The Sword Spirit thought for a moment and said, “Perhaps… it might be.”
Chu Yang fell into contemplation, “If it’s a threat using the antidote… that’s a bit too simple. It should just be part of the plan…”
At this point, Chu Yang suddenly became excited and said, “Tell me about the symptoms after a stroke. Even if I use spirit spring water to delay it, it will eventually break out. He poisons me, and I get poisoned. Is that not a normal thing?”
The Sword Spirit smiled bitterly, “You want to use even this? You really are cunning!”
Chu Yang replied, “I’m poisoned; how could that be considered cunning?”
He then asked, “Am I the only one poisoned? Is Mo Qingwu alright?”
The Sword Spirit smiled bitterly, “Wuzhuo City is also a place with significant status. Do you think she would poison a little girl without reason?”
Chu Yang huffed, “Not necessarily! Right now, I don’t trust any of these people.”
After receiving the Sword Spirit's confirmation that Mo Qingwu was not poisoned, Chu Yang finally felt relieved.
The Sword Spirit pondered and said, “However, compared to your poisoning, there is something even more important. Therefore, Wuzhuo City must not be allowed to leave this time! If there’s a fight, we really have no choice!”
Chu Yang frowned and instantly thought of something, taking a sharp breath, “Sword Qi?”
“Yes,” the Sword Spirit smiled bitterly, “I sensed the Sword Qi from Wuzhuo City.”
Chu Yang’s face twitched, feeling that it was becoming troublesome, “How can we retrieve it?”
“There are three ways,” the Sword Spirit said. “The first way is to capture Wuzhuo City and extract the Sword Qi from him; he should only be temporarily using it, but he cannot refine it. The Nine Calamity Sword Qi cannot be refined by others.”
“Capture Wuzhuo City?” Chu Yang smiled bitterly, “Let’s hear the second method instead.”
“The second method is to kill Wuzhuo City!” The Sword Spirit chuckled, “The Sword Qi will automatically disperse, and then we can collect it.”
Chu Yang was speechless, “You might as well not say that. With Wuzhuo City's cultivation level, killing him is already as difficult as climbing to the sky. Moreover… Wuzhuo City is the descendant of Morning Breeze Supreme! Furthermore, it's clear that Morning Breeze Supreme is extremely fond of him. He even exchanged him from the Nine Calamity Heavenly Restoration using a covert method. This is obvious!”
“If Wuzhuo City dies, how can Morning Breeze Supreme let it go? And Morning Breeze Supreme and Flowing Cloud Supreme are husband and wife… Do you expect me to confront Morning Breeze and Flowing Cloud with my current strength? Let’s consider the third method!”
Chu Yang smiled bitterly.
“The third method… is to reveal the identity of the Nine Calamity Sword Master and use the Nine Calamity Sword to absorb the Sword Qi,” the Sword Spirit said, then smiled bitterly, “And the distance must be within a hundred zhang.”
Chu Yang had a dark expression, “This third method makes my inner feelings cramp… Is there no fourth method?”
“There are none! There are only three methods!” The Sword Spirit said extremely firmly.
“Damn!” Chu Yang looked to the heavens, “Isn’t this just pushing me into a corner? With my meager strength, I might have enough to be king in the lower realms. But… to let me kill Wuzhuo City? Don’t you think that’s pushing it too far?”
The Sword Spirit, with a submissive expression, said, “But you have experts by your side…”
Chu Yang was speechless, giving him a fierce glare before letting out a heavy sigh. He directly drew back and exited the Nine Calamity Space.
He no longer wanted to waste another word with this Sword Spirit!
As he arrived at the venue.
The finals of the Myriad Medicine Convention never allowed any observers; it was a rule! However, despite this rule, today it was still crowded with people.
The snow fell heavily from the sky, and the ground was filled with the sound of people…
