However, until the people were sent to the villa to rest, the servants did not notice anything unusual. When they went back to report, they only truthfully described that the group of people looked slightly tipsy, their steps were still steady, and they were just a little drunk.
Of course, I was also caught off guard by a mouthful of dog food...
God knows what expressions these single dogs had when they saw that charming pet acting coquettishly and cutely and asking its owner to carry it around.
Anyway, it's hard to put it into words...
Little did they know that this was something Bai Yumo and Shen Wuyou had already anticipated.
They needed time to discuss strategies, and the city lord also needed to buy time to wait for them to poison the table. In such an occasion, the only person who could be considered important but had no status and had never seen the world, and who was drunk, could leave the table in a rage, which would not be considered rude or impolite.
The rest of the people are all outstanding people. Apart from being immortals, they are also princes and noble ladies with prominent family backgrounds and strict family traditions. The etiquette and rules they have been taught since childhood will never allow them to do anything inappropriate.
So no matter how much you drink, you should only act slightly tipsy. If you overdo it, it will backfire and arouse suspicion.
This way, the city lord will be convinced and have a plan in mind, and then he will decide whether to proceed to the next step and how to proceed...
......
When the people in the villa saw the young servant leave, they simply waved their hands to create a barrier. Their slightly drunk faces instantly returned to normal and they no longer concealed their feelings.
The truly drunk Shen Wuyou was directly picked up and placed on the ground. Just as he was about to stagger, Bai Yumo quickly caught him and said helplessly, "You are really amazing. You can even get drunk like this."
Shen Wuyou's mind was a bit confused, but he still heard the other party's tone of disdain and immediately retorted: "You're still blaming me? I'm already a Xuan-level person, but I can't even detect poison."
Hearing this, Bai Yumo actually smiled very proudly and said to her in a smug way, "You never thought, we're fine! Alas~ The emperor's pride, immune to all poisons! Are you angry?"
Shen Wuyou suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and shortness of breath. He held his breath and glared at her: "Why?!"
"Because it's a detoxification pill, the highest grade! Made by the dean himself, it cures all poisons, and there's no limit to how many times you can use it. It's awesome!"
Shen Wuyou said in disbelief, "Then won't you ever be poisoned to death again?!"
"Not really. Although there is no limit on the number of times, there is a time limit. It only works for one year." Bai Yumo explained.
“When I first set out to search for the holy artifact, I knew I would encounter dangers of varying sizes along the way. So, to be on the safe side, I took the detoxification pill.
"Of course, it was also a warning, a reminder that we must obtain all the holy artifacts within a year. Although the dean gave us ten years, everyone knew that was the final deadline.
"For thousands of years, it has been like this. When a ferocious beast is about to emerge, the oppressed races will inevitably lend a hand, hoping that Hunyuan can destroy this world and re-establish a new set of rules, an era that can belong to them.
"So they will definitely make some moves, and the search for the Eight Sacred Artifacts won't be concealed for much longer. By then, it will be truly difficult to deal with. Therefore, we must do everything in our power to put an end to this as soon as possible."
"But you only found one." Shen Wu complained humorously.
Bai Yumo glanced at her and said happily, "But we've only been setting off for less than a week."
Shen Wuyou:...Forget it, forget it, doesn’t it feel good to sleep?
Shen Wuyou was helped to lie down on the mattress in the inner room to rest, while the others were discussing the follow-up matters.
According to the plan, if the city lord had already known that someone in the ghost clan had betrayed him, then whether for the sake of reputation or immortality, he must cut the grass and root out to prevent future troubles.
But Bai Yumo and his group had very prominent backgrounds. Once they died, both Xuwang Mountain, Beiyan Kingdom, and Huangquan Kingdom would launch a thorough investigation, and his situation would then become even more dangerous.
Therefore, the best way at the moment is to cooperate with the ghost clan, work together to strangle this group of people, and throw the crime of killing immortals to the unforgivable ghost clan. I believe no one will suspect anything.
If the ghosts were to claim the title of having successfully eliminated Xuwang Mountain's most favored disciple, they would surely become famous and attract more evil spirits who wish to destroy the human race to join them.
By then, the ghost clan will gradually grow stronger. This move will be the best situation and a win-win strategy for both the selfish city lord and the ambitious ghost clan.
But the ghost soldiers that the ghost clan had deployed a few days ago were all wiped out, and the city lord was naturally not unrelated. In order to regain the trust of the ghost clan leader, he had to show sincerity, prove his determination, and prove his loyalty.
So, the poisoned wine, which killed instantly upon contact with blood, was brought out. He was certain that these noble children would always observe etiquette. They might not eat the food when they came to visit, but they would drink the toasts without hesitation. This way, the poisoned wine would penetrate deep into their stomachs, waiting for the right moment to kill without anyone noticing.
At that time, the ghost soldiers of the ghost clan will come to suck their blood and essence, not only sucking away all the remaining toxins without leaving any trace, but also proving that they died at the hands of the ghost clan, and the city lord was merely improper in supervision, with the will but the strength to do so. After all, how can an ordinary person fight against the vicious and evil ghosts?
In this way, the city lord's suspicion was completely cleared.
But the city lord himself never thought that one of these six people was a plant monster and could not be killed by poison at all; the remaining five people were immune to all poisons.
Such a rare poison was wasted in such an unclear way without any sound.
No, it wasn't completely useless. At least, it successfully allowed the other party to realize the city lord's thoughts and come up with a countermeasure.
