Chapter 1530: Listen to My Arrangements

Why have the people from the Poison Hall come?

It is said that the new Hall Master of the Poison Hall is the reincarnation of the founder, with an innate poison body, overbearing and unmatched. The Master Teacher Hall sent a nine-star master teacher to investigate, but he was easily poisoned unconscious... Why would they come to rescue someone?

I have seen the information on this Zhang Xuan. He once saved a group of poison masters from a Poison Hall in the Qingyuan Empire and merged them into the War Master Hall. Could this be because of a debt of gratitude?

That was just a low-level Poison Hall; it shouldn't have the qualifications to invite the Right Protector and the Four Venerables, right?

Someone just shouted, 'Who dares to touch my teacher?'... What does that mean? Could Zhang Xuan's students be these poison masters?

...

A sudden turn of events shocked everyone.

Everyone thought Zhang Xuan was doomed this time, but no one expected that three peak figures from the Poison Hall would suddenly appear to rescue him.

Any one of these three could make the continent tremble with a stomp of their foot. If a nine-star master teacher were locked in the same room with them, the former would likely die, showing how terrifying they are.

The Poison Hall has always acted independently and refused to obey orders. Since they dare to leave their lair, how about...

Elder Qu lightly swayed and came to Acting Hall Master Ren Qingyuan, making a cutting gesture.

The Poison Hall has undergone changes in recent years. Left Protector Hu Yiwei was captured by Master Yang as a servant, and the other two Venerables are also dead. These three are the strongest aside from the Hall Master. Even if we act, we must be careful, lest we kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of our own.

After a moment of thought, Ren Qingyuan nodded.

The Poison Hall has always had a bad reputation, but they live in the mountains, protected by poisonous miasma and traps, making it impossible for even the Master Teacher Hall to launch a large-scale siege. Now that they dare to leave their lair and come here to cause trouble, this is indeed the best opportunity to surround and kill them.

Rest assured, Master Ren. The Poison Hall has always been an unstable factor. We have long been prepared to encircle and annihilate them. If they hide in the valley, we might suffer heavy losses, but coming here... Hmph, this will be their death sentence!

Elder Qu's eyes turned cold.

"That's good!"

Ren Qingyuan nodded, and with a light wave of his hand, the dozen or so nine-star masters in the air immediately understood and quietly dispersed, sealing off all possible escape routes.

Ignoring the actions of the masters in the sky and the danger approaching, Shen Que, Lin Jianghai, and the others looked at the young man before them.

A person whom their hall master would acknowledge as teacher and follow wholeheartedly—they all wanted to see what kind of figure he was.

After looking, they were slightly disappointed.

This young man before them was not old, his cultivation was not particularly high, and although his appearance was decent, he seemed far from worth the Poison Hall going all out to rescue.

They really didn't understand why their hall master had made such a decision.

Though puzzled, they didn't show it on their faces, and in unison they knelt on one knee.

"This girl..."

Unexpectedly, the Poison Hall had turned out in full force to rescue him. Zhang Xuan was moved but also somewhat helpless.

Poison masters and the Master Teacher Hall were fundamentally incompatible; if this caused unnecessary trouble, it would be disastrous.

Continuing to rebuild Zhao Ya's meridians, he looked over: "Where is your hall master?"

He had heard her voice earlier, but it was very far away. Since she had come to rescue him, why was she nowhere to be seen?

"Reporting to Master Zhang, the hall master said that the Master Teacher Hall acted unethically by daring to attack you, utterly shameless... She ordered us to come to your aid first, while she went to the nearby Master Teacher Hall to have a look and poison a batch of master teachers first..."

Lin Jianghai clasped his fists.

"Have a look? Poison a batch of master teachers?" Zhang Xuan's eyelids twitched.

Wei Ruyan had been ill since childhood, living a half-dead existence. The rules that others followed meant nothing to her. To save him... she was truly capable of such a thing.

"How dare you, you rats!"

Hearing these words, the many masters arranged around them nearly fell from the sky, each burning with rage.

Ren Qingyuan in particular almost exploded on the spot.

This Poison Hall master, with her innate poison body and unparalleled poison skills, could not be withstood even by nine-star masters, let alone ordinary ones. If she personally acted, it was conceivable that all the masters in the surrounding master halls would be directly afflicted, beyond even divine salvation.

Seize these three along with Zhang Xuan!

Unable to hold back any longer, he let out a loud shout.

Earlier, he had refrained from ordering the many masters to act out of consideration for status, but now the situation was critical, and he could no longer care about that.

If the many masters were harmed, capturing these four would at least serve as leverage.

Yes!

Hearing the command, the many masters shouted in unison. Elder Qu was the first to move, his body flickering as he flipped his palm and struck down at Shen Que.

Sizzle!

The surrounding air grew viscous, and the mighty force seemed as if it would pierce through the ground.

Although Elder Qu was not the strongest among the nine-star masters at the Master Hall headquarters, he was still a super expert who had truly surpassed the ninth level of the Saint Domain. Striking in fury, his true energy churned, and the entire building of the Artifact Refiner Guild could not withstand it, collapsing with a roar.

You want to kill me? One person alone is not enough!

Seeing the opponent's attack, Shen Que curled his lips and snorted coldly, meeting it with a palm strike.

As the Right Protector of the Poison Hall and a super expert who had nearly become its master, Shen Que's strength was not to be underestimated. When their palms clashed, Elder Qu felt his palm force instantly corroded by an invisible power, as if his skin were about to burn.

It's poison!

His pupils contracted. Flipping his wrist, a jade bottle appeared in his palm, and he crushed it fiercely.

Boom!

A torrent shot out from the bottle, like a flood bursting forth. As soon as Shen Que's force touched this substance, it immediately dissolved.

Heavenly Cloud Sacred Water? The Master Hall headquarters is indeed extravagant!

Shen Que's face turned ugly.

Heavenly Cloud Sacred Water was a detoxification sacred substance specially formulated by the Physician Guild, capable of neutralizing all poisons. With so much deployed at once, even his poison skills were somewhat affected.

Against despicable scum like you, it's only prudent to be well prepared!

Seeing that the sacred water was effective and had blocked Shen Que's attack, Elder Qu let out a long cry: "Everyone, act quickly! Let us annihilate these harmful wretches together and eradicate the poison master profession from the continent!"

Good!

The many masters' spirits were greatly roused, and various treasures were immediately brought out in full force.

Whoosh!

All kinds of power rained down like a storm.

Protect Master Zhang!

Seeing so many masters from the Master Hall joining forces to attack, Lin Jianghai's expression changed, and he hurriedly shouted.

Good!

The other two then remembered their purpose and quickly came to his side. Each unleashed their power, forming a protective barrier to block the attacks from outside.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Although their strength was formidable, it was only on par with ordinary nine-star masters. With over a dozen in the air attacking simultaneously, and with Zhang Wuhen, You Ruoxin, Master Zhan, and others assisting, in less than two breaths, cracks appeared in the barrier. The three spat blood and found themselves in danger.

Drop the barrier and follow my instructions!

Just as they were about to be overwhelmed, Zhang Xuan shook his head and spoke in a calm voice.
