”Damn it …” How could so many people suddenly be poisoned? Who dares to touch the head of the Demon Suppressing King! ”

He was Demon Suppressing King's younger brother, Xia Yuan. His voice carried enmity, and shook the entire Cang Yu.

His aura was abnormally powerful. It actually caused all the clouds in the area to collapse.

He had to get angry. Recently, the manor had not been peaceful. Poisonous deaths occurred one after another, and the area of effect was getting larger and larger. It was hard for him to calm down.

”Quick! Let Kung Fu Hall's Protector Xia Yan investigate this matter and search for the antidote. Even if I have to risk my life, I want to save my son!” The middle-aged man instructed the servants outside angrily. Then, he looked tenderly at the youth lying on the bed.

This was a Myriad Profound Stage cultivator, and his anger was as heavy as the sea. There were very few things that could disturb his state of mind, but because of this, he became so excited. If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't find the culprit, he might have started a massacre.

In the room, a handsome Direct Vein disciple had her eyes closed and her expression was pale. She had lost all her Cultivation Level and her breathing was intermittent.

In these few days, many people in the Duke Palaces had the same symptoms. They had been poisoned for no reason, and had died for no reason. The people from the Kung Fu Hall had searched for a whole three days, but could not find any clues.

Everyone was panic-stricken and did not dare to move about as they pleased. They randomly swallowed strange objects, fearing that it would be their turn next.

”Lord, Protector Xia Yan has come, and he even brought a Protector Xia Haitian.” One of the servants reported with a restrained tone.

Upon hearing the three words ”Xia Haitian”, the middle-aged man let out a light breath of relief and promptly said with a smile, ”Quick, invite the protector of Xia Haitian to come in and let him have a look for my son. Is there a solution?”

A few moments later, a few elders came in. They were all Family Elder s of Clan Hall, flocking around an old man.

This person was clad in white, and seemed somewhat otherworldly. However, his skin was completely loose, and only skin and bones remained. He looked like a skeleton that could die at any time.

However, an extremely majestic fluctuation of spirit energy was surging and spreading out from his relaxed skin. This old man was also a strong practitioner who had reached the Myriad Profound Stage Realm, and not an old man who was about to be buried.

”Protector Hai Tian, take a look at what happened to him. He seems to be on the verge of dying!” The middle-aged man lowered his posture and begged Xia Haitian to heal his son.

”Let me see!” Xia Haitian's expression was solemn as he walked over without saying a word. His eyes shone brightly as he sized up the youth. His expression changed abruptly as he faintly sighed and said, ”… Since the poison has attacked my heart, I am powerless. ”

When these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room instantly changed. It was as if the atmosphere had frozen, and it was extremely depressing. The middle-aged man's eyes were wide open and his face was ashen.

He found it hard to accept that the first Direct Vein disciple to die was actually his own son.

As if in response to Xia Haitian's words, the youth's face gradually turned black. A poisonous spot appeared, surrounded by black Qi. It was extremely terrifying, and it spread throughout his body.

Before long, his entire body was like a black corpse, lifeless and lifeless.

Everyone just watched, not daring to even breathe. This symptom was exactly the same as the one from yesterday. Without a doubt, this was the same poison. It was tyrannical!

”Son... ”Son, quickly wake up! Mother's here! Look at me …”

At this moment, a woman rushed in. Her eyes were red and tears were flowing down her face. She lay beside the boy and carefully caressed his face, hoping that he would open his eyes and look at her.

Xia Haitian's expression changed as he quickly held onto the woman and said, ”Madam, it's enough that she died. Don't go over there. She's poisoned!”

”No, let me go, I want to see my son …” The woman was still struggling.

At this moment, a hand pulled her forcefully. She turned around and saw that it was her husband.

”Madam, Qi'er won't be coming to save us. We can only accept her. But Jian'er still needs us. Not only is he our pride, he is also the pride of the entire palace. ”He's been training outside for so long. Logically speaking, he should be back by now …” The middle-aged man sighed as he tried his best to comfort the woman.

”Mn, we still have Jian'er …” With that, the beautiful woman's eyes turned red. Suddenly, her vision turned black and she fell backwards.

The middle-aged man supported the woman. His expression was ugly as he hated the mastermind to the bones.

”Protector Xia Yan, you must find the person who poisoned him. I will tear his body into ten thousand pieces, and grind his bones to dust!” At this moment, he could no longer suppress the aura of his Myriad Profound Stage anymore, and his face was filled with a violent madness.

The most tragic thing in the world was that the white-haired man gave away the black-haired man, but they encountered a calamity that came to their house and made him hate, desire, and be mad!

Although his eldest son was still alive, both of his hands were covered in flesh. He found it hard to accept even one dead. Such a thing was destined to be a lifetime of pain. Even if Xia Haitian were here, it would still be unavoidable.

A few days later, a huge uproar once again rose within the Duke Palace. This time, the one who died was actually an early stage Myriad Profound Stage Protector.

The state of death was still very horrifying. Black spots appeared on their bodies and many people panicked.
