Soul And Martial Emperor

"Black Heart Pill" was a poison pill that the patriarch of the Tao family, Tao Qiushui, made all his subordinates consume in order to control his subordinates. Every month, he would give them an antidote, but it would not cure the symptoms and not the root cause. If he wanted to live, he would have to work hard for him.    

    

"This isn't a big problem. I am an alchemist myself. As long as I see the Black Heart Pill, I will be able to find a way to cure the Black Heart Pill. So, you can rest assured," Meng Hao said with a smile.    

    

"In that case, the three of us will submit to you," Tao Lu and Tao Xing said. Tao Gui glanced at each other, then said respectfully to Meng Hao, "Your subordinate greets Master."    

    

"In the future, you can just call me Young Master. All of you should treat your injuries first. Tomorrow morning, we will go to the headquarters of Tao family and meet the patriarch of Tao family," Meng Hao said with a smile.    

    

"Zhang Loong, Wang Hu, send the experts of Wind Thunder Guard who are good at collecting information to gather relevant information about Tao family," Meng Hao said to the void.    

    

Zhang Loong and Wang Hu appeared and responded at the same time. After that, Zhang Loong left the place and went to arrange the tasks according to Meng Hao's instructions. Wang Hu, on the other hand, stayed by Meng Hao's side and guarded him closely.    

    

The three elders of the Tao family revealed shocked expressions. They didn't notice that there were still people hiding in this place. Moreover, the sudden appearance of these two men gave them an unfathomable feeling. This feeling was even scarier than when they faced the patriarch of Tao family.    

    

Swoosh! Swoosh!!    

    

Meng Hao flicked his finger and a white Spirit Pill fell into Tao Gui's hand. He lightly smiled and said, "Although you took the healing Spirit Pill, you have the hidden force that I injected into your body. If you can't get rid of it completely, you will suffer a lot in the future.    

    

Tao Gui revealed a shocked expression when he heard this. He did not sense the hidden force that Meng Hao was talking about at all. However, he believed that Meng Hao would not lie to him, and there was no need to lie to him.    

    

"Try activating the Profound Meaning of Flame." Meng Hao knew that Tao Gui didn't really believe it, so he said with a smile. Tao Gui said. Meng Hao followed Meng Hao's instructions and circulated the Profound Meaning of Flame. Immediately, a piercing pain spread across his chest and body. He was so scared that he immediately stopped circulating the Profound Meaning of Flame.    

    

"Thank you, young master. Your skills are truly admirable. Besides, I'm really grateful that Young Master showed mercy to me. If Young Master has any orders in the future... A solemn expression emerged on Tao Gui's face. He cupped his fists at Meng Hao and said respectfully.    

    

"It doesn't matter. All of you are my subordinates. In the future, all of you will know that you will never regret following me," Meng Hao said with a smile. "This manor hasn't been built yet, so I will have to let all three of you stay in one room first."    

    

" It's not a grievance. Young Master, why don't I help you build the manor as well? "The three elders of Tao family asked Meng Hao one after another. Tao Xing even suggested helping Meng Hao build the manor.    

    

"Not for the time being. Tao Gui, you should recover first. I have something to ask you two, Tao Xing and Tao Lu. You must tell me everything you know," Meng Hao said in a low voice.    

    

"Young Master, you can ask. We will definitely tell you everything we know. I don't think we will hide anything from you," Tao Lu said respectfully. Tao Xing nodded in agreement. Tao Gui, on the other hand, took the lead to return to his residence to recover.    

    

Meng Hao looked at Tao Lu and Tao Xing and asked in a low voice, "Which experts are there in Tao family? Are they hiding their true strength?" These were the things he wanted to know.    

    

Tao Lu organized his thoughts and replied in a low voice, "In reply to Young Master, the strongest expert in Tao family is the patriarch of Tao family, Tao Qiushui. He is now a Late Period of Saint Venerable Stage, but outsiders only know that he is an Early Period of Saint Venerable Stage."    

    

"Tao Qiushui is a sinister and insidious man. His means are extremely sinister. He has five experts with him to protect him. One of them is known as the Poison Immortal, and the Black Heart Pill we consumed was concocted by him. Although this man is only a First Transformation Life and Death Stage, the poison pill and venom he concocted can easily kill a Saint Venerable Stage Expert. All young masters must be careful when dealing with him, they must not be careless.    

    

"The other four men are Feng, Yu, and Lei. The Four Lightning Generals, they are all Perfection of Ninth Transformation Life and Death Stage warriors, but we three brothers rarely see these four men. After all, we are just a puny elder in the Tao family.    

    

After that, Tao Lu and Tao Xing told Meng Hao about some of the things that were hidden in the Tao family. Meng Hao also knew that there was a group of men of sacrifice in the Tao family. These men of sacrifice had no intelligence, but they had two lives. Even if you looked at their heads, they would be resurrected in a while. Furthermore, their strength would increase greatly after reviving. It was very terrifying.    

    

However, there were only twenty of them in this group of men of sacrifice. Although the men of sacrifice who were resurrected after they were killed had extraordinary strength, there was a fatal part about them, which was that they became even more clumsy.    

    

Even the three elders of Tao family didn't know how to kill these men of sacrifice. This made Meng Hao quite worried. Although Tao Lu said that there were only twenty men of sacrifice, Meng Hao felt that there were more than twenty of them. After all, the status of the three elders of Tao family wasn't very high. There were some things that they couldn't understand.    

    

After that, Meng Hao asked Tao Xing and Tao Lu to rest as well. He then went to the room where Tao Buren was imprisoned. Without saying a word, he immediately used the soul searching technique on Tao Buren and found that it was just as he had expected. These men of sacrifice were not just twenty people, but a hundred.    

    

In Tao Buren's memory, the patriarch of Tao family, Tao Qiushui, had let Poison Immortal refine an extremely terrifying thing. Once this thing was consumed, it would dig out all the potential in the human body, instantly raising them by several levels.    

    

However, just as Meng Hao continued to investigate how these men of sacrifice could be killed, he discovered that someone had placed a restriction on Tao Buren's sea of consciousness. If it wasn't for Meng Hao's quick reaction, he was afraid that he would have been struck as well.    

    

Puchi!    

    

Even so, the wisp of soul that Meng Hao had sent into Tao Buren's sea of consciousness was devoured by the restrictive spell. It caused him to suffer some minor injuries, while Tao Buren started to burn. In an instant, he turned into nothingness. Not even his soul was left behind.    

    

"Young master, are you alright?" When Wang Hu saw Meng Hao coughing up blood, he was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward to support Meng Hao and asked worriedly.    

    

Meng Hao shook his head and said, "I just used the soul searching technique on Tao Buren and learned some things. However, when I was investigating further, I found that someone had placed a restriction on Tao Buren's sea of consciousness. I also suffered some minor injuries because of this, but it wasn't a big deal. It won't affect my combat strength.    

    

After a pause, he continued, "Call Zhang Loong back. I have something to discuss with the two of you." Hearing this, Wang Hu nodded and turned around to look for Zhang Loong.    

    

...    

    

At this moment, in the depths of the Tao family's encampment, a man covered in a black robe slowly raised his head, revealing a terrifying face. There was a scorpion tattoo on his left cheek, emitting a dark green light. He looked extremely terrifying.    

    

"Patriarch, what's wrong?" Not far in front of him, a man's body was flickering with a black aura. However, there was actually lightning flickering within the black aura, making him look rather strange.    

    

"Ren'er's sea of consciousness has been invaded. The seal I set up in Ren'er's sea of consciousness has been triggered. Now that Ren'er is dead, I will immediately investigate who killed her. The patriarch of Tao family, Tao Qiushui, said coldly. The dark purple scorpion on his face seemed to have come to life. It was emitting a gloomy and cold aura.    

    

The man who was flickering with a black aura and lightning said in a deep voice, "The young patriarch's sea of consciousness has been invaded. I'm afraid that the other party has already found out about what happened to us. Therefore, we can't let him live. We have to silence him!"    

    

He paused for a moment before continuing, "Patriarch, I heard General Feng mention something a few days ago. Young Patriarch went to participate in the auction and was targeted. We sent Demon Hawk and Gui Feng to help, but only Gui Feng came back alive!    

    

"At that time, Gui Feng told us that a young man had captured the young master. At that time, the young master was in secluded cultivation, so I sent the three elders of Tao family to rescue the young master. It seems like even the three of them failed!"    

    

Tao Qiushui said in a cold voice, "Although those three old men aren't very strong, they still have some reputation in the family. That's why I didn't attack them first. Now that they are dead, I don't need to attack them anymore!"    

    

Pausing for a moment, he said, "However, the person who killed Ren Er must not be let off. Lei, bring you and General Feng together to capture the person who killed my Ren Er. I want to use him to feed my Heavenly Poison Devil Scorpion."
