Chapter 721 - Qinji Poison (1/2)

When they heard about the poison in the tea, the faces of the masters from the other six great families immediately darkened. They were not sure if there was also poison in their tea.

“Don’t be nervous everyone. He does not have the guts to poison all of you.” Qin Haodong picked up his teacup and twisted it with both hands. The base of the delicate porcelain teacup came off.

He raised the base of the cup in his hand and said, “This kind of cup is called the Immortal Cup, which is used specially to poison people. There are a few small holes drilled in the base, but they are all smeared with special wax oil, so they are not visible to the naked eye.”

“When he wants to poison someone, he only needs to put the poison in the base and then give it to that person. When the tea is poured, because the poison did not overflow, that person will not be able to find the source no matter how alert he is.

“But as time goes by, the person’s vigilance would be gradually relaxed. At this time, after the wax melts in the heat and the poison keeps seeping out, this will turn the original tea into a cup of deadly poisonous tea.”

“So don’t worry, everyone. This poison can only be found in my cup. You are all safe.”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. This was such a poisonous artifact which was really ingenious.

Some people picked up the cups in their hands to try, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not twist the base off. Only when they were sure that they were not being poisoned did they relax.

In fact, they were too worried. If they had indeed been poisoned, their bodies would have reacted a long time ago. After all, they did not have Qin Haodong’s immune body.

On the other side, Chu Shanhe had completely sunk into a heap and there was no joy on his face. If the previous contradiction could be resolved, then now they were completely on the opposite side of the Tang Sect.

From another perspective, if someone poisoned him, he would never spare that guy. He did not expect that this joyous occasion of his birthday would be ruined like this by these two fools.

After Qin Haodong was done highlighting how the Immortal Cup worked, he said to Chu Xuanming, “What do you think, Mr. Chu? Am I right?”

Seeing that Qin Haodong was not affected by the poison, Chu Xuanming’s last trump card had been used up. He was no longer as calm as before. His face was pale.

“Haodong, I was wrong. I was really wrong this time. For my sake, being your uncle, please forgive me.” Chu Xuanming no longer cared about his status and face. He knelt and kowtowed to Qin Haodong, begging for mercy.

Then he begged Chu Xuanyue who was next to him, “Sister, please help me to say something. I am your brother.”

Chu Xuanyue directly turned her face aside. At this time, her face was also very gloomy. If it was something else, she could still help put in a good word for him, but it was unforgivable of him to try and poison her son.

Seeing that his sister ignored him, he turned back and begged Qin Haodong again.

Of course, Qin Haodong was not fooled by his piteous act. This kind of person was like a viper. If you let him go today, he would bite you tomorrow.

“Tell me, what kind of poison did you use to poison me? What’s the purpose?”

While speaking, he directly used the Mind-manipulating ability.

“This kind of poison is called Qianji Poison. After it enters the bloodstream, it will switch from one location to another every two hours. There is no cure for it at all.”

“If one can’t get the antidote within 24 hours, all the places where the poison has flowed into will break down and eventually he would die because the body will start decaying.”

“It’s too barbarous. I can’t believe there’s such a vile type of poison…”

“If it switches its location every two hours, how can it be detoxified?”

“He poisoned his nephew. Is he still a human being? He’s so hateful.”

Under the control of the Mind-manipulating skill, Chu Xuanming did not care about other people’s accusations. He continued, “Even if you get the antidote, you can’t get rid of all the poison. It can only relieve the toxin temporarily.”

“The purpose of my poisoning you is to have control over your life. In future, you will obey my orders.”

Hearing this, many people who had kept quiet earlier started a noisy discussion about this.

If he could use the poison to control Qin Haodong, it was equivalent to controlling the whole Tang Sect. Now the Tang Sect dominated the whole capital, so controlling the Tang Sect was equivalent to dominating the capital. This just showed how ambitious Chu Xuanming was.

At the same time, everyone also understood why Chu Xuanming took the risk. It turned out that he had a very big goal in sight.

Qin Haodong asked again, “Since you have found such a rare poison, why are you still playing those dirty tricks on me?”

Chu Xuanming was like an obedient baby, answering every question he was asked. “I know you’re a tough person to deal with, so I’ve to come up with a lot of ideas. At least they can distract your attention and make sure the poison works.”

At this time, the masters from the Seven Great Families finally understood that Chu Xuanming was not stupid, but too shrewd.

At the same time, a deep fear of Qin Haodong rose in their hearts. Chu Xuanming could not even get rid of him by using such a vicious strategy, which showed how difficult it was to deal with Qin Haodong.

Qin Haodong continued to ask, “It’s impossible for ordinary people to make this poison. Where did you get it?”

Chu Xuanming said, “My son, Chu Mingcong, bought it from a woman named Qian Meihui. That woman is still hiding in his room.”

Chu Mingcong had been hiding behind the crowd. He had thought that his father would never betray him. He did not know that Qin Haodong had such a magical skill as Mind-manipulating.

Now when he heard his name being mentioned, he turned his head and was about to run, but Chu Mingli, who was standing next to him, kicked him and then hauled him by his collar and threw him in front of Qin Haodong.
