Chapter 594 Reaping the Profits
When Chai Xin rushed to the mountain, he saw Sikong Xuan kneeling on the ground respectfully.

Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing were still wearing the clothes of Lingjiu Palace, riding on the back of Black Rose, looking domineering and bossy.

"Where's the little girl from the Zhong family? Bring her here quickly."

Duan Yu spoke with his throat pinched.

Sikong Xuan turned around and winked at the two female gang members behind him. The two immediately stood up, ran to the back hall, and carried Zhong Ling over.

"Untie her." Duan Yu said again.

Although Sikong Xuan was confused, he did not dare to ask more questions because of the prestige of Lingjiu Palace. He could only say respectfully, "Yes."

After saying that, he drew out the sword of a disciple beside him and cut all the ropes tied to Zhong Ling's hands and feet.

The acupoint pressing method has a time limit, and his skills are quite profound. The acupoint pressing can only last for half a quarter of an hour at most. Naturally, it is more convenient and safer to tie him up with a rope.

Duan Yu was delighted to see that Zhong Ling was safe and sound, and he said in a squeezed voice: "Zhong Ling, come here."

Zhong Ling didn't recognize him and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

Seeing this, Sikong Xuan immediately scolded: "Don't be rude in front of the Holy Envoy. I told you to go over, so go over quickly. How dare you talk nonsense?"

Zhong Ling secretly thought that a wise man would not suffer a loss in front of him, so he walked over as he was told.

Then he walked in front of Duan Yu.

Duan Yu happily got off his horse and wanted to ask Zhong Ling to sit on it, but he felt it was inappropriate, so he turned to Sikong Xuan and said, "Where is the antidote for the Heartbreak Powder? Bring it quickly."

Sikong Xuan was even more surprised, but the fear he had formed over a long period of time still took over his mind. He did not dare to neglect it at all and ordered his disciples, "Go and get my medicine box!"

He also secretly speculated in his heart: "I think it must be that kid named Duan who went to ask the Holy Envoy of Lingjiu Palace for help, so the Holy Envoy came here."

The medicine box was brought over quickly. Sikong Xuan opened it immediately, took out a porcelain bottle, bowed his head and presented it to him, saying respectfully: "Take this antidote once a day for three days, one coin each time, and it will detoxify you."

Duan Yu was overjoyed and took it in his hand.

Zhong Ling who was standing beside him suddenly said, "Old man, do you still have the antidote? You promised to help Brother Duan detoxify. If you give all of it to this person, what will happen to Brother Duan?"

Duan Yu was so moved that he couldn't help but reach out and hold Zhong Ling's small hand and squeeze it gently.

Sikong Xuan said: "The amount of this medicine is enough for the two of you to detoxify. But..."

He could no longer hold back and knelt on the ground again, begging, "Your Excellency the two Holy Envoys: I was bitten by the girl's lightning marten and was severely poisoned. Please spare my life!"

As he said this, he kowtowed repeatedly, looking quite pitiful, without any trace of his previous arrogance.

The way he asked for medicine stunned both Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing.

Both of them are fake Holy Envoys of Lingjiu Palace, so how could they find any elixir to detoxify?

But if he is not detoxified at this moment, I am afraid the situation will not be resolved.

At the critical moment, Duan Yu was more alert. He walked closer to Mu Wanqing and whispered, "Why don't you give him some of your perfume powder and get rid of it first."

Mu Wanqing had no other choice but to do as he said and took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve.

"This precious medicine is precious. Just extend your hand over here and I'll give you some to detoxify you."

"Thank you for your kindness, Holy Envoy. I will never forget your kindness!"

Upon hearing this, Sikong Xuan was immediately overjoyed. He just knelt down, crawled to the front of the horse, and raised his hands high above his head.

Duan Yu took the porcelain bottle and poured some green powder onto his palm.

"Divide this medicine into five portions, mix each portion with water and take it internally for five consecutive days to detoxify."

He started to talk nonsense in a pinched voice.

When Mu Wanqing uncorked the bottle, Sikong Xuan smelled a strong aroma. Even though he had spent his entire life studying the properties of medicine, he had no idea what drugs it was made of.

When the powder was sprinkled into his palm, he felt so fragrant that his whole body felt light and comfortable. He thought to himself that this was worthy of the powerful Lingjiu Palace. This elixir was indeed extraordinary.

"Thank you for the medicine, Holy Envoy. I am grateful."

Sikong Xuan ordered someone to take out an empty porcelain bottle from the medicine box, carefully poured the medicine powder into it, and then put the lid on, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Sikong Xuan said again: "Saint Envoy, Wuliang Sword Zuo Zimu does not know obedience and disobedience, and he has been disobeying orders. And now he has been poisoned by Diao. We should take this opportunity to capture Jianhu Palace. To avoid any accidents, please ask the Saint Envoy to supervise the battle here."

What he meant was that he was praying for the two Holy Envoys of Lingjiu Palace to lend him a helping hand.

But Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing are both fakes, how could they help him?

Duan Yu immediately shook his head and said, "Forget it. There is no need to fight the Jianhu Palace anymore. Just withdraw your troops immediately!"

Sikong Xuan was shocked when he heard this.

He has always known the temper of the people in Lingjiu Palace. The calmer the tone when speaking, the heavier the punishment will be afterwards.

He thought the Holy Envoy was deliberately speaking in a sarcastic way, blaming him for his incompetence, and he bowed down again in haste: "I deserve to die! I will take over Jianhu Palace within three days, and I will never dare to fail Tong Lao's orders!"

Duan Yu saw that he had misunderstood and was afraid that if he said more he would be exposed, so he simply waved his hand, took Zhong Ling and turned away.

Seeing this, Sikong Xuan did not dare to stop him and immediately kowtowed and said, "The Shennong Gang respectfully sends off the two holy envoys and wishes the old lady Tong Lao a long life and good health."

The gang members behind him had not dared to stand up, but now they hurriedly said in unison: "The Shennong Gang respectfully sends off the two holy envoys, and wishes the old lady Tong Lao a long life and good health."

But at this moment, a voice came from a distance.

"The two Holy Envoys have come to visit us. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person! Please stay!"

However, Zuo Zimu had just learned that the Holy Envoy from Lingjiu Palace had arrived and had given Sikong Xuan an elixir to detoxify him, and he could no longer sit still.

"If the two Holy Envoys can give me the antidote, I will hand over Jianhu Palace to you and serve you from now on without any disobedience!"

Seeing that his life was in danger, the old guy had no time to care about the foundation of his sect and just surrendered.

Unfortunately, Duan Yu was afraid of complications, so he refused to stay any longer and just pinched his voice and said, "Left Sect Leader is so arrogant that he actually wants to make a deal with my Lingjiu Palace?"

After that, without waiting for Zuo Zimu to answer, he said to Sikong Xuan: "Sikong Xuan, Tong Lao ordered you to attack Jianhu Palace, but you lived in peace with him. Could it be that you don't take Tong Lao's words seriously?"

These words are extremely serious.

Sikong Xuan was so frightened that he almost peed himself, and immediately said in a trembling voice: "I have absolutely no such intention, and I dare not disobey Tong Lao's order!"

"In that case, you should know what to do." Duan Yu said lightly, and without looking back, he went down the mountain with Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing.

"Zuo Zimu, either get out of Wuliang Mountain right away or die immediately. Make a decision quickly!"

Sikong Xuan thought he had the antidote in his hands, so he had no worries at all.

Coupled with the scolding from the Holy Envoy just now, he realized that this mission was urgent. If he dared to delay any further, he was afraid that the people who would come tomorrow would not be just these two Holy Envoys.

He had seen the methods of the Child-Fairy of Tianshan. When the Life and Death Talisman was activated, it was enough to make people unable to live or die.

"This this!"

Zuo Zimu was stunned at the time. He wanted to surrender wholeheartedly, so why wasn't he given any chance at all?
For a moment, facing Sikong Xuan's threat, he didn't know how to react.

"Sikong Xuan, if you can get me the antidote for the mink poison, I will retreat without saying a word!" After calming down a little, he could only grit his teeth and say this.

However, Sikong Xuan sneered upon hearing this, and said in a grim tone: "The two Holy Envoys are already dissatisfied with my previous behavior, and you still want me to go and ask for medicine for you? Do you think I'm not dying fast enough?"

After saying that, he raised the sword in his hand and shouted, "Everyone listen up, break through Jianhu Palace and destroy Wuliang Sword, now!"

"Break through Jianhu Palace and destroy Wuliang Sword!"

The Shennong Gang members responded immediately.

Sikong Xuan shouted to the Wuliang Sword Sect, "Those who surrender will not be killed. If you have no intention of resisting, you can leave the mountain immediately!"

"Whoever dares to defect, I will kill him on the spot! If anyone kills Sikong Xuan, and I die from the poison, he will inherit the position of the head of the sect! Even if I am lucky enough to detoxify, I can make him the young head of the sect!"

Zuo Zimu immediately drew his sword and used his ultimate move.

The Wuliang Sword Sect's members, whose morale was already low and there was a sense of unrest, couldn't help but have a gleam of light in their eyes after hearing these words.

The Wuliang Sword Sect has been established in this area for hundreds of years. Although it has declined in recent years, its foundation is still good. The sect leader has always been well-dressed and well-fed, with many people following him. Who wouldn't be envious?

Compared with the Wuliang Sword, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Shennong Gang is just a bunch of mud-legged people.

It was only with some training from Lingjiu Palace that he was able to have the strength to suppress Wuliang Sword today.

Of course, there were also disciples of the Wuliang Sword Sect who were afraid of the power of the Shennong Gang. They were already shaken in their hearts, but they did not dare to show it at this time.

"If you are stubborn, kill!"

At Sikong Xuan's command, the gang members behind him immediately rushed forward.

"Whoever kills Sikong Xuan will be the next leader!"

Zuo Zimu shouted loudly and led the charge, with the sword in his hand pointing directly at Sikong Xuan.

Seeing their leader was so brave, all the disciples of Wuliang Sword Sect were aroused and rushed forward.

For a moment, hundreds of people were hacking and killing each other, and the scene was extremely bloody.

But no one noticed that a figure dressed in black brocade clothes was hiding in the bushes beside the mountain road, quietly watching the whole scene.

"What a bad time to come! Why are they fighting now?"

This person is naturally Chai Xin.

He felt a little regretful in his heart. The two factions were fighting at this moment. Although the scene was chaotic, it was really difficult for him to take advantage of the situation.

At the moment, my strength is still too weak. In such a melee, it is easy to lose my life accidentally.

If the two factions were temporarily at peace, he could sneak in quietly, then knock down a group of people one by one with various poisons, and then slowly absorb their internal strength.

"In this situation, we can only see if we can find a bargain."

Chai Xin decided to wait for the opportunity.

The Shennong Gang brought seventy to eighty people this time. In addition to the disciples who were training outside or running businesses in various places, there were more than a hundred people left in the Wuliang Sword Sect.

Nearly two hundred people participated in this bloody fight between the two sides, which was a large scale.

Although the Wuliang Sword Sect had the advantage in numbers, they were no match for the Shennong Gang's use of poison!

The Shennong Gang first took the antidote, and then they began to spread all kinds of poison powders and venoms unscrupulously.

If the disciples of Wuliang Sword Sect come into contact with the poison, their strength will be weakened at best, and their muscles will be severely damaged at worst, causing them to scream in pain.

After several battles, many disciples of the Wuliang Sword Sect were seriously injured, some were dizzy, their limbs were weak, and they suddenly fell to the ground.

This kind of battle situation caused the fighting spirit of the Wuliang Sword Sect to decline rapidly. They were already on the verge of defeat, and many disciples began to flee.

Sikong Xuan and Zuo Zimu were evenly matched in the fight, but due to the effects of various poisons, the latter was gradually losing the upper hand.

If this continues, Zuo Zimu will definitely not be able to hold on for long.

The location where Chai Xin was located happened to be the entrance to the mountain. No matter which disciple from the two factions wanted to escape, this was the only way to go.

When he saw a seriously injured or lone escapee, he would rush up and hit him with a club.

In less than half an hour, the number of disciples from both factions who had been knocked unconscious by him and whose internal energy had been absorbed had reached as many as seventeen!

The strength of these seventeen people is mostly similar to that of Gan Guanghao and his companions, and their total internal strength reaches more than sixty years!
However, after the purification of "Daoxuan Gong", only one tenth of it actually became Chai Xin's internal strength.

Moreover, after Chai Xin's skills reached five years, "Daoxuan Gong" was naturally upgraded to the second level.

Then, when absorbing energy from guys whose skills have been practiced for less than five years, the increase in internal strength will be minimal.

Chai Xin's current skills have only remained at the level of a little over five years.

However, due to the peculiarities of the internal strength cultivated by "Daoxuan Gong", as well as Chai Xin's naturally strong physique and rich combat experience, even many martial arts figures who have reached ten years of skills can hardly be his opponents.

Sikong Xuan and Zuo Zimu, who had been fighting for a long time, had consumed a huge amount of physical and internal strength.

Given the two's current state, even if they work together, they may not be able to gain any benefit from Chai Xin.

"Zuo Zimu, I gave you a way to live but you refused. You deserve to die under my sword today!"

Sikong Xuan slapped Zuo Zimu on the shoulder with his palm, causing him to stagger and almost fall to the ground.

At the same time, he thrust his sword straight at Zuo Zimu's chest, about to kill him.

"when!"

At this critical moment of life and death, a cold light came from the side. It was a long sword, which steadily blocked Sikong Xuan's sword light, making a crisp sound.

"Who dares to interfere in the affairs of our Shennong Gang?"

Sikong Xuan only felt a huge force transmitted from the sword tip to his arm, and then surged throughout his body, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

I'm afraid this person's skills are not at their peak.

But this is the critical moment of the war, and as the leader of the Shennong Gang, he must not show any weakness.

"Why kill them all? Jianhu Palace will take over, please spare Sect Leader Zuo's life."

The one who blocked Sikong Xuan was not someone else but Chai Xin.

Although Chai Xin's clothes were tattered, they still looked gorgeous and elegant. The calm and detached temperament in his every move made people unable to help but look at him sideways.

Especially when he saw his handsome and youthful face, which looked no more than twenty years old, Sikong Xuan was greatly shocked.

"This person definitely looks no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, yet he already has such skills? I'm afraid he is not weaker than several Saint Envoys of the same age in Lingjiu Palace!"

In fact, if we only talk about martial arts skills, Chai Xin at this time is not considered to be the best among the young disciples of the major sects.

But in terms of vision, sense of smell for battle, and grasp of timing, it can be said that no one could match him at that time.
