The guard gave a mocking smile to the rogue martial artists imprisoned in the room. In his eyes, these people were already dead, it was only a matter of time before they died.
After the guard finished speaking, he was about to turn and leave when he suddenly felt a chill rise behind him.
He stiffly turned his head to look, but hadn't yet seen who it was.
The cold dagger was already pressed against his neck, and without hesitation, it slashed his throat.
He clutched his bleeding neck and fell straight to the ground.
The other guards, witnessing this scene, had no time to react and were also killed by the person who had unknowingly crept up behind them.
"These little bastards are so undisciplined," Lin Muze laughed. "Easy to handle."
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and find Wanwan," Yu Qiqi said.
They checked each room one by one, and finally found Luo Wanyin in a room in the corner.
Yu Qiqi smashed the door open with a hammer.
Luo Wanyin was bound to an iron stake by chains. Hearing the noise, she looked up.
"Xiyan, Wanwan".
Looking at Luo Wanyin, who was bound by iron chains, a cold glint flashed in Ruan Xiyan's eyes.
With a wave of his hand, all the chains binding her snapped.
Yu Qiqi stepped forward and quickly supported the exhausted Luo Wanyin. "Wanwan, how are you? Are you injured or feeling unwell?"
“That old bastard Wu Xin actually tied you up with iron chains.”
This iron chain is specially made; it can suppress her strength while also suppressing the toxins in her body.
Wu Xin must have been somewhat afraid of her body afflicted by countless poisons, and thus specially prepared these iron chains for her.
Seeing Yu Qiqi's angry expression, Luo Wanyin comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
"I don't know what Wu Xin has been busy with lately, he hasn't been able to take care of me. I've been tied up for too long, and my body is a bit numb."
Ruan Xiyan handed her a pill to restore her strength, "Take this first."
"Thank you, Xiyan."
Seeing Luo Wanyin gradually recover, Ruan Xiyan asked, "Wanwan, what happened?"
"When I was gathering information, I was accidentally discovered by the Qin family. Qin Xiong personally took action and captured me."
"I thought he would imprison me in the Qin family's dungeon like before, but instead he took me to see Wu Xin, the city lord of Jinrong City."
"Only then did I realize that the Qin family was working for the City Lord's Mansion, and that Wu Xin was the one who was really after my Ten Thousand Poisons Body."
"Wu Xin practices a rare poison technique. He soaks his body in various poisons year-round to enhance his poison skills."
"If he wants to cultivate his poison skills to the purest and strongest level, he needs the help of the Body of Ten Thousand Poisons, which is known for its domineering poisons."
“My blood also contains deadly poison, which is why he imprisoned me and had Qin Xiong take his blood to practice his poison skills.”
"Could those people being held here be the ones who recently went missing?" Lin Muze glanced outside.
Luo Wanyin nodded. "I only found out after I was locked up here that the missing disciples of Ice Feather Palace, like those rogue martial artists, were all captured by Wu Xin."
“Wu Xin used to cultivate with my blood. The blood of the Ten Thousand Poisons Body is extremely domineering. Now that we’ve started, we can’t just stop it.”
"However, because I ran away back then, Wu Xin did not have the blood supply of the Ten Thousand Poisons Body and suffered a backlash."
"So he captured some lone martial artists who were not weak and used evil magic to absorb their power to suppress the poison that was backfiring."
Luo Wanyin lowered her eyes slightly. "Speaking of which, the reason those people were arrested is also related to me to some extent."
“Wanwan, this matter can’t be blamed on you at all,” Yu Qiqi said. “In the end, Wanwan, you are also a victim. You don’t need to blame yourself.”
"Exactly! If anyone's to blame, it's that old bastard Wu Xin. He's the one who caused all this." Lin Muze clenched his fist. "I really want to go and beat that old bastard up right now."
"Count me in, I want to stand up for Wanwan too."
Ruan Xiyan slowly looked outside and said, "If you want to vent your anger, you can do it in a little while."
As the city lord of Jinrong City, Wu Xin must have spies all over the area.
He could not hide the commotion from here; he must already be on his way.
"Xi Yan, Wu Xin's poison technique is very strange. As far as I know, his strength has already reached the Creation Realm. He should not be underestimated," Luo Wanyin reminded her worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'm not someone to be trifled with either. Wanwan, I'll avenge you today. You just watch from the sidelines." Ruan Xiyan's eyes turned slightly cold.
Seeing Ruan Xiyan like this, if the atmosphere weren't so inappropriate, Yu Qiqi would have wanted to whistle and shout, "Sister Yan is awesome!"
"I believe you, Xi Yan." Luo Wanyin smiled.
She will always believe her, no matter what.
Lin Muze looked at Ruan Xiyan, "Sister Yan, what about those people locked up outside?"
"Release them all," Ruan Xiyan said. "Let's see if there are any disciples of the Ice Feather Palace among them."
Lin Muze and the others opened the gate one by one and released the people.
Those people quickly clasped their hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you so much for saving our lives."
"No need to thank me. Since everyone is alright, please disperse." Yu Qiqi waved her hand and said.
"Thank you, thank you."
The other rogue cultivators left, leaving only a few disciples of the Ice Feather Palace standing in place.
"Young Palace Master." The disciples bowed to Yu Qiqi.
Just as Yu Qiqi was about to say something, a commotion came from outside the secret room.
Ruan Xiyan narrowed her eyes. "You came pretty quickly."
They stepped outside, and as expected, the villa was already surrounded by guards.
The person in the lead was Wu Xin, the city lord of Jinrong City.
He watched as Ruan Xiyan and her group came out of the room, his gaze falling on Luo Wanyin.
His gaze was like that of a venomous snake, filled with a chilling, sinister coldness.
"How dare you! Do you know where you are, daring to trespass on my territory?"
"Guards! Kill everyone except this woman!" Wu Xin glanced at Luo Wanyin.
"Yes, Lord City Lord."
All the guards behind Wu Xin rushed towards Ruan Xiyan and her group.
Ruan Xiyan's strength at the Creation Realm suddenly manifested, and the guards who rushed forward were instantly blasted away by a force.
"The Creation Realm?!" Wu Xin frowned deeply.
This little girl is actually at the Creation Realm level! And she's at the fourth level of the Creation Realm.
No wonder they were able to turn the villa upside down so quickly.
"Very well, today I, the city lord, will personally capture you." Wu Xin was surrounded by black poisonous mist, revealing his strength at the fifth level of the Creation Realm.
He attacked Ruan Xiyan with poisonous mist wrapped around his hands.
But before they could reach Ruan Xiyan, they were blocked by an ice wall.
The poisonous fog collided with the ice wall, making a hissing sound.
