Chapter 703: Chapter 707: Direct Bloodline
"I know Liao Li too well to believe he would give away treasures so easily. As I initially suggested, he’s poisoned you all. If you all die inside, it’s no loss to him. But if by chance you survive and escape with the treasure, you’ll be hunted down by Liao Li’s Forbidden Guard Army."
Without the protection of your Primordial Power, weakened from the poison, even a common Beastman with no superpowers could easily kill you. So, consider my proposal for a partnership seriously."
Having discussed this so much, Gaiyin already had an idea. He was certain that the emperor had something to restrain Maya, hence she was aggressively seeking his cooperation.
Rather than seeing it as cooperation, it seemed more like Maya wanted to use him to remove her obstacles, so she could go on a killing spree and even ruin the kingdom.
From their recent conversation, it was clear that Maya bore a deep hatred for the Ten Thousands Beast Country.
In a casual tone he asked, "Oh? From your words, it seems you know quite a bit about the poison. Do you have an antidote perhaps?"
Without any hesitation, Maya took out a small Beast Skin Bag from her bosom and placed it on the table before them.
"Liao Li put poison in your daily meals. If you trust me, this is the antidote. Sprinkle it over your food before you eat, it will neutralize the effect of the Soul Devouring Powder and won’t harm you at all."
Watching Maya and Gaiyin converse seriously, Su Tang quietly activated the system to scan Maya.
After seeing the scan results, all the doubts lingering in Su Tang’s mind were cleared.
Her hand stealthily brushed against Gaiyin’s thigh beneath the table.
Unflinching, Gaiyin picked up the small bag of medicine from the table, looked inside to find a small amount of powdered medicine.
He held Su Tang’s hand as he stood, "I’ll take the antidote. As for the partnership, I’ll consider it."
Maya looked unusually serious, "What is there to consider? Anything that Liao Li can give you, I can too. The Wood Immortal Mansion has no appeal to me. You can take whatever you want. I won’t lie behind your back like he does. I just want to kill Liao Li with my own hands and turn him into a piece of trash!"
Xi’en looked at Maya puzzlingly. He asked, "Why can’t whatever you and head of the country have be resolved? Isn’t he your partner? Isn’t Queque his cub?"
Queque scoffed before explaining to Xi’en, "That piece of trash doesn’t deserve to be my father."
Maya also smiled coldly, "When did I ever say Queque was that waste’s cub? Queque is the sole direct bloodline of the Vermillion Bird Clan who can open the gate of the Wood Immortal Mansion. If he were Liao Li’s cub, you could never open the gate."
A term Maya mentioned once again left them confused.
"Direct bloodline?"
"Yes, direct bloodline." Maya nodded with a strange smile, "To open the gate of the Wood Immortal Mansion, the blood of a cub from the direct bloodline of the Five Great Tribes is required to activate the Crystal Stones."
"And by direct bloodline, I mean the bloodline of pure races forged in union. What, didn’t your parents tell you? All the tribal chiefs of the Five Great Tribes know this. It’s hardly a secret." 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝔠𝔬𝖒
What Su Tang learned that day was too shocking. It would take her a while to digest it all.
