Su Yuan closed his eyes, focusing his mind into the Qingming Realm.
Without Su Yuan needing to remind them, upon noticing Ruan Ruan entering a breakthrough state, Mo Fei and Ashley became even more cautious in their actions.
"It seems it’s indeed fine now."
After observing for a while, Su Yuan discovered that Ruan Ruan was having no issues after swallowing the Star Core, and he was relieved.
It would only take Ruan Ruan two to three days to fully devour the Glazed Master’s Star Core, and whether or not she succeeds in breaking through, the outcome would soon be clear.
After sending a mental message through Spirit connection to Mo Fei to look after Ruan Ruan, Su Yuan withdrew his consciousness and opened his eyes.
Looking up, Jing Chenghui and Teng Jinghua were already approaching with their group.
Su Yuan’s eyes flickered. Initially, he didn’t plan to reveal his strength at this moment, but given the circumstances, it was an opportune time to speed things up.
Currently, using Xu Hengjiang’s poisoning as an opportunity, Qingming has drawn closer in relations with the Storm Alliance.
Once Antonios truly cures Xu Hengjiang, even if Xu Hengjiang doesn’t acknowledge the favor, at least on the surface, he would do nothing against us.
The Jianghu people are fickle; some are greedy and ungrateful, while others remember kindness and repay favors.
The Storm Alliance being such a large faction, if Xu Hengjiang were to be ungrateful, many under him would notice.
While contemplating, Jing Chenghui and the others had arrived in front.
"Master Su!" Jing Chenghui led with a bow.
Su Yuan nodded slightly, "Branch Leader Jing, Branch Leader Teng, there’s no need for such formalities."
"Eh... alright."
Looking at the silver-haired young man before him, Jing Chenghui gulped secretly.
Though he agreed, this person had just slain a Chongyang Realm Demon Plant!
Jing Chenghui quickly reviewed their interactions over the past month, feeling secretly relieved that he hadn’t done anything to offend this person.
Teng Jinghua was also intently watching Su Yuan. Though Demon Plants are less versatile and skillful compared to Star Beasts of the same level, they are still Chongyang Level Demon Plants,
Yet this person’s swordsmanship was incredibly fierce, cutting through everything effortlessly with a single strike on such a strong Demon Plant!
Su Yuan smiled slightly, then looked towards the two Radiant Moon Levels with grayish-black faces being supported from behind Jing Chenghui.
"Poisoned?"
Jing Chenghui’s expression tensed, nodding quickly, "And it’s quite serious. We intended to ask if Master Su has any Detoxification Pills available for emergency use, as returning would take at least two days..."
With a flash in his hand, Su Yuan immediately took out an Alchemy Box and tossed it over.
Upon catching it, Jing Chenghui saw it contained five Detoxification Pills.
"Thank you, Master Su!"
Jing Chenghui rejoiced, immediately administering the Detoxification Pills to the two behind him.
Now that the Jing Yilian has been found and the root issue of the Poison Mist resolved, it’s time to head back.
Coincidentally, encountering Plant Star Beasts just turning into Demon Beasts surprised Su Yuan.
Additionally, on an island full of Poison Plants, having a non-toxic type Demon Plant like the Glazed Tree was quite strange.
Unable to comprehend the key among this without further clues, Su Yuan decided to let it rest temporarily.
Before leaving, Su Yuan surveyed this large island.
The island is sizable and not far from the Western Desert coast.
At present, with the island’s numerous Poison Plants, including the Ancient Thorn Tree and Big Leaf Black Tree, having been cleared out, the Poison Mist surrounding the island has considerably thinned.
Moreover, the Star Power on the island is fairly abundant.
"It’s quite a nice place, and would be even more convenient if a Transmission Array could be set up..."
Su Yuan contemplated silently, temporarily setting aside the thought.
"Branch Leader Jing, is there anything else you need?"
Jing Chenghui laughed, "The Jing Yilian has been procured, the Demon Plant resolved thanks to Master Su; now it’s just important to quickly return to attend to the Alliance Leader."
Upon hearing this, something seemed to cross Su Yuan’s mind, his expression subtly changing...
...
Storm Alliance Main Base.
In Xu Hengjiang’s room, Antonios was carefully examining Xu Hengjiang’s condition.
"Mr. An, how... is it?" Xu Hengjiang, covered in sweat, asked weakly.
Antonios pondered, "The poisoning is too severe, and the toxins are recurring faster than anticipated."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shan immediately frowned, "Is it really that serious? Isn’t the Alliance Leader at the Burning Sun Level? How could he be brought down by such toxins?"
"It absolutely is." Antonios turned to Yuan Shan, speaking with solemnity, "Branch Master Yuan, do not underestimate ’poison’. There are countless methods of killing, and poison is one of the most effective for the weak to conquer the strong. This is something people of Jianghu should be very aware of, isn’t that right?"
Indeed, poison is something with strong lethality and corrosive power.
As long as one can successfully administer poison, even a Bronze Level can have a chance to kill a Gold Level.
