"There must be an antidote," scoffed Li Xuan. "Why are you still lying to us?"

There was an antidote to every poison. Who would dare use a poison that had no antidote?

"It's time for your meal!"

Before they could say another word, a voice rang outside their cell and silenced them.

They watched as a dozen men walked in with some food. Imprisoned inside a cave with no chance of ever seeing the sun again, they were of no use to anyone.

Waves of sorrow surged within them.

"Come on, eat!"

"Hurry up and eat!"

A few Tianlian Sect disciples sneered and threw the food onto the ground as if they were leftovers for stray dogs. "Esteemed sect leaders, we've prepared a special meal for you today to celebrate the capture of Elder Ting Feng of Buddha Sect. You should be happy."

"You're about to reunite with a few old friends. You should be happy. Hahahaha!"

"I'm going to kill you!" spat Yun Zhongke furiously.

PAK!

A disciple lifted his hand and sent it flying across Yun Zhongke's cheek. "You? You're nothing but useless pieces of trash now. Do you really think you can kill me?"

"You..."

Yun Zhongke was livid. He struggled to stand but to no avail. His legs were like jelly and he could scarcely feel them at all. There was no way he could stand.

The other sects felt the humiliation churning inside Yun Zhongke as they witnessed his mistreatment. They were filled with rage but they were powerless.

Hurry up and eat! You won't like what we're going to do to you if you keep yammering!" the disciples from Tianlian Sect said mockingly. Trampling on the pride of these high and mighty sect leaders felt great. Jiang Ning paid them no head as he distributed the food to the captives. When he got to Elder Ting Feng, he leaned in and whispered, "What did you find?"

"There's no antidote," said Elder Ting Feng in exasperation.

Jiang Ning froze. "How can there be no antidote?"

Elder Ting Feng shook his head. "The poison is a sedative that was originally created by the Longkongshan Sect. Yun Zhongke said that there's no antidote for this poison. An antidote might exist but he's not aware of it."

As Jiang Ning handed Elder Ting Feng his food, he asked, "Where's the poison being kept?"

The elder froze, then looked up and stared Jiang Ning in the eye. He had a feeling that he knew what Jiang Ning was going to do.

"Are we done here?" The man in charge of the disciples yelled in the distance. "Are you going to eat? I don't care either way!"

Upon hearing that, Jiang Ning's foot shot out and struck Elder Ting Feng, sending him sprawling to the ground. He whispered, "It's alright. I'll think of something. Get ready." The other disciples from Tianlian Sect burst into laughter at the scene.

Humiliating these sect leaders and elders had become their chief pleasure every day.

"Let's go!"

The disciples left after delivering the meal, leaving behind them sect leaders and elders who looked utterly defeated and livid.

They had not expected something

like this to befall them. An ordinary disciple, tasked with the mundane chore of delivering meals, had dared to push them around, humiliate them and mock them to their faces. These disciples would have them Kiss the dirt if they could.

Elder Ting Feng eyed them before saying in a voice dripping with mockery, "How's the food? Does it taste good?"

He did not tell anyone that Jiang

disciples. These people should

the only way they would learn whom

the real villain was.

Li Xuan and the others didn't say a word. They stared at the food scattered on the ground and tightened their fists. Their faces were colored with murderous rage.

Yun Zhongke smashed his fist into a bun and thundered. "Luo Qi, I'm going to kill you. I swear, I'll kill you!"

When would these hellish days come to an end?

They growled with rage.

"Soon."

Elder Ting Feng ate his food calmly. He knew that Jiang Ning had a plan.

They might not know of any antidote, but Luo Qi might.

He was convinced that Luo Qi would reveal where the antidote was if he were to get poisoned himself.
