Da Xuan Martial Saint-Chapter 393 - 260 Poisonous Scheme_3

It was at this time that Xu Hongyu, lying in Chen Mu’s arms, gradually regained consciousness.

The opponent’s objective targeted Chen Mu; they intentionally left him some room to maneuver, for if the erosion had been deep and irreversible, it would have had no effect on Chen Mu other than completely infuriating him, serving no other purpose.

Xu Hongyu had not been deeply eroded by the Demonic Qi, and once Chen Mu extracted it, she quickly regained consciousness.

"Husband, my lord? What just happened to me..."

The awakened Xu Hongyu was still a bit confused. Recalling the recent events, she quickly realized something and said, "Was someone poisoning me? Did you save me?"

She could sense that there were no abnormalities in her body now.

But for a moment, she felt all her negative emotions had nearly been triggered, plunging into a state of complete madness, violence, and almost utter irrationality, with her consciousness nearly gone—even now, she still felt lingering fear.

"Yes, everything’s fine now."

Chen Mu looked at Xu Hongyu, his expression slightly softened, placed his hand on her heart, and seeped a strand of Yuan Gang into her body, carefully sweeping it up and down to ensure there were no issues, and then gave a slight nod to her.

Xu Hongyu carefully recollected her experience but couldn’t remember being poisoned. Only the meal she had eaten just before seemed somewhat suspicious, yet she hadn’t noticed any of the dishes being poisonous.

"What exactly is this..."

She looked at Chen Mu with some uncertainty.

Chen Mu stroked her hair gently and said, "You were implicated because of me. It was aimed at me, but it’s all right now."

Helping Xu Hongyu stand up, Chen Mu’s expression returned to being cold, and he looked outside the courtyard, saying, "No one is allowed to leave the courtyard, those who leave without permission will be killed without mercy. Go notify the Inspectorate and have them come investigate!"

He already had several guesses about who could have orchestrated such a malicious scheme, but still, he wanted the Inspectorate to be informed.

At this time...

Outside the courtyard, Chen Yue and the others, having received a signal from Chen Mu, finally ran back into the yard. Each of them looked at Xu Hongyu and Chen Mu with some unsettled spirits.

"Miss, are you alright?"

"Sister Hongyu, are you okay? You really scared us just now..."

Chen Yue and Yu Ru circled Xu Hongyu, somewhat frightened, while Ning He looked at her with a significantly grave expression, her eyes filled with confusion and hesitation. She had seen poisons before, but the scene earlier didn’t quite seem like poison.

"Miss, were you really poisoned just now?"

Ning He, her face slightly pale, looked at Xu Hongyu, who was still not completely recovered. After calming Chen Yue and Yu Ru, Xu Hongyu recounted her recent conditions, while Ning He described how Xu Hongyu had appeared earlier.

After comparing their observations, both of their faces changed, growing paler, and then they simultaneously looked at Chen Mu.

Xu Hongyu, ultimately being a Bone Tempering Realm Perfectionist, though she had never encountered Demonic Qi, had heard of it. And Ning He, following and assisting Xu Hongyu in her endeavors, was well informed and knew many things.

Feeling the gazes of the women, Chen Mu did not divert his attention as he concentrated on the Demonic Qi suppressed within his Five Viscera, which was nearly eradicated by now.

Until the last strand of Demonic Qi was extinguished.

Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief internally and then glanced at Xu Hongyu beside him, who, though still a bit shocked, was unharmed. Suddenly, he felt as if his thoughts were clearer, and the world around him seemed even more vivid.

"This is..."

Having cultivated the Qiankun Path, and his Martial Arts will already reaching the brink of unshakable after his journey to Bi Prefecture, he was just a step away from ascension. Now, faced with Xu Hongyu being attacked by Demonic Qi, he made a choice without any hesitation.

The path of a Grandmaster, the Martial Arts will, none of that mattered. If practising Martial Arts to rise to the top of the Wind Cloud List meant he couldn’t protect the person in front of him, then the pursuit of Martial Arts was meaningless.

Unity of knowledge and action, following the heart, the decision was Heart Refinement.

His will was that all things in the world stem from desires. Martial Arts was never his everything; it was just a tool to achieve his will, just a path. He did not regard Martial Arts as his all, and his Martial Arts will, unexpectedly, advanced further, piercing through that barrier, reaching a Realm where his conscience was clear and his thoughts united.

For most Martial Artists in the world, if their Martial Arts will were like Chen Mu’s now, their chances of impacting the Mysterious Pass would be at least sixty to seventy percent. If the foundation was solid enough and the Artistic Conception deep enough, there would barely be any obstacles.

This level of Martial Arts will was also the basis for mastering a Domain; otherwise, even if they could perceive a Domain, they would not have the ability to control that power and would get lost between heaven and earth.

It could be said, from here on, his path of Cultivation would be unobstructed for a long stretch, allowing for continuous progression.

In a brief moment of distraction...

Realizing his Martial Arts will had advanced further, Chen Mu suddenly found that the malicious scheme against him not only had no impact on him but seemed to have been considerate towards him at every turn.

Indeed, as Qin Mengjun had warned him, he needed to guard against being schemed against, and the reason was his attention-catching Qiankun Path. However, after this ordeal, many would likely perceive his encounter with Demonic Qi as a hindrance to his Martial Arts, drastically reducing the likelihood of becoming a Grandmaster in the future, significantly reducing his immediate troubles.

Instead of guarding against plots at every turn, it was almost a blessing in disguise to be ’struck’ this time. However, this event would not end here; using Xu Hongyu’s life as a pawn in their scheme, whoever it was, would have to pay a bloody price!
