System's Super Sect Chapter 1467 - 1137: Old Poisoner Wen Yan

The words fell.

The silent poisonous mist erupted violently.

Boom——

In an instant, the purple-black poisonous mist spread, covering ten miles in just a moment, and within a few breaths, it directly blanketed an area of a hundred miles.

The Celestial Nether King was stunned for a moment, then heard screams from the Divine Shadow Army and watched as a large number of soldiers fell in the nearby purple-black mist, their skin rapidly decaying, and their vitality quickly slipping away.

So it was for those in the Lower Realm of Mountain Suppression.

The same for those in the Middle Realm of Mountain Suppression.

And still for those in the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression.

Over a million from the Divine Shadow Army were engulfed by the purple-black mist and lost their lives within it.

"What kind of evil thing is this?" The Celestial Nether King, already fearful, retreated immediately, fearing the mist’s encroachment. As they retreated, the cries of agony were endless beside their ears. Majestic soldiers fell within the mist without even the time to escape.

In an instant, over one hundred thousand soldiers of the Divine Shadow Army perished.

As time went on, more and more from the Divine Shadow Army fell. Among the million soldiers covered by the poisonous mist, ninety-nine percent quickly succumbed within the toxic substance. Those who managed to escape were all at or above Earth Unrestricted levels.

Those at Half-Step Earth Unrestricted, although not immediately poisoned to death, were severely injured in the mist because they couldn’t leave swiftly enough.

This scene terrified the soldiers at the back of the ranks, causing them to retreat hurriedly and quickly exit the Curved Realm Passage.

Those still immersed in the shock of three million soldiers crossing the border were stunned to see many frightened soldiers from the Divine Shadow Army running out of the Curved Realm Passage.

What happened?

Why are they running out again?

And each of them looks terrified.

As they puzzled over this, the Celestial Nether King was also astonished.

"Poison? What kind of poison is this, so domineering that it killed nearly a million of my troops in a moment." The Celestial Nether King watched the scene from afar in bewilderment.

Compared to the Celestial Nether King, Prince Longyang showed a trace of a smile but quickly concealed it, feigning alarm, "In an instant, nearly a million soldiers were poisoned to death. This poison is too domineering, and it’s blocked off the Curved Realm Passage."

He believed it was certainly people from the Immortal Sect.

Because apart from those from the Immortal Sect, he couldn’t think of anyone with such an ability, one that could instantly poison a million soldiers of the Divine Shadow Army.

No survivors below Earth Unrestricted.

If this happened two or three more times, the three million soldiers would be entirely wiped out before even reaching the Red Domain.

In his panic, the Celestial Nether King hurriedly commanded everyone to pass through the Curved Realm Passage quickly, to avoid the same trick being used again, "The Immortal Sect, it’s definitely the Immortal Sect again. No one else in the world could create a poison that could kill millions."

"Pass through the Curved Realm Passage at full speed," Prince Longyang secretly smiled while pretending to be anxious, shouting to the soldiers outside the poisonous mist.

Half a day later, the soldiers of the Divine Shadow Army, finally standing on the land of the Red Domain after emerging from the Curved Realm Passage, felt relieved.

Because that passage was simply too terrifying.

Since birth, they had never experienced such a horrible nightmare. Nearly a million soldiers, poisoned to death in an instant.

The fallen soldiers, if led by a Celestial Unrestricted powerhouse, could easily annihilate any Six-star influence of the You Country!

As they exited the Curved Realm Passage, the Celestial Nether King immediately glared angrily at Prince Longyang, "Was it you who informed the Immortal Sect?"

A million soldiers poisoned to death right before his eyes, an unparalleled humiliation.

If this gets out, wouldn’t the world laugh at them?

Prince Longyang raised a cold eyebrow and said in a deep voice, "Celestial Nether King, don’t falsely accuse me. Do you really think I don’t have a temper?"

The words fell.

Bang——

The Five Veins opened simultaneously.

The Celestial Nether King responded by opening the Meridian Gate.

This scene terrified the people at the exit of the Curved Realm Passage, causing them to flee without hesitation, leaving everything behind.

In the next moment, the Celestial Nether King and Prince Longyang were locked in combat. Their battle soared from the ground to the sky, and although neither could gain the upper hand in a short time, it frightened the entire city’s inhabitants into fleeing. Those who fled slowly perished on the spot, overwhelmed by the shockwaves of the Celestial Level Vein Skill.

...

Jinzhi Building.

Upon receiving news and witnessing the scene, Chen Xie immediately reported the situation to Wen Ping. When Wen Ping learned that a million Divine Shadow soldiers had been poisoned, he was momentarily stunned. Then he heard movement from the teleportation array at Churao Mountain.

Wen Ping quickly stepped out of Tingyu Pavilion and looked into the distance, seeing his father welcoming Old Yuan back with joy.

Seeing this, Wen Ping quickly understood what had transpired, "If I don’t let you sell it, you’ll just use it, won’t you?"

But what could he do, given that the other party was his father?

What could he do?

He couldn’t possibly scold him, could he?

Besides, what his father did wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Wen Ping thought again, "Though it’s a bit harsh, with Father’s Poison Pill, human wave tactics pose no threat to our Immortal Sect."

This wasn’t a bad thing at all.

It effectively ensured the survival of Sect Elders and disciples who lacked strength and would otherwise lose their lives in future wars.

"Alright, you continue with your work then." With that, Wen Ping cut off the connection with the Sound Transmission Stone and resumed cultivating beside the Earthly Cyan Lotus.

Chen Xie was dumbfounded.

Baffled without understanding why.

What happened?

He then reviewed the intelligence reports sent to him several times.

"Could it be that it was someone from our Immortal Sect who poisoned a million Divine Shadow soldiers? Who would do that? I never heard of anyone being so skilled in poison-making."

"Wait a minute!"

"Could it be the old Sect Leader?"

Chen Xie suddenly recalled what the old Sect Leader had asked him before.

Oh my.

It really was the old Sect Leader!

The old Sect Leader is truly formidable.

He actually concocted a Poison Pill capable of killing a million Mountain Suppression Realm powerhouses! Calling him the greatest poisoner in Heaven-Gazing Gorge wouldn’t be an exaggeration, right?

Wouldn’t this be the headline of tomorrow’s Immortal Daily?

...

The next day.

With the release of the Immortal Daily,

people on both ends of the Curved Realm Passage understood the reasons behind the unusual occurrences yesterday.

"I wondered why so many Divine Shadow soldiers fled in terror; turns out they were attacked by the Immortal Sect inside."

"Tsk tsk, keep reading. An old poisoner of the Immortal Sect poisoned nearly a million elite soldiers of the Divine Shadow Army at once, so ruthless!"

"A million soldiers of the Divine Shadow, enough to flatten a Six-star influence instantly, were poisoned by an old poisoner of the Immortal Sect in an instant."

"And Jinzhi Building even reported this publicly, a blatant face-slap to the royal family of You Country."

People discussed while holding the Immortal Daily, and when this news reached those Six-star influences, they felt a chill.

Wow.

Fortunately, when they refused to cooperate with Jinzhi Building back then, the Immortal Sect didn’t act against them; otherwise, their entire sect would have been wiped out, wouldn’t it?

Meanwhile, far away in the Royal Palace of the Central Divine Domain, Ji also received the Immortal Daily sent by his subordinates from the Longze Domain.

After reading it, he angrily threw it in front of the high-ranking officials of the You Country, frightening them into silence.

Only Sikong Zhuxing picked up the Immortal Daily, frowning, and said, "How has the Immortal Sect turned to using poison again?"

"Who are you asking?" Ji shot a cold glare at Sikong Zhuxing.

Sikong Zhuxing quickly continued, "Sovereign, this humble subordinate believes this is a warning from the Immortal Sect to us."

"Do you have to say that?"

This remark made the high-ranking officials lower their heads in fear.

Sikong Zhuxing remained undeterred, as he was currently one of the Sovereign’s most trusted, "Sovereign, I fear we must withdraw the remaining soldiers of the Divine Shadow Army. If the old poisoner of the Immortal Sect repeats this, the three million soldiers will be annihilated. For us in You Country, although not fatal, losing three million soldiers without cause is a huge loss."

Ji immediately ordered, "Immediately command the Celestial Nether King and Prince Longyang, ordering the remaining two million soldiers of the Divine Shadow Army to return to Cang Mountain, leaving only those at Earth Unrestricted and above."
