The Five Poisons Sect?
Mentioning the Five Poisons Sect again caused significant changes in the expressions of everyone present.
The name of the Five Poisons Sect was a rather sensitive subject.
These people had not completely dispelled their suspicions of Lei Ming, and now that Ye Cangtian brought it up again, it immediately reignited the doubts in their hearts.
Moreover, since Ye Cangtian dared to speak this way today, he must have had a basis for it.
Feeling everyone's gazes, Lei Ming's expression grew even more somber, as if it could bleed.
This damned Death God, bringing up what shouldn't be brought up!
While cursing the Death God in his heart, Lei Ming put on a cold smile on the surface and said, "Junior Brother Death God, don't spout nonsense without evidence…"
As he spoke, Lei Ming suddenly remembered something and his gaze fell directly on the wine cup in front of Ye Cangtian.
He then realized that the half cup of wine the other party had just drunk was not just a sign of disrespect towards him, but rather to preserve the remaining half cup as evidence in case of poisoning.
As he thought this, he was about to say something, but Ye Cangtian beat him to it.
Ye Cangtian picked up the wine cup and said loudly, "Everyone, this cup of wine was prepared by Lei Ming, wasn't it? Then let Bao'er test if there is any poison in it!"
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian glanced at Yao Bao'er, who immediately came to Ye Cangtian's side without a word.
The next moment, Yao Bao'er took out a silver needle and directly inserted it into the wine.
In a short moment, the silver needle turned completely black.
Seeing this, everyone's expression changed, and their gazes turned back to Lei Ming.
The Imperial Dragon Manor had a clear prohibition against poison, which even the Manor Lord could not violate.
And within the manor, Shen Kuo had used poison first, and then someone had openly poisoned at a banquet. It would be difficult to claim that Lei Ming was not involved!
"Who prepared the banquet and dared to poison it? They must be incredibly bold!"
"Where is Chang Shan? Start investigating immediately and capture the person who poisoned it!"
"Also, check everyone's food at the scene and see whose dishes are poisoned…"
At this moment, Lei Ming's roaring voice came.
Since he dared to openly poison Ye Cangtian, he had naturally made preparations.
Now, facing everyone's questioning, he was not flustered at all.
Anyway, the other party had not seen who administered the poison, so as long as he adamantly denied it, what could they do to him?
Besides, after the incident, he actively investigated the matter, which could also reduce some of the suspicion towards him.
The next moment, Chang Shan came forward with the guards.
The guards, holding silver needles, approached each table, inspecting every delicacy, leaving no detail unchecked.
In just a few minutes, the guards had checked all the dishes.
Then Chang Shan came before Lei Ming and announced, "Reporting to the Manor Lord, in the great hall, only Death God's wine contained poison!"
With that sentence, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, while Lei Ming, seated in the main position, wore a cold smile.
He looked at Ye Cangtian and said coldly, "Junior Brother Death God, I am somewhat puzzled. Why is it that among everyone, only your wine contained poison? Could it be that you poisoned yourself to frame me?"
"Am I crazy? To poison myself and then drink it?" Ye Cangtian looked at him with a cold smile, his eyes full of disdain.
"Then it's strange! Everyone saw you drink that cup of wine, but why are you still fine now?"
Lei Ming looked at Ye Cangtian, reacting quickly, and voiced his doubts in a roundabout way.
He then added, "In my opinion, the reason you are fine is probably because you have taken the antidote, right?"
Wow!
As the words fell, the scene erupted in an uproar.
Lei Ming's words were not without reason. No one would be foolish enough to drink wine they knew was poisoned.
The only explanation was that the other party had an antidote.
But who could have an antidote? Clearly, it was the one who administered the poison!
"Death God, you are too despicable, trying to frame the Manor Lord with such a thing!"
"Damn it, you almost fooled us!"
"I knew from the start that you were not a good person. Ever since you arrived, one thing after another has happened. I think you are the one causing trouble…"
In an instant, these people who had a sudden realization began to bombard Ye Cangtian.
Facing the scolding of everyone, Ye Cangtian smiled coldly and then said, "Lei Ming, no matter how fast you react, you wouldn't have guessed that I have a body that is immune to all poisons! Not only can wine poisoning not harm me, but any other poison is the same!"
Ye Cangtian naturally would not reveal the secret of his cultivation. He could only borrow the concept of a "body of myriad poisons" to explain it simply.
Only in this way could he prove that he did not have an antidote.
This way, everyone's doubts about him would be dispelled.
"Haha, Death God, if you want to fool us, you need to find a more credible explanation!"
"Where in the world is there a body immune to all poisons!"
Lei Ming burst into laughter upon hearing this defense.
His eyes also showed severe disdain. After all, even if the Death God wanted to clear his name, he shouldn't use such absurd talk as an excuse, right?
Did he really think everyone was an idiot?
Heh heh.
Ye Cangtian's eyes also showed disdain as he said, "A frog in a well, just because you don't know, doesn't mean it doesn't exist!"
After speaking, Ye Cangtian looked at Yao Bao'er and said, "Bao'er, give me some potent poison."
Yao Bao'er nodded at the words, took out a small dark green porcelain bottle from her Qiankun bag, and directly threw it in front of Ye Cangtian.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian directly poured out the poison. They were a few small dark green pills.
The next moment, to verify his words, Ye Cangtian directly swallowed most of the pills, leaving only one.
"This…"
Watching Ye Cangtian ingest the poison, the entire hall fell silent, and everyone's eyes widened.
Even Lei Ming's expression changed at such a sight.
Damn it, could it really be immunity to all poisons? But he had never even heard of such a constitution…
As he thought this, Lei Ming said grimly, "Death God, heaven knows if what you took was poison!"
"I knew you would say that, so I deliberately left one behind!"
"Since you say it's not poison, then do you dare to try it?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian immediately smiled and revealed the remaining pill in his hand.
Seeing this pill, Lei Ming was rendered speechless.
How could he dare to try it!
Moreover, judging from the other party's actions, this pill must be extremely poisonous, otherwise, why would he be so bold?
Seeing Lei Ming fall silent, Ye Cangtian sneered and no longer paid attention to Lei Ming, but turned to face the crowd in the hall.
"Everyone, if anyone doubts that this pill is not poisonous, you can take it and verify it publicly…"
As the words fell, no one questioned him. The hall was silent.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and continued, "Since no one has proven it, I believe you all acknowledge my constitution now, right? Then do I need to poison myself?"
This…
Hearing this, everyone fell into thought.
After a while, they realized something: since the Death God had a constitution that was immune to all poisons, there was no need for him to poison himself.
After all, if the poisoning effect could not be seen, who would believe that he had been poisoned?
To take a step back, even if the Death God was indeed the one who administered the poison, the best targets would have been Lan Yue and Yao Bao'er. At least if the two women were poisoned, everyone could have seen it!
Seeing everyone's gaze turn back to Lei Ming, Ye Cangtian inwardly smiled.
"Alright, Junior Brother Death God, it seems that Senior Brother has misunderstood you again."
"Here, in front of everyone, Senior Brother apologizes to you and hopes you can forgive Senior Brother's recklessness."
"At the same time, Senior Brother assures you that I will catch the culprit and give you a satisfactory explanation!"
On the other side, feeling everyone's gaze, Lei Ming knew that it was impossible to frame the Death God with this matter any longer.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Lei Ming chose to take a step back to prevent everyone from suspecting him.
"Alright, then I will await your explanation!"
Ye Cangtian, upon hearing this, did not choose to take a step back.
He knew very well that if he continued to press the other party, the other party would definitely throw out a scapegoat.
This could be inferred from the other party's previous words, but he did not want to implicate more people.
