When Zhao Min glanced at Chu Qinghe beside her, her eyes narrowed slightly.
"This guy's asking for a beating!"
Their eyes lit up when they saw the snow-white pill in front of them, but then they hesitated and looked at Pang Ban in front of them.
On the other hand, Pang Ban's gaze was fixed on the snow-white pill in front of him, and thoughts unconsciously flickered in his eyes.
A few breaths later, Pang Ban looked up at Chu Qinghe and said, "You came all the way to Wudang to find me, and then secretly poisoned me, just for this?"
In Pang Ban's view, Chu Qinghe's visit to Wudang today was clearly aimed at him.
Now they go to all this trouble to poison me, yet they casually ask me these few questions and tell me not to cause trouble for Dongfang Bubai.
It felt a bit like making a mountain out of a molehill.
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe chuckled and said, "If the Demon Master thinks this antidote is too easy to obtain, I wouldn't mind increasing the difficulty a bit."
Pang Ban: "..."
Faced with Chu Qinghe's suggestion, Pang Ban decisively fell silent.
After taking a deep breath, he picked up the pill in front of him.
After glancing at Chu Qinghe, he slowly put the pill in his mouth and swallowed it.
With Pang Ban taking the lead, Kumārajīva, the Golden Wheel Monk, and the two elders of Xuanming all grabbed the pills in front of them and swallowed them as well.
However, as soon as the pill entered their stomachs, both Pang Ban and Kumārajīva felt the obvious pain in their bodies quickly disappear.
However, as the pain subsided, the expressions on Pang Ban and the others' faces did not improve; instead, they became even more severe.
At this moment, Chu Qinghe's voice slowly rang out.
"The poison you have been given is special. It will take half an hour to cure it. Once the Demon Master and the others have safely traveled from the top of Wudang Mountain to the foot of the mountain, the poison in their bodies will be completely cured, and their power will naturally be restored to normal."
Upon hearing the voice and understanding why the true essence within his body could not be detected, Pang Ban's expression softened slightly.
"Ha! Young Master Zhao is indeed very cautious in his actions!"
Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "As the ancients said, 'Better safe than sorry.' I may not have many merits, but I like to listen to advice, so I have always been careful."
Zhang Sanfeng and the others inside the Zhenwu Hall are still poisoned.
If Pang Ban's poison is cured now, and Pang Ban suddenly attacks, wouldn't Chu Qinghe become an accomplice for no reason?
It's better to give each other some space and time.
Seeing Chu Qinghe remain calm and composed throughout, Pang Ban unconsciously let out a "humph".
He then inquired, "Since you have answered two of Young Master Zhao's questions, I also have a question. I wonder if Young Master Zhao would be willing to answer it for me?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe said, "Please speak, Demon Master."
Pang Ban asked, "How did you know I would come to Wudang Sect today?"
Chu Qinghe chuckled and said, "It was also someone wearing an iron mask who informed me."
Pang Ban asked, "Hmm?"
Then, under the watchful eyes of Pang Ban and the others, Chu Qinghe raised his hand and unleashed his true energy, then spread his five fingers in front of him.
As streams of true energy burst forth, two images and texts appeared on the bluestone floor of Wudang.
The patterns on the image are not only unique but also complex, resembling Taoist runes, yet also some special oracle bone script.
On the left-hand side of the image, the words "Heavenly Killing Star" are clearly visible.
Upon seeing these patterns, both Shui Mu Yin Ji and Qu Fei Yan immediately recognized them as the same as the token found on the body of the Grandmaster-level expert Dongfang Bubai during the Hengshan Sect's surprise attack.
After drawing the two pictures, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "I don't know his specific identity, but I did see such a token on the person who delivered the message to me. If you are interested, you can look it up yourself."
Looking at the two pictures and texts on the ground, and listening to what Chu Qinghe was saying, the women, including Shuimu Yinji, understood Chu Qinghe's purpose.
Although Qu Feiyan's expression remained unchanged, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Young Master really holds grudges! He'll dig a pit for you whenever he gets the chance."
Over here, upon hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Pang Ban lowered his gaze and looked at the two pictures and texts on the ground by the light coming from the lantern at the door.
A moment later, as Pang Ban shifted his gaze from the picture and text, he first glanced at Chu Qinghe, then looked at the Zhenwu Hall in the distance before turning around and walking down the mountain without saying a word.
On the other hand, Zhao Min took out a metal whistle from her pocket and put it to her lips, blowing it.
As a loud and rhythmic whistle echoed, the Yuan Dynasty warriors who had surrounded the Zhenwu Hall began to retreat like a tide, all gathering behind Zhao Min.
At this point, Zhao Min glanced at Chu Qinghe as well, then quickly walked to Pang Ban's side and headed down the mountain.
However, just as Pang Ban and the others reached the steps at the top of the mountain, Chu Qinghe gently fanned himself with his folding fan, and a slightly lazy voice slowly rang out.
"As the saying goes, things don't happen more than three times. These two incidents are over, but if there's a third, I might not be as easy to talk to as I am today. I hope the Demon Master will be more considerate."
Upon hearing the sound, Pang Ban, standing beside the mountaintop, paused slightly before continuing his descent downhill.
However, his face unconsciously showed a gloomy and solemn expression.
