Detoxified

Detoxified . . .

Qin Wentian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as he witnessed the incredible scene unfold before him. His junior brother, Jun Mengchen, had just displayed an astounding burst of energy that left Qin Wentian awestruck. It was clear that Jun Mengchen had tapped into some ancient power, unleashing a punch of unparalleled might that obliterated the disciple of the Absolute Poison Immortal King in a single strike.

The Absolute Poison Immortal King's aura fluctuated wildly, radiating a palpable pressure. His disciple had been killed on the battle platform, and this was a profound blow to his pride and authority.

Qin Wentian's gaze swept across the scene, and he couldn't help but cast a meaningful look at the Deepflame Immortal King. The Deepflame Immortal King's expression had turned equally grim. He had instigated the participant who faced Jun Mengchen, and now, the disciple of the Absolute Poison Immortal King had been defeated in a public and decisive manner. Even though the Absolute Poison Immortal King served as a war general under the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, he couldn't rightfully blame Jun Mengchen.

The Absolute Poison Immortal King's disciple had initiated the confrontation with Jun Mengchen, and Jun Mengchen had not violated any rules. The Eastern Sage Immortal Sect was hosting the banquet, and even as a war general, the Absolute Poison Immortal King couldn't justify killing an outstanding young talent like Jun Mengchen simply to avenge his disciple.

"In this situation, where all parties have suffered losses, there is no true victor. No one will come to your aid in detoxifying the poison," the Absolute Poison Immortal King declared coldly. His voice sent a chill through the room, and some of the more powerful immortal kings understood the implication of his words.

While the Absolute Poison Immortal King's disciple possessed formidable skills in using poison, the presence of so many supreme immortal king experts at the banquet meant that detoxifying the poison wouldn't be an insurmountable challenge. However, the Absolute Poison Immortal King made it clear that anyone who assisted Jun Mengchen in detoxifying the poison would be considered as having offended him.

Jun Mengchen remained seated on the battle platform, surrounded by a multitude of experts at the immortal banquet. Yet, no one seemed willing to come to his aid. This once heaven-defying young genius now appeared tragically isolated.

"With no one to detoxify the poison for him, his fate is sealed," Zuyu from the Battle Heavens Immortal Manor commented coldly.

"He brought this upon himself," Gu Zhantian added. Both of them harbored strong displeasure toward Jun Mengchen for overturning the situation and changing defeat into victory. However, with the deadly blood poison coursing through him, there was no way for Jun Mengchen to escape his impending demise.

"Even if the two of you perish, it won't save Jun Mengchen," Qin Wentian retorted fiercely. His gaze remained fixed on his junior brother, and he and Zi Qingxuan stepped forward, making their way toward the platform. Jun Mengchen greeted them with a smile, though his face had turned black from the poison. "At least I didn't disgrace our sect. Even as I step down from the platform, I shall do so with unwavering dignity."

With determination in his eyes, Jun Mengchen struggled to rise. He emitted a resolute roar and slowly descended the platform, step by agonizing step, toward Qin Wentian. Despite his condition, his eyes retained a spark of charm. Then, he closed his eyes and collapsed against Qin Wentian, finding solace in his senior brother's embrace.

Despite possessing a heaven-defying physique, Jun Mengchen was not immune to poison. His kingly aura, while powerful, could not ward off the insidious blood poison employed by the Absolute Poison Immortal King's disciple. It was a lethal weapon, especially when used against opponents of the same cultivation level. Jun Mengchen's ability to withstand the poison, defeat his adversary, and descend from the platform left the spectators in awe.

Jun Mengchen may have been impulsive and hot-blooded due to his youth, but his spirit and willpower were exceptional. His combat prowess and rare physique marked him as a truly extraordinary talent. His victory over the personal disciple of the Absolute Poison Immortal King hinted at the heaven-defying nature of his physique.

The connection between Jun Mengchen and Qin Wentian was extraordinary. If Jun Mengchen had not succumbed to the poison, both of them had the potential to rank within the top ten participants.

Qin Wentian carried Jun Mengchen back to his seat, each step determined, his countenance as cold as ice. He turned his gaze toward the Absolute Poison Immortal King and the Deepflame Immortal King.

Qin Wentian had weathered many storms in his life and understood the hidden meaning behind the Absolute Poison Immortal King's words. Since this immortal king had agreed to the Deepflame Immortal King's plan to have his disciple confront and potentially kill Jun Mengchen, he wouldn't allow others to aid Jun Mengchen now that his disciple had been defeated. The Absolute Poison Immortal King held deep-seated resentment toward Jun Mengchen for the loss of his disciple.

"Senior, I, Qin, wouldn't dare to trouble others to detoxify such a trivial blood poison. Naturally, I wouldn't inconvenience you either. Since my junior brother effortlessly defeated your disciple, I can just as easily remove the blood poison from him," Qin Wentian declared, his tone dripping with arrogance that reached the heavens. With his last sentence, he practically dismissed the Absolute Poison Immortal King. It was a clear message: We are fellow sect brothers; my junior brother can kill your disciple, and I can effortlessly eliminate the blood poison your disciple used against him.

These words showed no deference to the Absolute Poison Immortal King and directly countered his earlier remarks.

"These two are indeed fellow sect brothers, both proud and audacious, unafraid to challenge anyone," the onlookers murmured. Qin Wentian's personality bore a resemblance to Jun Mengchen's—stubborn, unyielding, hot-blooded, and boldly honest.

Regardless of the situation or the adversary, they acted according to their convictions.

The Absolute Poison Immortal King's aura surged, and the pressure he emitted grew extraordinarily intense, enveloping Qin Wentian. His eyes darkened, and a chilling aura emanated from him, causing Qin Wentian's steps to momentarily halt under the sheer force of his presence.

"Senior, what do you intend to do? You are a supreme immortal king of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. If the sect wishes, we will gladly withdraw from this event immediately," Qin Wentian retorted, employing a different tactic to outmaneuver his opponent. The Absolute Poison Immortal King couldn't afford to tarnish this once-in-a-century immortal banquet with his selfishness. He replied icily, "Boast all you want. I'm eager to see how you plan to detoxify the poison."

Qin Wentian's countenance remained as cold as ever as he continued to make his way to his seat, carrying Jun Mengchen. Zi Qingxuan walked alongside him, unwavering in her support.

All eyes in the vicinity turned toward Qin Wentian, and even Dongsheng Ting and Princess Glaze couldn't help but shift their attention to the two extraordinary individuals, Qin Wentian and Jun Mengchen.

Qin Wentian and Jun Mengchen had managed to captivate Princess Glaze, leaving her with a sense of awe. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the duo, and she couldn't help but admire their remarkable presence.

Amid this momentary distraction, Dongsheng Ting, the event's host, spoke up to refocus the participants. He urged them to continue their battles on the platform, as there were only twenty spots available, and each one was highly competitive. To secure a place, they needed to prove their prowess, and a single defeat could dash their hopes.

Meanwhile, Qin Wentian had closed his eyes, shutting out the ongoing battles. He was fully concentrated on the task at hand. A gentle white light, resembling the flicker of candle flames, emanated from him and coalesced on his fingertips, which rested on Jun Mengchen's chest.

In a silent exchange, Qin Wentian instructed Jun Mengchen not to resist and to allow the white flame to enter his bloodstream, purging the blood poison. He knew that Jun Mengchen could still hear him, as he himself had experience dealing with a similar blood poison in the past. His control over his second bloodline had improved over the years, and with Jun Mengchen's cooperation, they could expel the poison effectively.

Within Jun Mengchen's body, the white candle flames began their work. The flames seemed to carry intricate runic patterns as they flooded every part of his body, rendering it translucent. The flames acted as a purifying fire, slowly diminishing the black poison that had infected his body. The spluttering sounds were the sounds of poison being burned away.

Zi Qingxuan observed this process with astonishment. The white flames were powerful, capable of expelling even blood poisons. She wondered if this was an innate technique possessed by Qin Wentian. If it were, he might be impervious to all forms of poisons and toxins.

As the purification continued, Jun Mengchen's clarity of mind increased, and he cooperated with Qin Wentian to circulate the white flames more effectively. The black poison qi evaporated rapidly, and soon, Jun Mengchen's body returned to its original color. He opened his eyes and looked at Qin Wentian with warmth and gratitude in his gaze. In a soft, heartfelt voice, he uttered, "Senior brother."

Those two simple words, "senior brother," held more gratitude than ten thousand words could convey.

Qin Wentian advised him to quietly adjust and recover, as the blood poison was tenacious and could return if not completely removed. Jun Mengchen followed his guidance, focusing on expelling the poison.

This scene left those around them bewildered. Could it be that Qin Wentian was truly capable of detoxifying the poison?

High above, the Absolute Poison Immortal King's gaze remained fixed on the scene below. He hadn't shifted his attention for a moment. What he witnessed both shocked and infuriated him. There, before his eyes, Qin Wentian was actively detoxifying the poison that had afflicted Jun Mengchen, and the Absolute Poison Immortal King couldn't conceal his displeasure.

The Absolute Poison Immortal King, a supreme figure and a war general under the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, felt his pride wounded. His disciple had been slain in combat, his authority challenged by these audacious young cultivators, and now they had demonstrated their ability to detoxify the deadly blood poison.

Clutching his fist so tightly that his knuckles turned white, a palpable aura of vengeance and killing intent radiated from the Absolute Poison Immortal King. His eyes glimmered with a dangerous light.

Moments later, Qin Wentian delivered the news, "It's done."

With those words, a surge of radiant candle-like flames erupted from within Jun Mengchen's body, streaming back into Qin Wentian. Jun Mengchen sat up, his eyes once again vibrant and full of vitality, just as they were before the poison had struck. He turned his gaze toward the Deepflame Immortal King and the Absolute Poison Immortal King, a spark of defiance gleaming in his eyes.

"If your worthless disciple had crossed paths with my senior brother instead of me, his demise would have been a thousand times more agonizing," Jun Mengchen declared with icy resolve. The Absolute Poison Immortal King seethed with anger but found himself without a valid retort to Jun Mengchen's words.
