Chapter 1675: A Request for Help (2)

"Young friend Chu Feng, please, go ahead." Du Xiangyu said to Chu Feng with a warm smile, her appearance looking quite kindly.

As for Chu Feng, he really didn't want to enter this cave as a guest, but he knew that even if he wanted to leave, he couldn't. Left with no choice, he had no option but to step inside.

After entering the cave, Chu Feng was first led to a rather solemn and dignified sitting room, where he was left alone.

Although he was by himself, the Poison Clan had still prepared refreshments for him. Chu Feng didn't stand on ceremony — after all, he'd been through days of hardship, and when presented with fine food, how could he not eat?

If Gou Dan and the others could see Chu Feng boldly eating the refreshments offered by the Poison Clan, they'd probably be scared out of their minds.

But Chu Feng wasn't afraid at all. Even Du Wanwu's Heaven-gifted Divine Poison couldn't do a thing to Chu Feng — could anyone else in the Poison Clan possibly poison him?

Moreover, Chu Feng was firmly convinced that the Poison Clan wouldn't dare poison these refreshments. After all, doing so would be pointless.

After quite some time, Du Xiangyu finally entered with Du Wanwu in tow. The two of them had clearly already had a conversation, otherwise Du Wanwu's hostility toward Chu Feng wouldn't have decreased so significantly.

Once Du Xiangyu appeared, the first thing she said caught Chu Feng slightly off guard, though it also seemed somewhat expected.

"Young friend Chu Feng, I don't like beating around the bush, so I'll get straight to the point. There is a matter in which I hope you can help us," Du Xiangyu said.

"Senior, please speak freely," Chu Feng said with a smile.

"To be perfectly honest, when our clan's ancestor — the legendary Poison Demon — came to this place, he set up the Poison Mist Array in every direction, above and below, on all sides."

"As you are no doubt aware, its purpose was to guard against the ancestor's great enemy — the Three Houses."

"But what you may not know is that the Poison Mist Array not only kept outsiders from coming in — it also kept us, the people of the Poison Demon Clan, trapped inside."

"Those outside can't get in, and we inside can't get out. And when our ancestor set it up back then, he had his own reasons."

"He believed that if his descendants couldn't even break through the Poison Mist Array, they would have no right to venture out into the Martial Sacred Land, and certainly no right to face the people of the Three Houses."

"To this day, a full fifteen thousand years have passed. In truth, our clan has long grown accustomed to this peaceful, settled life."

"But Wanwu is a rare talent for poison manipulation — the likes of whom hasn't appeared in our clan since the ancestor himself. What's more, his Heaven-gifted Divine Power happens to be a poison as well, which is exceedingly rare and invaluable."

"In my eyes, Wanwu's arrival is nothing short of a blessing from heaven upon our Poison Clan. I don't want him to live out an ordinary life at the bottom of this valley. I want him to return to the Martial Sacred Land and see what the world has to offer," Du Xiangyu said.

"May I ask, Senior — are you saying that even you yourself cannot break through the Poison Mist Array?" Chu Feng asked.

"That's correct, we cannot. Over the many years, quite a few people from the Martial Sacred Land have entered the Poison Mist Array, and every single one of them perished."

"And among our own Poison Clan, there have also been many who attempted to pass through the Poison Mist Array and reach the Martial Sacred Land — but they too all died." At this, Du Xiangyu let out a bitter laugh.

"Then Senior, what kind of help could I possibly offer?" Chu Feng asked.

"I hope that you can take Wanwu out with you," Du Xiangyu said.

"I take him out?" Hearing this, Chu Feng's brows furrowed. "Senior, I'm not even clear on how I made it through the Poison Mist Array in the first place. Whether I can get back out safely is still unknown. How could I possibly take Du Wanwu out with me?"
