Nan Jiuzhong's gaze swept across Xu Fengqiu below the stage.
The very same Old Man of the Eight Desolations in his eyes.
“Of course, Xu Fengqiu is indeed extremely heaven-defying, this is beyond doubt, but this person is arrogant, looks down on everyone, and is tyrannical and ruthless. Eventually, he will be punished by the heavens. Others don't want to bother with him, but he thinks everyone is afraid of him. How laughable.”
“Perhaps some people don't know that this Xu Fengqiu even mercilessly murdered children under the age of ten. Such a person is detested by both gods and men.”
“Where is the righteousness of a renowned sect? How could a renowned sect do such a thing? What difference is there between this and the crooked ways of evil demons?”
“……”
“Well said!”
“Sect Leader Nan speaks well!”
“Sect Leader Nan's words are true. This Xu Fengqiu has been slaughtering many sects recently. It is outrageous!”
“……”
These forces are basically weaker than the Divine Sword Pavilion.
Regardless of whether Nan Jiuzhong is right or wrong, they will naturally agree.
“However, everyone need not worry. This Sect Leader knows that some of you present have close ties with those sects that Xu Fengqiu destroyed and those people he killed.”
“He, Xu Fengqiu, dares not attack the Star Moon Sect, dares not provoke my Divine Sword Pavilion, and is playing dead there. But this Sect Leader will not let him go. I will surely act on behalf of heaven. Perhaps it won't be long before my Divine Sword Pavilion takes the initiative to attack his Myriad Ancient First Divine Sect!”
After all, Nan Jiuzhong has the support of Emperor Tianxuan behind him.
He believes that if he really wants to attack the Myriad Ancient First Divine Sect, Emperor Tianxuan will also support him.
He does indeed intend to attack the Myriad Ancient First Divine Sect.
Firstly, he is now openly opposing Xu Fengqiu, so attacking the Myriad Ancient First Divine Sect is also a matter of course.
Secondly, although he will suffer losses by attacking the Myriad Ancient First Divine Sect, it is equivalent to him completely establishing a relationship with Emperor Tianxuan.
Since Emperor Tianxuan took the initiative to let his Divine Sword Pavilion protect the Star Moon Sect, it means that Emperor Tianxuan is hostile to Xu Fengqiu and the Myriad Ancient First Divine Sect.
By directly destroying the Myriad Ancient First Divine Sect, he is essentially obtaining a ticket to curry favor with Emperor Tianxuan.
It's worth it.
He is also aware that he will suffer considerable losses, but Xu Fengqiu's inaction for the past three months shows that he is strong in appearance but weak in reality.
His Divine Sword Pavilion is much stronger than the Myriad Ancient First Divine Sect.
If he doesn't have this confidence, then he has truly lived in vain.
Xu Fengqiu took a sip of tea.
“Someone, bring wine!”
Nan Jiuzhong shouted loudly.
Subsequently, a group of people carrying wine arrived.
They came to each table one after another.
Then, they poured wine for the guests.
Nan Pingsheng walked down.
“Senior.”
He personally poured a cup of wine for Xu Fengqiu.
“Senior, please.”
Xu Fengqiu nodded: “Yes, go and take care of your matters. There is no need to attend to this old man.”
“Yes!”
Nan Pingsheng then walked away.
Whether Xu Fengqiu's plan succeeds depends on this step.
There might be a dozen seconds or so next.
If nothing goes wrong in these dozen seconds.
Then everyone present should, to varying degrees, drink this cup of poisoned wine.
Success or failure lies in these dozen seconds.
Once they drink it, there will be no way to undo it.
With their methods, no matter how skilled their medical techniques are, they can only prolong their lives for a while. The poison cannot be cured.
Nan Jiuzhong then raised his wine cup and said: “Come, everyone, let us all drink this cup together. May this cup bless the Divine Sword Pavilion, you all, and your forces with eternal prosperity!”
“Eternal prosperity!”
“Eternal prosperity!”
“Cheers!”
“Cheers!”
“……”
Subsequently, everyone raised their wine cups and drank them in one gulp.
Xu Fengqiu also took a sip of wine.
“Good wine!”
An old man exclaimed.
“Haha! As expected of the Divine Sword Pavilion. Such fine wine is not easily obtainable in the outside world.”
Nan Jiuzhong said: “Everyone, don't dislike my Myriad Sword Sect. Come, let's continue drinking!”
Xu Fengqiu just sat there calmly, drinking his wine.
He is waiting.
It takes about half an hour for the poison to take effect.
Nothing will happen during this half hour.
But in reality, within this half hour, the poison has already penetrated their internal organs.
At this time, apart from Xu Fengqiu's Heavenly Poison Pearl, there is no way to save them.
The banquet proceeded as normal.
Everyone was eating, drinking, and chatting.
Everything seemed normal.
Xu Fengqiu's worries might have been unnecessary.
They simply couldn't detect that the poison had already entered their bodies.
Time slowly passed.
“Sect Leader Nan, we must not let Xu Fengqiu continue to be so rampant. This Xu Fengqiu is simply hateful to the extreme! He claims to be doing it for the development of the sect, but he is just different from others. He is just killing! To satisfy his desire for slaughter.”
Nan Jiuzhong said: “Everyone, rest assured. This Sect Leader already has a preliminary plan. We will discuss the specifics next. It is uncertain when we will launch an offensive against the Myriad Ancient First Divine Sect.”
Everyone nodded.
In fact, the vast majority of people here are still hostile to Xu Fengqiu.
They might not have any grudges.
But they are all seniors.
And Xu Fengqiu, a junior, is so arrogant and domineering, they are displeased.
This kind of junior should have his arrogance suppressed.
“Come! Raise your glasses!”
Nan Jiuzhong raised the wine glass in his hand and stood up to greet everyone.
Everyone also raised the wine glasses in their hands.
Xu Fengqiu lowered his head and took a light sip of wine.
“The time has come.”
At this moment…
A familiar scene occurred.
“Pfft—”
Suddenly, hundreds of martial artists with relatively low cultivation levels simultaneously spat out a mouthful of black blood within one or two seconds.
“Not good! It's poison!”
They covered their chests with unsightly expressions and said in horror.
“What?”
Upon seeing this, everyone looked at them in disbelief.
“Pfft—”
Again, some people spat out black blood one after another.
“What!?”
Nan Jiuzhong looked at the scene before him in disbelief.
How could so many people be poisoned?
Something is wrong!
“It's the wine! There's poison in the wine! We might not have eaten anything, but we all drank the wine!”
A strong expert shouted loudly.
Many people quickly threw away the wine glasses in their hands.
The wine spilled on the ground, and nothing unusual happened.
“Impossible! It's impossible!”
Nan Jiuzhong frowned.
“Sect Leader Nan, what do you mean by this?”
Everyone's eyes turned to Nan Jiuzhong.
“We came to attend your son's celebration banquet, and you poisoned us?”
While they were talking, people who spat out black blood and were poisoned continued to appear.
“Nonsense!”
Nan Jiuzhong flicked his sleeves: “How could this Sect Leader poison you? This Sect Leader has no grievances with you, and our relationship is even quite good!”
“Moreover, haven't you seen? Several people from my Divine Sword Pavilion have also been poisoned!”
“Pfft—”
Nan Pingsheng also spat out a mouthful of black blood.
“Not good! I've also been poisoned!” Nan Pingsheng's pupils shrank violently, and he said with a painful expression.
“Ping'er!”
Nan Jiuzhong was shocked!
“This poison has already penetrated deep into our internal organs. We have been poisoned for quite some time!”
“What!? What kind of poison is this? We have been poisoned for so long, yet no one noticed?”
“Why didn't anyone notice when the poisonous substance was drunk!”
“Who! Who exactly is it!”
“……”
Some increasingly stronger experts were also gradually being poisoned.
A bad premonition arose in Nan Jiuzhong's mind.
Poison…
Invisible poison…
Everyone is poisoned…
Wait!
Could it be…
Xu Fengqiu!?
“It's Xu Fengqiu! It's Xu Fengqiu!”
Nan Jiuzhong suddenly shouted.
