Lord of All Gods
Chapter 1974 Selfish
The antidote in their hands could only cure mild forms of poison.
But now the onset of the poison is becoming faster and faster. The two disciples tried all sorts of antidotes they carried with them, but they were still unable to suppress the toxicity.
Both of their faces and lips had started to turn purple.
Suddenly, they couldn’t hold on anymore and with the genuine energy supporting their legs disappearing, they fell straight into the swamp. Seeing this, the others were about to save them.
"Don’t touch them!" Mr. Song immediately pushed everyone away with a palm, warning them, "They’re poisoned! Unless there’s an antidote, anyone who touches them will end up just like them."
Upon hearing this, the others quickly backed away, helplessly watching as they sank further down.
"Mr. Jian, don’t you have the Jade Dew Pill from your sect? That can detoxify!" Gong Wanting reminded Mr. Jian.
The Jade Dew Pill was the detoxifying treasure gifted to Mr. Jian by the sect earlier and was quite valuable.
However, Mr. Jian slowly shook his head, saying, "I didn’t bring it with me. And look, the poison takes effect so quickly, even if I use the Jade Dew Pill, I’m afraid it won’t help!"
At this point, the two disciples’ face already turned purple and was sinking further into the swamp.
Gong Wanting was somehow bewildered and thought inwardly, "Martial practitioners carry their resources with them at all times. How can he store them separately? Plus, we’ve come to the secret realm, and he actually didn’t bring any antidotes or pills with him?"
As she pondered, Mr. Song suddenly said, "Let’s leave! There are more deadly creatures in the swamp, hidden among the poisonous frogs!"
He observed that not even the poisonous frogs dared to approach the bodies of the two disciples, clearly indicating that the poison inside their bodies were more deadly than the poisonous frogs.
Without time to explain further, he led them to flee from the swamp at full speed.
What he hadn’t realised was that it was Ye Liuyun and the others who had administered the poison, assuming that there were more deadly poisonous creatures in the swamp.
After they left the swamp, they began to story the others.
"Then it means Mr. Ye and his group are in great danger?" Gong Wanting became worried.
However, Mr. Jian said, "Well, what we can do now it to take care of ourselves! Everyone, let’s take a more powerful antidote just in case. They’re experienced, they should be fine!"
At this point, Gong Wanting suddenly found that Mr. Jian had swallowed a white coloured pill.
"Isn’t that the Jade Dew Pill?" A thought flashed across Gong Wanting’s mind.
She hadn’t expected that Mr. Jian would even refuse to save his fellow sect mates with his pills.
For a moment, she felt somewhat disappointed. The man’s perfect image in her heart was ruined.
Although martial practitioners were mostly selfish, this wasn’t the side the Mr. Jian usually presented.
At this time, Ye Liuyun was leading everyone to freely absorb the toxic source in the swamp. A day later, Ye Liuyun kept Manshu, Rhino, Dracaena siblings, Blue Serpentine, and Scorch back to the Spatial World for cultivation, taking only the remaining people to reunite with the disciples of Northsky Sect.
Now, those staying by Ye Liuyun’s side were only his clone, Fyeng Wanru, Lei Ming, Dragon Lady, White Tiger, Megalithic Ape, Vespera, MoMa, totaling nine people.
Also, Ye Liuyun didn’t forget to tell them in advance, "We’ll have to continue acting once we get out. Let’s just pretend we ran into the king of the poisonous frogs and everyone else got fatally poisoned."
Lei Ming, on the other side, began her performance right away, starting to cry.
"Wait a minute, you overdid it! It’s too fake!" Fyeng Wanru laughed at her.
Subsequently, they adjusted their emotions before leaving the swamp. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
The moment when the two parties met, they were somewhat surprised.
"Where are your people?" Mr. Jian asked with surprise right away.
"You also lost two? Are they poisoned too?" Ye Liuyun asked, purposefully maintaining a gloomy face.
"Your people died of poisoning as well?" Mr. Jian questioned.
Ye Liuyun gave a heavy nod, "The king of poisonous frogs sneaked in among the other frogs and attacked us. The poison was too strong, and by the time we found out, it was too late."
"A frog king?" Mr. Jian was baffled.
"Yeah! The poison of the frog king is distinctly different from those poisonous frogs!" Ye Liuyun shook his head as he spoke, followed with a sigh. Looking as if he did not want to continue the discussion, he brought everyone to rest.
Everyone had gloomy looks on their faces. Lei Ming was especially convincing as there was even a tear trickling down her cheek.
Gong Wanting couldn’t bear to watch anymore and tried to comfort her, "Girl, don’t cry..."
As soon as she attempted to console Lei Ming, the latter cried even louder, and then threw herself into Gong Wanting’s embrace.
At the same time, she sent a message to Ye Liuyun spiritually, "Helped you checked a bit. This pretty is quite busty!"
"Cough, cough!" Ye Liuyun was amused by her words and almost laugh out loud, but he tried his best to force it down.
"Enough, don’t overdo it! Or else our cover will be blown!" After Ye Liuyun cautioned Lei Ming, she finally started to gather herself.
"Everyone, recover yourself as soon as possible and make the most of your time!" Ye Liuyun instructed those around him before sending them off to cultivate.
Later, they took off all their armours and let Ye Liuyun burned them.
Mr. Song did not suspect anything and only sighed deeply.
The danger was not so serious when they traversed the swamp in the daytime.
It was due to Mr. Jian’s jealousy that more than half of Ye Liuyun’s team was lost, and they also lost two members. To continue would be even more unsafe.
After that, Ye Liuyun approached them and said, "Given the current situation, if we continue, I’m afraid y’all need to fight. Otherwise, we few might not be able to protect y’all.
Or we can retreat together. We killed the frog king in the swamp already, so there should be no more deadly danger! Let’s discuss what to do."
Ye Liuyun once again gave the initiative to Mr. Jian.
If Mr. Jian dared to play tricks again, he wouldn’t mind setting them up once more.
Actually, Ye Liuyun had wanted to attack Mr. Jian earlier. But it was hard to strike because he wore double protection clothing, and Ye Liuyun estimated that he certainly had strong antidotes.
Therefore, for safety’s sake, he chose other sect members. As for Mr. Jian, Ye Liuyun also wanted to observe his strength before considering a way to teach him a lesson.
This time, Mr. Jian behaved himself and asked for Mr. Song’s opinion.
"We’re already here, so let’s continue our journey! The remaining is all about fighting, well, with their own strength of course. They’re all very strong. They should be able to hold on! We’ll join the battle when the time comes!" suggested Mr. Song.
So, both sides agreed to move forward.
Ye Liuyun had no objection, and as soon as everyone finished their cultivation. they immediately continued their journey.
Once again, Fyeng Wanru was leading. White Tiger, Megalithic Ape, and MoMa formed a team to cover for Fyeng Wanru, while the clone was watched out for everyone.
Ye Liuyun, on the other side, was at the end of the team with Lei Ming, Dragon Lady, and Vespera.
"Mr. Ye, this kinda seems wrong to me! All the strong ones in your group go to the end of the line to hide?" Mr. Jian immediately started complaining.
