"Who did this?"
Zhan Luan's face changed dramatically. He hastily called over the soldiers, ordering them to dispose of the dish imdiately, and then also commanded them to capture the soldiers who delivered the food and the chefs.
Seeing Zhan Luan's series of actions, Duan Gujin's brows knitted tightly together as a thought flashed through his mind.
"I think that Zhan Luan probably wouldn't resort to poisoning to kill , and he has absolutely no need to do so. If he found displeasing, he could have handled it much more domineeringly! With his cultivation as a Demon Saint, he wouldn't need to employ such despicable thods like poisoning. There's only one possibility then; soone from the Devil Clan wants to make a move against him!"
"Father, we should throw away all these dishes. I worry that all of them are poisoned!"
Miao Yu pointed to the pile of food on the table.
"Good! Throw them all away!"
Zhan Luan quickly signaled a subordinate to remove and dispose of all the food on the table.
Duan Gujin spoke indifferently, "Uncle, do you have any enemies?"
Zhan Luan snorted coldly and replied, "I have many enemies. Here in the Hundred Saints Mountain, overt and covert struggles are routine. Why is it that as soon as you arrived, my food started being poisoned?"
Duan Gujin sighed and said, "The strong poison in that dish earlier is called Mandala Poison Flower. It's a type of slow-acting poison. It won't kill you instantly. Instead, it will gradually damage your ridians and internal organs. Once a sufficient amount of poison has accumulated inside your body, it will take imdiate effect. The mont it does, you'll die instantly!"
Upon hearing this, Miao Yu and Zhan Luan instantly gasped in shock, quickly channeling their demonic power to examine their bodies internally.
But after a while, they still didn't find any symptoms of poisoning.
"I didn't find any signs of poison within my body!"
Zhan Luan declared.
Duan Gujin said, "Please, uncle, allow to examine you."
"Okay!"
Zhan Luan imdiately agreed. He sat upright in a chair and stretched out his right hand, allowing Duan Gujin to check him.
Duan Gujin grasped his wrist with his right hand and used his Divine Sense to internally examine Zhan Luan's body.
After a while, he found so tiny red substances in Zhan Luan's internal organs, indicating that Zhan Luan was indeed poisoned.
He checked Zhan Luan's internal organs and after a mont, confird that Zhan Luan was already in the late stages of poisoning.
"Uncle, you've been poisoned for quite so ti now, and it's already in the late stages!"
Duan Gujin declared.
Hearing Duan Gujin's words made Miao Yu imdiately anxious.
"Duan Gujin, you must find a way to save my father! He is your father too! You can't just stand by and watch him die!"
Upon hearing this, a black line appeared on Duan Gujin's forehead.
Of course, he was very clear about what Miao Yu ant by "He is your father too," but where did he stand with Miao Yu in that kind of relationship?
"Uncle, rest assured, I will do my best to save you!"
Duan Gujin's mind raced. He was very clear that the Mandala Poison Flower was extrely precious; its flower was poisonous, but its root was a supre type of Spiritual dicine.
Many Advanced Detoxification Pill Formulas would use the root of the Mandala Poison Flower as a key ingredient.
In fact, the Mandala Poison Flower is a very special type of extre poison, mainly corroding the internal organs of living creatures, a process that requires at least several decades to take place.
This ans that, over the past several decades, even a hundred years, the one who poisoned would have been administering poison to Zhan Luan.
Zhan Luan was completely unaware that he had been poisoned, which might have sothing to do with his physique.
Zhan Luan's current status as a Demon Saint ant he was well able to resist the intense invasion of the Mandala Poison Flower.
Yet, the poisoner kept dosing him, and over the years, he eventually succumbed to the poison.
Moreover, the Mandala Poison Flower has a very distinct characteristic; once it successfully invades the body, only by ingesting an Elixir Pills made from its root can Zhan Luan purge the deadly toxin from his system.
Otherwise, even if he expended all his Demon Energy, he would still be unable to expel the severe poison from his body.
For Duan Gujin, to cure Zhan Luan of the intense poison in his body, he needed the Mandala Poison Flower's root as a herbal prir.
"The Mandala Poison Flower only grows in regions filled with dense Demon Energy, typically areas where high-ranking mbers of the Devil Clan are active. It seems that the person who poisoned Zhan Luan is very aware of the Mandala Poison Flower's characteristics!"
"Duan Gujin, is my father's poisoning severe?"
Miao Yu asked anxiously.
"It's quite severe. In another decade or so, your father might succumb to the poison and die!"
Duan Gujin replied.
Hearing this, both Miao Yu and Zhan Luan simultaneously inhaled sharply.
"My God! So I have been poisoned for a long ti, no wonder I sotis feel extrely uncomfortable! Please quickly check my daughter, see if she is poisoned too!"
Zhan Luan grabbed Miao Yu's hand and urged Duan Gujin to examine her.
After Duan Gujin used his Divine Sense to conduct an inner inspection, he sighed after a while.
"Miao Yu, you are poisoned as well, but fortunately, the poisoning is not severe; you've only been poisoned for about five to six years!"
Zhan Luan beca furiously enraged, "Duan Gujin, can you find out who poisoned us?"
Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, saying, "Please Uncle, first capture all the Devil Clan mbers who have entered the kitchen, then have them reenact the process of cooking for you!"
"Okay! I will follow your instruction completely!"
Zhan Luan imdiately called his subordinates to capture all the Devil Clan mbers who worked in the kitchen.
However, a mont later, a subordinate rushed in frantically and imdiately reported upon seeing Zhan Luan: "City Lord, there's trouble! Just now, one of the Devil Clan mbers killed five of our subordinates and broke out!"
"A bunch of trash!"
Upon hearing the subordinate's words, Zhan Luan instantly flew into a towering rage, his Qi exploded with fury as he imdiately realized that the Devil Clan mber who killed his subordinates was most likely the poisoner. He released his Divine Sense instantly to scan his surroundings.
After a short while, he detected a figure speeding towards the outside of the castle, and he imdiately understood that this figure was the poisoner who had killed his subordinates and fled.
His body flashed and transford into a streak of light as he dashed out.
Seeing her father rush out, Miao Yu also charged out after him.
Duan Gujin touched his nose, his eyes flashing as he followed Miao Yu.
He released his Divine Sense and quickly detected Zhan Luan sprinting towards the outside of the castle.
"Miao Yu, do you think we should follow?"
Duan Gujin was very clear in his mind that Zhan Luan's strength was far superior to theirs—he was a Demon Saint.
If even Zhan Luan was unable to handle that Devil Clan mber, what could he and Miao Yu use to confront that Devil Clan?
Miao Yu exhaled deeply, swiftly calming down.
