Chapter 1645 He was poisoned
A visible shockwave suddenly spread outwards from the two people, blowing off large sections of the roof of the abandoned factory below!
Yong Gu grunted, his body slid back more than ten meters by the enormous force, his feet creating ripples in the air, and his ice sword was covered in cracks, but the fighting spirit in his eyes was even higher.
A surge of cold air caused the ice sword to instantly return to its original state.
"Well done!"
Mingchuan laughed loudly, pressing his advantage relentlessly. He unleashed the Nine Dragons Sword, its power flowing like the Yangtze River, sometimes as heavy as Mount Tai pressing down with immense force.
Sometimes they are like a cunning snake emerging from its hole, cunning and ruthless!
The dark golden sword light wove a net of death, enveloping Yonggu within it.
Yong Gu responded calmly, the twin ice swords seemed to come alive in his hands, and he unleashed a set of exquisite sword techniques that combined defense and offense.
The sword techniques were not flashy, but extremely efficient and practical. Each strike contained an extreme chill, attempting to freeze Mingchuan's sword momentum, spiritual power, and even his space to move.
The icy blue sword light and the dark golden sword energy collided and struck each other in the air, producing a continuous series of explosions. The light generated by the collision of spiritual energy illuminated this desolate land as if it were daytime.
The two fought from the air to the ground, and then back up into the air. Wherever they went, the factory walls were easily pierced and cut by the sword energy, and the ground was frozen and torn apart by the sword energy, leaving a mess.
The clash between the Nascent Soul stage and the Golden Core stage was incredibly powerful.
Although Mingchuan held an absolute advantage, he could sense that Yonggu was extremely resilient and had reached a very high level of control over ice-type power.
The bone-chilling cold was all-pervasive; if his cultivation hadn't far surpassed his opponent's, he might have really been in trouble.
"That was great! Yonggu, it seems you haven't been idle these past few days!"
Mingchuan forced Yonggu back with a single sword strike, then stood there, sword in hand, his fighting spirit surging.
He knew that Yong Gu hadn't come to fight him for no reason; this sudden sparring match might have a deeper meaning.
In Yong Gu's calm eyes, besides the burning fighting spirit, there seemed to be some unspoken words hidden!
Yong Gu's lips curled up.
"You're making progress, I can't just stay stuck in the same place, can I?"
Mingchuan dispersed the surging spiritual pressure around him, and the Nine Dragons Sword transformed into a stream of light and returned to his body. He clapped his hands easily and laughed, "Alright, let's stop wasting time."
"You came all this way, you didn't come just to test my cultivation level, did you? And you're being so mysterious, you almost froze my hands off."
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
When serious matters were mentioned, the faint smile on Yong Gu's face vanished instantly, replaced by a deep solemnity, as if the surrounding air itself had frozen.
He was silent for a moment, as if organizing his thoughts, before slowly speaking, each word like an ice bead falling: "The Wolf King of the Northern Frontier... something has happened to him."
Mingchuan's smile froze abruptly, his brows furrowing instantly: "The Wolf King of the Northern Frontier? What happened to him?!"
“He’s been poisoned,” Yong Gu’s voice deepened. “A rare poison from the cultivation world.”
"Poison from the cultivation world?!" Mingchuan's pupils constricted sharply, his face filled with disbelief. "People from the cultivation world? How could they come to the human realm? And even attack your Wolf King?!"
The news was so sudden and completely unexpected.
The barrier between the two realms is not so easy to cross. The fact that people from the cultivation world descended into the human realm without reason and poisoned a high-ranking official of the country made him instantly alert to the information and crisis behind it.
Yong Gu nodded, confirming this shocking news.
"My purpose in testing you is to personally experience just how strong you have become."
He raised his eyes, his gaze as sharp as an icicle as he stared directly at Mingchuan. "If you are not strong enough, I will not involve you in this matter."
Mingchuan was taken aback at first, then laughed angrily, pointing at Yonggu and cursing, "You, Yonggu! You're still trying to pull this on me? Testing me? If I were still just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, were you planning to bear it all by yourself, watching me continue shopping with my wife here, while you went to face the enemies from the cultivation world who appeared out of nowhere?"
He grew increasingly agitated and stepped forward, shouting, "Enough nonsense! Where is the Wolf King of the Northern Frontier? What's his situation? Take me there right now!"
Seeing Mingchuan's eager and sincere attitude, Yonggu's icy gaze seemed to melt for a moment.
He didn't say anything more, just nodded simply, and then called his subordinates: "Prepare the vehicle, come pick me up immediately."
Putting away his phone, Yong Gu looked at Ming Chuan: "The car will be here soon."
Mingchuan immediately took out his phone and called Leng Xi, who was still in the mall.
The call was answered quickly, and Leng Xi's voice came from the other end: "What's wrong?"
"Xiao Xi, I have an urgent matter here. Yong Gu has arrived and said that the Wolf King of the Northern Frontier has been poisoned by the cultivation world and is in critical condition. I have to go with him immediately."
Mingchuan explained the situation concisely.
Leng Xi's calm voice came from the other end of the phone: "Okay, go ahead, be careful. Don't worry about things here."
"Okay, I'll be back as soon as I'm done." Mingchuan hung up the phone, feeling a little relieved.
Not long after, a black SUV with a special license plate, an unassuming appearance but clearly bulletproof modifications, stopped in front of the two.
The driver was a young man with a resolute face and sharp eyes. He bowed respectfully to Yong Gu without asking any further questions.
Mingchuan and Yonggu quickly got into the car, which immediately started and sped off in a secret direction on the outskirts of Tianhai City.
The atmosphere inside the car was somewhat somber.
Mingchuan gazed at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, his brow still furrowed. He broke the silence and asked again:
"What exactly is going on? Why would people from the cultivation world suddenly appear and target the Wolf King of the Northern Frontier? Is it revenge? Or do they have some other purpose?"
Yong Gu shook his head, his brows furrowed deeply: "The specific cause has not yet been determined. The Northern Frontier Wolf King's poisoning was extremely sudden, with bizarre symptoms. National experts in the military and the country are helpless, and can only determine that the energy level contained in the toxin is far beyond the ordinary, and not found in the human realm."
I had to use some special channels to barely confirm that the source of the toxin pointed to the cultivation world.
The other party acted discreetly, leaving few clues.
Mingchuan leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples: "These are truly turbulent times..."
He suddenly remembered something, turned his head to look at Yong Gu, who was as cold as an iceberg beside him, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "I say, brother, you see, the human world is not peaceful now. Even people from the cultivation world are coming to cause trouble."
Why don't you talk to the Wolf King of the Northern Frontier after this matter is settled, and ask him to come with me to the Spirit Realm to develop our sect? I'm planning to establish a sect there, and I'm in dire need of capable and trustworthy people like you!
"Over there, the sky's high and the sea is wide, resources are plentiful—it'll be much better than staying here, feeling restricted!"
Upon hearing this, Yonggu slowly turned his head and stared at him: "If we leave, who will guard the border?"
These few words struck Mingchuan's heart like a heavy hammer.
The playful look on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a deep sense of respect.
He let out a soft breath and sincerely praised, "It was my oversight. You guys are amazing!"
He gave Yonggu a thumbs up, his eyes filled with admiration.
Yonggu didn't say anything more, but simply turned his gaze back to the scenery rushing past the car window.
In the flickering light outside the car window, that resolute profile resembled an ice sculpture that would never melt, guarding the deepest beliefs and responsibilities within his heart.
