Chapter 185 Gu Shaoan's Other Trump Card (Third update, please support with monthly tickets!)

Seeing Gu Santong pointing at him repeatedly, Gu Shaoan said irritably, "Don't worry! It's just to temporarily silence you, senior! Time is short, I'll speak, and you'll listen."

Seeing this, Gu Santong lowered his hand, but his face was still somewhat dark.

Ignoring this, Gu Shaoan continued, "After I leave, Senior, please circulate your true essence to refine the medicinal power within your body, while silently counting the time."

"After half an hour, I will surely have a way to lure Zhu Wushi away. At that time, you can break free of these chains and escape in the southwest direction."

"Twenty miles southwest of the Dragon Guard Manor, there is a forest adjacent to the official road. At the top of a tree, I have tied a red rope. If you jump up to the tree, you will find the clothes I have prepared and two medicine bottles, one containing liquid medicine and the other containing pills."

"After taking the pills in the medicine bottle, you can shorten your body by three inches. After applying the liquid to your face, you can change your appearance."

"Then the senior continued forward, bypassing the lake ahead, and turned south. A hundred miles away was Linshan City. After entering the city, they met at the Linshan Inn in the south of the city."

Gu Santong: "Aba aba ah?"

But the voice that came out of his mouth changed again. Gu Santong's eyelids twitched, and then he used his strength to leave the words "Where is my son?" on the ground.

Gu Shaoan replied, "I knocked him unconscious five days ago, and then asked a security escort agency in the capital to secretly transport him to the territory of the Wudang Sect, and asked the agency to take care of him temporarily."

"After we go to Tianshan to save Suxin, we will turn back to pick her up."

Gu Shaoan had already arrived in the capital in early March.

The past month has been almost entirely spent preparing for today's events.

The purpose is to ensure that my trip today will be foolproof.

Seeing how meticulously Gu Shaoan had arranged things, Gu Santong looked at Gu Shaoan with surprise, then gave him a thumbs up: "Aba, aba aba."

Gu Shaoan ignored Gu Santong and told him about the guard situation he had noticed on his way down from the prison.

Upon hearing what Gu Shaoan had to say, even Gu Santong's eyes flickered slightly.

Looking at Gu Shaoan, she was genuinely surprised.

Clearly, they hadn't expected Gu Shaoan to have considered things so meticulously.

Having achieved his goal, Gu Shaoan didn't linger any longer and turned to head towards the passage.

Seeing Gu Shaoan leave so abruptly, Gu Santong pointed to his mouth in astonishment and babbled twice.

But Gu Shaoan didn't turn his head back, which made Gu Santong so angry that he gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.

He could only draw the true essence that had spread to the surroundings back into his body, and as Gu Shaoan had instructed, he used the true essence to refine the medicinal power within his body while silently counting the time.

As for whether Gu Shaoan could do it, Gu Santong didn't consider it.

For the ancient three-way system at present, there are no other options.

We can only trust Gu Shaoan.

As Gu Shaoan entered the passage, Zhu Wushi, who had just closed his eyes, slowly opened them, his gaze slightly suspicious.

Shangguan Haitang and the others also showed some surprise, seemingly not expecting Gu Shaoan to return so quickly.

Gu Shaoan had previously told Zhu Wushi that he would be staying in the nineteenth level of the prison for half an hour.

However, the time from when Gu Shaoan passed through the passage and entered the nineteenth floor was only about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

It was almost half the time Gu Shaoan had mentioned before.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Something was amiss, and Shangguan Haitang couldn't help but use her inner energy to transmit her voice, "Godfather, should I go in and check on him later?"

Zhu Wushi remained expressionless, but his voice rang in Shangguan Haitang's ears.

“The person inside is no ordinary person. Even I wouldn’t dare say I could subdue him without a scratch. This person alone could not possibly affect the person inside.”

As Gu Shaoan approached, Zhu Wushi glanced once more at the cardamom pod that Gu Shaoan was holding between two fingers of his left hand. Without saying a word, he turned around and walked step by step toward the steps.

Shangguan Haitang, Duan Tianya, and Guihai Yidao waited for Gu Shaoan to walk past them before following behind him.

This was clearly to prevent Gu Shaoan from escaping.

Gu Shaoan remained unconcerned and continued to maintain a distance of one zhang from Zhu Wushi.

Faced with the silent Zhu Wushi, Gu Shaoan admired Zhu Wushi's composure.

Even though she cared a lot about it, she managed to hold back from asking.

Gu Shaoan maintained the flow of true energy between his fingers, but in his mind he was constantly keeping track of the numbers.

As Gu Shaoan entered the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Prison from the nineteenth level, his chin suddenly lifted slightly as he was walking normally.

His eyes squinted for a moment without his noticing.

Gu Shaoan noticed that several cells that had previously held prisoners were now empty.

Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, several cells on the eighteenth floor of the prison were empty, and Gu Shaoan knew exactly what was going on.

Upon entering the seventeenth level of the Heavenly Prison, Gu Shaoan found, just like before, that several cells that had just been used to hold prisoners were now empty.

It wasn't until the twelfth floor that the number of people in each cell was the same as when Gu Shaoan entered.

Quietly withdrawing his gaze, Gu Shaoan continued to follow behind Zhu Wushi as if nothing had happened.

After leaving the prison, Zhu Wushi, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.

"As agreed, I have already sent you to the nineteenth level of the Heavenly Prison. Now, it's your turn."

Gu Shaoan smiled and reached into his pocket with his right hand, first taking out a dozen small paper packets about an inch in size and handing them to Shangguan Haitang.

"Miss Shangguan, could you please help me carry this?"

Seemingly surprised that Gu Shaoan had carried so many medicine packets in his pocket, Shangguan Haitang paused for a moment, then subconsciously raised both hands to receive the small paper packets that Gu Shaoan handed over.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Shaoan did the same thing again, throwing a handful of small paper packets into the hands of Gui Haiyi and Duan Tianya.

Each paper package has a number written in ink on its surface.

He then took out several bottles of pills from his pocket.

Shangguan Haitang and the others had noticed that Gu Shaoan's arms were a bit bulging, but they didn't expect him to be carrying so many small paper packets.

Immediately afterwards, after Gu Shaoan took out several bottles of pills from his pocket, he gently tossed them with his left hand, and the Heavenly Fragrance Beans landed in Zhu Wushi's hand.

At the same time, Gu Shaoan's voice slowly rang out.

"After I arrive at the edge of the woods three miles outside the Dragon Guard Manor, I will naturally tell you which packet contains the antidote."

Shangguan Haitang frowned and said, "What if we discover there's a problem with the antidote after you leave?"

Gu Shaoan laughed and said, "The Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom is already in the hands of the Divine Marquis. Even if I destroy it, it will not bring me any benefit. Why would I do such a thing and offend the Divine Marquis for no reason?"

"If that still doesn't work, then I have no other choice. I can't very well eat this Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom to determine its authenticity, can I?"

Zhu Wushi remained silent in response to Gu Shaoan's words, simply looking at Gu Shaoan calmly.

Gu Shaoan met his gaze with the same calm expression, appearing remarkably open and honest.

A moment later, Zhu Wushi, holding the Heavenly Fragrance Bean, once again lifted his foot and headed towards the entrance of the Dragon Guard Manor.

At this moment, Zhu Wushi's face had become somewhat gloomy.

Clearly, even with Zhu Wushi's composure, he was starting to lose his composure in the face of being repeatedly manipulated. A quarter of an hour later, in the woods three miles outside the Dragon Guard Manor, just as Gu Shaoan arrived, a peculiar scent suddenly wafted into his nostrils.

Almost instantly, Gu Shaoan realized that there were now some things in the forest that shouldn't have been there.

"I knew it wouldn't be that easy."

Just as Gu Shaoan noticed something amiss, Zhu Wushi spoke in a deep voice, "We've reached the edge of the woods. Can you speak now?"

Gu Shaoan smiled, then his gaze fell on Shangguan Haitang's hands.

The medicine packet with the character "玖" on it contains the antidote.

Upon hearing this, he quickly looked down at the paper package in his hand.

Soon, Shangguan Haitang found the medicine packet with the character "玖" on it in her hand.

Duan Tianya asked, "What did you just say was the secret about Tianxiang Doukou?"

Gu Shaoan said, "After taking the first Tianxiang Doukou, the user will fall into a coma, but the internal injuries will be stabilized. After taking the second one, the user will slowly wake up, but the user must take the third one within a year. Otherwise, the internal organs will gradually fail and the user will die."

"Therefore, if the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom I have is only the second one, and before I find the third Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom, it would be best for you, Divine Marquis, not to use it recklessly, lest you do more harm than good."

Zhu Wushi said in a deep voice, "Is this true?"

"nature!"

"May I ask, Lord Divine Lord, may we leave now?"

When Gu Shaoan asked the question, Shangguan Haitang and the others all looked at Zhu Wushi.

Zhu Wushi glanced at Shangguan Haitang and the other two, and said in a deep voice, "You can leave now, but if I find any problems with this medicine, I guarantee that you will never have a place to stay in the world again."

Gu Shaoan pretended to be confused and said, "I naturally believe that the Divine Marquis has such ability."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Shaoan lightly touched the ground with his feet and rushed towards the woods ahead.

Just as his body was about to enter the forest, Gu Shaoan, whose body was suspended in mid-air, suddenly turned his head and smiled at Zhu Wushi, raising his right hand.

To Zhu Wushi and the others' attention, there was a Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom between the index and middle fingers of Gu Shaoan's right hand.

Instantly, Zhu Wushi's eyes narrowed.

"He even has Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom?"

Zhu Wushi suddenly felt as if a red-hot iron had been thrown into the ancient pool that had been silent for decades, and a thunderous explosion resounded in his skull.

That thing, weathered by time, enveloped by layers of iron-fisted power, and almost turned into a fossil of obsession, now lay so vividly in Gu Shaoan's palm.

It was upon seeing the third Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom in Gu Shaoan's hand that Zhu Wushi's last shred of composure vanished in an instant.

"boom!"

Like a volcano dormant for millions of years suddenly erupting, Zhu Wuwei's dormant true essence was like a boundless powder keg ignited, pure, boundless, and terrifying energy containing the power to destroy cities and countries, completely detonating in his limbs, bones, and meridians.

As Zhu Wushi took a step forward, the ground suddenly collapsed, creating a pit nearly ten feet in size.

On the other hand, Zhu Wushi streaked through the air like a comet, rushing towards Gu Shaoan.

In the blink of an eye, he had already covered ten zhang and was rushing towards Gu Shaoan.

The moment Zhu Wushi moved, Duan Tianya, Guihai Yidao, and Shangguan Haitang were slightly stunned, but they all used their lightness skills to rush towards Gu Shaoan.

Sensing the movement behind him, Gu Shaoan's speed also increased dramatically, and he moved like a shadow, quickly tearing through the air as he continued to rush into the forest.

However, even though Gu Shaoan had already increased his speed to the maximum, the distance between him and Zhu Wushi was still decreasing at an extremely rapid pace.

In less than three breaths, the distance between Zhu Wushi and Gu Shaoan was reduced to a mere five zhang.

"Ok?"

However, at that moment, three surprised and doubtful voices emerged almost simultaneously from behind Zhu Wushi.

Before Zhu Wushi could turn around to check, he suddenly felt that half of the vast true energy within his body had vanished into thin air in an instant.

The unusual nature of the true essence caused Zhu Wushi's body, which had been rapidly tearing through the air, to suddenly stiffen and freeze for a moment.

The sudden change startled Zhu Wushi, causing his forward momentum to slow abruptly, and he slid another ten feet before landing on the ground.

The moment his feet touched the ground, Zhu Wushi felt as if his legs were bound by something invisible. Even when his true essence circulated to his legs, the speed of its circulation suddenly slowed down by more than ten times.

Turning his head to look, Zhu Wushi was shocked to find that Shangguan Haitang, Duan Tianya, and Guihai Yidao were all in the same situation as him.

Although the three could still move towards him using their light-footed skills, their speed suddenly dropped drastically.

Zhu Wushi suddenly looked up at Gu Shaoan, only to find that Gu Shaoan had stopped at some point, with a clear smile on his lips.

When did you poison him?

The voice was sharp and cold, like scraping bone and piercing marrow, yet it carried a hint of obvious surprise.

Gu Shaoan's fingers caressed the Tianxiang cardamom, "When?" Gu Shaoan's voice trailed off with a hint of teasing.

His gaze then fell upon Shangguan Haitang.

"Of course, from the moment Miss Shangguan received the note!"

Gu Shaoan never liked to do things he wasn't sure of.

The gentleman does not stand under the wall.

Knowing Zhu Wushi's strength and character, why would anyone willingly deliver themselves to Zhu Wushi without some preparation?

Admittedly, Gu Shaoan's current strength is far inferior to Zhu Wushi's.

However, in addition to his strength, Gu Shaoan also possesses medical skills that have reached the level of a grandmaster.

This is Gu Shaoan's other trump card.

Since ancient times, medicine and toxicology have been inseparable.

Having master-level medical skills means that Gu Shaoan can also concoct various poisons.

For example, at this moment, Zhu ignored the "Binding Wind Silk" that had been placed on the group.

This poison is ineffective against ordinary people; it is specifically designed to target martial artists.

When toxins enter the body, they do not immediately cause symptoms.

Instead, it needs to be guided by the fragrance of white lilac flowers.

Once the fragrance enters the body, the toxins will silently seep into the eight extraordinary meridians.

Once a martial artist's true energy circulates through their eight extraordinary meridians, the toxins will immediately erupt.

Those who are poisoned will have most of their internal energy sealed within two hours, and when they are poisoned, it is as if invisible silk ribbons are binding their feet.

No matter how skilled you are in light-footed movement techniques, they will be greatly diminished under the influence of this poison.

Unless one has the ability to identify medicine by its scent, like Gu Shaoan.

Otherwise, even a martial artist at the Celestial Realm would find it difficult to detect anything unusual before the poison takes effect.

　Have you all forgotten that the protagonist can also concoct poisons? We were stuck on the name of a poison for a full twenty minutes!
