Chapter 64: The Poison Sage Arrives!

  At the mention of the Holy Temple, Ling Wushuang's eyebrows involuntarily furrowed slightly.

  "A million taels of gold" As soon as these soft and boneless words came out, a purple figure appeared at the railing on the left side.

  Her figure is elegant, her face as beautiful as a flower. On the woman's head, a bright red peony is pinned, yet it doesn't look vulgar at all. In the air, there seems to be a subtle, intoxicating fragrance wafting about. Her enchanting fox-like eyes slowly scan the crowd below, and the woman's beautiful lips curve up slightly, as if she's very pleased with the effect she's having.

  This woman is undoubtedly beautiful.

  The old man of the merchant association that day slightly choked, then reacted and laughed loudly: "One million two gold, is there anyone who can offer a higher price?"

  The people below fell silent, and Shuixian'er smiled softly.

  "This woman's aura is a bit strange" Ling Wusuo looked at Ji Yunyang with some confusion, he should know something.

  "It's because her cultivation method is not ordinary" Ji Yunyang patted his sleeve, changed to a comfortable posture and sat down, saying slowly: "Shuixian'er is the treasure in the hands of the elders of the Holy Hall"

  "She was hailed as the First Genius of the Holy Temple, and at the age of fifteen, she had already reached the Tianxuan stage. Now, at the age of twenty-five, she has become a Nine-Peak Tianxuan, on the verge of breaking through to the Sacred Stage."

  "Nine Heavens Supreme Mystery?" Ling Wu's slender fingers tapped her sharp chin, it seemed that this Water Fairy still had some skills.

  Ji Yun Yang slightly shrugged her shoulders, with a hint of disdain in her tone, and lightly laughed: "In the Holy Temple, there are many capable people, Water Fairy is indeed formidable, but she can become the Holy Maiden mainly because her master is not ordinary."

  "Her master?"

  Ji Yunyang, this kid, although he was taken in as a disciple by the Saint Hall's elder, after returning, seemed unwilling to mention that place, and this is the first time I've heard him bring it up.

  Her master was one of the four elders of the Holy Temple, a high-ranking saint with the title of "Poison Saint White Robe". Ji Yunyang nodded slightly, her face seeming somewhat gloomy.

  After a slight hesitation, Ji Yunyang continued: "Bai Zhutian's poisonous skills are incredibly powerful and have reached an unprecedented level. Even my master, Huo Sheng, the eldest of the Holy Hall, has to show him some respect. This Water Fairy is even more terrifying, having received his true teachings, her methods are extremely ruthless. In the Holy Hall, even some elder-level figures do not dare to provoke her easily."

  "Poison Saint White Fur Sky, Holy Girl Water Fairy". Ling Wu Xiang seemed to be lost in thought.

  "By the way Musou, during this time, you must be careful." Ji Yunyang's tone suddenly became somewhat worried.

  "Me?" Ling Wu Xuan raised an eyebrow, where did this come from?

  "This Shuixian'er and the Li Mei'er of the Huguo Fu have some connections, but I don't know what she's doing in Donglin this time." Ji Yun's eyebrows furrowed, his tone taking a turn. "But that's not the most troublesome part - now that she's in Donglin, her master, the Poison Saint, might appear at any moment... and it seems like Bai Zhutian owes Li Tianyi a favor from a few years ago..."

  The words behind, Ji Yunyang did not say explicitly, but this meaning has already been understood without being said.

  Li Tianyi has already declared that he and the Ling family cannot coexist, Shuixian'er and Li Mei'er have some friendship, plus Duxing owes a favor to the Huguo Mansion, if he comes at this time, things will be troublesome.

  "The temple" Ling Wu Shuang's clear eyes were dim and dark.

  Every time the old man mentions Sheng Tang, he is hesitant to speak. The things that happened in the Ling family more than a decade ago are probably related to them. Even if they don't show up, she will find them sooner or later!

  "Then I'll give in." Shuixian leaned against the railing, her charm overflowing.

  At this time, a rather delighted voice came from beside Shuixian'er, accompanied by a bright and loud laughter. "So, young master, you've come from afar without even notifying me, letting the Hu Guo Fu exhaust its hospitality."

  Li Tianyi said, and he had already walked out of the VIP seat, stretched his slightly hunched back, and smiled with a hint of flattering on his old face.

  "Who is this girl, that the Sword Saint would be so enthusiastic about her?"

  "It's true, let alone princes and princesses, even the emperor himself might be unable to handle it. It seems this young lady has a big background."

  "She's so beautiful and has a special status, I don't know who will be lucky enough to have her in the future."

  "Toad wants to eat swan meat, you can forget about it"

  ……

  The people around were puzzled by Li Tianyi's friendly attitude, and they speculated about Shuixian'er's identity. Especially some men, looking at Shuixian'er leaning on the railing, with her curvaceous figure, their eyes almost popped out.

  If it weren't for her strength being evident, I'm afraid someone would have already made a move.

  The fairy turned to see the newcomer, her throat issuing a few soft, throaty laughs. "So it's the Sword Saint of Donglin, how polite of you. I was thinking of visiting in a few days, but I didn't expect to run into you here."

  Li Tianyi burst out laughing, "Oh, modest nephew, why don't you come to the Guardian Temple to rest today? Can your master also come along?"

  The master arrived later, and Shuixian'er chuckled a few times, responding: "This is also good. I don't know if Meier sister is doing well. It's been several years since we last met, so today is a great opportunity to catch up."

  Just then, as soon as Xian'er mentioned Mei'er, Li Tianyi's face suddenly fell, his eyes scanning a certain direction, and he said harshly: "Mei'er was injured by a little thief and is now recovering at home."

  He's already gone, and Li Tianyi couldn't utter these few words no matter what.

  His two grandsons, Minghui is unable to speak, Meier's meridians are all broken, and there is no way to save him, he has become a useless person. Until now, they are still struggling on the edge of life and death. In front of so many people, how can he have the face to say it?

  All of this is because of Ling Wushuang!

  "Oh?" Shuixian'er was slightly surprised, stroking a strand of hair, twirling it between her fingers, seemingly not paying much attention, her voice soft and gentle, "In Donglin, there's actually someone who can hurt Meier sister?"

  "Ling Wushuang, that little thief, is so treacherous and despicable. At such a young age, she's already ruthless and cruel, and she even stole the Li family's martial arts techniques. How could Mei'er be her match?" Li Tian hummed coldly twice, his aged eyes revealing a fierce glint that couldn't be hidden.

  Although Li Tianyi had intentionally guided her, Shuixian'er really did take an interest in the person he mentioned.

  Even among the older generation in Donglin, those who can surpass Li Mei'er are few and far between, let alone the younger generation.

  "Li Tianyi, don't you have any shame? The young can't beat the old, and now one person can't win, but still wants to drag others down with him, taking advantage of being in a group?"

  Upon hearing such shameless words, Ji Yun Yang suddenly stood up from her seat, walked out of the VIP lounge with slow steps, her tone unpleasant, not giving Li Tian Yi any face at all. The deep red headband on her forehead set off a handsome face, looking somewhat cold and detached.

  "It's just that, as the great Sword Saint, he doesn't have even a bit of the demeanor of a strong person"

  "The last thing, the Guardian Office still has the face to mention"

  ……

  Some people below still remember the life-and-death struggle, although Li Tianyi's identity is there, but they snorted at his inverted black and white words, whispering to each other.

  Shuixian'er heard the voice, her expression finally changed a bit, twisting her waist and turning sideways to look in the direction of the sound. In an instant, she was all smiles, "It's actually Cloud Yang Shidi, it's been many days since we last met, making Shijie miss you terribly."

  The fleeting cold smile on Water Fairy's lips was so fast that it almost seemed like an illusion.

  Ji Yunyang let out a cold laugh, her tone somewhat sarcastic. "Sister Shui actually has the leisure time to visit our humble place, Donglin Kingdom is truly flourishing."

  This narcissus is thinking of his early death, if he doesn't die, she fears that she will be unable to eat or sleep.

  "Girl, if you dare to speak out of turn again, don't blame me for being impolite." Ji Yunyang had repeatedly spoken up for Ling Wushuang three times, and Li Tianyi had already been unable to bear it. If he hadn't considered his complicated identity, he would have probably taken action long ago.

  "Li Tianyi, the one who needs to be careful with words and actions is yourself. Those who do evil will eventually perish." A cold and clear female voice came from behind Ji Yunyang.

  Ling Wushuang stepped down from the VIP seat, walked slowly from the dimly lit corridor to the bright railing, and opened his mouth with a sarcastic tone: "When people get old, they should stay at home and take good care of themselves. Relying on their age is not a long-term plan."

  The enemy met face to face, Li Tian's old face turned green with rage, gritting his teeth and saying: "Ling Wushuang"

  If Ling Wushuang hadn't been there, how would Ji Yunyang's child have dared to oppose the Guardian Office for no reason and let him waste another million taels of gold? It must be her instigation!

  "You're... Ling Wushuang?" Shuixian'er turned her gaze to the girl standing beside Ji Yuyang, and for some reason, her eyes suddenly turned cold!

  The crowd below suddenly felt it too. The smell of gunpowder in the air was overwhelming. After a moment's thought, they suddenly understood and looked up at the two people, sizing them up from left to right.

  Two women standing relatively, both are absolutely beautiful.

  The beauty of Narcissus lies in its elegant and natural plumpness, with straight long legs, a pair of jade rabbits surging forward on its chest, setting off its delicate makeup and facial features as smooth as a peach blossom, like a majestic and fragrant peony, blooming proudly.

  Ling Wushuang, only fifteen or sixteen years old, had a face with slightly immature lines, outlining an absolutely beautiful and elegant appearance. Her delicate features didn't need any makeup, her bare face was like a work of art carefully crafted by heaven, the cherry-red corners of her lips always had a hint of a smile, as elusive as a snow lotus blooming on a snowy mountain.

  However, without comparison, there is no gap. Looking at Shuixian'er alone, her charming and seductive appearance is unmatched, her perfect figure makes people's heart itch with desire. But when Ling Wushuang stands here, her cold and proud face is like a basin of cold water poured on the raging fire, instantly drenching someone to the bone.

  Facing the unfriendly gaze of Shuixian'er, as well as the pressure she was releasing in secret, Ling Wusuo's red lips curled up slightly, and a surge of energy burst out from her delicate body, directly attacking her face.

  "Bang—"

  Two terrifying dark energies collided in mid-air, almost rubbing out tangible sparks.

  Xian'er's smile remained unchanged, but her heart tightened, impossible, she must have felt wrong, Ling Wusuo was only this old and already a high-ranking Tianxuan!

  She quickly regained her composure, not showing any signs of displeasure on her face. Her index finger lightly touched her lips as she smiled and said: "You indeed have some skills, no wonder Meier sister lost to you."

  The ruthless glint at the bottom of Shuixian'er's eyes flashed by quickly, and a Ji Yuyang appeared, snatching away not a small amount of attention in the holy hall. Now, another woman has appeared!

  Is she a genius? Why does she always give me a feeling of wanting to strangle her?

  "You're a great opponent, I really look forward to competing with you." Water Fairy's tongue tip lightly licked the corner of her lips, how could she possibly let such a genius grow up and surpass her, Water Fairy?

  Ling Wushuang smiled calmly, with an inexplicable tone: "Just right, I'm looking forward to it too."

  Boring people, why are there so many of them?

  "Invincible, don't be impulsive." Ji Yunyang furrowed his brow.

  He was right, if Shuixian'er saw Wúshuāng, she would definitely be unable to resist the urge to poison him!

  He had just entered the Holy Hall when, if not for Master Ming's subtle protection, he would have been killed by Shuixian'er countless times. How could she tolerate Wúshuāng?!

  Moreover, Shuixian'er's poisonous skills were extremely strange and unpredictable. Having obtained the true transmission of the Poison Saint, even if she was at the same level as Li Mei'er, both being at the 9th rank of Tianxuan, her combat strength was far beyond what Li Mei'er could compare to!

  Ling Wushuang furrowed his brow and said softly to Ji Yunyang beside him, "Don't worry, I have a plan."

  "Hahaha... Hohoho" Shuixian'er burst into a fit of giggles, her eyes slanted towards Ling Wusuo, her voice rising higher and higher until she finally laughed out loud. She laughed and said: "You have some guts, but do you know who I am?"

  "Is there a difference?" Ling Wu asked calmly.

  "Narcissus, don't be too excessive! Don't forget, this is Donglin, not a sacred hall!" Ji Yunyang's voice suddenly rose, wanting to hurt Wu Shuang, but also asking if Ji Yunyang agreed or not!

  "Water Fairy, is the holy maiden of the Holy Temple, Water Fairy" There were people around her, and suddenly a scream was heard.

  "What, a holy maiden of the sacred hall? It's all over, Ling Wushuang is done for. The Ling family will probably suffer too."

  "Exactly, who dares to provoke the holy temple?"

  ……

  The identity of Narcissus was exposed, and the people around him were shocked.

  That is the mysterious holy temple that transcends the four countries, and the holy maiden of the temple is equivalent to the princess of the temple. Touching her would be like stirring up a hornet's nest - who dares to provoke her?!

  "Yun Yang, this is not what I meant." Shui Xian'er slowly retracted her smile, playing with her own fingernails. "It's rare to meet an opponent who can still see reason, Eldest Sister. I just wanted to make friends."

  Xian'er's face smiled charmingly, but in her heart, she was coldly laughing. Ji Yunyang, who was proud and aloof in the Holy Hall, never thought that today she would be protecting a small Ling Wushuang like this. If he insisted on helping, it would only add to her troubles.

  "Yun Yang's junior brother has been away for a long time, and both Master and senior sister are missing him very much. However, as for catching up, let me, senior sister, resolve this trouble first, then we can slowly chat."

  Ling Wushuang crossed his arms over his chest, turned sideways and whispered a sentence, "Ji Yunyang, you'd better not interfere with this matter."

  Fear? She doesn't even know what fear is!

  Even if Shuixian didn't look for trouble today, she would eventually come knocking on the door. Moreover, considering Ji Yuyang's complicated relationship with the Holy Temple, it was best not to drag him into her affairs.

  But unexpectedly, Ling Wushuang's words were met with a cold glance from Ji Yunyang, who hummed in anger, seemingly still holding a grudge, and said firmly: "Wushuang, I will absolutely not stand idly by when it comes to your affairs."

  Ling Wushuang was stunned for a moment, and then, the smile at the corner of his lips slowly spread out. It wasn't noticeable, but this little guy was quite stubborn.

  The two of them exchanged a glance, and suddenly Xi Yun Yang's eyes lit up - how could he have forgotten this matter!

  Ji Yunyang smiled and winked at Ling Wushuang, then turned to look at Shuixian'er with a rather pleased smile, "Shuixian'er, even if your master, the Poison Saint, were here today, he wouldn't dare to easily harm Wushuang."

  "Is that so?" Shuixian'er didn't seem to care, blowing on her fingernails. "I still don't know of anyone in the four nations who can move my master."

  Who else can't be moved besides the Holy Master and the Venerable Master?

  Ji Yun Yang smiled slowly, "Wu Shuang..."

  "Hahaha——"

  Ji Yunyang's words had barely fallen when a loud, manic laughter suddenly erupted from around them.

  A terrifying aura, like a flood, followed and instantly filled the entire hall. Ling Wu's eyebrows slightly moved, even she felt a bit suffocated in her heart. The people under Tian Xuan fainted directly!

  "Bad!" At the same time as his heart sank, Ji Yunyang's face changed greatly. This was truly a big trouble now.

  A chilly whirlwind passed by, and in the blink of an eye, a figure appeared beside Shuixian'er.

  A man wore a deep brown Taoist robe, with a sturdy and tall build, about fifty years old. His skin had an abnormal deep red color, with two wisps of eight-shaped whiskers, his whole body exuded an aura that was oppressive and unfathomable.

  Ling Wu's lips were pursed into a thin line, this person was a high-ranking saint!

  "Master, you've finally arrived!" Shuixian'er saw the person who came and immediately went up to welcome him with joy, pulling his arm and acting coquettishly.

  Seeing the arrival of the visitor, Li Tianyi also hurriedly went forward to greet him, cupping his hands and saying: "It's actually Brother Bai, it's been many years since we last met, I didn't expect you to have made new breakthroughs again, truly a joyous occasion"

  The person who came was one of the four elders of the Holy Hall, also known as the master of Shuixian'er, Poison Saint Bai Jutian!

  Du Sheng stood with his hands behind his back, suddenly waving his sleeve robe, and said politely: "Ben Sheng came to the East Bank, originally planning to spend some time visiting Li Brother at his doorstep, but didn't expect to meet him here"

  "It's actually Poison Saint Bai Zhan Tian, I've long heard of your great name!" The people around were pressed by the heavy momentum, making it hard for them to breathe.

  Li Tianyi and Bai Zhutian exchanged pleasantries, but if you listened carefully, Li Tianyi's politeness was genuine, while the Poison Saint spoke with an air of superiority.

  "What's Xian'er doing here, joining in on the excitement?" The tone of Du Sheng towards Shui Xian'er was one of great fondness.

  Shuixian'er pouted, her eyes lightly glancing at Ling Wushuang, and coquettishly said: "Master, I found a fun woman, want to play with her"

  That high and mighty tone, as if she had discovered a fun toy or something.

  Du Sheng shook his sleeve, stroked the head of Shui Xian'er, and chuckled twice. Then, he raised his eyes to look at the person opposite him, and his tone suddenly became stern. "Ji Yunyang, you don't even know how to greet your master's brother? Is this how your master taught you?"

  "Ji Yunyang, you go first." Ling Wushuang thought to himself and gave Ji Yunyang a signal with his eyes, letting him find an opportunity to leave first.

  The gap between Du Sheng and Li Tianyi's abilities is simply worlds apart, and they can't be mentioned in the same breath.

  It's another story to be fearless, knowing you can't win a fight but still wanting to go up against it. She's not that stupid, however, if she wants to escape, even the Poison Saint himself couldn't stop her!

  Who would have thought that Ji Yunyang, upon hearing this, gave Ling Wushuang a stare that could kill, causing Ling Wushuang to almost spit out blood. This kid is usually clever, but at critical moments, why does he become so muddle-headed?!

  Ji Yunyang's face sank, just about to speak, when he heard the Poison Saint let out a cold hum, standing with his back to them, hands behind his back, saying disdainfully: "And you just said that even if I came personally, I couldn't touch this little yellow-haired girl. I'd like to see what kind of background she has."

  Ji Yunyang moved forward, bearing the intimidating pressure, and said in a deep voice: "Wu Shuang is the only disciple of Tian Ye, even if the Holy Master were here, he would have to weigh his words carefully."

  "Tiān Yè Yún!" The Poison Saint's face turned extremely ugly upon hearing Tiān Yè Yún's name, his gaze fell on Líng Wú Shuāng, and his tone became somewhat sinister, "I didn't expect that the aloof and unapproachable Tiān Yè Yún would also have a disciple."

  Tian Ye Yun killed three elders of his holy temple, this debt will be paid back sooner or later!

  The Water Fairy's face looked extremely unpleasant, "Are you a disciple of Tian Ye Yun?"

  Even Sheng Zhu, who has always been cautious with Tian Ye and Yun, can't blame Ji Yunyang for saying that. What to do? Is it really going to let her go today?

  No, she is not reconciled!

  "That's right" Ling Wu's eyebrows slightly raised, she is the teacher's disciple, there's nothing wrong with admitting it.

  "The heavens are dark...". The Poison Saint's lips, which had turned somewhat black, slowly spread into a ruthless and poisonous smile. Suddenly, he spoke in a harsh tone: "That's perfect, you're his disciple. Since Heaven's Night Cloud killed someone, I'll take your life as compensation!"

  "Bai Jiaotian, you dare!" Ji Yunyang's heart was greatly shocked, never expecting the Poison Saint to be so unscrupulous!

  In the blink of an eye, he suddenly understood that this person in front of him was not someone else, but the ruthless and cunning Poison Saint!

  If it were Shuixian'er, she might have retreated today. Even if it's the Holy Master, there may be some reservations. However, Duxing has always been jealous of Tianye Laoshi. Now that Tianye Laoshi is not around, this is the perfect opportunity to get rid of his only disciple. How could he possibly let Wú Shuāng go?!

  Ji Yunyang's face turned red with anger, and he shouted: "You're despicable! How dare you make a move in front of Teacher Tianye!"

  "Ji Yunyang, you dare to be so presumptuous!" The Poison Saint's voice was stern and menacing as he suddenly appeared in front of Ling Wushuang, his tone dark and ominous. "In this world, there is no one that the Poison Saint dares not to move against."

  Before he could finish speaking, his withered hand transformed into a claw and shot towards Ling Wu's snow-white neck, causing her pupils to shrink suddenly.

  No choice, let's go!

  Ling Wushuang was just about to make a run for it when the Poison Saint suddenly appeared in front of him, his entire body stiff like a wooden puppet, his withered claw-like hands frozen in mid-air, and his dark red mouth still hanging open in a comical manner.

  Ling Wushuang blinked, a sudden inexplicable feeling, what's going on?

  "You're quite bold, how dare you take action?"

  The low, husky male voice was like a distant sky, filling all directions, seemingly carrying a hint of ridicule and disdain. The cold, harsh tone was light, faint, without any pressure, yet it made the people around him feel as if they had fallen into an abyss!
