Just then, General Meng Yu called Yang Xia to inform him that he had arrived in the coastal area of ​​Yan Kingdom.

"General Meng is indeed swift! Please wait there for a moment, I will be there shortly."

Upon hearing this news, Yang Xia's face lit up with an excited smile—the next steps could now proceed.

That night, Yang Xia left without saying goodbye and did not explain his whereabouts to Sun Zhengming.

Sun Zhengming was feeling troubled and alone in his room, unaware of Yang Xia's actions.

Yang Xia arrived at the place where General Meng Yu's ship was moored and boarded the large ship in a flash.

"Your Majesty, what are we to do next? Now you can tell me!"

Upon seeing Yang Xia, Meng Yu couldn't wait to ask him any questions.

Yang Xia smiled mysteriously and took out his own specially prepared poison—the poison was contained in an exquisite little bottle.

"Your Majesty, what is this?"

Meng Yu looked bewildered, not knowing what Yang Xia intended to do.

"This is a specially made poison, extremely cunning, and the other side certainly won't be able to make an antidote. Let's let the Nebula Kingdom taste what it's like to be poisoned."

Yang Xia finally revealed his purpose, and General Meng Yu's eyes also flashed with excitement.

"Your Majesty is wise! It should have been done long ago—to use their own methods against them, and let those people from the Nebula Kingdom taste our power!"

Meng Yu felt extremely pleased and wholeheartedly approved of Yang Xia's actions.

Yang Xia had already divided the prepared poison into ten small bottles and carefully handed them to General Meng Yu.

"General Meng, immediately dispatch ships to scatter these poisons into the territory of Xingyun Kingdom, and then wait for the results."

Yang Xia calmly made the arrangements, and Meng Yu nodded in agreement.

The subsequent actions must be foolproof. Under the cover of night, these poisons can be scattered throughout the Nebula Kingdom without anyone noticing.

After completing Yang Xia's instructions, Meng Yu led his men to retreat quietly.

They acted with extreme secrecy, and the people of Nebula Kingdom were still asleep, completely unaware that the surrounding water sources had already been polluted.

Overnight, the number of people poisoned in the Nebula Kingdom reached 100,000. The ruler of the Nebula Kingdom was shocked upon learning this news.

"What exactly happened? Report back the details immediately, the more detailed the better!"

The ruler of Xingyun Kingdom, almost frantically, ordered his subordinates to thoroughly investigate the specific circumstances.

This is no child's play—the Nebula Kingdom has been thrown into chaos overnight, and if things continue this way, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Your Majesty, the number of people poisoned has now exceeded 100,000 and is still increasing."

"This poison is extremely rare, and there is no antidote available. The people poisoned are suffering terribly and have been tortured beyond recognition."

His subordinates immediately reported this to the Lord of Xingyun Kingdom, leaving him even more speechless.

"How could this be? Who did this? Find out the truth behind this as soon as possible!"

The Lord of Nebula roared like a madman, ordering his men to investigate immediately.

However, when Yang Xia concocted this poison, he did not truly intend to kill everyone.

Although this poison is extremely cunning, it is not fatal; it only causes the poisoned person unbearable pain.

In an instant, the Nebula Kingdom was in chaos, with the tragic plight of poisoned people everywhere, and the entire nation was gripped by fear.

The ruler of Xingyun Kingdom issued a strict order to investigate the source of the poisoning and its background within a specified time.

The high-ranking officials of the Nebula Kingdom also began to feel anxious—they felt immense pressure, and if they could not quell the matter quickly, they would have no way to explain it to the king.

"You must immediately mobilize all medical resources and find a way to detoxify the people of Nebula!"

The higher-ups also began to exert pressure on the medical team to turn the situation around as soon as possible.

However, it ultimately had no effect, and the poisoning condition did not improve at all.

"Your Majesty, despite the best efforts of all our medical resources, there has been no success."

"The poison we were given this time was extremely cunning and impossible to cure."

The high-ranking officials reported this situation to the ruler of Xingyun Kingdom with trepidation, and the ruler immediately flew into a rage.

"You bunch of good-for-nothings! You're just eating for nothing, completely useless when it matters!"

The ruler of Xingyun Kingdom suddenly burst into curses. Faced with such a dire situation, he was already in complete disarray.

"Your Majesty, is it possible that this poisoning incident is closely related to the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

"They never intended for us to find the antidote."

Suddenly, someone in the higher-ups made this speculation, and the others echoed it.

"That's right! It's highly likely. It might really be a revenge move by the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Senior officials responded one after another, all believing that this was the most likely possibility.

"Then you must do everything in your power to negotiate with the Great Zhou Dynasty and resolve this crisis as soon as possible!"

The ruler of Xingyun immediately gave the order, and the high-ranking officials hurriedly began preparations.

A senior leader immediately contacted Mike—who held a high position in their organization.

Furthermore, Mike has already contacted Yang Xia, and there may be some kind of cooperation between the two.

But now it seems that Yang Xia is an unpredictable person, so Mike has no choice but to continue dealing with him.

After Mike understood the whole story, he was also filled with resentment—he felt that Yang Xia was more cunning than he had imagined.

“I’ll contact Yang Xia right away… It must have been them.”

Mike was certain that the answer must be the same.

He immediately called Yang Xia and demanded that Yang Xia hand over the antidote.

"This was not my doing."

When Mike finally called, Yang Xia chuckled inwardly—his plan was about to succeed. But he vehemently denied the poisoning.

No one will admit to such behavior, and it will inevitably be condemned by public opinion. Just like the Nebula Kingdom, which did something shady but refused to admit it even when confronted with a vengeance.

"However... I do have a way to help you create an antidote."

After denying poisoning, Yang Xia said this with a smile, which made Mike so angry that he almost vomited blood.

They had inadvertently revealed their secret—it was clearly Yang Xia who poisoned the food, but the other party stubbornly refused to admit it, leaving them helpless.

What exactly do you want?

Mike knew that Yang Xia was about to make demands after saying that.

"Of course, I have a condition: your Nebula Kingdom must provide the antidote for the poisons that were released by the Great Zhou Dynasty, along with the relevant formulas." ... "This is called reciprocity. Once you provide the antidote I want, the antidote you want will naturally appear as well."

Yang Xia didn't hold back and started bargaining with them, because he had the leverage to negotiate with them.

This tit-for-tat move was executed brilliantly. Yang Xia had firmly grasped the lifeline of the Nebula Kingdom, and from now on, they probably wouldn't be able to resist his orders.

After hearing Yang Xia's words, Mike suddenly realized that Yang Xia was indeed behind this.

But the other party learned this trick from the Nebula Kingdom and stubbornly refused to admit it.

Mike smiled wryly, not expecting Yang Xia to be so powerful, actually pushing Nebula Kingdom to this point.

Although they were unwilling to admit to poisoning the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yang Xia had successfully thrown the Xingyun Kingdom into chaos, with poisoned people everywhere.

The ruler of Xingyun Kingdom put immense pressure on them, forcing them to agree to Yang Xia's conditions.

"Yang Xia, I'll go talk to my superiors and see if they can agree to your request."

Mike knew that Yang Xia wouldn't back down easily and had deliberately set up this trap, so he compromised and said he would communicate with his superiors.

"Great, I hope we can get a reply as soon as possible. This would be very beneficial for both of us."

Yang Xia had already officially begun negotiating with the other party, so there was no need for him to hide anything.

After hanging up the phone, Mike quickly reported the news to the higher-ups, who in turn reported it to the King.

"It was Yang Xia who did it. That guy is absolutely despicable. He just wants to completely throw our Nebula Kingdom into chaos."

The ruler of Xingyun Kingdom was furious and wished he could immediately send troops to deal with the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"No, we absolutely cannot agree to this. We cannot let them hold us by the throat. The Great Zhou Dynasty and the Yan Kingdom are allies. We cannot let them succeed so easily."

The ruler of Xingyun Kingdom was unwilling to agree to Yang Xia's conditions, and even less willing to easily give up the threat to Yan Kingdom.

They had meticulously planned this outcome for a long time, and now that they had stirred up the Yan Kingdom into turmoil, victory was within their grasp.

Unexpectedly, a man named Yang Xia suddenly appeared, wanting to seize their lifeline. The ruler of Xingyun Kingdom would never agree to this.

The matter was thus temporarily shelved, and these high-ranking officials were unsure of how things would ultimately develop.

Since the king had made this decision, they dared not disobey and had no choice but to issue orders in accordance with the king's wishes.

They will absolutely not compromise with the Great Zhou Dynasty; this is their bottom line.

However, as the toxin continued to spread throughout the Nebula Kingdom and more and more people were poisoned, some voices of doubt immediately emerged.

"What exactly do these high-ranking leaders of the Nebula Kingdom mean? They have ulterior motives and disregard the lives of the people."

Many people have begun to suspect the sinister intentions of the top leaders. Perhaps in their eyes, they only see the interests of the Nebula Kingdom and do not care about the lives of the people.

They were well aware of the ambitions of the high-ranking leaders of the Nebula Kingdom, who had long harbored designs on the Yan Kingdom, and thus had infiltrated a very powerful force within it.

The top leaders of the Nebula Kingdom, from top to bottom, had long hoped to annex the surrounding countries and rapidly develop them into a world power.

No matter how powerful their ambitions may be, they are now facing the devastation and suffering of the people of Nebula Kingdom. If they were to turn a blind eye at this time, their actions would be utterly inhumane.

People should always be the priority, and this is especially true for a country, so that people can feel safe and secure in the country.

"Yes, we should organize some people to take to the streets to protest. Their actions are outrageous; they simply don't care about people's lives."

These people became increasingly agitated and prepared to take action to protest against the high-ranking leaders of the Nebula Kingdom.

Immediately afterward, these voices grew stronger, and people took to the streets to resist with their own actions.

"The top leaders of the Nebula Kingdom must give the people an explanation. Do they really not care about the lives of the people?"

"These high-ranking leaders are deliberately trying to kill ordinary people. They only care about national interests. Do they think the people deserve to die?"

As the number of protesters increased, the Nebula Kingdom began to experience internal turmoil.

The ruler of Xingyun Kingdom, however, remained resolute and refused to compromise with Yang Xia.

"Your Majesty, the Nebula Kingdom is in chaos. Many people have taken to the streets to protest, saying that the kingdom's leaders don't care about the lives of its people."

General Meng Yu had already inquired about the current situation in Xingyun Kingdom and hurriedly and happily reported it to Yang Xia.

"Excellent, this is exactly the effect I wanted. I want to see how long those people from Nebula Kingdom can hold out."

Yang Xia was overjoyed upon hearing the result; his goal was about to be achieved.

However, he did not expect that these high-ranking leaders of the Nebula Kingdom were determined to fight him to the death. He did not have the patience to wait, so he decided to add fuel to the fire.

After considering these factors, Yang Xia immediately called Mike.

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you something: this toxin will intensify over time until it leads to death."

Yang Xia exaggerated the serious consequences when he told Mike about them, and Mike indeed panicked.

"I'll have a good talk with my superiors and give you an answer as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Mike immediately relayed Yang Xia's words to the high-ranking officials, who then quickly passed them on to the ruler of Nebula Kingdom.

"That damned Yang Xia, how dare he keep threatening us!"

When the ruler of Xingyun Kingdom heard about this, he gritted his teeth in hatred. It was clear that Yang Xia was the one who caused this whole thing.

"Your Majesty, the situation outside is already very chaotic. According to Yang Xia, the situation will only get worse, and then our Xingyun Kingdom will be in complete chaos."

The high-ranking leaders also quickly tried to persuade him, as they dared not continue the stalemate with Yang Xia.

In the end, the Nebula Kingdom had no choice but to compromise and prepare to hand over the antidotes as Yang Xia had suggested.

"Immediately tell Mike to hand over the antidote formula and some of the antidote preparation to Yang Xia."

The ruler of the Nebula Kingdom immediately issued an order, instructing them to resolve the matter as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, this is wonderful! Now the people of our Great Zhou Dynasty are saved."

"They've been tortured for so long, but the crisis is finally over."

After receiving the antidote, Meng Yu was overjoyed. They had been eagerly awaiting this day and had to admire Yang Xia's resourcefulness.

"Do not use these antidotes on the general public yet. Use them on some poisoned animals first, and only use them after confirming that it is safe."

Yang Xia remained calm and did not directly administer the antidote to the people, fearing that if the other party acted maliciously, the people would suffer again.

"Your Majesty's idea is the most thoughtful. I will immediately have someone try it on those animals."

Meng Yu quickly followed Yang Xia's advice and personally found the poisoned animals to conduct experiments.

After conducting experiments, it was discovered that these were indeed the antidote, and they quickly shared this answer with Yang Xia.

"Your Majesty, these antidotes are genuine and can indeed remove the toxins from the bodies of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Meng Yu happily reported to Yang Xia, which meant that the crisis of the Great Zhou Dynasty would soon be resolved.

"Yang Xia, our Xingyun Kingdom has already delivered the antidote. When will your antidote arrive?" (End of Chapter)
