The poison was something that could be detected if one focused on the rods. After all, it was releasing the poison itself. It was detectable, but it wasn't curable.
It was one of the lethal poisons Han Li had ever created. And only these huge rods were the ones that could contain it. Once the poison entered the body, it would immediately suffocate the victim without anything to do about it. Not just that, it would also affect the internal organs, making them hurt like hell.
As it was incurable, the victim could only watch one's self dying.
That's what happened Old White and the monk. There was nothing to fight back a poison which has entered their body. As for Old Black? He was still alive. However, he realized the poison a tad late, thus he inhaled a bit of it before protecting himself.
"Of all the three elders of your race, it seems it's you who is decent." Jin Rou looked at Old Black. Although he was still breathing, Jin Rou could see he's having difficulty to breathe, "However, you will still die. Even that bit of poison will kill you."
Old Black didn't speak. But the other party was right. He was only alive right now because of not inhaling too much of the poison like the two elders did. Eventually, he gave up resisting and looked up in the sky.
"I admire your decisiveness. If you are the leader of Ancient Pugan, they will surely become successful and prosper under your leadership." Jin Rou said. He had to admit it. Just by looking at Old Black could make him see what kind of existence he was.

"A chance?" Old Black finally looked at Jin Rou after being in trance, "If you want me to divulge the location of our race in exchange of my life, I'm sorry but I'd rather die now."
"Smart." Jin Rou smiled. As expected, Old Black had guessed his intentions, "But are you sure? As you know, you have a bright future even alone."
"This world is too big for the Ancient Pugans to take." Old Black said with a weak voice. The poison was taking severe effects now, "I will always remain a pugan, no matter what."
"Splash!" After that, Old Black turned into a blood mist, killing himself. He was dying anyway, so he killed himself immediately.
"Too bad." Jin Rou shook his head. He wanted to get information from them, but since they turned into blood mists along with Old Black, there wasn't something to get information from. Oh, there was one.
Crestflow was trying his best not to be detected. The escape route had been established successfully and all he needed to so was to make the route devour a treasure for him to activate it. The creation and activation of this route was too expensive that he bleed internally.
Unfortunately, since the elders were no more, the attention was on him now. Jin Rou appeared behind him and said, "What are you doing?"
"Y-Y-Your Majesty..." Crestflow shuddered. Han Li's eyes were penetrating deep within his soul and it made him so scared. He was a Dao Monarch, but in front of this man, he felt so little like an ant, "Please let me go. I am forcefully coerced into their plot and I'm helpless against it."
Hearing this, Jin Rou sneered and said, "You are a top monarch of the academy. How could the elders force you? With 7 Dao Palaces right now, those elders are no match against you except their current leader and first elder came."
When the spectators heard this, they gasped. Crestflow was actually a 7-palace Dao Monarch! In this world limited of monarchs, it was already too powerful, albeit not enough to get him into the Nine Heavens Asura.
"You're a traitor, someone who is blinded by greed." Jin Rou flickered his finger. Then, binding chains flew over to Crestflow, perfectly making him incapable of movement, "The just punishment will be given by your ancestor, not me. However, don't expect that you will have a lesser punishment just because it's not me giving it to you."
Crestflow's face was drained with blood. He was familiar with Sword Ancestor's method. For sure, with the ancestor's personality, he wouldn't have an easy death.
"Leave it to me, Your Majesty. I will surely give the very just punishment to this traitor." Sword Ancestor flew over and bowed before Jin Rou. He then looked at Crestflow with death eyes giving thousand meanings.
"How about that legion?" Jin Rou asked. Currently, the Dignified Sky Legion was still present. Their eyes were filled with horror as if they saw a terrifying monster.
"Your Majesty, leave it to me." Fallblade appeared. Although he was injured, he was still filled with vitality, "Let me vent out my frustration towards those pieces of meat."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Alright, as you wish." Jin Rou had no reason to reject it. After all, he didn't want to clean this mess up. It was already enough that he lend a helping hand to the academy.
After that, Jin Rou left the scene to take a nap. And the battlefield was field with cries and despair.

When Jin Rou left the scene and returned to his room, he saw that Goldenchild was standing by the door waiting for him. He then smiled and said, "Congratulations. It seems you have mastered the physique well."
"It's because of Young Master, that's why." Goldenchild knelt down, "I know you are not going here to stay for long. Thus, my heartfelt gratitude will be for eternity."
Because of Han Li, many doors had opened for him. His usual narrow world was now a brand new and wide world that waiting for him to explore it.
"Take this." Jin Rou took out a book from his inventory and said, "This is useless to me but very useful to you. Be sure to become someone who can go against the Asuras in the future."
Goldenchild looked at the book and his hands trembled. The title of the book was, "The Great Path of Monarchy."
And the author of this book? It's Pathfinder Dao Monarch, one of the Nine Heavens Asura!
