Chapter 928 Shifting the Blame East
As news of the Poison King Sect's impending invasion of Meizhou City spread, the Shushan Sword Sect finally faced a difficult choice.
Click!
The sect leader of Shushan slammed his hand on the table, shattering it, and said through gritted teeth, "You old poisoner, you actually think about making a comeback? It's been a full twenty years. Do you still think the Poison King Sect can run rampant like this?"
During the twenty years that the Poison King Sect was in seclusion, the three major sword sects rose rapidly, and their disciples diligently cultivated, producing a large number of experts who were capable of competing with the Poison King Sect.
Moreover, the three major sword sects are closely allied; at worst, they can join forces to destroy the Poison King Sect.
It must be said that the appearance of the Poison King Sect was perfectly timed.
Now is the time for the three major sword sects to compete with the sword king sect. The appearance of the poison king sect has immediately stirred up the waters, making the situation of the various sects even more complicated.
"Sect Master, should we destroy the Poison King Sect?" an elder asked.
As a master player at the late stage of the fifth dan level, he had enough confidence.
The sect leader of Shushan shook his head. "I don't think the Poison King Sect will come out in full force. This time, we'll teach them a lesson and let them know who is the master of Meizhou City."
"This disciple requests to fight!" The eldest disciple of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect volunteered. He was a top expert at the mid-stage of the fifth level and a standout among the younger generation.
If he hadn't been overshadowed by Qin Yu, he probably would have become the leader of the younger generation in the Bashu region long ago.
"Yes, go and handle it. Make sure the Poison King Sect regrets it!" The Shu Mountain Sect Master nodded, very satisfied with his eldest disciple.
"Disciple obeys!" said the eldest disciple of Mount Shu, clasping his hands in a fist salute.
To ensure everything went smoothly, the eldest disciple of Mount Shu brought more than twenty experts, one of whom had even reached the early stage of the fifth level.
With this lineup, let alone dealing with the few members of the Poison King Sect, they could easily dominate the entire Sichuan region.
"Mr. Qin, we will be closed for three days starting tomorrow," Lin Ping said seriously.
Old Qin understood Lin Ping's meaning, so he didn't ask any more questions and obediently hung up the "Closed" sign.
According to Lin Ping's calculations, the Poison King Sect should appear within three days, and the big fish, the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, has already taken the bait. All that's left is to sit back and watch the tigers fight.
To be honest, Lin Ping knew very little about the Poison King Sect and had no idea what kind of experts they would send. If the people from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect arrived late, they might be in mortal danger.
Lin Ping has been busy these past few days, fiddling with several pieces of charcoal, turning them over and over, and even carving them with a silver needle.
"My husband has already carved this charcoal into pieces the size of rice grains. What is its purpose?" Jiang Yunying couldn't help but ask, looking at the pile of black charcoal that resembled rice grains.
"This thing is very useful; it can save your life in a critical moment," Lin Ping said mysteriously.
Two days later, Lin Ping finished his masterpiece. He was holding four masks, all of which were stuffed with charcoal.
"Brother Chen, are we supposed to wear masks?" Qin Bao'er asked doubtfully, feeling that this was a veil to hide their identities.
But this veil is really ugly. Not only is it made of black cloth, but it's also filled with a bunch of charcoal.
"These are masks for protection against poison. If anyone from the Poison King Sect shows up, put them on immediately. Even the most potent poison won't be able to harm us," Lin Ping said earnestly.
Charcoal has good filtering properties and can indeed be used for poisoning prevention.
High-quality ghost face masks can completely protect against various toxic gases.
Although Lin Ping's mask was somewhat rudimentary, it was more than sufficient for protection against the virus.
"Oh..." Qin Bao'er nodded with some doubt.
Lin Pingke was someone she admired, and she would do her best to do things regardless of whether what he said was right or wrong.
As for Jiang Yunying, she knew her husband's abilities very well; whatever he made had never disappointed her.
That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high; it was clearly a perfect day for murder and arson.
Lin Ping and the others hid in a room, waiting for the enemy to appear.
Bang!
A crisp sound came from inside the courtyard, as several jade screens cracked open at the same time, billowing black smoke from within.
"What cunning fellows! They poisoned the enemy before letting them in!" Lin Ping cursed inwardly. Judging from their insidious methods, these people were far more capable than Tang Lie.
"Put on your masks, the enemy is coming!" Lin Ping said warily.
They all did as Lin Ping instructed.
Before long, thick black smoke had spread into the room, and they could clearly see the rats hiding under the bed foaming at the mouth.
Qin Bao'er was startled; she worried that she would be the next rat.
"Don't be afraid, the poison gas has no effect on us!" Lin Ping said firmly.
As expected, after the black mist dissipated, they were all unharmed.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" Two dark figures appeared in the courtyard, naturally Tang Thirteen and Fourteen of the Poison King Sect.
"Senior brother, they should have been poisoned to death by now, right?" Tang Shisi asked excitedly.
They had honed their poison skills since childhood, but had never had the chance to go down the mountain and kill people, which made them very eager to do so.
"Hmph, a mere brat, it's his honor to die from my poison." Tang Shisan said confidently, he really couldn't understand how Tang Lie was killed by Lin Ping.
At the same time, Lin Ping had already seen through the strength of the two men. A cold smile appeared on his lips. "Both of them are just trash at the late stage of the fourth level. Without the advantage of poison skills, they are no different from chickens."
Lin Ping was a little worried before the effectiveness of the masks was verified. Now that they are immune to the poison gas, they have nothing to fear from the two scoundrels from the Poison King Sect.
"Wife, let's go and meet them," Lin Ping said with great interest.
He didn't intend to kill the two directly, but rather to play with them a little longer until the people from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect appeared, so that he could provoke conflict between the two sides.
"Is your poison very potent? I don't feel any pain or itching at all," a disdainful voice echoed in the courtyard.
Under the moonlight, Lin Ping stood with his hands tucked into his pockets.
"You brat, you're still alive!" Tang Shisi stared at Lin Ping in astonishment.
"Junior brother, don't panic. This is a slow-acting poison. It's definitely not taking effect yet. Since he's come looking for death, let's send him on his way!" Tang Shisan said confidently.
"A drug that kills a rat instantly is also called a slow-acting poison?"
Lin Ping felt ashamed, as his understanding of the Poison King Sect disciples was once again refreshed.
They always like to find all sorts of reasons for their failures; even if they can't convince others, they can convince themselves.
"The people from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect are here. Let's retreat." Lin Ping noticed more than twenty figures descending from the sky.
shhhhhh!
One figure after another landed around Tang Shisan and Shisi, instantly forming an encirclement.
"Shushan disciple Xiao Yang has been waiting here for a long time!" the Shushan chief disciple said with a sinister smile.
But when he saw that the Poison King Sect had only sent out these two, he felt a sense of disappointment. It seemed that the Shu Mountain Sword Sect had made a big fuss.
Xiao Yang even had a strange feeling: was the Poison King Sect really here to challenge the authority of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect? Was it really to reclaim everything that belonged to him?
