The members of the Great Light Cult called out names one by one. When a name was called, the person would come forward, and the cultist would cut off a small piece of the substance with a dagger and give it to the person to consume.
The person who took the substance immediately showed a comfortable expression on their face, and even their whole body was trembling violently.
However, in Yang Sheng's mental perception, the moment these people took this thing, their mental strength seemed to be boosted, but their blood and qi were constantly weakening.
Do you know what this is?
Yang Sheng asked Ye Meiniang in a low voice.
Of the three men under him, Ye Meiniang was the most interested in studying poisons and other strange things, and she was quite knowledgeable.
Ye Meiniang shook her head and said, "I don't know, I've never heard of it or seen it."
In recent years, things in the martial arts world have become increasingly strange, with all sorts of bizarre and unexpected things constantly emerging.
Yang Sheng gestured towards Li Yuanlin, signaling him to make a move.
But Li Yuanlin just sneered, as if he hadn't seen it at all.
He was unwilling to come here in the first place, and even if he were to take action, Yang Sheng would have to go first to scout ahead and lead the way.
Chen Da cursed angrily, "Damn it! This bastard wants us to go ahead and scout the way for him, while he reaps the benefits from behind!"
Yang Sheng glanced at Li Yuanlin and said coldly, "Ignore them for now, just make your move!"
I've come to capture that heretic from the Great Bright Cult; you expel the rest.
Just as Yang Sheng and the others jumped down, preparing to make their move, someone else acted before them.
The gate and courtyard wall were blasted open, and a burly man dressed in black armor, holding a blood-red spiked club, and standing at least 2.5 meters tall, strode into the courtyard with a group of soldiers.
On the other side, a white-robed scholar with a small mustache landed gracefully with more than twenty martial arts practitioners.
At the other end of the Hu family mansion, the sound of swords being drawn rang out, and more than ten white-clad swordsmen quietly arrived, led by Jiang Xuerou.
People from all directions appeared at once, and the wealthy households in the surrounding Yi County panicked and tried to flee, causing chaos to erupt in the scene.
However, no one paid any attention to them; everyone's eyes were fixed on the sorcerer from the Great Bright Sect.
The monk may run away, but the temple can't. It's not too late to deal with these guys who believe in the Great Brightness Sect later. The key is to catch this guy.
Strangely, despite being surrounded by so many experts, the demon from the Great Brightness Sect showed no fear or other emotions, as if he had resigned himself to his fate and sat cross-legged on the ground.
Seeing the situation on the scene, Yang Sheng frowned.
What is Old Eunuch Han up to?
It was supposed to be a secret, but now it's all over the place, everyone knows.
Li Yuanlin then approached, his expression slightly changing.
"This is troublesome. The news has leaked, and all these guys have come looking for it."
The one in black armor is Yuwen Du, a general under Grand Tutor Cai, known as the "Evil God." He was originally a border general who committed a capital crime but was saved by Grand Tutor Cai. He has over a thousand lives on his hands.
That man with the mustache was Wu Sisan, the chief strategist and chief clerk under the Eighth Prince, known as "Little Zhuge Liang." He was extremely cunning and had many ruthless men under his command.
You crippled Yue Zhongli of the Heavenly Sword Sect last time, but this time you've sent someone even more troublesome!
Did you see that old man next to Jiang Xuerou? He's definitely an elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect!
These elders have been in seclusion for over a decade. Although they are unknown and not listed on the martial arts rankings, none of them are easy to deal with.
"Yang Sheng, let's go. This is different from the task the government assigned us."
Yang Sheng said expressionlessly, "Retreat? The arrow is already on the string and must be released. What kind of business is it to retreat before we've even fought?"
If we really retreat, will it be a disgrace to me or a disgrace to the Guardians?
"Li Yuanlin, you can back out if you want, but I'm not leaving."
"You want to die, but I don't want to die with you!"
Seeing Yang Sheng's stubbornness, Li Yuanlin sneered and led his men away.
Why risk your life for such a meager monthly salary?
However, before they could leave the Hu family mansion, Li Yuanlin suddenly stopped and led his men back to the outside of the mansion to secretly observe the situation.
If he goes back like this, Eunuch Han will definitely question him about why Yang Sheng stayed there but he came back. He will be in for a good scolding and punishment.
If Yang Sheng dies here, I can easily pin all the blame on him.
After all, the dead can't speak or argue.
