fraid of that soul-devouring, bone-shattering hand. This time, signing it back at most would be getting beaten to death by his father, but if he doesn't sign, it's worse than death.Since there are no...In the inn, Li Miaozhen, Hua Sijin, Nangong Shangyuan, and Feng Manlou were gathered in a spacious room.

After returning last night, they have been waiting in the room ever since. On the surface, they seem calm, but inwardly, they are extremely anxious.

They have been fasting for some time, though as peak Mahayana experts, this state wouldn't bother them even if it lasted for ten or eight days. However, being hungry is still rather uncomfortable.

Nangong Shangyuan said, "I haven't seen his shadow from last night to now. Do you guys think that kid is too scared to come"

To prevent information leaks, the four people now communicate using telepathy.

It's possible.

Hua Si Jin said, "He knows that poisoning us can only succeed once, it's impossible to succeed a second time."

If he didn't use poison, with his level of cultivation, he wouldn't even be enough for us to slap him once. How could he possibly dare to come

Li Miaozhen shook her head. "I don't agree with you. I think since that kid dared to brag before, he would definitely come here."

"Hopefully, otherwise he'll just keep hiding at Xuan Tian Men, and we won't be able to make a move."

Feng Manlou said, "This time just happens to be a good opportunity. As long as we catch him, all the treasures on his body will belong to us."

"No, no one put incense in the room."

A few people were talking and all of them smelled a faint fragrance. It was very light and pleasant.

They followed the scent and saw that a small bronze incense burner had appeared in the corner of the room at some point. It looked very exquisite.

And at this moment, a thin green incense was burning in the censer, releasing pale green smoke.

"This... wasn't this yours"

Li Miaozhen's expression suddenly changed, "Quickly hold your breath, that kid is here."

In the middle of their conversation, she closed her breath first.

Others were also on edge, hastily closing their six senses. Nangong Shangyuan, being closest to the incense burner, reached out and extinguished the incense stick.

"Now I realize, it's too late."

As a soft voice echoed, Ye Bufan's figure suddenly appeared in the room.

He looked at Li Miaozhen and smiled faintly: "Elder Great is truly my confidant, knowing I would definitely come."

Then he turned his head to look at Feng Manlou: "One shouldn't be too greedy, don't you know that You've been eyeing my treasures all the time, but unfortunately, you don't have the ability to take them."

"Arrogant brat, today this old man will surely make sure you have no return."

Feng Manlou circulated his true energy, confirming that his cultivation level was still intact. His heart immediately felt much steadier.

Hua Si Jin followed up with, "That's right, if you're smart, just kowtow and confess your crimes then hand over all your treasures. Perhaps you can keep a sliver of life, otherwise..."

"Alright, enough talk. I wouldn't be here if I was afraid of you."

Ye Bufan waved his hand and directly interrupted him.

“I already gave you a chance yesterday, to get out of the Holy Dragon Empire's imperial city quickly, but you didn't listen. When you meet the King of Hell, don't blame me.”

He is not a bloodthirsty person, and he does not want to make things too difficult for these nine major sects, so yesterday he gave them a chance and did not directly kill them.

These people just don't know how to cherish what they have, so it's their own fault for being ruthless.

These people are highly skilled. If we wait for them to make a move, it will be a big problem. For myself and for the people around me, I have to solve these problems.

None of the people present knew any of this; they still held onto the mindset that I was a strong individual.

As he spoke, he struck out with a palm. The guy was crafty and shrewd; despite his brash words, he was still very cautious.

Directly using all his strength, a huge palm formed from true essence grasped at it.

The rest of them didn't move, standing warily around the perimeter, blocking off all escape routes.

What surprised them was that Ye Bufan showed no signs of wanting to escape, not even resisting. He just stood there quietly.

"What's going on Is this kid scared out of his wits"

Several people showed puzzled expressions, and even Nangong Shangyuan was confused.

And at that moment, a searing pain suddenly ripped through his chest, followed by a mouthful of black blood spurting out.

This was only the beginning; afterward, black blood oozed from his eyes, nose, and mouth.

Then, with a roll of his eyes, he collapsed to the ground with a thud, blood streaming from his seven orifices.

Nan Gong Shangyuan's eyes widened in disbelief, clearly unwilling to die. Until the very end, he remained clueless about how he had been poisoned.

And just then, a wisp of primordial spirit spilled out from the Dantian.

For someone like him, as long as his soul remains, there's still a chance to live again.

To everyone's astonishment, Nangong Shangyuan's primordial spirit was also as black as ink.

It just burst out moments ago with a loud bang and vanished instantly into the air, leaving behind only a pungent stench.

“That…”

Li Miaozhen was stunned, Hua Sijin was stunned, Feng Manlou was stunned.

As the pinnacle powerhouses of Mahayana, they were undoubtedly well-versed and experienced, but such a powerful poison was something they had never encountered before. It could even poison a person's soul.

What was most eerie was that they were always on guard, completely unaware of how the other party had poisoned them.

As for the just-smoked qingxiang, don't even say it doesn't look poisonous; even if it were poisonous, it wouldn't take effect this quickly.

Ye Bufan clapped his hands and looked at the few people with a playful smile: "What's wrong Didn't you all seem pretty arrogant just now Why aren't you speaking up now"

"You... how did you do that"

Feng Manlou said nervously, "What kind of poison is this And when did you put it on us We have no idea."

"The Immortal Physician's poison, who among you can possibly defend against it"

As I said before, medicine is part of my strength, and yours in this area is clearly lacking.

Ye Bufan glanced at the several people with disdain in his eyes.

"Do you think that last time, after recovering your cultivation base from the toxin, it was over The poison I used wouldn't be so simple. To tell you the truth, this is a mixed poison."

The last time I made your cultivation vanish for an hour was with a substance called Echó Powder. Unless there are unforeseen circumstances, this drug should wear off in about an hour.

If at this time, it is combined with a dose of Soul-Breaking Herb, it will immediately become the even more powerful Bone-Eroding Soul-Shattering Powder.

Originally, being poisoned this way could still be survivable, but the condition was not to recklessly use one's true qi. Otherwise, one would immediately bleed from all seven orifices and die, not even saving one's soul.

Li Miaozhen cried out, "Was that incense stick you just lit soul-breaking grass"

"You got it right, but there's no reward."

Ye Bufan sneered, "That's Qingxiang refined from Duanhuncao. Just smelling a trace of it will take effect immediately."

"This…"

Several people's faces turned ashen. Such a bizarre and insidious poisoning method was something they had never heard of or seen before in their lives.

Thinking of Nangong Shangyuan's tragic death just now, Hua Sijin swallowed hard, "Ye Bufan, there isn't much hatred between us. How about you let me go this time"

I swear I will leave the Holy Dragon Empire's imperial city immediately and never be your enemy again!nd a tall, thin man in a yellow robe walked out.This person looks ordinary and peaceful on the surface, but their whole body exudes an endless sense of pressure."I've seen the Immortal King!"The young...
