Transmigrated into a heretical cultivator, leading all the villains to ascension.

Chapter 35: Poisoned

The onlookers were all shocked by Gao Huohuo's ruthless act and began to discuss it amongst themselves.

"Isn't she just a young girl in the Qi Refining stage? How come she stabbed herself with a knife without any hesitation?"

"Yes, they're even more ruthless than evil cultivators! I wonder which sect they belong to?"

"It's best to avoid her from now on. You can't afford to offend someone like her. Haven't you seen how even Nascent Soul cultivators get humiliated in front of her?"

Gao Huohuo enjoyed stabbing Liu Mei, but Liu Mei suffered terribly, now lying on the ground like an octopus.

He mumbled faintly, "Mother, Mother... save me, I don't want to die."

Liu Mei was already regretting it. She should have never come. Now, she had not only failed to avenge herself, but she had also lost all face and was bleeding herself dry.

Seeing that Liu Zhi did not react, Gao Huohuo picked up the dagger, preparing to stab him directly in the chest.

Liu Mei was so frightened that she closed her eyes. If that happened again, she would surely die.

As soon as Gao Huohuo picked up the dagger, Liu Zhi was so frightened that he hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Don't move. Please don't stab me anymore. I'll do anything you want, just please don't hurt yourself anymore."

Gao Huohuo smiled smugly, "It's very simple. At this time tomorrow, prepare spirit stones equal to your daughter's life, and I will cure her Gu poison."

Poisonous Gu? No wonder it's so powerful? Looks like I'll have to go back and see the divine doctor Liu Cheng again, otherwise my Amei will be tortured to death.

After Gao Huohuo finished speaking, he turned and left, but instead of returning to the Shadow Moon Sect, he wandered around the market.

Once they had finally shaken off their pursuers, they headed towards the Shadow Moon Sect.

Liu Zhi took the barely alive Liu Mei back and immediately sent someone to invite Liu Cheng.

When Liu Cheng arrived and found Liu Mei injured like this, he was shocked. Wasn't Liu Zhi a Nascent Soul cultivator? Who could have beaten her up like this?

Could the person who hit her be a Nascent Soul cultivator?

When her mother saw her precious daughter injured like this, she was heartbroken beyond words.

"Amei, who hurt you like this? Tell your mother, and your mother will avenge you."

Liu Mei said weakly, "A cultivator at the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage."

What? Qi Refining stage cultivators? You two, one at Foundation Establishment and the other at Nascent Soul, got beaten up by a Qi Refining stage cultivator?

"Liu Zhi, what exactly happened? How can you not care about your daughter being injured like this?"

Liu Mei thought that it was because he interfered too much that she ended up in this miserable state. If her cheap father interfered again, she probably wouldn't be back today.

So she quickly spoke up to defend her adoptive father, "Mother, it has nothing to do with Father, it's all because that little vixen is too powerful."

After saying that, Liu Zhi recounted the events of the day in detail.

Upon hearing that Liu Mei's body contained a poisonous Gu, Liu Cheng's expression became unusually serious.

She glanced at Liu Mei's mother secretly, seemingly reluctant to reveal the truth.

"This poison is unlike ordinary poisons. Only the person who cast the poison can cure it, and if the person who cast the poison dies, the person who was infected with the poison will also die."

Liu Zhi asked with dissatisfaction, "Isn't there any other way?"

Am I, a dignified Nascent Soul cultivator, only meant to watch my own daughter suffer?

Upon hearing their biological daughter's words, the other three people in the room all lowered their heads in unison.

However, Liu Zhi didn't notice and was still angry about not being able to remove the curse.

It seems I'll have to prepare spirit stones first tomorrow, otherwise that little vixen will probably torment his daughter again.

Taking the opportunity, Liu Mei's mother asked, "Husband, how many spirit stones do you plan to give to that little vixen tomorrow?"

Liu Zhi thought for a moment. It was enough to show his sincerity to give her three thousand low-grade spirit stones, since she was just a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

"Three thousand low-grade spirit stones."

Upon hearing this, Liu Mei's mother and Liu Mei knew that Liu Zhi was reluctant to part with the spirit stones. He could have taken out ten thousand, but he only wanted to give three thousand.

She instantly felt that Liu Zhi was a heartless and ungrateful person. Her mother had been devoted to him for so long, but in his heart, she was only worth a few spirit stones.

Meanwhile, Gao Huohuo, who returned to her courtyard that evening, discovered that Liu Zhi's attack that day had reduced the number of heroes on her honor roll by one more.

There were quite a few people last time, but a lot of them died in the battle to besiege the Demon Sect.

As a result, her honor roll now only includes Li Erniu and Wu Liang, who are at the Golden Core stage, Liu Mei, who is at the Foundation Establishment stage, and her father Liu Zhi, who is at the Nascent Soul stage.

There was originally another Golden Core stage cultivator, but Liu Zhi just sent him away with a single palm strike.

Meanwhile, the remaining members of the Shadow Sect were pondering their next steps.

Their sect leader has just died from his serious injuries, and some of his fellow disciples who were also seriously injured have also passed away.

"A perfectly good sect is gone just like that, what are we going to do now?"

One of the disciples raised this question, but unfortunately no one answered it because they didn't know what to do next.

Only a few quick-thinking individuals had already begun peering into the sect leader's room.

So after a night, there was no sign of the Evil Shadow Sect. Only the corpses that had been searched in the house proved that someone had once lived there.

The next day, Gao Huohuo swaggered to Xie Feng's shop again, even more arrogant than the day before.

Fortunately, she had already made things clear with Xie Feng in the jade slip yesterday.

"Just pretend you didn't see what happened to Boss Xie these past few days. Don't worry about me, I'll handle it myself."

When Xie Feng received her message, he was just about to ask the Seventh Young Master for help.

After all, the Blood Demon Sect still wields considerable influence in this area, and as the Great Elder of the Blood Demon Sect, he has quite a few subordinates under his command.

However, after receiving her telepathic message, Xie Feng stopped looking for the Seventh Young Master and instead prepared to see how she would handle the situation.

After Gao Huohuo arrived, he sat down on the stool with an air of nonchalance, looking very casual.

In reality, I was extremely nervous and had opened the names of everyone on the list, constantly monitoring the surroundings with my divine sense.

What if Liu Zhi secretly uses underhanded tactics and she doesn't have time to prevent it?

Moreover, she ran away secretly today; her senior brothers and sisters didn't know.

If her third senior sister finds out that she's so audacious as to provoke a Nascent Soul cultivator all by herself, she'll give her a good scolding.

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, Liu Zhi and Liu Mei finally appeared, accompanied by a beautiful woman, presumably Liu Mei's mother.

"Oh, my dear daughter, you've arrived. Did you bring the spirit stones?"

Liu Zhi waved his hand, and his subordinates carried in a box, which was filled with low-grade spirit stones.

Gao Huohuo waved to the shop assistant and said, "Could you please count these for me? This is my reward."

After saying that, he casually tossed a storage bag containing spirit stones to the shop assistant.

The waiter went over and counted them, finding that there were exactly three thousand low-grade spirit stones, no more and no less.

"My dear daughter, you're worthless in your father's eyes!"

"Is he some kind of stepfather? Thirty mid-grade spirit stones to buy your life? Looks like your life isn't worth much either!"

As soon as Gao Huohuo said this, Liu Mei, who was already suspicious, became even more certain that her true identity had really been discovered by her cheap father.

Her mother also looked around nervously, not daring to look at Liu Zhi. Only Liu Zhi refuted Gao Huohuo's provocations:

"You little brat, stop talking nonsense. Three thousand low-grade spirit stones is already a lot."

"Have you, a Qi Refining stage cultivator, ever seen so many spirit stones in your entire life?"

Gao Huohuo sneered, stepped on the box, and said:

"What does it matter to you whether I've seen it or not?"

The question now is how much your daughter's life is worth in your heart.

If it's only worth three thousand, then I'm sorry, I'll have to take some interest back.

After saying that, Gao Huohuo took out a pill and slowly put it into his mouth.

Liu Mei thought she would finally not be stabbed today, but then her whole body stiffened, her face turned pale, and blood began to flow from her seven orifices.

The person looked creepy, with an eerie feeling that the dead had come back to life and were devouring the living.

People around him began to condemn Liu Zhi.

"How could a Nascent Soul cultivator like you only have this many spirit stones?"

"Yes, I heard he's the Grand Elder of the Blood Demon Sect. He won't even save his own daughter. He's worse than an animal."

But another person next to him chimed in, "What do you know? Maybe this daughter isn't even his own child. Why waste money?"

"Haven't you noticed that this girl doesn't look like her father at all?"

Upon hearing this, the people around them began to scrutinize the two of them closely, and even Liu Zhi himself started staring at Liu Mei.

Liu Mei's mother was so frightened that she quickly hid Liu Mei behind her back.

“You gossipy people, be careful you don’t suffer the consequences.”

Gao Huohuo spoke up at the right moment, "It seems she really isn't his daughter; even her mother is feeling guilty."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Huohuo secretly opened Liu Zhi's name and found a new name on the list, which looked like Liu Mei's mother.
