After the short youth had left Shang Qing Palace, he left Green City again for the same forest.

Soon, he was in the forest.

​ 

However, this time around, he did not go to the rocky valley but he moved around in the forest. After he was very deep in, he stopped under a huge ancient tree.

Let me see who you are trying to harm!

Su Mo hid in a tree far away and watched the short youth.

The short youth sat cross-legged under the ancient tree and he seemed to be waiting for someone.

He waited for four hours.

Four hours later, an air-rending sound broke out and the man in a black robe arrived. He then slowly landed under the ancient tree.

“Have you succeeded?”

The man in a black robe asked anxiously the moment he landed.

“If I had not succeeded, I would not have asked you to come over!” The short youth immediately stood up and smiled proudly.

“Oh?” When the man in a black robe heard that, two rays of black radiance shot out from his eyes.

The short youth was surprised. He had no idea about the identity of the man in a black robe but he knew that he was from a powerful Demon Clan.

He did not know whether he was from the True Demon Tribe or Sky Demon Tribe.

“See!”

The short youth waved his hand and there was a slight fluctuation in the space before him. A green radiance flashed across and turned into a figure in green.

The figure was sitting cross-legged, and she looked slender. Her silky hair flowed down smoothly onto her shoulders.

Ling Chang?

Su Mo was shocked when he saw the figure. He knew her well. She was Qingxuan, who was also Ling Chang.

Suddenly, Su Mo realized that Ling Chang had been in Shang Qing Palace all the while.

The short youth and the man in a black robe had conspired to harm her.

Su Mo’s face suddenly darkened. How dare the short youth and the man in a black robe harm Ling Chang! They must be tired of living.

However, Su Mo did not deal with them immediately. The short youth posed no danger to him but the man in a black robe had a strong aura. Su Mo could not make out his cultivation level yet.

He intended to wait and see how Ling Chang was doing before he took action.

Under the ancient tree.

When the man in a black robe saw Ling Chang, he walked cautiously around her.

“Hoho, that’s great!” The man in a black robe laughed in his husky voice. Apparently, he was elated.

Ling Chang sat down and stared coldly at him.

“Who are you? Why did you plot against me?” Ling Chang asked coldly. She did not seem flustered or afraid.

“It is not important who I am. Since you have been poisoned by the Archean Deadly Poison, you no longer have the strength to resist me.” The man in a black robe said with a smile.

He was confident. Any top power who had been poisoned by the Archean Deadly Poison would be like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

The name of the Archean Deadly Poison was known as Overcome Adversity. Although the name sounded good, the effect was deadly.

The man in a black robe had obtained the poison in a relic at the Ancient Region.

During the Primordial Age, when the high-ranking martial artists heard of the Archean Deadly Poison, they would become frightened.

The poison would cut off the connection between the Spiritual Soul and the Sage Pill, the Spiritual Soul and Qi and blood, and the Spiritual Soul and the Fighting Soul.

That is to say, once a person had been poisoned by the Archean Deadly Poison, his Sage Pill, Blood Force, and Fighting Soul would become useless.

Since the three could not connect with the Spiritual Soul, one would not be able to activate them.

The person who had been poisoned had lost his power.

“What do you want?” Ling Chang asked coldly as she sat still. Although she looked calm, she was gritting her teeth with anger deep within her.

She had been in seclusion to break through to the Empty God Realm. However, just as she had been about to succeed, she had been poisoned.

She was in seclusion at Shang Qing Palace. The Dawn Stones that she needed had been supplied by Shang Qing Palace. In other words, they had been handled by the short youth.

She did not expect the short youth to fiddle with the Dawn Stones.

She was angry and anxious at the same time.

100,000 years ago, she had heard of the Archean Deadly Poison but she had not seen it before.

After all, the poison had been lost after the Primordial Age.

Now that she had been poisoned by it, her Spiritual Soul had lost connection with the Sage Pill, Qi and blood, and Fighting Soul.

However, she was confident in neutralizing it but she needed time to do so.

She might need two hours, four hours, or even longer.

Ling Chang hoped to delay the time for as long as she could.

“Don’t worry, I am kind to women, especially powerful and beautiful women like you!”

The man in a black robe said. He knew Ling Chang’s secret and he was determined to get it.

One year ago, he had seen her displaying a powerful secret weapon to kill a Rank 4 Empty God.

It was incredible for a King Sage to kill a Rank 4 Empty God.

Other than him, no one else knew about it.

He had spent a long period of time checking on Ling Chang’s whereabouts.

If he could get his hands on the secret weapon, he would soon be able to rule over God’s Path.

Moreover, Ling Chang possessed the Pure Yin Body and she would be useful to him.

“You are digging your own grave.” Ling Chang said coldly. Once she regained her strength, she would crush him.

She was a Supreme Being but she had been plotted by a nobody. That was a great humiliation to her.

She was not afraid. She still a had trump card. She would use it if she did not have a choice.

However, she would have to pay a high price for using the trump card, so she would not use it unless necessary.

“Can you give me my rewards?”

The short youth, who was by the side, looked at the man in a black robe and asked anxiously.

He was not concerned with how the man would be dealing with Ling Chang. After all, Ling Chang would be killed. He was more concerned with his rewards.

“Rewards?”

When the man in a black robe heard what the short youth had said, he curled his lips into an evil smile. No one had ever obtained any benefit from him.

“Don’t worry. I will give you your rewards!”

The man in a black robe laughed. He waved his sleeve and wanted to put Ling Chang into the Spacial Device before killing the short youth.

At that moment, something strange happened.

There was a fluctuation in the space and a huge, powerful hand suddenly came out of the forest and caught hold of Ling Chang.
