Chapter 493 The Poison-Dispersing Curse is More Than Just Dispersing Deadly Poison

She was no match for Mu Yun Chu, and could only flee for her life.

There was no other way; she didn't want to die so inexplicably at the hands of a callow youth.

So, during her final attack, she risked serious injury to poison the boy, and it should be taking effect by now.

"Your Holiness, please leave quickly. I will guard this place for you," Qin the witch doctor said urgently, listening to the increasingly noisy fighting and screams in the distance.

The saintess's narrow eyes were now burning with rage.

This Fairy Valley is the most secret place in the Wizard's Palace for raising Gu poison. These people actually dared to burn it down. They are truly despicable!

What's most infuriating is that she doesn't even know who the other person is!

The thought that Protector Ling might have fallen into the hands of those people made her regret having Doctor Qin bring him over.

After thinking for a moment, the Holy Maiden spoke, "We must protect the Ten Thousand Gu Cave and those medicinal ingredients! Also, we must find Protector Ling and bring him back."

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do my utmost," Qin the witch doctor bowed respectfully, a glint of something in his eyes that was impossible to decipher.

"Alright, I'll leave this place to you. Have Wu Yi and Wu Er escort me as I leave," the Holy Maiden stood up and instructed Doctor Qin.

Wu Yi and Wu Er were the two law enforcement guards who broke through to the Grandmaster level.

Those were her most capable and loyal guards, so naturally she wanted to take them with her.

Upon hearing this, Doctor Qin slightly lowered his gaze, a thought flickering in his mind. With Immortal Valley on the verge of falling, and the Holy Maiden having taken two Grandmaster-level experts away while leaving herself severely injured, what if…?

"Yes, they are outside. Holy Maiden, please set off as soon as possible. I will activate the poison array immediately."

The saintess nodded, tightened her black cloak, and put another pill in her mouth. Her internal injuries had relapsed, and she was feeling weak and powerless. Hearing the noise outside, she was naturally anxious and wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"Where there's life, there's hope," she thought, and resolutely stood up.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, he spat out a mouthful of black blood and collapsed softly to the ground.

"Lord Saint!"

"Lord Saint!"

······

At this moment, all the dozen or so people in the dark room rushed over. They were all loyal protectors and guards of the Holy Maiden, so they were terrified when they saw her suddenly vomit blood.

"Qin the Witch Doctor," a woman in white said, lifting the saintess's shoulder and looking at Qin the Witch Doctor.

This is the Holy Maiden's second protector, named Ziyi, who is extremely loyal to her.

Qin the witch doctor was shocked and immediately stepped forward to examine the patient. After taking the pulse, he paused for a moment and said, "Poisoned, and it's a deadly poison!"

Since escaping here with the saintess, she hadn't noticed anything unusual about her. When was she poisoned? Who poisoned her?

"Please, Doctor Qin, think of a way quickly!" None of them understand witchcraft, and only Doctor Qin can save the Holy Maiden at the moment.

Qin the witch doctor pondered for a moment and nodded.

The saintess has a special constitution; normally, many poisons wouldn't pose much of a threat to her. However, this time the backlash from the witchcraft was quite severe, and she was injured in the fight, and now she's been poisoned...

This poison was so peculiar that she couldn't immediately determine its origin.

She sat cross-legged, raised her right hand and flipped it over. Immediately, a wisp of black mist appeared in her palm, swirling and growing thicker. Upon closer inspection, some black dots could be seen moving within it.

Absolutely horrifying!

Qin the witch doctor's eyes flickered, and she slowly pushed the mist into the saintess's mouth.

The guards standing around exchanged glances, puzzled.

Once the fog had dissipated, Doctor Qin looked up and said, "Quickly take the Holy Maiden away; she is deeply poisoned, and her condition is very strange."

I cast a poison-dispelling spell on the saintess; it will keep her alive for a month. Take her to the capital to find the high priest, and be quick!

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, although the crowd did not understand what the Poison-Dispelling Curse was, they were relieved to see that the Holy Maiden had stopped spitting blood.

Zi Yi beckoned several guards to hurry forward, lift the saintess up, and lead her out of the dark room toward a hidden passage.

Behind them were several protectors and more than a dozen guards, as well as Wu Yi and Wu Er, who were dressed in black.

Watching the group walk to the end of the passage, turn the corner, and disappear from sight, Qin the witch doctor turned and went into the dark room.

"Come on, strengthen the guards of the drug-inducing prison, and the rest of you, retreat to the Gu-raising Hall. Activate the Illusion Poison Array on the outer perimeter!"

Qin the witch doctor gave instructions to the two remaining guards in the dark room.

After giving her instructions, she revealed a strange smile.

Thinking of the saintess who had already left, her smile became even stranger.

The Poison-Dispersing Curse is more than just dispersing deadly poison; this saintess may no longer be able to remain a saintess.

While using the Poison-Dispelling Curse to detoxify, it will also dissipate your internal energy. You can't have your cake and eat it too, can you?

It's time for the Holy Maiden to make way for the next Holy Maiden...

Remembering the Grand Wizard's dissatisfaction with the Holy Maiden, Doctor Qin breathed a sigh of relief.

However, considering that the poison in the saintess was most likely the work of that short boy, she couldn't help but smile.

Very well, this gives her a legitimate reason to take action.

If Gu Qingyue knew what Qin the witch doctor was thinking at this moment, she might want to vomit blood.

It was a poison powder made from the venom of highly poisonous plants and small golden snakes, and the amount was very small, so she used it very cautiously.

She poisoned the saintess not because she was afraid of losing the fight, but because she never intended to save her life.

The original plan was to poison her first, find out what kind of witchcraft had been used on Gu Changling and how to undo it, and then kill her. However, the Holy Maiden was rescued, and the opportunity was lost.

Unexpectedly, the Wizard's Temple possessed something called the Poison Spell, which meant the Holy Maiden's life was not meant to end.

In the darkroom.

Seeing that everyone had left, Qin the witch doctor casually scattered a wisp of black mist, which then gradually faded away.

She then left, satisfied.

At this moment, Mu Yun Chu, who was standing outside the Ten Thousand Gu Cave, did indeed feel that something was wrong with her.

His body began to feel hot, and a strange force began to stir within him, running rampant and out of control.

Sensing this, he immediately took a deep breath and mobilized his internal energy, trying to suppress that strange feeling.

He thought about it and understood; it was probably the poison from that Qin witch doctor.

When he landed his blow, he seemed to feel a black mist brushing past his face. He immediately held his breath and turned his head to the side, but he must have inhaled some of it.

The poison in this wizard's temple is indeed potent! It's impossible to guard against.

Thinking of this, he immediately raised his hand and swallowed an antidote pill given to him by Gu Qingyue.

The pill melted in my mouth, and I immediately felt better.

Gu Qingyue was carefully investigating the situation of the Ten Thousand Gu Cave at the moment. She was standing one step in front of Mu Yun Chu and did not notice Mu Yun Chu's abnormality.

“Let’s go, I’ve found a path,” Gu Qingyue said, reaching out to grab Mu Yun Chu’s sleeve.

The two immediately concealed themselves and headed towards the path.

The Ten Thousand Gu Cave was indeed located in a mountain valley. It was late at night, and when Gu Qingyue released her spiritual power, all she could see was a thick fog enveloping the valley, making it almost impossible to see what was inside.
