Just as her palm touched the Storage Pouch, she suddenly felt her vision go dark and collapsed to the ground.
"You foolish idiot! If you hadn't yelled and screamed, perhaps the poison wouldn't have taken you down so quickly. But no, you just had to make a scene..."
From within the valley, Zhou Yuanlian slowly emerged from the woods where she had been hiding, carrying a censer in her hand.
The poison had been released through the burning of the censer, which itself was a Magic Artifact used by Poison Cultivators.
As soon as she revealed herself, she waved her hand, sending a black poison needle — another Magic Artifact — straight toward the forehead of the woman lying on the ground.
After confirming that the black poison needle had pierced her target's forehead, Zhou Yuanlian walked forward confidently and took the Storage Pouch from her.
Then, she turned her gaze toward the Green-Faced Ghost Apes.
