Chapter 122 Initial Subjugation of Poison Doctor Valley
Early the next morning.
"Your Highness, this concubine will help you get up."
After a night of passionate lovemaking, as soon as it was dawn, Jordan Xue got up to help Qin Wu get up.
After washing up, Qin Wu went straight to the training ground.
Begin today's practice.
When there was no war, Qin Wu never stopped his daily cultivation.
When Qin Wu finished his cultivation, Qiao Danxue was already waiting on the side.
"Your Highness, the elders of Poison Doctor Valley have arrived and wish to pay their respects."
Jordan Xue stepped forward to wipe the sweat from Qin Wu's forehead and reported to him.
"Yes, help me wash up before you go see them."
Qin Wu nodded.
Half an hour later, Qin Wu finished washing up and came to the main hall.
"We pay our respects to the Divine Martial King."
Qin Wu entered the hall, and a group of men and women bowed to him.
These people were all elders of the Poison Doctor Valley. They rushed over as soon as they received Qiao Danxue's letter.
Many people are actually quite dissatisfied with Jordan's surrender.
They didn't think Qin Wu could do anything to them.
After all, it's not so easy to break through their Poison Doctor Valley; at worst, they can just give up Poison Doctor City.
They did not believe that Qin Wu could break through the poison barrier outside their Poison Doctor Valley.
As Qin Wu entered the hall, he took in the expressions of everyone present.
A powerful aura erupted and enveloped everyone in the hall.
Qin Wu's domineering aura forced many people to kneel down.
Especially those who are dissatisfied.
The people of Poison Doctor Valley knew that Qin Wu was very strong, but they did not expect that he was so strong that they could not even withstand his pressure.
Upon seeing this, Jordan Xue was even more shocked.
She knew Qin Wu was powerful, but she had never imagined he was this powerful.
After all, the dozen or so people present were all Grandmaster-level experts.
Even when facing a grandmaster, one should not be forced to kneel due to their overwhelming aura.
But Qin Wu has done it now, using his own power to force them to their knees.
This is something that not every grandmaster can do.
She even had some doubts about whether Qin Wu had already broken through to the Grandmaster level and reached the realm of a terrestrial immortal.
Qin Wu sat down in the main seat.
"It seems many of you are dissatisfied with me?"
Qin Wu spoke calmly.
His words caused cold sweat to break out on the foreheads of everyone present.
Many of them were indeed dissatisfied before, but do they still dare to be dissatisfied now?
They were certain that if they uttered any words of dissatisfaction, they might be the next ones to lose their lives here.
They may be arrogant, but that doesn't mean they want to die.
Their dissatisfaction stemmed from the belief that Qin Wu was powerless against them, but now it seems they were wrong, terribly wrong.
If Qin Wu were willing, the poison barrier outside their Poison Doctor Valley would absolutely not be able to stop such a powerful figure.
Killing them would be even easier.
"Your Highness is too kind. We are completely convinced of Your Highness's authority, how could we possibly be dissatisfied? It is our honor to serve Your Highness."
The elderly man at the head of the group spoke with difficulty, a smile on his face that looked more like a grimace than a cry.
Her entire face was like a blooming chrysanthemum, which made Qin Wu frown slightly.
"is it?"
Qin Wu looked at the old man with a half-smile.
"Your Highness, what the Grand Elder said is absolutely true. It is our honor to serve Your Highness in the Poison Doctor Valley."
Qiao Danxue quickly came to Qin Wu's side, knelt down and said to him.
Although she was following behind Qin Wu, she still took in all the expressions of everyone in the hall.
She had anticipated that many people would be unhappy with her decision, and that they were probably here to do something.
Unexpectedly, Qin Wu's arrival immediately gave everyone a rude awakening.
They suppressed everyone to the point that no one dared to resist.
"is it?"
Qin Wu continued to look at everyone present with a half-smile.
However, in the next instant, Qin Wu's figure disappeared, and a figure was smashed to the ground.
Qin Wu returned to the main position.
"what!"
A scream rang out at that moment.
In the blink of an eye, an elder was seriously injured and lay on the ground.
Cracks even appeared in the ground, showing that Qin Wu had shown absolutely no mercy.
"Dare to use poison against me? You're courting death."
Qin Wu snorted coldly.
He never expected that someone would dare to use poison on him despite his imposing presence.
This is a blatant provocation against Qin Wu, and Qin Wu is not about to let her off easily.
At this moment, Qiao Danxue and the others finally realized what was happening.
Then they looked in the direction from which the screams came, and saw an old woman lying on the ground, spitting out blood continuously.
He clearly suffered serious internal injuries; if he doesn't receive timely treatment, he probably won't live much longer.
This person was none other than the Second Elder of Poison Doctor Valley, a contemporary of Qiao Danxue. She was dissatisfied with Qiao Danxue, believing that Qiao Danxue had only become the Valley Master by virtue of her cultivation level. She always thought that she was more suitable to be the Valley Master than Qiao Danxue.
So over the years, she has always opposed Qiao Danxue, and this time, upon receiving Qiao Danxue's letter, she was the first to stand up and oppose it.
"Second Elder."
Qiao Yuwei's tone was very dissatisfied and even angry.
She had just sensed it herself, and it was clear that someone in the hall was indeed poisoning the place.
As the top expert in poison medicine in the Poison Doctor Valley, she is extremely sensitive to poisons, and no poison can escape her perception.
She never expected that the Second Elder would still dare to poison her under these circumstances.
Is she trying to make the entire Poison Doctor Valley pay for her death?
Following Qin Wu's reminder, the others carefully examined the area and confirmed that there was indeed poison in the hall.
They never expected that someone who dealt with poisons year-round would fail to detect it before Qin Wu did.
It is evident that Qin Wu may not only be powerful, but also possess an exceptional sensitivity to poison.
It would be very difficult to poison Qin Wu.
"You dare to use such a small amount of poison on me? I have been secretly poisoned since I was six years old, yet I have lived for more than ten years. Do you look down on me?"
Qin Wu's icy voice rang out again.
Everyone gasped in shock.
From the age of six, she was secretly poisoned every day...
How did he manage to survive in such an environment?
If they were in that situation, they would probably have died countless times over.
What kind of monster were they facing?
"Your Highness, please calm down. This is the Second Elder's own behavior and has nothing to do with our Poison Doctor Valley. Please investigate thoroughly, Your Highness."
Jordan Xue begged for mercy. She didn't want Qin Wu to become dissatisfied with their Poison Doctor Valley because of the Second Elder, or even to harbor murderous intentions towards them.
Previously, she was only worried that Poison Doctor Valley would not be able to withstand Qin Wu's army, which would bring about its annihilation.
But now she knows very well that Qin Wu doesn't need his army to take action; Qin Wu alone can slaughter their Poison Doctor Valley.
She wouldn't dare gamble with the entire Poison Doctor Valley.
"Please understand, Your Highness, that our Poison Doctor Valley has absolutely no intention of harming Your Highness. We are sincerely here to serve Your Highness."
The Grand Elder also quickly kowtowed.
He now finally understood why the Valley Master wanted to marry this Divine Martial King, even as a concubine.
The Valley Master is protecting their entire Poison Doctor Valley, so he absolutely cannot hold the Valley Master back and bring annihilation to the Poison Doctor Valley.
"Your Highness, please see the truth: we swear to serve you to the death."
The others also realized what was happening and quickly expressed their loyalty.
There's no way around it; they wouldn't be afraid of anyone else, but they're genuinely afraid of this person.
This person's strength is truly terrifying.
"How should this person be dealt with?"
Qin Wu did not directly say that he would spare them.
He also wanted to see what these people were capable of and whether they were worth letting them off this time.
“Dare to assassinate the Prince, that is a capital offense. The Second Elder’s lineage is at the Prince’s disposal.”
The Great Elder spoke directly.
He knew very well that if he couldn't give the Divine Martial King a satisfactory explanation today, given the Divine Martial King's temper, many people would likely die.
It would be better to simply hand over the Second Elder's lineage and let Qin Wu handle it as he sees fit.
Moreover, the Second Elder's lineage in the valley is not popular. Although the Second Elder has considerable influence in the valley, when faced with life and death, everyone knows how to make a choice.
"what about you?"
Qin Wu ignored the Grand Elder and glanced at the others kneeling on the ground.
His killing intent grew stronger and stronger, as if he might suddenly strike and kill someone at any moment.
"We agree with the Elder's decision."
The crowd answered immediately, fearing that if they were too slow, they would lose their lives.
Even those from the Second Elder's faction were the same.
"Alright, Elder, take your men back and bring all the members of the Second Elder's lineage to me."
"Consort Qiao Danxue has failed in her duties, leading to someone daring to assassinate me. Go kneel outside the hall for two hours. The rest of you, continue with your duties. I will send someone to contact you when I need you. Everything else will remain the same."
"Go back!"
Qin Wu was fairly satisfied with their performance.
However, he wouldn't believe them so easily.
"Yes, I am resigning."
The Grand Elder and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That saved his life.
The biggest gain was that Qin Wu didn't put them under house arrest, but allowed them to continue as before, which gave them a lot of autonomy.
This was quite a surprise.
However, they also felt guilty towards Qiao Danxue.
For their sake, Jordan Xue pledged herself to become the concubine of the Divine Martial King.
Given Jordan Xue's status, she could easily become the empress of a country.
Now, because of the Second Elder's matter, Qiao Danxue, the Valley Master of their Poison Doctor Valley and the number one female Grandmaster in the world, is actually being forced to kneel as punishment. Such humiliation is something they might not be able to bear at all.
They now believe that the valley master made the right choice, and even those who were initially unconvinced are now convinced.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for giving Poison Doctor Valley a chance."
After the others left, Qiao Danxue kowtowed to Qin Wu to express her gratitude.
"This is a one-time exception. Go and kneel down."
Qin Wu snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeve.
In the past, if anyone had dared to poison him, none of them would have survived.
Qin Wu let them off this time because they were still useful, but that doesn't mean he'll treat them well in the future.
"Yes, thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."
Jordan thanked him again.
She knew very well that kneeling for two hours was a lenient punishment.
Assassinating a prince would warrant the execution of his entire family, including nine generations of his relatives.
