Chapter 109 Poisoning the People
After a moment's thought, Lu Qingyun asked Chen Shi a few more questions.
I also learned some things about the Great Yun Kingdom and the Dan tribe.
In addition, I learned Chen Shi's name.
half an hour.
Chen Shi left the cave with two [Sword Light Talismans] in high spirits. Although the chicken leg in his hand was cold, he ate it with great relish.
He guessed right.
Lu Qingyun was indeed very generous and gave him another talisman.
No wonder Mr. Chen was happy.
A superior talisman is incomparable to a mid-grade one.
These two [Sword Light Talismans] alone are worth over a hundred spirit stones.
Once Lu Qingyun has dealt with the Pill Department, he will likely reap even greater benefits.
"Although I knew in advance that Danbe was going to take action against me, dealing with this matter is still troublesome."
Lu Qingyun watched Chen Shi leave, his eyes filled with uncertain emotions.
"I have three options now. One is to kill all the Dan Clan members who come here. Although the one from the Dan Clan who is at the half-step Foundation Establishment stage is very strong, he is also at the first level of Divine Power cultivation. Since the enemy is in the open while I am in the dark, I am not afraid of him."
"Secondly, I could directly reveal my identity as the former mayor of Pingyangfang. However, this would inevitably attract Niu Gao's attention, and all my previous efforts to hide my identity and fake my death would be wasted."
"As for the third option? Naturally, it's to make them back down."
"As long as I reveal enough strength and talisman cultivation, no matter how powerful the Pill Clan is, they can't do anything to me."
Lu Qingyun pondered for a moment, then smiled gently.
"I've been a bit rigid in my thinking. The people from the Pill Department haven't come after me yet. Rather than letting them wreak havoc on the area so easily, I should strike first. That way, even if those people in the Pill Department who are making plague pills die, they won't be able to find me."
Lu Qingyun drew his magic sword from his waist and a new idea came to him in an instant.
Chen Shi had just given him positions to the cultivators in charge of refining Plague Pills in the Pill Department. The simplest way would be to kill those cultivators and destroy the Plague Pill plan at its root.
Even if there were Qi Refining Perfection experts among them, to him now they would be nothing more than clay chickens and earthen dogs, easily killed with a flick of his finger.
The following night, Lu Qingyun calmed his mind and suddenly opened his eyes, leaving the cave.
Although the capital of the Great Yun Kingdom is located at the foot of the mountain, the offices of the Six Ministries are also located at the foot of the mountain.
However, the side hall where the plague pills were refined in the Dan Department was located on the eastern mountain.
This is why those people from Danbu were able to target him so easily.
after all.
It's easier to do something if you're close by.
Historically, most of the disappearances of cultivators from Dongshan were caused by people from the Dan Department.
Lu Qingyun concealed his tracks, and the cultivators along the way were completely unable to find him.
As if a gust of wind had blown by, he vanished from the sight of the many cultivators.
Arriving at a secluded cliff, Lu Qingyun looked ahead.
There were hidden sentries everywhere, and the cultivators stationed there were all at the eighth level of Qi Refining.
"The Great Yun Kingdom is indeed profound. Back in Pingyang Market, even someone at the eighth level of Qi Refining could be considered a figure of importance. Even Li Fulai at the seventh level of Qi Refining could act arrogantly and domineeringly."
"In the Great Cloud Kingdom, even though they are both of the first-order spiritual veins, they can only serve as guards at the gates of others. It is conceivable how many late-stage cultivators have been born from the war between the righteous and the demonic over the years. Even those elusive half-step Foundation Establishment figures are now numerous in Cloud City."
Lu Qingyun shook his head and thought to himself.
"Unfortunately, no matter how tightly they guarded me, it was all in vain against someone like me who was only half a step into the Foundation Establishment stage. The difference in our cultivation levels made it impossible for them to even detect me."
Lu Qingyun entered through the main gate, circulating his longevity magic throughout his body, and the array in the side hall didn't even react.
Upon entering the side hall, Lu Qingyun looked at each room before him. Even though he had stepped onto the path of immortality and was as cold as he was, he couldn't help but feel a sense of disgust at this moment.
The numerous rooms contained men, women, young and old, all of whom had suffered horrific torture; some were hung on gallows, while others were tied to experimental instruments.
Women and children suffered endless torment and humiliation, enduring unspeakable suffering.
The cultivators of the Dan sect activated an unknown magical artifact with syringes, injecting the bound old and young.
"Please, spare me! I'm truly not a member of the demonic sect. I've dedicated my life to diligent cultivation, upholding the righteous path from beginning to end!"
An elderly cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining was in great pain, his body covered in countless scarlet marks, and he kept wailing and praying.
"You cultivator, how dare you talk back! It's clearly you people who colluded with the demonic sect to sabotage the Great Yun Kingdom's anti-demon campaign, trying to destroy the frontline formation so that countless demonic bastards could wreak havoc on the people of Great Yun."
The young cultivator in front of him seemed oblivious, continuing to inject a tube of unknown, dark liquid into his body.
"I only said that using human lives to sacrifice for an array is too cruel, and perhaps a gentler method could be used. I never intended to betray the righteous path!"
The old monk wailed.
"As expected, you are a spy of the Demonic Sect, slandering the Blood Sacrifice Project again. If it weren't for those people sacrificing themselves and voluntarily offering their blood, you wouldn't have the opportunity to whine and complain about the cruelty of the formation."
The young cultivator looked disdainful and withdrew his magical artifact.
"This Ghost Spider King Elixir can transform cultivators into ghost spiders, which can slaughter everything around them. If you can successfully fuse with and absorb it, you will surely make a great contribution to the cause of resisting demons. Even if you die, the Great Yun Kingdom will remember your contribution."
"I don't want to...I don't want to!"
The old cultivator still wanted to resist. His pupils were filled with fear as he twisted his body desperately to resist the Ghost Spider King Elixir being injected into his body.
However, before he could finish speaking...
He exploded instantly, like a balloon filled with black blood.
The young monk's expression grew increasingly disdainful.
"What the higher-ups want is the Blood Fiend Fruit. They don't care whether you're on the righteous path or the demonic path. You even dare to slander the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony. A piece of trash like you who doesn't know the times, even if you're on the righteous path, you deserve to die in my Pill Department."
The blood splattered on the young cultivator's face; he snorted coldly and wiped it off.
"Unfortunately, another failure. It seems we need to have those people below capture some more high-level cultivators."
Lu Qingyun remained silent, watching the elderly cultivator explode and die.
The young monk's words made him think.
The Blood Fiend Fruit is formed from the blood of countless people. He had seen it by chance in the ancient books of the Cloud Mist Sect.
"No wonder the struggle between the Great Yun Kingdom and the Demonic Sect has dragged on for so long. It turns out that both the righteous and the demonic sides are tacitly sending cultivators and mortals to the battlefield in order to condense Blood Fiend Fruits that are useful to those who are high above and half-step Foundation Establishment."
"It's a pity that this old cultivator was so passionate about the righteous path, but little did he know that his justice was so cheap and insignificant in the eyes of those people."
Lu Qingyun shook his head.
He couldn't save the other person first, but he could still avenge them.
The magic sword is drawn.
Inside the room, the young cultivator seemed to sense something, and he turned around following the cold light behind him.
However, the next moment, Lu Qingyun's magic sword instantly severed his neck.
"Who? Who's there?"
The death of the young cultivator made many cultivators in the Pill Department realize that something was wrong in an instant.
They quickly looked towards the direction of the side hall entrance.
However, all they received in response was a continuous surge of dark blue magical power.
Immediately afterwards, life force began to emerge from the dozens of rooms in front of them. Before the cultivators of the Pill Department could react, tender shoots sprouted from their bodies and began to devour them.
