Chapter 77: The Curtain Gradually Lifts, All Five Powers Are Ready

In just a flash, Ning Xuan’s icy expression began to burn. He raised his hand, cupped it towards Qin Shan Jun, then pulled his foolish wife to his side and said in a low, hateful voice, “That day, you and I almost fainted from the poison and fell into the hands of others. The consequences would have been unimaginable. Xuezhi, Brother Qin is standing up for us. How can we hold him back at a time like this?”

Although the two spoke in low voices, what kind of place was this?

This place looked like a village, but it wasn’t a real village.

Hidden here was a martial arts sacred land that had inherited the legacy of the sects from a hundred years ago and had developed independently for nearly a hundred years.

Perhaps it was just one of the sacred lands, but those who could be in this inner village were all extraordinary in strength.

The low-voiced conversation between the two was almost crystal clear to everyone around.

Qin Shan Jun was stunned in his heart.

He had misjudged…

This kid was still a child after all. Had he failed to understand his meaning?

Listening to this kid’s words, this kid had actually already forgiven the other party in his heart, and also felt that he was being aggressive. It was only because he was standing up for this kid that this kid “didn’t want to hold him back.”

Or perhaps this kid still harbored anger in his heart, but felt that there were many strong people here and didn’t want to cause trouble, only wanting to stop at a certain point. That’s why he deliberately said such words, hoping to neither offend himself nor the surrender faction on the other side.

In this world, who wasn’t a shrewd person?

As soon as Gong Siji heard this, he immediately climbed up the pole and said loudly, “This must be General Ning, right?”

Ning Xuan cupped his hands from afar and said, “Indeed.”

Gong Siji said apologetically, “It is my village’s lax governance that has caused such a joke. I apologize to the General and his wife. For this matter… my village is willing to offer compensation, only asking to settle the matter peacefully. After all, with the nation in peril, everyone is united against the outside. If internal strife arises from this, it is truly not what we wish to see.”

Ning Xuan also said apologetically, “Brother Qin is standing up for my wife and me. I am willing to listen to Brother Qin in everything, not to mention that it was indeed dangerous that day. Alas, Mr. Gong, imagine if you were to fall into the hands of others while unconscious, what would you do?”

Gong Siji thought to himself that there was a chance, so he let out a long sigh, and was about to add more chips to persuade this young man to avoid Qin Shan Jun, that mad dog.

Qin Shan Jun, on the other side, was afraid that if they continued talking, his plan would be ruined. He immediately let out a loud roar, “Enough!!”

The thunderous sound instantly quieted the surroundings.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Qin Shan Jun.

This great general’s reputation was well-known. He was a person from the previous era, and now he was a fourth-grade expert at the level of a village chief.

Although he was not yet a village chief, he was younger than the village chief.

He had returned at just the right time. Perhaps… soon, he would be the next village chief.

No one dared not to listen to him.

Qin Shan君 scanned Ning Xuan and his wife, then glared fiercely at Gong Siji, “What? Trying to use words to scare a child?! I’m still here, if you have something to say, say it to me!!”

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and his ferocious expression changed to a gentle one, “Little Ning, you take your junior sister back first. Don’t get involved here. As your older brother, I will get this justice for you.”

His form of address had unknowingly changed to “Little Ning.”

A child, a junior, of course, he had to add the word “little.”

This meant he no longer saw him as a peer.

Otherwise, he would have at least called him “General Ning” or “Brother Ning” as before.

Lu Xuezhi was muddle-headed, feeling as if she were in a fog, not knowing what had happened.

It seemed very simple. Senior Brother Qin was standing up for them, being aggressive. Her meaning was that there was no need to be so unforgiving, while her husband’s meaning had a bit of “daring to be angry but not daring to speak, making a big issue small.” As for pulling her back, it was because he didn’t want her to embarrass Senior Brother Qin.

A very simple matter…

But… why did she feel that something was not quite right?

Especially when standing next to Ning Xuan, this feeling was even clearer.

The husband by her side actually gave her an illusion of being bottomless.

This illusion came without reason, without logic, just a strange telepathy between husband and wife.

Ning Xuan had already respectfully cupped his fists and said, “Thank you, Brother Qin.”

After finishing the salute, he actually cupped his hands towards Gong Siji on the other side.

Gong Siji smiled and returned the salute.

The next moment, Ning Xuan hurriedly pulled Lu Xuezhi’s hand and dragged her away from the scene.

Back at the boat house.

The sky was dark, and strange “gurgling” sounds came from the depths of the swamp…

Madam Zhao was boiling water, a Qin family girl was helping by the side, and Xiao Jie was also helping.

In the dark night, only the red flames in the boat house flickered with human figures, revealing a bit of warmth.

When the two returned, Xiao Jie was chatting and laughing with them. Seeing movement on the deck in front of the boat, she poked her head out to look, and then said, “It’s husband and sister who have returned!”

Madam Zhao smiled and said, “You’re back just in time, the bath water is just about to be ready.”

Xiao Jie tilted her head, exchanged a smile with Madam Zhao, and said, “Not having to worry about other things, just thinking about when the water will be ready, when the food will be ready, and whether the winter cotton-padded jackets are ready, is also a happy thing. Sister has really found her own happiness.”

Madam Zhao smiled even more happily, because Xiao Jie’s words spoke to her heart.

The first half of her life was full of ups and downs, full of fear and anxiety. Now that she had taken off the luxurious dress of a great general’s wife and put on the clothes of a peasant girl, thinking about daily necessities every day, her heart had truly calmed down.

Now, even if she were to go back and be the great general’s wife again, she wouldn’t want to.

When Ning Xuan and the other returned, the Qin family girl over there ran away.

Madam Zhao prepared the bathtub for the two, took out the dried clothes, and didn’t ask about the situation in front…

In her heart, Qin Shan Jun could solve everything.

Ning and Lu were as usual.

Ning Xuan bathed first, had a tender moment with Xiao Jie, and then Lu bathed, taking over from Xiao Jie.

Lu Xuezhi’s long legs were tightly pressed together, her hips pressed against the edge of the bed. She bathed very cleanly every day. The water would be shaken away by her power, and even her hair would dry quickly.

At this time, she glanced at the light barrier bell that was emitting a transparent light shield, and then asked, “Just now… what happened?”

Ning Xuan sat down beside her and held her onto the bed.

The husband and wife slept in the same place.

In Ning Xuan’s heart, the wife beside him was a “pig teammate.” Of course, he was unwilling to reveal his thoughts, so he only said, “Don’t ask. What you see is what you get.”

Lu Xuezhi suddenly turned over, her elbows propped on his chest, her long legs翘起 and crossed behind her. Her bright and moving face turned to look at him and asked, “Isn’t it like this? Senior Brother Qin is being aggressive, the other party is considering the overall situation, and you don’t want to offend either side?”

As she got along with the husband beside her, Lu Xuezhi became more and more obedient.

This fiery mare of a woman had already begun to be “tamed.”

Even though her man couldn’t beat her, she always felt that her man’s mind was more mature than hers, and that he could make the right decisions at critical moments, and also seemed to be able to see some things that she couldn’t.

So, originally, she made her own decisions in everything, such as letting Madam Zhao go, and communicating with her master. But now she wanted to discuss it with Ning Xuan.

But Ning Xuan didn’t want to discuss it with her.

Ning Xuan felt that if he discussed it with this stupid wife, it would be a disaster.

The stupid wife might not have felt anything, but he had felt a lot of things.

Boiling a frog in warm water, an assassin revealing a dagger, things in the world always happen suddenly, without giving you any warning. If you can perceive it, you have a chance to avoid it. If you can’t perceive it, you will inevitably be drawn in.

In the stupid wife’s eyes, this might be a peaceful martial arts sacred land. Even if everyone had some differences in their attitude towards demons, they were all working hard to think about how to drive away the Taiyin ghosts, which could be said to be working together.

The atmosphere here was also very good, just like a hidden paradise, where you could put down all the hustle and bustle of the outside world and just cultivate quietly. Everyone was a martial artist, very pure. Even if they had some thoughts, they were definitely not as complicated as the outside world.

But…

Just a few things gave Ning Xuan a terrible guess.

One, the control of the Shanmo Sect’s believers, and according to the information passed back by the Jixiang Merchant Guild, the Shanmo Sect’s palace should be nearby.

Two, someone inexplicably intercepted and modified the letters, trying to have him and his stupid wife taken away while they were unconscious.

Three, there were disagreements in the Five Poisons Sect. The surrender faction hoped to migrate to the incense fire world where the Buddhist, Daoist, and demonic beings were.

Four, the surrender faction wanted to settle the matter peacefully, was unwilling to let this matter escalate, and did not want to tear faces with this side.

So, was there a possibility…

That in order to migrate to the incense fire world, someone in the surrender faction had become a believer, wholeheartedly loyal to the demons.

Because his and his stupid wife’s identities were special, they would return to the imperial court, and have the opportunity to become divine generals and hold high positions. So, having him and his stupid wife taken away in an unconscious state, then converted into believers, and then brought back to the Five Poisons Sect as if nothing had happened, did that conform to logic and the principle of maximizing benefits?

If he hadn’t been careful, the other party would have succeeded.

Who had such great ability to intercept and modify letters?

The scapegoat that was sent out?

That was just a minion, a scapegoat.

Qin Shan Jun had obviously also thought of these things. He was investigating this matter.

The matter of him and his stupid wife was indeed not worth making a big fuss about, but now Qin Shan Jun was no longer fussing about this matter, but about a matter that would hurt the bones and muscles, and even concern the survival of the Five Poisons Sect.

Qin Shan Jun could accept cooperating with demons, but he would absolutely not accept becoming a believer of demons.

What was a believer?

A slave!

He and Qin Shan Jun both didn’t know how the other party converted believers.

But they both understood: believers were like a plague. If there was one, there would be two. If there were two, there would be four. It spread very quickly.

When a matter logically constituted a trend of maximizing the interests of a certain party, and there were no obvious loopholes, then this matter… Ning Xuan would believe that it really existed.

Therefore, he felt that the above was the truth of why someone tried to drug him and Lu Xuezhi.

This was just the tip of the treacherous iceberg.

Ning Xuan even felt that he and Lu Xuezhi could no longer leave this place, because if what he thought was true, the moment they left this place and returned the way they came, would be the moment the sheep entered the tiger’s mouth. Someone was destined to be waiting for them outside.

As for following Qin Shan Jun to investigate, it was like plunging into the very center of the vortex. How could you know who was human and who was a ghost? The others were in the dark, and you were in the light. The dangers hidden in the darkness would come one after another.

So, just now, Ning Xuan first jumped out of the vortex, and then simply showed weakness.

Everyone had their own ulterior motives, their own plans and layouts.

He…

Did he not have any?

He, Ning Xuan, had never been a good person who would submit to adversity.

The duel with the nightmare Tianyouzi gave him inspiration.

Nightmare Xiao Jie let him verify his inspiration.

This made him understand one thing: everyone could become his resource, as long as he proceeded step by step, from weak to strong.

What he lacked now was just time and blood.

But blood was not easy to get.

It was easy to get Xiao Jie’s, but it was too difficult to get the blood of the strong.

So…

Fight, make a scene.

Everyone will become a stepping stone for him to become stronger!

“Heh…” A curve appeared at the corner of Ning Xuan’s mouth.

This curve was not without its own evil.

After the daily dual cultivation, it was daily life again.

In the darkness, rumbling, rustling…

Suddenly, Lu Xuezhi said coquettishly, “Why are you so barbaric, you even drew blood?”

However, she didn’t say anything more. She quickly lay down, lay on her side in Ning Xuan’s arms, her gaze passing through the transparent film of the light barrier bell and landing on the oiled paper window.

The four seasons of the world fragment followed the outside. At this time, it started to snow lightly outside.

The light snow fell quietly.

Lu Xuezhi’s heart also calmed down.

The paleness and coldness always made people feel the warmth of home more, the importance of the person beside them, and the feeling that this world was slowly dying. But no matter what, the person beside them was still there, warming and depending on each other.

“I really want to stay here forever.”

The stupid wife made her speech, “Husband, one day, when we have destroyed the Zixia Temple and restored the imperial power, we will come back here, or go to a place like this, and live in seclusion, no longer asking about the chaos and hustle and bustle of the outside world, and indulge in the mountains and rivers, okay?

With the dragon qi, the one who ascends the throne has to take into account the will of the common people, otherwise he will be replaced. In this way, the superiors will definitely pay attention to the inferiors, and the common people can also live a good life. There will be no more demons, no more evil ghosts, only… a peaceful and beautiful life.

We work at sunrise and rest at sunset… we too…

You are not as strong as me, but you seem to be smarter than me. I will work hard to become stronger, integrate more powers, and then together…”

The stupid wife murmured and fell asleep.

Ning Xuan looked at her, his gaze sweeping to the window, and thought to himself: That’s right…

If he hadn’t experienced the nightmare world, if he was a capable martial artist born into a noble family, then maybe he would have the same thoughts as his stupid wife.

Unfortunately, he was not.

He looked out the window in a daze for a while, his gaze unable to penetrate the sky outside.

‘Let’s begin. I’ve collected enough information on the stupid wife, it’s enough.’

The next moment, a line of information appeared:

[Lu Xuezhi]

[Heavenly Demon Life Attribute, Human Family (Constitution): 16]

[Control Technique 1: Five Poisons Great Python Bite: A hundred snakes become one python, hidden fangs in the shadows, locking the throat and stealing the breath]

[Control Technique 2: Five Poisons Scorpion Tail Hang: Hanging a thousand jun upside down, piercing the heart and marrow, taking a life without a sound]

[Control Technique 3: Lingyan Small Group Art]

Then, another line of information appeared:

[Heavenly Demon Record: Perceive that the Heavenly Demon has arrived, follow its essence and blood, observe the root of its life and nature, forcibly refine the record. If the refinement fails, the body and dao will be destroyed. If the refinement succeeds, it can be used for one’s own purposes.]

[Refine the record?]

‘Yes.’

[One of Twenty]

Swamp, boat house.

The black-haired girl in the scarlet robe, her long legs like a spear, her figure like the wind, came stabbing straight at him.

But halfway there, she seemed to have crashed into a spider’s web, and her speed slowed down a lot.

When she reached Ning Xuan, Ning Xuan slapped with his right hand.

Thud!

The girl’s tiptoe was slapped away.

But her figure was incredibly agile. The slapped-away long leg swung in an arc in the air, and like a poisonous snake turning its head, it quickly brushed against Ning Xuan’s arm, then forward, coiling and winding, attaching to Ning Xuan’s right arm. Then, like a great python coiling, her leg exerted force inch by inch, and her tiptoe quickly moved forward. In a moment, it reached Ning Xuan’s eyes, and her tiptoe stabbed, like a snake bite.

Ning Xuan smiled.

Nightmare Lu Xuezhi’s tiptoe touched his neck, but it could not move forward another inch.

Her whole body seemed to be held by countless spider webs, and she was completely stiff, maintaining the posture of kicking, unable to move.

“What evil magic is this?”

“Thousand Silk Play.” Ning Xuan explained patiently as he pulled out his arm, “I only used this power to restrain you, not to harm you, because we still have to have fun.

My constitution is not as good as yours, but this technique is far superior to yours. In addition, you haven’t used your real killing move yet, so… you are now under my control.

Actually, if I wanted to kill you, I would have had a chance at the beginning when you hadn’t used your full strength. A thousand silks coming out at once, it’s impossible to defend against. As long as you didn’t fully defend against me at the beginning, you would have been successfully ambushed by me. Even if you didn’t die immediately, you would have been seriously injured, and then you would not be my opponent.

The Thousand Silk Play Power is far superior to the Thousand Silk Web Power. Although the power is the same, the control is too different.

I am weaker than you, but you can still be killed by me… you, why are you still not using your full strength when you are fighting here?

Facing a strange opponent, what are you still probing for?”

“You’re actually reminding your enemy? Stupid!” Nightmare Lu Xuezhi’s expression was icy as she preemptively spat out the word “stupid.” Then, with a delicate shout, the power Ning Xuan had bound around her body was completely shaken off. She let out a roar like a lioness, and as her figure rose and fell, it transformed into dozens, nearly a hundred, fixed figures. These figures suddenly merged into one.

The air rumbled and exploded, and a thunderclap sounded on a clear day.

The killing long leg carried a huge momentum as it came from afar.

Ning Xuan was already prepared. He stood with his hands behind his back, motionless.

It wasn’t that he was pretending, but that the execution of the “spider” power required the “spider” at the center of the web to remain still, so that it could control all its power with all its heart. Otherwise, it couldn’t be controlled.

And this was also one of the weaknesses of “spider.”

It required stillness, and less movement.

The thousand-silk power had already emerged from the ground in an instant.

Nightmare Lu Xuezhi had kicked with her right leg, so the thousand-silk power had entangled her left foot, one entanglement after another. The places it entangled were her weakest points. These places were all told to Ning Xuan by Lu Xuezhi herself. Otherwise, Ning Xuan would not have been so successful at this time.

“Ah!!”

Nightmare Lu Xuezhi immediately performed a split for Ning Xuan. Her long legs were stretched straight and split in front of Ning Xuan.

Ning Xuan looked down at her and asked, “Stupid wife, are you alright?”

Nightmare Lu Xuezhi was burning with anger. She scolded, “You’re the stupid one,” and then her figure spun, like a red python spinning. With a coil and a wrap, she kicked out with a “boom” in the air.

After several times, she had keenly perceived the power used by the other party, and had also guessed the weakness of the other party’s power, which was: it needed a connection to transmit power.

So, she rose into the air.

Her figure changed, and then was fixed as one.

Ning Xuan recognized the power of this force, but he had long heard Lu Xuezhi personally analyze the backhand and details of this kick.

At this time, the other party was in the air, and his Thousand Silk Play Power was broken. He took a step back from the web, and held up his hands with the Swallow’s Cry Power.

Boom!!

There was no accident.

His hands were in severe pain, and they were directly numb. The posture of holding them up also separated.

A cold smile flashed at the corner of nightmare Lu Xuezhi’s lips. The powerful and slender thigh’s momentum did not decrease, and it flexibly turned in the air.

Her figure twisted and spun, forming a spindle-like, rapidly rotating, blurry red shadow in the sky. The long leg in the air also became a violent and unpredictable long whip, whipping down towards Ning Xuan’s head!

The air exploded, and a whirlwind suddenly blew around. The deck of the boat house suddenly cracked with a “crack,” and the swamp water around suddenly split into two, showing a posture of a torrent splitting into two!

Above the long leg was Lu Xuezhi’s cold and cruel, ruthless gaze.

It was the gaze of looking at a dead person.

The next moment…

“Ah!!!”

Boom!

Lu Xuezhi suddenly maintained her original posture, was fixed in mid-air, and then fell down with a thud.

Her body was entangled with ghost shadows at some point.

Confined ghost shadows.

“You… what evil magic did you use again?” Lu Xuezhi asked resentfully.

Ning Xuan squatted in front of her and explained, “This is called a ghost seal. It is a power that only a third-grade Taiyin ghost possesses. Although I am only a second-grade martial artist, but… I am also a third-grade ghost cultivator, just enough to suppress you. Now you can’t move again.”

Afterwards, Ning Xuan used Lu Xuezhi to practice his moves, feed her moves, and test his various powers in order to become proficient.

Finally, when he felt that there was nothing left to practice, he directly ended the nightmare.

He woke up.

It was still snowing outside the house.

Miss Lu was still sleeping in his arms.

And the refining was naturally successful.

The next morning, the three of them each found a place to cultivate.

Because Miss Lu and Xiao Jie had both chosen the “toad” art, and the former intended to guide the latter, they went to comprehend it together.

Ning Xuan, on the other hand, found a remote grassy area, and with a touch of the light barrier, he propped up an invisible light film, and then summoned the [Lu Xuezhi] Heavenly Demon Record with his mind.

His constitution instantly changed from “12.4” to “19.999 (22.6).”

Lu Xuezhi was not a third-grade after all, and she was not counter-possessed by Ning Xuan, so her power was stuck at the edge of the third-grade again.

But it didn’t matter…

This time, Ning Xuan had a third-grade cultivation method.

In the blink of an eye, another seven days passed.

Ning Xuan’s constitution had changed from “12.4” to “16.” At the same time, he had mastered Lu Xuezhi’s Great Python Bite Power and Scorpion Tail Hang Power. In addition, with the nightly exchanges between the two at the bedside, and knowing everything, Ning Xuan had basically mastered the power methods of the “snake” and “scorpion” arts. As for “toad,” he had also asked about seven or eight out of ten, and even had Lu Xuezhi write it down. But to connect and master it, he still needed to spend a lot of time.

On this day, in the evening.

The three of them finished their cultivation and returned to the boat house.

The boat house was a bit lively today.

Usually, Madam Zhao had already finished dinner, but at this time, she was still cooking, and there was a beautiful woman helping by the side.

In the house, besides Madam Zhao, the Qin family girls, and the previous Steward Zhao, there were actually many outsiders, men and women, all looking young.

Ning Xuan looked closely, and they didn’t look like strangers, but rather neighbors.

These days, he had been in and out, and he had naturally observed the surrounding environment.

Xiao Jie skillfully joined the “chatting circle.” It seemed that she was quite familiar with these people.

Lu Xuezhi sat silently to the side.

Soon, Xiao Jie pulled the two of them over.

Everyone saluted one after another, saying things like “General Ning and General Lu are truly young and promising.”

After the pleasantries were over, they started talking about business, which was also the reason for today’s dinner party.

Ning Xuan listened silently.

“Is Great General Qin alright? My husband went out with him.”

“Isn’t that right? My family is the same.”

“That’s good. If it weren’t for this, we wouldn’t have been able to taste Sister-in-law Zhao’s cooking. When Great General Qin came, he said that we should all come to sister-in-law’s house for a free meal tonight.”

Madam Zhao’s laughter came from the kitchen, “You can come at any time.”

In the main hall of the boat house, the topic continued.

“Yesterday, I heard that news came from the demon side, saying that they were going to gather at a place called the Shanmo Sect’s palace nearby to discuss important matters. Then, today, Great General Qin took many people out.”

Suddenly, a person leaned over and asked, “General Ning, this matter is also related to you. It is said that the demon side has specially invited you and General Lu.”

Ning Xuan was stunned for a moment and said, “My wife and I won’t go to this kind of thing, right?”

Another person said, “You have to go. You can even be considered the protagonists of this gathering. Many future plans will need to be executed through you.”

Ning Xuan suddenly understood, and said “oh, oh” repeatedly, “So that’s how it is.”

Someone beside him echoed, “That’s right. My old man said that it took a lot of effort for you and General Lu to come here. You are the connection between many of us here, as well as the demons and the Son of Heaven, and the imperial court. So, this gathering can be said to be held for you.”

Ning Xuan continued to play dumb and said, “That’s really important.”

Changing the topic, he asked again, “Then, what did Great General Qin take so many people out for today?”

As soon as this question was asked, the room suddenly became quiet.

After a long time, a person lowered his voice and said, “When Great General Qin came to my house, he was holding a bag of Bodhisattva statues. Those Bodhisattva statues were very exquisite, and they were all made of the most top-grade precious jade. I could smell the strong incense aura on them from a distance.

Then, Great General Qin told my husband that he had to gather all the people of the Five Poisons Sect, starting from the surrender faction, and one by one, urinate on these Bodhisattva statues.”

“Huh?”

Someone was immediately stunned.

Then someone else laughed.

Ning Xuan also laughed along.

However, from just a few words and a little idle chat, he already knew what was happening outside.

Qin Shan Jun was indeed Qin Shan Jun. After all, he had been a great general, and he was full of courage.

Before, he had used the matter of “his wife and him being drugged” to hold on to the other party, and later, he didn’t know how the other party had muddled through it. Now, he had directly laid his cards on the table.

The Bodhisattva statues he had brought must be the most revered Bodhisattva statues by the believers.

He knew that the Shanmo Sect was a sect of demons, and he also knew that the hunchbacked mountain man was just a name that the demons had falsely assumed. The real root was in the Bodhisattvas of the Buddhist country.

However, he didn’t know what the structure of the Buddhist country was, so he had brought out all the Bodhisattva statues he could collect.

With so many Bodhisattva statues, there must be some related to the Shanmo Sect.

He wanted everyone to urinate on them, which was to have everyone prove their identity.

And the demon believers would definitely be unwilling.

Even if they were forced, they would show some clues.

‘Great General Qin’s move is almost like pulling the rug out from under someone’s feet, and it’s equivalent to forcing the palace. I’m afraid it’s going to be chaotic.’ A trace of caution flashed in Ning Xuan’s pupils.

If he had been guessing before, and felt that there was a sixty to seventy percent possibility, then after hearing about this “gathering at the Shanmo Sect’s palace, and he and Lu Xuezhi were also invited, and could even be said to be the protagonists,” then his “sixty to seventy percent” had been raised to “eighty to ninety percent.” The remaining ten to twenty percent was luck and accident.

However, he would not be lucky, nor would he hope for an accident.

That day, the reason why he and Lu Xuezhi were poisoned was because the demon believers in the Five Poisons Sect wanted to take them away, first go to the Shanmo Sect for a trip, let them become believers, and then send them back to the Five Poisons Sect.

Now, this gathering of the Shanmo Sect was not only targeting him and Lu Xuezhi, but also all the moderates who were going to the Shanmo Sect.

This was to begin to openly devour the Five Poisons Sect, and turn this ancient martial arts sect of another world into a part of themselves, and a bridgehead for their attack on another world.

They were chatting over there, and as Lu Xuezhi listened, she finally got a taste of it.

She suddenly began to think: if the Five Poisons Sect really had demon believers, then the person who had intercepted and modified the letter in the name of her master, wouldn’t that be a demon believer?

Ning Xuan’s ears had “flown” to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, a rapid “chop, chop, chop” sound was coming.

Madam Zhao was praising, “Miss Yuan, you have also practiced this centipede power. You should be a second-grade, right?”

The beautiful woman who was helping was holding a kitchen knife in each hand, and was rapidly chopping a very hard large bone at a speed like a shadow. Hearing Madam Zhao’s praise, she smiled helplessly and said, “I have practiced it, but I am still far from the second-grade. There are not many second-grade beasts here, and second-grade beast meat is even rarer. Even if I get it, the meat is still poisonous. To remove the poison to the greatest extent, I heard that either a second-grade martial artist has to spend a lot of effort to cook it, or I have to rely on the Heavenly Masters outside to refine pills with dragon fire.”

As she spoke, the beautiful woman sighed lightly, and her gaze swept to the back, “It’s still the generals who are good… Aiya!!”

Suddenly, the beautiful woman called “Miss Yuan” exclaimed.

She felt her tiger’s mouth go numb, and the chopping knife bounced back heavily. After it bounced back, it happened to cut her finger.

The blade of the knife still had her power on it. At this time, it directly cut a wound on her finger, and blood dripped down.

Thud.

The blood dripped onto the chopping board.

Madam Zhao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stopped and said, “Miss Yuan, are you alright?”

The beautiful woman looked at her hand in astonishment and said, “I might have been distracted. How could I make this kind of mistake?”

Seeing that she was fine, Madam Zhao let out a sigh of relief and said, “Alright, alright, Miss Yuan, you go and rest on the side. I can handle the kitchen here by myself.”

At this time, a figure walked in from the outside, took the knife, and said, “Sister-in-law, let me help.”

The beautiful woman said in astonishment, “General Ning?”

Madam Zhao also looked at him in surprise.

Ning Xuan said, “I’ll be the assistant.”

As he spoke, he tied on an apron in a proper manner and picked up the knife.

He had heard that the beautiful woman had “centipede power,” so he had quietly used the Thousand Silk Play Power to slightly deviate her palm, causing this scene.

And now, his hand had already touched the drop of blood.

Information appeared:

[Yuan Xiaoye]

[Heavenly Demon Life Attribute, Human Family (Constitution): 9]

[Control Technique 1: Five Poisons Hundred Centipede Hand: A hundred feet and a hundred hands, a heavenly maiden scattering flowers, needles falling like rain]

Alright.

All five powers were ready.
