The black, white, and red immortal, true to his reputation as a poison expert, saw the two individuals awaken shortly after being dosed with the Godly Intoxication. The surrounding Tianyi Sect members remained unconscious, completely defenseless.
"You dare use poison? Few in this world can poison my brother and me. We didn't want to resort to poison, but you've offended me. I'll make your lives a living hell!" Bai Chixian declared menacingly, his voice chilling as he spoke to Feng Chu, Chaoyang Zi, and the other two. With a sweep of his sleeve, a wave of black mist spread out, a indiscriminate poisoning. He then turned to flee with Hei Chixian. They were at their limit; undoing the Godly Intoxication had consumed their spiritual power. If they didn't leave, their lives would be in peril!
"Not good, Bai Chixian's poison miasma is extremely potent. A single inhalation causes full paralysis. Ordinary immortals will turn to blood within a quarter of an hour without an antidote. Even Golden Immortals would be incapacitated," Chenxi Xianzun's face changed drastically.
"Where do you think you're going? Phantom Traces, Thousand Mile Pursuit, go!"
Chaoxiang Zi quickly formed hand seals, and the Qingyin Sword transformed into a streak of green light, flying towards their escape route. The sword's strike was destined to sever souls!
"Qingyin Sword!" Those in the shadows who recognized the sword gasped. This was the divine sword of Qingyin Xianzun, one of the Seven Star Guards under Juyin Shenzun. She had truly returned! He abruptly looked at the woman standing beside the Nine-Tailed White Fox. Could this woman be...? He swiftly concealed himself and departed.
Half a breath later, the Qingyin Sword returned to Chaoxiang Zi's hand, its tip dripping blood.
Simultaneously as the Qingyin Sword was unleashed, Feng Chu also fanned her Jade Green Fan. A whirlwind rose from the ground, engulfing the poison miasma. With a blast of phoenix fire, the dreaded miasma was utterly incinerated!
Not forgetting to tease Chaoxiang Zi, she remarked, "Qingyang, your sword's appearance has exposed your identity." They had deliberately concealed their strength to avoid revealing themselves so quickly.
"You're blaming me when you revealed your phoenix form! As for those Black, White, and Red Immortals, since we've already made enemies, killing them is simpler," Chaoxiang Zi retorted irritably.
Hua Xun, hidden in the air, glanced sideways at Chenxi Xianzun, "Worrying needlessly!"
Indeed, when Xiao Juyin's Seven Star Guards were traversing the three realms and eight directions, this brat was likely not even out of his mother's womb. He was a newly ascended Xianzun, and his knowledge of them came only from their renowned reputation, never from witnessing their combat firsthand.
"Too powerful!" Chenxi Xianzun touched his nose, re-evaluating the current strength of Juyin Xianjun. They were far from what they appeared on the surface.
Juyin and Long Huohu flew back to where the trio stood.
"Your Excellency, how shall we handle the people on the ground?" Chaoyang Zi asked.
The Tianyi Sect members had only been affected by the Godly Intoxication and were not in mortal danger. However, the poison miasma later released by the Black and Red Immortals had now sealed their fate.
"What concern is it of ours? Come, Huohu, congratulations on successfully completing your tribulation!" Feng Chu said casually, smiling at Xiaobai.
"Yes, Sister, where do we go next?" Long Huohu greeted Feng Chu with a grin and eagerly asked Juyin, she finally possessed strength, and from now on, she would never let Sister act herself! She paid no attention to the lives of these people. Anyone who dared to plot against her during her tribulation would have to see if their lives were hard enough!
Juyin knew someone was watching them from the shadows, but there was one persistent gaze, as if trying to pierce through her, so familiar it was impossible to dislike. The other observers gradually vanished, but this one gaze remained fixed on her. She couldn't help but feel annoyed. When had this person become so secretive?
"Come out! How long do you intend to hide?" Juyin flicked her finger, sending an invisible stream of energy towards Hua Xun and Chenxi Xianzun's concealed location.
Ling Yu had already informed her how many people were lurking around, so she had been waiting to see how many would foolishly reveal themselves. It was a pity only a few had appeared, but it was enough to make an example of them.
"Oh my, this is murder of a close... close friend!" Hua Xun exclaimed loudly as he appeared, intending to say 'murder of a close husband,' but quickly corrected himself upon seeing Juyin's expression!
Feng Chu saw two men appear from the air. One of them immediately darted in front of Juyin, stepping forward to shield her.
"Who are you? Who knows you!" Feng Chu felt a hint of threat. This person had sharp brows and starry eyes, a face carved like a knife, a handsome build, and an imposing presence! His aura was powerful! He was a completely different type from herself.
Juyin was also a bit bewildered. Who was this person? His features were very familiar, but aside from the Seven Star Guards, she had never met such a handsome man.
"I am Chenxi, greetings, Immortal Maiden!" Chenxi Xianzun, fearing a misunderstanding, quickly announced his identity.
"Oh, a Xianzun, what? Come to fight?" Feng Chu was surprised to have hooked such a big fish.
"No, no, I am not here to fight. This Tianque Immortal Mansion is under my jurisdiction. For any grievances you have suffered here, it is due to my insufficient management. As an apology, I sincerely invite you all to my mansion for a chat, what do you say?" Chenxi Xianzun spoke while his gaze fixed on Long Huohu, suppressing his urge to bounce around.
"Hey, why are you looking at me? Be careful, I'll dig your eyes out!" Long Huohu glared at Chenxi Xianzun, extremely displeased.
"Sister, do you know these two? They look shifty, definitely not good people," Long Huohu couldn't help but complain.
Juyin patted Xiaobai's shoulder, finding it amusing. Huohu was probably unaware of her own beauty; she was so radiant that even Juyin couldn't help but steal a few glances.
"Little Juyin, what, after a few years, you don't recognize an old friend?" Hua Xun stroked his chin, feeling slightly uncomfortable.
"You are... Hua Xun!" Juyin exclaimed in surprise upon hearing that familiar roguish voice. Where had his beard gone?
"Where's your beard?"
"Heh heh, isn't it because I'm meeting an old friend? And changing my image at the same time!" Hua Xun felt a pang of annoyance. Why wasn't she complimenting me? Don't I look good? Don't I look handsome?
"Old friend? Were you waiting for this Lord here? You were just watching the fun?" Juyin, for some reason, felt a sudden unease upon realizing it was Hua Xun. Why had this person suddenly become so handsome?
At this moment, within her consciousness, Ye Ju's voice suddenly spoke, "Is this that big-bearded Hua Xun? I know him, I dreamt of him before!"
Hua Xun's expression suddenly turned serious. He grabbed Juyin's hand and began to feel her pulse. Juyin did not resist; she knew his capabilities and was also unsure how to resolve the issue of having two consciousnesses within her. This was a hidden danger; when Ye Ju's consciousness was dominant, her combat power could only be one-third of its full potential.
"Two consciousnesses within your body?" Hua Xun asked.
"Yes!" Juyin nodded, suddenly appearing visibly relaxed. Meeting Hua Xun inexplicably brought her immense peace.
"Let's go to Chenxi's immortal mansion to talk!" Hua Xun, having concealed his own ulterior motives, was now focused on understanding the situation with the two consciousnesses within Xiao Juyin.
