Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“I’ve long heard that there’s a profligate son in the Teng Clan. He relied on his clan’s power to become a Mist Patrol Envoy. In fact, he’s rash and stupid. I’ve always thought that this was just a rumor. After all, that’s the Teng Clan. How could they nurture such an heir?
“I didn’t expect you to be even worse.”
Young Master Teng’s face suddenly turned purple. He said angrily, “You’re courting death!”
However, just as he took two steps, his body suddenly trembled. A ball of black gas appeared on his face. He could not stand anymore and swayed.
“Young Master!”
“Young Master, are you alright?”
The other five people quickly came up to support him, but to their surprise, a cloud of black smoke appeared on their faces, and their bodies swayed.
“Poison! You poisoned us! Impossible! What poison! When did you poison us?!”
The force of the Yellow Grade Noble Realm was enough to isolate most of the poison. Unless one stayed in a poisonous environment for a long time and swallowed a large amount of poison, they wouldn’t be easily poisoned.
However, if it was a poisonous environment, it was impossible for them not to notice it!
The few of them circulated their strength, but they could not resist at all. In fact, their limbs were weak and they could not stand steadily.
“Don’t waste your energy. This poison is colorless and tasteless, but its toxicity is extremely strong. Not to mention a mere Yellow Grade Noble Realm cultivator like you, even a Black Grade Noble Realm cultivator will not be able to move for a while after being hit.”
Young Master Teng was furious. “Give me the antidote!”
However, it affected his movements and he fell to the ground, including the five people beside him.
Cheng Yu’er let out a long sigh and said, “The Teng Clan is a large clan in District B2. Unless I have no choice, 1 really don’t want to make a mortal enemy. There are a total of six districts. Why do you have to force me?”
Young Master Teng circulated his strength several times, but he was actually unable to succeed. A wisp of fear clearly appeared on his face, and he completely panicked. “Cheng Yu’er! Since you know that I’m a member of the Teng Clan, you can’t kill me! If you kill me, you’ll definitely die!”
“I know that too. But you forced me to this point, 1 really have no choice…”
Cheng Yu’er suddenly turned to look at Zhao Er and the other two and said faintly, “The three of you heard something you shouldn’t have…”
Zhao Er and the other two were shocked. They turned around and jumped down from the roof.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yu’er did not chase after the three of them. Instead, she stood there quietly, thinking about something.
Suddenly, three extremely soft muffled sounds came from below the villa.
Cheng Yu’er’s eyes suddenly lit up as she looked down at the villa.
“You’re finally willing to appear…”
As if a breeze had blown past, a figure in black suddenly stood upright on the roof.
Before she could say anything, she saw that person suddenly strike out with his palm. A wind and lightning suddenly exploded. A dazzling lightning wind blew past, actually destroying the lush and blooming flowers in the corner of the roof!
The vase splashed and crackled, turning into ashes on the ground.
Cheng Yu’er’s pupils constricted violently, and her heart seemed to have been grabbed. Her scalp suddenly went numb.
Impossible!
He was actually at the Black Grade Noble Realm!
Moreover, he saw through her poison the moment he came up!
Not only that, after that figure appeared, two other figures in similar clothes also stood on the roof. From their auras, they were also at the Yellow Grade Noble Realm!
Cheng Yu’er’s hands and feet were slightly cold. She forced herself to calm down and said in a low voice, “Who are you!”
The Black Grade Noble Realm cultivator was a man in his thirties. He had an ordinary appearance, but there was the sound of rumbling thunder in his palm.
His voice was hoarse and as cold as a knife. “Hand over what I want.”
Cheng Yu’er’s limbs tensed up as she forced a smile and said, “1 believe you and this Young Master Teng want the same thing, right? Then who should I give it to?”
The Black Grade Noble Realm cultivator frowned slightly and suddenly struck out with his palm. “Don’t play tricks!”
Cheng Yu’er’s pupils suddenly constricted, and she exerted all her strength to resist. However, she was electrocuted by the power of lightning until her entire body went numb. Then, a copious amount of strength attacked her, and the few pellets in her palm directly left her hand. Her body was suddenly sent flying, and she happened to fall into the pink cloth-wrapped awning.
She felt a sweetness in her throat and vomited a mouthful of blood, dyeing the veil on her face red. However, she felt that she had bumped into an extremely hard thing that was like a steel plate and iron pillar. She bounced back and fell to the ground.
However, she had clearly seen just now that the place where she had collided behind her was clearly still quite a distance away from the standing wooden pillar!
It was as if she had bumped into something out of thin air…
‘Bloody hell!’
A trace of absurdity and strangeness flashed in Cheng Yu’er’s heart, but she had no time to think about it because the Black Grade Noble Realm man spoke again. “Hand over what I want. You still have a chance to live.”
Cheng Yu’er wiped the blood from her lips and pushed herself up. She smiled sadly. “Hand over what? Haven’t you been following us? Then you should know that Old Cheng was already dead when 1 found him! He didn’t give me anything!”
“What!”
Young Master Teng, who was lying on the ground, was stunned. “Who is he following? You?”
“It’s us.” Cheng Yu’er’s eyes were filled with mockery. “Why do you think I haven’t shaken you off for so long? It’s precisely because someone has been secretly giving you information that I’ve been exposed!”
“Impossible!” Young Master Teng didn’t believe it.
As for the ordinary-looking man, he clapped his hands lightly. “Impressive. 1 thought I did it extremely secretly. How did you discover it?”
Cheng Yu’er chuckled. “It’s nothing. It’s just that no matter how I think about it, 1 can’t understand how he could discover me every time despite his lack of intelligence. Then, I think of how Old Cheng died for no reason. It’s not difficult to guess that someone is plotting behind the scenes!”
She stared at the man and said, “Old Cheng only steals from the dead. He will never steal from the living! The thing that Young Master Teng wants must have been stolen by you and you framed Old Cheng!”
The ordinary man praised again, “Impressive, impressive.”
He reached into his pocket and took out a scroll. “You’re right except one thing.
You don’t realize how important your master is.”
“As expected, you killed Old Cheng…”
At the same time that Cheng Yu’er’s eyes were burning with anger, there was also a faint layer of heaviness. She had indeed not expected that Old Cheng, who was just a small tomb raider, would actually cause such a huge trouble.
“He didn’t have to die. Unfortunately, a lowly thief actually dared to reject my master’s request. When he had the thought of rejection, he should die!”
The man seemed to be talking about something insignificant.
“It’s actually such an insignificant reason…”
Cheng Yu’er smiled sadly, but it also seemed to be a relief.
Suddenly, she said, “Young Master Teng, since this person dares to appear, it’s obvious that he plans to silence us. Are you planning to just lie on the ground like this?”
The Black Grade Noble Realm expert raised his eyes slightly and looked at Young Master Teng’s group. His eyes narrowed slightly as he praised, “What a good scheme.”
Young Master Teng’s expression instantly darkened. Seeing that he had been discovered, he had no choice but to prop himself up.
The six people behind him also stood up.
He stared at the Black Grade Noble Realm. “My schemes can’t compare to your judgment.”
Unexpectedly, the Black Grade Noble Realm expert looked at him speechlessly and said, “Who said anything about you?”
Young Master Teng instantly froze.
The Black Grade man looked at Cheng Yu’er and said seriously, “In the hidden path downstairs, you planted the blue flowers on the left and right, right? Although I can’t remember their name, I once saw them at an exhibition.
“It’s said that it has two varieties, blue and red. They’re both precious ancient plants that are extremely difficult to survive. If the two are separated, they’re ordinary.
“However, if someone breathes in the fragrance of one flower for a long time and then breathes in the fragrance of the other flower, even if it’s just one breath, the two layers of fragrance will condense into a colorless and odorless poison!
“I originally thought that this poison would be fatal, but from the looks of it, this poison will only temporarily paralyze a person’s body and quickly dissipate.
“So, on the surface, you seem to want to poison Young Master Teng, but in reality, you want to use this opportunity to lure me out? Then, you will join forces with Young Master Teng and the others to deal with me?
“Are you so sure that I will appear?”
