Poisoned

Hidden in the sleeve, Hei Wu held the vial of toxicant named 'Bone Eroding', which he had obtained last night. Taking advantage of the chefs' distraction, he sneaked into the kitchen.

The kitchen operated in two shifts. The first batch of meals prepared was for Qin Guang, the Sect Master, Elders, and other people with status. These meals were more sumptuous, with chicken, duck, fish and eggs. The rest were for the ordinary disciples. Although they ate quite well, there was a noticeable difference compared to what the Elders enjoyed.

Hei Wujian couldn't wait for Su Qian and the others to consume the poisoned food. He noticed that the exquisite dishes meant for the Elders were already prepared and kept warm in small containers made of flame crystal. This gave him an idea.

He cleared his throat and called out, "Someone come."
