325: Yizhou City falls

"That's how it happened, and then we came here." Mu Changan recounted the events and explained the situation.

Mu Changan then looked up, his bright eyes gazing at Nan Qingyue.

At this moment, Mu Changan was waiting for an answer, one that would satisfy him.

Nan Qingyue nodded slightly. She chose to believe his words; after all, who would use their own aunt as a lie?

"Alright, then I'll believe you, but there's one more thing I want to know." Nan Qingyue turned around and looked at Nie Mingjue.

In truth, Nan Qingyue originally trusted Nie Mingjue unconditionally, but after this incident, she started having doubts.

Nie Mingjue is a Nie Family member, so would he do something excessive just to find Baiyi Luo's Tomb?

That remains an unknown.

"Nie Mingjue, why did you bring Mu Changan here? Do you also want to know the location of Baiyi Luo's Tomb?" Nan Qingyue's face was grim, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

It was at this moment that Nan Qingyue clenched her fists tightly and questioned Nie Mingjue.

However, after hearing the question, Nie Mingjue lowered his head, lost in thought.

"Actually, Qingyue, you are right. I do want to find my aunt's tomb. After all, she disappeared for twenty years, and I want to find her whereabouts. However, that is not why I brought Senior here. If I wanted to know, I could wait until Mister Li wakes up and ask him. The reason I brought Senior here is for him to save Mister Li. Now, perhaps only Senior can save Mister Li in Yizhou City."

In truth, Nie Mingjue understood this point clearly. Saving Mister Li was the top priority right now.

As long as Mister Li wakes up, perhaps he can lead us there.

"Alright, I understand. Senior, do you have any way to wake up Mister Li?" Nan Qingyue turned back and looked at Mu Changan.

Nan Qingyue was even more curious. Mister Li had been afflicted by Gu Poison, and such a toxin couldn't be easily cured by ordinary methods.

Therefore, saving Mister Li would definitely require a great deal of effort.

But another problem arose: Mister Li couldn't hold on for much longer, so they had to hurry.

"Actually, I believe you know that Gu Poison cannot be casually cured. Do you understand this principle?" Mu Changan turned back and looked at Nan Qingyue.

Mu Changan glanced at Mister Li, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Of course, the Qi emanating from Mu Changan was not Evil Qi, but hatred towards this Gu Poison.

Back when Baiyi Luo had her accident, it was this thing that prevented her from circulating her Qi. Otherwise, how could that old dog Wei Donghai have been Baiyi Luo's opponent?

"I know. Is there really no other way?" Nan Qingyue's face darkened, and the hope in her heart instantly vanished.

"There is! Of course there is!" Mu Changan's eyes lit up, and he revealed what was on his mind.

After Baiyi Luo was afflicted with Gu Poison, Mu Changan had been searching for a way to cure it.

And it was at this time.

Mu Changan said grimly, "Actually, when Baiyi Luo was afflicted with Gu Poison back then, I searched for a cure for eighteen years without success."

"But in the nineteenth year, I met a person in Yunzhou City who claimed to be the most outstanding Disciple of the Tang Sect, mastering the world's most toxic substance, Luodu."

Mu Changan slowly raised his head and spoke of this matter.

However, at this moment, Mu Changan's face was pale. He took a sharp breath, trying to calm himself down.

As such, Mu Changan was helpless. Back then, after finding Luodu, he originally wanted to take it away directly, but unfortunately, this toxin simply could not leave Yunzhou City.

"Luodu? What kind of toxin is that? Why have I never heard of it?" Nan Qingyue's face was grim, and she was puzzled.

They were clearly here to detoxify him, so why use a toxin on Mister Li?

Could this be a method of using poison to fight poison?

"The Poison of Luo Bing can dissolve all things." Nie Mingjue had some recollection of this Luodu and explained the matter.

Nan Qingyue did not understand this matter, nor did she know about Luodu.

After hearing these words, Mu Changan's face darkened.

After pondering for a long time, Mu Changan slowly said, "Actually, Nie Mingjue is very correct. Luodu is exactly like that."

"The way to save Mister Li is to go to Yunzhou City and bathe him in Luodu. We need the Luodu to dissolve the Gu Poison in Mister Li's body." Mu Changan took a sharp breath, "Of course, there is one issue: if Mister Li is poisoned to death by Luodu, there will be no other recourse."

"So, you're saying this is all a gamble? And no one actually knows the consequences?" Nan Qingyue's face was grim, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

If the method of using poison to fight poison doesn't work, then Mister Li will die!

And there will be no other way!

"We don't have any other option, do we? If there was another way, would we need to go to Yunzhou City? Right now, we can only hope this method works. Otherwise, Mister Li is just waiting for death here!" Nie Mingjue's face was grim, showing a serious expression.

"If that's the result, we might as well let Mister Li take a chance. What if it succeeds? Wouldn't he have saved his life then? It's treating a dead horse as if it were alive." Mu Changan said grimly, frowning as he stated the matter.

After a long time.

Nan Qingyue remained silent for a long time. She was conflicted, and she definitely didn't want to lose her Master.

But the current situation was like this, and Nan Qingyue had no other choice.

"Senior, how confident are you?" Nan Qingyue looked up and asked Mu Changan.

In truth, Nan Qingyue was very conflicted, and for a moment, she didn't know what to do.

"That depends on that kid from the Tang Family. If he can dilute Luodu to a concentration Mister Li can withstand, and then kill the Gu Poison inside him, Mister Li can be saved." Mu Changan said.

But Nan Qingyue felt that what she heard was highly unreliable. What if the toxicity of Luodu was too great? What then?

But there was no better solution now; they could only proceed this way.

"Senior, you just mentioned another problem: that Luodu cannot be taken away? Why is that?" Nan Qingyue was even more confused, pausing slightly in surprise.

"Actually, Luodu is a spring water. This spring water contains deadly poison, and this poison can invade the body. If the Luo Water evaporates, it will spread into the air. At that time, it won't just affect one person; anyone near the vicinity will be afflicted by Luodu!" Mu Changan recalled the memory and thought of this matter.

Nan Qingyue fell silent again. If Luodu originated from Luo Water, wouldn't that be even more dangerous?

However, there was no other way. To achieve their goal, they would have to use a more decisive method.

"In that case, we can only take Mister Li to Yunzhou City." Nan Qingyue's eyes lit up as she realized this.

"It's the only way." Nie Mingjue nodded.

In truth, Nie Mingjue had discussed this with Mu Changan before, but the Luo Water simply couldn't be taken away. If it evaporated on the road, even the air would become poisonous.

Forget taking it away; they might even die on the road.

Transporting Luodu was too dangerous; it was simply impossible.

By going to Yunzhou City, they could control the concentration of Luodu, thus having a better method and greater control over the toxin.

"Then, how will Luodu treat Mister Li?" Nan Qingyue asked again.

In truth, Nan Qingyue was uneasy. She took a sharp breath, feeling utterly helpless.

Although this was a gamble, Nan Qingyue hoped she could win. After all, saving Mister Li was her goal.

"Don't tell me Mister Li will get better if he drinks this Luo Water?" Nan Qingyue was even more curious.

"Absolutely not. Luo Water contains deadly poison. If he drinks Luo Water, he will surely die." Mu Changan said grimly.

"Qingyue, this Luo Water is for bathing, not drinking. If he drinks this toxin, anyone would die!" Nie Mingjue complained.

Hearing this, Nan Qingyue's face flushed red. She realized she had been somewhat rash.

As such, there was truly no other option.

"Alright, let's go. Since we know what needs to be done, let's hurry to Yunzhou City. This is a good thing, and we must do it quickly." Nan Qingyue turned around and looked out the window.

In the Nine Heavens, colorful clouds drifted, making for a beautiful scene.

Mu Changan and Nie Mingjue exchanged glances. Then, Nie Mingjue stepped forward and approached Mister Li.

"Qingyue, let me carry Mister Li. We should leave now." Nie Mingjue reached out and smiled slightly.

Nan Qingyue turned back, glanced at Nie Mingjue, and then slowly lowered Mister Li, letting him sit on the seat.

Afterward, Nie Mingjue carefully supported Mister Li, and finally carried him on his back.

"Be careful, don't let Mister Li fall." Nan Qingyue was worried. Looking at Mister Li's pale face, her heart felt complicated.

Li Changfeng's face was pale, devoid of any color, making him look like a corpse.

However, Nan Qingyue could still feel Li Changfeng's Qi Pulse, and having this Qi Pulse meant one thing: he was not dead yet.

Only then did Nan Qingyue gradually feel relieved. If anything happened to Li Changfeng, she would never forgive herself.

"Alright, let's hurry up and leave. It's getting late, and it's time to leave Yizhou City." Mu Changan looked around.

Currently, Yizhou City has become the territory of Mulan Manor.
