Chapter 255 The Immortal Master who killed his wife to prove his truth
Su Lan couldn't help but sneer after hearing Cang Yi's words. A trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, and she slowly said, "Ha, Junior Brother, I'm afraid you must be joking. You are all cultivators, possessing powerful spiritual power and strong physiques. You are not comparable to those mortals with fragile flesh. I just haven't been able to get over my father's death recently, and I'm just upset."
Su Lan didn't even raise her eyes. With an indifferent look on her face, she reached out and pushed the man who was walking towards her away, then walked to the position that should have belonged to her without looking around.
She then bowed deeply to the four elders and said softly, "These days, I'm grateful to you elders for managing the sect's affairs for me. I know I may have disappointed everyone a little recently, but from now on, I will use practical actions to prove my ability. I hope you will supervise me."
Hearing this, the four elders looked at Su Lan with different expressions, as if they were curious about her changes.
"Alan, you are not suitable yet..." Cang Yi was not satisfied that his puppet wife dared to resist him in public. However, before he could finish his words, a ball of spiritual power rushed towards his face like a gust of wind.
Cang Yi, also in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, was caught off guard by the blow and flew out of the meeting hall, looking utterly miserable. He stood up angrily, ready to return to the meeting hall to question Su Lan, but his face quickly replaced with a gentle smile.
"Alan, why are you so irritable today?"
Cang Yi was about to step back into the meeting hall when the door slammed shut. At the same time, Su Lan's icy voice rang out from inside: "I'm currently discussing matters with the elders. It's not convenient for Junior Brother Cang Yi to be here. Please leave on your own."
Could it be that he had given her too much medicine, causing Su Lan's temper to change so drastically? Cang Yi's heart was filled with doubts and worries, and he kept pondering the reasons.
Despite his doubts, he decided to leave the depressing meeting hall first. He wanted to go find his good friend Liu Ying, the Thousand-Eyed Poison Doctor who helped him prepare the medicine, hoping to find some answers or get some help from him.
At this moment, the meeting hall seemed shrouded in a thick haze, plunging into a deathly silence. Su Lan sat there quietly, a hint of anticipation in her eyes. She wanted to see how these usually solemn and dignified elders would react to the original owner.
After all, before the original owner died, they had never given up on letting Su Lan take the position of acting sect leader. This was enough to show that there was some special connection between them and the original owner. Perhaps they were also the people Su Han trusted the most.
The Great Elder was the first to break the suffocating silence. He laughed out loud, and his laughter seemed to contain a complex emotion. "It's good that Alan has this determination. The spirit of the Sect Master in heaven can rest in peace." There was a hint of relief in his words, as if he saw the potential and hope in Su Lan.
However, the second elder's face was full of disdain. He snorted coldly and turned his head away, "Hmph, who knows if this is just a sudden whim of hers. Today she says she wants to work hard, but tomorrow she might follow behind Cang Yi like before, without any opinion of her own." His words were full of sarcasm and doubt, expressing doubt about Su Lan's ability and determination.
The Third and Fourth Elders also shook their heads, their faces showing an embarrassment. They clearly did not trust Su Lan and had reservations about her ability to take on the position of Acting Sect Leader. They looked at each other, a hint of hesitation flashing in their eyes, as if they were considering how to deal with the situation.
"All the elders have watched me grow up. I hope you can trust me a little more. This time, I will definitely fulfill my father's last wish and carry forward the Taiyi Sect."
"Also, I will continue to cultivate diligently and avenge my father as soon as possible." Su Lan's eyes were filled with determination. "As for Cang Yi, I also know his ambitions. Sooner or later, I will deal with him. Please rest assured, uncles."
The Great Elder nodded with satisfaction and looked at the other three elders. Seeing that they were silent, he knew there was hope.
"Okay, okay, as long as you need anything, Alan, we old guys will help you."
The second elder, who had the most stubborn temper, also whispered, "I hope you can do what you say."
The third and fourth elders also expressed their willingness to assist Su Lan.
"Thank you everyone. In the coming days, I will slowly take back Cang Yi's power and privileges in the sect..."
Su Lan was talking non-stop about how he planned to reorganize the current sect, and Cang Yi also rode his spirit beast to the medicine garden at the foot of Taiyi Mountain.
"Brother Liu, I'm sorry to bother you again," Cang Yi said with a bow to the strange man who was boiling medicine.
The man before him, dressed in a dark robe, was none other than the dreaded poison doctor Liu Ying. Originally, he was a renowned alchemist, his elixirs possessing miraculous properties, earning him widespread acclaim and acclaim.
However, fate played a cruel joke on him. On his way to the mountains to collect spiritual herbs, he was accidentally attacked by a poisonous weed hidden in the grass. The weed exuded a strange aura and instantly corroded his right hand, causing him to gradually lose sensation in it and eventually become completely disabled.
From that moment on, his temperament changed dramatically. His former gentleness and indifference vanished, replaced by a cold, ruthless, and ruthless determination. He devoted all his energy to the study of toxicology and could not stand those with exceptional talent.
He was also one of Cang Yi's accomplices in killing the original owner.
When Cang Yi came to him with a big smile on his face, the dark thought of destroying the genius in his heart drove him to agree without hesitation.
"Huh? But there's something wrong with my medicine?" Liu Ying frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
"Brother Liu is incredibly insightful. I've only been putting medicine into her incense burner for five or six days straight, and Su Lan has been acting incredibly irritable towards me today. Is this a side effect of the medicine?"
Cang Yi asked cautiously, a hint of trepidation in his eyes. Although he knew the man before him was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, he dared not underestimate him. After all, Liu Ying's poisonous skills were so exquisite that even a cultivator at the Spiritual Transformation stage might not be able to escape unscathed.
Liu Ying slowly stood up and walked to the window, facing away from Cang Yi. After a moment's silence, she slowly spoke, "Everything in this world has yin and yang, and medicine is no exception. While the drugs you're using can temporarily alter a person's mood, long-term use will inevitably produce some unexpected side effects. However, the specific symptoms that will appear will depend on one's constitution and luck."
His voice was low and hoarse, as if it carried a hint of poison, which made people shudder.
Upon hearing this, Cang Yi's expression turned even uglier. He hadn't expected that his momentary impulse would lead to such serious consequences.
"But don't worry. Perhaps there really is something wrong with the dosage. How about this? Adjust the frequency of administering the medication to once every two days. This contains enough medicine for the next month."
"Please don't come to see me for the time being. I plan to go to the west to look for a very precious herb. It will probably take me a month or so to come back."
Liu Ying slowly put down the carefully selected herbs in his hand, then turned gently and walked into the room with steady steps. A moment later, he handed six beautifully packaged medicine bags to Cang Yi. "After this matter is successfully completed, don't forget the promise you made to me. You must hand over the five-hundred-year-old Dream Butterfly Flower from the Taiyi Sect to me."
Cang Yi nodded and bowed with a smile on his face. "Of course, that's inevitable. If I were to be fortunate enough to take charge of the Taiyi Sect, I would ensure that they would treat you as their most distinguished guest. You can pick any medicinal plant you want, without hesitation."
Then, he respectfully took the six medicine bags and carefully put them into his Qiankun bag. Only then did he finally turn around and return to the sect with peace of mind.
However, no one expected that less than an incense stick of time after he left, Su Lan quietly appeared in this quiet medicine garden.
