Chapter 427: Poisoned

What!?

An older woman, an Elder wearing a shawl made of blue scales, nearly leapt to her feet and yelled at the guard. She rushed forward and grabbed the mans shoulders, Where is he?The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.

Hes being carried to the Medicine Hall.

Immediately, the woman ran out of the room. Her speed caught everyone off guard and the group of guards were thrown onto their sides. A loud boom of thunder filled the room while the womans form was suddenly covered in crackling lightning bolts. Like shed become one, she disappeared from the room in a flash, her fading silhouette the only thing left as her extreme speed seemed to leave a mirage, an afterimage, in her wake. The other five Elders were left in varying degrees of consternation, instantly forgetting about the meeting they were already having. They completely ignored Huifang and rushed out of the hall, leaving Sage, Songji, and Huifang to stand there alone. After a moment, Huifang steadied herself. Both Sage and Songji were unsure what to do next. Sage was actually trying to decide if now was the perfect time to ditch Huifang, when the woman in question finally spoke.

Xuelong is the Dian Clans most promising Disciple. He was supposed to be on a secret mission for the Thundercloud Sect. The Elder that rushed out first is named Xuemeigui, Xuelong is her Great Grandson.

Sage found the response reasonable after Huifang explained. It also brought a smile to his lips. He nodded and then waved for the two to follow. Leading the way out of the room, he only had to watch for a second before seeing multiple people running in the same direction. He walked calmly in the same direction as them, quickly realizing they were all heading towards the Thundercloud Sect and up the path at the front of the mountain. Most mountains had a higher energy density than other places. Sage wasnt sure if it was the closeness to the sky, the reduced air density, or things inside the mountains and rocks themselves, but it led to them being the most popular place for Sects to lay down roots. It also helped that there was some beautiful scenery to see from atop them.

It didnt take a genius to realize that the Medicine Hall was a place in the Thundercloud Sect and as they neared the gate, Sage asked a question of Huifang, Are you permitted into the Sect? Do you know a way we can get in?

I was never a Disciple of the Sect, so I am not permitted. Why do you want to get in?

Sage smiled, thinking to himself: So its Blood Rose, Bone Brain, and Blue Smoke. Quite a lineup.

Uncle Rong continued, They would like to know

The woman, Xuemeigui interrupted him, How are you going to cure him? Tell us?

As theyd just made introductions, Sage bowed to them, Greetings, esteemed ones. I am Lang Sheng and as I told Elder Rong, I have reached the third degree of the Major Law of Poison. I also studied under a Poison Master so I have some understanding of them. I cannot guarantee anything, but I would like to help.

Being poisoned by one hundreds of times counts as studying, right?

The three important figures immediately lost their expectant gazes and then nodded. They were hoping to find some secret master, but his introduction sounded more like something a trainee would say. Even so, they didnt turn him away and the Sect Elder Chang Lanyan waved a hand to someone near the bed. Almost instantly the person hed waved to said something and started politely shoo-ing the other people out of the room. In only a few moments a large space was cleared around the bed. Sage was singled out and Elder Chang brought Sage over to help him with a diagnosis. Songi and Huifang were led over to where the others were, with Xuemeigui straying the farthest from the group, trying to inch closer and closer to the bed at every moment.

Unfortunately for the Doctor, Sage was not an Orthodox Poison Master. He didnt create his own poisons, nor did he know any of their formulas. No matter how detailed their examination of Xuelong was, Sage still had no idea what type of poison hed been exposed to. As the examination continued, Sage leaned closer to Chang Lanyan and whispered to him, Can we clear the room completely?

The condition was not too uncommon among the medical trade, so Lanyan agreed, sending another order to that same person from before. Just as efficiently as they had worked earlier, the room was soon empty and the door closed. Chang Lanyan then walked over to the door and activated a Formation Array that was carved into it and finally turned back towards Sage, Alright, out with it. Do you need to undress Xuelong or is there some foul play at work?
