Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind. Since all of them were poisoned by this strange poison, did it prove that the source of the poison was here?
Yan Ci saw the black ring on Shen Youshu's hand and suddenly said to her: "There is something strange about that woman. Be careful. I will go and take a look first."
When Shen Youshu saw the handsome man disappear, she felt a little uneasy in her heart, "What are you doing hiding here?"
A deep male voice crying came from behind her. She was suddenly startled, straightened up, turned around vigilantly, and saw Yan Ci hugging the pillow in his arms and looking at her indifferently.
Oh no, run!
Just as Shen Youshu was about to throw the talisman paper at him, Yan Ci's hand grabbed her wrist first. Shen Youshu felt a sharp pain in her wrist, and the talisman paper in her hand fell to the ground.
"There is an evil aura about you. You are colluding with the evil spirit." Yan Ci played with a purple ring with a burning gaze.
"This, this is not mine. I got it from Senior Sister Yan. If you like it, I will give it to you." A dark look flashed across Shen Youshu's eyes. Damn it, she was seen through by this pretty boy.
Originally, because of his good looks, I wanted to take him in as my lover, but I didn't expect that this guy has some skills. I absolutely cannot let him ruin my master's plan.
Shen Youshu suddenly revealed a pitiful look, with crystal tears hanging in her eyes, which might fall at any time. Any male cultivator would feel pity for her if they saw her like this, but it was a pity that Yan Ci was not an ordinary person.
Seeing that Yan Ci's eyes were fixed on the ring in his hand, she suddenly looked fierce and stretched out her slender black nails to attack Yan Ci's heart.
This wisp of black air made him very uneasy. He seemed to remember the extremely tragic war that year, in which the ancient evil demon destroyed all the lives of the people on the entire continent. This breath was very similar to the breath on his body. He would rather make a mistake than let it go.
Suddenly, a palm wind came from his chest, and his eyes suddenly became cold. He grabbed her neck faster than her.
"You are really looking for death. I wanted to spare your life." He pinched Shen Youshu's neck hard, and there was a sound of bones breaking, and blood flowed out of her mouth.
As her consciousness gradually blurred, Shen Youshu felt extremely unwilling.
Why is this happening?
Two hundred years ago, she was an ordinary illegitimate daughter of the Shen family in the mortal world. Just before being sold by her grandmother, she finally escaped from the Shen family. On the way to escape, she encountered an evil cultivator and was rescued by her master. She embarked on the path to immortality. From then on, she vowed allegiance to her master.
Since she embarked on the immortal path, she had a dream every night. She dreamed that she was a cannon fodder female supporting role in the book, serving as a stepping stone for the heroine's growth.
This nightmare haunted her for hundreds of years until she was ordered by her master to infiltrate Zixia Sect, where she discovered that everything in the book was reality, and accidentally discovered the book "Two or Three Things I Have to Say to the Immortal Lord".
She had finally escaped from the clutches of the Shen family and embarked on the path to immortality, so how could she be willing to be just a cannon fodder in the book?
In that case, she killed the heroine in the book.
So she had an idea and killed the Nanshan tea drinker, replaced herself in the book with Yan Lingxi, and used evil magic to deliberately tamper with Yan Lingxi's memory, causing her to target Leng Qingning everywhere.
Unexpectedly, Yan Ci appeared halfway through, a character who had never appeared in the book. She died just like that, so unwilling!
As a tear fell from the corner of her eye, a strong resentment penetrated into the ring in her hand. The ring emitted a faint light and tried to escape. Yan Ci pulled it back with force and trapped the ring in his palm.
In the dark palace, rows of puppets of various shapes were placed, looking extremely weird. Suddenly, one of the puppets broke into pieces, and the black-robed man sitting cross-legged on the mat suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the broken puppet.
The three characters "Chen Youshu" were engraved on the puppet doll. The man in black cursed angrily, "Humph, what a loser! You messed up such a small thing!"
In the secret realm, Yan Ci finished dealing with Shen Youshu and returned to Leng Qingning with an unhappy expression.
Looking at the dejected and lifeless people, Leng Qingning spoke out her thoughts, "Fellow Daoists, listen to me first. Instead of wasting time here, why don't we think about how to find a way to break the poison in our bodies?"
The people who originally had gloomy eyes suddenly had a light in their eyes after hearing the word "antidote", but then their eyes became lonely again.
Dongfang Shuo sneered and said, "That sounds nice, but you're not a pharmacist. How can you break this strange and overbearing poison?"
"That's right, since you don't know anything, don't waste our time. We are in a hurry to leave here."
Leng Qingning paid no attention to the mocking expressions on everyone's faces. Instead, she sneered, "You don't think the poison in your body will stop working if you leave here, do you? That's too naive. As long as the poison remains in your body, you could die at any time!"
Her words were like a hammer, striking everyone's heart.
She was right. Even if he left here, what would happen? He would still die if the poison in his body was not cured.
"Although I don't know how to detoxify this poison, have you ever considered that the black lines on our bodies only appeared after we entered this place? Does this prove that the source of the poison is here?"
"What good is it if we know the source of the poison is here? Can we still make an antidote?" a disciple retorted loudly.
The smile on Leng Qingning's face suddenly grew even brighter. "This fellow Daoist is half right. We can really find an antidote. As everyone knows, God is merciful and will always leave a ray of hope for everything. If a poisonous creature grows within five steps, there must be an antidote. So there should be an antidote here. We are many people, and if we work together, we will definitely find the antidote."
Then, she looked at the men in black with a gleam of light in her eyes.
The man in black suddenly felt his scalp tingle. Why was this woman's smile so creepy?
Hearing this, everyone was somewhat convinced by her and said, "Fellow Daoist Leng, what you said makes a lot of sense. If you need anything from us, just let us know!"
"Of course I need you all, but you guys have been eyeing us covetously. If you want to get the antidote, you must ensure our safety."
Seeing the black-clad man's grim expression, everyone's mood suddenly brightened.
Leng Qingning said: "How about this, I won't make things difficult for you. You all must swear that you will never attack us in the secret realm. If you make things difficult for us, I will tell you the antidote."
Two of the men in black immediately stood up and retorted, "You're dreaming!"
"We will never disobey our Lord's orders!"
The leading man in black looked at the two men unkindly and said, "Get out of here, don't forget that I am the leader."
