Chapter 923 People from the Poison King Sect Arrive
"Boy's urine? It's fine!" Tao Guang swallowed and said.
The urine of young boys has a very mild smell, just like drinking black tea, which Tao Guang could tolerate.
This time, Tang Lie shook his head in disappointment. "It's not a boy's urine, but the urine of an adult male whose elemental attributes are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth!"
Tao Guang immediately pictured himself being urinated on by five people at the same time, and almost vomited up his dinner from last night.
"What about the poop?" Tao Guang was more concerned about the excrement than the urine.
"We need the excrement of pigs, dogs, sheep, cows, and cats—in short, the stinkier the better!" Tang Lie continued.
Tao Guang finally understood that this was not an antidote, but rather a form of poisoning.
It must be said that the Tao family wielded considerable power, and the antidote was prepared in no time.
When the antidote was brought in using a latrine bucket, the room was already uninhabitable, and the butler left, holding his breath.
"It's not just a bowl..." Looking at the wooden bucket that was thicker than his waist, Tao Guang burst into tears, perhaps from the smell of the fumes.
"Disciple, hurry! Eat and drink it while it's hot, otherwise the medicine won't be as effective!" Tang Lie hurriedly reminded him.
To survive, Tao Guang disregarded everything else.
It is said that Tao Guang spent the entire day squatting in the latrine, constantly scooping things out, until he was almost vomiting his intestines out.
The servants and maids in the mansion all expressed their admiration, as this was something no ordinary person could do.
Inside the Qin family mansion, Lin Ping woke up very late, which seemed to suggest that he was deliberately delaying.
Old Qin paced anxiously outside the door, unsure whether to knock or not.
Perhaps fearing that Jiang Yunying would insist on continuing her cultivation, Lin Ping had no choice but to push open the door.
"Young hero, you'd better hurry up and leave. Tao Guang will be coming to you soon," Old Man Qin said anxiously.
"Who is Tao Guang? And why have you come to our door?"
Lin Ping pretended to be confused.
"Young hero, you really have a bad memory. Tao Guang is the one you beat up yesterday. He's a vengeful person, and he'll definitely come looking for you," Old Man Qin explained.
"Oh, so it's that good-for-nothing. Hasn't he had enough of being beaten?" Lin Ping said contemptuously.
He didn't even consider Tao Guang a threat.
Old Man Qin had also witnessed Lin Ping's martial arts skills; the servants of the Tao family were indeed no match for him.
"Young hero, you may not know this, but Tao Guang's master is a disciple of the Poison King Sect. If you mess with him, you'll suffer the consequences," Old Man Qin said in a low voice, afraid that Old Wang next door would hear. This was a top secret, and he wouldn't know it if he didn't know so many people because he ran a restaurant.
"The Poison King Sect!" Lin Ping gasped, naturally thinking of the Miao Gu King who ranked seventh on the list of extraordinary people.
"So it was he who poisoned Bao'er!"
Lin Ping suddenly realized that he had been wondering where Tao Guang got the poison, but now he had found the truth.
That being said, Lin Ping didn't want to offend the Poison King Sect, but he also didn't want to abandon the matter.
Once he leaves, Tao Guang will definitely not let Qin Laohan and his daughter go.
“The Poison King Sect should also be reasonable. Tao Guang harmed people first, and we were just trying to protect ourselves,” Lin Ping said.
Lin Ping wasn't that naive; he wanted to see just how capable the Poison King Sect really was.
Based on Lin Ping's understanding of these major sects, those who could take on disciples at the foot of the mountain were definitely not formidable figures.
Lin Ping suddenly smiled mysteriously, "Shushan Sword Sect, let me give you a big gift!"
"My husband is going to harm someone again..." Jiang Yunying understood the meaning behind Lin Ping's wicked smile; someone was definitely going to be unlucky again.
"Young hero, why don't you know how to be flexible? How could the Poison King Sect possibly be reasonable? If you don't leave now, you'll only face death." Old Man Qin stamped his feet anxiously.
"I remember now, Bao'er's body hasn't fully recovered yet and she needs to continue treatment," Lin Ping said, giving a reason based on his limp.
This was Qin Laohan's Achilles' heel, so he stopped insisting and only hoped that Lin Ping would be blessed by heaven and not be killed by the Poison King Sect.
As noon approached, another major event occurred in Meizhou City, causing a great stir throughout the streets and alleys.
"Have you heard? Many Shu Mountain disciples have died outside the city. I heard they were all killed by having their throats slit with a single sword strike!"
"That's right! I also heard that it was the Sword King Sect that did this."
"Sigh... Meizhou City is in turmoil again. We'd better be careful."
The people were talking amongst themselves, their faces showing fear.
Although this is a conflict between sects, it will also involve innocent civilians, who have suffered from this kind of war more than once.
Within Mount Shu, chaos reigned.
"Sect Leader, this disciple requests permission to kill Sword Heart Qin Yu." In the main hall, a disciple knelt on one knee, volunteering for the mission.
"This disciple also requests to fight, and will surely cut off the head of Sword Heart Qin Yu." Several disciples knelt and begged, and even some elders expressed their willingness to fight.
"Enough!" The middle-aged man on the platform was furious. "You think you can kill Qin Yu? Put this aside for now. The Sword King Sect won't last long!"
"Sword Heart Qin Yu, I'll let you live a couple more days." The middle-aged man revealed a sinister smile.
The other disciples understood what their sect leader's smile meant; it meant he was worried about the Sword King Sect.
Although the Sword King Sect is powerful, it has now become the common enemy of the righteous sects, and its destruction is only a matter of time.
They were just looking for a reason to attack the Sword King Sect, and Sword Heart Qin Yu turned out to be giving all the major sects an opportunity.
As night deepened, the entire city of Meizhou fell silent once more, and even the number of martial arts practitioners on the streets decreased significantly.
Knowing that Qin Yu was currently active, they dared not show their faces in public.
"Husband, will the people from the Poison King Sect really come tonight?" Jiang Yunying asked warily.
Thinking of how terrifying the Poison King Sect was, Jiang Yunying was still a little worried.
They were outnumbered and outmatched, and their martial arts skills were not top-notch; they didn't know when they might perish here.
"Father, will Brother Lin and the others be in danger?" Qin Bao'er asked worriedly from the next room.
Lin Pingke was her savior, so she should be worried about his safety.
"Sigh... The Poison King Sect is not to be trifled with. I tried to persuade him to leave, but he just wouldn't go. He even said he wanted to stay and treat your illness." Old Man Qin shook his head helplessly.
"Brother Lin, did you really stay for me?" The girl blushed, overjoyed, and even forgot the danger Lin Ping was about to face.
"Bao'er, there's something I'm not sure if I should say," Old Man Qin said in a low voice.
"Father, please speak." Qin Bao'er knew her father had something on his mind and hoped to help share some of it, especially since she was recovering quickly.
"Then I'll be frank," Old Man Qin said, mustering his courage. "In my humble opinion, Young Hero Lin and Miss Jiang are already married, so I'm afraid you won't have a chance."
Qin Bao'er was a young girl just beginning to experience love. Old Man Qin thought she would be hurt by these words, but to his surprise, she smiled and seemed relieved.
"Brother Lin is an exceptional man, and I am far too unworthy to be his wife. I only wish to be his maid and stay by his side for the rest of my life." Qin Bao'er smiled brightly, without the slightest hint of grievance.
"My daughter... why did you do this to yourself?" Old Qin sighed, feeling indignant on behalf of his daughter.
This is Qin Bao'er's choice, and Old Man Qin will not stop her.
He knew that even the maids around Lin Ping would receive meticulous care.
“Bao’er has grown up and can make her own decisions about some things.” Old Qin’s eyes were a little cloudy, as if he were about to say goodbye to his daughter.
A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup, and Qin Bao'er is even more fond of the wandering Lin Ping.
Once we leave, we may never see each other again in this lifetime.
Qin Bao'er cried even harder, but she had no choice. Even if she didn't marry Lin Ping, she would marry someone else and would eventually leave her father.
"Huh? Why are they crying all of a sudden?" Lin Ping was puzzled when he heard the father and daughter crying next door. He had not found any trace of the Poison King Sect disciples.
"Perhaps she's worried about her husband," Jiang Yunying explained.
This argument makes perfect sense. Lin Ping was the Qin family's savior, and now that he is about to die, how could they not be heartbroken?
"Husband, look! What's that?" Jiang Yunying exclaimed in horror, pointing to a hand on the courtyard wall.
It was a withered palm, covered in black mist, which was terrifying to look at.
The hand kept moving upwards, soon revealing an arm, and then a cold, sinister face.
"Climb over the wall to get in?" Lin Ping broke out in a cold sweat; this was completely unpredictable.
Lin Ping had assumed the other party would scale walls or descend from the sky, so he aimed the X-ray at the sky and the rooftops. He never expected that the other party would enter through the courtyard wall, and that he would climb in.
thump!
The entire dark figure crashed to the ground with a scream; this entrance was rather unglamorous.
The shadowy figure glanced around warily, worried about being discovered.
"What a deep scheme, deliberately letting us down our guard," Lin Ping quickly analyzed.
With his meticulous mind, how could he not see through the enemy's tactics?
Underestimating the enemy is a cardinal sin in warfare, and Lin Ping will not fall for it.
The shadowy figure moved very quickly, almost at the pace of an ordinary person jogging, and the sound of its toes landing was even more unbelievable—yes, it was quite loud.
"Father, the Poison King Sect has arrived!"
Upon hearing footsteps in the courtyard, Qin Bao'er broke out in a cold sweat, clasped her hands together, and prayed incessantly for Lin Ping.
"Don't say a word." Old Qin covered his daughter's mouth, afraid that the enemy would come knocking.
Not only was Old Man Qin afraid, but Lin Ping was also worried that the Poison King Sect would make a move against the Arm Room, as this guy was completely unpredictable.
As expected, the Poison King Sect member stopped in the middle of the courtyard, caught in a difficult choice.
There are four rooms around him: the main room on the north side, Qin Bao'er's boudoir, and guest rooms on the east and west sides.
After a fierce internal struggle, the experts from the Poison King Sect burst into the west guest room, making quite a racket.
“This man is very calculating and not easy to deal with,” Lin Ping explained. “He knew there was no one inside, so he deliberately went in to set up an ambush and then lured us in.”
Jiang Yunying also felt that this person was not easy to deal with. Not only was he highly skilled in martial arts, but he also did not play by the rules.
"Huh? Where is everyone? Looks like I went to the wrong room." Tang Lie said angrily, "This is the tenth mansion I've broken into, I can't afford to make another mistake!"
Tang Lie arrived so late because he had gone to the wrong door the previous times.
He criticized Tao Guang for not writing the location clearly, which was a great challenge for someone who was illiterate.
Tang Lie was still somewhat unwilling to give up, and searched high and low for the person before finally emerging from the room after a long while.
“He lost his patience, but my husband is so patient!” Jiang Yunying praised.
"Now it's our turn to make a move," Lin Ping grinned slyly, then began to snore.
"My husband's move is truly brilliant! He deliberately used snoring to attract the enemy's attention, and he was bound to break in through the window. Little did he know that a trap had been set up at the window!" Jiang Yunying was very impressed.
Having a husband like this by my side gives me a strong sense of security.
"So that's where he is!" Tang Lie had already located Lin Ping's position and was prepared to kill a thousand innocent people rather than let one guilty person go free.
As Tang Lie approached step by step, Lin Ping's heart raced with nervousness.
creak...
The door was pushed open, and Tang Lie walked in openly and honestly, without flinching or hiding.
"Entering through the main gate?" Lin Ping gasped. This clearly demonstrated the other party's strong confidence and lack of fear of being discovered.
As a result, all the mechanisms originally placed on the windows became ineffective.
"Is it you who poisoned my disciple?" Tang Lie woke up Lin Ping, who was pretending to be asleep.
"Damn it, they've figured it out." Lin Ping became increasingly nervous and had no choice but to open his eyes.
Hiding in the shadows, Jiang Yunying's hands were trembling; she knew she had been discovered.
"That's right! It's me!" Lin Ping slowly stood up, ready for battle.
