Phoenix Destroyer
12. Cold Poison

"We have information about the city lord's poison." Kong Li lowered his voice, only for Servant Xia to hear.

Servant Xia's pupils shrank.

His eyes looked at the two people who were throwing bombs, back and forth.

Feng Mo and Kong Li stared back at Servant Xia without feeling guilty.

"Are you what you said?" Soon Servant Xia returned her serious face.

As the serious Head of the household, Servant Xia had the ability to change faces as quickly as flipping a book.

"We're sure about what we said." Kong Li said calmly.

Looking at the attitude of the two, Servant Xia could not think, what made the two of them so brave.

Maid Xia gazed towards Kong Li, he had found Kong Li's cultivation level rise from the start.

To rise from a low-grade Foundation to the peak of a Foundation within a year, this cultivation speed could be said to be against the heavens.

Moreover, he had not seen clearly before, now Servant Xia saw the lifespan of his second bone which turned out to be very young.

Kong Li deliberately showed his cultivation behavior.

"You said to have information about the City Lord's poison, what information do you have?" After a short silence, Servant Xia let out her voice.

"We can say it, but we want to see the City Lord first."

"If you're not allowed in?"

Kong Li smiled. "We're not forcing."

Servant Xia frowned. "How sure are you?"

"Seventy points, the rest are waiting to see the condition of the City Lord."

"Because you're so sure, why are you just coming now?" To be able to give over fifty points, both of them must have known some guesses long ago.

"Servant Xia believes if the one who said was a low-level cultivator? Who isn't even an alchemist?"

Maid Xia was stunned. The middle-aged man had only realized that the two of them were not wearing any alchemist emblem on the robe or accessory.

He was too focused on the other party's sentence.

Grit ones teeth. "Since you're not an alchemist, how do you know about the poison?"

Kong Li still looked calm. "Let's see how the old city lord is?"

Maid Xia narrowed his eyes. Both of them hit a dead end for a moment.

"You wait a minute." Waiter Xia made up his mind, he wanted to bet.

The current state of the City Lord could not wait anymore. He sent a sound talisman into the mansion, after a while a reply came.

"You're coming with me."

"Please, Waiter Xia."

With the permission of the head of the household, Feng Mo and Kong Li managed to enter the mansion.

Feng Mo silently gave his thumbs to Kong Li.

Kong Li simply puffed out his chest proudly, not recalling that a moment before his back let out a cold sweat.

The three people walked through some very large courtyards.

The complex of the mansion of the ruler of Haicheng was comparable to the palaces belonging to the mortal kingdom.

Along the way, Feng Mo and Kong Li saw no one. Then they continued walking all the way to a remote place.

Servant Xia suddenly stopped, Feng Mo and Kong Li could not help but wonder.

Then under the eyes of the two, Servant Xia took out a jade token. Servant Xia threw the jade into the air.

The jade token did not fall, but it was floating in the air. A ripple spread out forming a door.

Feng Mo was surprised, if Servant Xia did not issue the token. He would not realize that there was a formation in front of him.

It could be seen that the level of the formation in front of him had to be extremely high.

"Follow me, don't get lost."

Both nod.

The three people disappeared behind the formation, if anyone were to follow behind, they would definitely not be able to find where the knot of the formation was.

Feng Mo and Kong Li walked following Servant Xia step by step.

It took a quarter stick of incense to walk out, Feng Mo saw a small courtyard appear before his eyes.

In the daytime that was supposed to be extremely hot, Feng Mo was able to feel an unusual chill.

"You two wore this talisman when you entered the courtyard." Servant Xia handed the defensive talisman to the two.

"Thank you."

They continued on their way to the small courtyard. The courtyard was very quiet, like there were no inhabitants.

But when they entered the courtyard, they saw several guards patrolling.

The guards greeted Servant Xia as soon as they passed by.

"Please ask Captain An to go to Mr. Jing's room."

"Yes, Waiter Xia."

The waiter Xia brought the two in deeper and deeper. Until they arrived at a tightly closed door.

Waiter Xia knocked on the door. "Sir, I brought both."

"Lake in."

The door of the room opened, a cooler air came out from within.

Feng Mo pouted. The poison within the city lord's body was higher than he had thought.

"Let's go in."

Feng Mo and Kong Li entered into the room, both of them had attached protection talismans to their bodies.

The room was very large, but there was only a bed inside.

On top of the bed, lay the weak city lord.

Feng Mo immediately realized that the City Lord was the man who saved the two from the attack of the Giant Octopus.

"Mr Jing."

The city lord opened his eyes. The light in the city lord's eyes was still clear.

But his body looked thinner than when he had appeared last time. His face was pale and his breathing was slow.

"Brother Xia."

"Master Jing, the two cultivators came to the door, they said they knew information about the poison."

He had seen many people say similar things in the past year, and he had been feeling a lot of disappointment.

But he still wants to see hope.

Two Foundation level cultivators, saying they had abilities... City lord Jing wanted to see what made them so sure.

He may also have an exception.

"Greetings City lord." Feng Mo and Kong Li saluted.

City lord Jing nodded. "You can cure me?"

"No."

City Lord: " ... "

Server Xia: " ... "

Feng Mo: " ... "

Silence strangled everyone.

City Lord Jing was choked by Kong Li's straightforward reply, but seeing Servant Xia's attitude, he was sure this 'no' had not been entirely true yet.

"Kalian— "

"Junior can't be his master." Kong Li immediately continued his words.

The eyes of the two old men turned to Feng Mo, Feng Mo had been hiding behind Kong Li from the start.

Initially the two had thought of Feng Mo's behavior as a mere follower, but now seeing his low cultivation level, he might use others as a distraction.

"Let's allow junior to check on the City Lord's condition." Feng Mo stepped forward.

"How do you check it?"

"Sufficiently give me a hand."

City Lord Jing took out his hand from the blanket, the thin hand was very transparent, the blue-colored veins could be clearly seen.

Feng Mo took the city lord's hand. "When a junior enters consciousness, the junior will coat the consciousness with a fire spell. Lord please don't fight."

"Ms."

Feng Mo separated a strand of his consciousness and entered into the City Lord's body.

City Lord Jing felt a warmth that stepped within his body.

Since the poisoning, his body had been cold for a long time.

The cold was no ordinary cold. But a cold that pierced into the bone marrow.

At first he was only injured while dealing with a fellow shark, but then the wound healing took place for a very long time.

After that, he often had a fever and colds. City lord Jing thought that it was an ordinary fever caused by a wound infection.

But who knows, he almost died when the poison made waves inside his body.

City lord Jing suppressed the poison with his entire cultivation.

His spiritual energy had been spent suppressing the poison at all times, and could barely contain it anymore.

But he was afraid that the poison would erupt again at another time.

It only takes a few minutes but feels like a few years.

Suddenly Feng Mo's face paled and he frowned. Others feel nervous but do not dare to disturb.

After a while, Feng Mo opened his eyes and meditated on the spot.

Two other people are coming. Seeing that everyone was silent, they did not speak either.

Feng Mo opened his eyes, all the information about the poison had been taken from the inheritance.

The [Ten Thousand Poisons] Cheat not only had a cultivation method, but also information about all the poisons present in the world.

Both those that exist now and those that have long been lost.

It suddenly appeared in his consciousness.

It was just that Feng Mo's cultivation level was too low that this function only appeared when he did not know about the newly discovered poison.

Like the poison of City Lord Jing, all the information about the poison appeared in his consciousness.

The information was too big so his head hurt a little.

"Don't know which method junior used to hold hands?" City lord Jing tried to break the tense atmosphere.

"This is the method of the mortal doctor."

"That's why I feel so familiar."

Feng Mo sorted out his thoughts. "The poison that attacked the city lord is more serious than what junior thought."

"Say."

"Have the city lord heard of the 'Ten deadliest poisons in the cultivation world'?"

Everyone paled hearing that sentence.

City lord Jing held his breath. "You mean?"

"The poison that was inside the City Lord's body was Cold Poison. One of the ten deadliest poisons. This poison will freeze all parts of the body from the inside, first the blood flow, then the muscles, bones, meridians, flesh. It then attacks the internal organs and brain of the cultivator. This poison is so domineering, the continuous cold coming out of the body cannot be controlled, once erupted the consequences are very deadly. City lord Jing being able to suppress the poison for so long was a stroke of luck, but next time, it might just be death."

City lord Jing felt a hum in his head. "No offer?"

"It is said to be a deadly poison because there was no antidote until now."

The atmosphere in the room was deadlocked.

City lord Jing was unwilling to compromise, Servant Xia had long since lowered her head. And Kong Li did not want to ruin this tense atmosphere.

"You must have a solution!" A voice came from behind.

A young man approached. His seven-point face similar to that of City Lord Jing could explain the blood relation.

"Jing Ming!"

"Young Master!"

Jing Ming was indifferent, he approached and looked at Feng Mo seriously. "Tell me how much you want, I'll give you all, as long as my father heals."

"Jing Ming! Don't be disrespectful!" City lord Jing tried to get out of bed, but then coughed.

Servant Xia hurriedly helped the old man stabilize his emotions.

"I'm not an alchemist." Feng Mo said it straightforwardly.

"But you dared to come here, you must have a solution about the poison."

The corner of Feng Mo's mouth twitched. That blind faith, where did he get it?
