Chapter 432: Chapter 432: Sect Leader’s Beloved
"This situation can only be maintained for a moment, we must act quickly now!"
As Yang Cheng spoke, he shot out like an arrow leaving the bowstring.
The group saw a shadow flying towards them and were startled, instinctively reaching for the daggers at their waists.
Seeing their motions to draw their blades, Yang Cheng became even more certain of their identities.
Who else would be acting in unison early in the morning, carrying daggers? Even if they’re not from the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, they can’t be good people.
Seeing Yang Cheng make a move, Cheng Ruonan quickly gathered energy, infusing True Qi into her dagger.
As they approached, Cheng Ruonan saw the faces of the group and quickly said, "These are people from the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, take them out quickly to prevent future troubles!"
Yang Cheng nodded, taking advantage of their bodies not yet fully recovered, kicking one in the head before throwing a punch as he turned.
He could faintly feel the flow of True Qi within these four; they were Qi Refining Realm level four cultivators.
The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect truly harbors hidden talents, sending out so many level four cultivators despite the rarity and preciousness of such practitioners.
But before they could gather their energy, they were already severely injured by Yang Cheng.
Cheng Ruonan coordinated well with him, swiftly striking as Yang Cheng landed his hits.
Thud!
The sharp dagger pierced through flesh, tearing the skin open as it was pulled out, with blood splattering everywhere.
Even a skilled cultivator at the Qi Refining Realm could not withstand such a fatal blow.
Also, Cheng Ruonan infused True Qi into the dagger, causing the wound to explode from the inside out, making it nearly impossible to heal.
In less than a minute, Yang Cheng and Cheng Ruonan had taken down the four men.
They stood up, looking coldly at the people inside the car. The few drops of blood on their clothes added to their lethal aura.
"Come out, Ziyan!"
Cheng Ruonan shouted loudly. Although she hadn’t seen it herself, based on Yang Cheng’s description, she could ascertain the identity of the person inside the car.
She really didn’t think that the Sect Leader would send out Ziyan, his treasured darling!
He actually let her come!
This also meant that her betrayal of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect had completely enraged the Sect Leader, who would stop at nothing to kill her.
As her words fell, the car door opened.
A tall, curvaceous woman stepped out of the vehicle, followed swiftly by a group of subordinates who surrounded her.
Yang Cheng squinted slightly, sizing up the woman in front of him. She wore a black short skirt, showing off her impressive long legs, with a slender waist and full hips, her figure was nothing short of perfect.
Her long hair cascaded down her back, her skin was porcelain white, and her dainty face was exquisite, doll-like, yet she possessed a pair of slender amber eyes.
The woman’s appearance was unique, possessing a bewitching beauty; one might believe she was a fox spirit in disguise.
Ziyan saw the four corpses on the ground without a hint of life, instead furrowing her brows, a look of heartache on her face, "Ruonan sister, you killed the Sect Leader’s comrades, how ruthless of you!"
"Remember, it was the Sect Leader who took you in, taught you Cultivation Techniques, and made you a cultivator. How could you bear to betray him?"
Her voice was sweet and slow, as she twirled her silky hair with her pale fingers, every gesture exuding seductiveness.
"Indeed, the Sect Leader saved me, but over the years, I’ve done plenty for him, which should have repaid his kindness."
Cheng Ruonan said coldly, gripping her dagger tighter.
"That’s not the right way to look at it. Without the Sect Leader, you would have died long ago. That’s a life-saving grace, and now you’ve killed your brothers, how ungrateful of you!"
As Ziyan spoke, her eyes gleamed briefly, and a demonic purple True Qi began to flow around her.
"Cheng Ruonan, don’t listen to her nonsense, she’s trying to confuse you!"
Yang Cheng hurriedly reminded her, noticing the emptiness in Cheng Ruonan’s eyes.
"Bullshit life-saving grace, the Sect Leader saw potential in you, thought you’d be a perfect Furnace. Teaching you Cultivation Techniques was just for absorbing more Spiritual Energy from you later on. Snap out of it!"
He shouted, quickly retrieving a few Silver Needles, inserting them into several key acupoints around Cheng Ruonan’s body.
Only after the True Qi surged into her did Cheng Ruonan clear her mind, shivering involuntarily.
"I was careless, I forgot your specialty is the Bewitching Technique, almost fell for it!"
Cheng Ruonan said with a bit of lingering fear, glaring viciously at Ziyan.
"Oh! What a pity, I was so close, it would have been so amusing to see you turn on each other."
Ziyan had a regretful expression, yet it was chilling alongside her charming demeanor.
"Wretched woman!"
Cheng Ruonan cursed, quickly reminding, "Yang Cheng, be careful, this woman isn’t simple. She’s one of the top experts in the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, especially with her Bewitching Technique, which can cause one to lose their senses."
"So she’s an expert, seems like her appearance is misleading."
Yang Cheng sighed lightly.
"Though she appears charming and frail, she’s actually the most lethal person in the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. Don’t underestimate her."
Hearing Cheng Ruonan’s words, Yang Cheng raised his guard, secretly circulating his Cultivation Technique, ready to attack at any moment.
"How could you speak to me like that, it breaks my heart. I thought we were good sisters in the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect!"
"Ruonan sister, there’s still time to turn back. Kill Ye Ling’Er and this man, and I’ll plead for you with the Sect Leader. But if you continue to oppose the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, the Sect Leader will make your life unbearable!"
Despite Ziyan’s coquettish smile, her words were eerie and strange.
"Oh, and the Sect Leader also asked me to tell you, if you don’t obey, you’ll never learn your enemy’s identity in this lifetime."
Cheng Ruonan’s breath hitched, her delicate brows furrowing tightly.
Ziyan thought she had restrained Cheng Ruonan, but to her surprise, Cheng Ruonan scoffed a second later, "Stop trying to fool me with that. He promised two years ago to find that person for me, but he only kept deceiving me to work for him, and I still don’t know who they are."
"Perhaps he doesn’t know at all, just wanted to keep me around, drain my Spiritual Energy when I’m of no more use!"
Ziyan’s smile became tense, but she still pretended to be calm, "The Sect Leader truly knows who it is, but didn’t tell you because that person’s too powerful. acting rashly would certainly cost you your life."
"The Sect Leader’s intentions were for your own good, but you misunderstood, truly... alas!"
Yang Cheng seemed somewhat impatient, coldly saying, "Cheng Ruonan, don’t waste your breath on her. Be careful not to be bewitched again!"
"I’ll deal with her; you handle the rest."
With that, Yang Cheng leaped towards Ziyan.
