Bang!
A loud crash echoed, and the masked man kicked down the screen and suddenly stood up, radiating a terrifying aura of murderous intent.
"Murong Hai had the Forbidden Pill I gave him, how could he have been killed like this?"
His eyes were filled with disbelief, having just contacted Murong Hai the day before, aning he was killed today.
After taking the Forbidden Pill, Murong Hai’s power should have been comparable to the Foundation Establishnt Realm, who could have the strength to kill him?
"It must be that boy!"
Ziyan quickly spoke up.
"Sect Leader, I’ve ntioned to you that the young man beside Cheng Ruonan is especially formidable, his power is unfathomable, and he also practices the Poison Technique."
"I’m no match for him; Murong Hai being killed is within reason."
Though the man wore a mask, the viciousness in his eyes was palpable, and the True Qi emanating from him seed ready to level the place at any mont.
"Looks like we’ve encountered a master this ti. This man cannot be allowed to live, or my Ten Thousand Poisons Sect will be destroyed by him sooner or later."
His voice sounded very calm, but inside, his heart was trembling. For the first ti, he felt fear from soone he had not yet t.
"You ntioned before he seems just over twenty?"
Ziyan quickly nodded: "That’s right, and he is very close to Cheng Ruonan. Perhaps their relationship isn’t ordinary."
"Bitch! Previously, to make her Dual Cultivate, she could choose any man in the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, but she refused to comply. Now she takes the initiative to find a man."
The man gritted his teeth, slamming his palm onto the nearby table, shattering the solid wood and even causing the ground to tremble slightly.
At that mont, another voice ca from the doorway: "Sect Leader, bad news."
"Get in here and say it!"
With a furious roar, a subordinate ca crawling in, kneeling on the ground, his body trembling slightly.
"We’ve just discovered we can’t sense Ye Xixue; the poison inside her must have been neutralized."
"Say that again?"
The masked man widened his eyes abruptly, True Qi pouring out like flas.
"rcy, Sect Leader!"
The subordinate prostrated on the ground, his teeth chattering.
"Hahaha!"
The man’s laughter turned manic, but the sound was frightening, even the usually favored Ziyan felt fear and hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"Good! One after another, they’re all against : Cheng Ruonan’s betrayal, Ye Xixue’s poison neutralized, and the fool Murong Hai was killed too!"
His expression was delirious, his fists clenching tightly.
Attempts to assassinate Ye Ling’Er had repeatedly failed, and many subordinates had been lost instead.
This man cannot be spared, or the consequences will be endless!
Yet his Cultivation Technique requires being within the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect to be most effective. If he leaves, his power will be greatly diminished. First, he must think of a way to lure those people here.
"Ziyan, go to the intelligence office and have them investigate that boy’s identity. I need to know who his important friends or relatives are."
Once he gave the order, Ziyan imdiately grasped his intention, responded, and stood up to leave.
...
At that mont, inside the rented courtyard in Peach Blossom County.
As the three entered, Yang Cheng sensed the presence of an outsider in the courtyard.
He quickly reached out to stop Cheng Ruonan and Cheng Qiyue, gesturing for them to remain silent.
Both instantly held their breath, vigilantly scanning their surroundings.
Yang Cheng activated his X-ray Vision with a thought, scanned around the room, and, ensuring no one was inside, strode in rapidly.
"Soone has been to my ho."
With a casual glance, he discovered traces that didn’t belong to him.
"What? Then quickly check if anything is missing."
"There’s nothing of value at ho, doesn’t seem like the work of a thief; must be soone from the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect."
Yang Cheng’s expression was somber as he lazily reclined on the sofa.
He was sowhat curious why the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect people always found him silently, even tracing his residence.
Could they have planted many informants in Peach Blossom County?
"Ruonan, you ntioned before that the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect has an intelligence office, right?"
Yang Cheng suddenly asked.
Cheng Ruonan nodded: "Yes, that intelligence office is very mysterious. Even though I’ve been in the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect for so long, I’ve never seen their people; only the Sect Leader and his confidants can et them."
"Then the traces you found of were also provided by the intelligence office?"
"Yes, I called them, and very soon they gave the information."
Cheng Ruonan replied.
As he pondered, Yang Cheng’s phone suddenly rang.
Upon connecting, Murong Wan’s feeble voice ca through: "Yang Cheng, can you co find ? I feel increasingly weak."
Hearing her words, Yang Cheng suddenly rembered the important task of returning to Peach Blossom County was to free Murong Wan from the Soul-Devouring Lotus Seal.
"You’re sick?"
Yang Cheng imdiately asked.
"I’ve been to the hospital, but the doctors can’t identify what illness I have. I think it’s related to the Soul-Devouring Lotus Seal."
Murong Wan’s every word seed to exhaust all her energy.
"Wait for at ho, I’ll be there shortly."
Yang Cheng hung up the phone and imdiately got up.
"Was that a call from Wan’Er?"
Cheng Ruonan swiftly asked.
"It seems the Soul-Devouring Lotus Seal in her body has problems; her mortal body can’t handle it. You must quickly help her lift the seal, or it will endanger her life."
Yang Cheng said, his face serious.
"Then let’s hurry over!"
Cheng Ruonan anxiously urged, regretful amidst everything she had experienced.
She shouldn’t have hard innocents for selfish reasons.
Moreover, initially rescuing Murong Wan was out of pity for their similar backgrounds, but then using her to enhance her cultivation.
"Ms. Qi Yue, co along; with the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect people able to sneak into my house, I won’t be at ease leaving you alone."
Yang Cheng turned to Cheng Qiyue.
"Alright!"
Cheng Qiyue agreed.
The three barely settled down before hastily leaving.
At that mont in the villa outside the city.
Murong Wan lay on the bed, clutching the phone tightly, her face pale and breath weak, feeling she might faint any second.
Two days prior, she had undergone a full-body check-up at the hospital, but the results showed only slight malnutrition; no other issues were found.
She guessed it was related to the Soul-Devouring Lotus Seal and was deeply anxious inside.
As Murong Wan’s consciousness gradually blurred, she suddenly heard hurried footsteps.
The room door was abruptly pushed open, and Yang Cheng and the others rushed in as he grabbed Murong Wan’s hand, infusing True Qi to investigate within her.
"Wan’Er, what’s happened to you."
Cheng Ruonan’s voice trembled; seeing Murong Wan’s weakened state saddened her deeply as well.
