In the blink of an eye, the sun had set.
At this moment, Wang Yang led everyone away from Daming Temple and returned to the inn in Jiangdu City.
"Young master, where shall we go tomorrow?"
Zhao Min smiled and looked at Wang Yang, asking a question. Upon hearing this, the others also looked at Wang Yang.
Wang Yang smiled calmly and replied:
"Let's set off from Jiangdu City tomorrow! The Tang Dynasty has a vast territory, and there are plenty of places to go."
At this point, he turned his gaze to Kou Zhong:
"Of course, we'll still need Brother Kou to be our guide."
Upon hearing this, Kou Zhong quickly nodded and replied:
"Alliance Leader Wang, you flatter me. It is my honor to guide you all."
Earlier, when he saw Wang Yang kill Zhao Deyan and Fu Cailin outside Daming Temple, Kou Zhong was already in awe of Wang Yang.
After all, both Zhao Deyan and Fu Cailin were notorious figures in the martial arts world of the Tang Dynasty.
But Wang Yang killed him with ease.
Before meeting Wang Yang, Kou Zhong was hiding in the martial arts world, avoiding being hunted down by various groups.
Now that's good, being able to travel with Wang Yang means at least there's no need to worry about safety.
"If only we could find Ziling, and have him follow Alliance Leader Wang, then no one could harm us."
Kou Zhong muttered to himself, thinking of his good brother Xu Ziling.
After all, Xu Ziling, like him, also possessed the secret of immortality.
Once the matter is exposed, his situation will inevitably become very dangerous.
"Since Alliance Leader Wang has asked me to be their guide and lead them on a tour of the Tang Dynasty, I will first take them to the places where Ziling might be."
With this in mind, Kou Zhong immediately made up his mind.
They thought of lending the car to Wang Yang and the others as a guide so they could find Xu Ziling as well.
Before long, the food and wine were served, and Wang Yang and the others began to eat and drink.
The four women, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, served Wang Yang with utmost attentiveness, pouring him wine and serving him food.
When Zhou Zhiruo and other beauties witnessed this scene, they were immediately consumed by jealousy.
Before we knew it, we had drunk several rounds of wine.
Suddenly, Zhou Botong froze, and quickly looked at Wang Yang:
"Brother Wang, something's not right! There's something wrong with this wine!!"
As soon as Zhou Botong uttered these words, Yang Xiao and the others were all taken aback and quickly put down their wine cups.
Wang Yang remained calm and nodded slightly, saying:
"There is a problem."
Upon receiving Wang Yang's reply, Zhou Botong and the others were all stunned.
After a brief silence, Fan Yao spoke:
"Old rascal, is there something wrong with this wine?"
Zhou Botong didn't delay and replied directly:
“Right Envoy Fan, you…you try using your internal energy.”
Upon hearing what Zhou Botong said, Fan Yao immediately began to circulate his internal energy.
However, as soon as he raised his hand to circulate his power, a look of pain appeared on his face.
"No! As soon as I circulate my internal energy, I... I feel pain all over my body! We've been poisoned!"
Fan Yao said with a pained expression.
Hearing this, Yang Xiao and the others were all surprised and then tried it out themselves.
As a result, just like Fan Yao, they all felt pain all over their bodies as soon as they started to circulate their energy.
How could that be?
Who poisoned it?
"How despicable!"
"..."
Everyone looked pained, and they were all indignant.
Unexpectedly, someone would tamper with the drinks.
In contrast, Wang Yang appeared calm and composed, seemingly unmoved by anything.
"Brother Wang, we've all been poisoned, why aren't you showing any reaction?"
"Did you just find out there was something wrong with the drinks, or did you notice it from the beginning?"
Zhou Botong clutched his stomach and stared straight at Wang Yang.
Wang Yang smiled calmly and replied:
"I knew the drinks had been spiked as soon as they were served."
"ah?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard Wang Yang's answer.
Startled, Yang Xiao asked, puzzled:
"Alliance Leader, since you knew back then that the drinks had been tampered with, why didn't you tell us?"
Before Wang Yang could reply, Zhao Min suddenly thought of something and interjected:
"Left Envoy Yang, the reason why the young master kept it from us is that he wanted to lure the snake out of its hole."
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yang did not deny anything, but instead smiled meaningfully.
Just then, a commotion came from outside the inn.
"Hahaha!"
Then someone burst into unrestrained laughter.
Then, a gust of wind swept by.
When they looked again, they saw a figure had already flown into the inn.
The newcomer was dressed as a scholar, with a slender build. Who else could he be but Xi Ying, the successor of the Dao of Extinction of Emotions?
Upon seeing this, everyone turned to look at the court seat in unison.
"Did you poison him?"
Yang Xiao asked in a deep voice, his face cold and stern.
Xi Ying readily agreed, nodding and saying:
"That's right, I put a colorless and odorless poison in the drink."
"However, please rest assured, this poison is not fatal; it will only temporarily prevent you from using your internal energy."
Hearing what Xi Ying said, Yang Xiao and the others were filled with hatred.
"How awful!"
"They actually poisoned the drinks! How despicable and shameless!"
"..."
The crowd erupted in shouts and curses.
Xi Ying paid no attention to this. He came from the Demonic Sect and didn't care about these insults.
At this moment, Wang Yang picked up his wine cup, drank a cup of wine, and then looked towards Xi Ying:
"Who are you? You've been secretly following me all this way. Are you here for Brother Kou?"
As he said this, Wang Yang glanced at Kou Zhong.
"Um?"
Upon hearing Wang Yang's words, Xi Ying was taken aback and uttered a soft, hesitant sound:
"You knew I'd been secretly following you the whole time?"
Wang Yang smiled calmly and said:
“That’s right, I spotted you outside Daming Temple.”
Upon hearing Wang Yang's words, Yang Xiao and the others were all taken aback, and at the same time, they remembered.
When Wang Yang entered Daming Temple during the day, he suddenly stopped.
It was probably around that time that Wang Yang became aware of Xi Ying's presence.
After a brief recollection, everyone immediately understood and felt even greater admiration for Wang Yang.
After a slight pause, Xi Ying narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice:
"I have come here only to take Kou Zhong away."
As he spoke, Xi Ying turned his gaze toward Kou Zhong.
Upon receiving Xi Ying's gaze, Kou Zhong looked bewildered and lost.
Previously, he thought that he should be safe as long as he was with Wang Yang and the others.
Who would have thought that so little time had passed before they fell into a trap?
Right now, everyone is poisoned and unable to circulate their internal energy. Wouldn't it be easy for Xi Ying to take him away?
The more Kou Zhong thought about it, the more flustered he became, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.
Seeing this, Xi Ying gave a sinister smile and continued:
"Kou Zhong, come with me!"
"As long as you obediently listen to me and hand over the Longevity Formula, I, the Heavenly Lord, promise you that I will spare your life!"
Upon hearing this, Kou Zhong was stunned, his face filled with bewilderment.
Just then, Wang Yang suddenly spoke up:
"So it is the successor of the Dao of Extinguishing Emotions, Heavenly Lord Xi Ying."
"You want to take Kou Zhong away? Have you asked for my permission, Alliance Leader?"
