Chapter 89 - 89: 89 – Dared not Bet

Every single person present shudders at the mention of this name.

This is known to be an aggressively potent poison in the legends.

The poison of all poisons!

Its potency is terrifying, after consuming it, once the medicinal effect comes into play, the channels throughout the body will be filled with devastating energy.

The person who consumes it would first have to endure unbearable, excruciating pain—this agony stems from the very soul.

Over time, their channels would rot slowly, followed by the destruction of their vital energy source.

And that’s not all.

Projectile vomiting, blindness, and delirium are all secondary symptoms.

The end result for the poisoned individual? Decomposing into a pile of festering flesh and oozing fluid.

A gruesome death awaits.

Of course, there are many poisons that have similar effects, but the terrifying aspect of this medicinal pill is that it doesn’t directly cause death once its effects kick in.

Rather, it continues for an unhurriedly extensive period of time.

In this critical time, if you dare to mobilize your spiritual power, you would only suffer more agony.

That’s why the Nine Yin-Yang Pills is known as the most toxic of medicinal Pills.

The toxicity lies not in the physical effects, but in the human psyche!

And the cure?

Sorry, once the effects kick in, there’s no antidote, unless you decide to directly disable your source of vital energy and abandon all of your cultivation just to survive.

That is what makes it the most toxic!

The only solution? An antidote can counteract the poison before the effects kick in.

Fortunately, there is a certain time before it can take effect, at least seven days —it needs that time to penetrate every organ, limb, and bone with its toxicity.

Currently, Ao Yan is trying to break through a barrier. If the Nine Yin-Yang Pills take effect, my god, Ao Yan might end up completely ruined then and there!

Everyone looked at Jiang Xiaobai, all wishing they could chop him up into pieces and feed him to dogs!

“You’ve got guts!” Ao Zhantian pointed at Jiang Xiaobai, his eyes filled with fury.

Ao Cheng and Ao Cangtian, too, were burning with rage.

Ao Cheng, in particular, was so angry he couldn’t formulate a sentence as he pointed at Jiang Xiaobai.

A face flushed with rage expressed his present state.

Given the opportunity, he would surely shred Jiang Xiaobai to pieces.

“You dog! After I treated you like a brother, you dare pull such a trick on me!” Ao Cheng roared in anger.

Jiang Xiaobai casually cleaned his ears, his expression carefree.

“Keep shouting.”

“You know how to counteract the Nine Yin-Yang Pills, right?”

“Do you know how to create the antidote? Do you have it?”

Jiang Xiaobai still appeared carefree: “Either free me now, or watch Ao Yan die.”

“Don’t worry, the death of an ordinary person like me is a worthy exchange for the talented princess of Dragon Valley.” His words abruptly extinguished everyone’s anger.

They were truly out of options.

The Nine Yin-Yang Pills were a thing of legend. They had all heard about it but never seen it.

A lost recipe. How could they know how to create an antidote?

You’ve got to be joking!

Ao Zhantian stared intently at Jiang Xiaobai, continuously questioning the validity of his statements.

But, ultimately, Ao Zhantian was left with a single thought.

He could not gamble on this!

If Jiang Xiaobai wasn’t bluffing and truly poisoned Ao Yan, then Dragon Valley could bear the loss!

“You bastard, you’re nothing but a dirty scoundrel!”

Ao Cheng raged uncontrollably: “I could kill you now and still obtain the antidote!”

“Ao Cheng, don’t panic when faced with difficulties.”

Jiang Xiaobai calmly said: “Even if you kill me, you won’t get the antidote. The formula and method for creating it are all in my head. Even if you knew it, you wouldn’t be able to formulate it.

“Continue, let’s see how much more time you can waste.” Ao Cheng was flabbergasted!

“Ah! Jiang Xiaobai, you are nothing short of a beast!”

“Dragon Valley has treated you fairly, right? Even though they look down on your status, I sincerely considered you a friend!”

“So what?” Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow: “Power is the only law in this world. I, in the Qi Refining phase, am merely surviving.”

“Ao Cheng, you are too impulsive.”

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room plummeted to freezing.

Everyone’s glance on Jiang Xiaobai was blood-red; their murderous intentions were like the sea, ready to engulf him.

Even though there were many factions within Dragon Valley vying for complete power and status.

Even though Ao Zhantian was in contact with the ancient families.

But they all knew one thing, no matter what, Ao Yan was their hope for Dragon Valley.

That’s why Ao Yan could enjoy the highest status within Dragon Valley and do as she pleases.

But now, they don’t dare to take a gamble!

The only person who was slightly sober in this situation was Ao Cangtian.

When he first heard what Jiang Xiaobai said, the anger in his heart made him want to kill Jiang Xiaobai on the spot.

But on second thought.

That’s not right.

This kid has no reason to kill Ao Yan, and it seems like Jiang Xiaobai has been hinting at something to Ao Cheng all along.

“Phew, this kid is really a schemer.”

Soon, Ao Cangtian figured it out. This was Jiang Xiaobai’s plot to get out.

A fake plot!

After all, Dragon Valley didn’t dare to gamble!

Jiang Xiaobai also felt helpless. He had been hinting at Ao Cheng all along, but this idiot didn’t catch on. However, this was better.

In reality, he could communicate the plan to Ao Cheng.

But he was worried Ao Cheng would give it away.

The smartest thing to do was to keep Ao Cheng in the dark. His intense reaction at the right moment would be the perfect decoy.

“Good, very good.”

“Jiang Xiaobai, you are cunning. Who would have thought that I would fall into the hands of a mere mortal like you.”

Ao Zhantian clenched his teeth, these words were forced out from between them.

For this, Jiang Xiaobai paid no attention, continuing to tinker with his hands, his expression focused.

“I’ll take you out. But, if anything happens to Ao Yan, I assure you there are thousands of tortures in Dragon Valley ready to give you a taste!” Ao Zhantian said coldly.

“No, you’re taking me with you!”

Ao Cheng yelled, his eyes red, glaring at Jiang Xiaobai: “Jiang Xiaobai, if you dare play tricks, I promise you’ll die a horrible death.”

Even though Ao Zhantian was filled with rage, wishing he could crush Jiang Xiaobai here and now, he had no choice. Ao Yan was Dragon Valley’s last hope.

She couldn’t be lost.

Thus, Jiang Xiaobai and Ao Cheng walked leisurely outside, even though they were surrounded by Dragon Valley’s powerful forces. Jiang Xiaobai wasn’t scared.

Once he reached Ao Yan’s courtyard, he would immediately reveal the truth.

There weren’t any Nine Yin-Yang Pills to begin with!

Who knows what Ao Zhantian’s facial expression would look like when the truth is revealed.

Before leaving, Jiang Xiaobai secretly gave Ao Cangtian a thankful gesture.

Ao Cangtian gave him an equally meaningful look as he left.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, who would have thought there was such a person within Dragon Valley? They’re all going to be made monkeys of.” Ao Cangtian chuckled internally.

Now, he started to take an interest in Jiang Xiaobai.

Too bad he can’t go out, otherwise, he would truly want to see what everyone’s faces would look like when the truth was out..
