He Lan Tianxia

Chapter 295 The Storm Is Brewing (17)

"..." Murong Dubai remained silent. At this moment, he couldn't be sure that Prince Murong and the Pavilion Master were alright, but he seemed unwilling to let Ling Yi get involved, because getting involved would only complicate matters further.

Ling Yi glanced at everyone, then at Prince Murong, his mind in turmoil. At this point, perhaps only Jiang He could make the decision. "Guard Jiang, I'll listen to you."

The phrase "I'll listen to you" carries considerable weight. Jiang He is Prince Murong's personal bodyguard. To put it bluntly, Jiang He has the most say in everything the prince does, from eating and drinking to using the toilet. He even knows exactly which princess the prince favors. However, Jiang He is usually an unpretentious person and shows absolute respect to the prince's friends. Now, at this crucial juncture, Ling Yi's decision-making power is a sign of respect for Jiang He.

"I'm willing to let Brother Lingyi give it a try," Jiang He stated.

"Wait. Add it." Murong Dubai handed over a vial of snake venom.

"What do you mean?" everyone exclaimed in surprise. "You want to add poison?"

"I disagree," Hong Xiuying was the first to object. "The Prince and the Pavilion Master have already been poisoned to the point of vomiting blood. Adding more poison would just be killing them outright!"

"If that's not enough, bring me another bottle." Murong Dubai reluctantly handed over two bottles of snake venom.

Luo Xie couldn't hold back any longer. He grabbed Murong Dubai by the collar and pulled him in front of him like an eagle snatching a chick. "Are you addicted to drugs?"

"Whatever. Use it or not, it's up to you." Murong Dubai said expressionlessly, as he tried to put the snake venom bottle into his pocket.

Luo Xie loosened his grip and pushed Murong Dubai, who fell to the side as if his body had fallen apart. He said fiercely, "Let me tell you, if the prince doesn't wake up, I'll throw you to the wolves. You don't believe me? Try me."

Murong Dubai believed that even with the shopkeeper protecting Luo Xie Chanyu, he still had the ability to do so. He knew he was powerless against these powerful experts. The only way he could defeat them was by using poison, but this snake venom was proving surprisingly difficult to handle.

Ling Yi hesitated when he saw the snake venom that Murong Dubai handed him. If he were the one who was poisoned and not Prince Murong, he would dare to try it, but now... Ling Yi looked at Jiang He again.

Jiang He received a questioning look from Ling Yi, and for a moment he was at a loss for what to do.

What to do? Time was ticking away, and everyone's hearts were clenching even tighter.

"How about we all express our opinions and decide the fate of the Prince and the Pavilion Master together?" Jiang He felt that the Prince belonged to everyone, and he was returning this right to everyone. He couldn't make the decision himself, nor did he dare to.

“I support Lingyi’s treatment.”

“I support Lingyi’s treatment.”

"I support Lingyi's treatment." Everyone's decision was still based on stability.

"Since it's decided, let's get started." Everyone formed a human wall on the spot, hoping to help Lingyi if needed.

"Luo Xie Chanyu, heal the Pavilion Master." Ling Yi ignored the surprised looks of the monks, his tail curled up around Murong Junlan, and he began to gather his qi, saving lives was the priority.

Luo Xie also simultaneously exerted force with both hands to strike the Pavilion Master. The martial monks simply sat down on the spot, lined up in two rows, with the leading martial monk placing his palms against the backs of Murong Junlan and the Pavilion Master respectively, and pure true energy flowing in like a warm spring, circulating through the meridians.

Just as his luck was improving, Murong Dubai suddenly frowned and jumped up from the ground. His strength was not at all like that of a weakling. Then, with lightning speed, he flicked the caps off two bottles of snake venom into the mouths of Murong Junlan and the Pavilion Master respectively. Hong Xiuying was so frightened that she smashed the bottles in two quick movements, but it was too late. The snake venom was forced into their mouths.

Hong Xiuying tried to force out the snake venom, but Lingyi lost focus and his internal energy backfired, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
