There was no proof, no evidence, and no warning.
Li Yun really couldn't determine who had poisoned him, but he was actually happy. With such a good thing that increased his poison control without costing him anything, he wished for more!
"Huh, what's wrong? Did you encounter something good?"
"You just came back, and I see you're happy here."
At this moment, Yunya Saintess returned. She was originally full of anger and wanted to complain to Li Yun, but as soon as she came back, she saw Li Yun laughing slyly, which made her feel a bit confused.
Li Yun absolutely trusted Yunya Saintess.
It wasn't just because Yunya Saintess had no reason to harm him; more importantly, she had already obtained the first ten chapters of the Tao Te Ching from Li Yun.
Before returning to White Emperor City, she had also cultivated the Gate of Myriad Wonders.
Similar to Old Daoist Wuchen, her Gate of Myriad Wonders was subtly controlled by his own Gate of Myriad Wonders, and this control was very Advanced. Unless Li Yun revealed it himself, no one could detect it at all.
"I've been poisoned, and it's a very sophisticated poison..."
"What? Poisoned?"
Yunya Saintess's expression changed drastically, and she darted over instantly. "How could you be poisoned? Quick, quick, let me see..."
Are you kidding me!
After reaching the Reaching Heaven Nine Realms, poisoning generally wouldn't occur, but if it did, it would definitely be a formidable poison.
Let alone someone like Li Yun, a Nine Thunder Mythical Celestial. He had endured the nine Primordial Golden Lightnings and was a Celestial Human Realm in terms of his physical body. What kind of poison could remain in his body and take effect?
"Relax, I'm fine."
"I've already dispelled that poison myself, but this poison is quite interesting, very subtle... Look!"
With a thought, Li Yun flicked his fingertip slightly.
An invisible and colorless aura emerged from Li Yun's fingertip.
Yunya Saintess was slightly startled, and her beautiful eyes suddenly turned golden. This was clearly a Divine Power.
Her gaze swept over.
The subtle poisonous gas was also gradually analyzed by her.
Suddenly, Yunya Saintess's face also showed a hint of shock and anger: "Heavenly Injury Poison!"
"What a ruthless method."
"No wonder even I didn't notice..."
"Heavenly Injury Poison?"
Li Yun's eyes flickered, as if he remembered something, and his face was also full of surprise: "You mean, this comes from... the poison of the Heaven Grade mid-tier Heavenly Injury Strange Fruit?"
"Yes!"
"It's 100%, I recognize it, and I've seen it once. This poison isn't fierce, what's terrifying is that it's invisible and colorless, and when it spreads out, it's exactly like the air in nature. Even in a state of unity with heaven, it's difficult to detect."
"Once poisoned by this, it's like maggots clinging to bone, almost incurable."
"As time goes on, it will probably erupt suddenly around forty-nine days, forming a Heavenly Injury Qi that harms the spirit, blood, and body... The whole person will rapidly deteriorate as if they have encountered the five declines of a Celestial Human."
"Even someone like me, a Divine Martial Realm, would degenerate into an ordinary and weak person within a few breaths, and any Transcendent Realm Martial Artist could kill me!"
"Too vicious..."
Li Yun trembled with anger upon hearing this, not only because of the ruthlessness of the poisoner, but also because he was heartbroken.
This was a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure from the Heaven Grade mid-tier.
Why didn't you just give me a whole Heavenly Injury Strange Fruit instead of just poisoning me? I would eat it right in front of you!
With just this little bit of poison, the Ten Thousand Treasures Divine Body couldn't even get any benefits.
A huge loss!
And Yunya Saintess also seemed to have realized something.
"No... Since it's Heavenly Injury Poison, how did you dispel it?"
"A trivial method, not worth mentioning... Hehe, since Holy Maiden Ruo has recognized the Heavenly Injury Poison, can you help me analyze who poisoned me?"
"This..."
Yunya Saintess immediately frowned.
"You just arrived at White Emperor City, and you've only been to two places: the White Emperor Family's main residence and Crown Prince Lietian's lodging."
"The person who had the opportunity to poison you must be in one of these two places."
"To administer Heavenly Injury Poison, there must be a Heavenly Injury Strange Fruit, but the problem is, both the White Emperor Family and Crown Prince Lietian can possess such a treasure... For a moment, I really can't determine who it is."
Li Yun thought for a moment.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
"Holy Maiden Ruo, let me see your hand..."
"Me?"
"What are you doing?"
"Just stretch it out..."
Yunya Saintess rolled her eyes at Li Yun but still extended her right hand. This slender, fair hand was truly like green onions made of jade, flawless and pure, a perfect work of art in the world. Looking at it, Li Yun couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, a urge to pick up this snow-white jade hand and play with it for a while.
Of course, to avoid getting beaten, Li Yun suppressed this urge.
He just reached out and gently placed his hand on her right wrist.
With a thought.
The Heavenly Poison Domain was silently activated.
Within a few breaths.
A faint trace of Heavenly Injury Poison was absorbed by the Heavenly Poison Domain, becoming its nourishment.
Yunya Saintess's face instantly changed drastically.
"Heavenly Injury Poison, even I was affected?"
"The poisoner not only wants to destroy you, but also wants to destroy me...?"
In just an instant.
Murderous intent filled Yunya Saintess's eyes.
"Hehe, both you and I are poisoned, but you haven't been to Crown Prince Lietian's lodging, so the place where we were poisoned is obvious, it was in the main hall of the White Emperor Family's residence."
"I'm afraid your guess is correct."
"There must be a mysterious force hidden within the White Emperor Family, and this force must have felt threatened by you, so they decided to act against you!"
Yunya Saintess didn't refute, because she knew that Li Yun's analysis was pretty much the truth.
She looked at Li Yun, her gaze slightly apologetic.
"This time I've implicated you... Fortunately, you're here, otherwise, by the time I realized I was poisoned by the Heavenly Injury Poison, it might have been too late."
"However, the method you used just now... is truly amazing. You were able to easily absorb even the Heavenly Injury Poison, and it seems you even devoured it in return... It's truly terrifying. With such a method at your disposal, who can ever poison you in the future?"
"Hehe... It's just a small trick, Holy Maiden Ruo shouldn't be so surprised."
"Perhaps Holy Maiden Ruo should consider another matter now."
"What?"
"If we were indeed poisoned in the main hall of the White Emperor Family's residence, have you considered that we might not be the only two poisoned!"
"Ah..."
Yunya Saintess's mind was greatly shaken, and she suddenly realized, "You mean, I should secretly investigate who wasn't poisoned, and that person might be the poisoner, the source of the mysterious force hidden within the White Emperor Family?"
"Whether it's the source is unknown, but it's definitely related to the source of the mysterious force you're looking for, at least it's one of their pawns!"
"You're right, but... it's not that easy to investigate them..."
