Alex moved. He immediately flew toward Tai Guidao in the sky, trying to get a pill out in time to help him.
However, before he could arrive, 3 Elders flew from either side, immediately stopping him from moving any further.
"No disciple is allowed to help someone else when they are consuming poison," one of the three elders said. They quoted one of the major rules of the sect back at Alex.
If someone was dying of poison, you weren't allowed to save their life.
Alex tried to force his way past the elders but was incapable of going against them. Each one of the Elders was far above Alex in the Immortal realm, and thus not someone he could so easily defeat.
Alex looked past them at Tai Guidao, trying to understand what poison he had been fed. Hell, did he even have anything to heal him at the moment?
