Chapter 781: Poisoning
After being questioned by the ancestor of his sect, Tang Yuan had no other choice but tell everything that had happened to the Hidden Tang Sect after they were attacked by those groups and the disappearance of Tang Yuyi and her younger sister. It seems that to survive in the Immortal World without the protection of their ancestors, they can only move out of the Inner Haven and head to the Outer Haven where the influence of those from the middle region is out of reach. However, this also meant that they had lost their original territory and had to start from scratch. Thankfully, all the treasures and blueprints of Tang Sect’s hidden weapons were taken away by them. Though the most treasured weapon had disappeared with their ancestors.
"After the ancestor took most of the enemies that day, we were able to escape from the Inner Haven and head to the Outer Haven. Though we had to begin from scratch, what I’ve learned from masters and the blueprints we had taken away had brought the Hidden Tang Sect back to where we are today. However, old enemies like the Du Clan keep coming for us. They actually got demoted as well as they failed to complete their mission making the Immortal Star Emperor think they are not up to the task and were removed from the circle of the Inner Haven," The current Sect Master Tang Yuan said. "The Du clan had been like this but some of the powers in the Outer Haven started to suppress us as well. Poisoning my wife is the only problem. Most of the youngsters of the clan had been bullied in a way."
Tang Yuyi upon hearing that her people were being bullied angered her so much that she emits an aura powerful enough to make the people in the hall shiver. Even though she hasn’t reached the King realm yet, her foundation had solidified further after being cured by the Mistress.
"What a daring thing to do?!" Tang Yuyi said.
Her eyes darted to where the Du Clan was even using her aura to suppress them. But it seems that she had underestimated the leader of the Du Clan and the two of them are in the same realm causing too much commotion before the auction even began. Moreover, as if affected by something, it seems that Tang Yuyi was poisoned and it was the Du Clan’s doing as for how they did it, it might be through the members of the Hidden Tang Sect. They seem to not only poison the wife of Tang Yuan but everyone who got near the madam was poisoned as well.
Meanwhile, Yue Xuexia, Elf King Andromeda, Ye Zhiya and the rest had just reached the private room prepared for them. The room was big enough for the number of their group and an open veranda was located at the edge allowing them to see the stage where the items will be auctioned. Unlike the other tables, this room was completely different from the rest. If there were ordinary snacks served to the other floors, only exquisite ones were placed on the table of this room.
"Goddess, my lord, little prince, this servant will remain on standby outside, please summon me anytime," said the old man gatekeeper who escorted them to this place.
The Moon Goddess seems to be satisfied with the privacy of the room and gives the old man a jade bottle with high grade Qi gathering pills. Though Qi Gathering pills are ordinary pills, the purity of this one is hundred percent. It’s a treasure that can be eaten without worrying about impurity. It’s the most useful for low realms cultivators and youngsters.
"Thank you for the gift, Goddess!"
After the old man steward had got out of the room, Yue Xuexia noticed the commotion outside. She felt the two aura’s clashing and one of them happened to be Grandma Tang. Moreover, it was grandma Tang who was about to lose. She observed the aura of Tang Yuyi and noticed that she was poisoned. Not only her but everyone on the same table as her.
The Moon Goddess mumbles, "Poison?"
She glanced at the Elf King Andromeda and said, "Great Grandfather, capture that man. He poisoned Grandma Tang and Grandpa Tan." Yue Xuexia noticed the aura around one man similar to the poison around her people.
"Leave it to me~"
Elf King Andromeda smiled at his great granddaughter’s words. Since he had told her to ask for his help while she was still healing, she truly took advantage of it and would ask him to do this and do that. However, these actions show that his great granddaughter had trusted him enough to do things for her. She usually does things on her own and sometimes even without asking help towards her own people.
With the interference of a King realm cultivator like Elf King Andromeda, a heavy pressure fell on the three representatives of the Du Clan. With such a huge gap in power, the three men fell kneeling on the ground unable even to lift their heads up.
Ugh~
’King realm!? How can there be a King Realm in a place like this!?’
This is everyone’s thoughts after feeling the aura that spreads in the area. They were all terrified as most King realm cultivators live in the Core Haven together with those at Emperor and Tribulation realms.
The Moon Goddess speaks up, "This is the first time someone dares to move this Empress’s people."
She directly teleported and appeared on the table where Grandma Tang and Grandpa Tan were staying. With a wave of her hand a golden aura surrounded the five men on the table and detoxified the poison on their bodies. It might be invisible in people’s naked eyes but before the Heavenly Eyes of the Moon Gods no secret can be hidden.
"To even use poison. Are you gonna confess what you have done?" The Moon Goddess said while looking at the Du clan’s representative.
Grandpa Tan asked, "Mistress, we are... poisoned?"
"You are. The source of poison is this man, but it wasn’t a poison he made. There must be someone poisoned in his family and this poison lingers in his body. It cannot be removed by water or wind, the kind of poison that attaches itself to someone’s aura. This is a poison created aura, it’s a demonic technique and only light elemental techniques can remove it." The Moon Goddess said.
Upon hearing the explanation of the Moon Goddess everyone understood what is happening and that the Du Clan is practicing some aura poison which is considered a demonic technique. The Elf King had lessened the aura he used to suppress the Du Clan allowing them to speak up.
"You are speaking nonsense!"
"Just because you say so is it true! Can you even see it?!"
The two youngsters from the Du Clan bellowed. They were angered by the accusation of the woman who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. However, they didn’t notice that the senior that came with them had turned completely silent when he heard about the words this lady had said. He couldn’t understand why someone this young is able to see through his poison while no one else in his clan did. Moreover, the existence of the King realm Cultivator, he is sure that whoever had suppressed him was someone from this woman’s side.
With slightly glowing golden eyes, Yue Xuexia stares at the three people from the Du Clan. Everyone had recognized what kind of special eyes this young lady possessed.
"Heavenly eyes... It is truly Heavenly Eyes!?"
"It’s a divine eye that can see through all the secrets of the world!"
"Divine Eyes! Oh my God!"
"Then she is telling the truth. How can someone with Heavenly Eyes tell a lie? She would get struck by lightning."
Now everyone is looking at the table of Du Clan as if seeing someone who is demonic. The kind that can poison someone through aura alone. They collectively move away from their table as if looking at a person causing a plague.
"Nonsense! This is slander!"
"You are making our Du Clan’s reputation bad!"
"You are a witch! A wit...Arg!"
A heavy pressure made the young man who called the Moon Goddess a witch kiss the ground. The Elf King Andromeda can ignore most things but he will never let someone treat his descendant like this. He finally showed himself and flew down from the private room looking down on the Du Clan’s three members with a cold gaze.
"Did you call the great granddaughter of this king a witch? Can your Du Clan offend this king!?" Lord Andromeda said.
The moment he appeared everyone was stunned to finally see the King Realm cultivator. Who would have expected it was the Elf they had seen passing through before. It was only then did they remember who this Elf King and this veiled lady was. They are the Special VIP guests of the Auction Hall and the only one invited to a private room. Most people in the area showed respect to the Elf King that appeared before the hall. They clasped their hands into greeting.
