"Little brother, then hurry and think of a way!"
Hearing Dongfang Mingyue's voice, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and then said, "Ling'er, Senior Changfeng, I am Ye Cangtian, please stop the formation!"
Although his voice was not very loud, it carried a trace of spiritual energy, enough to spread throughout the entire Sword Tomb.
Huh?
The next moment, the two became confused. As the voice fell, the formation did not stop, and countless flying swords continued to attack them.
Moreover, they received no response.
While dodging, the two couldn't help but look at each other. Could it be that Dugu Ling and Dugu Changfeng were not here?
Just as this thought arose, Ye Cangtian sensed a figure slowly appearing in his perception.
Through the dense flying swords, Ye Cangtian saw the other party's appearance.
The other party was a girl, wearing a white dress, looking delicate and charming. However, her face was filled with grief. Was it not Dugu Ling!
"Ling'er, it's us!"
As Ye Cangtian's voice fell again, the thousands of flying swords instantly stopped and then flew in all directions.
Only then, with no more sword attacks, did Ye Cangtian and Dongfang Mingyue clearly see the scene inside the Sword Tomb.
As far as the eye could see, there were dense swords everywhere, all sorts of them, stuck haphazardly in various corners.
And in the middle of these swords, there was a small path leading directly to a manor in the distance. Within the manor, there was an immeasurably large stone sword that seemed to connect to the sky.
"Brother Ye, Sister Mingyue, it's really you..."
At this moment, Dugu Ling's trembling voice came, and in a blink of an eye, she flew over.
She directly pounced into Ye Cangtian's arms and cried, venting her grief and indignation...
Seeing Dugu Ling's tear-streaked and sorrowful expression, Ye Cangtian felt extremely pained.
As he stroked Dugu Ling's hair, he looked at Dongfang Mingyue for help, as he was truly not good at comforting crying women.
Seeing this, Dongfang Mingyue stepped forward and gently wiped away Dugu Ling's tears.
"Don't cry, Ling'er. Sister and Brother Ye have come, no one can bully you anymore..."
With Dongfang Mingyue's heartwarming comfort, Dugu Ling finally controlled her tears.
She looked at the two and quickly said, "Brother Ye, Sister Mingyue, let's go back and talk. This place might not be safe. We must keep the great formation active at all times to feel secure..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian's expression darkened.
With just a sentence, he had already imagined the dire situation of the Dugu family.
Thinking about it, he looked at Dugu Ling and slowly said, "Ling'er, listen to me. You don't need to open the great formation today. With me here, no one can harm you!"
Ye Cangtian's heart was filled with killing intent. If the Five Poisons Sect came today, then so be it. He might as well destroy them and resolve the Dugu family's crisis.
Listening to Ye Cangtian's words, Dugu Ling hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded. She still trusted Ye Cangtian and Dongfang Mingyue.
Not long after, led by Dugu Ling, Ye Cangtian and the two arrived at the manor.
As soon as they entered the manor, they smelled the faint scent of herbs in the air.
Then, what caught their eyes were steaming clay pots, where medicinal herbs were being simmered. Some busy figures were shuttling through different rooms of the manor.
The Dugu family was also a reclusive family. They had lived in the mountains and wilderness for years, so they naturally recognized some herbs and knew some rudimentary medical skills.
"Ling'er, where is Senior Changfeng?"
As Ye Cangtian's voice sounded, Dugu Ling's eyes dimmed slightly.
After a moment, she pointed to a main room at the front of the manor and said, "Follow me. Father is there, but he's heavily injured..."
Saying this, Dugu Ling led the two into Dugu Changfeng's room.
Inside the room, a disciple of the Dugu family was constantly monitoring Dugu Changfeng's condition. At Dugu Ling's signal, the disciple quickly withdrew from the room.
Meanwhile, Ye Cangtian had already approached Dugu Changfeng.
At this moment, Dugu Changfeng's eyes were tightly closed, and he was in a coma. Judging from the bandages wrapped around him, his injuries were severe.
The bandages were covered in bloodstains, densely packed and chilling to the bone. Yet, none of these wounds were to vital areas.
This showed that the other party did not intend to take his life easily, but rather planned to torture him to death bit by bit!
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian clenched his fists in anger, making a clanging sound.
To be able to take a life, yet choose to consume it slowly and torture Dugu Changfeng to death, this was utterly inhumane!
Thinking about it, Ye Cangtian turned to Dugu Ling and asked, "Ling'er, what exactly happened?"
Hearing this, Dugu Ling quickly began to explain.
Since Ye Cangtian had once again annihilated the Five Poisons Sect last time, the Five Poisons Sect had not given up and had retaliated again and again.
Fortunately, the Dugu family had the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir provided by Ye Cangtian, which caused many disciples to make rapid progress in their cultivation, allowing the Dugu family to overcome crises time and again.
However, they still underestimated the ruthlessness of the Five Poisons Sect. The Five Poisons Sect's revenge became increasingly frantic, and the people they sent were also of increasingly higher cultivation.
This time, the Five Poisons Sect not only sent an elder but also brought a monster.
The monster's cultivation was undetectable, but its combat power was extremely high, and it was covered in corpse poison. Ordinary swords could hardly damage it...
It was under the monster's attack that Dugu Changfeng finally couldn't resist, was covered in wounds by the monster, and his life hung by a thread.
Ultimately, Dugu Ling had no choice but to lead the disciples of the Dugu family to hide in this Sword Tomb.
Fortunately, the Sword Tomb had the Myriad Swords Killing Array, which finally forced the Five Poisons Sect to retreat completely...
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian frowned.
The monster Dugu Ling mentioned should be a poisonous corpse, and the one that could injure Dugu Changfeng should be the Poisonous Corpse King he encountered before.
Thinking about it, Ye Cangtian looked at the other party and asked, "By the way, the Dugu family was retaliated against by the Five Poisons Sect, why didn't you seek help from the Hidden Organization?"
"Initially, there was indeed no need."
"The people sent by the Five Poisons Sect were not very strong, and the Dugu family managed to hold on."
"It was only when the Five Poisons Sect sent that monster that the Dugu family felt truly powerless. By then, it was too late to seek help."
"Later, the Five Poisons Sect poisoned the surroundings, effectively sealing us in the Sword Tomb..."
If it weren't for the three antidote pills they happened to have on them, even the bodies of the Dugu family disciples would have gone unmanaged.
Moreover, even with the antidote pills, those three disciples were severely poisoned and had no choice but to retreat into the Sword Tomb, unable to seek help from anyone.
Ye Cangtian's expression became even more grim. The poison of the Five Poisons Sect was indeed not to be underestimated.
The next moment, he quickly pressed Dongfang Mingyue's wrist and infused a stream of spiritual energy to check.
After a moment, his expression softened. The antidote pills refined by Yao Bao'er were more effective than those of the Dugu family.
At least Dongfang Mingyue's body showed no signs of poisoning.
"Brother Ye, quickly take a look, my father he..."
At this moment, Dugu Ling's anxious voice sounded. Turning to look, Dugu Changfeng, who was unconscious, suddenly had a trickle of black blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian didn't say a word and quickly pressed Dugu Changfeng's wrist, also starting to investigate.
Gradually, Ye Cangtian's expression became increasingly unsightly.
Apart from his heart meridian, Dugu Changfeng's body was filled with toxins.
And the trickle of blood that had just emerged was caused by the toxins beginning to attack his heart meridian.
Thinking of this, Ye Cangtian didn't say another word. He immediately took out a Nine Heavens Life-Sustaining Pill and directly stuffed it into Dugu Changfeng's mouth.
Immediately after, Ye Cangtian activated his devouring ability and began to madly devour the toxins.
Seeing Dugu Changfeng's pained expression relax a little, Dugu Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, to prevent Dugu Ling from worrying, Dongfang Mingyue quickly began to divert Dugu Ling's attention, "Sister Ling'er, the Five Poisons Sect hasn't retreated yet. How often do they come?"
"They come quite frequently! Just like today, they came once!"
"However, the people they send are very few, usually just one person."
"Their purpose is generally to check the situation in the Sword Tomb, see if the formation has stopped, and then replenish some poisons, that's all..."
Listening to the other party's inquiry, Dugu Ling quickly replied.
As she spoke, she seemed to recall something and quickly added, "That's right, now that the great formation has stopped, I estimate they will discover it by tomorrow at the latest, and then they will definitely launch a large-scale attack..."
