Chapter 709 - 709: Detoxification
It turned out that after knowing that Ji Yunxi had last appeared in Phoenix Town after leaving Great Xia, Xuanyuan Ce got someone to focus on searching the surrounding mountains.
After a few months of investigation, they finally discovered that it was very likely that the Valley of Heavenly Secrets was hidden in the cliff ridge 50 kilometers away from Phoenix Town.
It was rumored that no one who entered that area had ever come out alive, so it was called Ghost Ridge by the people in town.
Xuanyuan Ce, who was originally not sure, was even more certain that the cliff ridge was the place he was looking for. He immediately brought a group of people into the mountain.
However, the cliff ridge was so big, and the mountains were filled with poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts. How could it be easy to find?
After searching inside for more than a month, most of the team they brought with them had died. Not only did they not find the location of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets, but they also accidentally entered a poisonous forest filled with poisonous gas.
“Misty gas?” Shen Yijia remembered MO Yuan telling her about it.
“It doesn’t look like it. There’s nothing unusual inside. His Highness and I didn’t notice anything wrong at first. By the time we realized that something was wrong and wanted to retreat, it was already too late,” Chu Feng said.
“Then why aren’t you poisoned?” Shen Yijia frowned.
Wasn’t this strange? They entered the mountain together, but only one person came out poisoned.
“I’m not sure either.” Chu Feng scratched his head. “Apart from His Highness, the two Demon Guards were also intermediately poisoned.”
As for the others, they did not survive.
“How many days have you been back?” MO Yuan retracted her hand and asked expressionlessly.
Although he didn’t know why she asked this, Chu Feng still answered honestly, “Two days.”
“Bring the others. We’re going to the cliff ridge.”
It was Song Jingchen who said this.
Shen Yijia subconsciously looked at MO Yuan. She agreed.
“Why are we going there?” Shen Yijia was puzzled.
In such a dangerous place, if they were all poisoned, her spiritual liquid would not be enough to save them.
Song Jingchen pursed his lips and explained, “Everything in the world complements each other. If I’m not wrong, the reason why Chu Feng wasn’t poisoned was because he accidentally took the antidote.”
After being reminded by him, Chu Feng said thoughtfully, “After entering the poisonous forest, we didn’t see any prey around. We didn’t have much rations left, so I thought of leaving all the rations for His Highness.”
As for himself, he picked some unknown wild fruits to satisfy his hunger. Because he did not know if those fruits were poisonous, how could he dare to let Xuanyuan Ce eat them?
Now, from what Young Master Song said, the wild fruits he ate were actually the antidote?
Chu Feng felt terrible.
Shen Yijia glanced at Xuanyuan Ce and muttered, “Did Ji Yunxi ask me to come to Phoenix Town because she wanted me to save him? Would she be so kind?”
Didn’t they say that the people in the Valley of Heavenly Secrets could predict the future? Did she predict this?
“You saw that woman?” Chu Feng was surprised.
They had been in the cliff ridge for the past two months, and there was no news from outside.
Shen Yijia told him why she was in Phoenix Town.
Song Jingchen said, “Perhaps she didn’t expect Lord Jing’an to be here at all.” If she could really predict everything, how could Shangguan Yu have lost?
Shen Yijia thought about it and agreed. However, the most important thing now was to bring Xuanyuan Ce back to the cliff ridge to find the antidote.
Thinking of the poisonous forest Chu Feng mentioned, an idea suddenly appeared in Shen Yijia’s mind. Could the Valley of Heavenly Secrets be hiding behind the poisonous forest?
She looked at Song Jingchen.
Their eyes met. Clearly, he thought so too.
MO Yuan took the pulse of the two Demon Guards again. After the two of them were poisoned, they even forcefully used their internal energy to use qinggong to bring Xuanyuan Ce out of the cliff. Their situation was much more dangerous than Xuanyuan Ce’s. MO Yuan used silver needles to temporarily control the poison in their bodies, and the group left Phoenix Town that day..
