Chapter 255 - 255 218_2

255: Chapter 218_2 255: Chapter 218_2 “Jiang Tang, what did you do to my insects?”

The mother and child insects released by Dugu Yan’er were her spiritual pets, and they had already formed a contract with her.

Not seeing these two insects made her frantic with rage, forgetting that she was secretly undertaking this action, and she verbally confronted Jiang Tang.

Now, all the women around Jiang Tang, those who had been thinking of making a sneaky move, stopped their intended mischief, looking curiously at Dugu Yan’er.

“What insects?

I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Jiang Tang feigned ignorance.

Dugu Yan’er wanted to control him, but he was no longer so easily fooled today.

“You…

give me back my insects.” Dugu Yan’er was so angry that she reached out to hit Jiang Tang, but he caught her hand midway, preventing her from striking.

“Woman, do you think I’m that easy to bully?” Jiang Tang revealed an evil charm in his smile, holding on to Dugu Yan’er’s hand without letting go, and his other hand wrapped around her waist.

“Dugu Yan’er, what are you trying to do to my boyfriend?” Xuanyuan Mengting accused Dugu Yan’er.

“Dugu Yan’er, this is my turf, aren’t you being a bit too presumptuous?”

Zhang Nianjiao angrily rebuked Dugu Yan’er.

“Hmph, it’s all because of you, do you think you’re that noble, you wretch?” Dugu Yan’er didn’t curse at Xuanyuan Mengting but glared at Zhang Nianjiao and scolded her.

“Enough, your insects aren’t dead.

If you behave, I will return them to you.

In the future, you better not try these little tricks again.

And you others, do you really think I’m that easy to deceive?”

The first part of what Jiang Tang said was directed at Dugu Yan’er, while the latter was addressed to all the women.

He was quite fed up with the attitudes and actions of the women, which caused him much annoyance.

Dugu Yan’er pouted, unable to believe that her previously domineering self, who never failed in secret schemes, was ineffective against Jiang Tang.

When she had set out, the family head had even said that if she didn’t like someone, she could control them using various means, as long as the person obeyed their family’s commands.

Controlling Jiang Tang was akin to controlling a walking treasure, possessing endless riches.

More so, it would enable this person to concoct top-grade pills for their family.

With these pills, wouldn’t the members of their family become stronger?

They would be able to control the entire Cultivation World, becoming the strongest clan, the supreme ruler of the Cultivation World, no longer would the Xuanyuan Family be number one, for that position would be theirs.

It also reinforced the legend that with the emergence of top-grade pills, the Cultivation World had once again regained the ability to achieve Ascension.

Amidst this minor incident, Zhang Nianjiao invited Jiang Tang to a lavish dinner at her family’s estate.

But Jiang Tang declined, saying he was hurrying to visit another family.

Upon leaving the Zhang Family, Zhang Nianjiao was unwilling to stay at home and insisted on accompanying Jiang Tang to visit other families.

Jiang Tang had no choice but to take Zhang Nianjiao along.

This time, they were heading for the Poison Sect Tang Clan.

Under the cover of night, he used his flying arrows to lead a group of people through the night to the Poison Sect Tang Clan.

The Poison Sect Tang Clan was also located in the Imperial City, albeit secluded in the mountainous area.

The architecture outside was nestled among the mountains.

Once inside the family’s grounds, it was like a paradise on earth, with beautiful flowers and trees planted everywhere.

Seeing such beautiful flowers, none dared to touch them, and even the scent in the air made them hold their breaths.

The Poison Sect’s reputation was well-known in the Martial World.

There were tales of clueless thieves entering this place, ignorant of what the flowers and leaves truly were.

They never anticipated that before even meeting anyone, they would succumb to poisoning and death just by strolling among the plants.

Like some peculiar families, nobody dared to enter or exit casually.

Even with an invitation from the owners, one had to tread carefully and with great caution.

Just like Jiang Tang and his group, led by Tang Yanhong, who guided them through without explaining a single plant in the family grounds.

By the time they had entered, they were already poisoned.

If they didn’t get the antidote from this family, the poison would manifest in two hours, and within a day, they would die an explosive death.

The scent of these poisonous plants was domineering, a slow-acting poison, yet fiercely potent.

Inhaling the scent in the air would poison someone to death, let alone allow them to make a move.

Tang Yanhong had also listened to her family’s arrangement, initially unwilling to be manipulated by her family, and, of course, curious about Jiang Tang.

After meeting her, she wondered how such an excellent person could be shared with others?

Gradually, Tang Yanhong began to attempt to control Jiang Tang and, failing that, harbored murderous intentions.

If she couldn’t have him, she wouldn’t let anyone else have him either.

She was very proud and didn’t want to share a boyfriend with anyone.

Dugu Yan’er used Worm Insect techniques, and she already had the means of deploying the Love Flower.

Upon poisoning Jiang Tang, if he wasn’t devoted only to her, death would be his only option.

She also intended to use poison to control Jiang Tang, making him serve her family and helping them become the strongest family in the Cultivation World, unwilling to settle for second best.

Their family was effective with poisons but didn’t match the cultivation strength of the Xuanyuan Family, just as the Dugu Family had their own strengths but no one quite like the abilities of the Xuanyuan’s members.

Their dream for ten thousand years had been to become the first family in the Cultivation World to achieve Ascension.

As time passed, people thought the Path of Cultivation was incredibly difficult, and death was all that awaited them.

None expected that these days, top-grade Pills would appear, and those who consumed them saw an increase in their cultivation.

The auctions for the Pills were excessively expensive, though.

How could a family afford to buy many?

An individual might buy one or two to boost their cultivation, but they loathed the thought of having no source in the future.

Powerful Loose Cultivators and influential families from the Cultivation World started to mobilize, becoming profligate spenders, all the while extending an invitation to Jiang Tang.

If Jiang Tang didn’t serve them, they would destroy him, controlling him to serve their families.

“Tang Yanhong, you wouldn’t take me to Hell, would you?”

Jiang Tang had become aware of the situation and had secretly consumed several Vitality Pills, which were capable of neutralizing all poisons.

“Yes!

Are you scared?” Tang Yanhong didn’t feel embarrassed in the least.

“Scared, truly quite scared, but whether it’s Heaven or Hell, I will accompany you to the end.

If you think I would accept your invitation without having a few tricks up my sleeve, you’re mistaken,” Jiang Tang said with an easy smile, as if not even the 18 Levels of Hell could frighten him, exuding such confidence that Tang Yanhong felt a bit like punching him.

Jiang Tang’s words put the other eight girls with him on high alert, and they watched Tang Yanhong cautiously.

“Tang Yanhong, you haven’t poisoned us, have you?” Dugu Yan’er said to Tang Yanhong warily.

“Dugu Yan’er, it’s you who resorts to such despicable methods, a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

I didn’t poison you—aren’t you, a poisoner, afraid that others might poison you?”

“Hmph, as if you’d dare to poison us,” Dugu Yan’er retorted, unfazed by Tang Yanhong’s accusation.

“I haven’t poisoned you, but by simply entering this place, you’ve already been poisoned.

Without the antidote from our family, all you can do is wait for death,” Tang Yanhong said arrogantly, her red dress making her blood-red lips even more conspicuous.

“Jiang Tang, what should we do?” Xuanyuan Mengting clung to Jiang Tang’s sleeve, looking worried that he really had been poisoned.

“What can he do?

He should beg me for the antidote!

As long as Jiang Tang you make enough top-grade Pills for our family’s use, I might consider giving you an antidote.”

Tang Yanhong paused, still looking down arrogantly at Jiang Tang, showing no regard for the other girls.

Even if they pleaded, she would not give them the antidote.

The girls who had arrived with Jiang Tang, except for Xuanyuan Mengting, looked around, thinking of flying out to find an antidote.

“You are free to go.

The poison from the plants here cannot be cured by outsiders.

In an hour, you’ll feel the effects of the poison.

Without the antidote in time, you’ll explode in death, and even your souls will be annihilated.”

Upon hearing Tang Yanhong’s confident declaration, the girls were all frantically looking at Tang Yanhong, thinking about attacking her.

“I advise you not to make a move.

It might look peaceful here, but our family’s people are nearby.

Make one move, and you’ll be attacked.

What’s more important is, at this moment, you are unable to use your Spiritual Energy.

The poison is like having consumed a Spirit Dissolving Pill, rendering your Spiritual Energy immobile, and it will gradually deplete.”

Tang Yanhong’s words threw everyone into a panic, as each girl tried to feel their Spiritual Energy.

“Ah!

It really is restrained,” Yuan Baozhu screamed in panic.

“Tang Yanhong, give me the antidote fast, or I won’t be polite to you,” Yun Duoduo thought about how to detoxify herself and regretted not using the Enchantment Spell earlier—now that she was under someone else’s control, she had missed a great opportunity.
