Chapter 1448: Chapter 1448: What Should We Do?

"Lu Tianwen, this is the last chance the President is giving you, don’t be stubborn and do something irreversible!"

Breaking through to the Heavenly Realm, Lu Yanji felt his whole body transparent, and the previous repression disappeared in an instant, replaced by an absolute dominion not often seen before.

Even Qian Sanyuan and Qingmu Wu over there had never seen Lu Yanji in such a strong stance, perhaps this is the authority that a President should have.

As for the other onlookers, at this moment, they all turned their expectant gazes onto Lu Tianwen’s face, wanting to know if the old fellow could still stand firm in front of such a dominant Lu Yanji.

After all, people did not know that the Heavenly Rank Advanced Poison had no antidote even for Lu Tianwen himself, they only knew that under such threat, the Vice President of Douling Commerce might just have to compromise.

"Haha, Lu Yanji, do you really think that by breaking through to the Heavenly Realm, you can become invincible?"

Just when everyone was filled with anticipation, a laughter burst from Lu Tianwen’s mouth, making everyone’s heart skip a beat, secretly thinking that this script seemed somewhat different from what they envisioned.

"So what about the Heavenly Realm? So what about a Heavenly Rank Advanced Meridian Refiner? Lu Yanji, I’ll tell you this Heavenly Rank Advanced Poison, even I don’t have an antidote, today we all die together, the Huangquan Road will not be lonely in the end!"

Seemingly sensing a fierce poison energy surging within his body, Lu Tianwen appeared a bit sinister at this moment, and his words sent everyone’s hearts sinking to the bottom.

"He doesn’t even have an antidote, this... this is too ruthless!"

Many people stared at Lu Tianwen on the stone platform who seemed mad, all with a hint of fear in their hearts, not only being ruthless to others, but so ruthless to himself was truly fearsome.

"No antidote?"

Upon hearing this, even Lu Yanji couldn’t help but frown slightly, although he still had some tricks up his sleeve yet to be played, but just the Meridian Array earlier let him know that this unknown Earth Rank Advanced Poison was extremely potent.

"Hm!"

After pondering for a moment, Lu Yanji no longer paid attention to Lu Tianwen on the platform, but strode over to several big shots of Lianyun Mountain, who were apparently already poisoned.

"Sanyuan, cooperate a bit!"

Lu Yanji’s voice rang out, making many faces show a strange expression, while his right hand already extended, tapping dozens of times on Qian Sanyuan’s body.

This time the acupuncture points Lu Yanji tapped were vastly different from before, but looking at his technique, the two heads on the stone platform, one old and one young, couldn’t help but shake slightly.

"Such methods can’t solve the Ten Thousand Covering Mysterious Trace Poison!"

Yun Xiao thought about some ways to solve the Ten Thousand Covering Mysterious Trace, with no doubt in his heart, this President of the Meridian Refining Master Association, Lu Yanji, although carrying the Lu Family bloodline, probably has no connection to the Lu Family of Nine-layered Dragon Cloud. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Because one way to solve the Ten Thousand Covering Mysterious Trace is to activate the Lu Family bloodline, which would certainly be much more effective.

Yet at this moment, Lu Yanji is only using the conventional methods of the Tenglong Continent, and with Yun Xiao’s insight, he naturally knows that such methods have little effect on solving the Ten Thousand Covering Mysterious Trace.

"Hmph, Lu Yanji, I told you, even if your skills are heavenly, don’t expect to solve even a fraction of this poison!"

Conversely, Lu Tianwen, wearing a cold smile, spoke more straightforwardly, without hiding anything, his voice echoing in the sky, making many face pale.

However, at this moment, how could Lu Yanji possibly pay attention to Lu Tianwen’s provocation? He must try again, and fellow Medical Pulse Master Qian Sanyuan is undoubtedly his best trial object.

It seems that Lu Yanji intends to use his Meridian Refining Technique, combined with Qian Sanyuan’s understanding of the Medical Vein, the combination of the two might offer a tiny chance of solving it.

When the time comes, even if ordinary cultivators cannot be saved, at least the Meridian Refining Masters belonging to Lianyun Mountain will have a chance for salvation.

Unfortunately, Lu Yanji doesn’t know what kind of poison this is, even though his methods are considered the best of Tenglong Continent’s Meridian Refining, if the technique isn’t aligned with the poison, how could it possibly yield a good outcome?

Boom!

A moment later, a formidable energy burst from Qian Sanyuan’s body, and in the next moment, his once clear gaze turned into a blood-red haze!

Hoo...

Sure, here’s the translation:

Vice Chairman Qian, who normally held immense respect for the President, suddenly swung his right hand mercilessly at Lu Yanji’s left cheek, showing no sign of restraint.

The Ten Thousand Covering Mysterious Trace poison is divided into two layers; the first layer causes the entire body to become weak and limp, while the second layer eliminates the weakness instantly, confusing the poisoned person’s mind, causing them to attack the people they see—it truly is extremely powerful.

"Qian Sanyuan, what are you doing?"

Seeing Qian Sanyuan’s actions, even Qingmu Wu, standing by, knew that with the President’s skills, there was no way he would truly be hit, yet he couldn’t help but shout loudly.

However, Qingmu Wu found himself completely powerless at this moment; he could only shout out loud, unable to stop Qian Sanyuan’s actions, and a suspicion began to form in his mind.

Indeed, Lu Yanji was not struck by Qian Sanyuan’s slap. After he stepped back to dodge, his expression turned incredibly dark, tinged with a hint of embarrassment and regret.

"Lu Yanji, stop wasting effort. This poison of mine erupts even faster as you try to counter it. How does it feel to be attacked by your own subordinate?"

From afar on the stone platform, Lu Tianwen watched Qian Sanyuan’s actions with a satisfied grin. This cold laughter also explained the sudden erratic behavior of Qian Sanyuan earlier.

"Indeed, that’s the case!"

Listening to Lu Tianwen’s mocking words, Lu Yanji was in no mood to pay attention to them. He knew it was reckless this time, and due to his recklessness, the second layer of Qian Sanyuan’s poison effect was triggered, leading to that sudden attack.

Fortunately, Lu Yanji was a powerful figure in the Heavenly Realm. Despite his regret, his actions did not halt in the slightest. He tapped several times between Qian Sanyuan’s chest and abdomen, sealing the most critical Meridian Qi points.

With several points sealed, although the red glow in Qian Sanyuan’s eyes hadn’t faded, he was now powerless to confront Lu Yanji. His body went limp, and he collapsed directly onto the chair.

Despite being entirely weak, Qian Sanyuan’s eyes remained fixed fiercely on Lu Yanji, as if ready to strike at any moment. Seeing the poison’s formidable nature, Lu Yanji found it extremely challenging.

"Lu Tianwen, what will it take for you to provide the antidote?"

Realizing he was out of options, Lu Yanji could only turn his gaze back to Lu Tianwen. As for Lu Tianwen’s earlier claim of not having the antidote, Lu Yanji didn’t believe a single word.

Lu Tianwen was considered one of the outstanding figures of the Douling Commerce in the past century. Even before losing his sanity, Lu Yanji had some impression of him, knowing that such an old guy would never fight an uncertain battle nor leave himself without any retreat.

However, this time Lu Yanji guessed wrong. Originally, Lu Tianwen planned a retreat, but it was completely disrupted by Yun Xiao, forcing him to choose this path of no return.

If everything had gone according to Lu Tianwen’s plan, he would have secured victory in the Poison Meridian Path championship, then escaped first before triggering the Ten Thousand Covering Mysterious Trace poison.

Once everything was concluded, Lu Tianwen planned to take the poisoned Yun Xiao away, completing his task perfectly, but all of it no longer existed.

"Alas, Lu Yanji, why don’t you believe me? I truly don’t have any antidote!"

Faced with Lu Yanji’s inquiry again, Lu Tianwen appeared somewhat disinterested, his strength seemingly drained, once more collapsing weakly to the floor, speaking feebly.

"Judging by the state of this old fellow, it doesn’t seem to be false, what do we do now?"

Lu Yanji watched Lu Tianwen intently on the stone platform, hoping to detect any signs of deceit on his face, but ultimately left him disappointed.

Understanding the potency of the poison, Lu Yanji tried twice and had a good grasp of it. He knew even after years of reaching the rank of Heavenly Rank Advanced Meridian Refiner, he might still be incapable of resolving it, let alone at this point as a half-mature.

Assuming once he broke through to the Heavenly Realm, he could handle anything effortlessly, today’s events taught Lu Yanji a lesson: there are indeed some matters on the continent beyond human capability.

Spectators’ gazes shifted continuously between Lu Tianwen and Lu Yanji, hoping for a word that might ignite hopeful thoughts, ultimately remaining disappointed.

Everyone’s hope was invested in Lu Yanji after he appeared, believing the continent’s number one Meridian Master would solve it, yet never expected the newly advanced Heavenly Realm Lu Yanji to be so helpless.

Earlier, the crowd placed their hopes on Lu Tianwen, believing that once everything settled, as the Douling Commerce’s Vice Chairman, he wouldn’t act so outrageously for the greater good.

Yet now with Lu Yanji powerless and Lu Tianwen openly admitting he lacks the antidote, even he himself might fall victim to the Heavenly Rank Advanced Poison, not to mention those outsiders?

Suddenly, the entire Meridian Refining Master Association square fell into absolute silence, within which flowed an inescapable despair.
