Chapter 399 - Go and Die Then!
The long-faced cultivator had not expected that Su Zimo would possess a spirit perception and had extremely keen senses towards something such as killing intent that was immaterial!
It was logical that the other cultivators would feel hostile towards Su Zimo.
However, the long-faced cultivator felt a killing intent!
Uncle Liang sighed. “Xi Yushan, come clean and you might still have a chance to live.”
The long-faced cultivator named Xi Yushan was thoroughly panicked. He realized that his fellow sect mates that were standing beside him a moment ago had backed off, looking at him warily.
Gulping, Xi Yushan looked towards Su Zimo instinctively.
Su Zimo’s gaze was sharp as a knife, emitting a piercing glint with occasional flashes of lightning. It was unusually sharp and instantly penetrated the last line of defense in Xi Yushan’s heart.
This was the invisible power of his gaze.
“Yes…”
Right then, in the corner, Xiaoning, who was initially sleeping let out a drowsy sound.
Su Zimo hurried over and squatted down. He placed his palm against Xiaoning’s forehead before asking gently, “Xiaoning, how are you feeling?”
“Brother?”
Xiaoning opened her eyes slightly and could not see what was before her clearly yet, merely replying instinctively due to the familiarity of the voice.
“It’s me.”
Su Zimo gripped Xiaoning’s hand.
A familiar warmth surged into her heart and instantly, Xiaoning felt much more awake. She tried her best to open her eyes and her lips twitched as she smiled. “Brother, you’re back? I’m fine, don’t worry.”
Su Zimo found himself smiling uncontrollably when he saw Xiaoning’s smile. Pushing her fringe away endearingly, he asked with a slightly reproachful tone, “Why were you so careless?”
Xiaoning stuck out her tongue and blinked multiple times.
Coming towards them, Tang Yu took out a jade bottle. “This is a Great Essence Nourishing Elixir. Let Xiaoning consume it. Her body has just only purged away the poison and is still weak.”
“Thank you so much.”
Su Zimo nodded and received the jade bottle before pouring out an elixir the size of a fingernail and feeding it to Xiaoning.
There was still something on Tang Yu’s mind as she could not help but ask, “Fellow Daoist Su, did you guys have any feuds with Poison Sect?”
Standing up, Su Zimo could not help but recall the Poison Sect cultivator he killed in the Golden Core’s cave abode back at the borders of the ancient battlefield.
“If you kill me, all of you will have to die on the ancient battlefield!”
Those were the last words of the Poison Sect cultivator.
Su Zimo did not hide anything and nodded. “I killed a Poison Sect cultivator previously.”
“No wonder.”
Enlightened, Tang Yu said deeply, “Poison Sect cultivators are sinister and vengeful. Any cultivator that’s able to use the Purple Corpse Corrosion Poison must have a high position within the sect. That person has most likely arrived at the city’s north to poison all of you to death. It’s just a pity…”
In truth, Tang Yu’s guess was rather close.
The Poison Sect cultivator’s name was Lu Ang and he was also at seven meridian Foundation Establishment. He was sent here to poison Su Zimo’s group to death but he ended up coming across Night Spirit.
The Purple Corpse Corrosion Poison was completely useless when used on Night Spirit!
Lu Ang could not even survive a single round before he was killed by Night Spirit on the spot!
