Chapter 1084: Chapter 1021: The Elder in Green Robes!

"Should I make a move to seize the Saint King Vessel?"

On the Viper One, Wang Zicheng was caught in an internal struggle.

There was no way he could let go of the Saint King Vessel, but he had some concerns.

That concern was Wang Youer.

He certainly didn’t think much of Qin Feiyang and Young Master Hao’s abilities, but Wang Youer’s cultivation was comparable to his.

Of course.

If it were someone else of the same realm, he wouldn’t care.

Because he was fully confident that even without using the Forbidden Technique, he could suppress the opponent.

This was the confidence of being one of the Ten Geniuses of Qinghai.

But Wang Youer, after spending these days together, he vaguely realized that her ability might not be inferior to his.

Without the Forbidden Technique, he really wasn’t sure.

Stepping back a bit, even if he used the Forbidden Technique, it was hard to guarantee that Wang Youer didn’t have other means to counter it.

After all, Wang Youer came from the Divine City.

Although he didn’t know exactly who Wang Youer was, judging from the arrogance she displayed, it wasn’t hard to deduce she was not inferior to Qin Feiyang.

So, he dared not be careless.

"Forget it."

"There’s a long road ahead. I’ll look for another opportunity later."

Ultimately.

After much hesitation, Wang Zicheng decided to temporarily give up the idea of seizing the Saint King Vessel.

Then.

He cut his finger and dripped blood onto the Viper One to establish a master-servant bond.

Once the Blood Covenant was complete, he put away the Viper One and chased after Qin Feiyang and the other two, angrily shouting, "Hey, you three! We’re supposed to be companions now, yet you just leave me behind? Wait for me!"

...

At the same moment.

On a certain island.

"Wang Zicheng, you bastard, daring to kill my Viper men, I will never forgive you..."

Atop a mountain peak.

Viper stood there, hands clasped behind his back, with a cold glint in his eyes.

Surrounding him was a dense green mist, causing nearby plants and trees to wither and die.

Not far away, several sacred beasts lay on the ground, frothing at the mouth and convulsing violently.

Clearly.

This mist contained deadly poison!

"Does making threats work? If you want revenge, take action."

Suddenly.

A hoarse voice echoed.

"Who?"

Viper’s expression changed as he quickly scanned the surroundings.

Someone had actually managed to evade his senses and silently enter this island?

Swish!

High above.

An elderly man in green descended from the sky, landing in the air in front of Viper.

He had white hair and a white beard, exuded an aura of kindness, and was dressed in spotless green robes, like a reclusive sage, radiating an ethereal presence.

"What a powerful aura!"

When Viper looked at the green-clad elderly man, his pupils contracted sharply.

As one of the Ten Geniuses of Qinghai, what kind of strong individuals had he not encountered? But this elderly man before him, he couldn’t discern his cultivation realm.

"Let’s make a deal!"

The green-clad elder sized up Viper with a faint smile and said.

"What kind of deal?"

Viper frowned.

The green-clad elder said, "Help me kill someone, and after it’s done, I’ll grant you a Fortune."

Viper was taken aback and asked, "Who do you want killed?"

"A man named Ancestor Mu."

The elder waved his hand, and Battle Intent in the air formed the image of Qin Feiyang.

Viper scrutinized Qin Feiyang’s image, furrowing his brows, and said, "What is his level of cultivation? Where is he now?"

"He’s a Two-star War Saint, currently with Wang Zicheng. Wang Zicheng’s ability to kill your men and seize the Viper One probably has something to do with him."

The elder explained.

Viper said, "That’s impossible. I just spoke with Wang Zicheng and didn’t see the person you’re talking about."

"He’s very clever."

"Probably to avoid drawing your attention, he didn’t stand with Wang Zicheng during your communication."

"And by the way, Wang Zicheng didn’t retake the Saint King Vessel; it is being controlled by this man’s companion."

The elder smiled.

"Damn it!"

Viper’s eyes flashed with a fierce light, but then he asked, puzzled, "Since you know him so well and are so powerful, why don’t you take care of it yourself?"

"For me to kill him, it would indeed be very easy, but there are reasons I can’t do it myself."

"As for what reasons, don’t ask anymore. Just answer me, will you do it or not?"

The elderly man said.

"No!"

Viper didn’t even consider it and shook his head directly.

"Huh?"

The elderly man was taken aback and frowned, "Don’t you want to know what kind of Fortune I’ll offer you?"

Viper sneered, "Compared to any Fortune, I still treasure my life more."

"What do you mean?"

The elder asked with an intriguing expression.

"You don’t need to pretend anymore. Someone you dare not kill wouldn’t be a simple character, right? Trying to entice me with trivial benefits to be the pawn, you underestimate me, Viper."

Viper scoffed.

"The Ten Geniuses of Qinghai are indeed extraordinary."

"However, whether you’ll do it or not, today it’s not up to you."

The elderly man chuckled.

Yet in that smile, Viper saw a trace of sinister malice.

Without hesitation, he turned and attempted to flee.

Boom!

But a terrifying imperial might locked him in place in mid-air.

"This imperial might..."

"At least Five-star War Emperor level or above..."

"Who exactly are you?"

Viper’s face turned pale as he shouted angrily.

Swish!

The elder did not answer but approached Viper, retrieving a transparent jade bottle from his Qiankun Bag.

Inside the jade bottle was half-filled with black liquid.

"What are you planning to do?"

Viper panicked upon seeing the jade bottle.

Though oblivious to its content, it was evident that it was nothing good.

"Aren’t you renowned for ’using poison’ in Qinghai?"

"Now I give you a chance: if you can eliminate this poison in three days, I’ll let you go."

"But if you fail, you will complete this task for me."

The old man in a green robe smiled faintly, poured out a drop of poison, and then gently waved his arm, allowing the poison to enter the viper’s mouth.

Then.

The old man in a green robe withdrew his pressure, stepped back a few paces, and silently watched the viper.

"Ah..."

Immediate effect!

The viper immediately crouched in the void and howled miserably.

Black mist quickly appeared on its green skin, even spreading to its eyes and lips.

"How is this possible?"

"I’ve tested poisons for years and grown immune to them, yet I’m poisoned?"

"What is this poison?"

The viper mumbled to itself, incredibly alarmed.

"There’s always someone better, just like there’s always a higher sky. You’re merely a frog at the bottom of a well."

The old man in a green robe clasped his hands behind his back, his aged face carrying a faint smile tinged with some contempt.

"A frog at the bottom of a well..."

"You dare say I am a frog at the bottom of a well?"

"Haha..."

Hearing this, the viper laughed wildly toward the sky, the previous panic disappearing.

"Why are you laughing?"

The old man in a green robe raised his eyebrows.

"I’m laughing at your stupidity."

"If you had used another way to deal with me, maybe I truly wouldn’t have had a method."

"But using poison against me is the biggest mistake of your life!"

The viper sneered at the old man, quickly taking out a jade bottle from the Qiankun Bag.

The jade bottle was about as thick as a thumb, containing half a bottle of liquid inside.

But it wasn’t black; it was milky white, shimmering with a sacred aura.

The old man in a green robe curiously examined the jade bottle.

"Do you know what this is?"

"This is an antidote I’ve concocted over ten years, investing countless effort and energy, called Sacred Water."

"I’ll tell you, this Sacred Water is even more effective than the Detoxification Pill, it can neutralize any poison!"

After saying that, the viper poured out a drop of Sacred Water and consumed it.

"Can it really neutralize any poison?"

The old man in a green robe smiled calmly.

"Of course."

"I have full confidence in Sacred Water."

The viper nodded with certainty.

"Then let’s wait and see!"

The old man in a green robe chuckled, showing a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

The viper glared at him grimly, then sat cross-legged in the void, closing his eyes to sense the poison within.

Time passed bit by bit.

"Impossible..."

Suddenly!

The viper opened its eyes, filled with disbelief.

The old man in a green robe also showed some disappointment in his eyes, shaking his head: "It seems your so-called Sacred Water isn’t very effective!"

"No..."

"I spent ten years concocting this Sacred Water, how could it be useless..."

"Yes, it must not be enough quantity!"

The viper continued shaking its head, consuming more drops of Sacred Water, yet still failing to neutralize the poison.

"Why is this happening..."

"Why..."

"I don’t believe it..."

In a frenzy, the viper drank the entire bottle of Sacred Water, but it was to no avail.

"Is it really useless?"

"Did I spend ten years on something meaningless?"

He was reluctant to accept this fact, but the truth was right before his eyes.

He slowly collapsed, sitting in the void like a puddle of mud, his eyes dull and lifeless.

Obviously.

This outcome dealt him a severe blow.

The old man in a green robe glanced at the jade bottle in his hand, walked over, snatched the bottle, and sniffed it.

Then.

He crushed the jade bottle, grabbed a shard, and licked the Sacred Water on it, carefully savoring it.

Moments later.

The old man in a green robe’s eyes lit up, he looked down at the viper and laughed: "Your ten years of effort weren’t in vain."

"Hmm?"

The viper looked at him in astonishment.

The old man in a green robe said: "This Sacred Water can indeed neutralize all poisons, and can even barely neutralize Blood Scorpio’s venom."

The viper asked: "Then why can’t it neutralize your venom?"

"It’s simple."

"That venom is more terrifying than Blood Scorpio’s poison."

The old man in a green robe replied.

Boom!

Upon hearing this.

The viper felt a shock like thunder on a clear day, trembling inside and out.

More terrifying than Blood Scorpio’s poison, how could anyone in the world create such a dreadful toxin?

"Enough, I see you are at the end of your rope, so stop struggling, obediently do as I say. Once done, I will give you the antidote."

After speaking, the old man in a green robe took out another jade bottle containing red liquid, handing it to the viper: "This also counts as an antidote, but can only temporarily suppress the poison within you. Keep it, don’t die before you complete your task."

The viper looked at the old man in a green robe, then at the jade bottle, finally raising his hand to take the bottle.

"I await your good news."

The old man in a green robe said with a smile, then transformed into a stream of light and disappeared from the viper’s sight like lightning.

"Damn bastard!"

The viper cursed angrily, his expression incredibly ferocious, then turned his gaze away, consuming a drop of red liquid before taking out the Image Crystal Stone.

Buzz!

Quickly.

An enchanting and beautiful woman appeared, bowing and saying: "Greetings, Lord Viper."

The viper said coldly: "Notify everyone, search for Wang Zicheng’s whereabouts with all your might."

"What does Lord mean by this?"

The enchanting woman asked in confusion.

"Just do as I say, once discovered, immediately notify me!"

The viper commanded.

"Yes!"

The enchanting woman respectfully responded, her apparition fading away.

"Wang Zicheng..."

"Ancestor Mu..."

"And that Old Bastard..."

"Remember, anyone who crosses me, the Viper, will never meet a good end!"

The viper coldly smiled, then sat down cross-legged, beginning to examine the red liquid in the jade bottle.
