Chapter 122 Xia Yuqing Is Angry
" Wh- What?"
Ling Yao looked at Xiao'er and Chu Li as she spoke. " As I said, if you guys don't believe, then we can test the food right here. There is no poison in food at all."
" So, Long Ming must be poisoned from outside."
" And, the only suspects here are these two girls."
" What does that mean?!" Xiao'er looked at Liang Yao and shouted. " I am young Master Long's faithful servant! How can I do this to him?"
" Yes! Senior Brother even helped me to awaken my physique! Why would I harm him?"
Liang Yao shrugged. " Well, We don't know any hidden motive yet. So, I am asking Sect Master to put them into custody."
" Noo! We are innocent!"
" We didn't do anything!"
" Silence!"
Ming Yuexin's eyes turned red as she pulled out her sword and pointed at Chu Li and Xiao'er. " If you are most guilty, Who is?! Because there are only three people here!"
Xia Yuqing also glared at Chu Li and Xiao'er as she spoke. " Since that's the case, They should be put in custody."
" Sect Master! I didn't do anything! I am innocent!" Xiao'er shouted as tears streamed down her face. " I… I even know something! The Medicinal Hall…There is something…"
" Hmph! Trying to cover up Long Ming's death? I think you are really the culprit!" Liang Yao shouted angrily as her aura exploded, her voice covering Xiao'er.
Xiao'er felt like she was going to cough a mouthful of blood. Liang Yao's pressure was too much for her low cultivation.
" Sect Master, How about I take these two and get the truth out of them? Other than Soul Searching, I have some different methods."
Xia Yuqing looked at Liang Yao. " Are you sure you can extract the truth?"
" Sect Master, Please give me a chance." Liang Yao spoke with determination. " Long Ming could be considered as one of the best disciples of Four Seasons Valley. I will do my best to get the root of his murder."
" Then take them away!" Xia Yuqing turned around and snorted. " Before the truth comes out, no one must leak the news."
" Meanwhile, I will be preserving Long Ming's body."
Xia Yuqing's killing intent soared to the sky. Ming Yuexin was also gripping her sword as she was sobbing.
Xiao'er and Chu Li bith became horrified when they heard Xia Yuqing's words. Liang Yao snorted as she took both of them and left.
Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming's corpse as her tone was still cold. " Now, Can you get up?"
Long Ming didn't reply. Ming Yuexin was stunned when she heard that. " Sect Master…"
Xia Yuqing's killing intent vanished, but her cold expression remained. " I guess you will remain stubborn, huh?"
An icy sword materialized out of thin air as it turned into a beautiful ice sword. Holding it, she slashed at Long Ming's crotch.
Suddenly, Long Ming's body twisted at an odd angle as she evaded the attack. He slowly opened his eyes as he looked at Xia Yuqing.
" Master… You can't be serious, right? You really wanted to destroy your disciple's lifelong happiness?"
Long Ming stood while staggering as he took out the Poison Snake Heart and ate it. He sliced his wrist and the black colored blood flowed out from it. It didn't take long before the palace blue shade on his skin vanished.
" Bro…Brother Long, That…" Ming Yuexin was shocked when he saw that scene.
Xia Yuqing snorted when she saw Long Ming was right. " There is no way a bastard like him will die so suddenly. Especially after sending me the transmission talisman."
Long Ming chuckled as he looked at Ming Yuexin. " Sister Ming, Did I scare you?"
" Rascal! Why did you do this!" Ming Yuexin clenched her fist and hammered Long Ming's chest furiously. " Damn it, You weren't even breathing, nor your body had any qi. I was so scared for a moment…"
" I am sorry, Sister Ming. I had to create this scene." Long Ming hugged her as he whispered faintly.
" But there was no poison in the food. How did you get poisoned?" Xia Yuqing asked.
" Yes, there was no poison in individual food. However…" Long Ming grinned. " If you eat all food at once, the herbs will mix inside your body, creating a potent poison. Such poison will barely take any time before killing someone."
" And, How did you survive?"
Long Ming grinned. " I ate half of the antidote and sealed my acupoints. Using my Great Mystical Mountain Physique to make my blood heavier, I suppressed the poison. Then using a special means, I completely concealed my life force."
After all, his Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique's concealment ability is simply unparalleled.
" Now, Master, We don't have much time." Long Ming's eyes flickered as he jumped. " We need to hurry else that bitch might kill them."

" Elder Liang! You think you will be safe?" Xiao'er spoke with a venomous tone. " I already know the secret. Young Master already told me about…"
*PAAA*
Liang Yao slapped Xiao'er making her tumble backwards. " Bitch, You think you can ruin years of my hard work like this?"
Chu Li acted scared as she looked at Xiao'er. " Sister, Xiao'er, Wh-What is happening? What do you know?"
" Hehe, Liang Yao, I know… Why don't you confess it, huh?" Xiao'er wiped the blood from her lips as her tone was filled with venom. " You killed Young Master Long, didn't you?"
" Pffft… Hahahah!AHAHAHA!"
Liang Yao burst out laughing as her eyes turned cold.? " Yeah, I killed that fucker. So what?"
She clenched Xiao'er's jaws, making her bleed even more. " Can you imagine how I spent years in this shitty sect? Only if I wasn't duped, thinking that tits a great sect with the lineage of three Heavenly Emperor, I would be living in a better place."
" But you know what, I found a better offer. Heh, I seized a massive amount of resources from here. Even if Four Seasons Valley is dying, they still have a shit load of resources that I can plunder."
" Not to mention, I can even slowly deteriorate their strength, sending their disciples to a better place in exchange for a lot of resources."
Liang Yao clenched the neck of Xiao'er as she raised her body. " Just a bit more, and after this place gets empty, I will travel to Holy Qilin City and live a life of a queen."
" Don't worry, I will make sure to show you as the culprit after killing you." Liang Yao gave a cold laugh. " After all, A little bit of alchemical knowledge is enough to stain your hands with poison."
" You won't escape… You will die, Liang Yao." Xiao'er grinned. Her blood stained her face, making her look crazy.
" Hmph, I guess I need to silence you both."
Before Liang Yao could make her move, she suddenly felt like she lost the sensation of her right arm.
Her expression changed when she saw her arm got severed and fell on the ground. Xiao'er also fell to the ground as she gasped for breath.
" AHHHHHHH!!!!"
Liang Yao screamed in agony as she turned around. She saw Xia Yuqing standing there with an emotionless face. " Liang Yao, I never thought I had been raising a snake in my garden all these years."
" Yo-You!!"
Lian Yao's eyes turned wide when she saw Long Ming standing behind Xia Yuqing. " Bastard! How are you alive?"
" Well, My master said a scoundrel like me can't die so easily. Maybe that's why?" Long Ming grinned as he looked at her.
" You have been purchasing low quality cauldrons while taking money for high tire Spirit grade cauldrons. Not to mention, you subtly changed the formation plates of the alchemy room, making the heat easily damage the cauldron."
" Therefore, most disciples got their cauldron to explode due to the failure in refinement. They thought it was their fault as the cauldrons getting exploded is something normal." Long Ming snickered.
" But who would have thought the real reason was the faulty formation plates combined with their Burning Flower Flame Manipulation Art was the real cause of their failure?"
" Not only you embezzled the money of the sect, you even undermined the disciples of Four Season Valley, making their dao of alchemy extremely weak and feeble." Long Ming shouted as he pointed at Liang Yao.
" Kehk… You bastards… To think I will get tricked this bad." Liang Yao took out a bottle of pills and gulped down. The bleeding stopped instantly as she gave a fierce look to Xia Yuqing.
" Xia Yuqing, Don't act too cocky. I am an Alchemy Grandmaster, I can be respected anywhere I go. You should…"
Xia Yuqing raised her finger another icy light flashed. Liang Yao's aura burst out as she tried to to dodge that attack. But Xia Yuqing barely took any time before she severed the left arm of Liang Yao."
" ARRGHH!"
" I guess Four Seasons Valley is pretty different from anywhere else." Xia Yuqing's voice was dripping with an icy coldness. " Liang Yao, From right now, You are charged with treason. Your possessions will be confiscated and your cultivation shall be crippled."
" You think… You can do that?" A crazy smile flashed on her face as a violet color rune appeared before him. Suddenly, Her body started to turn illusory as she laughed out loud.
" Teleportation Talisman!"
Long Ming's eyes widened. But Xia Yuqing's expression didn't flinch. " My dear disciple, Watch carefully."
" Domain of Snow Flower."
Suddenly, a surge of frost energy erupted in the room as Liang Yao's expression changed. Her body which was turning fain suddenly halted as the violet rune got covered with frost.
" Yo-You! What are you doing?!"
" Nothing, Just freezing the space." Xia Yuqing replied.
" Now, Shatter."
Liang Yao's body exploded like a lump of crushed meat.
