Chapter 223: Chapter 223: Meeting with Lord Black Emperor [First Update]"Master, go faster!" Ye Xuan was edgy, always feeling that something was about to go wrong. "Kid, we’re already going over 150 yards, can’t go any faster," said the taxi driver. Ye Xuan frowned slightly and glanced back; the car was speeding so fast, yet not a single police car was in sight. However, he clearly had no mind to ponder over this issue, as his phone rang. Ye Xuan immediately grabbed the black and white Nokia and glanced at it. He thought it was Luo Wei calling, but the number displayed on the screen surprisingly belonged to Lu Miaochan. "Miaochan, how’s the situation over there?" Ye Xuan answered the call and asked. However, what came from the other side was a deep male voice: "Ye Xuan, if you want to save Lu Miaochan, come to Huayin Mountain outside West Suburb City immediately. There’s an abandoned mine here. Don’t call the police, or else, your little lover is as good as dead! Oh, and you need to get here before sunset. If you don’t show up in time, we’ll rape her first, kill her, and dump her body in the wilderness, hahaha..." Ye Xuan’s face immediately changed upon hearing these words, a biting chill flashing in his eyes: "Who are you, daring to lay a hand on my woman? I’ll kill you!" "Heh heh, if I’m afraid of being killed, I wouldn’t have shown up! Cut the crap, show up if you have the guts." The man scoffed coldly and then hung up, and a droning tone came from the phone. "Damn it!" Ye Xuan’s expression darkened, realizing he was still a step behind and Lu Miaochan had already been kidnapped; this call was clearly to notify him. Obviously, the perpetrators were targeting him; they abducted Lu Miaochan merely as bait to lure him into their trap at the abandoned mine, which was undoubtedly an ambush. Lu Miaochan was an innocent victim in all of this! "No matter who you are, daring to touch my woman, I’ll make sure you regret being born into this world!" At this moment, Ye Xuan was extremely angry, murderous intent overflowing in his eyes, almost tangible. What Ye Xuan hated most was others attacking people close to him, especially harming his woman, which was utterly intolerable to him. Dragon’s Scale, never to be offended! Those who do, die without exception. "How’s Luo Wei doing?" Ye Xuan furrowed his brows, took a deep breath, and temporarily suppressed the boiling killing intent in his heart. Since the target was him and they had called him at this moment, it meant that at least Lu Miaochan was safe for now! There was still an hour and a half before sunset, so she should be temporarily safe. But Luo Wei was another matter; by asking him to escort Lu Miaochan, he had inadvertently dragged him into this mess. Soon, the taxi arrived at the northern part of Zhongshan Road, the site of the incident. After getting out of the car, Ye Xuan immediately spotted the Audi ahead with its doors flung open, empty inside. On the ground in front of the car lay a person—it was Luo Wei. Ye Xuan walked over and crouched down to check; Luo Wei was pale, with purplish lips, clearly poisoned. On the back of his right hand was a wound leaking black blood, as if he had been bitten by something. After calling his name twice and getting no response, Ye Xuan checked his breath, which was incredibly faint! Ye Xuan’s brows were tightly knit as he used his x-ray vision to assess Luo Wei’s internal condition, discovering that the poison had already spread throughout his body. If not removed promptly, there was no chance of recovery. The situation was tricky; he had no antidote on hand, only able to use acupuncture to seal the acupuncture points around the body to hinder the poison’s spread. But this method could only keep someone alive for three days; without a proper antidote within that time, even an Immortal couldn’t save him. Ye Xuan only utilized someone like Luo Wei, a local boss; such people were profit-oriented and far from being considered friends. Because if Ye Xuan weren’t this strong, Luo Wei would not be willing to work for him. Nevertheless, Luo Wei was in this predicament because of him, and now his life was in jeopardy; Ye Xuan couldn’t just stand by and watch him die! "Who’s there?" Just then, Ye Xuan’s gaze sharpened, staring straight ahead at the crossroads, an icy chill spreading across his face: "You’ve been following me for so long, aren’t you going to show yourself? Or do I have to invite you out?" Rustle... rustle... The sound of steps on dry leaves. Suddenly, a woman dressed in black leather emerged slowly from the flowers at the center of the crossroads. "It’s you?" After seeing the face of the newcomer clearly, Ye Xuan frowned. This beautiful woman in black leather was none other than Qiu Mohan, a level three captain of the Dragon Soul organization. No wonder he had been speeding without encountering any police cars. It seemed she had cleared the way for him in advance. "Dragon Soul’s Qiu Mohan pays respects to Lord Black Emperor!" Qiu Mohan approached with respect and bowed at a ninety-degree angle to Ye Xuan, her tone imbued with a tinge of complexity. The young man before her was the famed Black Emperor who had shaken the Dark World; he was actually so young? Although reluctant to believe it, the words uttered by the Northern Dragon King that night still echoed in her ears, compelling Qiu Mohan to accept the truth. "Why are you following me?" Hearing Qiu Mohan address him as Black Emperor, Ye Xuan knew that Long Yan, the old guy, must have revealed his identity to her. But that was fine; it saved him the trouble of this little Dragon Soul captain coming after him on a whim to apprehend him! "I..." Just as Qiu Mohan was about to speak, Ye Xuan suddenly asked, "Do you have any detoxification medicine with you?" The Dragon Soul was a national organization, and every member on a mission would carry various types of medicine, all top-tier equipment. They were generally used for assistance and healing, as well as for emergency situations, but it was unknown if they carried any detoxification medicine. Upon hearing this, Qiu Mohan was startled but nodded and said, "Yes, you..." "Quickly give it to me." "Oh, alright." Qiu Mohan nodded foolishly and took out a palm-sized metal box with an infrared electronic screen in the middle, which she unlocked by scanning her iris. Beep! The metal box automatically opened, revealing a small drawer subdivided into several compartments containing various medicines. Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s mouth twitched. Damn! Even a box for holding medicines was made so high-tech. "This is the Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill; it can detoxify hundreds of poisons," Qiu Mohan respectfully handed over a red pill and said. My god! Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill? That name... gave Ye Xuan quite the headache! "Does your Dragon Soul have someone called the Immortal Pharmacist who specializes in concocting such medicine? Made by collecting dew from nine types of flower petals at dawn, fragrant and refreshing, which after ingestion rejuvenates the spirit, invigorates the body, and can prolong life?" Ye Xuan teased her. "How did you know?" Qiu Mohan was surprised, then she furrowed her brows and said, "Indeed, there is a pharmacology expert called the Immortal Pharmacist in Dragon Soul, and the Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill is his creation, but, this person has a peculiar temperament and seems to have only concocted this one type of medicine." Ye Xuan was speechless. Damn, how did I guess that right? There’s really an Immortal Pharmacist in Dragon Soul? But if Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill is a unique spiritual medicine of the Immortal Pharmacist, could it really be true? At that moment, he did not have time to worry about irrelevant matters; he took the Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill and shoved it into Luo Wei’s mouth. Next, Ye Xuan brought out several silver needles to unblock Luo Wei’s meridians, quickening the vaporization of the medicine, purging the poisonous blood. The dark blood at the wound turned red, as the toxins inside were completely neutralized! Simultaneously, the medicinal effects of the Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill began to take hold, restoring Luo Wei’s pallid complexion back to normal!
