Chapter 203: Chapter 73 Dare to Hurt Her Subordinates

As the first strand of morning light from the East tinged the clouds with red, Ye Lingyue, who had been cultivating in Hong Meng Heaven all night, walked out of Hong Meng Heaven.

Outside the room, Yan Che was already waiting.

"Sect Leader, the investigation you requested has been concluded. Yao Concubine, she was presented to Emperor Xia during a hunt, a few months back by Hong Fang," reported Yan Che, who had been sent by Ye Lingyue to investigate Yao Concubine as soon as she returned home yesterday.

During yesterday’s court alchemist competition, Ye Lingyue noticed something off about the Red Pattern Hundred Fragrance Pill.

Normally, Hundred Fragrance Pills require a hundred types of flowers for refinement, but it seemed that this top-grade Hundred Fragrance Pill contained one hundred and one types of medicinal ingredients.

Using Cauldron Breath, Ye Lingyue discovered a special medicinal grass mixed within.

At the moment, Ye Lingyue acted quickly, and used the Qian Cauldron to consume that hint of medicine.

When she returned home, she flipped through the Hong Meng Notebook, but did not find any record of this medicinal grass.

Just as Ye Lingyue was feeling disappointed, she unexpectedly discovered in the Five Poison Treasure Record of the Jade Hand Poison Master, a record of the herb, which was called Love Grass, a type of poisonous herb.

It was a type of poisonous insect herb, first discovered by a Female Alchemist of Miao Huang.

The female alchemist, who was infatuated with a Martial Artist who scorned her, employed the Love Grass to control his mind, ultimately leading him to personally massacre his wife, children, and family.

This event triggered the Alchemist Association of Miao Huang, who banded together, subdued the female alchemist, executed her, and destroyed all the Love Grass in Miao Huang.

Reading this, Ye Lingyue closed her eyes and sank into contemplation. The incident with Love Grass occurred hundreds of years ago; Miao Huang is tens of thousands of miles from Daxia, yet why did this type of poisonous herb appear?

Observing Emperor Xia’s enamored state with Yao Concubine, Ye Lingyue immediately realized the connection.

It seemed Yao Concubine was not as simple as she appeared.

"Sect Leader, aside from this, I’ve also discovered that the disciple of that female alchemist ultimately fled Miao Huang and was seen in Beiqing. If I’m not mistaken, Yao Concubine should be a person from Beiqing," added Yan Che.

Beiqing... Ye Lingyue suspected that behind Yao Concubine, there might be a higher existence of advanced alchemists from Beiqing or even higher.

Unexpectedly, Hong Fang, who serves as the Crown Prince’s Grand Protector, has connections with people from Beiqing.

It would be good if she could uncover the mastermind behind Beiqing.

Unfortunately, her knowledge about Beiqing was too limited.

In the "Daxia Chronicles," the records about Beiqing are sparse; Beiqing is a powerful country with numerous alchemists and Martial Artists whose strength far surpasses those of Daxia.

It looked like she needed to inquire Feng Xun about Beiqing’s situation.

As Ye Lingyue pondered, Yan Che, having finished his report, prepared to leave.

He had just taken a few steps when his figure staggered, nearly collapsing to the ground.

"Yan Che, are you injured?" Ye Lingyue hurriedly supported him.

Upon supporting him, Ye Lingyue detected a faint scent of blood.

Looking at Yan Che’s abdomen, there were specks of blood seeping out.

"Are you injured?" Ye Lingyue, ignoring Yan Che’s objections, lifted his clothing.

She discovered a thumb-sized blood hole on Yan Che’s lower abdomen, from which a foul, fishy stench emitted.

It was the first time Yan Che was so close to Ye Lingyue; like a big boy facing the girl he admired, he scratched his head, his heartbeat accelerated, like drinking strong liquor, with a warm current spreading throughout his limbs and body.

Seeing Ye Lingyue about to touch his wound, Yan Che hurriedly grabbed her hand.

Both were momentarily stunned.

Realizing that he had offended Ye Lingyue, Yan Che quickly withdrew his hand, his face as red as a piece of red cloth, stammering.

"Sect Leader, don’t touch, it’s dirty."

"You’ve been poisoned and seriously injured. Were you planning to grit your teeth and bear it without telling me?" Ye Lingyue looked like she was about to explode.

Ignoring Yan Che’s estranged expression, she insisted on checking his wound.

Upon examining, Ye Lingyue’s entire face fell.

Such a severe poison.

If it weren’t for Yan Che’s constitution, which had undergone her initial modification giving him a certain resistance to various poisons, the poison in his abdomen alone would have been enough to claim his life.

Ye Lingyue quickly took out two Detoxification Pills, applied one externally and swallowed the other. After taking it, Yan Che’s complexion improved significantly.

"Tell me, who injured you?" Ye Lingyue’s personality was just like her mother’s, Ye Huangyu, always defending her own fiercely.

Whoever dared to injure Yan Che was tantamount to injuring her.

Yan Che kept his mouth shut tightly, not making a sound.

Yan Che was usually a servant from the Lan Residence, very low-key; his nature was not to conflict with others.

"Is it because of the recent territory disputes with other forces in Xia Capital?" Ye Lingyue remembered that half a month ago, Yan Che had reported to her that recently, he planned to annex another underworld force in Xia Capital.

That force was also an old established power in Xia Capital.

Yan Che’s injuries were very likely related to this matter.

Seeing that he couldn’t hide it anymore, Yan Che could only reluctantly spill the beans.

It turned out that under Yan Che’s lead, Ghost Sect had swiftly grown to become the third largest force in Xia Capital. Now in Xia Capital, the only two organizations stronger than Ghost Sect were the other two.

The first major force in Xia Capital was Killing Hall. Although Killing Hall was the top force, it operated in mysterious ways, and its leader was an enigma.

There were rumors outside that the Killing Hall was backed by the mainland’s top Underworld Yama Palace.

"Yama Palace controls Killing Hall, and your injuries were caused by people from Killing Hall?" After hearing this, Ye Lingyue’s brows furrowed deeply.

In her mind appeared an image of a golden mask and a man’s wildly arrogant smile; the memory of his hot breath whispering in her ear caused goosebumps to rise all over her body.

Wu Zhong, that infuriating man.

If the opponent was Wu Zhong, Ye Lingyue needed to reassess the situation.

Rumors about Yama Palace were too numerous, and Wu Zhong’s power was unfathomably deep. Compared to him, Ghost Sect was like a newborn.

"No, the one who injured me is the Sha Sect Master, Yang Qing."

Even Yan Che, a newcomer who had just entered the underworld, knew the terrifying nature of Yama Palace, so he smartly avoided Killing Hall.

Planning to first annex Sha Sect and its territory before competing with the gigantic Killing Hall.

However, during a battle of wits with Yang Qing, who had over three thousand disciples, Yan Che took a fall.

"Yang Qing is a man full of tricks, and his strength is below that of a Great Primordial Pill, but he is very skilled at using poison. I was careless for a moment and got poisoned by him."

Yan Che had learned that Yang Qing was recently infatuated with a Red Card from Green Moon Building, so he heavily bribed that Red Card, and while Yang Qing was caught in a passionate tryst with that Red Card, Yan Che led ten Ghost Sect disciples to attempt to ambush and kill Yang Qing.
