<h2 ss="wp-block-heading">Chapter 5294</h2>


    David didn’t join the pursuit. He stood before Snake Old’s headless corpse, gathering a wisp of pure evil energy at his fingertips and probing into his dantian.


    A momentter, he withdrew his finger, a faint golden glow lingering on it. “Found it.”


    It was the unique spiritual aura of the Hu n, clearly a remnant of the treasures Snake Old had looted.


    “Master Hu, it seems your n’s relics are likely in the Ten Thousand Poison Hall.”


    Hu Mazi heard this, his hand trembling slightly as he gripped the talisman. “My ancestors’ belongings… I must get them back!”


    The three of them made their way through the corpse-strewn ground towards the Ten Thousand Poison Hall.


    The poisonous miasma along the way retreated in the face of David’s evil energy, and even the venomous insects that had been hiding in the shadows burrowed into the mud, refusing to emerge.


    The gate to the Ten Thousand Poisons Hall was forged from the skull of some enormous beast, its tusks clung to dried human skin.


    Eight guards d in scaled armor nked the gate, their skin a strange bluish-purple hue. They clutched spears iid with poison crystals.


    “Stop!” the leading guard shouted, his spear pointed directly at David. “Anyone trespassing through the Ten Thousand Poisons Hall will die!”


    David, unwilling to waste words, casually swung his Dragon ying Sword.


    A golden-ck sword beam, several feet long, pierced the air, cleaving the eight guards, spears and all, and striking the skull-shaped hall door.


    “Crack…”


    The solid bone door shattered like porcin, revealing the eerie hall within.


    A poisonous fog ten times thicker than outside filled the hall. On a high tform in the center sat an old man in a green robe. In a bronze cauldron before him, a roiling dark green liquid simmered, emitting a sickening odor.


    It was the master of the Ten Thousand Poisons Valley, Wan Duzi.


    Wan Duzi


    slowly raised his head. His face seemed woven from poison ivy, pale green veins woven through his skin. His eyes were a pure dark green, with no visible pupils.


    “Did the snake die of old age?”


    His voice rubbed like two pieces of rotten wood. “You’re quite capable, no wonder you dared to trespass in my Ten Thousand Poison Valley.”


    David stepped into the hall, his murderous aura forming an invisible barrier around him, keeping the poisonous mist out. “Hundreds of years ago, the Hu family was exterminated, and you were one of the masterminds.”


    It wasn’t a question, it was a statement.


    Wan Duzi let out a strangeugh, hisughter carrying the sound of dripping mucus that made one’s teeth ache. “Indeed, that old man Hu’s ‘Immune to All Poisons’ is indeed a good material for refining poisons. It’s a pity that he self-destructed. Otherwise, I would have already broken through the Earthly Immortal Realm and reached a higher realm.”


    Upon hearing this, Hu Mazi was so angry that he trembled all over, almost crushing the talisman in his hand. “You beast! I’m going to kill you!”


    “What’s the hurry?” Wan Duzi licked his lips, his dark green tongue forked like a snake. “When I refine the three of you into poison pills, it will be atonement for the regret I made back then. Especially you,” his gaze fell on David. “You possess evil spirits but are not affected by them. You are perfect for refining the ‘Yin Yang Poison Pill’.”


    “You talk too much nonsense.” David’s figure shed, and the Dragon ying Sword pierced Wan Duzi’s face with a sound of breaking through the air.


    Wan Duzi did not dodge, but simply raised his hand and pointed at the bronze tripod.


    The dark green liquid swirling in the cauldron suddenly surged, transforming into a poisonous dragon. It opened its huge mouth full of fangs and bit towards David. Wherever the poisonous dragon passed, the air was corroded and sizzling.


    “A mere trick.” David’s eyes shed with a cold light, and the sword’s momentum suddenly elerated. The golden and ck sword light directly prated the poisonous dragon’s head.


    “Puff–“


    The poisonous dragon instantly disintegrated, turning into a poisonous rain that fell from the sky.


    However, before these venomous liquids could get within three feet of David, they were burned into nothingness by the evil spirit.


    “Huh?” Wan Duzi’s eyes shed with surprise, “Your evil spirit can actually restrain my Wan Du? Interesting…”
