Inn lobby.

The appearance of Wei Ping immediately dissipated most of the tense atmosphere here.

His identity represents the nine major temples.

Against the backdrop of such a behemoth, it would be like throwing an egg against a rock for the academic institutions to contend with it!

"Such a sumptuous banquet is a waste."

Wei Ping looked at the mess on the ground and shook his head, "It seems I won't have a good time."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the door of the inn. The moment he passed through the light curtain of the isolating formation, the sounds from the outside world suddenly came in.

This silent action broke the formation, and it made Jiang Du and the bald old man look slightly gloomy.

Even if the two of them had reached the level of a half-step saint, without the formation jade slips, they would have to use brute force to break through.

From this we can see that Wei Ping’s strength is definitely far beyond theirs!

"On behalf of Tianyan Academy, I would like to thank Palace Master Jiang for hosting today's celebration banquet."

Ying Yuanzi looked calm as he looked at Jiang Du and the others and said coldly, "We will return the gift of thanks to Wuling Academy another day!"

After saying this, he waved his sleeves and led Lin Hao and the others directly to the backyard of the inn.

At this point, the feud between Tianyan Academy and Wuling Academy has been completely settled!

"Brother Jiang, are we just going to let them get away like this?"

The bald old man frowned and said unwillingly.

"It's okay. There's a long way to go. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Jiang Du stared at the backs of Lin Hao and others as they left with cold eyes, and said gloomily.

Wei Ping's appearance this time seemed unintentional, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was clearly standing up for Tianyan Academy.

If they continue to be relentless today and anger this important figure of the palace sect, it will not be beneficial for them.

"Yes, especially that Lin Hao. This boy must not be allowed to stay!"

Hearing this, the bald old man took a deep breath and said with resentment on his face.

Lin Hao's ears twitched slightly, listening to the voice behind him, and his originally relieved mood changed his mind.

When I stepped out of the inn, two tiny black shadows quietly flashed out...

"Brother Jiang, today is really a disappointment. We will discuss it another day. Goodbye."

The bald old man was obviously quite unhappy with Wei Ping's obstruction.

Buzz——!

However, just as he was about to leave, the isolation formation that had disappeared in the lobby of the inn suddenly reappeared.

Any movement from the outside world is completely isolated.

"What's going on?!"

Everyone in Wuling Academy was shocked by the sudden strange scene.

"Who activated the isolation formation?"

There was a chill in Jiang Du's eyes as he glanced at everyone and shouted coldly.

"Your Excellency, we don't have any."

The crowd present immediately shook their heads.

The bald old man also took out the formation jade slip and found that it was not this jade slip.

If none of them, then who?

At that moment, everyone looked around and found that the huge hall was full of their own people!

Little did they know that a praying mantis covered with scales and with a python's tail was lurking on a pillar of the ceiling, gazing at the crowd below with cold eyes.

At the same time, in another corner, Jing Ke, who was invisible, slowly put down the formation jade slip in his claws.

There is no doubt that the isolation formation in the hall was opened by it.

Jiang Du's eyes darkened, and he felt that this move was extremely strange.

Immediately, a powerful spiritual consciousness quickly extended out with his body as the center.

"Is this a praying mantis?!"

Through the detection of his spiritual consciousness, Jiang Du quickly discovered the Mantis King on the pillar.

His pupils suddenly shrank and he looked up at the ceiling in surprise.

As for Jing Ke, he has the combat power of a saint. Even warriors at the same level cannot detect his aura, let alone Jiang Du who is only half a step into the saint realm.

Swish——!

And just as Jiang Du raised his head, Jing Ke, who had been ready to attack, suddenly rushed out.

A flash of black light passed by, and before Jiang Du could activate the protective spiritual energy shield, his throat was instantly cut.

Jiang Du suddenly felt a pain in his throat and was shocked. He quickly mobilized his spiritual power to seal the wound and prevent the blood from flowing out.

At the same time, the powerful energy and blood in his body also surged to heal the wounds.

A powerful warrior of his level can heal himself from external injuries to his flesh and blood, as long as they are not too serious.

However, Jing Ke's fierce attack was not limited to this!

A deadly black poison spread to Jiang Du's tendons and blood vessels almost instantly, destroying them wantonly.

The spiritual energy in the body could not be mobilized and flowed at all due to the damage to the tendons and veins.

When Jiang Du secretly felt something was wrong, the poison had already corroded his head and heart.

These two places are the most fatal parts of the human body.

“Puff!”

Jiang Du's usually cold face finally showed a look of deep fear, and he immediately vomited a large mouthful of black blood.

"Master! What's wrong with you?!"

The sudden change caused the Wuling Academy members present to panic for a moment.

But Jiang Du not only vomited blood, but also had black lines appearing all over his skin.

This situation is undoubtedly a sign of poisoning! !

Could it be that the food just now was poisonous? !

Thinking of this, everyone's face changed drastically. They were suddenly at a loss and started checking their own physical conditions.

At this critical moment of life and death, who would care about Jiang Du's life or death?

Seeing this scene, Jiang Du was so angry that the toxins in his body eroded faster. He vomited blood again and fell straight to the ground.

He held his last breath, staring at the Mantis King on the pillar, who had remained motionless, his eyes full of disbelief.

Obviously, he had not expected that he, a dignified lord of a mansion, would end up like this.

Until death, you will never know who the murderer is!

Afterwards, Jiang Du couldn't catch his breath and completely stopped breathing.

"Palace Master Jiang is dead!"

Seeing this, the bald old man's pupils shrank slightly.

He was very clear about Jiang Du's strength, which was even stronger than his own.

But even so, in this environment, he was assassinated without anyone knowing!

"If the next target is me..."

As the thought changed, the bald old man's expression tensed and he dared not imagine it anymore.

laugh--!

Immediately, he used his finger as a sword and shot out a stream of sword energy, which hit the light curtain that was isolating the formation and broke it open in an instant.

The bald old man didn't hesitate at all. He moved and rushed straight to the gate.

The look on his face as he fled in panic completely lacked the dignity that a palace lord usually had.

However, the Mantis King had already locked him as his prey, so how could he let him go?

Clang——!

I saw it flap its wings and fly out at lightning speed.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the bald old man, with his sharp blade limbs, bringing up a black flame, and slashing down fiercely!
