Chapter 250 – The Third Card
Yuan Zhong’s long speech on the stage came to an abrupt end.
As the first person planted himself, people in the arena continued to plant themselves on the ground, moaning in pain. Those with slightly higher cultivation levels were also staggering, their faces pale. In the blink of an eye, eight or nine thousand people out of the sixty thousand or so present were actually poisoned, and the moans and cries for help rose and fell as the scene was in chaos.
Countless people were looking at Xue Mu on the stage.
Chu Tianming, who had some favor with Xue Mu, was unavoidably suspicious in his heart, not to mention the others. There were many people who already suspected that Xue Mu was the real culprit were even more boisterous at this moment, “Xue Mu! Hand over the antidote!”
Meng Feibai was at the front of the crowd, and at this moment, he was also covering his chest with a pale face, pointing one hand at the podium, and said angrily, “Xue Mu! How dare you do this to the martial artists of the world, you are simply heartless!”
Xue Mu looked indifferent and smiled faintly, “Young Sect Master Meng has been hit by my miscellaneous poisons, but he’s still quite full of vigor.”
“Bang!” Leng Qingshi angrily slapped the countertop and stood up with a swoosh, “Xue Mu, what else do you have to say now!”
Saying that, he flipped his palm and was about to strike. Yu Lin hurriedly stood up, separating between the two: “I’m afraid there’s a misunderstanding in this matter, even if Xue Mu wants to harm someone, he wouldn’t do it on this kind of occasion, isn’t this asking for death?”
Leng Qingshi angrily pointed at Yu Lin: “You’re confused! Still speaking in his favor! If it wasn’t him, who else could have noiselessly poisoned so many people with poisonous techniques, and the toxin happened to be the type he practiced? It’s hard to believe that there are two Xue Mus in the world!”
Yu Lin was also speechless for a moment, “This ……”
Wei Ruyi said quietly, “I’m afraid that he is seizing Brother Yu Lin’s mentality of thinking that it’s impossible for him to seek his own death, and he’s doing it on purpose.”
Leng Qingshi finally couldn’t help but strike with anger, Mu Jianli unsheathed her sword without a word and protected Xue Mu’s side.
Leng Qingshi was furious, “Mu Jianli! You are blinded by lard, mesmerized by demons, and degrading yourself!”
Mu Jianli was about to speak, but suddenly her complexion changed slightly.
At the same time, Yu Lin Zhu Chen Yao Leng Qing Shi Wei Ruyi’s color changed in unison.
They were actually all poisoned as well.
Yulin transported his power to suppress it, and turned to Xue Mu in shock: “Brother Xue …… this ……”
At this juncture, really even Yu Lin began to doubt.
The people in the field and the stage have a distance of seven or eight feet, with their cultivation enough confidence will not be so far away from the silent invasion. After all, poisonous power is not a divine art, the so-called silent, that is issued through the true qi, can directly invade the skin surface, so there is no need for other media. Those young martial artists in the arena, who’s true qi can invade so far away and still not let the people on the stage, including Yuan Zhong, find out? Completely impossible.
The only people in close proximity on the stage had a certain possibility of quietly poisoning them, but these people on the stage, each practicing something, knew each other well. Yulin was certain that there was absolutely no one on stage practicing poison, poison from the forging of the body is contrary to normal cultivation, that is something that conflicts with the cultivation of everyone here since childhood, it’s impossible to cultivate at the same time.
Only Xue Mu could possibly do it.
The blue-clothed middle-aged man from the Sea and Sky Pavilion looked cold, and with a grab of his right hand, an azure blue mesh of true qi covered Xue Mu, and he coldly said, “Capture it and say it again.”
A Buddha light lit up, but Yuan Zhong blocked it for Xue Mu, and said with a low clamor of Buddha’s name: “Mr. Ye, stay calm, wait for the old line to ask questions.”
After all, this place is Wu Gui Temple, Yuan Zhong wants to preside over the incident, others naturally must give face. That Mr. Ye then whisked his sleeve and said, “I’d like to see what this demon still has to defend!”
Yuan Zhong sighed, “Scholar Xue, what do you say?”
Xue Mu laughed, “What else can I say, my cultivation simply isn’t to the point where I can poison thousands of people alone, okay?…… Besides, how retarded do you think I should be to die after getting high like this? Isn’t this an obvious plant?”
Meng Fei Bai in the field called out, “Not bad! Devil Sect Demons, how can they be explained by common sense! Isn’t the Emotion Destroying Dao the one that kills to the point of bloodshed even at the cost of one’s death!”
Xue Mu smiled faintly, “You guys want proof? It’s simple.”
Yuan Zhong said solemnly, “Master Xue, please clarify.”
Xue Mu asked Mu Jianli, “Can you still act?”
Mu Jianli closed her eyes to feel for a moment and whispered, “I can still suppress it, but it’s best not to fight …… Give me a quiet time to force the poison for an incense stick of time to be able to force it out.”
Xue Mu nodded and asked Zhu Chen Yao, “How are you?”
Zhu Chen Yao frowned slightly and shook her head, “I must suppress the forced poison with all my might, I can’t fight.”
Leng Qingshi laughed coldly, “Xue Mu, there’s really something about you, both women are so supportive of you, and you still poisoned them.”
Xue Mu didn’t reply and said to himself, “Sword Fairy has already entered the Dao, both are temporarily unable to fight. The Ice Fairy is at the beginning of her embodiment, and is already unable to fight.”
After a pause, he suddenly pointed at Meng Fei Bai in the field, “Young Sect Master Meng, you wouldn’t have entered the Dao, right?”
Meng Fei Bai said angrily, “I can’t move a muscle, are you satisfied, you demon?”
Xue Mu snapped his fingers, “That’s good.”
As the words fell, a dazzling blade light suddenly lit up in the field, as if the rising sun had fallen into the nine heavens, carrying a horrifying wave of heat and murderous intent as it slashed down towards Meng Fei Bai.
Meng Fei Bai’s complexion changed drastically, he clearly felt the undisguised killing opportunity in the blade light, if he didn’t make a move, he would surely die!
“Choke!” The longsword came out of its sheath, and the brilliant sword aura blossomed, breaking heavily into the blazing sun blade aura.
A violent clash exploded, and Meng Fei Bai retreated three steps backward, his face whitening as he looked at the big man in front of him. A mocking smile hung at the corners of the big man’s mouth, “Very good, to only take three steps back after meeting an attack so hastily, worthy of being one of Feng’s original strongest foes.”
Meng Fei Bai’s face was ashen.
What’s the use of being praised by a strong enemy, didn’t you see the tens of thousands of people present look at him with changed eyes?
What does it mean to say that you’ve been poisoned and can’t move a muscle, and you’re still so fierce? Countless people who were so poisoned that they were rolling on the ground had boundless anger in their eyes.
Meng Feibai was not poisoned at all! No poisoning would have been fine, there would have been only eight or nine thousand people poisoned, there are still tens of thousands of people who are fine, but why did you lie and say you were poisoned?
Since lying, there must be a problem, in other words, his suspicion at this moment than Xue Mu is even greater!
Meng Fei Bai’s face flashed red and white as he looked at Xue Mu, who was smiling on the stage, and then at Feng Lieyang, who was calmly carrying a single sword. What a blunder, I didn’t expect Xue Mu to actually hide his cards here in addition to Mu Jian Li Yu Lin and these people!
Xue Mu’s third card, Feng Lieyang.
People only focus on the girls around Xue Mu, but forget that there is a seeded player who is participating in the martial arts, Feng Lieyang, from the Star Moon Sect’s affiliated sects, and is also a helping hand that Xue Mu can use.
It was just that Feng Lieyang never acted alone and had no involvement with Xue Mu at all, making people almost forget about it. Just this one oversight allowed Meng Fei Bai to reveal himself.
Xue Mu put his two hands behind Mu Jianli and Zhu Chenyao respectively, sucking out the toxins while asking, “Young Sect Master Meng, do you have anything you want to explain to everyone?”
Over there, Meng Fei Bai’s sweat beaded down, and in full view of everyone, he finally stifled a sentence, “I’m not poisoned, I just have a grudge against you, and I’m using the poisoning to question you!”
Xue Mu laughed, “You can question me even if you’re not poisoned, so why pretend to be poisoned? Actually, Mister Xue does know why you are pretending, do you need Mister Xue to tell you?”
With the sound of his words, two clusters of poisonous gas were inhaled into the palm of his hand and quickly dissipated, and Mu Jian Li Zhu Chen Yao directly recovered as usual. Xue Mu began to help Yu Lin Leng Qingshi absorb it again, Leng Qingshi hesitated slightly and did not refuse.
The attitude was obvious, he also felt that this was not right anymore.
Meng Feibai stubbornly sneered, “I want to see how you want to plant evidence on me.”
Xue Mu said indifferently, “Because everyone who has been poisoned at this time is someone who has been to the plague area before. Young Sect Master Meng also went there, so he naturally felt that he should also be poisoned, this is subconscious.”
The moment these words came out, there was an uproar in the arena. It was because those who had been poisoned knew that they had indeed been to the plague zone.
The truth seemed to be about to be revealed.
