Tan Yun Mansion, Room Geng.
After pushing the door open, Yang Chan stopped right at the entrance, not going all the way in.
If it were dayti, this situation would have been discovered long ago, but at night, there were fewer people paying attention.
Even with the major commotion just now, most people’s attention had been drawn to the destroyed courtyard, where they were checking on the situation.
Yang Chan, however, felt that his habit of not liking to watch a spectacle wasn’t always a good thing. ’If I had lingered to watch the excitent, I wouldn’t have returned to my room so early.’
’Or if a few injured disciples had been sent over for treatnt, I could have used that ti to avoid this person in my room.’
Yang Chan spoke with an air of righteousness, but in reality, it was all to save his own life. He didn’t believe a word the man in front of him said. At the sa ti, he didn’t dare to run, because he had seen how fast this person was.
With his Tier Two Entry Wind-Stepping Technique, he stood no chance of outrunning this man.
There was already a gap in their fundantal strength, and his Body Technique was also inferior. The disparity between them was only growing larger.
So, he didn’t run.
"Kid, you’ve said so much. Aren’t you just trying to stall for ti?"
"The Inner Masters in Tan Yun Mansion can’t sense my aura right now. Your plan is going to fail. Now that I’ve recovered so of my strength... well, sorry about this, but it’s ti for to send you on your way!"
"That little contraption in your room injured . It’s only fair that I take your life to pay for it."
As Shen Yuan spoke, he vanished in an instant.
He had found quite a few healing dicines in Yang Chan’s room and had used them all. Combined with the preparations he already had, he’d managed to recover a bit of strength in that short ti.
Just enough to take care of this troubleso kid.
A long standoff would do him no good.
"Is that so? Activate!"
A faint smile played on Yang Chan’s lips. He hadn’t been talking with the man for so long just to chat.
The Qianji Yin needed to slowly perate the body; the longer, the better.
He had already set up the Qianji Yin in the room. But compared to a potent poison like the Five Poison Powder, Qianji Yin had almost no scent and caused no discomfort.
Yang Chan had noticed it as soon as he entered the room—the air was still suffused with the scent of Qianji Yin. This was perfect for him. He had been nonchalantly talking with the man to get him to speak more, and thus inhale more of it.
When he felt the ti was right, he released the poison’s catalyst from his body.
At the sa ti, he bolted backward.
His speed was also extrely fast.
"Damn it, it’s poison! It’s in all my Five Viscera and Six Viscera! How is that possible?"
Shen Yuan’s palm struck the spot where Yang Chan had just been standing when a sharp pain shot through his body. Before he could even wonder why Yang Chan was so fast, the agonizing pain erupted from within.
This poison was even more severe than the Five Poison Powder he had encountered in Yang Chan’s room earlier.
When the Five Poison Powder had taken effect, he had sensed it quickly and imdiately began Tempering his internal organs to expel the toxins.
But now, it was erupting in all his Five Viscera and Six Viscera. If he were at his peak, he could have taken the ti to deal with it. However, he was currently heavily injured. His internal organs were already severely damaged, and the dicine he had just taken had only restored a tiny fraction of his health, not healed him completely.
Triggered by this powerful toxin, the intense pain instantly made him collapse to the ground.
"Assassin! There’s an assassin!"
Yang Chan didn’t stick around to check the result; he just started shouting.
He hadn’t expected to kill the Inner Master from the No-Life Evil Cult with just the Qianji Yin. He had only wanted to buy himself a little more ti, and with that ti, make his escape.
The result was just as he had hoped: the Inner Master was incapacitated.
anwhile, his shouts attracted many people, including the unfamiliar Inner Refining Elder he had seen earlier. The man rushed swiftly into Yang Chan’s room.
He naturally wouldn’t give the man another chance to escape. At the sa ti, Yang Chan noticed that Elder Lü Zhenghai, dicine Hall Master Gu An, and others had appeared, positioning themselves to prevent any further escape attempts.
Before long, the unfamiliar Inner Master erged from Yang Chan’s room, dragging a corpse and wearing a strange expression. He glanced at Yang Chan before leaving with Shen Yuan’s body.
It was worth noting that no fierce battle had broken out.
When Gu An and the others saw the corpse in the old man’s hands, they all let out a long sigh of relief. They had finally killed this "Shen Paopao."
The man was ridiculously good at running; he had nearly escaped from their joint attack. That kind of ability was truly unusual, but it also spoke to Shen Yuan’s skill.
"Yang Chan, co with ."
The old man had spoken a few words to Gu An as he passed by before leaving. Gu An, in turn, wore a strange expression as he spoke to Yang Chan.
"Yes, Hall Master."
Yang Chan nodded, guessing what the other man wanted to ask. ’It’s no big deal,’ he thought. ’At most, I’ll have to reveal the existence of a poison like Qianji Yin, but that won’t have a major impact on .’
’As a Pharmacist, it’s perfectly normal to know how to concoct a few types of poison.’
’It’s also normal that I’d set up so poisons in my room after feeling uneasy upon entering Tan City.’
Gu An led Yang Chan to the White Stone Courtyard, which was also Gu An’s residence.
"The Inner Master from the No-Life Evil Cult tonight was nad Shen Yuan. He was one of the first people who ca to Tan City to spread the Evil Cult’s teachings. The man is incredibly fast. Several of us laid a trap to kill him tonight, but he nearly managed to escape."
"I never expected he would ultimately die at your hands. This will be counted as a great rit for you. It will be recorded in your Contribution Points, and there will be other rewards as well."
As Gu An said this, he sounded a bit emotional. He’d never imagined that Shen Yuan would die by Yang Chan’s hand.
"What kind of poison did you use in your room? The Supre Elder said your poison was very interesting."
Gu An continued, his face full of curiosity.
He didn’t ask about Yang Chan’s thought process, but about other details.
"Qianji Yin. It’s a type of mixed poison. Normally, it’s harmless and can settle in the body’s Five Viscera and Six Viscera—it even has so benefits. However, when its catalyst is used, it can instantly erupt with extre toxicity, making it impossible to defend against."
"Before I ca down the mountain this ti, I happened to have prepared so and placed it in my room. I didn’t expect this fiend would stumble right into it. So I stalled him for a while, waiting for the poison to take full effect in his body, then detonated it with the catalyst. I’m not clear on what happened after that."
Yang Chan not only answered the question about Qianji Yin but also explained the whole sequence of events to provide so clarification.
Gu An hadn’t asked for details, but Yang Chan felt he needed to provide them to avoid any misunderstandings.
At the sa ti, Yang Chan was rather surprised. A Supre Elder had actually co down the mountain for this mission. That was extrely secret information; he never would have expected such a figure to be here.
People of that stature were all quite old, but their Combat Power was also terrifying. No wonder Shen Yuan could only flee from him.
"It’s fine, I was just asking. Since Shen Yuan died because of your poison, you’ll get a share of the credit. You can start thinking about what reward you want to exchange for when you return to the Cyan Yuan Sect."
Gu An’s attitude was very cordial. He had always been optimistic about Yang Chan, and now even more so.
