In the courtyard.
Jiang Shi casually tossed aside the corpse, his face indifferent as he shook off the blood from his hand, then bent down to search the body of the Celestial Poison Venerable.
All the venom on his body was rendered useless by Jiang Shi.
Automatically repelled by the Immune to All Poisons talent.
Before long, Jiang Shi took out several porcelain bottles, opened the lids, sniffed them lightly to confirm, then tossed his hand.
The porcelain bottles flew through the air towards the Lion-headed People and Tong Wushuang.
"Catch."
The Lion-headed People grabbed the porcelain bottles, scanned them with his eyes, then looked at Jiang Shi.
"The Elixir Pills inside can neutralize the poison affecting you."
Jiang Shi spoke calmly.
Neutralize the poison affecting us?
They were shocked.
When did they get poisoned again?
Yet hearing Jiang Shi’s words, they dared not refuse and quickly poured out the Elixir Pills inside to begin consumption.
The clouds dispersed.
The bright moonlight appeared again.
Jiang Shi stood motionless, towering in the courtyard, continuing to wait.
After another while.
There was more movent around, hissing softly.
Two figures landed on the surrounding rooftops, eyes cold, dressed in black, with evident prowess. Upon seeing Jiang Shi, they were about to leap down when their faces suddenly changed, quickly stopping, showing surprise.
The courtyard of bodies lay all around, blood flowing.
Several corpses in succession, each one horribly tragic!
"The Four Ghosts of Black Mountain, Celestial Poison Venerable!"
They gasped.
These guys are all dead?
Who did this?
The Yin Hu in the courtyard?
Impossible!
For a mont, the two figures were filled with suspicion and hesitation, standing motionless, observing closely.
Unseen by them, Jiang Shi seed not to notice and ignored them.
Soon, more movent arrived from afar, more figures landing on surrounding rooflines.
But like the previous duo, upon seeing the situation below, they quickly stopped, glancing at each other in disbelief.
Thus, ti passed.
High-level experts kept appearing, movents unabated, figures flickering.
All around, without noticing, more than ten figures had descended.
Inside, the Lion-headed People, Tong Wushuang, and Twelfth Prince showed surprise as well, looking around warily.
More and more formidable figures were appearing.
At this rate, not knowing how many experts would gather.
What was Yin Hu doing? Why not act yet?
Are they really waiting until more gather before acting?
"Sothing’s off, greatly off, we should prepare to escape."
The Lion-headed People whispered.
If Jiang Shi couldn’t hold them off, they must leave.
Even if it ans fighting to death, they must protect the Twelfth Prince.
Beside them, Tong Wushuang nodded gravely, saying nothing.
As ti passed, several experts quickly arrived, as more gathered the atmosphere gradually intensified, several cold eyes glanced below.
"Twelve Zodiac Gods, why aren’t more Phase Gods appearing?"
Soone’s voice icy, like the sound of a Demon Saber from Hell, scraping against the eardrum, stared at Jiang Shi, saying, "Bring out more of the experts, otherwise your power alone can’t resist us!"
"Twelve Zodiac Gods, being assassins requires the killer’s consciousness, why aren’t you killing but protecting people, what do you intend? Aren’t you afraid of breaking the rules?"
Another silhouette spoke coldly.
"Humph, there’s no need to fear you Twelve Zodiac Gods!"
A third silhouette’s voice was icy, saying, "Decades ago, we forced you Twelve Zodiac Gods to flee to the Southern Domain, afraid to return, decades later, we’ll make you keep your heads down just the sa. Today, just you alone can’t stop us."
"Yin Hu, move aside!"
Another silhouette spoke coldly, full of authority.
Their killing intent dense as black fog, rolling around.
Jiang Shi was unmoved, his gaze slowly sweeping the surroundings, saying, "Are there any others? Only you lot? I said I’d protect the child for ten days, after that, do as you wish. For ten days, give so face."
"Your face?"
Soone laughed sternly, hiding in shadow, saying, "Your face ans nothing, worthless. Who do you think you are to demand face."
"Heh heh..."
Others also sneered coldly, filled with mockery.
"Seems none of you intend to give face?"
Jiang Shi spoke calmly, "In that case, there’s nothing to say. I’ll stand here tonight, if anyone wants to act, co quickly."
"Humph!"
The crowd snorted coldly, their eyes sharp as blades, fixed on Jiang Shi, yet unable to disguise the faint dread deep in their gaze.
Celestial Poison Venerable!
The Four Ghosts of Black Mountain!
Their prowess was certainly not weak!
Yet all were slain here!
It’s hard not to speculate!
Slash!
Suddenly, the ground surged, an invisible force emanating as if so eerie thing swiftly moved from deep underground, next mont, a large hand erged from the earth, grabbing the ankle of the Twelfth Prince, letting out a cold laugh, forcefully pulling him underground, attempting rapid escape.
But at this mont!
Jiang Shi’s cold snort abruptly echoed underground, booming into that person’s mind, accompanied by a powerful Soul Attack, causing their head to pound, movents pausing, as if dazed beneath the earth.
Next mont, Jiang Shi’s body vanished instantly, a hand reaching swiftly into the ground, terrifyingly black fingers piercing through the earth, directly seizing a silhouette within, booming, pulling him along with the Twelfth Prince out from the earth.
