Rui Butong gasped, "So you're saying they can only wait to die?"
"Not necessarily," Mo Tianji smiled. "If it were me, or Diwu Qingrou, or even a few outstanding individuals from the Zhuge family inside, we would still have ways to resolve this."
"And there are several methods to avoid this... but none of them could be conceived by those currently inside. So, for those inside, this strategy is unsolvable! They can only resist it with their cultivation level—after realizing they are poisoned!"
He smiled faintly, saying, "Of course... the ninth rank supreme Xiao Chenlei inside... probably won't die, and whether it works on him is still uncertain. So we must not be careless..."
At this moment, Chu Yang had already sent out all the supplies and returned quietly, smiling, "Let's wait."
Mo Tianji chuckled, "We have plenty of patience."
The crowd exchanged smiles.
Chu Yang wore a strange expression and said lightly, "It's been over a month since we left the Lan Family to come here... I wonder how anxious Diwu Qingrou must be during this time."
Mo Tianji's expression also turned curious as he suppressed a laugh and said, "Surely... Diwu Qingrou must be having a tough time. Even if it were me, I'd find it very hard... extremely hard!"
"Probably not just hard, but also very frustrating, confused, anxious, and in a dilemma..." Chu Yang laughed heartily. Mo Tianji finally couldn't help but burst into a smile.
On one side, Gu Duxing, the supreme of swords, did not share the devious thoughts of these two schemers and stared blankly, completely unaware of what these two cunning fellows were laughing about.
On the other side, Rocky Luo was busy ranting, clearly in high spirits.
The retaliations from inside remained as fierce as ever.
At this moment, the contest among the supremes had turned into a street brawl.
Inside the cave.
Ji Mo anxiously moved his mouth, wishing he could join in; it was such a pity! Such an exciting verbal battle, and he wasn't able to participate, allowing Rocky Luo to take all the glory. It was simply... too frustrating.
If only I could go out, I could add a few more 'aunties' to the Xiao family...
Xiao Chenlei sat cross-legged in front of the Dragon and Phoenix Bone, frowning in contemplation.
In front of him stood the massive corpse of the Golden Dragon and the enormous body of the Colorful Phoenix, intertwined. The dirt and stones around had been cleared away.
However, the ground beneath him remained immovable.
It seemed that this Dragon and Phoenix were connected to the very earth itself; to move them, one would have to shift the entire Nine Heavens world.
A peculiar vital energy rendered Xiao Chenlei, a ninth rank supreme, unable to budge the Dragon and Phoenix Corpse even a little! Moreover, even with all his strength, he couldn't destroy it!
This made Xiao Chenlei extremely frustrated.
Listening to the endless curses from outside, he remained oblivious.
For now, he could only endure it with the other side.
He would see who would lose their composure first. Whether he would charge out or they would charge in.
But Xiao Chenlei was quite confident: what is this? He often entered seclusion for decades... these little fellows think they can use a time strategy?
How naive.
Time passed minute by minute.
The other side still had not rushed in. The people inside were not anxious.
How safe it was here...
As afternoon approached, suddenly, a ninth rank saint level expert who was cursing violently swayed and murmured, "Strange, why do I feel a bit dizzy?"
Someone beside him said, "You must have exerted yourself too much, shouting too loudly, leading to oxygen deprivation."
The saint level expert frowned, rubbing his forehead, and said, "Something feels off... my legs are weak... my vision is blurry, bad... my tongue..."
Before he could finish, he fell to the ground with a thud!
His body twitched, his right leg feebly kicking at the ground, then his eyes widened, and he died.
The first rank supreme beside him stared wide-eyed: "What! What happened? How did he..."
