Chapter 0223 – A Series of Poisonous Plans – Absolute Return

by GreatBrother(위대한 다오 형제)

"They look alike?"

The Poison King almost didn’t jump up, where was his resemblance to the True Poison Dweller?

Of course, Jian Wuji knew that they didn’t resemble each other at all, and the only reason he said that was to divert True Poison Jushi’s attention.

Now it seemed that his purpose had been achieved. The True Poison Dweller had indeed turned his attention to him.

"Come on, charge me!" Jian Wuji said in his heart.

"There’s always some discomfort in your heart when you see someone who looks like you, isn’t there?" Jian Wuji said with a smile.

The Poison King couldn’t help but roll his eyes when he heard this.

‘How am I like this ugly bastard?'

True Poison Dweller obviously couldn’t accept Jian Wuji’s argument either.

"Where do we look alike?" He asked, frowning.

"In my opinion, you guys are very similar, both in your eyes and your temperament. You both have an unruly and untamed temperament, moreover, there is a deep power hidden deep inside." Jian Wuji said in a serious manner.

True Poison Dweller’s frown tightened.

‘Is this kid playing with me? Unruly and untamed? Deeply powerful? In this dark dungeon, he even said such words?”

"When you were young, were you as handsome and dashing as him?" Jian Wuji continued.

Who wouldn’t like to be complimented on their good looks?

Unfortunately, True Poison Dweller didn’t believe Jian Wuji’s words at all.

"Cut the crap! Why are you speaking in his favor?" True Poison Jushi asked coldly, his tone filled with killing intent.

"He once helped me in the dungeon." Jian Wuji replied.

"What did he help you with? Is it worth putting your life on the line for him?" True Poison Jushi pursued.

Jian Wuji’s gaze turned to the Poison King.

"Back in the dungeon, when we were bullied like dogs, it was him who stood out and fought alongside us." Jian Wuji said.

The Poison King’s face flashed with a hint of surprise and emotion when he heard this.

Jian Wuji’s words, although simple, had touched the True Poison Jushi.

"A bunch of prisoners, how dare you talk about righteousness? I’m warning you, if you dare to meddle again, don’t blame me for being impolite!" True Poison Jushi said coldly.

"Aye! We know." Jian Wuji hurriedly nodded in agreement.

True Poison Dweller glared at Sword Wuji and the Poison King in dissatisfaction, but in the end, he did not pursue the matter any further. After all, every single experimental subject was important to him.

After True Poison Dweller put the Poison King back into his cell, he left the dungeon with his men.

"Are you alright?" Jian Wuji asked with concern through voice transmission.

"I’m fine, why are you meddling? I can fix it myself." There was a hint of dissatisfaction in the Poison King’s voice.

"I know." Jian Wuji replied.

"You’re afraid I won’t be able to resist making a move, aren’t you?" Poison King asked.

"No." Jian Wuji denied.

"Still saying no!" The Poison King said with dissatisfaction.

Jian Wuji was silent for a moment and slowly said, "I was afraid that you would hold back your anger."

"What?" The Poison King froze when he heard this.

"I was afraid that you would choose to hold your tongue and let that guy humiliate you for the sake of our plan." Jian Wuji explained.

The Poison King’s large, clear eyes widened.

"What if that guy gets angry at you and tries to kill you because of that comment you made?" Poison King asked.

"Then we can only fish out of water." Jian Wuji said indifferently, "I’ll let him die from the side effects of ‘Berserk’, and then we’ll find a way to escape."

"And what about Ai Wabi? He’s one who rarely leaves his territory." The Poison King asked.

"The ship will naturally straighten out when it reaches the bridge." Jian Wuji said confidently.

"You’re actually willing to risk so much for me?" The Poison King asked incredulously.

"This isn’t a trivial matter, if it really comes to that, all our previous efforts will be wasted." Jian Wuji said seriously.

The Poison King’s heart was filled with emotion as he looked at Jian Wuji’s determined eyes.

"Did you mean what you just said?" The Poison King asked.

"At first, it might have been just to please you, but now, my heart is filled with admiration for you." Jian Wuji said frankly.

When the Poison King heard this, he didn’t say anything else, but just silently turned around, no longer paying attention to Jian Wuji.

Over the next few days, prisoner after prisoner in the dungeon died.

Every time someone died, the True Poison Jushi would come down to check on them personally and would always give the Poison King a vicious glare.

It seemed that the existence of the Poison King always made him feel like a fish in his throat.

He should trust his instincts and think about why the Poison King’s eyes disgusted him so much.

Unfortunately, he had been so overwhelmed by the successive failures that he hadn’t even noticed the danger lurking around him.

Little did he realize that he was taking a step into the abyss.

The Poison King’s tactics were extremely clever, plus the fact that True Poison Jushi usually seldom utilized his internal energy, therefore, he didn’t even notice that he had been poisoned.

"If our plan works, will Wabi Wabi come here?" The Poison King asked.

"He will definitely come." Jian Wuji said with certainty, "Senior Military Counselor’s intelligence shows that Mourning Wabi and True Poison Dweller don’t have a good relationship. If True Poison Jushi has really developed an antidote to ‘Berserk’, Mourning Wabi will definitely come to confirm it in person."

"According to the current progress, in ten days at most, we will be able to come up with the results." The Poison King said.

Victory is on the horizon.

For the next ten days, Jian Wuji spent all his time practicing the Heavenly Demon Body Protecting Technique.

The more he was in danger, the harder he practiced.

In this eerie dungeon, he was instead more focused on cultivation than ever before.

Finally, he made a breakthrough in his "Heavenly Demon Body Protecting Technique".

During this period of time, his internal strength had improved by leaps and bounds, and coupled with his day and night training in the dungeon, he had finally touched the higher realm of the "Heavenly Demon Body Protecting Technique".

After the breakthrough, Jian Wuji clearly felt that the power of the "Heavenly Demon Body Protecting Technique" had increased a lot. His perception of danger had become sharper, and his connection with the "Heavenly Demon Body Protecting Technique" had also become closer.

However, the prisoners in the dungeon were still dying.

From the mouths of those jailers who were responsible for delivering the food, Jian Wuji learned that if this experiment failed, True Poison Jushi would go and capture ordinary jianghu people to continue his experiments.

These people don’t take human life seriously in order to get what they want.

No, I should say that in their eyes, human life is worthless.

That’s the real evil!

In a place like this, masters like True Poison Dweller and Woeful Wabbit could carry out their evil experiments with impunity, and who could stop them?

"Stopping such evil deeds is my demonic path." Jian Wuji secretly swore in his heart.

Hearing Jian Wuji’s words, the Poison King suddenly asked, ”What about after you die? Will the next Heavenly Demon be able to inherit your demonic path? Do you think that in this world, someone like you will still appear?"

"Why should I worry about what happens after I die? There will naturally be people who come after me to fix it." Jian Wuji said in disbelief.

"You’ve worked so hard to start a new devil path, aren’t you afraid that your descendants will destroy it?" The Poison King asked.

"Even if it really is destroyed, that can’t be helped." Jian Wuji said indifferently, "I can’t order my descendants to do what I want, right? Whether they are willing to listen to me or not is still another matter. They will only choose whether to inherit my demonic path or take another path based on their own judgment."

It was just like Sword Wuji back then.

As the Poison King had predicted, ten days later, all the prisoners in the dungeon were dead.

Now, there were only two people left, Sword Wuji and Poison King.

Over the next few days, the jailers continued to bring them food on time, and they remained safe and sound.

After a few more days, they finally waited for their chance.

Woe Wabi and True Poison Jushi, together, came to the dungeon.

"Did you really succeed?" Wabi Wabi asked.

"Of course! See for yourself, I’ve already found two effective formulas, and with a little improvement, I’ll be able to develop a more stable antidote." True Poison Jushi said proudly.

"Let me see!" Woeful Wabbit said, walking over to Sword Wuji and Poison King’s cell and looking in through the small window.

Just then, his heart suddenly beat violently, and a strong sense of unease surged through him.

‘What’s going on? Why do I feel so uneasy?'

True Poison Jushi didn’t realize the uneasiness in Woe Wabi’s mind, and he was still gleefully presenting the results of his research to Woe Wabi.

However, just as he was getting carried away, Wabi Wabi suddenly drew his sword and stabbed his arm with lightning speed.

"Are you crazy?" True Poison Jushi was caught off guard and was stabbed by Woeful Wabbit’s sword, and immediately became furious.

He was about to strike back, but he was unable to move as he was nailed by Wabi Wabi.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Did the side effects of ‘Berserk’ kick in?" True Poison Dweller asked in alarm.
