"Can the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill neutralize this poison?" Ye Qing asked urgently, "Friends from the Shen Family, do any of you still have Ziyu Chenxiang Pills? Let help you detoxify first!"
The mbers of the Shen Family looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. In fact, every direct mber of the Shen Family always carried Ziyu Chenxiang Pills with them for protection. However, Ye Qing had consud all of Shen Qingyi's Ziyu Chenxiang Pills before, and Shen Qingyi was out of dicine. After Old Mada Shen returned, she had collected all the Ziyu Chenxiang Pills and handed them over to Shen Qingyi. So, even the mbers of the Shen Family were now without Ziyu Chenxiang Pills.
Seeing everyone like this, Ye Qing couldn't help feeling anxious. If the people from the Shen Family and Sha n remained weak and powerless, they would surely not escape disaster tonight. After all, Ye Qing himself didn't have the ability to hold off so many people from the Western Province.
"How can the Shen Family possibly be without Ziyu Chenxiang Pills? They must be hiding the dicine on them. Ye Qing, search their clothes, and you will definitely find it!" Ghost King Li Ruoyuan yelled loudly.
"That's right, the Shen Family have ill intentions. Now that they know Ziyu Chenxiang Pills can detoxify, they definitely want to cure themselves first, then take advantage of us all being poisoned to kill us. Ye Qing, if you really consider us from Sha n your friends, then go and snatch the Ziyu Chenxiang Pills from their bodies and cure us first!" Black Asura also shouted loudly.
Netherworld Scholar opened his mouth, intending to say sothing. But considering his grudge with Ye Qing, in the end, he chose not to speak.
Shen San said indignantly, "Our Shen Family mbers are not like you petty thieves from Sha n. If we indeed had Ziyu Chenxiang Pills, we would have taken them to detoxify by now and wouldn't be here listening to your despicable nonsense!"
"Exactly! If we really had Ziyu Chenxiang Pills, we would've detoxified ourselves first, then killed you all and completely exterminated Sha n!" another Shen Family mber shouted back.
"Look, Ye Qing, look at what he's saying," Ghost King Li Ruoyuan imdiately yelled, "Hear what they say—they'd exterminate Sha n completely if they were cured. Ye Qing, don't forget, you were saved by us from Sha n in your past encounters with danger. This ti, you can't just stand by and watch us get killed, right?"
Ye Qing stood in the middle, frowning. At this point, both Sha n and the Shen Family mbers had been poisoned, lacking even the strength to resist, yet they were still not prepared to join forces against the people from the Western Province. Instead, they were thinking about how to denigrate and deal with each other. The situation infuriated Ye Qing.
"Shut up, all of you!" Ye Qing roared, his gaze sweeping coldly over everyone present. He spoke sternly, "At this point, do you still have ti to argue about these matters? Once the poisonous smoke clears and the people from the Western Province break in, we're all dead! Aren't your grudges a matter of life and death? Well, if you all die here, that should settle it, right?"
The people from Sha n and the Shen Family imdiately shut their mouths, each wearing an ugly expression. The quarrel had distracted them, and they had nearly forgotten about the Western Province people outside. Now, reminded by Ye Qing's words, they were acutely aware of the seriousness of their situation.
Seeing their expressions, Ye Qing knew they were beginning to grasp the gravity of the situation. He then turned to the Shen Family mbers and said, "At this ti, the most critical thing is to repel the people from the Western Province first. We cannot let them achieve their goal, no matter what. mbers of the Shen Family, regardless of your grievances with Sha n, I hope you will take out all the Ziyu Chenxiang Pills. I will distribute them evenly between Sha n and the Shen Family mbers so that we can work together against the people from the Western Province!"
"Ye Qing is right, the Ziyu Chenxiang Pills should be distributed equally!" Ghost King Li Ruoyuan imdiately started to clamor loudly again, and the other mbers of Sha n echoed his sentint.
"Ye brothers, we really don't have any more Ziyu Chenxiang Pills," Shen Da sighed and said, "You ate five or sixty pills before, all of which were Qingyi's reserves. Qingyi needs to carry Ziyu Chenxiang Pills due to poor health. But since you consud Qingyi's reserve, Qingyi is now without protection. Therefore, Old Madam took all the Ziyu Chenxiang Pills from us to give to Qingyi for self-defense. Now, it's unlikely that the entire Shen Family can produce a single Ziyu Chenxiang Pill!"
Hearing this, Ye Qing felt sowhat embarrassed. He hadn't expected the Shen Family to be without Ziyu Chenxiang Pills for this reason. Ye Qing had heard from Tie Yongwen that even within the Shen Family, Ziyu Chenxiang Pills were an extrely rare dicine. And he had consud so many at once, directly causing the Shen Family to run out of stock!
"Are you talking nonsense?" Ghost King Li Ruoyuan said anxiously, "Without Ziyu Chenxiang Pills, what are we going to do?"
Shen Da looked helplessly at Ye Qing, without Ziyu Chenxiang Pills they couldn't recover their strength. In this way, they could only sit here and await their doom.
As tension and uncertainty gripped everyone, not knowing what to do, the white smoke in the hall gradually dispersed. By now, everyone could clearly see the situation outside; Wang Tian'an and Xu Cunxiao, along with fifty or sixty people, were standing at the doorway, waiting. Both Wang Tian'an and Xu Cunxiao were staring intensely at Ye Qing, their faces filled with murderous intent, as if they couldn't wait to rush in and kill him right away.
Wang Tian'an had been injured by Ye Qing, which is why he was so furious. Xu Cunxiao's brother, Xu Cunzhi, had been crippled by Ye Qing. Therefore, Xu Cunxiao also harbored a resolve to kill Ye Qing.
"Ye, I see you've been busy to no avail!" Wang Tian'an stood at the doorway and sneered, "When I ca here, I had already calculated everything clearly. Even if the Shen Family has any Ziyu Chenxiang Pills, how many could they possibly have? Ten, twenty, or thirty? How many people can these pills allow to recover their strength? But I've brought so many people, and if we all strike at once, all of you here will die. Do you really think we have spent twenty years in the Western Province without any preparation? If we weren't fully prepared, how could we dare to make a move so easily? Tonight, even if you have the Ziyu Chenxiang Pills and manage to stand up, so what? It just ans we will have to exert a bit more effort to kill all of you. However, it looks like I won't even need to expend that effort now!"
The Western Province people outside burst into loud laughter, to them, the Shen Family and the Sha n mbers were already like fish in a barrel. The only thing preventing them from storming in was the white smoke that had yet to completely clear. However, the smoke would soon dissipate entirely, and then they would be able to charge in and kill!
"Ye Qing, you should go first!" Shen Da sighed and, looking at the people from the Western Province outside, said, "Wang Tian'an and his people must have been scheming for twenty years, and the strength of their n is absolutely no weaker than our Shen Family's. Since they dare to act this ti, they must be completely confident. If you stay here, you are rely sacrificing your life in vain. This is a matter between our Shen Family and them, you shouldn't be dragged into it!"
"Yes, Ye brothers, you should go first!" Cui Yu also said, "These people from the Western Province aim to wipe out both us and the Shen Family mbers in one fell swoop. In this way, no one in the entire Western Province would be able to oppose them anymore. Tonight, whether we are poisoned or not, they will definitely not let any of us go. It's a pity that we did not detect their conspiracy in advance and have fallen for their plot, gathering together and falling into their trap. Alas, it seems that heaven has decided to abandon us!"
Cui Yu's words plunged both the Sha n and Shen Family mbers into silence. The two forces, which had been desperately fighting just monts ago, suddenly realized the absurdity of their prior struggles as they faced imminent death. The vendettas that had persisted for ten years now seed unimportant. Thinking back, if they had heeded Ye Qing's advice earlier and been wary of the Western Province people, perhaps they wouldn't have ended up in this predicant!
The Right Protector furrowed his brow, deep in anger without saying a word. He had collaborated with these people from the Western Province with the intention of using their power against the Xihang Shen Family. He thought he could control them and exploit their strength. Little did he expect that the Western Province people never saw him as an ally but instead wanted to take him down as well. He now greatly regretted it, but even with regret, he could only swallow his teeth in bitterness.
"Oh, such grand words from all of you. But what's the use of saying all this?" Wang Tian'an sneered, "Tonight, not only the Shen Family mbers must die, but also the Sha n mbers. Even you, Ye Qing, will not be able to leave the Shen Family Manor alive!"
"Is that so?" Ye Qing snorted coldly and suddenly walked to the door, closing it firmly.
Wang Tian'an sneered, "Ye, I advise you not to waste your efforts. Even if the powder isn't blown away by the wind, it will slowly settle to the ground and lose its effectiveness. Just wait another ten minutes, and we'll be able to move in. At that ti, I'll be the first to kill you!"
Ye Qing ignored Wang Tian'an. After closing the door, he imdiately went to shut all the windows as well.
The Sha n and Shen Family mbers stared in surprise at Ye Qing, unsure of what he was planning.
"Ye brothers, you should leave first!" Cui Yu whispered, "Take the chance to run in the chaos, you might still save your life. With the Seven-Star Ancient Sword in your hands, they may not be able to capture you!"
"Yes, Ye Qing, you should go first!" Shen Da also whispered.
"Why should I leave?" Ye Qing glanced over the crowd and said, "You don't need to worry, I still have one thod!"
"A thod? What thod?" Everyone looked at Ye Qing anxiously. Although most had lost hope, the prospect of a chance brought excitent.
