2Nangong Xueji was beautiful, and nodded: "Yes, this poison is my Immortal Doctor Valley's unique formula, this time my master was worried that I would be wandering around alone, so he gave me ten of these toxic pill."    3

    

Bai Huaxian's pupils unconsciously shrank, but he did not pay attention to it.    

    

With her current cultivation, she would only be weak for a few days if she were to be infected with this poison, but it would not be fatal.    

    

Jiu Tianxue was silent. Looking at the fire and slaughter everywhere in the capital, he could not help but to feel a chill down his spine.    

    

This kind of brutal and naked slaughter was like hell on earth. If one wasn't used to life and death, then it was simply impossible to endure.    

    

"Your majesty, what should we do?"    

    

The Liu Gui Fei was also alarmed and quickly ran over to find the Kaiser. Her cultivation was not high enough, but now that she heard about the unforeseen event in the Imperial City, how could she sit still?    

    

With regards to Liu Gui Fei, ever since the banquet last time, he had been enraged by this woman's ignorance. Recently, she had not been taken care of at all.    

    

Kaiser was similarly as anxious as ants on a hot pan. This was related to Qin Kingdom's foundation, he was more anxious than anyone else.    

    

"Jiu Muli!"    

    

Soon enough, Kaiser thought of Jiu Muli. No matter what, this woman's talent in alchemist was exceptionally high, he decided to ask Jiu Muli first to see if there was any way to save her.    

    

After all, in the entire Qin Kingdom's Imperial Palace, there was not even a single outstanding alchemist. The only hope, was also with Jiu Muli.    

    

With no other choice, the Kaiser finally sent someone to the Jiuhua Hall to invite Jiu Muli.    

    

At the same time, the outside and inside of the Imperial Palace were in an uproar. Everyone felt chills as they watched the strange plague turn the human world into hell. There were even many people who were thinking about how to escape.    

    

However, it was still impossible for these cultivators to have cultivation bases like Qin Zheng. The surrounding city gates and even the surrounding walls were completely sealed off by the strange poison, they had nowhere to run.    

    

When Jiu Muli received the news, he was stunned. Looking at the messenger eunuch in front of him, he asked suspiciously, "Is there really a plague spreading throughout the capital?"    

    

"That's right, I don't believe that the Ninth Miss can see it for himself. If this goes on, the entire capital will become a graveyard."    

    

The old eunuch's face was filled with anxiety and panic.    

    

Jiu Muli's face sunk. Since Kaiser had invited them, she still had to give them some face, and agreed without hesitation. After all, the poison did not pose any threat to her, so there was no harm in taking a look.    

    

Just as he left the room, he saw Qin Zheng waiting at the side. Jiu Muli saw that Qin Zheng's expression was still cold, and wearing a robe, it was impossible to tell whether or not he had fully recovered. Jiu Muli tactfully did not bring up the matter, and asked: "You also know about the plague in the capital?"    

    

"Mm. The emperor invites you over. Let's go."    

    

Seeing that, Qin Zheng did not say much, his cold face carried a trace of seriousness.    

    

Jiu Muli noticed that even though he knew that Qin Zheng still did not care about the Qin Kingdom, he pretended not to see it.    

    

When the two of them arrived at the palace, the entire palace was already filled with people who were currently discussing what had happened.    

    

Vaguely, Jiu Muli could hear these people discussing how to fight their way out and escape. Some of them even said that they wanted to defend as if their lives depended on it, causing Jiu Muli to be unable to speak for a while.    

    

However, when everyone saw Qin Zheng and Jiu Muli approaching, they instantly went silent, especially when they saw Qin Zheng, they subconsciously lowered their heads.    

    

Kaiser's eyes lit up. He was annoyed by this group of people, so he immediately said to Jiu Muli and Qin Zheng: "It's great that you guys are here. We are being annoyed, and do not know what to do."    

    

"Those who don't listen will be killed without question. What's so noisy about that?" Qin Zheng heard and frowned, the words he said were simple and crude.    

    

When everyone heard this, their bodies trembled. The few ministers in front of them were so frightened that their faces turned pale.    

    

They were well aware that Qin Zheng truly thought this way, and that he could definitely do it. Compared to the Kaiser, Qin Zheng was truly a hundred times more invincible.    

    

The Kaiser waved his hand and said, "Jiu Muli, it's great that you're here. I wonder if you have a good plan."    

    

Jiu Muli frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I'll go take a look to see what's the reason."    

    

After leaving Jiuhua Hall, she was completely oblivious to this plague. She was in the midst of closed door cultivation.    

    

Following Kaiser's order, everyone went to the high walls of the palace.    

    

Jiu Muli looked around, and was immediately stunned by the scene before him.    

    

That was a zombie!    

    

Looking at the group of monsters that were neither human nor ghost, Jiu Muli felt a chill run down his spine. Those existences that looked like zombies yet had more flesh and blood than zombies were barbaric and completely irrational, they were simply zombies from the legends.    

    

Perhaps it was because the poison in the palace had yet to spread over, but at this time, Jiu Muli did not sense anything strange in the air. She immediately moved, jumping down from the tall building and rushed towards the dense crowd.    

    

The moment she landed on the ground, she was immediately surrounded by a group of cultivators.    

    

"Ninth Miss, I wonder what way do you have to save us?"    

    

"The entire capital has become hell on earth. Ninth Miss, please help."    

    

No one entered or left the Imperial Palace, and now that Jiu Muli was the first to appear, he immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.    

    

After understanding the situation, Jiu Muli's heart sank. She could not imagine what kind of reason it was, if it were to spread like this, the entire capital would definitely become a dead city.    

    

"How can this be!"    

    

Jiu Muli's heart was in shock, just at this time, there was another person not far from him who had instantly activated the poison, and the expressions of many people around him had turned painful as well.    

    

It was too fast. In just a split-second, ten people had turned into zombies!    

    

The more Jiu Muli saw, the uglier her face became. In the end, she walked towards the poisonous zombies.    

    

A fishy stench assaulted his nostrils!    

    

That stimulating smell almost made Jiu Muli faint. At the same time, she discovered that the air was also filled with poison, if someone absorbed enough, they would be completely corroded in an instant.    

    

This was going to be troublesome.    

    

Jiu Muli's heart was heavy as he asked the glazed palace lamp, "Little Lamp, can the poison be absorbed?"    

    

"Ding ding ding."    

    

The glazed palace lamp gave an affirmative answer.    

    

Jiu Muli's heart relaxed. Carefully sensing, she discovered that the fourth black lotus in the glazed palace lamp's space was slowly revolving, absorbing the poison she had just absorbed, as well as the poison that was floating in the air.    

    

"Alright!"    

    

Seeing that, Jiu Muli's heart was at ease, he immediately got up and returned to Kaiser, and said: "Your majesty, I can cure this poison, but I need to go to the center area."    

    

"You really have a way?"    

    

Kaiser was immediately excited, he had originally only wanted to give it a try, but he did not expect Jiu Muli to really have a plan, so he was naturally overjoyed.    

    

"That's right. This poison is extremely tyrannical. It is truly a bit unexpected. However, I think that it is more of a man-made poison." A cold light flashed across Jiu Muli's eyes.    

    

Just now, when she had carefully examined it, she had realized that this poison could not have been produced for no reason, nor could it have been formed from natural mutations. This was because it contained an extremely large amount of poison, and the poison's composition was definitely not something that could be found in an ordinary place.    

    

"Who is it? How dare you?" Kaiser's face was filled with anger, a majestic aura surged from his body.    

    

The Kaiser's aura was very strong, and it was even stronger than ordinary experts. It was comparable to the island master of the Sea of Nine Serenities.    

    

"He really is a person who had been a Kaiser for a hundred years."    

    

Jiu Muli sighed in his heart, Kaiser's cultivation was not high, but this pressure, was more like the pressure of someone who had stayed on the throne for too long.    

    

"I don't know who it is, but since the other party doesn't plan to show up, I can't find him for now. I'll detoxify the poison first."    

    

As Jiu Muli spoke, he pointed to the center of the city and said, "I hope that the Emperor can send someone to escort me there."    

    

"Alright."    

    

The Kaiser nodded without hesitation, but just as he finished speaking, he saw that Qin Zheng had already blocked Jiu Muli's waist, and was bringing him into the air.    

    

This brat …    

    

Kaiser didn't know what to say. Even though the situation was dire, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.    

    

Jiu Muli let Qin Zheng carry her, since she was originally worried about him. Seeing that Qin Zheng did not overdo it, she decided to just ignore him.    

    

When he arrived at the center of the sky, Jiu Muli suddenly said: "Alright, here it is."    

    

With that, she immediately communicated with the glazed palace lamp and the space inside the glazed palace lamp expanded. The fourth black lotus emitted a dark green light, as if it had seen some delicious food.    

    

"Jiu Muli, what is she doing!"    

    

"Qin Zheng!"    

    

Jiu Tianxue, Bai Huaxian and the rest, upon seeing Qin Zheng and Jiu Muli appear, revealed bone-piercing cold expressions, and frowned at the same time.    

    

They could not see the glazed palace lamp, so they did not understand what the two of them were doing.    

    

"Running towards the place where the poison is most concentrated is really not fast enough!"    

    

Jiu Tianxue's eyes flashed with dense hatred.    

    

Be it Jiu Muli or Qin Zheng, both of them were extremely strange, and very rarely would they do such meaningless things. At this moment, with such high profile, no matter how smart they were, they couldn't figure it out.    

    

Nangong Xueji also frowned and muttered: "Is this the antidote I was planning to use, but this is my Immortal Doctor Valley's secret recipe. It won't be that easy to find the antidote."    

    

At this moment, even Qin Zheng was frowning slightly as he looked at Jiu Muli, not knowing what he was doing. However, he could vaguely sense a distinct aura of a bloodline, and a weak current of air was continuously converging onto Jiu Muli's body.    

    

Jiu Muli did not notice that the three of them were staring at the and were controlling it to continuously absorb the poison. Furthermore, as the amount of poison absorbed increased, she felt that the Black Lotus's poison was stronger than before.    

    

Whoosh!    

    

It was as if a light wind was blowing, and the air around them started to circulate as though wisps of poison were being devoured and absorbed by the Black Lotus, causing the surrounding air to become extremely fresh.    

    

What made Jiu Muli even happier was that many of the zombies that were close to him, the poison in their bodies had also been removed, and they were slowly restoring their consciousness.    

    

"Good, looks like these people can still be saved."    

    

Seeing this, Jiu Muli heaved a sigh of relief. Currently, there were at least two hundred thousand people who were poisoned to a zombie. If all of them died because of this, then Qin Kingdom's losses would be too great.    

    

Unfortunately, even though it was like this, she still felt that many children would not be able to survive.
