Chapter 476: Poisoning in the Snow - Soft Immortal Powder

"Master, the sea monsters facing us have always been the Silver-Feathered Sea Snakes. This tribe is known for its cunningness. They are very difficult to deal with, both in terms of combat power and intelligence. They suddenly stopped making any noise, so there must be some conspiracy. I think we should send someone to investigate to avoid any loss."

Fuxue said with a frown.

"I agree. It would be a huge disadvantage for us if we don't know the other party's deployment." Su Lin nodded.

"No, what if this is a trap set by the enemy to lure us into the trap? I suggest we stay here. With the formation, we have some protection." The elder of the clan offered another opinion.

"This..." Master Kong Xuan was suddenly caught in a dilemma.

Among the disciples, Zhong Baixuan stood up and volunteered, "Let me go ahead and investigate. I think it's safer to know both ourselves and the enemy."

Several others also expressed their opinions.

Outside the tent, Changqing, wearing a white cloak, stopped, while Jiaocang stopped from time to time, looking at the heavy snow on the ground with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Brother, something is wrong!" Jiao Cang sniffed and suddenly raised his head and said.

"Well, you discovered it too~"

Changqing squatted down, and the snow under his feet made a crunching sound.

He picked up a snowflake in his hand, and the yin and yang energies kept spinning in his eyes.

"This is……"

Pulling a passing disciple to a halt, Chang Qing asked, "How many days has the snow been falling?"

Originally, the disciple was somewhat disgusted by Chang Qing's rash behavior, but when he saw the mask on the other's face, he became respectful again and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted:

"I've met Senior Brother Wang."

Although everyone knew that this senior brother's surname was Chun, everyone in the sect was used to calling him Wang Gebi. Changqing had no objection and kept calling him that.

"This snow has been falling for three days."

"Does that mean the Silver-Winged Sea Snakes haven't attacked again since the snow began?" Chang Qing suddenly asked.

"That seems to be the case. It may be because the weather is cold and the snake demons are afraid of the cold and don't want to come out."

The disciple didn't know why Chang Qing asked this, so he expressed his guess.

"Okay, thank you, Junior Brother~"

After letting the disciple go, Chang Qing frowned, looked at the tent not far away, and took a deep breath.

Just as everyone in the tent was arguing heatedly about whether to go or not, a voice suddenly sounded:

"I think that not only do we not have to go there, we don't have to guard it either. We can also gather all the disciples of the Yuling Sect and have a good New Year!"

As soon as the words fell, there was silence!

These words felt like needles piercing their ears.

“How dare you!” Master Kong Xuan slammed the table, stood up, and the aura of his cultivation in the realm of Tao permeated the air.

"Who, who dares to say such a ridiculous thing that could shake the morale of the army?!"

"Whoever said that, come out and accept the sect's punishment!"

The elder's face was serious, and the person who said this seemed to be here to cause trouble.

Everyone looked around but found nothing.

"Hehe~" a light laugh was heard.

Everyone looked outside the tent, and a pair of slender hands pushed aside the curtain, and a masked face slowly walked in.

"Everyone, long time no see~"

Everyone seemed stunned, looking at the figure in silence for a while, but soon everyone started shouting, all greeting Chang Qing.

"Meet Senior Brother Wang~"

"Meet Mr. Chun~"

In the crowd, several figures looked at the newcomers, but their reactions were not as intense as others. Everyone had a relaxed smile on their faces. Chang Qing could even see that they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because they knew that this greeting was from Chang Qing.

Zhong Baixuan, Yun Qinghan, Ling Yu and others were much calmer, as if nothing had happened to Changqing.

After greeting everyone one by one, Changqing sat down casually in a corner. Next to him was a gentle-looking young man, who stared at him without moving away.

Chang Qing found the young man's gaze very strange. He didn't know why he sat next to this guy.

"Master, I still suggest that you consider the proposal just now~" Chang Qing continued.

Master Kongxuan and the others no longer had the aggressive attitude they had just now. Instead, they frowned and looked at Changqing.

They were very clear about Changqing's planning level, but his words now were confusing.

The elder still had some grudges against Chang Qing, so he immediately spoke:

“Mr. Chun, please take back what you just said. Although you have made great contributions to the Yuling Sect, there is a great war ahead. Such a strategy will only cause the Yuling Sect to lose the battle line and will lead to endless abuse. I will not be a coward who retreats without fighting. Whoever wants to be one can be one!!”

"Yes, Mr. Chun, no matter how you look at it, this method is only convenient for that bastard. Once the front line is lost, everyone will point fingers at us. The Yuling Sect has just started out, and if we make a mistake, there will be no chance of recovery!" Su Lin actually started to chime in.

Su Lin and the elder Zong spoke very impolitely. It seemed that they were not targeting anyone, but in fact they were directing all their criticisms towards Chang Qing's opinion.

Even though the curse was a bit harsh, Changqing just smiled and didn't get angry.

"Mr. Chun, I don't know why you want us to withdraw our disciples. You must know that there can be no mistakes in front of this formation~" asked Master Kong Xuan.

Fuxue also said: "I wonder if Mr. Chun has discovered anything?"

Chang Qing nodded slightly, holding Jiao Cang in one hand and handing him a snowball with the other: "Sect Master, you should take a closer look at this snowball first~"

Everyone looked puzzled. What could you see in a ball of snow? It was just snow! How could you see flowers?

However, Master Kong Xuan did not think so. Knowing Chang Qing well, he knew that he would not do anything useless.

Then Master Kong Xuan extended his divine consciousness and began to observe the small snowball carefully.

Not long after, Master Kongxuan's face turned grim, and the law in his hand suddenly appeared, crushing a snowball into pieces.

The tent was eerily quiet; the only sound that could be heard was Master Kong Xuan's rapid breathing.

After a long while, Luo Zhu couldn't stand this depressing atmosphere anymore and said:

"Hey, lord, if you have anything to say, please just say it. If there are any difficulties, we can solve them together. It's no use for two people to hold it in!"

Master Kongxuan exhaled and looked at Changqing.

Chang Qing understood and began to say: "In fact, it is not that the Silver-Feathered Sea Snake retreated. On the contrary, many enemies on the opposite side had already made arrangements three days ago, but we did not notice it~"

"Arrangements? Is it snowing? This little bit of cold is nothing to us cultivators. What other methods can we use in the snow?" said the elder.

The young man next to Chang Qing's expression changed first, and then everyone else's expression changed drastically.

"Someone has been tricked on Xueli?!"

"Yes, it is a poison specifically targeting cultivators, called Soft Immortal Powder. This substance is colorless and tasteless, and has a strong repulsive effect on spiritual power. Once you are infected, it will make it difficult for you to use spiritual power in battle, or even impossible to use spiritual power. This substance turns into snowflakes and mixes in the snow, so it is naturally difficult to be discovered. However..."

Changqing didn't continue.

Everyone was waiting for Chang Qing's next words...
