Wuzhuo City chuckled softly, turning his head to look at the wound on his shoulder, from which black gas was seeping out and black blood was dripping down. It seemed that the wound did not belong to him. He said, “If I had known earlier that the Law Sovereign had such skills, things might have been a bit better; right now, I am fully on guard against his heavenly law and earthly manifestation, yet I didn't expect he actually had this trick up his sleeve!”
Chu Yang nodded grimly and said, “This poison... it’s very strange. It seems to be... Demonic Energy? But it doesn’t quite look like it.”
Wuzhuo City replied lightly, “What’s there that doesn’t quite look like it? It’s just that it has some Soul Poison added to it. This is the poison of the heavenly demons!”
He raised his head to look at Chu Yang, his voice carrying a special meaning as he articulated each word, “This is... the poison of the otherworldly demons!”
Chu Yang’s expression shifted slightly, turning somewhat grim, and he did not speak.
“Ever since the last time when the Law Sovereign suddenly declared that Chu Yang was an otherworldly demon, I have been a bit curious,” Wuzhuo City commented indifferently. “Others might not know, but I do; the otherworldly demons are not fictional names, they are real!”
Chu Yang took a deep breath and tightened his energy manipulation. The black gas from Wuzhuo City’s wound grew thicker, while his other hand was also exerting energy, forcing all the black blood and toxic gas into the holes corroded into the ground. He said, “Yes, the otherworldly demons do exist.”
Wuzhuo City’s gaze flickered, “Hmm, so you know as well.”
His words seemed to carry deeper implications.
Chu Yang pondered for a moment, “Yes, I know.”
“The existence of the otherworldly demons is something my ancestors told me... I can know. You are the nine calamity sword master, so it’s no surprise that you know some secrets,” Wuzhuo City continued lightly. “But if the Law Sovereign knows, that’s intriguing.”
Chu Yang slowly nodded, “Indeed.”
“At that time, I was suspicious; could it be that there is some inherited information within the law enforcers? But I never thought that the Law Sovereign himself would have such pure heavenly demon energy kung fu.”
Wuzhuo City spoke slowly. The black gas on his face gradually dissipated, revealing his originally fair complexion. The bones in his body were cracking, as the ninefold pill worked to heal his injuries.
This process was quite painful, but Wuzhuo City’s expression remained unchanged, as if these happenings were occurring to someone else.
“Are you suggesting that... the Law Sovereign is colluding with the otherworldly demons?” Chu Yang asked cautiously.
“Colluding?” Wuzhuo City scoffed, “With his stature, he isn't worthy!”
“Oh?” Chu Yang frowned.
“It is said that in ancient times, there was once a cataclysmic battle... during which, a certain ultimate powerhouse fell, and along with him, several kings of the otherworldly demons fell as well. Their legacies have been scattered and incomplete since that time.”
Wuzhuo City stated blandly, “From my speculation, the Law Sovereign probably only obtained a fragment of it, nothing more. If he had even a little more, I would have long since been dead!”
Chu Yang nodded, “I see.”
All the clues came together, and Chu Yang immediately understood.
It must have been the devastating results brought about by the Purple Sky Emperor’s resistance against foreign invaders back then.
As they spoke, the black gas from Wuzhuo City’s shoulder had completely flowed out, and the blood turned a bright red.
Wuzhuo City said softly, “Release my cultivation level.”
Chu Yang frowned and replied, “You need to wait a bit longer; there is still residual poison inside you.”
He himself was quite astonished, as this was the first time he had seen a poison that the ninefold pill could not completely dispel.
“No need,” Wuzhuo City said lightly. “I know what you’re thinking; the ninefold pill can indeed neutralize this poison. However, the residual poison has already seeped deeply into my vitality. If I neutralize the poison, my vitality will also be harmed. Therefore, this part cannot rely on medicinal power; I have to rely on my own true essence to force it out!”
