Gu Chenfeng quickly looked at the rapidly approaching spiritual ship. "Have you found them?" The Ice Phoenix flashed over, curious about who had captured Ling Qiushui. After all, with her cultivation at the peak of the Mahayana Stage, she couldn’t even sense Ling Qiushui’s Ice Attribute Spiritual Power. "Let’s also go take a look." Candle Dragon and the Three-headed Demon Wolf flew over, their enormous forms suddenly shrinking. "There’s news!" Thousand Tombs and Elder Celestial Monarch Xing were overjoyed, and they flew up one after another. "Wonderful! We must have news about Uncle Qiushui!" Zuo Qingyang and the other disciples of the Divine Sect smiled happily. "It seems to be good news," Tian Kui said happily, "We destroyed the Baili Family and the Myriad Swords Sect in battle, and now we have news of Qiushui. It’s truly a double blessing." Zhaixingzi looked at Tian Kui and asked, "What happened?" Tian Kui smiled faintly and said, "Qiushui was captured." "It seems they are after the Alchemy Technique," the Mad Elder guessed with a frown, "If it’s for the Alchemy Technique, Fairy Qiushui shouldn’t be in any danger. You don’t need to worry too much." "Let’s hope so." Tian Kui nodded slightly. Old Ghost frowned and said, "I suspected from the start that this would attract the attention of major powers." Gu Chenfeng’s eyes flashed with ferocity, and he said coldly, "Regardless of who it is, once I find out, I will not let them off lightly." The Old Monster glanced at Gu Chenfeng and smiled faintly, "They messed with the wrong person." The spiritual ship slowly came to a stop, and Qian Yue exclaimed happily, "Sect Leader, Elders, Junior Brother, we’ve got news about Uncle Qiushui." Gu Chenfeng quickly asked, "Senior Sister Qian Yue, what news did you find?" Celestial Monarch Xing eagerly urged, "Hurry up and tell us." Qian Yue replied with a smile, "Junior Brother, you were right. Someone really did see Uncle Qiushui and Yanran being taken away. We’ve brought him back." "This brother here saw it," Yang Shan pointed to a middle-aged man beside him. Everyone’s eyes turned to the middle-aged man. The man seemed somewhat frightened and quickly clasped his fists, saying, "Ancient Sect Leader, Elders, I saw Fairy Qiushui and another being captured in Qingfeng Valley. I was just heading to the merchant guild and happened to pass by." Thousand Tombs nodded, "Returning from the merchant guild to the Sect does pass through Qingfeng Valley." Celestial Monarch Xing urgently asked, "Do you know who they are and what their cultivation is?" The man respectfully replied, "Fairy Qiushui and the other had no power to resist. I guess they must be at the Soul Emergence Stage, but I’ve never seen them before. They were wearing masks, so I don’t know who they are." Tian Kui asked in surprise, "That’s it?" "That’s... that’s it." The man shook his head in panic. Thousand Tombs and the others were greatly disappointed, shaking their heads helplessly. Is this what you call good news? Not knowing who they are, nor having seen them, just seeing someone being captured, who didn’t know Ling Qiushui was captured? This was as good as saying nothing. Celestial Monarch Xing smiled wryly, "We don’t know who they are and haven’t seen them. Where are we supposed to look?" "Junior Brother, don’t worry yet." Thousand Tombs frowned and said gravely, "They’re probably after the Alchemy Technique, so they won’t harm Junior Sister’s life." The man looked embarrassed and cautiously said, "Ancient Sect Leader, their cultivation is too strong, I... I didn’t dare to get close, so..." The man was only at the Fasting Stage Realm; how could he provoke someone at the Soul Emergence Stage? Wouldn’t that be suicide? If it were someone else, they would have pretended not to see anything long ago. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵 The man now dared to speak out, which already required tremendous courage from him. "It’s alright." Thousand Tombs waved his hand. Gu Chenfeng looked at the man and frowned, "Think carefully if there was anything special about them." "Yes, yes!" Liu Qingqing immediately said, "For instance, did they use any Techniques, or did they have any special Magical Treasures?" "They didn’t use any Techniques or Magical Treasures," the man shook his head slightly. A Soul Emergence Stage expert didn’t need to use Techniques or Magical Treasures against Ling Qiushui and Shangguan Yanran, who had no power to resist. Everyone’s eyes were on the man, hoping he could recall something. Trying hard to recall their appearances, the man frowned, "They wore masks and black robes; one had the Fire Attribute, and the other the Wood Attribute..." "Oh, right, I remember, the strong figure with the Fire Attribute had the Fire Attribute from a millennial Fire Poison Scorpion." "Millennial Fire Poison Scorpion’s Fire Attribute?" Thousand Tombs and the others were shocked. "Yes!" The man said confidently, "The Fire Attribute of the Fire Poison Scorpion, I’ve seen it ranked in the merchant guild; it’s a purple-black flame, and I absolutely cannot forget the Fire Attribute aura of the Fire Poison Scorpion." "The Grand Elder Tianjizi said that only Poison Masters specifically seek the Fire Attribute of a Fire Poison Scorpion to enhance toxicity. There are very few Poison Masters in the Cultivation Realm, and only those born with a Poison Root can become a Poison Master. It should be easy to find this person." "Poison Root?" Zuo Qingyang was shocked, "It’s the first time I’ve heard of a Poison Root." "It’s the first time I’ve heard of it too," Liu Qingqing and Bai Tu nodded, dumbfounded. Gu Chenfeng said softly, "The so-called Poison Root is a Spirit Root that is naturally immune to all poisons, suitable to become a Poison Master, just like an Alchemist needs a strong Soul Body to become one." "I see." Zuo Qingyang and the others nodded. "Indeed," the Mad Elder nodded, "Those with a Poison Root won’t have poor innate talent. Poison Masters in the Cultivation Realm are indeed rare, similar to geniuses with three Attributes. Finding this person shouldn’t be difficult either." "The Old Monster’s Wuji Sect has a Poison Master, and he might be able to help quite a bit." The Old Monster smiled slightly, "I’m willing to help." "I’m happy to help too," Old Ghost said with a cheerful smile. "Ancient Sect Leader, Young Master Feng, the merchant guild can also help search," the Great Demon King smiled slightly, "I also know a Poison Master who might be able to help." Thousand Tombs was overjoyed and quickly clasped his fists in thanks, "That’s wonderful, thank you all very much." Gu Chenfeng smiled faintly, "Time is of the essence, we must trouble you all." "Ancient Sect Leader, three Elders, Young Master Feng, we will take our leave now. I’ll notify you as soon as we have any news," the Great Demon King said politely, then vanished along with the Ghost King and the Netherworld King. "Zhaixingzi, take this Tian Kui, and make sure to get him while he’s down!" the Old Monster transmitted, a triumphant smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. "Ancient Sect Leader, Young Master Feng, we also have important matters to attend to, so we take our leave," Zhaixingzi said politely, clasping his fists with a smile, and then disappeared with Tian Kui in tow. Tian Kui had no time to react. "Farewell!" The three Mad Elders quickly vanished as well. "Important matters?" Liu Qingqing pouted, "Hmph! I don’t believe they have any important matters. I bet they’re just taking Uncle Tian Kui to drink."
