"There must be an antidote,” scoffed Li Xuan. "Why are you still lying to us?"
There was an antidote to every poison. Who would dare use a poison that had no antidote?
"It's time for your meal!"
Before they could say another word, a voice rang outside their cell and silenced them.
They watched as a dozen men walked in with some food. Imprisoned inside a cave with no chance of ever seeing the sun again, they were of no use to anyone.
Waves of sorrow surged within them.
"Come on, eat!"
"Hurry up and eat!"
A few Tianlian Sect disciples sneered and threw the food onto the ground as if they were leftovers for stray dogs. "Esteemed sect leaders, we've prepared a special meal for you today to celebrate the capture of Elder Ting Feng of Buddha Sect. You should be happy."
"You're about to reunite with a few old friends. You should be happy. Hahahaha!"
"I'm going to kill you!" spat Yun Zhongke furiously.
PAK!
A disciple lifted his hand and sent it flying across Yun Zhongke's cheek. "You? You're nothing but useless pieces of trash now. Do you really think you can kill me?"
"You..."
Yun Zhongke was livid. He struggled to stand but to no avail. His legs were like jelly and he could scarcely feel them at all. There was no way he could stand.
The other sects felt the humiliation churning inside Yun Zhongke as they witnessed his mistreatment. They were filled with rage but they were powerless.
Hurry up and eat! You won't like what we're going to do to you if you keep yammering!" the disciples from Tianlian Sect said mockingly. Trampling on the pride of these high and mighty sect leaders felt great.
Jiang Ning paid them no head as he distributed the food to the captives. When he got to Elder Ting Feng, he leaned in and whispered, "What did you find?"
"There's no antidote," said Elder Ting Feng in exasperation.
Jiang Ning froze. "How can there be no antidote?"
