Chapter 1478: Soul Leave

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

The poison in the spirit was even more effective than that of leakless fruits. Without any omen, it instantly took effect as powerful as an alchemist’s bomb. Zhang Tie almost believed that he was already dead as he felt that his body had been shattered completely. However, closely after that, Zhang Tie realized that it was not his body being shattered but the contact between his awareness and his body.

In a split second, Zhang Tie felt that his soul was removed out of his body due to the “explosion”. He became purely his awareness.

The toxicity of the poison blocked his mind sea and qi sea as well as cut off the contact between his awareness and body, his qi sea and mind sea completely.

Zhang Tie was instantly “split up” by the poison. Besides being still sober-minded, he couldn’t control any of his cells at all.

The toxicity of the poison in the spirit was unimaginably overbearing and weird. Additionally, this poison appeared to be specially targeted at knights. Zhang Tie faintly remembered that he had heard about the name of this poison in the Mountain of Brightness.

It was Soul Leave——the number one poison in the world.

With cracking sounds, Gu Caidie and Yuan Ziyi instantly passed out as they bent over the table, pushing all the bowls and trays onto the ground as they were also poisoned.

Watching Gu Caidie and Yuan Ziyi bending over the table in a split second, Zhang Tie became disappointed completely.

This was a trap targeted at him. All the details had been considered only for this moment.

Since Ma Aiyun, Gu Caidie and Yuan Ziyi offered condolence in the old mansion, the trap had been triggered. The time that they offered condolence was arranged on purpose so that they could appoint to meet Zhang Tie here in case of any suspicion.

If they came to Golden Light City a few days earlier, Zhang Tie would not have time to meet them here. Because so many powerhouses including Bai Suxian, Mountain Lifting Hermit and elders of Huaiyuan Palace were on his side a few days ago, when the trap-maker could find a chance to poison him at all.

Today was most suitable. The old man’s funeral ceremony had almost come to an end while all the guests had returned, leaving Zhang Tie alone. Therefore, the trap-maker suddenly caught the opportunity to poison him.

Gu Caidie and Yuan Ziyi didn’t know what happened at all as they both looked nothing strange. In this case, two attendants who knew nothing about the conspiracy worked as the best cover, reducing Zhang Tie’s alert to the minimum.

The trivial detail that they had the waiter to serve dishes and drinks after Zhang Tie arrived reduced Zhang Tie’s vigilance again.

The trap-maker had also understood Zhang Tie well as he dared poison Zhang Tie in the first glass of spirit. He knew that Zhang Tie would not refuse the first glass of spirit toasted by his three senior sister apprentices.

The culprit was so considerate and vicious that even Zhang Tie felt chilly about his deed.

‘Senior sister apprentice Ma doesn’t have such an ability; neither does she have such a motive. She must be threatened under one’s control.’

Zhang Tie couldn’t move anymore. He just watched Ma Aiyun whose face had been covered with tears as he asked using his eyes, “Why?”

Ma Aiyun walked towards him as she tightly hugged Zhang Tie by arms. Her tears dropped onto Zhang Tie’s body as she answered with sobs in a lower tone, “Sorry...sorry...it’s for our kid...I have to do that...If not...they would kill our kid...They’ve promised me...as long as they get your secret skill and cultivation method of divine dominator, they would let go of you and our kid... From then on, we could live together...”

‘Our kid?’

Although Zhang Tie couldn’t speak or move, his heart still pounded immediately as he thought, ‘Ma Aiyun got pregnant in the evening in Heavens Cold City?’

After recalling what happened that night seriously, Zhang Tie suddenly became shocked. ‘That night, I drank a lot and felt a bit sleepy. Senior sister apprentice Ma slid into my tent in the midnight. I had a one night stand with her. I couldn’t remember whether I had made her pregnant or not.’

The moment he heard the “as long as they get your secret skill and cultivation method of divine dominator, they would let go of you and our kid...”, he had known that they were cheating her. However, Zhang Tie couldn’t tell Ma Aiyun about that at this moment.

After saying some words to him in a low tone, Ma Aiyun decisively wiped off her tears. She then walked to the window and opened the bamboo curtain, hanging a red lantern on the window.

In less than 1 minute, the wooden floor suddenly revealed a hole while three people in black clothes drilled out of there from the water. One of them was gloomy in his 50’s. After checking Zhang Tie and found that Zhang Tie couldn’t move anymore, he let out a sigh of relief.

In a few seconds, this man had searched over Zhang Tie’s whole body and collected all of his belongings including remote-sensing finger rings and put all of them into a bag. After that, he threw a glance at Gu Caidie and Yuan Ziyi. As a cold light flashed across his eyes, he shot out two battle qi from his finger and broke the heart meridians of the two women. In a split second, they spurt out blood from their mouths. After quivering a bit, they became still.

Zhang Tie’s two senior sister apprentices died in front of Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie watched them while tears rolling down...

“Ah, you promised me to not kill them...” Ma Aiyun charged at him; however, that man moved too fast. Additionally, his battle strength was many times greater than that of Ma Aiyun.

The moment Ma Aiyun moved, another person on her side had struck her hindneck by a palm. Ma Aiyun instantly passed out as she fell down.

Zhang Tie gazed at these strangers with tears in eyes. That one who killed Gu Caidie and Yuan Ziyi appeared to be shocked by Zhang Tie’s decisive eye light; however, he remained silent. With a cold expression, he instantly got some snake-shaped black metal needles from the air before stabbing them into Zhang Tie’s qi sea, chest and back...

Zhang Tie quivered all over a bit with great pain. Closely after that, he saw endless dark. Before passing out completely, he heard the icy words, “Take him away...”

After that, Zhang Tie felt being covered by something as he was carried and slid into the water...

Hearing the surging billows time and then, Zhang Tie was in endless dark and pain...
