Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 808 - 782: The Conspiracy Reveals

Liu Xian nodded and smiled at Tangyu, then turned to Luo Ke and the others, saying, "Daoist Luo Ke, consider today’s matter as giving me some face. Let’s end it here, shall we?"

Luo Ke had suffered a great loss and was grateful that Liu Xian had intervened to save his life. Naturally, he had no objections and bowed to Liu Xian with gratitude, saying, "Thank you. I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t be participating in the Myriad Immortals Conference. I’ll take my leave now. Farewell."

Having lost face so badly, Luo Ke certainly couldn’t stay here any longer.

Liu Xian said, "Daoist Luo Ke, no need to rush. I’ve already prepared a luncheon, and all the guests are here. Let’s bring the luncheon forward. Everyone, please follow me. As the host, I haven’t properly entertained you. Please forgive my neglect. Daoist Luo Ke, why not join us for the luncheon before you leave? It won’t be too late."

Luo Ke looked at Liu Xian and knew that he couldn’t turn down his hospitality, so he said, "Then I’ll leave after the luncheon."

Everyone greeted Liu Xian, exchanging a few polite words.

Liu Xian smiled gracefully and made a gesture of invitation to Tangyu, saying, "Brother Tangyu, please."

Clearly, Tangyu’s status and treatment were invisibly elevated. But this was understandable, as Tangyu’s strength was undoubtedly the highest here. His prowess commanded respect naturally.

In the martial world, strength was respected, and those with power naturally received the respect they deserved.

Over a hundred people followed Liu Xian to a large courtyard. There were more than a dozen tables set up in the open space of the courtyard, which was about the size of two or three basketball courts. The area was beautiful, with pavilions, rock gardens, ponds, and flowers. The lotus flowers in the pond were pure and beautiful. The air was filled with a rich fragrance.

The fragrance of lotus and flowers, as well as the scent of natural springs flowing over artificial rocks, permeated the air.

The tables were already laden with a sumptuous feast, and the aroma of wine and food filled the air, tantalizing everyone’s appetite.

Liu Xian waved his hand, saying, "Friends, please find your seats. My grandfather is currently in seclusion, so I will be hosting the luncheon by myself. We’re all young people here, so let’s consider this a gathering of the younger generation. Please, make yourselves at home and sit down."

Everyone found a place to sit down. Tangyu and his four companions sat at a table with Gong Xinyue and her three companions. Guan Shanye and his companion also came over to join them, sharing the table.

Liang Youshan was unceremonious, directly pouring wine for Tangyu while grinning, saying, "Everyone, stop staring and start eating. Let’s see how the food here tastes. Wow, this wine is incredibly fragrant. It must be homemade, and it’s definitely aged. Good stuff."

Tangyu also picked up his wine glass and sniffed it. A rich and fragrant aroma filled his nose. This was indeed fine wine, an aged brew without a doubt.

Liu Xian also picked up a glass of wine and moved to the center, looking around at everyone, saying, "Friends, please fill your glasses. This wine was brewed by the Liu Family and has been aged for thirty years. We don’t have much of it left. But today, to host so many heroes, I’ve brought it all out. So, let’s not hold back and enjoy. I’ll make the first toast to everyone, thanking you all for attending the Myriad Immortals Conference and for your trust and support of the Liu Family. Cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses and stood up.

"Young Master Liu Xian, you’re too kind. It’s our honor."

"Come on, let’s drink."

Everyone drank their wine, praising its quality. Gong Xinyue and her companions also had a glass. For those who had reached the Innate Realm, a little alcohol was not easy to get drunk on, so even Gong Xinyue and her companions had no concerns.

"Great wine, great wine. Liu Xian is truly generous. Today, I must drink to my heart’s content. You can’t find such fine wine in Holy Sun Town," Liang Youshan said, smacking his lips with a look of endless enjoyment.

Tangyu, however, frowned slightly. As soon as the wine entered his stomach, he felt something was off: "This wine is strange. Hmm—it’s poisoned. Such a potent and clever poison, it even evaded my senses. If it weren’t for my childhood training with poisons, I wouldn’t have noticed it immediately. The dosage is so precise that there’s no immediate discomfort; it only takes effect after several drinks."

"Hmph, as I suspected. No wonder I’ve had a bad feeling. It seems this Young Master Yi’s target is indeed the Myriad Immortals Conference. Fortunately, I came prepared. With the Detoxification Elixir, I’m not afraid of this poison. However, this poison is even more potent than what Wang Wei and Wu Fei suffered from last time. It’ll take at least two Detoxification Elixirs to neutralize it."

A gleam of resolve flashed in Tangyu’s eyes as he discreetly scanned his surroundings. Although he found nothing amiss, he still felt something was wrong. His gaze shifted to Liu Xian, who was chatting and laughing with others, appearing gracious and enthusiastic.

"Liu Xian, I hope things are not as I suspect. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being unkind," Tangyu thought to himself.

Watching Liang Youshan and the others gulping down the wine, Tangyu remained calm and didn’t warn them. It was best not to alarm more people and risk the situation getting out of hand. With the Detoxification Elixir, Tangyu wasn’t worried about Liang Youshan and the others’ safety.

Silently, Tangyu took a Detoxification Elixir. As trouble loomed, he waited calmly.

Liu Xian approached with a wine glass, saying, "Brother Tangyu, Miss Gong Xinyue, everyone, don’t be shy. I may not be able to attend to you all, so please help yourselves. Here, a toast from me."

Liang Youshan grinned, "The food here is great, and the wine is even better. Let’s drink."

After having a drink, Liu Xian went to other tables to greet the guests.

"Boss, why aren’t you eating? The food tastes really good. Don’t you like drinking? Have some more," Liang Youshan said, looking at Tangyu.

Tangyu smiled faintly and said, "I don’t have much of an appetite today. You all enjoy."

The atmosphere at the scene, however, was hot and lively thanks to Liu Xian, and this fine wine made everyone drink like there was no tomorrow. At this moment, everyone was unaware that what they were drinking was poisoned wine.

Gong Xinyue suddenly said, "Tangyu, I toast to you with this cup. Thank you for curing the spots on my face."

Tangyu smiled and said, "You’re welcome. It was just a small favor, so why not do something that makes others and myself happy?"

Gong Xinyue nodded slightly, "If you get the chance to go to Tianshan, you must visit my Heavenly Maiden Palace."

"Definitely," Tangyu said.

The atmosphere at the table was intense, with cheers and shouts filling the air. Everyone was brimming with heroic spirit.

"Ugh—so painful, no—this wine—"

Suddenly a cry of pain sounded, and the previously lively clearing immediately quieted down. All eyes swiftly looked over to see a man writhing on the ground in agony, his face and body quickly turning black.

"Oh no, the wine is poisoned—"

Soon many people cried out, followed by a burst of screams. Figures fell to the ground one after another, and angry shouts repeatedly sounded.

"The wine is poisoned. The wine is actually poisoned, Liu Xian, you—"

"Liu Xian, how dare you poison us?"

"Damn you, Liu Xian, damn you, Liu Family. How could you poison us? What’s your motive?"

Angry voices surged toward Liu Xian, but to everyone’s surprise, Liu Xian was also sitting in pain, using his powers to suppress the poison. Liu Xian’s face also had some black spots. Liu Xian looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, I have no time to argue right now. The truth will reveal itself. I am also poisoned. I do not know what’s going on. Let’s suppress the poison first."

Liu Xian’s words made everyone half believe him, but many preferred to trust him. The angry voices gradually subsided, and everyone sat down to use their techniques to suppress the poison.

"Damn it, who poisoned the wine?" Just a moment ago, Liang Youshan was drinking happily, but now he was also covered in black and in pain, seeking help from Tangyu.

Others were not faring any better. Gong Xinyue and her two companions were also in pain. Although they hadn’t drunk much, the poison was extremely potent.

The most relaxed person was certainly Tangyu. His body was naturally immune to poisons, and he had secretly taken a Detoxification Elixir earlier. The poison didn’t affect Tangyu at all.

However, Tangyu also pretended to use his powers to suppress the poison. He gave Liang Youshan a few meaningful glances, which Liang Youshan quickly understood.

"What’s going on? Who wants to harm us?"

"Liu Xian, if it wasn’t your Liu Family, then who was it?"

Liu Xian, looking grim, sat there and said, "I’m sorry, everyone. I really don’t know. Our Liu Family would never do such a thing. Obviously, someone is causing trouble behind the scenes. If I’m not mistaken, it should be a force called Wing Minors. Wing Minors are members of that mysterious force that has recently been causing chaos in Liucheng. Damn it, they actually dare to harm us. Despicable."

"What? The mysterious force? How dare they extend their reach to the Myriad Immortals Conference! Such audacity."

"Liu Xian, quickly have your grandfather come out of seclusion. Otherwise, we all might fall here."

Liu Xian said, "Everyone, if it really is Wing Minors, they must have an ulterior motive. Let’s observe further. I can’t move right now and cannot report to my grandfather. Also, my grandfather is in a life-or-death seclusion, and even I dare not disturb him."

After speaking, Liu Xian angrily shouted to the surroundings, "Who are the rats behind this, sneaking around and using such despicable methods? If you have a grudge against the Myriad Immortals Conference, you are against our entire alliance. Wing Minors, if it’s you, come out and face us. I want to see who dares to act so brazenly in our Liu Family."

"Hahaha—talking tough on the brink of death." A loud voice laughed, and a group of uniformly dressed people quickly charged out.
