Chapter 141: Just a Small Poison

    ?

    It should be known that Nalan Jie was the Grand General of the Empire. The Nalan Clan and the Mu Clan, another of the three major clans, both held military power and had risen through warfare.

    In Xiao Yan''s memory, Nalan Jie had been a robust and imposing figure, broad-shouldered and strong, his voice resonant and spirited. It was a stark contrast to the frail old man lying at death''s door before him now.

    "Sigh, indeed. Searing Poison is something even an elite Dou Emperor wouldn''t dare to come into contact with carelessly. For the old master to have endured for so many years has already pushed him to his limits," Nalan Su sighed, shaking his head as he followed closely behind. In recent years, the Nalan Clan had searched throughout the entire Jia Ma Empire but failed to find any miraculous medicine to remove the Searing Poison.

    He then asked cautiously, "Virtuous nephew, do you see any hope for a cure?"

    "Bring me a basin of clean water. I need to draw some of the old master''s poisoned blood for examination," Xiao Yan said, his brows knitted tightly.

    "Master Gu He once said that using a Heavenly Flame to enter the body and burn away the Searing Poison could detoxify it..." Nalan Su said.

    Xiao Yan gave a meaningful smile and replied calmly, "It''s true that the Searing Poison fears Heavenly Flames. In theory, using a Heavenly Flame to enter the body to expel and incinerate the Searing Poison should work. But Gu He doesn''t possess a Heavenly Flame himself; he''s only read about them in ancient texts. How could he know the true terror of a Heavenly Flame?

    "If I directly use a Heavenly Flame to enter the body and something goes wrong..."

    Nalan Su was directly stunned. Xiao Yan''s expression and tone didn''t put Gu He in his eyes at all! He even didn''t believe what Gu He said!

    "If Senior Nalan were in good health, directly using the Heavenly Flame to detoxify him would indeed be feasible. But in his current extremely weakened state, the high temperature of the Heavenly Flame might burn him to death before the poison is expelled."

    !!!!!!

    When Xiao Yan had removed the seals for Hai Bodong and Yun Yun, both of them were in good health, with ample Dou Qi and vitality. Moreover, they were both Dou Emperors.

    But Nalan Jie was barely clinging to life. If the Nihility Devouring Flame entered his body, he might not withstand the intense heat of the Heavenly Flame before the poison was fully purged, potentially causing him to die on the spot.

    Soon, Xiao Yan completed his analysis of the poison. His time spent with the Little Fairy Doctor had greatly enhanced his understanding of poisons.

    Seeing how swiftly the black flame completely devoured the Searing Poison, he murmured, "Hmm, this Searing Poison isn''t actually that troublesome."

    !!!!! The Searing Poison isn''t troublesome??!!

    traces of it.

    The terrifying high temperature of the Nihility Devouring Flame caused beads of sweat to form on Nalan Jie''s face. His withered hands clenched tightly, blue veins bulging on his arms.

    Whoosh!! The entire bed suddenly burst into flames. One could only imagine how high Nalan Jie''s body temperature had risen to be able to ignite the bedding.

    "So this is a Heavenly Flame! What terrifying heat!" Nalan Su, who was merely at the Dou Spirit realm, couldn''t help but feel both shocked and terrified by the intense heat emanating

    from Nalan Jie''s body.

    The frightening nature of the Heavenly Flame, combined with Xiao Yan''s exceptional talent and abilities, left Nalan Su full of admiration.

    Although Nalan Su was an 8-star Dou Spirit close to reaching the 9-star stage and could easily defeat someone like Mo Cheng, he felt that he might not necessarily be able to triumph over

    Xiao Yan, who possessed a Heavenly Flame.

    ''Sigh, Yanran is likely to humiliate herself again.'' Nalan Su naturally knew about the three- year duel his daughter had agreed upon with Xiao Yan. But looking at the situation now, unless Nalan Yanran had some powerful trump card up her sleeve, she was bound to be

    defeated once more.

    After about twenty minutes, Xiao Yan finally retracted all the black flames.

    Nalan Jie''s body deflated like a punctured balloon. His pores rapidly released heat, returning his body to its original state as he gasped for breath.

    "Wait until his body temperature returns to normal before giving him water. I will refine a pill to rehydrate and restore his physical strength. By tomorrow, he should be able to resume normal activities and diet. If there are no signs of the Searing Poison reappearing after a week, then it has been completely eradicated," Xiao Yan stood up and quickly instructed the

    old steward.

    Nalan Su looked at Xiao Yan, who spoke so matter-of-factly, and asked in amazement, "It''s... it''s cleared just like that?"

    Not only Nalan Su, but even Nalan Jie was astounded. He clenched his fists, feeling the strength of a Dou King coursing through his body once more! His body had never felt so light

    and refreshed! It was as if even his old internal injuries had been devoured along with the

    poison. "Just a small poison. Twenty minutes is already slow."
