Seeing Guo Luo's body lose strength, Yao Jun almost felt his vision blacken completely. Despite his rage, he still kept his calm and reacted quickly. He quickly brought Guo Luo into his gate and ordered Little Thunder to move her body over to the part of the mountain where he planted all the medicinal herbs that could counteract poison.
"You!"
Of course, Yao Jun himself did not enter the gate. He turned his head and stared death at the group of people from the Raging Snow Sect. With a wave of his hand, a wild wind suddenly appeared and whipped up the surrounding snow.
The wind hit the group of people straight on, five of them dying immediately, sliced to pieces. The last two that were still alive had only managed to survive because Yao Jun had allowed them to. The wind didn't slice them into pieces, but it chopped off their arms and legs, making it impossible for them to move.
While the surrounding people were fleeing in horror, Yao Jun made the five corpses sink into the shadows. He brought out Little Gray in the middle of the town and hopped onto his back, bringing the two surviving people with him.
Little Gray immediately took off at full speed, quickly turning into just a small spot that was barely visible from the town. After Little Gray flew away from the city, Yao Jun entered his gate and brought the two men with him.
"What did you do to her?! Where is the antidote?! Speak!"
The moment they entered the gate, Yao Jun grabbed the man who had stabbed Guo Luo and shouted out, his Mental Energy digging into the man's brain, turning him into little more than a puppet.
Acquiring the antidote was one of the reasons Yao Jun had not yet killed these two people. While she was inside his gate, Yao Jun could keep a constant watch on Guo Luo, no matter where he himself was. Because of this, he could see that the poison in her body was still spreading. Surrounding her with the medicinal herbs had slowed down the speed of the spreading, but it had not stopped the spreading.
"I stabbed her with a knife coated in poison that was created by Young Master Cui Dong. The only one who can make an antidote is Young Master Cui Dong."
The voice of the man was completely monotone as he spoke. He didn't even pay attention to all the blood he was losing.
"Why did you attack us?"
Yao Jun firmly memorized the name Cui Dong. Since he was the one who made the poison, and the only one with the antidote, he was most likely also the one who sent them.
"We recently received word that the two of you had been spotted in Snow's Heart Town, so the sect sent out orders that we are to try and assassinate you upon spotting you."
"Why would the Raging Snow Sect want us dead? Do you work for one of the four clans?"
Yao Jun furrowed his eyebrows as he questioned, but he quickly realized that it was highly unlikely. The four clans would not want him dead immediately. They thought that he was working for the Demon Race, so it was more likely that they would use him as a hostage.
"We are a branch of the Guo clan that were sent to the Grand Quan continent to slowly build up an organization that they could utilize against the four clans."
"Guo clan! Where will I find that Cui Dong?"
Hearing the man's words, Yao Jun's expression twisted into one of hatred. Once more it was the Guo clan that was harming those close to him. He couldn't help but slightly worry as he asked. If Cui Dong was on the Liang continent, it would be almost impossible for Yao Jun to return fast enough to acquire the antidote.
"Young Mater Cui Dong is always at the side of Sect Master Cui Bao in Raging Snow City."
"'How strong are Cui Dong and Cui Bao?"
Yao Jun let out a slight sigh of relief after hearing the man's response. With Little Gray flying at full speed, reaching Raging Snow City would only take a few days. The next step now was to find out exactly how strong they were.
"Sect Master Cui Bao is at the late stage of the 2nd Mortal Earth, his power consists of controlling snow and ice, but it has a drawback in that it will slowly freeze his body whenever he uses it. The Guo clan could not send someone stronger here, as it would arouse the suspicion of the Yao clan."
"Young Master Cui Dong is at the early stage of the 2nd Mortal Earth, his power allows him to create poisons as well as antidotes, but if he creates too much poison, his own body will be invaded by it."
"Good. You are useless to me now."
Yao Jun nodded his head after hearing the man's description. Cui Bao and Cui dong's powers could be considered rather strong, but since they had strong drawbacks, they could only be called low level powers.
After Yao Jun nodded his head, Ba-Shei slithered out from the shadows and swallowed the body of the man whole. Yao Jun did not bother watching this, turning around to the last man he had left alive, who was now pale as paper.
Yao Jun repeated the process once more, digging into the last man's mind with his Mental Energy and forcing him to answer the same questions as the previous man. After making sure that both men had given the same response, he tossed the last man to Ba-Shei, who happily swallowed him whole.
After taking care of the two men, Yao Jun walked over to where Little Gray had placed Guo Luo. There was still purple energy coursing beneath her skin, but it was spreading much slower now.
"I'm sorry Luo'er, it was my fault. I should have made sure that we still kept up our disguises before entering any towns and cities."
Yao Jun sat down next to Guo Luo and raised her head onto his lap, gently stroking her hair with one hand. After stroking her hair for a short moment, he started pulling up various medicinal herbs. Ever since they arrived on the Grand Quan continent, Yao Jun was no longer worried about anyone recognizing them, so he had not made sure that they kept using Guo Luo's illusions to disguise themselves.
"It's only going to be a few days. In a few days we will reach Raging Snow City, and then I can force Cui Dong to create the antidote."
All the herbs Yao Jun plucked were herbs that were used to counteract various poisons and symptoms. Guo Luo could obviously not chew them on her own, so he put them in his mouth and chewed them to paste, before giving them to Guo Luo mouth to mouth.
