Xiao was somewhat impatient. As the deadly poison spread upward, he shouted inwardly, as if this action could awaken the Golden Snake Worm to start devouring the poison.
