The entire courtyard of the White Jade Escort Agency was filled with an evil aura. The confrontation between the two masters caused a chilling tension to hang in the air.
Lingfeng swallowed hard, focusing intently on Ziren's Spider Silk Technique.
The Hall Master was momentarily taken aback, but soon dared not glance at Ziren again, quietly gathering a large amount of Spiritual Energy in his hands.
Although Ziren's cultivation was not as high as the Hall Master's, once he mastered the highest realm of the Spider Silk Technique, even someone one level above him could be strangled. How could the Hall Master afford to relax?
"Hahaha..." Ziren was enveloped in black spider silk, emitting an evil laugh that sounded like the arrival of death itself.
White Phoenix Mountain broke into a cold sweat, helping Bai Lian to stealthily retreat to the front yard.
"You killed my Soul-Devouring Cat, and I will make your soul scatter!" The death of the Soul-Devouring Cat filled Ziren with rage. The power of anger is boundless, and Ziren's determination for revenge only added to his momentum while diminishing that of his opponent.
"Revenge? Then I'll send you to meet Yama!" The Hall Master no longer regarded Ziren, as purple gas gradually surrounded him.
Ziren ceased his chatter and gently raised both hands; the spider silk danced around him like countless slender claws.
"Go!" Ziren shouted again. With his command, the spider silk came alive, as if it had been pent up for a long time and was now bursting forth. Each strand shot toward the Hall Master like sharp arrows.
The Hall Master quickly assumed a defensive stance, retreating step by step. Suddenly, the purple protective barrier around him exploded, creating a shockwave that shattered all the black spider silk.
Though the explosion of the spider silk lasted only a second, it provided the Hall Master with enough time to prepare.
The resilient spider silk straightened again and flew toward the Hall Master.
"Hehe!" The Hall Master chuckled wickedly and then seemed to sprout wings as he soared into the air.
But those threads seemed to have eyes, controlled by Ziren, and flew towards the sky.
"Blade of the Wind!" Hall Master suddenly spread his arms while flying halfway, and gas filled the space around him. The gas formed a massive whirlwind that kept the threads at bay.
Ziren clearly found it somewhat difficult, his brow lightly furrowing.
In an instant, the whirlwind around Hall Master began to spin faster. Then, invisible blades suddenly emerged from the whirlwind, howling as they slashed at the threads.
Although those threads were forged from Spiritual Energy, they were not very sturdy. The wind blades easily severed the threads, which then vanished.
Ziren paused for a moment, cold sweat breaking out on his cheeks, and then he channeled his spiritual power again, causing the threads to lengthen once more.
"More coming?" Hall Master was prepared, seemingly having found a way to exhaust Ziren's Spiritual Energy.
Ziren's lips curled slightly upward, as if he had some unknown thoughts in mind.
Sure enough, the threads did not attack Hall Master as before but transformed into a vast space. That space resembled a gigantic ribbon capable of devouring everything.
"Ha!"
The ribbon made of threads extended beyond Hall Master's space and suddenly surged forward like a giant fish catching shrimp, completely swallowing Hall Master inside.
Lingfeng felt cold sweat pouring down his back; witnessing the power of the Spider Silk Technique left him utterly astonished.
After a while, Ziren still did not retract his Spell. Just as Lingfeng was feeling puzzled, a muffled sound erupted from within the threads. The threads suddenly dispersed, radiating a burst of colorful light, and Hall Master slowly flew out from within, his face covered in wounds.
"Damn, he didn't die?" Lingfeng couldn't help but exclaim.
Ziren and the Hall Master both seemed to notice the presence of an outsider and turned their gaze towards Shengyuan.
However, Ziren had forgotten to be on guard, and the Hall Master casually released a purple sphere. The sphere struck Ziren silently and unexpectedly.
Caught off guard, Ziren was hit by the sphere, causing blood to surge up, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood before being sent flying.
Lingfeng, who was peeking outside, quickly covered his mouth, but the incident had already occurred. Moreover, Ziren was flying straight towards Lingfeng.
"Oh no!" Lingfeng thought to himself, quickly throwing a punch that shattered the stone wall. At that moment, Ziren also came hurtling through the air.
Uncertain whether Ziren was alive or dead, Lingfeng seized the opportunity to catch Ziren's body and made a face at the Hall Master above before muttering the Earth Escape Technique, disappearing from sight.
After escaping Bai Family Town, Lingfeng burrowed underground and arrived at Herb Hall before finally emerging with Ziren in his arms.
Mei was washing clothes by the well when she suddenly saw Lingfeng appear with someone in his arms. She quickly put down her clothes and rushed over.
"Mei, help me!" Lingfeng called out as he carried Ziren into the house.
"What happened? Who is this person?" Mei asked in confusion as she looked at Ziren's purple face.
Lingfeng took a deep breath, sitting on the bed while panting heavily. "This is Ziren, the chief steward of the State Government. He has been injured. Please prepare some food; I need to heal him!"
Mei nodded and hurriedly ran out.
Lingfeng glanced at the barely conscious Ziren, then rolled his eyes and reached out his hand as if intending to search Ziren's body.
However, Lingfeng's hand paused in mid-air. After a moment, he smiled at the unconscious Ziren and said, "This Hero does not like to take advantage of others' misfortune. Although you are powerful, I will wait until you wake up before taking your Falling Leaf Technique!"
He sighed and took out the Mystic Liao Golden Pill from the Xuanji to feed Ziren.
"Really, even though you are the enemy, I still have to save your life. It's quite a dilemma!" Lingfeng sat at the bedside and sighed as he saw Ziren's complexion gradually improving.
Although Ziren had taken the Mystic Liao Golden Pill, he still did not regain consciousness. His chest heaved violently, and he let out a few painful groans.
Unable to hold back, Lingfeng pulled open Ziren's clothing.
Right on Ziren's chest, a shocking purple mark appeared before Lingfeng's eyes.
"This Hall Master is truly ruthless, using poison combined with a spell. Fortunately, Herb Hall can neutralize poisons. Ziren, you really have a strong fate!"
The wound on Ziren's chest was left by the purple orb of the Hall Master. It was emanating black mist, clearly caused by poison.
Lingfeng turned and went outside to look at Mei, who was busy, and asked, "Mei, are you skilled in medicine?"
Mei wiped the sweat from her brow and replied, "I know a bit, but I wouldn't say I'm proficient!"
Lingfeng nodded and decided to let Mei take a look at what poison Ziren had been afflicted with, pulling her into the room.
Seeing the wound on Ziren's chest, Mei couldn't help but gasp in shock.
"What is it?" Lingfeng asked, noticing Mei's expression and realizing that Ziren's injury was serious.
"He has been poisoned with Mandrake Poison!" Mei answered.
"Mandrake Poison?" Lingfeng had never heard of such a poison and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"The Mandrake Flower is the first magical flower of the Mandala Demon Continent. By picking the petals of the Mandrake Flower in December and carefully refining them, one can create Mandrake Poison. My grandfather once refined such a poison, but it was only a small amount."
Lingfeng was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Since your grandfather has refined this poison, there must be an antidote!"
Mei's expression became somewhat heavy as she said, "My grandfather once refined this antidote, but it cannot be stored for long, so it is no longer usable. However, I know how to make this antidote!"
"That's good!" As long as they could save Ziren, they were not afraid of not obtaining the Mind Method of the Falling Leaf Technique.
But Mei shook her head and stared at Ziren, saying, "The materials and medicinal guide for the antidote are hard to find. I'm afraid we won't be able to gather them all!"
"What materials and what medicinal guide? I will help you find them!" Lingfeng hurriedly replied.
Mei thought for a moment, walked to the window, and slowly said, "First, we need a Cobra's Venomous Fang, a precious jade that has been buried underground for years, and lastly, unpolluted Chuan Shui!"
"That's not difficult!" Lingfeng could easily obtain the Cobra's Venomous Fang. Although precious jade buried underground was rare, Lingfeng could use the Earth Escape Technique; as long as he knew where the jade was produced, he could dive underground to get it. However, Lingfeng really didn't know how to obtain the unpolluted Chuan Shui. Nevertheless, he felt that Chuan Shui that had not been touched by anyone should be unpolluted.
Then Lingfeng asked again, "What about the medicinal guide?"
"This is the hardest part!" Mei said seriously to Lingfeng. "The medicinal guide is the broth of Thousand-Year Ginseng!"
Lingfeng was taken aback for a moment before suddenly laughing.
Mei didn't understand why Lingfeng was laughing and could only look at him blankly.
After a while, Lingfeng summoned a Ginseng Tendril from Xuanji and placed it in front of Mei, saying, "This is a Whisker of Thousand-Year Ginseng; half of it should be enough!" Although this Ginseng Tendril was long, after leaving the Demon Suppression Sect, Lingfeng had used it multiple times and there wasn't much left now. It was evident that Lingfeng had invested heavily to obtain the Falling Leaf Technique.
Mei's eyes lit up as she quickly nodded.
"Alright, I'll go get those three materials. However, I need your help!"
"You!"
"The place I'm going to is quite far, and it will take two trips. I need you to help me get a mount," Lingfeng said.
"Oh, that's simple." With that, Mei opened the door and called out, "White Wolf, come in!"
The White Wolf was lying in the yard, feeling bored. Upon hearing its master's call, it perked up and rushed over.
Lingfeng was taken aback, staring at the robust White Wolf, and asked dumbfoundedly, "You can't be serious about letting me ride it!"
Mei nodded, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "I usually use White Wolf for transportation. It runs very fast; I believe you can make the round trip in just one trip!"
Lingfeng couldn't help but feel nervous as he glanced at the White Wolf beside him, cold sweat forming on his palms. He thought to himself that since the White Wolf had always been wary of him due to his closeness with Mei, it wouldn't try to ambush him on the way, would it?
The White Wolf shot a glance at Lingfeng, as if saying, "You fool, just watch how I deal with you!"
Lingfeng shivered involuntarily and instinctively leaned back towards Mei.
