CHAPTER 590: CHAPTER 590: ATTENDANT

Seeing Dugu Wu suddenly fall, the expressions of the people present differed greatly.

Nalan Yan’er and Princess Anyang’s complexions changed dramatically, and Feng Bailing was also stunned, momentarily forgetting to speak.

Dongfang Yu also had an unhappy look, as he could tell that Nalan Yan’er still harbored deep feelings for Dugu Wu.

"Feng Bailing, aren’t you going to produce the antidote now?"

"I don’t have the antidote, the poison wasn’t mine to begin with."

Feng Bailing said with a trembling voice.

"Anyang, quickly bring out the antidote."

Nalan Yan’er, who was previously conspiring with Princess Anyang, couldn’t care about anything else at this moment. She grabbed Princess Anyang and demanded urgently.

"I also don’t have the antidote."

Princess Anyang appeared soulless, staring at the unconscious Dugu Wu.

Although she was to marry Dongfang Li, her heart was always yearning for Dugu Wu.

If it wasn’t because Dugu Wu was unwilling to marry her, why would she choose Dongfang Li?

Now, her heart was in agony.

Regaining her senses, she shouted aloud to the people around her.

"Elder Gan, I beg you to show up, Prince Wu is in grave condition, you must have the antidote."

Her voice echoed across the vast desert, yet no one appeared after a long while.

With her shout, everyone instantly understood.

It turns out what Princess Anyang had been saying were all lies.

The poison was not Feng Bailing’s at all, the real bringer of poison was Princess Anyang herself.

Even a formidable Wuji Master like Dugu Wu fell unconscious immediately upon taking the medicine. If the poison made its way into their water source and they were to consume it, one can only imagine the consequences.

The faces of the people from Great Chu were all unpleasant to look at, and Dongfang Li was even more furious, stepping forward and fiercely slapped Princess Anyang.

"You venomous woman, you actually wanted to poison us all to death."

Princess Anyang also did not expect that Mr. Gan, who had promised her that he would appear, had not shown up all this time. Looking again at Dugu Wu on the ground, who seemed to have stopped breathing, her grief was overwhelming.

"No, Elder Gan wouldn’t deceive me."

Princess Anyang muttered to herself.

"The pill you gave me earlier, that must have been poison too, right?"

Dongfang Li said hatefully, luckily he didn’t get tricked.

"Seventh Prince, don’t misunderstand. This medicine is truly divine, capable of helping you to condense the Wuji Seal."

She hurriedly produced the pill from her possession.

"This pill was also given to me by Elder Gan. He didn’t really want to poison everyone; he just wanted to invite the Medical Buddha."

Feng Bailing raised an eyebrow; she then looked over to Ouyang Chenchen and Mr. Nan Chen.

Especially Mr. Nan Chen, who, upon hearing the name of Elder Gan, his eyes became grave.

"A divine medicine?"

Feng Bailing stepped forward, snatching the so-called divine pill from Princess Anyang’s hand.

Princess Anyang urged hastily.

"Give me back the medicine."

Feng Bailing examined the pill in her hand.

Princess Anyang stepped forward, intending to fight for the pill.

"What’s the rush, I’ll give it back to you now."

Before Princess Anyang could snatch the pill, Feng Bailing grabbed her by the jaw, stuffing the pill into Princess Anyang’s mouth.

Princess Anyang was caught off guard and the pill was suddenly swallowed down her throat.

After the pill entered her stomach, Princess Anyang felt a burning sensation in her belly, as if something inside her was frantically tearing apart.

"Feng Bailing, what have you done to my medicine?"

Princess Anyang began to retch, trying to vomit out the pill.

"In this world, there is no such medicine that can condense the Wuji Seal. The so-called medicine that assists you in Gathering Seal is actually poison, using the method of overdrawn potential in your body to let you temporarily form a seal. Once time passes, or if the dosage is not controlled properly, it will cause sudden death."

Princess Anyang turned deathly pale upon hearing this.

Feng Bailing casually glanced at Nalan Yan’er and her husband as she spoke.

Both husband and wife looked uneasy.

They both thought of the medicine from Hua Wushang. People who took Hua Wushang’s medicine could indeed gather the seal, but many also could not withstand the potency of the medicine and died painfully, while Nalan Yan’er thought of Dongfang Jin. Jinjin also took that medicine; it wouldn’t have any side effects, would it?

"No, you’re deceiving me."

Princess Anyang couldn’t believe it.

But at this moment, her body had already told her the correct answer.

Princess Anyang’s talent was not as good as Dongfang Jin’s; she could temporarily withstand the potency of a pill, but after taking two pills in a row, her body could no longer endure it. Moments later, blood was flowing from her mouth, nose, and ears, and she painfully rolled on the ground.

A quarter of an hour later, she no longer moved. Princess Anyang was dead.

"This woman, she deserved to die."

Until Princess Anyang took her last breath, Dongfang Li merely sneered, without a trace of sympathy.

He secretly glanced at Dugu Wu not far away, feeling pleased in his heart; it would be good if Dugu Wu were dead, so he could pursue Feng Bailing again.

Perhaps sensing Dongfang Li’s thoughts, Dugu Wu, who had been lying motionless on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes and stood up with a composed expression.

"What?"

Dongfang Li was dumbfounded.

"That poison... It wasn’t poisonous?"

Dongfang Li was discontented and annoyed; Princess Anyang was incompetent and ruined everything. Why didn’t she just poison Dugu Wu to death?

"Prince, your acting is remarkable."

Feng Bailing expressed her sincere admiration.

Of course, Feng Bailing knew that Dugu Wu would be fine; the poison in the medicine bottle had been replaced by her with the Water Holy Seal and turned into Spiritual Spring water. She originally planned to enact a scene herself, but Dugu Wu took the initiative and performed even better than she would have.

"Mutual admiration."

Dugu Wu narrowed his peculiar eyes, full of mischievous intent.

When he drank the "poison," he realized it was not poisonous.

Of course, he knew Feng Bailing had her own motives; he was just worried about Feng Bailing getting "poisoned," which is why he hurriedly drank the poison first.

A farce finally came to an end.

Princess Anyang’s body was taken away and hastily buried.

"What is the background of that Elder Gan? Why would he want to harm us?"

Ouyang Chenchen pondered.

"The answer to this question, I’m afraid Mr. Nan Chen will need to help us answer."

Feng Bailing looked towards Mr. Nan Chen.

She had long noticed something odd in Mr. Nan Chen’s expression.

As she spoke, Feng Bailing took out the swapped poison she had switched and handed it to Mr. Nan Chen.

Mr. Nan Chen closely inspected the medicine, remained silent for a moment, and then sighed.

"This medicine is from my sect, a highly toxic substance. Fortunately, no one has been poisoned, otherwise even I wouldn’t be able to cure it. In the current world, there is only one person who can neutralize this poison, and that is my teacher, Tian Jizi. However, after his disappearance, this medicine was also lost. It seems now that it has not been lost. This Elder Gan must be Gan Liu, my teacher’s attendant. This man is extremely dangerous, his understanding of poison even surpasses mine and that of all my fellow brothers and sisters. He must have come for my teacher’s legacy. Remember, do not confront him; otherwise..."

Mr. Nan Chen’s gaze became increasingly solemn.
