The next day, early morning.
Inside the Treasure Pavilion, the guards had just opened the door when they immediately saw Qiu Bai's grayish-white head.
Clearly, Qiu Bai had been dead for some time.
"What...what...what exactly is going on?"
They knew Qiu Bai's identity; not a single member of the Ming Cult dared to lay a hand on him.
"Why did Commander Qiu die here? Could it be... that he offended some important figure?"
The fact that human heads could be hung in their Jubao Tower meant that the elders of the Ming Cult must have known about it.
They could only treat it as something to talk about after dinner, but no one dared to actually investigate the matter.
Otherwise, when I open the door tomorrow, that head might be mine.
In the shadows, Xiao Feng watched them discuss Qiu Bai's cause of death, a faint smile on his face.
This is the fate of those who offend you.
Seeing that Xiao Feng had vented his anger, Chun Tao and Qiu Ju approached him simultaneously and asked, "Shall we go to the main hall together?"
As agreed, the Poison King should return to the Ming Cult during the day.
The Poison King has hunted down many Ming Cult disciples, and this debt must be settled.
Upon hearing that the Poison King was about to arrive at the Ming Cult, Xiao Feng's mind began to race.
Wu Hai's strength should not be underestimated; I believe he can definitely stop Su Mu.
As for Su Xueqing, he should be able to barely control her with his abilities.
This is the best chance to escape, and we can't miss it.
He gestured with his chin towards the direction of the main hall: "Lead the way, I'll go with you to see the main hall."
Seeing that Xiao Feng didn't intend to make things difficult for them, Chun Tao and Qiu Ju led the way with gratitude on their faces.
Just as I was about to step into the main hall, a voice came from beside me.
Xiao Feng turned his head and saw Su Mu approaching slowly with an unpleasant expression.
"Who gave you permission to come to the main hall? You are not allowed to come out without my order."
Wu Hai clearly wanted to take Xiao Feng away, while Su Mu had long considered Xiao Feng as her son-in-law.
A fierce battle is bound to ensue in the struggle for the spoils.
Seeing that Su Mu wanted him to return to the courtyard, Xiao Feng exchanged a glance with Qiu Ju and Chun Tao with an indifferent expression: "Let's go back to the courtyard first."
Since Su Mu has spoken personally, they have no reason to resist.
Little did they know that Xiao Feng had only just returned to the courtyard when his spiritual energy began to spread out.
Having finally gotten a chance to escape, he was determined not to stay here and do nothing.
At the entrance, Qiuju and Chuntao stood guard.
If Su Xueqing hadn't repeatedly reminded them yesterday, they believed that the two of them could have kept him here.
Soon, a muffled sound came from outside the main hall.
"Is my godson dead?"
Su Mu watched as Wu Hai strode in from the doorway, his expression extremely unpleasant.
"Wu Hai, you actually have the guts to come here alone? Do you really think our Ming Cult is a pushover? Someone anyone can trample on?"
Spiritual energy roared from his body, condensing into a huge tiger in front of him.
Seeing that Su Mu was about to give him a hard time right away, Wu Hai's face was full of cold light: "You really want to attack me?"
He waved one hand in front of him, and a bright green snake appeared in front of him.
"go."
Su Mu violently flung the tiger in front of him away and darted heavily toward the emerald green snake.
"Bang..."
When the tiger and snake collided, an extremely powerful spiritual force erupted in the hall.
The emerald green spiritual energy quietly spread out and entered the bodies of the elders present.
Fortunately, they were prepared and were not startled by this sudden scene.
Seeing that Su Mu was about to make a move, Wu Hai stretched out his hand: "Wait, I'm not here to fight you. Is my godson dead?"
Although no one responded, their expressions revealed a lot.
"Haha, that man really isn't dead? Quickly bring out my godson."
The Poison Sect cannot be without a successor. If Xiao Feng refuses to become his adopted son, he might die at his hands.
Seeing that Wu Hai was about to fly into a rage, Su Mu quietly glanced at the Ming Cult disciple beside him and said, "Have Su Xueqing bring Xiao Feng up as soon as possible."
He wasn't afraid of Wu Hai, but this was their Ming Cult's territory.
If the old poison master were to unleash his poisonous skills, I'm afraid all the Ming Cult disciples would die at his hands.
As intelligent as Su Mu is, she would never do something that would result in mutual destruction.
At the entrance, Su Xueqing slowly walked in, holding Xiao Feng's hand, and immediately saw Wu Hai standing beside her.
Xiao Feng felt a pang of anxiety upon seeing Wu Hai's appearance.
He had only heard from others that Wu Hai wanted to take him as his godson.
Unfortunately, he had no evidence whatsoever and was terrified that Wu Hai would kill him the moment they met.
That poison had left him with a deep psychological scar; if it weren't for the Star Absorbing Technique within him, he would have certainly died.
Wu Hai watched the two stride inside, glanced at Xiao Feng, and said with a face full of ecstasy, "Let godfather take a look."
The suction force gradually emanated from his palm, and Xiao Feng was unable to stop himself.
Su Xueqing sensed that Wu Hai intended to attack Xiao Feng, and quietly activated the Heavenly Demon Art within her body.
"Bang..."
The suction force was violently dispelled by this power, and Xiao Feng regained his freedom.
On the high platform, Su Mu, seeing that the two had regained their freedom, beckoned to them: "You two, come here."
Su Xueqing dared not waste any time and pulled Xiao Feng to the high platform.
Without taking his pulse, he was able to use his spiritual power to probe from a distance and discover that the toxins in Xiao Feng's body had been completely removed.
"You are much more capable than my own son. Finally, I, the dignified Poison Sect, have a powerful backer."
It seems he wants to hand over the vast Poison Sect to Xiao Feng for management.
Wu Hai took a step forward and waved in Xiao Feng's direction: "I am very satisfied with your ability to resist poison. Come with me and you will enjoy endless wealth and honor."
With his strength, he would be an honored guest in that city.
He could easily get whatever he wanted, but little did he know that the only word on Xiao Feng's mind was "escape."
Seeing that Wu Hai was trying to forcibly take Xiao Feng away, he landed in front of Xiao Feng with a burst of power from his legs, and spiritual energy rippled on his palms.
"Bang..."
A loud bang was heard, and Wu Hai and Su Mu both took a few steps back, surprised by the power of their respective strengths.
"What do you mean by this? Do I need your Ming Cult's permission to take my godson away?"
If they didn't have a formal status, Wu Hai would definitely take them away and wouldn't give them any face.
Seeing that Wu Hai was about to lose his temper, Su Mu pointed at Su Xueqing with her chin: "He has already become my daughter's son-in-law. Isn't it going too far to want to take someone away at a time like this?"
Upon learning that Xiao Feng and Su Xueqing were already together, he was overjoyed: "Haha, then we'll be in-laws from now on! I'll pass on all my martial arts skills to him..."
In his mind, the future of the Poison Sect had already appeared.
He looked up again at Xiao Feng and Su Xueqing, and beckoned them: "You two come with me. I will not kill you."
