"Don’t listen to his nonsense. That Thunder Pearl is just a small grenade. There’s no poison in it. If you added poison, it wouldn’t even explode."
Chen Qingdi exposed his scheme right away.
"So after all this, you son of a bitch, you were just trying to scare us."
"Do you have the guts to fight for real?"
"Stop using these dirty tricks."
Master Hei glared coldly at Qiu Ming.
Qiu Ming, however, just smiled coldly and actually nodded.
"Alright then, Master Hei. Let’s have ourselves a good fight."
"I won’t accuse you of bullying me, even though your level is higher than mine."
As he spoke, Qiu Ming gestured repeatedly at Master Hei, beckoning him over.
"Damn you, have you no shame? You know full well Master Hei is injured, and you still want to fight him."
"I’ll fight you."
Murong Fei stepped forward, looking coldly at Qiu Ming.
Qiu Ming was a master of poisons, and Murong Fei was a poison master as well, in addition to being an expert at disarming traps.
Mu Qingfeng, on the other hand, was a master of the sword and was also well-versed in the way of the saber.
"Emperor’s Physician, I’ll go deal with this guy."
Murong Fei glanced to the side at Chen Qingdi.
"Alright."
Chen Qingdi nodded.
Seeing Murong Fei step forward, Qiu Ming remained standing atop the tree, showing no intention of coming down.
"What are you doing up there? Get down here."
"Let’s have a proper fight."
Murong Fei shouted.
But Qiu Ming simply wouldn’t come down.
"Then you come up. Why should I be the one to come down?"
Qiu Ming said.
"Fine. If you won’t come down, I’ll come up."
With that, Murong Fei’s figure flashed as he leaped directly toward the treetop.
But just as Murong Fei was about to land, Qiu Ming’s figure flickered and he leaped to another large tree, as if he were terrified of Murong Fei.
"I’m here. Why’d you run off again?"
Murong Fei looked at Qiu Ming mockingly.
"What, am I not allowed to run?"
"If you’ve got the guts, then come and get me."
Qiu Ming said with a cold expression.
’Everyone here was stronger than him.’ Seeing Murong Fei rushing toward him, Qiu Ming’s first thought was, naturally, to flee.
’Staying here would be a death sentence.’
Murong Fei continued to chase Qiu Ming.
Qiu Ming leaped back and forth between the trees.
Murong Fei took out an object and threw it directly at Qiu Ming.
After being struck by the object, Qiu Ming fell straight out of the air.
At the same time, pustules rapidly appeared on his face, and his whole body began to lose its strength.
This sudden turn of events terrified him.
"Wh-what’s happening?"
"What did you do to me?"
Qiu Ming looked at Murong Fei, his face full of alarm.
"Don’t think you’re the only one who knows how to use poison. I just used a little on you, too,"
Murong Fei said.
Qiu Ming was now clearly in extreme pain, as if countless ants were crawling through his internal organs.
At this moment, Chen Qingdi slowly walked up to Qiu Ming.
"You will now answer whatever I ask."
"Otherwise, I guarantee you won’t live for three seconds."
Although Chen Qingdi’s tone was calm, his presence was incredibly powerful.
"Okay."
Qiu Ming nodded hurriedly.
He could tell from the look in Chen Qingdi’s eyes that he was absolutely not joking.
"Why are you here?"
This was Chen Qingdi’s first question.
"This is the territory of an Evil God Hall branch. For dozens of miles around the perimeter, we have Evil Cultivators stationed every ten miles or so. If anything unexpected happens, they can report back to the branch immediately."
"The other reason is to wait for unlucky souls, kill them, drain their essence blood, and refine it into Essence Blood Pills."
"Consuming them can enhance a Martial Artist’s blood energy, allowing them to perform better."
Qiu Ming spilled out everything he knew in one go.
"So you’re saying there are more people from the Evil God Hall branch waiting for us up ahead,"
Chen Qingdi said.
"Yes. There are two in the valley, and after you cross the valley’s Jinsha River, there’s another one hiding in the water."
Qiu Ming told them everything.
"I didn’t expect a minor branch to be so heavily guarded."
"So how many Evil Cultivators are in the branch, and who’s in charge there?"
Chen Qingdi asked.
"This branch of the Evil God Hall is run by the Branch Master, Wan Qingchou. Below him are two Vice Hall Masters and ten Guardians. There are also nearly a hundred other Evil Cultivator disciples."
Qiu Ming said.
Hearing this, Chen Qingdi now had a rough understanding of the Evil God Hall branch’s internal situation.
"I’ve told you everything. Can you let me go now?"
Qiu Ming said, his face panicked.
"Of course."
Chen Qingdi smiled and patted him on the chest.
"Let him go. Everyone, move aside."
Chen Qingdi said to the people around him.
Hearing Chen Qingdi say this, everyone was a little confused.
"You’re really just letting him go?"
"Master, we can’t let him go!"
Chen Yuan and the others immediately protested.
"Just follow my orders."
Chen Qingdi said calmly.
They were reluctant, knowing that if they let a villain like him go, there was no telling what kind of trouble he would cause them later.
Qiu Ming, his face full of excitement, thanked Chen Qingdi again and again.
Then he got to his feet and quickly ran off.
"Emperor’s Physician, did you really just let him go like that?"
Master Hei, however, felt that things weren’t that simple.
"I think the great Emperor’s Physician is letting out a long line to catch a big fish."
Zhao Tong said with a smile from the side.
"What long line? What big fish?"
"Zhao Tong, why don’t you explain."
Chen Qingdi looked at Zhao Tong.
"I thought you let him go, Emperor’s Physician, so that he could lead the way for us. After all, the path to the Evil God Hall branch is difficult, and there are many Poison Barriers and other troubles along the way."
"Following this Qiu Ming should save us a lot of trouble."
Zhao Tong explained his reasoning.
BANG!
But just as he finished speaking, Qiu Ming, who had been happily fleeing and was now several hundred meters away, suddenly exploded, turning into a bloody mist.
It turned out that when Chen Qingdi had patted his chest earlier, he had infused an incredibly powerful burst of energy into his body.
As Qiu Ming moved, that power suddenly erupted, leaving him deader than dead.
After witnessing this, Zhao Tong looked completely awkward and couldn’t help but swallow hard.
"Looks like I was wrong."
Zhao Tong said with a bitter smile.
"How could the likes of you and I ever hope to comprehend the Emperor’s Physician’s profound intentions?"
"A buffoon like that naturally had to be eliminated."
Master Hei said, looking at Zhao Tong with a laugh.
Zhao Tong, however, turned his face away and ignored Master Hei.
"Let’s go. We need to keep moving."
Chen Qingdi could see that everyone was a bit weary, but they couldn’t stay in this forest. They had to set out at once.
