Chapter 65: The Nine Poison Sect

At this moment, the elders and Uncle Meng removed their hands from Shen Tianhu’s body. They were all sweating profusely, looking somewhat pale and weary. It was evident that they had expended a great deal of their true qi.

"Thank you all seniors for helping my dad drive out the toxins. How is he now" Shen Xiang asked. Although his tone was calm, there was genuine concern in his heart. Shen Tianhu was his father and a close relative who cared for him from childhood, so he was very worried about losing this dad.

"Rest assured, the toxins are temporarily suppressed but not completely eliminated. The extreme poisons have fully entered his bones and meridians, seeping into his organs. Fortunately, they can hold the toxins in check at the moment; otherwise...Uncle Meng explained.

Shen Xiang closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then clenched his fists tightly. Anger welled up inside him as an invisible killing intent surged from his body.

Shen Tianhu slowly opened his eyes. Although his voice was weak, it was full of rage: "The Nine Poison Gang are a bunch of scoundrels. They have plotted against our Shen family multiple times, so I went to settle the accounts personally. In the end, we had a fight. After I killed their two bosses and five elders, that gang leader attempted to poison me from behind. At the moment, I didn’t continue fighting and rushed back at great speed!

Shen Xiang froze, and even the elders and Uncle Meng looked incredulously at Shen Tianhu!

"Dad... you actually ventured alone into the Nine Poison Gang! Shen Xiang gasped. The Nine Poison Gang was a very wicked organization, primarily using toxins to attack and was feared by many martial artists as a black force. Decades ago, two families sent top experts to target them, but none returned.

Later, it was the leaders of those two families who went and couldn’t return either!

"Humph, what to fear Since our Shen family absorbed the Medicine Family, this Nine Poison Gang has been at odds with us. They always try to snatch our goods and have secretly assassinated over ten Shen family members. If this gang isn’t eliminated, they will kill more of our family members. Shen Tian said angrily.

"Do not become agitated.

Uncle Meng warned.

Shen Tianhu’s actions were indeed shocking. By killing two bosses and five elders of the Nine Poison Gang, he dealt a significant blow to their organization, greatly weakening its foundation.

Shen Lushong walked over and showed them a thick cloth-wrapped needle. "This needle appeared from his arm when we were suppressing the toxins for him. After it pierces someone’s body, it causes numbness without being noticed by the person. Tianhu’s spiritual awareness is stronger than usual and he sensed his body’s conditions, so he didn’t continue fighting. Otherwise, the toxins would have spread even more.

Looking at that needle, Shen Xiang’s eyes widened considerably. His expression became even more solemn!

"I’ve seen this needle before! Shen Xiang clenched his fist tightly. He remembered that during his previous encounter with Crown Prince Song Nanming, the latter had released this tiny needle, and Cold Yulan was also hit by it. However, the poison wasn’t too strong.

"It’s that Crown Prince. When Cold Yulan fought him, he released ice needles to poison her. During our martial arts contest, his steel needle was burned by me. Shen Xiang said with a furrowed brow.

Shen Xiang was puzzled about how the Crown Prince could possess such an item, but now that he saw the Nine Poison Gang also had something like this, it was only logical to relate them together.

"The Medicine Emperor is peaceful, but collaborating with the Nine Poison Gang won’t benefit him. That Crown Prince might have privately contacted them. Uncle Meng said, suspecting that the poison inflicted on Cold Yulan was also driven away by him.

"I’ll definitely investigate this! Dad, where is the Nine Poison Gang Shen Xiang asked. His eyes burned with intense anger.

"Windy Chaos Mountain. Be careful in every way! Shen Tianhu knew his son well and trusted his strength. Even such a powerful Medicine Family was taken down by Shen Xiang.

"Don’t worry, Uncle Meng. The toxins in Tianhu’s body can be forced out after some time. Shen Lushong patted Shen Xiang’s shoulder.

Shen Xiang left the secret room, rode his horse out of town, and headed east towards the capital. Windy Chaos Mountain was notorious for bandits gathering there, with rumors of a gang assembling the scattered robbers. Now, it was rumored to be the Nine Poison Gang!

As soon as he left town, Shen Xiang realized someone was following him. He pretended not to notice and continued on his way. After eliminating Medicine Family, it was impossible for its remnants to seek revenge against him. However, considering his current strength, there was no need to worry about retaliation.

Entering the forest, Shen Xiang left his horse behind and charged through the woods at full speed. He deliberately slowed down to let those following him catch up, only to find that they didn’t seem inclined to attack but were merely keeping watch on him.

"Could it be that someone knew I was going to Windy Chaos Mountain Shen Xiang suddenly thought about the possibility of a trap ahead. He assumed there might be an ambush.

Deeper into the forest, he suddenly noticed that those following him had somehow moved to block his path. Now, Shen Xiang was certain there was an ambush ahead!

Indeed, after a brief sprint, he saw someone sitting in front of him! The area ahead was barren with no trees planted. Bare earth covered with fallen leaves appeared out of nowhere, and there sat a luxurious chair. Sitting on the chair was a handsome young man.

"Song Nanming! Shen Xiang glared at the once-maimed crown prince who had appeared here. If not for the abundance of excellent spirit medicine, he wouldn’t have recovered so quickly.

Song Nanming was here only for one reason: he had a close relationship with the Nine Poison Gang. After Shen Tianhu left, if the Nine Poison Gang sent a flying eagle to deliver a message, Song Nanming would still have time to arrive here.

Following Shen Xiang’s style, once Shen Tianhu was poisoned and left, Shen Xiang would definitely come to avenge him. Song Nanming hated Shen Xiang deeply and would normally lay ambushes on the road.

Shen Xiang immediately realized this, knowing that there must be many members of the Nine Poison Gang surrounding him, ready to use deadly weapons. However, he remained calm and collected.

As a medicinal alchemist, Shen Xiang had long prepared to deal with toxins. With his Eighth Stage Firmament martial arts strength, his acumen was sharp. Song Nanming’s attempt with the needle didn’t work last time.

Behind Song Nanming stood four burly men, exuding pure qi. They were clearly top-notch insiders.

"Song Nanming, I didn’t expect you to collaborate with the Nine Poison Gang. The legitimate crown prince of South Wu Kingdom actually grafted yourself onto this evil force, how disgraceful! If word gets out, hrmph! Shen Xiang said with a cold smile.

"Shen Xiang, you’ll die regardless of your bravado. Once I’m dead, who will know about my relationship with the Nine Poison Gang Ha ha... once you’re gone, I’ll definitely exterminate your Shen family later when I become the emperor. I’m going to be a genuine emperor! Song Nanming said crazily.

The emperor of South Wu Kingdom was a figurehead, only responsible for managing the entire country. He had no power to intervene when something happened between Shen Family and Medicine Family, as he lacked the strength to do so. His power was limited.

Song Nanming was the crown prince, making him the next emperor. He longed for power and didn’t want his family of martial arts to dominate him, so he sought good relations with the Nine Poison Gang now. Once in power, he could use this force to secretly eliminate families that opposed him.

"Act now, make sure he doesn’t leave here alive. With Song Nanming’s loud command, a gust of chilling wind swept through the forest!eaking through them.But Shen Xiang knew that arrays weren’t broken by brute force. If someone was proficient in arrays, even the weakest could break through them."Grandfather, who is the strongest per...
