Upon seeing Ouyang Shaogong, the disciple guarding the gate of Qingyu Altar respectfully addressed him.
"Okay! Go and gather all the disciples together and tell them that I have something important to tell them!"
After saying this, Ouyang Shaogong walked directly into the Qingyu Altar.
The two disciples guarding the door exchanged a glance and then whispered:
"What is the elder trying to do? This is a blatant disrespect to the sect leader!"
"Shh, keep your voice down! Elder Ouyang is the most valued person by our sect leader! Besides, what if it's an order from the sect leader? Let's pass it on quickly!"
After saying this, the two hurriedly sent word down to the Jade Altar.
In less than half an hour, a large number of disciples had gathered in front of the main hall of the Azure Jade Altar, talking in hushed tones.
"what is going on?"
"Shh, keep your voice down, Elder Ouyang is here!"
""
At this moment, Ouyang Shaogong walked out of the hall with an icy expression. After scanning everyone's faces, he spoke to them in a cold tone:
"Lei Yan is dead, but the poison in your bodies still has no antidote! Now I'm giving you two choices: one, die; two, submit to me, and I will concoct the antidote for you!"
As soon as Ouyang Shaogong finished speaking, the crowd below began to stir.
"What makes you think our sect leader is dead?!"
"Yes, yes!"
While the disciples kept retorting to Ouyang Shaogong's words, Yuan Wu, standing to the side, kept his mouth tightly shut and observed the situation around him.
Hearing the crowd's words, a cold smile gradually appeared on Ouyang Shaogong's lips. He memorized every single person who opposed him and spoke to the crowd with a contemptuous tone:
"You may not believe me now, but this is the last chance I'm giving you, a chance to be free from the pain of the poison forever. If you choose to submit and believe me, go and get the antidote over there. I'll only give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!"
When Ouyang Shaogong finished speaking, he sat down in a seat to the side, looking at everyone with amusement.
At this moment, Yuan Wu was torn, weighing the pros and cons of the matter.
Time ticked by, and with only half an incense stick's time remaining, no one went to take the antidote from the side.
Sweat dripped continuously from Yuan Wu's face. Suddenly, Yuan Wu hardened his heart and slowly moved closer to the antidote.
As soon as Yuan Wu moved, everyone's eyes turned to him, as if they were looking at an oddball.
At this moment, when Ouyang Shaogong saw Yuan Wu become the first person, a satisfied expression gradually appeared on his face, and he slowly stood up from his seat.
After picking up a dark green pill, Yuan Wu hesitated for a moment before swallowing it.
"Um"
Instantly, Yuan Wu's face turned extremely painful, and a mouthful of black blood dripped continuously from the corner of his mouth.
When everyone saw this scene, their eyes were fixed on Yuan Wu, some with sympathy and others with relief.
"cough cough"
Yuan Wu knelt on the ground, coughed twice to spit out a mouthful of blood, and only then did the expression on his face gradually relax.
Upon sensing the abnormality in his body, Yuan Wu's face lit up with joy. He quickly stood up from the ground and excitedly said to Ouyang Shaogong:
"Thank you so much, Elder, for saving my life!"
"Um?!"
A cold voice came from Ouyang Shaogong's mouth. Yuan Wu, sensing something was wrong with his tone, hurriedly said to Ouyang Shaogong:
"Thank you so much, Master, for saving my life!"
"Hmm!" Ouyang Shaogong nodded in satisfaction.
At this moment, the expressions on everyone's faces suddenly turned ugly. It seemed that the toxins in Yuan Wu's body had been completely cleared, and their originally firm hearts began to waver.
"There's still a cup of tea's time left. If you don't make a choice by now, don't blame me!" Ouyang Shaogong said coldly to the crowd.
As soon as Ouyang Shaogong finished speaking, everyone could no longer contain themselves and rushed toward the location where the antidote was placed.
"Don't grab it! Leave me one antidote! Leave me one antidote!"
""
The insults kept reaching Ouyang Shaogong's ears. Looking at the crowd scrambling for the antidote in front of him, the smile on Ouyang Shaogong's lips grew even colder.
"Let me show you what my Soul-Severing Branch tastes like. Using you, a bunch of medicinal bodies, as test subjects is simply the best option."
Chapter 106 Heading to Yaoshan
At this moment, after Luo Chen led Xue Luwei and Qiu Xinrui away from the woods, he returned to the Flower Pavilion in Jiangdu.
After discussing it with everyone, he led them towards Yaoshan.
Upon reaching the village inhabited by the Kui Niu tribe, two men swiftly appeared before Luo Chen and his companions, striking menacing poses and shouting:
"I planted this tree, I opened this road; if you want to pass, leave your toll!"
"Hurry up and hand over your money, or we brothers won't be so polite!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen chuckled and said to the two of them with a playful expression:
"Toll? How much toll do you want?"
Seeing that Luo Chen wasn't afraid of them, the two of them couldn't help but feel uneasy. If it weren't for the circumstances, they wouldn't have thought of becoming bandits.
However, since the other party had already spoken, the two of them naturally wouldn't hold back.
A fierce look flashed across Xiang Tianxiao's face as he shouted sharply at Luo Chen:
"What are you laughing at! Give me all the money you have!"
"You said it! Don't go back on your word!"
After Luo Chen chuckled, he waved his hand, and a mountain of gold instantly appeared before Xiang Tianxiao and Yan Mei, dazzlingly bright in the sunlight.
The two, who had never seen so much gold before, were immediately filled with trepidation. There was absolutely no way they could carry so much gold on their person. The only reason someone could conjure up so much gold with their bare hands was that they were a cultivator.
Thinking of this, the two of them immediately knelt down before Luo Chen, repeatedly begging for mercy:
"Sir, we were blind and didn't recognize your greatness! Please, sir, have mercy on us! We had no choice but to do this! If a monster hadn't come to our tribe, we wouldn't have dared to do this!"
"monster?"
After Luo Chen uttered a question with a hint of doubt, a thoughtful look gradually appeared in his eyes as he asked the two of them:
"What are your names?"
"Xiang Tianxiao, Yanmei!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen gradually understood everything. He suddenly waved his hand and calmly addressed the two of them:
"You two, get up! Take me to your tribe now, and I'll help you deal with that monster!"
At this moment, Xiang Tianxiao and Yan Mei's faces lit up with surprise and joy, and they said gratefully to Luo Chen:
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"
With grateful expressions, the two hurriedly led Luo Chen and the others towards the clan.
Because of the presence of monsters in their tribe, the once prosperous village has now withered away, leaving only the two brothers.
"Grandpa, that monster will come back tonight. Its lair is in that well!"
As he spoke, Xiang Tianxiao pointed towards the huge wellhead on the side.
"It's still early, so you should all find your rooms and rest first! When night falls, remember not to come out no matter what noise you hear, understand?" Luo Chen warned everyone.
"Yes, I understand!"
There's no need to say more about Xiang Tianxiao and Yan Mei; even if you wanted them to come out, they probably wouldn't.
Time passed by, and night slowly fell.
Luo Chen slowly walked out of the room, his gaze calmly fixed on the well.
"Looks like that monster is back. What! Is it too scared to come out?"
Luo Chen chuckled softly and slowly walked towards the well.
After moving to the side, Luo Chen waved his hand, and an octopus appeared in his palm. He then shot out a flame from his hand and began to roast the octopus over the flame.
A faint fragrance wafted from the octopus and seeped into the well water.
"Gurgle, gurgle"
Before long, a large number of bubbles began to rise from the well water, and the water in the entire well suddenly seemed to boil.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, a huge pinkish-white figure shot out from the well water.
An octopus resembling an elephant appeared before Luo Chen, its numerous tentacles binding itself to the surrounding trees, suspending its body in mid-air.
"Have you finally shown yourself?"
A strong fishy smell emanated from the octopus's body. Suddenly, the octopus swung one of its tentacles, instantly pulling a thick tree from the ground and throwing it towards Luo Chen.
"hey-hey"
A contemptuous smile appeared on Luo Chen's lips as he swung his hand directly at the tree.
"boom!"
A powerful energy burst forth from Luo Chen's palm, blasting the tree into flying debris that scattered in front of him.
At this moment, the octopus monster leaped swiftly from the trees, and as a light flashed, a graceful beauty appeared before Luo Chen.
An angry expression appeared on the demoness's face, and she said angrily to Luo Chen:
"You have gone too far in bullying demons! You dared to kill my fellow demons right in front of me, and even burned them! I will kill you."
"Kill me?! You're too cruel. But I'm not as cruel as you. Just be my servant!"
After Luo Chen sneered, he suddenly grasped a drop of Demon King's blood into his palm and leaped up from the ground.
Upon seeing this scene, the banshee couldn't help but follow Luo Chen's figure and look up at the sky.
However, just as the succubus raised her gaze, Luo Chen's figure vanished from her sight.
"Strange! Where is he?!"
The succubus's face was filled with panic, and her eyes kept scanning her surroundings.
Suddenly, a feeling of unease arose in the banshee's heart, and she instinctively retreated quickly to the side.
"too late!"
When the banshee heard that cold voice, her expression changed drastically, and then something unknown rushed into her mouth.
Caught off guard, the banshee swallowed the drop of the demon king's blood.
At that moment, a sharp pain erupted from the banshee's mind, and a strong sense of powerlessness swept through her entire body, causing her to weakly fall towards the ground.
"what"
A series of agonizing screams erupted from the banshee's mouth as her body rolled across the ground, crying out in agony towards Luo Chen:
"Let me go! What on earth did you feed me?!"
Chapter 107 Sea of Thunderclouds
Although the octopus demon in front of him was a monster, her beauty was top-notch. Sometimes, Luo Chen couldn't help but wonder if all female demons were so beautiful!
At this moment, Luo Chen's figure gradually moved closer to the octopus demon, and the system's voice immediately rang in Luo Chen's ears.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully enslaved Xiao Zhang."
Servant Name: Zhang Mei
"Servant loyalty: 3 points."
""
As Luo Chen's figure gradually approached, a cold glint flashed in the octopus demon's eyes. Suppressing the pain in its mind, it suddenly lashed out with a thick tentacle at Luo Chen's body.
When Luo Chen saw this scene, a contemptuous smile gradually appeared on his lips, showing no regard for the attack.
Just as the tentacle was about to lash out at Luo Chen's body, it seemed as if an invisible force was pulling the tentacle back.
