Chapter 205 - Losing Control Of Bowels

The crowd exploded into an uproar upon seeing Qin Tian’s arrival. While the Blood Mirage Pills might have bewitched the present cultivators, they hadn’t completely lost their rationality.

Thus, Qin Tian’s arrival planted doubts in their hearts, and they began to wonder if the Blood Mirage Pills had an issue with it.

“Patriarch Qin, the Cloud Xing Pavilion is honored by your presence. However, due to the large crowd here, may I suggest we move inside for our discussion?” Li Wuhai extended an invitation to Qin Tian to move deeper into the Cloud Xing Pavilion, citing the crowd as a reason for the inconvenience.

“No need. Let’s discuss it here. Since someone has raised concerns about the Blood Mirage Pills, shouldn’t the Cloud Xing Pavilion cooperate with the investigation?” Qin Tian’s words carried weight. After all, it was only natural to investigate a matter when questions were raised, especially since the Cloud Xing Pavilion was open for business.

“Patriarch Qin, if everyone starts questioning us daily, does that mean the Cloud Xing Pavilion should just shut down?” Li Wuhai retorted, pointing at Liu Wuxie’s group with a hint of frost in his eyes.

What both sides said made sense.

“Are you afraid, Pavilion Master Li?” Liu Wuxie asked, looking at Li Wuhai with a teasing smile. It was clear to everyone that the Cloud Xing Pavilion was hiding something. The more they tried to hide, the more doubts arose among the crowd. They might as well let Liu Wuxie point out the problem in the Blood Mirage Pills straightforwardly.

After all, why should the Cloud Xing Pavilion be afraid if there was no issue with the Blood Mirage Pills, and what was Li Wuhai trying to hide?

This made everyone question whether the Cloud Xing Pavilion would increase the price. They were already addicted to the Blood Mirage Pills, and Liu Wuxie’s words shook their trust.

“I’m not afraid!” Li Wuhai retorted, gritting his teeth, wishing he could tear Liu Wuxie apart on the spot.

“Since you’re not afraid, why are you trying to stop me from proving that the Blood Mirage Pills are poisonous?” Liu Wuxie retorted. None of them were willing to step back, and the standoff continued. If Qin Tian hadn’t been present, Li Wuhai would probably have made a move to take Liu Wuxie’s life by now.

Qin Tian’s positioning was intriguing as he stood between Liu Wuxie and Li Wuhai. If Li Wuhai wanted to confront Liu Wuxie, he would have to bypass Qin Tian. It was clear to everyone that Qin Tian was siding with Liu Wuxie.

“Pavilion Master Li, just let them conduct their investigation. We’ll see what they can uncover!” The cultivators backing the Cloud Xing Pavilion stepped forward, suggesting that the Treasure Pill Pavilion should investigate the Blood Mirage Pills. If there were no issues with the pills, they could deal with them later.

“We’ve been consuming the Blood Mirage Pills for a long time, and we’re still healthy. But the Treasure Pill Pavilion insists that they are poisonous. The Treasure Pill Pavilion needs to explain this, or we won’t purchase more pills from them in the future!” The crowd erupted, criticizing the Treasure Pill Pavilion.

Yet, for some reason, Liu Wuxie responded with a smile instead of anger.

Seeing so many people supporting the Cloud Xing Pavilion, Jiang Yue also felt a sense of pride. This was the perfect opportunity to deal with Liu Wuxie. Jiang Yue challenged, “Liu Wuxie, what if you can’t find anything wrong with the Blood Mirage Pills?”

“Idiot!” Li Wuhai glared at him furiously before Jiang Yue could finish. If they insisted that there was no issue with the Blood Mirage Pills and prevented the Treasure Pill Pavilion from proving, this matter would eventually end. But what Jiang Yue said gave the Treasure Pill Pavilion a perfect excuse.

“If we can’t prove what we said about the Blood Mirage Pills being poisonous, we’ll take our lives immediately on the spot. Are you all satisfied with this answer?” Liu Wuxie replied with a devilish smile as he had been waiting for Jiang Yue to say that. Even if Jiang Yue hadn’t said it, Liu Wuxie would have forced him to say that.

Hearing what Liu Wuxie said, even the supporters of the Blood Mirage Pills began to sway. More people were swayed this time because this matter involved their lives and safety.

“I support the Treasure Pill Pavilion’s investigation!” The first person voiced their opinion. They were determined to uncover the truth and ascertain whether the Blood Mirage Pills were poisonous, as claimed by the Treasure Pill Pavilion.

“I also agree with the investigation. I’ve been taking it for a month, and I noticed that aside from the comfort from eating it, my cultivation increases very slowly.” More people stepped forward to support the Treasure Pill Pavilion.

“Pavilion Master Li, since everyone insists on investigating the Blood Mirage Pills, what is the Cloud Xing Pavilion’s stance on this?” Qin Tian asked, smiling as he stroked his beard.

This placed the Cloud Xing Pavilion in a difficult position. If they insisted on preventing the investigation, it would probably spark public anger among the crowd, and their position would plummet.

Li Wuhai glanced at the higher floors of the pavilion, but he didn’t receive any indication. He could only grit his teeth and say, “If there’s no issue with the Blood Mirage Pills, all of you will have to die today!”

Both sides already had a feud between them. If Liu Wuxie couldn’t prove that the Blood Mirage Pills were poisonous, he would have to die today.

“Master Mao has already revealed the ingredients used in the Blood Mirage Pills. It contains the Snake Demon Flower, which is highly corrosive and addictive. Most importantly, it continues to accumulate within the body until death,” Liu Wuxie stated, scanning the crowd.

“Stop talking nonsense and present the proof!” Without evidence, Liu Wuxie’s words were mere allegations to everyone. This meant that the Treasure Pill Pavilion had to produce evidence that could convince everyone.

“Before presenting the evidence, I have a question for everyone. What do snake demonic beasts fear the most?” Liu Wuxie wasn’t in a hurry to present the evidence.

“Apart from feline demonic beasts, they should fear avian demonic beasts the most.” Nature maintains balance, and everything in the world has its natural enemy. The same principle applied to demonic beasts.

The Snake Demon Flower could be found in snake dens, and the flowers were a source of food for them. If humans took pills with Snake Demon Flowers as the ingredient, snake genes would form within their bodies.

“Those who fear these two types of demonic beasts, move to the left. Those who don’t, move to the right.” Liu Wuxie instructed the crowd, which consisted of over five hundred people, all of whom had a considerable level of cultivation.

“What kind of joke is this? How could we possibly fear feline or avian demonic beasts?” Liu Wuxie’s words were met with ridicule from the crowd. Everyone moved to the right, indicating that no one feared the two types of demonic beasts.

“Gao Hong, open the box!” Once everyone had chosen their sides, Liu Wuxie gave Gao Hong the command.

Qin Tian watched Liu Wuxie curiously, eager to see what he was planning. He was puzzled about how the Blood Mirage Pills could be connected to demonic beasts.

“Roger that!” Gao Hong positioned himself in front of the box and opened it, releasing a terrifying demonic energy into the main hall. It was a mature Head-Hunting Eagle, a second-grade demonic beast equivalent to the Xiantian Realm.

The Head-Hunting Eagle was confined in the box, but as the box was sealed earlier when it was brought in, its aura couldn’t spread out. But the moment the seal was removed, the demonic energy of the Head-Hunting Eagle spread throughout the main hall.

“Arghhhh!” A series of screams echoed in the main hall as hundreds of cultivators clutched their heads, crouching on the ground and trembling in fear. They even gave off a foul stench that filled the hall.

The unfolding scene took everyone aback. The cultivators, who had previously claimed they harbored no fear, were now sprawled on the ground, terrified to the point of losing control of their bodily functions. The presence of the Head-Hunting Eagle suppressed their souls and bloodlines, becoming their nemesis.

While metal may melt under high temperatures, it’s far from useless. Metal can be utilized to forge weapons, and a sharp sword made of metal can slice through a tree. Moreover, wood can be used to ignite a fire. Interestingly, both metal and wood share a common weakness—fire. This forms a cycle where each element has its strengths and vulnerabilities. This is a fundamental principle that governs the world.

Just as in nature, the cultivators had encountered their ‘fire’ in the form of the Head-Hunting Eagle.

Jiang Yue was dumbfounded when he saw this scene, as it overturned his understanding of the world. He couldn’t comprehend how these people could fear such a tiny demonic beast.

Only Li Wuhai’s face was terrifyingly grim. This was the suppression of the bloodline that disregarded cultivation.

Qin Tian had a hint of shock in his eyes, which confirmed an issue with the Blood Mirage Pills.

“Quick...close the box! I can’t hold it any longer!” A cultivator in the pinnacle Spirit Cleansing Realm roared as he lay on the ground, begging Gao Hong to seal the box to isolate the demonic energy.

Gao Hong turned to look at Liu Wuxie, who waved his hand and signaled that the box could be closed. He quickly sealed the box, isolating the demonic energy.

Just a moment ago, many cultivators felt the fear of death as though there was a dagger on their necks that would stab through their souls. This suppression rendered them helpless as it came from their bloodline.

Gradually, hundreds of people managed to rise from the crowd. However, half of them had lost control of their bodily functions due to fear, resulting in a foul stench permeating the air. Yet, no one ridiculed them, as everyone was more or less in the same state of fear.

“What is happening? Someone needs to explain this!” The crowd was furious. They were certain they weren’t afraid of avian demonic beasts, which implied that there was indeed a problem with the Blood Mirage Pills.

They considered themselves lucky not to have ventured into the mountain range for training. Otherwise, they could have been killed if they encountered avian demonic beasts.

All eyes turned to Liu Wuxie, awaiting his explanation. After all, he was the one who had brought in the Head-Hunting Eagle, and he must know the secret behind the Blood Mirage Pills.

Qin Tian also turned his gaze towards Liu Wuxie. Many disciples of the Qin Clan had consumed the Blood Mirage Pills over the past month. If this issue couldn’t be resolved, it would be a significant setback for the Qin Clan.

Master Mao and Sang Yan shared a look, both aware of the Blood Mirage Pills’ defect. Their recklessness and lack of a sound plan had nearly cost them their lives. If not for Liu Wuxie’s intervention, they would have met their end.

Lan Ruoyu was gripped by fear, having ingested the Blood Mirage Pills herself. However, her distance from the box lessened the intensity of her discomfort.

The members of the Cloud Xing Pavilion were on edge. If there was indeed a problem with the Blood Mirage Pills, they would be pursued by all the cultivators in the Imperial City, and their pills would no longer find buyers.

Liu Wuxie found himself the target of hundreds of intense stares. Anyone else in his position would undoubtedly be flustered, but Liu Wuxie, for some reason, maintained an eerie calm.

"I\'ve already given the answer, and if you carefully recall my words, you\'ll understand why."
