Chapter 721 Qinji Poison

When they heard about the poison in the tea, the faces of the masters from the other six great families immediately darkened. They were not sure if there was also poison in their tea.

“Don’t be nervous everyone. He does not have the guts to poison all of you.” Qin Haodong picked up his teacup and twisted it with both hands. The base of the delicate porcelain teacup came off.

He raised the base of the cup in his hand and said, “This kind of cup is called the Immortal Cup, which is used specially to poison people. There are a few small holes drilled in the base, but they are all smeared with special wax oil, so they are not visible to the naked eye.”

“When he wants to poison someone, he only needs to put the poison in the base and then give it to that person. When the tea is poured, because the poison did not overflow, that person will not be able to find the source no matter how alert he is.

“But as time goes by, the person’s vigilance would be gradually relaxed. At this time, after the wax melts in the heat and the poison keeps seeping out, this will turn the original tea into a cup of deadly poisonous tea.”

“So don’t worry, everyone. This poison can only be found in my cup. You are all safe.”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. This was such a poisonous artifact which was really ingenious.

Some people picked up the cups in their hands to try, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not twist the base off. Only when they were sure that they were not being poisoned did they relax.

In fact, they were too worried. If they had indeed been poisoned, their bodies would have reacted a long time ago. After all, they did not have Qin Haodong’s immune body.

On the other side, Chu Shanhe had completely sunk into a heap and there was no joy on his face. If the previous contradiction could be resolved, then now they were completely on the opposite side of the Tang Sect.

From another perspective, if someone poisoned him, he would never spare that guy. He did not expect that this joyous occasion of his birthday would be ruined like this by these two fools.

After Qin Haodong was done highlighting how the Immortal Cup worked, he said to Chu Xuanming, “What do you think, Mr. Chu? Am I right?”

Seeing that Qin Haodong was not affected by the poison, Chu Xuanming’s last trump card had been used up. He was no longer as calm as before. His face was pale.

“Haodong, I was wrong. I was really wrong this time. For my sake, being your uncle, please forgive me.” Chu Xuanming no longer cared about his status and face. He knelt and kowtowed to Qin Haodong, begging for mercy.

Then he begged Chu Xuanyue who was next to him, “Sister, please help me to say something. I am your brother.”

Chu Xuanyue directly turned her face aside. At this time, her face was also very gloomy. If it was something else, she could still help put in a good word for him, but it was unforgivable of him to try and poison her son.

Seeing that his sister ignored him, he turned back and begged Qin Haodong again.

Of course, Qin Haodong was not fooled by his piteous act. This kind of person was like a viper. If you let him go today, he would bite you tomorrow.

“Tell me, what kind of poison did you use to poison me? What’s the purpose?”

While speaking, he directly used the Mind-manipulating ability.

“This kind of poison is called Qianji Poison. After it enters the bloodstream, it will switch from one location to another every two hours. There is no cure for it at all.”

“If one can’t get the antidote within 24 hours, all the places where the poison has flowed into will break down and eventually he would die because the body will start decaying.”

“It’s too barbarous. I can’t believe there’s such a vile type of poison…”

“If it switches its location every two hours, how can it be detoxified?”

“He poisoned his nephew. Is he still a human being? He’s so hateful.”

Under the control of the Mind-manipulating skill, Chu Xuanming did not care about other people’s accusations. He continued, “Even if you get the antidote, you can’t get rid of all the poison. It can only relieve the toxin temporarily.”

“The purpose of my poisoning you is to have control over your life. In future, you will obey my orders.”

Hearing this, many people who had kept quiet earlier started a noisy discussion about this.

If he could use the poison to control Qin Haodong, it was equivalent to controlling the whole Tang Sect. Now the Tang Sect dominated the whole capital, so controlling the Tang Sect was equivalent to dominating the capital. This just showed how ambitious Chu Xuanming was.

At the same time, everyone also understood why Chu Xuanming took the risk. It turned out that he had a very big goal in sight.

Qin Haodong asked again, “Since you have found such a rare poison, why are you still playing those dirty tricks on me?”

Chu Xuanming was like an obedient baby, answering every question he was asked. “I know you’re a tough person to deal with, so I’ve to come up with a lot of ideas. At least they can distract your attention and make sure the poison works.”

At this time, the masters from the Seven Great Families finally understood that Chu Xuanming was not stupid, but too shrewd.

At the same time, a deep fear of Qin Haodong rose in their hearts. Chu Xuanming could not even get rid of him by using such a vicious strategy, which showed how difficult it was to deal with Qin Haodong.

Qin Haodong continued to ask, “It’s impossible for ordinary people to make this poison. Where did you get it?”

Chu Xuanming said, “My son, Chu Mingcong, bought it from a woman named Qian Meihui. That woman is still hiding in his room.”

Chu Mingcong had been hiding behind the crowd. He had thought that his father would never betray him. He did not know that Qin Haodong had such a magical skill as Mind-manipulating.

Now when he heard his name being mentioned, he turned his head and was about to run, but Chu Mingli, who was standing next to him, kicked him and then hauled him by his collar and threw him in front of Qin Haodong.

Now, Chu Mingli worshipped Qin Haodong very much. Even though this guy was her cousin, she would not let him go.

Qin Haodong waved his hand and Ma Wenzhuo and Zhang Tieniu immediately rushed to the residential area of the Chu manor with their men.

He looked back at Chu Mingcong and asked, “How did you know Qian Meihui? How did you get her to cooperate?”

“After being taught a lesson by you at the airport that day, I felt very wronged, so I went to the bar to drink. I met Qian Meihui there. I saw that she was very beautiful, so I wanted to go to the hotel with her to vent the anger in my heart.”

“I did not expect that she would take the initiative to tell me that she had a blood feud with you and wanted to deal with you, together with me. I immediately agreed and then she gave me this Immortal Cup and Qianji Poison and taught me how to use them.”

“In order to prevent me from being suspicious, she came back to the Chu family’s villa with me in the evening. She did not leave and waited for my news.”

“Who is she? Does she have a blood feud with me?”

Qin Haodong searched in his mind thoroughly, but he did not remember when he had met her before.

At this moment, Zhang Tieniu walked into the hall with a beautiful woman. The moment he saw the woman, Qin Haodong immediately recognized her as Chiba Mieko from Japan.

In the exchange between Huaxia and Nihon a few months ago, Chiba Mieko had attacked him. He did not kill her. He just destroyed her cultivation. Qin Haodong did not expect that this woman would have such a strong revenge intent. After such a long time, she still came to Huaxia to kill him.

After coming to the hall, Chiba Mieko looked calm and did not show any fear. She glanced at Chu Xuanming and his son with disdain. “You two are really good-for-nothings. I’m so disappointed in you!”

After that, she looked at Qin Haodong and said, “You damn Huaxia man, you destroyed my cultivation. During this period of time, I have been working hard on this poison and have created one which has no antidote at all.”

“I thought I would be able to kill you this time, but I did not expect that these two stupid guys were so useless that they were discovered by you.”

Qin Haodong looked at Chiba Mieko coldly and said with a murderous look, “I have already let you go last time, but you still came here to poison me. Do you think I don’t dare to kill you?”

Chiba Mieko smiled proudly. “You’re right. You would not dare to kill me, because my grandfather is the Sage of Sword, Chiba Kusanagi.”

“My grandfather did not agree to let me practice martial arts, so it does not matter if you destroy my cultivation. But if you dare to kill me, my grandfather will definitely kill you and all your relatives.”

Hearing that the Nihon woman was the granddaughter of Chiba Kusanagi, many of the warriors present were moved. Chiba Kusanagi had dominated Nihon’s warriors’ circle for many years and was known as the number one martial artist in Nihon. Although he had not fought for many years, he was recognized as a Saint-level master.

Although the Tang Sect was now dominating the capital, Chiba Kusanagi was definitely not someone to be trifled with. They did not know how the young man in front of them would deal with this woman. Everyone’s eyes were focused on him.

Qin Haodong sneered and said, “Do you think a Nihon old man can scare us?”

A cold smile appeared at the corners of Chiba Mieko’s mouth. “Am I scaring you? Do you know why I did not leave, but waited for you to capture me in the Chu family? This is just one of my plans.”

“If my poison can’t kill you, I’ll let you catch me. It’s best if you can kill me and then let my grandfather avenge me in person. Then you’ll die.”

“This woman is really abnormal. She can even come up with such a method for revenge…”

“I think this woman is bluffing. She doesn’t want to die at all…”

“I don’t know if Qin Haodong would dare to kill this woman. Her grandfather is the Sage of Sword of Nihon…”

In the midst of so many discussions, Chiba Mieko raised her chin and said provocatively, “What do you think? Do you dare to kill me?”

“As you wish.”

After saying that, Qin Haodong flicked his finger and a gust of breeze shot out, entering the left side of Chiba Mieko’s chest.

Chiba Mieko had no cultivation at all. Her heart was immediately smashed. Her eyes were wide open, full of unwillingness. Obviously, she did not want to die. She did not believe that Qin Haodong dared to kill her.

But everything had become a reality. After a few seconds, her body fell to the ground with a thud and there was no breath left.

Seeing that Qin Haodong even dared to kill the Sword Sage’s granddaughter, Chu Xuanming and Chu Mingcong were scared out of their wits. They quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

“Don’t kill me, don’t kill me. We are blood relatives…”

“Haodong, I’m your uncle. I can give you all my property, but don’t kill me…”

Qin Haodong looked at the two people in front of him and said in a cold voice, “As people of our country, when you colluded with her to poison me, have you ever thought that we are blood relatives?”

“When you schemed against me time and again, didn’t you think about the consequences of failure?”

At this time, everyone present felt the killing intent from him and realized that the two people seemed to be in great danger. However, because of Qin Haodong’s regal air, no one dared to stand up and speak up for them.

Standing next to him, Chu Shanhe saw that his son and grandson’s lives were hanging by a thread, but he had no ability to stop it.

He turned his head to look at Chu Xuanyue, hoping that his daughter could stop Qin Haodong. However, Chu Xuanyue did not even look at him and had no intention to speak up at all.

Although Jin Xiuying’s acupuncture points had been hit, she had seen everything clearly. Her expression kept changing. Obviously, she was worried about her favorite son and grandson. But now, she could not utter a single word and she could not move at all.
