Chapter 1310 Night Probe
Chapter 1310 Night Probe
The banquet in the Southern Expedition Palace would last for three days. Perhaps this was the final revelry of the early stages of the Endless Forest Journey.
The Southern Expedition King's intention was to capture a rank five demon, the World Exterminating Demon, and give it to the Emperor of Canghai.
The World Devastating Demon was a symbol of power and authority. Only the Southern Conquest King would dare to think about such a grand ceremony.
It was just that it was extremely difficult to capture a rank five demon, but the Southern Conquest King said that he was confident, so there was no need for everyone to worry.
After three days of revelry, tired people could go back to their guest rooms to rest at any time, while more people chose to stay and drink loudly for three days and nights without rest.
The residence was very large, with countless monasteries that were reserved for powerful martial artists and guests.
Xiang Nan was not interested in this kind of banquet. After tasting the various colors of wine, he returned.
Because Xiang Nan's identity was extraordinary, the manor arranged for him to live alone in a courtyard. The courtyard was neither big nor small, and it was quite elegant. It had wooden tables and chairs, and fresh melons, fruits, pears, and peaches were replaced on the table every day.
The room was a two-story wooden building. The first floor was the study room and the chess room, while the second floor was the bedroom.
Waves of cool night wind blew over, making Xiang Nan feel refreshed.
The density of spiritual energy in this world was ten times higher than in his own world. Even if a martial artist did not take the initiative to cultivate, his cultivation would slowly increase under the immersion of spiritual energy.
"We're about to return to the Endless Forest." Xiang Nan picked up a cup of sober tea and said, "Big Snake, you need to be prepared this time and comprehend the whereabouts of the World Exterminating Divine Lightning in advance, because we are not sure if His Highness will follow the same path as us."
The eight-eyed serpent said, "Don't worry, leave it to me. At the worst, we will be separated from the Wang Clan halfway."
"Mm" Xiang Nan nodded in deep thought.
Relying on the route of the people in the palace, he could at least guarantee that he would be safe and sound in the early stages of the journey. However, the most important thing was to investigate the later stages of the journey.
Even though he might not continue walking with His Highness after he reached the middle of the road, it was still good to ask the spies in the palace to figure out the route he was going to take, so as to avoid accidentally entering the territory of a rank five demon.
The Endless Forest was enormous. Xiang Nan believed that there would definitely be more than one gathering place for rank five demons. It was very likely that there would be more than one, or even dozens or hundreds of them.
If they crashed into the territory of a rank six demon, there would be no life or death.
Just as he was thinking, Xiang Nan suddenly felt dizzy.
"Poisoned?" Xiang Nan supported the table and couldn't help but frown.
He thought to himself that he had been destroyed by Old Man Mo Ling like that. After consuming all kinds of poisonous herbs, poisonous pills, and poisonous pills, he had already cultivated to the point of being invulnerable to all poisons. Ordinary poisonous pills had no effect on him at all.
Now that he could actually feel dizzy, it meant that the poison he had eaten was no small matter.
"Who poisoned me?" Xiang Nan thought about it carefully. There were many suspects, but he was not sure who they were.
"That person must be an expert in using poison. He can actually hide it from you." The big snake said.
Xiang Nan tilted his head slightly and said, "Let's first see what kind of poison he was infected with."
After saying that, Xiang Nan bit his fingertips and squeezed out a drop of blood. He sniffed carefully and said, "Fragrance!"
After discovering that it was an incense stick, Xiang Nan felt slightly relieved. At the very least, the person who poisoned him was not trying to kill him.
The serpent said, "Since it is the incense, then the person who poisoned you is likely to come tonight. You might as well pretend to be poisoned and see who is plotting against you."
Xiang Nan said, "This person uses poisonous methods and is very smart. If I pretend to be unconscious and can definitely be seen by him, then it would be better to pretend to be real."
Thinking of this, Xiang Nan took a deep breath and forcefully pushed the poison into his body.
This poison was very powerful, but it was still not enough to knock Xiang Nan out. Only Xiang Nan could use his Astral Qi to help him with the [Incense Mist].
When Xiang Nan felt dizzy and was about to faint, he immediately lay on the bed and circulated his Spirit Traveling Technique to get his consciousness out of his body.
Later, Xiang Nan's true body fell into a shallow coma, while Xiang Nan's consciousness floated by the bed and waited quietly.
The night was getting deeper and deeper.
At this moment, there were still three hours left before dawn. This was the darkest part of the day.
In the courtyard, there was a slight noise, as if a cool breeze was blowing for no reason.
Immediately after, the breeze blew into the bedroom through the window. Looking again, there were already three more people beside Xiang Nan's bed.
"It's her?" Xiang Nan was surprised.
The one standing beside the bed was none other than Holy Maiden Five Lotus.
Holy Maiden Five Lotus stood in the middle. There were two women on her left and right. One was dressed in Qing Qun, while the other was dressed in a red dress.
Xiang Nan had never seen these two unfamiliar women before, and he did not know where they suddenly appeared.
As for the two women, they were obviously people from the martial arts world. Their appearances were only inferior to Holy Maiden Five Lotus, but their realms were extremely high. It seemed that the two women were young, but they had already reached the third level of the Divine Martial Arts realm.
"Is that him?" The green-clothed woman looked at Xiang Nan on the bed and asked softly.
The Holy Maiden nodded.
The woman in red said, "Is there no problem? You said that he is an expert at the first level of the Divine Martial Arts. Your Ecstasy really works?"
The Holy Maiden said confidently, "Don't worry, this Ecstasy was personally taught to me by our master. Not to mention the first level of the Divine Martial Arts, even the third and fourth levels of the Divine Martial Arts. Once you drink it, you can also stay unconscious for ten hours."
As she spoke, the Holy Maiden picked up Xiang Nan's huge saber from the bedside. Her eyes lit up and she said, "This is the saber!"
"Haha, this Xiang's background isn't small. There are nearly ten Tier 5 Magic Crystals mixed into a weapon. What a huge sum of money."
The woman in red urged, "Hurry up and see if he has any other magic crystals."
The Holy Maiden nodded. She first opened Xiang Nan's chest, then bit her index finger and drew a strange formation on Xiang Nan's chest with her green onion finger.
Then, she took out a large piece of parchment and covered the blood mark on Xiang Nan's chest.
When he took off the parchment, Xiang Nan's chest and the parchment had exactly the same blood mark.
The Holy Maiden cut the parchment into the shape of a small person. She laid the small person flat on the ground, then formed a seal with her hands. She lightly hooked her index finger and said, "White Lotus Puppet Technique, rise!"
Xiang Nan suddenly felt a surge of spiritual energy intervening in his body, directly controlling his body to act.
Sure enough, the paper man on the ground sat up, and Xiang Nan on the bed also sat up.
The Holy Maiden waved her fingers again, as if she was pulling a puppet with a string. She manipulated the paper man to perform a series of actions, causing Xiang Nan's body to perform exactly the same actions.
Xiang Nan raised his arm and opened his storage ring.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan's heart stirred slightly. His consciousness was still there, and he could still control his body and compete with the Holy Maiden for the initiative.
However, Xiang Nan expected that the Holy Maiden only wanted magic crystals, so he also planned to wait and see what would happen, not to tear her apart first.
However, when his physical body poured out the things in the storage ring, Xiang Nan also intervened in his physical body, controlling his physical body so that he could pour out a portion of the items. Among them, there was only a Fifth Grade Magic Crystal.
