Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

Chapter 607: The Saintess of Poison Valley, Nalan Yiren
The woman in black robe seemed to have no guard against Chen Mo and the others, and she sat down in the corner at the other end of the inn.

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows, feeling puzzled. This woman was really unconventional. Women were all very clean. Just like when he and Yue Ruyan came in just now, they moved a bench and swept the dust off it before sitting down. But the woman just sat down like that.

In addition, there are not many top-grade warriors in Zhongzhou, and even fewer women among them. At least Chen Mo only knows Yue Ruyan. Of course, it is not ruled out that she may be a hermit. After all, for now, the woman's dressing and behavior style are indeed like those of a hermit.

However, Chen Mo felt it was a bit strange that he encountered this kind of thing just after arriving at the Chongzhou border.

There's nothing to do anyway to hide from the rain.

But just as he was about to speak.

The black-robed woman raised her sinister eyes, glanced at Chen Mo, and said first: "Are you from the Song army?"

"Oh? How did you know that, young lady?" Judging from the other person's voice and the half of her face that was exposed, she should be young, so Chen Mo just called her young lady.

The woman in black robe did not correct Chen Mo's address, nor did she answer him. She just glanced at the shoes Chen Mo was wearing.

Although Chen Mo was not wearing armor, he was wearing military boots.

"That's right. But hearing what the girl said, in the Song Dynasty army? Aren't you from the Song Dynasty?" If she was from the Song Dynasty, according to her speaking habits, she would not say in the Song Dynasty army, but directly say in the army. Chen Mo guessed that the other party should not be from the Song Dynasty.

The black-robed woman hummed lightly, and then said, "Since you are a member of the Song army, do you know Anguogong Chen Mo?"

Chen Mo's expression paused, and even Yue Ruyan beside him frowned slightly. Although she could not tell the strength of the woman in black robe at a glance like Chen Mo did, her perception told her that the strength of this woman in black robe was probably not inferior to hers.

Chen Mo did not immediately respond to the black-robed woman's words, but smiled and said, "The girl is quite courageous. She dares to travel to other countries alone. The Song Dynasty is in chaos right now."

"Hiss" the sound of a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue was heard, and a poisonous snake with green and red markings crawled out from the sleeve of the black-robed woman, coiled in the woman's palm, and the snake's head gently rubbed the woman's thumb.

If it were a kitten or puppy behaving like this, it might draw the love of others, but this is a poisonous snake, it will only make people feel uncomfortable psychologically.

The woman had beautiful hands, with long nails and fingers. Her nails were painted with black rouge, the same skin color as the half of her face that was exposed.

The woman in black touched the snake's head with her fingers, and then said calmly: "I don't take the initiative to provoke others, but those who provoke me have all turned into bones. And I have always been very courageous since I can remember."

As she was speaking, a black poisonous bee as big as half an adult's fist flew in from outside the inn and landed on the head of the woman in black robe, making a "violent" flapping sound.

After the woman in black robe nodded, the black poisonous bee slid into the black robe along the sleeve of the woman's robe.

The black-robed woman also stretched out her other hand from her sleeve and fed the poisonous snake in her right palm. She said, "My bees found a large number of soldiers outside the county. Some of them wear the same military boots as you. And I can't see through you. You didn't answer me just now. Could you be Chen Mo?"

After saying that, the woman in black robe raised her head and looked straight at Chen Mo.

"My Bee"

Chen Mo was slightly surprised and raised his hands to clasp his fists: "Yes, I am Chen Mo. From what the lady said, do you have something to talk to me about?"

"I came here just to see you." There was a hint of lightness in the black-robed woman's voice. Then, as if by magic, a white jade porcelain bottle appeared in her left hand that was feeding the poisonous snake, and she threw it to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo took it, but he didn't use his hands, but the innate spiritual energy in his body, and asked in confusion: "What is this?"

"Immortal Powder. Take a look and see if it's the same as the one you saw in Jiangnan." said the woman in black robe.

Chen Mo used his innate spiritual energy to open the bottle stopper, then went to a ventilated place and poured out some of it.

However, it was colorless and tasteless, and Chen Mo was unable to distinguish it, so he gave it to Yue Ruyan to look at.

After checking, Yue Ruyan showed some surprise in her eyes: "You are from the Poison King Valley?"

"Nalan Yiren from the Poison King Valley." said the woman in black robe.

"Your last name is Nalan?" Yue Ruyan's look of surprise became even more intense.

"What's wrong?" Chen Mo said.

“I heard that all the previous masters of the Poison King Valley were surnamed Nalan. Her status in the Poison King Valley should be quite high.” Yue Ruyan said.

"Is that so?" Chen Mo rubbed his chin. However, her name is "Yiren", but the dress doesn't look like it at all.

"It seems to be the same." Nalan Yiren's eyes became even more sinister. The poisonous snake in her right palm sensed the woman's emotions, and it suddenly stood up, spitting out its tongue towards Chen Mo and the others.

Yue Ruyan immediately made an gesture as if she was ready to take action.

"Go back." Nalan Yiren spit softly at the poisonous snake in her palm, and the poisonous snake immediately obediently crawled back into the woman's black robe.

Nalan Yiren stood up, clasped her hands and said to Chen Mo, "Nalan Yiren, the Saintess of the Poison King Valley, greets the Duke of Anguo of the Great Song Dynasty."

Seeing that the woman became polite, Chen Mo raised his hand and clasped his fist in return.

"I came to the Song Dynasty just to ask Duke Anguo a few questions. If Duke Anguo tells me the truth, the Poison King Valley will reward you handsomely." Nalan Yiren said.

"Is it related to the Immortal Powder?" Chen Mo said.

"Yes." Nalan Yiren nodded and asked directly: "Where did the Immortal Powder that Duke Anguo saw in Jiangnan come from?"

Just answering a few questions was a piece of cake for Chen Mo, and he didn't have anything to hide: "According to what I understand, it was obtained by the King of Huai from the Western Regions. As for whether it is true or not, I can't guarantee it."

"Western Regions?" This matched what Nalan Yiren knew, so she asked, "How did Duke Anguo know this?"

"From an oiran named Zhihua."

"What about her?"

"Linzhou. But I guess she doesn't know much about the Immortal Powder."

Nalan Yiren narrowed her eyes slightly, but soon she caught a key message from Chen Mo's words and asked hurriedly: "What about Prince Huai?"

Since the King of Huai got it from the Western Regions, he should know where that person is hiding in the Western Regions.

"Underground." Chen Mo said.

"Hmm?" Nalan Yiren looked down.

"When I say underground, I mean he is no longer alive."

"what?"

There was a trace of panic in Nalan Yiren's eyes. She was not panicked about the death of Prince Huai, but she was worried that after Prince Huai died, it would be difficult to find the man's whereabouts.

"Duke Anguo, besides Prince Huai, is there anyone else who might know the whereabouts of that person?" asked Nalan Yiren.

"That person?"

"To be honest." Nalan Yiren walked to the window and looked at the heavy rain outside. "I wonder if you have heard a rumor about a disciple of the Poison King Valley who killed his master but was exposed and was killed by the elders of the Poison King Valley."

Chen Mo was stunned. He had heard this rumor from Wu Mi before. Then he nodded.

"This man is called Tang Yichen. He is the eldest brother among all the disciples of the Poison King Valley. The master he killed was my grandfather, Nalande. After the incident was exposed, he was besieged by the three elders of the valley. After being hit by a poison palm from the eldest elder, he escaped from the Poison King Valley and his whereabouts have been unknown since then.

But the Poison King Valley had been investigating his whereabouts. Later, there were rumors that he had become the high priest of the Western Regions. After the Poison King Valley learned the news, it immediately sent a large number of masters to the Western Regions to investigate. However, the Western Regions was too large, and it was a vast desert with few people, so there was no news ever since.

Many people in the valley thought that the rumor was false, and believed that he had been poisoned by the great elder. If he didn't have the gluttonous poison, he wouldn't survive for more than three months. Until they received news that the Immortal Powder was discovered in Jiangnan, Song Dynasty. The secret recipe of the Immortal Powder has always been a secret in the valley, and only those who practiced the poison skills that were not passed on to others in the valley could make it. In this world, apart from the Poison King Valley, only he was still alive."

After saying this, Nalan Yiren's eyes became gloomy, and her voice was cold with gritted teeth.

A rustling sound sounded.

It was the voice that came from Nalan Yiren's black robe.

The next second, poisonous snakes, poisonous ants, scorpions, and poisonous bees crawled out from under Nalan Yi's robe in groups.

If an ordinary person saw it, he would probably faint from fright on the spot.

Chen Mo and Yue Ruyan also took a step back.

It's not that I'm afraid, I just have a bit of trypophobia.

But after listening to what Nalan Yiren said.

Chen Mo also quickly understood that the granddaughter wanted to find Tang Yichen to avenge her dead grandfather.

So she came to Song Dynasty in person, hoping to get clues about Tang Yichen from herself.

However, I only have a vague understanding of it.

Only Prince Huai, who had obtained the Immortal Powder, had a real chance of knowing Tang Yichen's exact whereabouts.

But now Prince Huai is dead.

If what Nalan Yiren said was true, if I put myself in her shoes at this moment, I would also feel a little overwhelmed.

"Miss, there is no need to be so anxious. Although Prince Huai is dead, it doesn't mean that no one else knows where Tang Yichen is except him." Chen Mo said.

A glimmer of light appeared in Nalan Yiren's cold eyes, and she asked, "You know?"

"I don't know, but his subordinates might know something."

"Ok?"

"Girl, think about it. With the status of the King of Huai, it is impossible for him to travel thousands of miles to the Western Regions to buy a dose of poison from Tang Yichen. He must have sent someone under him to do it."

As he spoke, Chen Mo smiled slightly and said, "If I'm lucky, maybe this person is in my army or in prison."

During the several major defeats of the Prince of Huai, Chen Mo captured many of his subordinates.

For example, Diwu Fusheng and Liu Ji were in the army.

"Duke Anguo is willing to help me?" Nalan Yiren was skeptical. After all, this was not as simple as asking a few questions.

Chen Mo looked at Nalan Yiren for a few seconds.

This made Nalan Yiren frown, thinking that the other party had taken a fancy to her. After all, she had heard the rumors that the Duke of Song Anguo was lustful.

But I have dressed myself like this, and there are poisons accompanying me.

Doesn't he care about whether it's raw or cold?
Just when she was about to use some methods of the Poison King Valley to see if she could control the other party.

Chen Mo blinked and said, "Of course. Not only that, if I really know the whereabouts of Tang Yichen, I can personally assist the young lady and help her avenge this blood feud."

Nalan Yiren raised her brows and asked, "What's the price?"

There is no free lunch in this world.

If it was free, Nalan Yiren would not believe it.

"It's very simple. If I help you, you have to help me." Chen Mo said.

"Ok?"

"The girl must also know something about this. The Song Dynasty is currently at war."

"The Poison King Valley never participates in struggles between external forces, let alone foreign wars." Nalan Yiren guessed what Chen Mo wanted to say.

Although the Poison King Valley is very powerful in the martial arts world, there are only more than a thousand disciples in the valley, including the elders. Baiyue is just a small country and it is difficult to resist even the most powerful army.

After all, some highly lethal poisons are also picky about the environment.

First of all, it must be an enclosed space and the air circulation cannot be too strong, otherwise the toxicity will be greatly reduced.

So it is difficult to play a role in such an open battlefield.

Unless you sneak into the enemy's barracks and poison their food.

But this is also difficult.

Even a top-grade warrior cannot fly into the sky or into the ground.

The barracks are heavily guarded, with a sentry every five steps.

Unless one is able to become invisible, it would be impossible to poison the food silently without anyone noticing.

Therefore, once the Poison King Valley gets involved in the struggle between external forces, if Chen Mo's side is defeated in the end, the Poison King Valley will inevitably be liquidated.

"In that case. I heard that there is a sacred object in the Poison King Valley, called Taogui Gu. If the young lady can use this object as a reward, I will also do my best to help the young lady." Chen Mo said.

Hearing this, Nalan Yiren's eyes became sinister again. The poisonous creatures under his feet, infected by his master's emotions, also made a gesture as if they were ready to attack in a group.

Nalan Yiren said coldly: "Do you know why he wanted to kill my grandfather? It was because he wanted to get this Taotie Gu. When my grandfather refused to give it to him, he killed him in anger and planned to rob him. However, he didn't know that this Taotie Gu recognizes its owner. Even if I give it to you, it won't listen to you."

"Then you don't plan to give nothing, right?" This is not as simple as answering a few questions. Chen Mo will naturally not help for free.

"Of course not. Although my Poison King Valley is related to poisons, my medical skills are also unparalleled in the world. If someone in your family is seriously ill or infertile, I can help you with the treatment. It's guaranteed.

The Poison King Valley also has a kind of elixir that can delay aging and make women more beautiful. If you are willing to help, we can give it to you. "Nalan Yiren said with a bit of pride.

Hearing this, Chen Mo blinked, thought for a moment, and said, "In that case, I can help you. But I can only help you find out the exact whereabouts of Tang Yichen. Revenge will depend on you alone."

"make a deal."

Nalan Yiren had no intention of asking Chen Mo to help her kill Tang Yichen.

"Then when the rain stops, come with me to the army." Chen Mo said.

Nalan Yiren looked alert.

"Don't worry. Although I'm not a good person, I'm not a bad person either. Even if I want to do something bad to you, you can't be my opponent without going to the army." Chen Mo said.
