Cao Youcheng regretted it deeply, thinking that he had been blind to have followed Cao Zhengben's plan to scheme against the Chosen One. Wasn't that just asking for trouble from the King of the Underworld?
Cao Zhengben's face turned pale.
Originally, he had wanted to avenge his brother, but at this point, he finally understood that his brother had truly provoked someone he shouldn't have.
Since Zilin Ling was the Chosen One, those who followed the Chosen One would also receive the favor of the Heavenly Dao.
Those who dared to kill people blessed by destiny would inevitably suffer backlash from the Heavenly Dao, just like Cao Zhengyuan.
Fortunately, the two Grand Elders appeared in time, otherwise, not only would Cao Youwei, Cao Youcheng, and Cao Zhengben, who had schemed against Zilin Ling, have followed Cao Zhengyuan's footsteps, but the Cao family might have also paid a heavy price. It could have even led to the Cao family becoming history, just as Zilin Ling had said.
Cao Shaochen also smiled kindly, "As the Chosen One, why would you bother with these blind fools? Moreover, with the Chosen One appearing, the Great Tribulation of Azure will also arrive. Although these people from the Cao family are incompetent, they can still be considered a force."
"Could you perhaps put their transgressions today on account for now? When the Great Tribulation arrives, let them be the vanguards, charging into battle, as punishment for their mistakes today. What do you say?"
With Cao Shaoqing and Cao Shaochen having said so much, it would be unreasonable for Zilin Ling not to concede.
"Alright, since you two have said so, I can withdraw the Four Seas and Eight Desolations God Punishing Formation. However, the Cao family must show sincerity!"
"As I said before, all powerhouses at the Divine King realm and above must allow me to plant a soul imprint. For those below the Divine King realm, they must take the Hundred Days Intestinal Breaking Pill refined by President Rong, as a show of loyalty!" Zilin Ling said sternly.
Cao Shaochen frowned imperceptibly, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but Cao Shaoqing beat him to it, "Good, it's a deal!"
Then, Cao Shaoqing coldly addressed the over forty Divine Kings of the Cao family, including the Patriarch Cao Youwei, the Grand Elder Cao Youcheng, and the hunchbacked Cao Zhengben, "Everyone, immediately withdraw your soul defenses and allow Miss Zi to plant soul imprints. Do not resist, or you will be expelled from the Cao family and blacklisted throughout the Divine Remnant Continent!"
"Yes!"
The over forty Divine Kings of the Cao family had already been terrified by the Four Seas and Eight Desolations God Punishing Formation. Their minds were further unsettled by the term 'Chosen One.' Now, with Cao Shaoqing's command, they naturally dared not resist and opened up their minds.
Zilin Ling moved her mind, summoned the spirit of the Nine Spirits Ring, Elder Du, and the auspicious beast Bai Ze, and instructed them to manage the Four Seas and Eight Desolations God Punishing Formation.
As for herself, she split her soul, forming over forty soul imprints, which were then branded into the souls of the Cao family's Divine Kings.
However, while she was busy with this, she didn't notice Cao Shaoqing subtly raising his eyebrows the moment the auspicious beast Bai Ze appeared.
After all forty soul imprints were planted, Zilin Ling received a telepathic message from Bai Ze, "Be careful of those two old guys!"
Zilin Ling's lips curved slightly as she sent a message back to Bai Ze, "Don't worry, I'm wary of them!"
Then, spiritual energy surged from her hand, and she shot straight towards the top of the Four Seas and Eight Desolations God Punishing Formation, transforming into the shape of a medicinal herb.
Upon seeing this herb, the Cao family members exclaimed in unison, "Myriad Poison Grass!"
Indeed, the appearance of this poisonous grass was exactly like the Myriad Poison Grass that the cripple Li of the Poison Sect had searched for in several forbidden areas but only found one of on the Celestial Origin Continent.
Zilin Ling's current spiritual energy condensation of the Myriad Poison Grass pattern was precisely her signal to Rong Guang. The Su Dan Novel Network.
Rong Guang, who was located at one of the formation's feet of the Four Seas and Eight Desolations God Punishing Formation, showed a smile on his face when he saw Zilin Ling's signal.
He instructed Long'er, who was beside him, not to head towards Zilin Ling.
Soon, Rong Guang appeared before the Cao family members.
Accompanying him was a very large alchemy furnace.
The furnace contained seven thousand Hundred Days Intestinal Breaking Pills.
It turned out that after Zilin Ling learned the Cao family's background from Zhuang Xing, she had already obtained a Hundred Days Intestinal Breaking Pill from Rong Guang.
She sniffed the Hundred Days Intestinal Breaking Pill, and its components were analyzed with one hundred percent accuracy.
Afterward, she submerged her divine consciousness into the Goddess Hall for a moment, taught Huang Yi and Jiu Ji the refining method of the Hundred Days Intestinal Breaking Pill, and instructed them to refine it within the Goddess Hall themselves.
The tacit understanding between Huang Yi and Jiu Ji had been proven by time.
Following Zilin Ling's requirements, they relentlessly refined ten thousand Hundred Days Intestinal Breaking Pills.
To avoid exposing her identity as a poison master, Zilin Ling handed the ten thousand Hundred Days Intestinal Breaking Pills to Rong Guang and told him that these were for the cultivators below the Divine King realm of the Gou and Cao families, and that it was crucial to ensure everyone took them.
Rong Guang was genuinely shocked when he received the ten thousand Hundred Days Intestinal Breaking Pills.
The speed of this alchemy was simply more terrifying than all the poison masters in the entire Poison Master Association combined.
However, having grown accustomed to Zilin Ling's monstrous talent, he quickly accepted this fact.
Rong Guang looked at Zilin Ling, and she nodded.
Rong Guang understood. He cleared his throat, amplified his voice with spiritual energy, and declared, "All cultivators of the Emperor Realm, Minor God Realm, and Great God Realm of the Cao family, obey my command! Come out of the Cao family mansion and collect the Hundred Days Intestinal Breaking Pills from me. If even one person fails to collect them, I will directly release the eternal divine poison, 'Swaying Dance,' into the entire Cao family, and let all of you perish together!"
Swaying Dance!
Upon hearing these three words, Cao Shaoqing, Cao Shaochen, and the over forty Divine Kings of the Cao family all turned pale.
Their current cultivation was such that ordinary poisons could not even get close to them, let alone the toxins entering their bodies.
However, the Nine Ancient Divine Poisons were different. They could not only poison them but also kill them.
And Swaying Dance was the chief of the Nine Ancient Divine Poisons. Even those in the Divine Lord realm could not resist its toxin.
The two Grand Elders and the over forty Divine Kings' complexions changed drastically, let alone those cultivators whose cultivation was below the Divine King realm.
Although they were extremely reluctant to take the Hundred Days Intestinal Breaking Pill, they were even more unwilling to be tormented by the ancient divine poison, Swaying Dance. Therefore, they lined up obediently and walked out of the Cao family mansion to collect and consume the Hundred Days Intestinal Breaking Pills from Rong Guang.
Both Zilin Ling and Rong Guang were very satisfied with the performance of the Cao family members.
Rong Guang smiled and said, "The Hundred Days Intestinal Breaking Pill will only take effect after one hundred days. However, please rest assured, before it takes effect, I will distribute a batch of pills to delay the onset of the Hundred Days Intestinal Breaking Pill."
"When the time comes and you have completed your tasks, I will naturally give you the antidote and completely detoxify you. But until then, anyone who dares to have second thoughts, then you will truly experience the taste of the Hundred Days Intestinal Breaking Pill!"
