Demonic Calamity Across the Heavens: Starting with Little Li's Flying Dagger

Chapter 30 Yin-Yang Reversal Powder: Then You've Killed the Wrong Person

"Your poison..."

After Wei Wu took You Longsheng's pulse, he tried to suppress a laugh, but it was obvious to everyone that he was having a hard time holding it in.

So he shook his head.

Upon seeing Wei Wu shake his head, You Longsheng's face turned deathly pale, his mind went blank, and he opened his mouth as if a surge of hot blood was bursting from his chest, flowing through his veins, and coursing through his entire body, even making his ears ring. He turned as red as a boiled shrimp from head to toe.

"I, I..."

You Longsheng knelt on the ground, his legs tightly clenched together. His curled-up posture finally alerted Xue Yingzi, who immediately leaped down from the roof. "What happened?"

His pupils constricted sharply, and his voice suddenly became urgent: "Could it be that the Five Poison Child poisoned Sheng'er?"

Xue Yingzi immediately looked at Wei Wu, cupped his hands and said, "Smiling... Mr. Wei, since this is a duel between you and the Five Poison Child, could you possibly detoxify my disciple?"

He had intended to respectfully address Wei Wu by his nickname "The Unpredictable Smile," but as soon as he began, he saw Wei Wu's gloomy gaze and immediately changed his words, his voice lacking confidence.

You Longsheng looked at Wei Wu pitifully.

The martial arts practitioners nearby gathered around.

Wei Wu, no longer intending to keep him in suspense, immediately said, "What he was given wasn't poison, but some kind of rare aphrodisiac."

In the past, the Demonic Sect's King of Love and Desire once roamed the world with an aphrodisiac called "Yin-Yang Reversal Powder." If one did not feel passion after taking it, one would be no different from an ordinary person. However, once one's desire was aroused, one would immediately reverse Yin and Yang, making men like men and women like women.

Because these aphrodisiacs are colorless, odorless, and difficult to detect, many renowned figures in the martial arts world were initially ambushed and disgraced. As a result, the King of Love and Desire gained leverage over them, forcing them to work for the demonic sect.

Later, the poison was exposed, and the King of Lust was publicly killed. All the incriminating evidence he possessed was destroyed, and even the aphrodisiac was completely eradicated.

Hearing this, Xue Yingzi could see Wei Wu's confidence and breathed a sigh of relief. Then, a look of schadenfreude crossed her eyes. "Since the medicine has been destroyed, how could Sheng'er have planted it?"

"Although the King of Love and Desire is dead, he left behind endless troubles because he still had disciples. After his death, his disciples were captured by several masters of poison and successfully replicated this medicine."

Upon hearing this, Xin Jian frowned deeply, pounded the ground with his staff, raised one hand to his chest, and sighed with a bowed head, "Amitabha! How many people would be harmed if this vicious medicine remained in the world? Those who replicated it are truly heartless!"

Wei Wu's expression grew increasingly strange. He said, "This medicine was originally replicated under the leadership of your Shaolin Temple. How could you not know that?"

Xin Jian suddenly raised her head, her wide eyes filled with confusion: "Huh?"

Wei Wu recalled the records in the Lianhua Baojian and said speechlessly, "In your eyes, this poison can only be used to harm people, but in the eyes of some people, it is a life-saving remedy."

"Unlike the abbots and senior monks, the young monks of Shaolin Temple cannot leave the temple in their spare time, so they can only find ways among themselves. Perhaps it is to make the monks in the temple more serious that they took the lead in doing this."

Furthermore, many families in the martial arts world have few offspring, and their children often have homosexual tendencies. In order to continue the family line and make their only son normal, they naturally have a need for this kind of medicine.

Of course, it's not a black-and-white issue.

When Xin Jian heard the first part, he had a look of realization, but when he heard the second part, his face instantly burned with rage. He raised his staff in anger, as if to strike.

"Junior brother!"

Xinmei called out loudly before stopping Xinjian, then stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Forgive my ignorance, but after so many years in the temple, I never knew there was such a medicine. I must thank Mr. Wei for explaining the origin and history of this medicine to us."

Wei Wu smiled and took out a pill, tossing it to You Longsheng, saying, "Many people have been drugged by this aphrodisiac. Dissolve this pill in water, and each of you should drink a cup of it to avoid unknowingly falling for it."

The group of martial arts practitioners initially thought that Wei Wu's words were somewhat alarmist. They were all martial arts practitioners; how could they not know whether they had been poisoned or not?

However, a few people panicked when they noticed that their gazes no longer held the same amazement when they looked at Lin Xian'er. They quickly stepped forward and asked for a bowl of medicine. Regardless of whether they were poisoned or not, drinking some antidote in advance was not a difficult thing to do.

Seeing that everyone had taken the medicine, Wei Wu's smile deepened. He glanced at the sky and said, "I made a three-day agreement with the Five Poison Child. Today is the first day. There's no need to travel too slowly; just rest a bit more."

Xinmei hesitated for a moment, but kept quiet and did not refute.

After tidying up for a while, the group left the courtyard and saw two skeletons lying on the snow under a tree not far away. The remaining flesh on the skeletons was black, and even the bones were black, while the snow beneath them was clean.

"This must be the person who blew the whistle to arouse the ecstasy bugs yesterday."

Qin Zhong sighed, but his gaze fell on Wei Wu.

Clearly, the unfinished sentence he was referring to was "Du Yueming is another skeleton."

"If you have something to say, just say it out loud. Do you think I'm going to kill you?"

Wei Wu was extremely perceptive and immediately noticed the hostility in Qin Zhong's eyes. He sneered, "Don't you ever think about why your master and the others don't say anything, but only you do?"

"Have the Shaolin monks gone bald, or lost their brains too? They simply know there's something fishy going on here."

Something fishy is going on?

Qin Chong looked at his master, only to see Master Xinmei shake her head and follow behind Wei Wu. After Wei Wu and Lin Xian'er got into the carriage, You Longsheng offered to drive for them.

However, the horses that the martial arts practitioners had brought here had already been poisoned to death by the Five Poisons Child, so they could only rely on their lightness skills to follow behind the carriage.

At this moment, Xin Jian explained to Qin Zhong:

"Although Du Yueming is young, he is a seasoned veteran. However, his actions yesterday were rash and impulsive. He clearly deliberately knocked that poisonous man down and then urged Wei Wu to leave."

It's most likely related to the Five Poison Boys.

"Most likely? What if we killed the wrong person..."

"Then the wrong person was killed."

Xin Jian's face showed no trace of the fierce yet compassionate expression; his eyes were filled with indifference as he spoke in a relaxed tone:

"Who would stand up for a dead man?"

"There seem to be quite a few people like that in the martial arts world, but in reality, most of them are just putting on an act. And here, there isn't a single one."

Xin Jian deliberately lowered his voice, but because he had practiced the Lion's Roar technique, even though he subconsciously lowered his voice, everyone around him could still hear him clearly.

Amidst the flying snow, people's hearts were divided.
