The Legend of the Devil
Ch. 161 - Owner of the Thousand Flower Poison
One week after the last incident in the city center, the chaos began to subside and things stabilized. It's just that there's still debris strewn across the streets.
As promised by Fan Yuan, they attended the Wind Goddess Birth festival and enjoyed the event despite the chaos. The man allowed them to say goodbye with a gloating face, given the sheer number of things that had happened beyond expectation. He apologized twice while driving them to the front of the residence.
Xiang Yi Bai walked ahead. Xue Zhan followed behind with Fenghuang who had fully recovered since the last fight. His incredible self-healing ability allowed him to heal from a heavy wound in just a matter of hours.
"Oi, Fenghuang," called Xue Zhan. The colorful chicken turned an annoyed face towards him. "What?"
"Where were you when the attack happened?"
"I'm just waiting for you to finish that stupid fight."
"You fight too, don't you?" Xue Zhan looked extremely suspicious, he looked towards the fenghuang robe that was slightly torn apart. "You think I'm short-sighted to the point of not seeing the ripped marks."
"Buy your eyes too, I want to make fun of it." He pointed his index and middle fingers before Xue Zhan's eyes. The young man laughed. "I think a pompous and annoying phoenix like you won't get into a fight with a human. I can't believe you have feelings too."
Fenghuang's expression changed slightly, she looked away immediately. "Better me, than your teacher. The man who ran away saved himself, he even snacked on peas. You just disappear he's relaxed. Fuckin."
Xue Zhan shook his head. "Heh. Can't put it behind the back."
Fenghuang raised her fist upwards while looking at Xiang Yi Bai who was turning his back on the two.
"I'll also meet him in front!"
Xiang Yi Bai turned around. "Who is gossiping about me?"
Fenghuang and Xue Zhan pointed at each other.
Xue Zhan invaded. "He."
"He is," Fenghuang said.
"You have time to gossip about other people, why not wear it to think about what we're having for lunch?"
Xue Zhan cursed inwardly. This Old Monster turned into a Food Monster, rising to the world over his taste of being swallowed by a galaxy because once it was starving, all the food was snatched away. Xue Zhan noticed the silver metal pieces in hand, they had to skimp to travel far.
"Red rice porridge is also okay."
Xiang Yi Bai and Fenghuang stared reluctantly. "Mahh ..."
"Don't be picky eating said my grandfather."
"You feed your grandfather that red rice porridge right there. I don't want to."
Fenghuang protest.
"Who offered for you. You eat caterpillars there, "reply Xue Zhan was upset. Fenghuang stomped her feet and began to let out a sharp wind from her palm to attack Xue Zhan.
Unexpectedly Fenghuang suddenly attacked Xue Zhan with great force, making him bounce back against the trunk of a large tree. Xiang Yi Bai opened his mouth in surprise, it looked as if Fenghuang was easily aroused. He should be careful too. His students just until immediately applauded so.
"That's a pity, where it's still young. In his lifetime, he was a good and ethical man. May his good deeds be received in heaven." Xiang Yi Bai Prayer.
They agreed to visit one place next, the place where all the mysteries about Xue Zhan's death were located. After knowing everything that happened 20 years ago and how Xiang Yi Bai died, Xue Zhan now wanted to find out what really happened in the final seconds of his own death.
If Xiang Yi Bai dies, Xue Zhan cannot do much. At the request of that man and the wishes of Ziran Zhao, Xue Zhan would never reveal the secret to anyone else. It was true that Xiang Yi Bai said, Ground Stones were a priority and they did not want to invite attention during the trip.
After having a conversation with Ziran Zhao, Xue Zhan saw the change in Xiang Yi Bai's attitude. He was a little grateful, no more regrets in his eyes. Xue Zhan was also happy to see his master slip from the shadows of his past.
It was just that now Xue Zhan had to find out all about what happened five years ago. About how he died, slander, and the riddles before his death.
In the midst of Xue Zhan's journey of turning his attention for a moment, he was just idly asking considering that Xiang Yi Bai had a vast knowledge of martial arts and all kinds of techniques as well as martial arts.
"Teacher,"
"Oi." Xiang Yi Bai replied to his ally.
"Teacher ever heard of a move that can kill in three seconds?"
Xiang Yi Bai stopped walking. They were passing on a long road that was uphill to the hilly area. The man invited to take a break while enjoying the cool breeze of the day. It had long felt like he did not feel the calm as he had always felt during the Gorge of Regret. Xiang Yi Bai leaned over to the tree while opening the wine jug.
"If you ask how many moves I have, I have a hundred that can kill in three seconds. Not from any kind of poison, deadly weapon or wild plant."
Xue Zhan stared to the side where the man was sitting cross-legged. While Fenghuang suddenly changed his form into a phoenix and started hunting river fish.
"I can't be sure. I already told Master the trigger for my death was due to the accusation that I killed the 45th Elder of the Eternal Valley. And the manner of the man's death is beyond common sense ..." The young man exhaled while shaking his head.
"I only turned three seconds away from him and suddenly he had already breathed his last. I had seen someone in the reflection of his eyes, but still this made no sense. The 45th elder died without the slightest wound, poison or other trace."
Within minutes there was no sign of Xiang Yi Bai going to talk, the man folded his hands in front of his chest and slept in a sitting position.
Xue Zhan threw his face towards the river, seeing Fenghuang catching fish very quickly.
"... When he died, did you see a needle?"
Xue Zhan was stunned.
Then immediately held a glance at Xiang Yi Bai who was still closing his eyes quietly. His mouth almost quivered as he said, "Where does Master know?"
"Then there's only one conjecture about the poison."
Xue Zhan frowned. "Teachers can guess right away?"
"He is the owner of the famous Thousand Flower Poison."
"The Poison of a Thousand Flowers? It was the same poison that hit Miss Yin back then!" Xue Zhan interrupted. It was so remembered the moment where the Ghost Jade Tower attacked him and gave Yin Jiao such a dangerous poison powder. But until this moment no one knows for sure who the original maker of the poison.
It is said that the owner has a high level of poison science, of course he is not an arbitrary person.
"Who is he then, Master?"
"Yue Linghe's. Twenty years ago he was the founder of a group of poison masters named the Purple Centipede. Not everyone has a chance to see what it looks like, even if you have a chance to see it, you're going to die. That's the story I heard. Either exaggerated or indeed excessive. But indeed the poison must be very wary."
