"Gu poison?" Hearing these words, Chu Feng immediately began to examine his body. He discovered that the jade pendant had already dissipated into an energy and vanished, yet he had not noticed any danger within his body.
"Senior, are you joking? This is not a very funny joke." However, Chu Feng remained very cautious, for he could see in Du Xiangyu's gaze that her words did not seem to be a deception.
"Chu Feng, I am not trying to scare you. I know you are immune to all poisons, but this gu poison is different from ordinary poison. It is both a poison and a gu."
"If you don't believe me, I will teach you a Technique. Once you execute this Technique and sense your Dantian, you will be able to detect this gu poison." As Du Xiangyu spoke, she demonstrated a set of Techniques for Chu Feng.
Seeing this, Chu Feng did not dare to slack off. He hurriedly performed the Techniques as instructed by Du Xiangyu, then proceeded to sense his own Dantian.
Upon sensing it, Chu Feng's brows furrowed instantly, and a glint flashed through his eyes, for he discovered something astonishing.
Within his Dantian, there truly was an alien object. It was not merely a poison, but something highly destructive that also possessed life, and at this moment, it lay dormant within his Dantian.
If this thing awakened, it could destroy his Dantian. No wonder Du Xiangyu had said that if she did not give him the antidote, his cultivation would be crippled.
"Hehe... Senior, I, Chu Feng, truly misjudged you."
"You really do live up to the appearance of a senior."
At this moment, Chu Feng let out a cold laugh, his expression turning gloomy. His words carried a strong tone of sarcasm; he was genuinely angry.
Although he had been somewhat wary of Du Xiangyu from the start, he had never imagined she could be so insidious.
Du Xiangyu truly was an old monster who had lived for ten thousand years, managing to outmaneuver him without him even realizing it.
"Young friend Chu Feng, you may resent me, but please do not resent Wanwu, and do not resent the Poison Clan."
"This was my only option, as I was afraid you would not help Wanwu."
"If you help Wanwu bring that gu back, I will immediately give you the antidote. I will absolutely not break my word." As she spoke, Du Xiangyu unexpectedly dropped to her knees before Chu Feng with a thump, raising her right hand and declaring:
"I, Du Xiangyu, swear to the Heavens. If young friend Chu Feng helps my Poison Clan this time, and I still do something to wrong him, then I, Du Xiangyu, shall be eternally damned and never find salvation."
"You..." Facing this Du Xiangyu, Chu Feng was truly quite helpless, not quite knowing what to do.
Actually, Du Xiangyu wasn't entirely bad. If she were truly that wicked, she could have kept threatening him the entire time. There was no need for her to kneel before him and swear to the Heavens.
Moreover, her extremely aged face now revealed an expression of profound agony.
From this, it seemed she was also conflicted, struggling internally.
Presumably, she did not completely trust Chu Feng either, and had poisoned him as a precaution. Yet at the same time, she actually felt quite guilty and sorry for him.
"Senior, please get up. I agree to help with this." Chu Feng helped Du Xiangyu to her feet and said, "However, I have one request."
"Whatever request you have, please state it," Du Xiangyu said.
"Since this secret method can bring two people out of the valley, besides Du Wanwu, I will bring one more child out with me," Chu Feng said.
"A child? Which child? What is their name?" Du Xiangyu asked in quick succession.
"A child from the village. An ordinary child, named Gou Dan'er." Chu Feng did not tell the truth.
