CHAPTER 95: My Heart is at Ease
Han Xiaoran smiled faintly and said, “Back then, within the span of a year, I first defeated the saint level fifth rank villain, Cheng Mofeng, then captured the ninth rank pinnacle mad blade poison saint, Nankong Yun. I was severely injured internally, my head shaken, and I had even been struck by Nankong Yun's unique poison arts, the Invisibly Poisonous, which penetrated deep into my organs... It was Tong Wuxin who treated my wounds, and since then, I developed a chronic condition; that Invisibly Poison cannot be completely eliminated, requiring a dose of medicine once a year, up until now…”
He chuckled lightly, “That feeling is certainly not pleasant.”
Chu Yang was taken aback and said, “Invisibly Poison? Are you saying that you were struck by Invisibly Poison?”
Han Xiaoran suddenly tensed up, straightening his body, his eyes gleaming with cold light, staring at Chu Yang without speaking for a long time, solemnly asking, “What do you mean?”
Chu Yang pondered for a moment and asked, “Was it the Grand Elder of Medicine Valley who also said this was Invisibly Poison?”
Han Xiaoran's face turned icy cold, taking a deep breath and said, “Are you saying… this isn’t Invisibly Poison?”
Chu Yang remained silent for a moment and said, “Poison is something that makes people change color with fear! Even for experts, it is hard to guard against. However... the horror of poison lies in the act of poisoning, not in being poisoned!”
Han Xiaoran sat stiffly, his expression hard, not saying a word.
“The chief enforcer went to capture Nankong Yun, so he must have known about Nankong Yun's Invisibly Poison! Therefore, if the chief enforcer went without any preparations, I wouldn't believe a word he said.”
Chu Yang spoke softly.
Han Xiaoran's gaze sharpened, and he said gravely, “Indeed, to deal with the mad blade poison saint, if one has no preparations and lacks complete confidence in avoiding his poison arts, going there would be nothing but seeking death. When I went back then, not only did I carry the antidote pills bestowed by Master Law Sovereign, but I also had Medicine Valley’s hundred-dispelling pills. Moreover, I was wearing the Heavenly Silkworm Purple Robe.”
Chu Yang replied, “What the chief enforcer forgot is the most important aspect: you still possess a pinnacle cultivation level!”
Han Xiaoran remained silent.
He had already mentioned that he captured the ninth rank pinnacle Nankong Yun, so wouldn't he at least be at the saint level ninth rank cultivation?
“As far as I know, with saint level cultivation, even without tight protection, as long as one mobilizes their power, neither Invisibly Poison nor tangible poison has any effect!”
Chu Yang asserted.
Han Xiaoran was silent for a long time before he finally said, “That is correct.”
“But you were poisoned!” Chu Yang emphasized coldly, this statement, though very ordinary, laid down a conclusion.
“Yes, I was poisoned!” Han Xiaoran stood up, slowly pacing, his face like ice, like iron, as if wearing an ice iron mask, slowly continuing, “When I returned, I felt discomfort within my body, and I did not consider it to be poisoning! Because I had confidence that even if Nankong Yun used poison during our battle, he would definitely not succeed.”
“However, after Tong Wuxin diagnosed me, she confirmed it was Invisibly Poison. Moreover, all the symptoms were exactly the same as those of Nankong Yun’s Invisibly Poison. At that time, I had captured Nankong Yun alive, and under torture, Nankong Yun verified it without a doubt! It truly is Invisibly Poison.”
Han Xiaoran's lips revealed a downward curve, saying, “But Invisibly Poison has no antidote.”
“So you can only rely on Tong Wuxin for treatment,” Chu Yang concluded.
“Indeed.”
“That means from that moment on, the Invisibly Poison you suffered from established a chronic condition within your body, and it would flare up once a year,” Chu Yang continued.
