”Not good!”

Wang Chong instantly felt an ill foreboding. At his level of cultivation, not even an ambush from an Imperial Great General would be able to produce this sort of ill foreboding in him. One could easily imagine how dangerous these threads were.

Thump!

Wang Chong arrived quickly and backed out just as quickly, his feet slamming against the ground before those threads could reach him.

”Careful!”

He heard a weak voice, and then a 'ssst' of ripping cloth.

One of those slender threads had brushed past Wang Chong's left shoulder, and he felt a tinge of pain as his clothes tore open, revealing a thin red wound.

Blood instantly gushed out, but this crimson blood soon turned green, imbuing it with an indescribable strangeness.

Poison!

Wang Chong's heart thumped as he instantly understood. But at his current level of strength, even strong poisons should have been blocked or slowed down by his Stellar Energy.

Yet mere moments after the poison thread had cut into his left shoulder, his blood had already begun to turn green from poison. There was clearly nothing simple about this poison.

I'm already starting to feel numb! Just what is this poison? Not even Stellar Energy can stop it! Wang Chong remarked to himself in shock.

This Origin Immortal Treasury was brimming with dangers. The Stellar-Piercing Beetles, the Dragonbeasts, the Nightmare Beast, this mysterious poison fog—any one of them could end someone's life.

Given the sharpness of that threat, if he had not noticed ahead of time using his Psychic Energy and dodged, he would have been sliced in two.

The poison fog continued to roil through the massive cavern, but the poison threads had vanished.

Wang Chong somewhat relaxed and used the time to treat his injuries. But with a sudden thought, he began to search in the direction where the call of 'careful' had come from.

Wang Chong didn't have to go far before finding that person.

”It's you?!”

When he saw the man seated listlessly against the wall, his entire body a sickly green color, Wang Chong's brow rose in shock. That azure-robed man was none other than the renowned Young Master Qingyang of the martial arts world.

But while the Young Master Qingyang that had faced him was brimming with sharpness and confidence, the one before him was severely poisoned and not far from death's door.

”How could it be you?”

Young Master Qingyang opened his drooping eyelids and gazed at Wang Chong. His entire body was lacking in energy and his vitality was very low. He was clearly in very poor shape, but even so, when he saw Wang Chong standing before him, there was still a faint ripple of emotion in his eyes.

He and this 'Young Master Qingyang' seemed to share a connection with one another.

But not even Young Master Qingyang had imagined that they would meet again in a situation like this.

”Truly enemies meeting on a narrow road! If you're going to do it, just do it!”

As Young Master Qingyang spoke, he dropped his head. He clearly believed that Wang Chong wished to avenge the wrong that had been done to him.

But what was waiting for him was a pill.

Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Chong removed a pill of what seemed like white jade from his bosom and stuffed it into Young Master Qingyang's mouth.

”This is an antidote pill refined through secret methods in the palace. It costs three hundred thousand taels of gold for each one. It should be enough to temporarily suppress the poison in your body,” Wang Chong indifferently explained as he also took one of the pills.

The toxicity of these poison threads was far greater than he had imagined. Wang Chong felt that already half of his body had gone slightly numb. If he didn't think of a way to cure it, he truly might end up being rendered motionless.

Gulp! As expected of pills refined in the palace, after swallowing just a few pills, he immediately felt a significant amount of the poison in his body being neutralized.

”How are you here? Wasn't the Nightmare Beast in front of this? With your strength, you shouldn't have been able to get past there, right?” Wang Chong asked. As he spoke, he placed a palm on Young Master Qingyang's body and sent Stellar Energy flooding into his body to assist him in neutralizing the poison.

With Wang Chong's assistance, Young Master Qingyang's complexion truly did improve, and the green poison on his body began to rapidly recede. But he was still too weak and his energy reserves too shallow. It would take a few moments for the poison to be completely neutralized.

”I didn't think that I would run into you in a state like this! The Origin Immortal Art is known as the world's number one art, and this is the only time in the last several hundred years that it has appeared. Since I happened to be around, I couldn't miss out on such a grand occasion.

”But I didn't think that I would run into Darkshadow Spiders from ancient times down here. To protect me, Sword Dragon was captured by those spiders. If I didn't run into Young Master, I probably would have died here.”

Young Master Qingyang gave Wang Chong a complicated look. Some time ago, he and Wang Chong had been on the surface, competing to see which one got the right to live, but now, Wang Chong was saving his life.
