Transcending the Nine Heavens

Everyone was stunned.

Rui Butong finally couldn’t bear the series of “Oh my god”; he suddenly brought in a large bundle of firewood, threw it on the ground, then went back inside to retrieve two buckets of oil. He used a long wooden stick to poke Zhuge Changchang's body into the fire, placing it on top, and then lit it.

Flames surged up, accompanied by a pungent and strange smell.

Zhuge Changchang's body, surprisingly, continued to twitch and convulse in the fire. Even as both legs burned away and the upper body turned into charred bones, it still twisted…

Chu Le'er trembled as she hid in Chu Yang's arms, while Mo Qingwu huddled on the other side; the two little girls were like quails with their feathers stripped under heavy snow, shivering uncontrollably.

The crowd fell into silence.

They truly didn’t know what to say… The instigator was completely unaware and had already used it. Now, everyone seemed even more scared than the instigator himself…

Over there, the fire crackled and popped, while Wuzhuo City incessantly questioned: “Who used the poison? How did it catch fire? Bastard! Who told you to burn it? Who used the poison? Who? Who?”

…

Everyone’s speechless gaze turned towards Chu Le'er.

Wuzhuo City followed their gaze and saw a little girl with a pale face and tears glistening in her eyes. He couldn’t help but shudder and said in disbelief, “Could it be… her… ah?”

“Ahem, ahem…” Chu Yang coughed a few times and explained, “It was like this; by chance, I obtained a book called ‘The Poison Codex of the World’; I noticed my little sister seemed very interested in using poison, so I threw it to her, letting her practice on her own… Later, Master Zi came. He also encouraged my sister’s training… cough, cough… that seems to be the case.”

Wuzhuo City gasped, staring intensely at Chu Le'er, his throat making a sound, “...The Poison Codex of the World?… Practicing on her own? Haha…”

Unable to control himself, this poison doctor rolled his eyes, then rolled them again. He wanted to say something but suddenly bit his own tongue, and then tried to speak again. His face turned red, and in the next moment… he fainted.

It was no wonder Master Wu didn’t faint.

He had devoted his entire life to studying, pouring all his energy into the Poison Codex of the World. Though his poison techniques were incredibly varied and he was highly skilled, the most critical types of poison could not be used.

What he imagined was one thing, but whether it could be used was key.

Now, this little girl had self-studied from a book… and had actually managed to produce results?

In such a situation, it was likely that even Master Wu would faint if he weren’t injured, let alone after being gravely wounded.

Meng Chaoran hurriedly carried him back, with Chu Yang following. Upon examination, he couldn’t help but click his tongue.

The poison doctor had completely torn open the bones that had just begun to heal.

Chu Yang sighed. Although he understood Master Wu's feelings, he still found it somewhat amusing: Was it really that intense?

After treating Master Wu's injuries, Chu Yang was just about to leave when he saw Master Wu open his eyes. At that moment, the grief and frustration that had previously filled his eyes suddenly vanished.

Then he fixed his gaze on Chu Yang and said quietly, “Wait a moment.”

Then he closed his eyes.

Chu Yang sat down beside him.

Then, he witnessed an astonishing scene!

A white cloud emerged from Master Wu's body, swirling around him. With each rotation, the cloud shrank by a fist. By the time it reached his thigh, the cloud disappeared without a trace.

Immediately, a refreshing breeze began to blow.

Just like the morning breeze of spring.

Fresh and natural, it was refreshing to the soul.

The morning wind howled but didn’t blow anything away; it simply brushed against Master Wu himself.

And on Master Wu's body, it was as if a piece of decayed wood suddenly began to visibly recover at a rapid pace; the once dead muscles and skin returned to life.
