Chapter 3508 Poisoned!
"Fellow Daoist, do you now believe that there is no poison in our tea?"
A flash of cold light crossed Elder Zhu's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and smiled at Ye Junlin.
"You've already drunk it, so why should I doubt it?"
Ye Junlin's lips curled into a faint, enigmatic smile as he gazed at Elder Zhu.
"Fellow Daoist is a very open and honest person, which I greatly admire."
Elder Zhu smiled and nodded, then said, "Now that those disciples are all dead, I'm sure you've vented your anger. My Cloud Palace has also suffered heavy losses of disciples this time..."
"But in the end, it was my Cloud Palace that was at fault, so I will let it go for now."
"From now on, the relationship between our Cloud Palace and your Upper Night Palace can be further strengthened."
"You could say we became friends after a fight."
Ye Junlin continued to look at Elder Zhu with a half-smile, gently toying with the cup in his hand.
Suddenly, he put down the cup, and his expression became serious.
"Elder Zhu, I, Shangxiao Palace, have always disliked causing trouble, as you surely know."
"Of course I know. For many years, Shangxiao Palace has remained peaceful and undisturbed by the world. This is a well-known fact."
Elder Zhu nodded slightly, but added in his mind one more sentence—
Not taking action means not taking action.
But once you make a move, you will surely annihilate your opponent, leaving them with absolutely no chance of survival!
Their methods are ruthless!
In fact, this was also for the purpose of self-protection by Shangxiao Palace.
No one else can know that what Shangxiao Palace cultivates is not the energy of the Holy Domain, but the original power of the Great Void from the Three Thousand Great Worlds.
"Since Elder Zhu knows that I, Shangxiao Palace, dislike fighting, then Elder Zhu should not pretend to be deaf and dumb."
Ye Junlin suddenly sighed.
"Oh? Why did you say that?"
Elder Zhu's eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately looked surprised.
Furthermore, he personally poured Ye Junlin a cup of tea.
Ye Junlin didn't stand on ceremony. He picked up his teacup and raised it towards Elder Zhu, as if offering a toast.
Elder Zhu also picked up his teacup, raised it briefly with Ye Junlin in the air, and then drank it all in one gulp.
Ye Junlin slowly took a sip, then gently put down his teacup and said, "Judging from Elder Zhu's appearance, he doesn't seem to know the inside story of this matter."
"I truly do not know, please enlighten me, fellow Daoist."
Elder Zhu then displayed a puzzled expression at just the right moment.
"The reason why these disciples of your Cloud Palace attacked my brother is that they wanted to steal one of my brother's rare treasures."
Ye Junlin stared intently at Elder Zhu.
Elder Zhu felt a slight chill run down his spine.
As expected, we've come to this point!
Fortunately, all the plans had already been devised in the teacup.
We're just waiting for the right time!
Elder Zhu slowly exhaled and shook his head, saying, "I really don't know about that."
He then chuckled and said, "But judging from your tone, fellow Daoist, you want them to hand over the extraordinary treasure?"
Ye Junlin nodded.
Elder Zhu sighed, "It's a pity they're all dead. There's no way to confront them, and we don't know what they were trying to steal. What can we do?"
After saying that, he spread his hands, indicating that he had no other choice.
"You don't know, but I can tell you."
Ye Junlin smiled softly, his eyes also flashing with an unusual light.
"Please say."
Elder Zhu immediately made a gesture of invitation.
"What they stole was a drop of the Blood of the Vermilion Bird that Burns the Heavens!"
Ye Junlin spoke, his eyes fixed on Elder Zhu.
"oh?!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Zhu seemed to be hearing it for the first time. He was immediately shocked and exclaimed in horror, "This is impossible! Although there are rumors that the Vermilion Bird Clan appears in our area, no one has ever actually seen them."
"We also searched, but found nothing."
"Since there is no Vermilion Bird, there can naturally be no blood of the Vermilion Bird that burns the heavens."
"Fellow Daoist, are you joking?"
Ye Junlin remained unfazed, still wearing that ambiguous smile, having anticipated that the other party would deny everything.
He said calmly, "Of course I'm not joking. As far as I know, you've always regarded the Cangmang Mountains as a public place where anyone can enter and train."
"good."
Elder Zhu nodded.
"My younger brother went to search for the whereabouts of the Vermilion Bird Clan with a fluke mentality, and he actually found the Blood of the Burning Heaven Vermilion Bird. However, it was intercepted by your disciples. I came here not only to seek revenge, but also to ask your sect to return the Blood of the Burning Heaven Vermilion Bird to its rightful owner."
Ye Junlin stared directly at Elder Zhu.
Elder Zhu immediately stood up, pacing back and forth with a serious expression: "Fellow Daoist, it's not that I'm not cooperating, it's just that I really don't know anything about it. Besides, even if it were true, those people would definitely put it in a hidden place, and I wouldn't be able to find it."
"This, this, this, what should I do?"
In short, his core idea was to pretend he was unaware and knew nothing.
This would allow them to control Ye Junlin.
However, Ye Junlin did not come here to reason with them; he only said this to have a 'justifiable reason'.
He sighed, "It seems Elder Zhu doesn't want to talk properly. I might as well put it this way: if I can't find the Blood of the Burning Heaven Vermilion Bird, I will never leave this place."
"You must give me an explanation."
Elder Zhu's expression changed slightly.
I had previously thought that this person was quite friendly and had some 'reason' to speak with.
Now it seems that's not entirely true!
"Fellow Daoist, you are asking too much of us."
Elder Zhu frowned, glancing at Ye Junlin with slight displeasure: "How can we explain things we don't know to you? If this is your attitude, then we can't continue this discussion!"
If we can't reach an agreement, then we won't talk.
Ye Junlin remained seated, calmly picked up his teacup, and took another sip of tea.
He then frowned slightly, as if he were feeling unwell.
Seeing this, Elder Zhu's eyes flashed with a cold light, knowing that the poison in the tea had taken effect.
But he really didn't want to be enemies with such geniuses as those from Shangxiao Palace.
One small change can have far-reaching consequences!
After all, Shangxiao Palace would not give up on such a top genius!
Therefore, Elder Zhu sighed, "If that's the case, Fellow Daoist, you must be planning to continue your actions."
"There's no other way. I must take the Blood of the Vermilion Bird that Burns the Heavens with me, and I must find it."
Ye Junlin looked directly at Elder Zhu and said.
Elder Zhu remained silent for a moment, actually waiting for the medicine to fully penetrate Ye Junlin's body.
He then stood up and looked down at Ye Junlin: "Fellow Daoist, don't accuse me of being despicable. Even if you are now at the sixth level of Earthly Sovereign, you would never dare to act recklessly within my Cloud Palace."
"Oh?"
A hint of panic flashed across Ye Junlin's face, but he pretended to be calm and said...
"Your tea has long been poisoned; you can't even muster one or two tenths of your strength."
Elder Zhu's tone gradually turned cold, and his gaze fixed on Ye Junlin: "Even if you have reached the sixth level of the Earthly Sovereign realm, you will not be allowed to act presumptuously within my Cloud Palace!"
