Chapter 154: Acting!
Elder Zhao came to the Hundred Herb Hall and immediately went to pay his respects to the Hundred Herb Hall’s patriarch.
Elder Zhao came to the front of the Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster and hurriedly bowed, “Greetings, senior!”
“Get up.” The Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster lightly waved his hand.
At this time, Elder Zhao hurriedly stood up.
He hurriedly said, “Senior, have you heard? Last night, the entire Zhang family was exterminated. It seems that Ye Gu Cheng has come back again.”
Elder Zhao Chengyi pretended to know nothing as if he had come to seek refuge with the Grandmaster of the Hundred Herb Hall. He would not give himself away.
The Grandmaster of the Hundred Herb Hall looked at Zhao Chengyi calmly and said, “I’ve heard. It seems that this Ye Gu Cheng is indeed difficult to deal with. Otherwise, the two of you, who are in the Transcending Tribulation Realm, would not be his match.
“I believe that he came back this time to break us one by one and gradually disintegrate us. Only then would he be able to deal with me.”
The Grandmaster of the Hundred Herb Hall had lived for nearly a thousand years, so he naturally knew Ye Gu Cheng’s intention.
Through this matter, the Grandmaster of the Hundred Herb Hall also began to pay attention to this Ye Gu Cheng.
To be able to kill an early-stage Transcending Tribulation Realm, his strength and methods must be extraordinary.
It was very likely that he would be able to reach his level.
The Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster was a little surprised. He did not know who Ye Chen was.
The Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster continued, “He killed the Zhang family’s Grandmaster first. I’m afraid he’ll have to deal with you next.”
Elder Zhao hurriedly continued, “Senior, I’m just worried that he’ll find me. I can’t deal with him alone. That’s why I came to find you.
“As long as I’m with you, he can’t attack us alone. With our strength, we’ll definitely be able to defeat him.”
Zhao Chengyi’s analysis was well-organized.
It was impossible to tell that he was putting on an act.
He said it as if he really wanted to deal with Ye Chen.
Ye Chen concealed all his aura. He killed a disciple of the Hundred Herb Hall, then disguised himself as that disciple and mingled in the Hundred Herb Hall.
As long as he waited for Zhao Chengyi to poison the Grandmaster of the Hundred Herb Hall, Ye Chen would make his move.
Then, the Grandmaster of the Hundred Herb Hall would die without a doubt.
“Alright, then you can stay here. If you die, I’m afraid that Ye Chen’s next target will be me. You’re right. Although your strength is still a little lacking, you’re still alive and useful.” The Grandmaster of the Hundred Herb Hall said indifferently.
At this moment, a maid walked in.
She bowed to the ancestor and said, “Grandmaster, it’s time to change your Agarwood.”
At this moment, Zhao Chengyi immediately seized this opportunity and said, “Senior is practicing. Don’t disturb him. You two go out first. Leave it to me!”
“Yes!”
The two maids immediately left.
Zhao Chengyi took the incense and took the opportunity to put the poison Ye Chen gave him into the incense.
Then, in the room, he slowly lit up the incense.
Zhao Chengyi did not think that there would be such a good opportunity. Although it was a bit risky to poison himself, by the time the old man reacted, it would be too late!
The Grandmaster of the Hundred Herb Hall did not mind Zhao Chengyi staying in the room and sitting cross-legged, slowly absorbing true energy.
At this moment, Zhao Chengyi noticed that the Grandmaster of the Hundred Herb Hall was gradually absorbing the smoke into his body.
Suddenly, the Grandmaster of the Hundred Herb Hall felt something was wrong.
A surge of Qi and blood suddenly flowed up from his body.
He was extremely shocked.
What was going on?
Pu —
Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Only then did he react. He had been poisoned.
There was poison in that fragrance!
The Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster instantly looked at Zhao Chengyi. His ice-cold gaze seemed as if it wanted to kill him ten thousand times.
“There’s poison in the fragrance!”
“Zhao Chengyi, I didn’t expect that you would actually poison me!”
The Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster was a Peak Tier Nine Alchemist. When he was young, he had tasted a hundred herbs.
His body had long since become immune to all poisons.
Even if a type of potent poison had some effect on him, it would definitely not be able to kill him.
Zhao Chengyi understood that the matter had been exposed. If he stayed, he would definitely die. Next, he would follow the agreement and hand it over to Ye Gu Cheng to deal with.
He flew and wanted to escape.
At this moment, a palm blasted out from his back.
Boom —
A loud sound.
The Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster struck out with his palm.
Elder Zhao Chengyi was instantly sent flying.
Bang —
A huge hole was smashed into the room.
The Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster looked at Zhao Mingyi in shock.
He had never expected that Zhao Mingyi would actually harm him.
At this moment, the Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster looked coldly at Zhao Mingyi on the ground and said, “I took revenge for you, but you harmed me. I must kill you today!”
As the Grandmaster of the Hundred Herb Hall said this, another mouthful of Qi and blood suddenly surged up.
Surging true energy continuously flowed in his body.
At this moment, his heart shook violently.
“What kind of poison is this? How can there be such a strong poison?”
“But I have used poison all my life. Do you think that this little poison can kill me?” The Grandmaster of the Hundred Herb Hall sneered as the true energy in his body continued to surge.
Zhao Mingyi had suffered a very serious injury after taking the Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster’s palm. He took this opportunity to drag his broken body and escape.
“You want to escape?”
The Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster flew behind Zhao Mingyi and struck again.
At this moment, the Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster suddenly felt a stream of true energy shooting toward him.
When he focused his eyes, he saw a sword flying in front of him and confronting him.
