As the night deepens, a faint blue aura suddenly pierces through the sky, exploding over Xiaocang Mountain. However, the color is sowhat close to the azure night sky and lacks sound, making it hard to notice unless one is outdoors or stargazing.
Soon, a black shadow leaps down from the mountain but does not approach the small building imdiately. Instead, it stands at a safe distance, staring at the two-story building.
Faintly, painful groans co from inside the building, and there’s even soone attempting to push open the door to walk out but collapses just as they step down the stairs.
The corner of the mouth under the mask slightly curls up; Guan Qingyue turned out to be so useful. Perhaps this is the result of being unprepared.
After watching for a mont to ensure there’s no trickery, it then descends the hillside.
Standing outside the courtyard gate, one can sll the faint scent of blood from the yard.
At the entrance, he flips over the person collapsed at the door with his foot; it’s the gatekeeper, with blood at the corner of their mouth, already lifeless. Continuing inside, two people are down in the outer courtyard. Entering the second gate, several maidservants lie in the yard. In the open hall, a few people are also sprawled, but there’s no sign of Yang Ruxin, nor any Yang Family mbers. Feeling uneasy, he quickly leaps into the yard.
"Are you looking for ?" On the second-floor balcony, Yang Ruxin supports herself on the railing, looking at Diewu in the courtyard.
"You... you aren’t poisoned?" Diewu instantly feels disoriented.
"Diewu, are you really that foolish?" Yang Ruxin sneers, "I’m the apprentice of the Divine Doctor, known as Little Divine Doctor. I am also the apprentice of Tang Wanqian, the forr Sect Leader of Tang Sect. The thing I’m least afraid of is poison, yet you dared to send soone to poison ?"
Realizing this, Guan Qingyue feels dismayed; even if she hadn’t co, Yang Ruxin wouldn’t have been poisoned, right?
Diewu also feels a surge of frustration. How could this woman be so cunning? But now that she has practiced the Soul Devouring Technique to the third level, it’s enough to kill her. However, before she could make a move, murderous intent shoots from all directions, temporarily preventing her from reaching Yang Ruxin, forcing her to deal with the enemies first.
"Diewu, today is your death day." Gu Yao leads the charge, closing in with Shangguan Fei and others, pulling a large net along.
Diewu recognizes the peril and quickly flies to the side. Her increased inner strength and enhanced Qinggong allow her to barely evade the net, landing on the wall’s edge.
The group adjusts their direction and approaches again.
Diewu has no choice but to jump outside the courtyard.
The group pursues outside, but with the expanded space, the net loses its efficacy, prompting them to abandon it and draw their weapons, engaging in a clashing fight.
In the adjacent building, Dong Wenxiu and others who cannot fight dare not breathe loudly but are extrely anxious.
Of course, there are those who want to rush out, like Sanni, but are held back by Zhou Xiao. Charging out would be suicidal for this girl, fortunately, Sanni backs down easily, knowing her own limits, she is only capable of handling soone like Yang Baihe; when it cos to real fighting, she’s out of her depth.
Yang Ruxin breathes a sigh of relief; she had feared the fight might break out in the yard, which would lead to its ruin, and repairing it would cost silver.
Despite Diewu’s increased inner strength, the martial artists from Wulin finding her alone won’t be able to kill her. However, Gu Yao and others are top-notch experts, and even with many masters sieging her, it still proves sowhat strenuous.
