CHAPTER 604: 604 DARES TO ASSASSINATE KING HAORAN!

"Of course, I am the Dragon Guiding Tree Spirit. There isn’t a deadly poison in this world that I cannot neutralize!"

Little Dragon’s voice brimmed with heavy confidence. After speaking, it seemed to point out deliberately: "Moreover, my detoxifying ability is much stronger than some others."

"Hey hey hey, Little Dragon, you are the Dragon Guiding Tree Spirit, why would you obey a mere human boy?"

For some reason, the Golden Snake Worm could also hear the soul communication between Little Dragon and Yun Xiao. Its snake eyes flashed with a glint of light, speaking somewhat irritably.

"You don’t know a thing, he is my daddy. If I don’t help him, should I help you instead?"

Unexpectedly, just as the Golden Snake Worm’s words fell, Little Dragon’s disdainful voice came instantly, causing it great embarrassment. This Dragon Guiding Tree really had become spirited, it even knew how to scold people.

"Ha ha!"

Listening to their bickering, Yun Xiao felt delighted. Finally, there was someone who could handle the Golden Snake Worm, especially since it was the greatly-valued Dragon Guiding Tree Spirit. Now, let’s see how arrogant that guy can be?

"Ah, as the father, so is the son. Little Dragon, you’ve learned badly!"

After the embarrassment, the Golden Snake Worm seemed really unable to do anything about Little Dragon. It sighed helplessly, quite disappointed.

"It’s my will, can you control it?"

Facing the Golden Snake Worm, Little Dragon’s tone was always not very nice. After saying this, he turned to communicate with Yun Xiao’s soul: "Daddy, I’m about to make a move, act accordingly!"

Yun Xiao got the hint, immediately extending his left hand and placing it on Xuan Haoran’s other wrist, then an aura containing extremely strong life force burst from his body.

This aura was not from Yun Xiao’s Wood Attribute Ancestor Vein in his left leg, but the power of the Dragon Guiding Tree. Of course, on the Hidden Dragon Continent, even the Earth-rank Meridian Master, Ran Xing, did not know about the existence of this divine object.

"What’s going on?"

Although Ran Xing and Jiuding could not sense the Dragon Guiding Tree’s aura, they could feel the changes in Xuan Haoran’s body. It seemed as if, with the emergence of Yun Xiao’s aura, Xuan Haoran’s breathing became much heavier.

You should know, previously, no matter what methods those Meridian Masters used, Xuan Haoran showed no change at all, at most only drawing out the toxicity of Spirit Corrosive Binding Fragrance, making themselves miserable.

But now, that rich life aura from Yun Xiao struck, and Xuan Haoran actually showed noticeable changes. This was not only discerned by Ran Xing and Jiuding, but also sensed by other Meridian Masters there.

"Could it be that Sect Master Yan can really resolve the deadly poison inflicted by the former King?"

After the initial trial, everyone indeed knew Xuan Haoran was poisoned, and now the situation seemed to be enlightening them about some issues.

With such a turn of events, Ran Xing’s eyes, which were only slightly opening and closing before, now widened, glittering with brilliance, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

"Old man, you indeed have some skills!"

At this moment, sensing that his Spirit Corrosive Binding Fragrance poison was being gradually devoured, Ran Xing had to acknowledge that this Sect Master from Yinfeng Sect, Yan, still had some means.

But with his presence here, even if this Spiritual Rank Advanced Meridian Master had capabilities, how could he possibly succeed? Just then, Ran Xing’s right hand, hidden beneath his black sleeve, pinched a seal and then suddenly changed.

"What’s going on?"

No one saw the change in Ran Xing’s handprint, but at that moment, they were shocked to see Xuan Haoran, who had been motionless on the bed, suddenly start convulsing violently, as if he could die at any moment.

"Damn old man!"

The onlookers didn’t know what was happening, but Yun Xiao, who was detoxifying Xuan Haoran, cursed inwardly, knowing it was Ran Xing, the poisoner, secretly employing harmful methods again.

You should know, currently only Yun Xiao had touched Xuan Haoran. If not for Ran Xing, the poisoner of Spirit Corrosive Binding Fragrance, who else could intensify the poison from such a distance?

Indeed, under Ran Xing’s manipulations, the Spirit Corrosive Binding Fragrance in Xuan Haoran’s body suddenly intensified. If not for Little Dragon continually absorbing and neutralizing it, it might have claimed his life in an instant.

"Little Dragon, can you hold on?"

With such intensified poisoning, Yun Xiao started worrying about Little Dragon, who had just recently developed Spiritual Wisdom and transformed into human form. If it was due to the Earth Rank poison putting him in peril, he would rather give up on treating Xuan Haoran first.

"Daddy, don’t worry, this bit of Earth Rank poison can’t even harm one of my leaves!"

The voice of Little Dragon, slightly smug, reached Yun Xiao’s ears, and he finally relaxed while giving a self-mocking chuckle, thinking to himself that Little Dragon was the Dragon Summoning Tree Spirit, probably many times stronger than his human body.

"Hmm?"

While Yun Xiao and Little Dragon were conversing souls, Ran Xing, who was performing his actions, no longer maintained his calm composure. Seeing him suddenly standing up startled everyone around.

The recent turn of events led the crowd to speculate that the Sect Master of Yinfeng Sect might have found some way to possibly heal Haoran.

But Ran Xing’s actions were puzzling, making people wonder if the sect’s methods were effective and he was not pleased? Those with sharp thoughts sensed something more in his agitated gaze.

Ran Xing’s behavior was quite unusual, as if he was counteracting the Sect. Each of Haoran’s shudders correlated with the Sect Master’s maneuvers, clearly indicating something was amiss.

"Could it... really be impossible?"

As this thought flickered through many minds, their steps involuntarily edged towards the hall’s door, realizing they might have been dragged into a royal internal struggle.

Leaving aside the concerns of the observing Meridian Masters, Xuan Jiuding also appeared rather troubled. Despite all his calculations, he had not anticipated that a Sect Master from Yinfeng Sect would genuinely possess a method to neutralize the lethal Spirit Corrosive Binding Fragrance.

Moreover, the Sect’s technique seemed to catch even Ran Xing off-guard, otherwise this Earth Rank Low Level Meridian Refining Master would not have lost his composure so drastically.

Regrettably, Yun Xiao’s hidden capabilities would remain unknown to others. No matter how Ran Xing intensified the toxicity of Spirit Corrosive Binding Fragrance within Haoran’s body, Yun Xiao’s pace of neutralizing the poison did not slow even slightly.

"We cannot let this continue!"

Failing various approaches, Ran Xing finally realized this so-called Sect Master might have some unknown techniques, and he swiftly made a decision.

"How audacious, daring to covertly harm King Haoran, what punishment should be meted out?"

As everyone pondered over the interactions between the Sect Master and Haoran, a fierce shout suddenly erupted from Ran Xing, making everyone shudder, completely baffled by his accusation.

"Sect Master, aren’t you releasing yet? Do you intend to antagonize the entire Xuanyue Royal Family?"

The astute Xuan Jiuding instantly grasped Ran Xing’s implication, agreeing with a stern face, his voice dense with a threatening undertone.

With Ran Xing’s actions and words, Xuan Jiuding realized he had misjudged the situation today; the Sect Master of Yinfeng Sect truly had a way to dispel the Spirit Corrosive Binding Fragrance, truly beyond his expectations.

However, here in Xuanyue Palace, with Haoran yet to regain consciousness, and having powerful Ran Xing of Earth Rank level present, Xuan Jiuding doubted the Sect Master could cause any real trouble.

"Sect Master, if anything happens to my Emperor Father, I, Xuanyue Royal Family, will relentlessly pursue Yinfeng Sect to the death!"

Seeing the Sect Master had no intention to stop, in his urgency, Xuan Jiuding could no longer hold back. After his fierce shout, he directly called out, "Mr. Ran Xing, please take action and kill this felon who dared to covertly harm my Emperor Father!"

His plan disrupted, how could Xuan Jiuding be in a good mood? Now he needed to portray the Sect Master as sabotaging Haoran under the guise of treatment.

Xuan Jiuding believed, by ensuring the Sect Master’s death here today, no one present would dare defy his will afterward, suspicions aside, for the sake of their own families and sects.

"You ignorant fool, release now!"

Even without Xuan Jiuding’s command, Ran Xing would not stand idly by. Hearing his loud shout, he immediately lunged towards Yun Xiao’s nape.

What Ran Xing didn’t see, however, was a mocking gleam passing through Yun Xiao’s eyes just as he moved; suddenly, an invisible mist sprayed out from Haoran’s right wrist.

"Not good!"

Ran Xing was taken aback, for he was all too familiar with this invisible mist - it was the very Spirit Corrosive Binding Fragrance he used to leave Haoran in this condition.

But what baffled Ran Xing was why the once absorbed Poisonous Incense by Haoran’s meridians and flesh had reverted to its original form, making it extremely troublesome even with an antidote.

Sigh...

Almost reflexively, Ran Xing slightly dodged to the left, the invisible mist missing him by a whisker, ultimately not inflicting any harm.

But, Ran Xing forgetting that it was a mist, unavoidable upon inhaling.

"Damn it!"

Thus, just having sidestepped, Ran Xing already smelled a faint scent, swearing under his breath as his body became somewhat limp in that moment.
