The Last Primal

Everyone had witnessed the way their fellow disciple from earlier had died. This strange woman merely flicked her hands and a straight shot of spear materialized from pure fire essence passed through the pure man and burned his very soul out of him in a mere instant. It was the most gruesome of deaths imaginable! This woman was especially vicious!

Sensing the clear and open unmasked hostility from everyone present, Lady Pyre's gaze was cold as her lips curved higher, revealing a sinister sneer pursing the lower portion of her spotless face.

Given Lady Pyre's peculiar character, normally she would be engaged in a massacre right now instead of enduring the scoldings and humiliation of these pathetic disciples. There were multiple times when Lady Pyre had to focus herself and not attack in a state of frenzy. Though her body was shaking from anger, she swallowed everything back inside!

It turned back and glanced at her partner, her friend, Madam Dara from time to time, worried about her safety. In fact, there was a trace of worry and guilt in her eyes. She felt responsible for everything that had happened.

Lady Pyre guarded her friend's body tirelessly.

From that angle, it could block against any incoming threats!

Right then, an Azure Myst Sect disciple came beside Juno Hian and said deeply with a cold expression.

"[Reptilian] Senior Brother, I think we should just go and ignore that arrogant youngster completely! What can he do? We should just join hands to kill this vile harpy! No matter how strong she really is, there's no way it can defend against so many of us, right?"

"[Reptilian] Yeah, that's right!" Another cultivator nodded.

"[Reptilian] We can't let our brother die just like that! Everyone, let's work together to kill this woman as revenge for our fallen junior brother!"

With a darkened expression, Juno Hian pondered for a moment. Suddenly, he raised his palm and said coldly.

"[Reptilian] Everyone! Prepare to at-"

"[Reptilian] Hold on!"

A figure strode in swiftly from outside the door. Although she wore mens' clothes, her eyes resembled a painting and her features were delicate. This person was none other than the commander of Azure Myst Sect, Tai Liu.

Sweeping her gaze, she frowned when she saw the dead Azure Myst Sect disciple on the floor. When she finally caught sight of the buxom woman laying at the back, her expression changed starkly as she exclaimed with a shocked expression.

"[Reptilian] She has been poisoned… This should be! No! How could that be? Violet Haze Flower Poison?!"

The elderly man standing beside her nodded with a grim expression. "[Reptilian] Her face is pale and her lips are discolored. That's right, it should be one of the Corpse Poison Sect's signature toxic, the Violet Haze Flower Poison!"

Tai Liu was initially in seclusion cultivation but only found out that something big had happened after she was summoned urgently. She heard from her fellow disciples that one of Aiden's followers, the one called Miss Dara or Madam Dara was met with an attack on the long street at the city's southern side. Although the attacker was killed by her partner the one called Pyre on the spot, Madam Dara was still sadly already inflicted by the poison.

"[Reptilian] To think that it's the Corpse Poison Sect!"

Tai Liu's face darkened with a terrible expression.

Right now, the southern side of Xuantian City was watched over by Azure Myst Sect and the countless other smaller forces. As such, Tai Liu was initially puzzled as to who would attack so brazenly in this side of the city. It was way too brazen and lacked foresight.

She did not expect that it would be one of the five demonic doctrines, Corpse Poison Sect!

Although the Corpse Poison Sect disciples were not strong in face to face, head-on combat, many factions and cultivators were unwilling to be enemies with them. The reasoning was rather simple, they had incredibly dangerous, lethal toxins, poisons.

Every single one of these so called 'Major Toxins' were extremely fatal and even the strongest warriors or mages with abundant spiritual energy would die on the spot!

Furthermore, Corpse Poison Sect disciples were extremely cunning and ruthless. They specialized in hidden weapons and were very stealthy. It was way too simple if the Corpse Poison Sect disciples wanted to kill anyone.

A casual contact while eating, drinking or even breathing would be enough… Every common action could cause one their lives!

Even the strong experienced Elders of these factions, could die if they were careless enough. They could be poisoned unexpectedly and die without understanding what happened. These were not even uncommon examples, there were dozens of such assassinations in the past.

Most people would run far away if they caught sight of a Corpse Poison Sect disciple since they did not want to be enemies or befriend the latter. It was best to just get out of the way entirely.

Tai Liu did not understand why Madam Dara would be targeted by disciples of Corpse Poison Sect. Any disciple or martial practitioner that could release the Violet Haze Flower Poison definitely held a high status in the Corpse Poison Sect!

Why would Corpse Poison Sect send such a disciple to kill an Azure Myst Sect's guest? What was their motive?

Right then, the old man beside Tai Liu exclaimed softly.

"[Reptilian] That's strange. Given the toxic nature of the Violet Haze Flower Poison, this woman should have already turned into a puddle of blood. Why is her corpse still intact without any signs of corroding? How can she withstand such a vile power?"

Anyone who was inflicted by the Violet Haze Flower Poison would die within mere minutes. Their bodies would continue to corrode endlessly, turning them into a puddle of blood and even Grandmasters would have difficulty saving them.

Furthermore, the blood would also contain a rich amount of the Violet Haze Flower Poison and anyone coming in contact with it would be tainted by it would die as well!

Tai Liu looked at the buxom woman for a while, deep in thought.

Could she still be alive? How?

It might have been an illusion, but the paleness of Madam Dara's face and her deep purple lips seemed to have faded a little as they were looking at her.

Still… was that truly possible? Was there a chance for her?

Tai Liu had some understanding of the Violet Haze Flower Poison. Even peak Master ranked powerhouses would most likely die if they were tainted by the poison, let alone a mere warrior like this woman! This was exactly one of the most terrifying aspects of the Corpse Poison Sect! They could kill so efficiently!

"[Reptilian] What is going on here?" Pointing at the burnt corpse on the floor, the old man turned around and asked.

A disciple stood forth and pointed at Lady Pyre who was standing not far away, declaring hatefully. "[Reptilian] Our junior brother wanted to check on the woman's condition out of pure goodwill upon seeing that the latter was poisoned. However, this… this ungrateful wench killed him straight away!"

Tai Liu frowned upon hearing this.

She looked at the other party, trying to guess her thoughts on the matter. Though her fellow disciple words painted a clear picture, she felt that the situation was not as it was said. She felt that something was definitely amiss.

With a stern expression, Juno Hian shouted, not giving the opportunity to the other party to counter. "[Reptilian] Elder, Junior Sister, Azure Myst Sect is one of the top factions of the world! How can we let our disciples be killed wantonly, especially by an outsider? Since it killed a fellow disciple of ours, it'll have to pay with its life in return!"

Pausing for a moment, Juno Hian continued, "[Reptilian] They are all that young brat's people. Since his own people got into trouble, he can't escape responsibility after returning as well!"

"[Reptilian] That's right, we've got to take revenge for junior brother!"

"[Reptilian] Kill them all!"

"[Reptilian] Avenge our fallen brethren!"

"[Reptilian] Justice for our fallen brother!"

Everyone from Azure Myst Sect chanted agitatedly. The development of the events have gone far beyond Tai Liu's control. She wanted to calm everyone and ask the other party but from how the situation was unfolding the scene might even escalate before she could pass on her words.

The elderly uncle turned towards the other party, and asked with a much colder expression.

"[Reptilian] Speak truthfully! What happened here?" the old man asked the fierce looking Lady Pyre.

In return, Lady Pyre merely scoffed and didn't say a word. Her eyes were flickering with a mysterious light, she was standing in a battle-ready stance, ready to unleash infernal torture to anyone taking a step further.

This only made the situation that much worse for Tai Liu. No matter what, Aiden's group were still outsiders to them. They were not their people.

If Tai-Liu sided with them, she wouldn't be able to convince the masses and quell their bloodthirst. Instead, it might lead to internal bloodshed within the entire sect!
