Chapter 241: Chapter 241: Charm Radiating from Within, You’re So Despicable...

Qi Yuansheng’s Cultivation was higher than the Grandmaster in black before him, but his opponent’s Light Body Technique was formidable. It was enhanced with an elusive quality, making him difficult to pin down for the moment. This caused Qi Yuansheng’s brow to furrow.

Seeing this, his gaze shifted. Since this man was so tenacious, he would aim his attacks at the other men in black to relieve the pressure on the other Cyan Yuan Sect Disciples.

He had also figured out his opponent’s intentions. It was unclear when reinforcements from the other Sects would arrive, so freeing up these disciples to go support Ji Feng and the others would be for the best.

If he hadn’t discovered that Ji Feng was no match for this man—who had cultivated Inner Refining to the Fifth Lungs and Spleen, just one level below his own—he never would have left Elder Yan’s side.

Now, he could only buy them more time. It would be even better if he could find an opportunity to kill the man before him.

Under the assault of Qi Yuansheng’s powerful Fist Momentum, the men in black fell one after another. Seeing this, the Celestial Sword Sect Grandmaster frowned but could do nothing about it. In a head-on clash, he was no match for Qi Yuansheng. This was the only way he could stall him.

"Go support Elder Ji and the others! You can leave this to me."

Qi Yuansheng shouted at the Cyan Yuan Sect Disciples, who stood ready for battle.

These disciples couldn’t offer much help. The man before him was simply too slippery, and his Light Body Technique was too formidable. No matter how many people they had, it would be difficult to take him down quickly. The best course of action would be to ignore this opponent.

Unfortunately, the man knew what he was thinking and was determined to stall him.

"Yes, Hall Master."

Upon hearing his command, the Cyan Yuan Sect Disciples left without hesitation.

Before heading to White Jade City, these Cyan Yuan Sect Disciples had been ordered to obey all commands.

"It’s useless. Yan Jinfeng, Ji Feng, and the others are all going to die. We’ve arranged for three other Inner Masters to ambush them. Everyone from the Cyan Yuan Sect in White Jade City will be wiped out, and you’ll be no exception."

The Celestial Sword Sect Grandmaster didn’t try to stop the Cyan Yuan Sect Disciples. His gaze remained fixed on Qi Yuansheng. Those disciples weren’t important; what mattered was pinning Qi Yuansheng down so he couldn’t go help the others.

Although there was a gap in their Cultivation, it wasn’t large. If Qi Yuansheng stubbornly insisted on going to help, the Grandmaster’s Sword Intent could find an opening to strike and severely injure him.

Both men knew the other’s plan, so they each employed various tactics against one another.

"I never would have guessed it from the Celestial Sword Sect. Back then, you were the first to want to leave White Jade City, but now you’re directly involved in its internal strife. Your acting skills are truly masterful."

"But no matter how good your acting is, it’s ultimately useless. You have reinforcements, and naturally, so do we. I will personally annihilate the Celestial Sword Sect’s forces in White Jade City and show you what real strength is."

"And you can rest assured about the Celestial Sword Sect. Our Sect Leader will personally destroy it and make sure its legacy vanishes completely."

Anyone could speak words meant to wound the heart, and Qi Yuansheng was no exception. He wanted to shatter his opponent’s composure, making his mind unsteady so he could find an opportunity to kill him.

When you couldn’t overwhelm an opponent with sheer strength, you had to use other means to restrict them, even throw them into disarray to find a chance for the kill.

TING! TING! TING!

"Listen. Yan Jinfeng and the others are about to die. Your reinforcements never came, and you’re going to die by my hands too."

The sound of clashing weapons rang out from a distance. A look of delight appeared on the face of the man in black from the Celestial Sword Sect, and he immediately moved to disrupt Qi Yuansheng’s state of mind.

"Enough talk. You die first!"

Qi Yuansheng felt a surge of anxiety, but he knew that being anxious was useless. The man before him was constantly looking for an opening.

If he revealed even the slightest weakness, a fatal blow would follow, snuffing out his life.

At this moment, the best choice was to focus entirely on dealing with this man.

Yang Chan’s figure vanished into the darkness. The room appeared to be completely empty, as if he had simply hidden himself.

But he hadn’t expected that even so, someone would appear in his room. Judging by the person’s aura, it was clearly that of an Inner Refining Grandmaster Level expert, which left Yang Chan speechless.

’Why would he come to a place that’s completely empty?’

"Looks like that young Pharmacist from the Cyan Yuan Sect went over to Yan Jinfeng’s group. Good. They can all be surrounded and killed together with Yan Jinfeng and Ji Feng. The rest of these Cyan Yuan Sect people will be easy to deal with."

The intruder muttered to himself after searching several times and finding no one.

Hearing this, Yang Chan frowned slightly. ’So this person really came specifically to kill me. He went out of his way to find me and is even searching the room.’

’Logically, I’ve been very low-key since arriving in White Jade City. As for Refining Elixirs, I only successfully refined the First Revolution Nourishing Viscera Pill and made it look like I failed all the others.’

’At the brothel, I blended in with the crowd, never trying to stand out or acting all aloof and mysterious.’

’I haven’t recited any famous poems or timeless verses either. I should have seemed completely unremarkable.’

’I can’t believe someone is targeting me even after all that.’

’Could they have seen the charm I radiate from within? That’s an inner quality; it shouldn’t be easy to spot.’

"It’s just like that guy said, a wasted trip. Later, I’ll definitely have to torture this little Pharmacist prodigy to death."

"I hate these genius Pharmacist types the most. The only good genius is a dead one. Making me search for so long... I can’t let him get away."

The man in black muttered to himself, the killing intent in his voice growing ever stronger.

He could no longer hold back his desire to kill.

They had more or less figured out all of the Cyan Yuan Sect’s trump cards. The forces they had deployed now far surpassed those of the Cyan Yuan Sect. This time, all of the Cyan Yuan Sect’s people would be staying in White Jade City for good.

"That’s right! People who barge into other people’s rooms are the worst. They all deserve to die!"

A voice rang out eerily.

The voice reached the man in black’s ears, and he was instantly on alert. He had just turned around when a variety of Hidden Weapons flew at him, followed by a Plum Blossom Sleeve Arrow.

The man in black dodged frantically, but he wasn’t fast enough and was wounded by the Hidden Weapons.

"Sharp Weapon Level Hidden Weapons... A pity they’re not quite enough to kill me. I didn’t expect you to still be hiding here. Your Breath Concealment Technique is impressive, but you’re still going to die."

"Celestial Feather Sword Flower... No, it’s poisoned! You’re despicable..."

The man in black dodged several times. Though he couldn’t evade everything, he had managed to protect his vitals. This was all because he hadn’t expected anyone to still be in the room.

In the end, it came down to Yang Chan’s masterful technique for Concealing Breath, which had completely eluded the powerful senses of an Inner Master. At the same time, the Hidden Weapons in Yang Chan’s hands were of a high grade—Sharp Weapon Level. Otherwise, they never would have been able to pierce the physique of an Inner Master.
