Night.
As Ye Cangtian's devouring continued, all the poisons on Duggu Changfeng's body were finally absorbed, and a layer of light enveloped Duggu Changfeng.
This proved that Duggu Changfeng's body could now absorb the Nine Revolutions Revival Pill on its own.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian breathed a sigh of relief.
If he had been a moment later, the poison would have infiltrated his heart, and even an immortal could not have saved him.
"Ling'er, although the elder's poison has been cleared, it's not over yet!"
"Most of the elder's wounds have festered. If this rotten flesh is not removed, it will still be life-threatening, so..."
Hearing Ye Cangtian's voice, Duggu Ling immediately understood.
She quickly said, "Brother Ye, I will arrange for someone to cut away the rotten flesh from my father immediately."
Ye Cangtian nodded slowly, that was his intention.
Although he had the ability to devour, he knew little about medicine and was afraid of injuring other parts while removing the rotten flesh.
So it was better to leave these matters to the Duggu family; at least it would be more reliable than him doing it himself.
Seeing that Duggu Ling had made arrangements, Ye Cangtian quickly took out some detoxification pills and handed them to Duggu Ling.
These pills were refined by Ye Cangtian at the request of Yao Bao'er earlier to deal with the Five Poisons Sect. He and Yao Bao'er each kept half of the batch, storing them separately.
Therefore, he still had a considerable stock.
"Ling'er, here are some detoxification pills. Distribute them, they might be of some use!"
"If the poisoning is too severe and there's no other way, you can send them to me..."
Duggu Ling immediately nodded gratefully and then went out.
As Ye Cangtian instructed, she distributed the pills and gathered the severely poisoned individuals.
She understood that if the poisoning was too severe, detoxification pills alone might not be enough.
Not long after, Duggu Ling returned to the room and reported the situation to Ye Cangtian.
Most people's poisoning symptoms had significantly eased, and the toxins in their bodies were being cleared bit by bit.
However, there were still over a dozen people who showed no improvement. After investigation, it was found that these people had all fought with the poisonous corpses.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian did not hesitate and walked out of the room to remove the poisons from those disciples one by one.
...
Martial City Inn.
Amidst the clamor, the people from the Blazing Fire Courtyard finally discovered the note left by Dongfang Mingyue and handed it to Yuan Biao.
Looking at the handwriting that read 'Out to visit friends, will return tomorrow,' Yuan Biao's expression turned grim.
What was this, leaving only a note!
It was as if she didn't take him seriously at all!
Thinking this, Yuan Biao fell silent. After a while, a smile appeared on his face, and he deduced Dongfang Mingyue's destination.
Besides the hidden organization's branch in Martial City, they could only go to the Duggu family!
After all, the Duggu family had a very close relationship with the hidden organization. As someone living in the southern region, how could the Blazing Fire Courtyard not know this!
"Hmph!"
What development could there be from interacting with a small family like the Duggu family!
Thinking this, Yuan Biao instructed his subordinates to rest for the time being.
For him, as long as he guessed the other party's whereabouts and they returned on time, it was enough.
He had no intention of searching for them.
He knew very well that as long as any force had the slightest connection with the Blazing Fire Courtyard, other forces would flock to curry favor.
This would be equivalent to building momentum for the Duggu family!
And a small family like the Duggu family was simply not worthy of any interaction with his Blazing Fire Courtyard!
...
A ray of morning sunlight fell.
A figure furtively approached the outside of the Sword Tomb. Seeing that everything was as usual, he began to walk towards the Sword Tomb.
After a short while, he arrived in front of the teleportation array.
The next moment, he took a deep breath and walked directly into the teleportation array.
"Uh..."
However, when he teleported to the interior of the Sword Tomb, he was stunned. Originally, countless flying swords should have attacked him instantly, and he should have been in a panicked retreat.
But this scene did not appear. All the flying swords were inserted silently into the ground, showing no intention of attacking.
The next moment, an excited expression appeared on his face. To be safe, he tested it again, and the result was still the same.
It seemed that the energy of the Sword Tomb had been depleted.
Thinking this, the man did not test further. After all, the Sword Tomb was not large, and if he was discovered by the other party, it would be disastrous.
So he chose to return the way he came to deliver the message.
As soon as the man left the Sword Tomb, a figure in the shadows flickered towards the manor.
Not long after, the figure arrived before Duggu Ling and Ye Cangtian.
"Miss Ling'er, the people from the Five Poisons Sect have arrived..."
Duggu Ling nodded, signaling the other party to go down and continue monitoring.
After the other party left, Duggu Ling turned to Ye Cangtian and said, "Brother Ye, I believe it won't be long before the Five Poisons Sect attacks. Do you think we can win?"
Even with Ye Cangtian and Dongfang Mingyue present, Duggu Ling still lacked confidence.
After all, the people of the Duggu family had only had their poisons removed, and their injuries had not improved much, leaving their combat power very limited.
It should be known that within the entire Sword Tomb, including Ye Cangtian and Dongfang Mingyue, there were fewer than ten people capable of fighting.
Compared to the Five Poisons Sect, these numbers were clearly too few.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian showed a confident smile and said, "Don't worry. If the Five Poisons Sect comes today, I guarantee they will never return!"
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian took out more antidote pills and handed them to Duggu Ling.
"These are antidote pills, and their effect is better than those of the Duggu family. Distribute them first, in case of emergency..."
Dongfang Mingyue nodded at this and quickly distributed them.
As expected, less than two hours later, figures began to appear within the Sword Tomb's teleportation gate.
Leading them was a ferocious-looking old man. Half of his aged face was disfigured, but he did not choose to wear a mask, leaving it exposed.
It looked exceptionally terrifying.
And from the dark green skull embroidery on his chest, it could be seen that he was likely an elder from the Five Poisons Sect headquarters.
Behind him were disciples from the five halls of the Five Poisons Sect, with an average of over 20 people per hall, totaling nearly a hundred.
"Hahaha, the formation has indeed disappeared. It seems the Duggu family's time is up..."
As the old man arrived at the Sword Tomb, he burst into laughter.
With no flying swords attacking them, there could only be one explanation: the energy of the Duggu family's Sword Tomb had been depleted.
After all, they had besieged the Duggu family, and the latter would not dare to deactivate the sword formation.
The next moment, the old man's laughter stopped. He turned to the disciples of the Five Poisons Sect and said loudly, "Boys, you've been holding back for days, eager, haven't you! Today, you can slaughter to your heart's content."
"But there's one thing you must remember: try to leave the Duggu family's young lady and those relatively skilled experts with intact corpses..."
After speaking, the old man pointed his hand towards the manor and uttered a chilling word, "Kill."
In an instant, the disciples of the Five Poisons Sect swarmed towards the manor.
In their eyes, the Duggu family was already at the end of its tether and could not withstand their attack.
Therefore, they had to fight with all their might, otherwise, the Duggu family members might not even fall into their hands, and the credit would go to others.
Watching the disciples of the Five Poisons Sect rush forward madly, the old man showed a triumphant smile.
Fortunately, he had come this time and brought the Poisonous Corpse King. Without this, it would have been truly difficult to destroy the Duggu family.
In fact, the Five Poisons Sect had not expected the Duggu family to be so formidable; it was only after repeated failures that they had been thoroughly awakened!
And this time, if they were to fail again, the Five Poisons Sect would likely have to consider giving up.
After all, even the Poisonous Corpse King had suffered a setback, and the Five Poisons Sect would have no strength left to destroy the Duggu family.
However, from the looks of it, these were all unnecessary; today, no matter what, the Duggu family could not escape this catastrophe!
However, the next moment, the smile on the old man's face gradually froze. The disciples who had already entered the manor, for some unknown reason, cautiously retreated.
Most importantly, these disciples' bodies were trembling slightly, which confused him greatly.
"Damn it, what's going on, why did you stop!"
While roaring angrily, the old man quickened his pace and walked over.
