#32 - Chapter 32 Who poisoned the Xinghe Sect?

Mount Xiaoyao.

Ye Kong used the endless True Flame to temper the materials.

He directly placed all the spiritual plants on the endless True Flame to roast them, creating a very strong smell.

Smoke slowly rose, forming a dark cloud that dissipated with a gust of wind.

A rich aroma gradually spread across Mount Xiaoyao.

"Yes, that's the smell," Ye Kong said with a faint smile.

Lin Yaoyao had just fed Xiao Lan and was about to go out when she smelled this scent.

"A sleeping incense?"

Lin Yaoyao immediately reacted, but it was too late to block her sense of smell.

Xiao Bai woke up from cultivation upon smelling the scent.

"Hmm? What's that smell?" Xiao Bai frowned.

Taking a deep breath.

Hiss!

Everyone who smelled the scent, whether peak master or disciple, fell asleep one after another.

Above the Star River.

Luo Yangtian smelled the scent of the sleeping incense and immediately waved his hand to activate the barrier.

"Who… is releasing poison?"

Then, he fell unconscious.

Mount Xiaoyao.

Ye Kong stopped only when the spiritual plants were roasted until yellow.

Afterward, he took some cotton to make a filter tip and wrapped the roasted leaves together.

A cigarette, made!

"Now I don't have to worry about having nothing to pass the time," Ye Kong said with a smile.

Immediately, he lit one with a lighter and took a puff.

The taste of Zhonghua cigarettes!

Although it was a cigarette, it was not harmful; a puff in, a puff out, and it was gone.

Of course, it was not harmful to Ye Kong, but for others, a whiff would make them fall on the spot.

After all, it was made from the materials of sleeping incense, not a real cigarette.

Ye Kong, with a cigarette in his mouth, sat by the Bitter Sea fishing, feeling refreshed.

He didn't know that, apart from him, the entire Star River Sect was knocked out.

Ye Kong fished for a while, looking at Lin Yaoyao's thatched hut.

"Disciple isn't cultivating, but sleeping?"

"Alas, my disciple is too lazy; her talent isn't good, yet she doesn't cultivate properly."

"And Xiao Bai too, sleeping so soundly!"

Ye Kong shook his head and sighed, fished for a while, then returned to his house to rest.

Tonight was very quiet.

The next day.

At sunrise, Luo Yangtian woke up groggily.

The people of the entire Star River Sect also woke up one after another, feeling dizzy.

They felt that they had smelled a strange scent, and then they lost consciousness.

They didn't know what had happened.

Not long after Luo Yangtian woke up, the three great elders and several peak masters rushed to the Star River Hall.

"Sect Leader, did something happen yesterday?" the Second Elder asked, cupping his fist.

Luo Yangtian nodded heavily and said in a deep voice, "I suspect that the people of the Demon Sect released poison in our Star River Sect last night."

"Before I lost consciousness, I activated the barrier, which is why I was spared!"

"Sect Leader is wise!" everyone bowed.

Yesterday, after they smelled the scent, they fainted before they could react.

If the Sect Leader hadn't activated the barrier in advance, they might not have woken up.

"The Demon Sect is too despicable; they resort to poison when they can't win!" Chen Chunyang cursed angrily.

"Yes, this subordinate suggests eradicating the Demon Sect!" the Great Elder echoed.

"The Demon Sect Ancestor was sealed by the Sect Leader with a slap; who would have thought they would still be so ignorant!" the Third Elder said fiercely.

They all thought that the Demon Sect was releasing poison.

No one would have thought that it was actually Ye Kong roasting cigarettes.

After all, who else but the Demon Sect would release such a large poisonous fog?

Luo Yangtian pondered, "Why would the Demon Sect release sleeping incense in our Star River Sect?"

"Great Elder, how is the investigation of the spies from the Demon Music Palace going?" Luo Yangtian asked through voice transmission.

"Sect Leader, there isn't a single clue," the Great Elder replied.

"Be vigilant at all times; the Demon Music Palace's ambition will not die," Luo Yangtian said in a deep voice.

"Alright, with me here, there's nothing to worry about for now; strengthen your defenses, and report immediately if there are any traces of the Demon Music Palace!" Luo Yangtian instructed.

"Yes!" everyone responded, then withdrew.

The people who woke up the next day were also discussing it.

"Yesterday, we all seemed to have been knocked out."

"It must have been done by the Demon Sect; who would be so bored as to release sleeping incense within the sect?"

"Yes, fortunately, the Sect Leader was here; the Sect Leader must have taken action while we were asleep."

"Long live the Sect Leader!"

… …

On Mount Xiaoyao.

Lin Yaoyao woke up unsteadily, rubbing her head.

She threw Xiao Lan aside, sat down to meditate and circulate her energy, restoring her clarity.

"Who released the sleeping incense?" Lin Yaoyao wondered after regaining consciousness.

Oh well, as long as nothing happened.

Xiao Bai gradually woke up in her room.

As soon as she woke up, she checked her body.

Hands, feet, eyes, nose, ears, all there.

I'm still alive, I'm fine.

I was careless; I, this emperor, would actually fall for it; it shouldn't be.

Ye Kong sat by the Bitter Sea, watching his disciple wake up, and felt relieved.

He didn't expect the power of this cigarette to be so great that it directly knocked his disciple out for a day.

I should probably hide when I smoke in the future.

Qi Refining +1… …

Ye Kong looked at the changes in his cultivation and raised his fishing rod.

Life returned to peace; these past few days of fishing have all been Qi Refining +1.

The dragon carp in the Bitter Sea swam around Ye Kong's feet.

"It broke through again," Ye Kong said with a chuckle.

The dragon carp in the pond had been following him for ten years; every time Ye Kong improved or obtained something good, the dragon carp would get a share.

If Ye Kong had a mouthful to eat, the dragon carp would have a drop of soup.

So now, don't look at the dragon carp's carp-like appearance, it has long since evolved into a dragon, and its strength is very powerful.

Strictly speaking, the dragon carp is Ye Kong's pet.

The carp dragon blew bubbles and turned over.

In the Bitter Sea, on the boundless ocean, a golden dragon stirred up waves, swallowing clouds and spitting mist, as if it were the master of the sea.

This scene could only be seen by Ye Kong.

Ye Kong touched the dragon carp's head, teased it for a while, then returned to the courtyard to take a nap.

Xiao Lan, who had woken up from her nap, strolled around with kingly steps.

It didn't need to cultivate; it only needed to eat, drink, and sleep well.

"Meow ~" Xiao Lan called out, and after confirming that there was no one around, it quickly ran to the Bitter Sea.

It wanted to eat fish.

The dragon carp in the Bitter Sea looked like a plump and long carp.

"Meow ~" The ghostly blue cat called out, pouncing on the dragon carp as it surfaced.

But when it flew above the Bitter Sea, it regretted it.

The carp dragon in front of it transformed into a long dragon, grabbing it with a claw and pressing it into the water.

"Meow meow meow ~" Xiao Lan was pressed into the water by the carp dragon, without any ability to resist.

Ye Kong had just returned when he heard Xiao Lan's voice and came out of the room.

He walked to the Bitter Sea and saw the dragon carp playing with a small blue dot.

Seeing that the dragon carp was about to swallow the small blue dot, Ye Kong reached out and grabbed Xiao Lan, pulling it out.

"This can't be eaten," Ye Kong said.

The carp dragon blew bubbles and submerged into the water.

Ye Kong led the soaking wet Xiao Lan, shaking his head.

"Why did you go into the water for no reason?"

Xiao Lan trembled all over, not knowing if it was frightened or if the wind was too strong.

"Don't run around in the future, understand?"

Ye Kong casually put Xiao Lan on the ground, put his hands behind his back, and returned to the Xiaoyao Pavilion.

If he hadn't come out in time, Xiao Lan might have died in the dragon's belly.

"Meow ~"

Xiao Lan called out tentatively, and the dragon carp surfaced.

"Meow!" The ghostly blue cat's fur stood on end as it turned and ran away.

Too scary for cats!
