Immediately, the group headed out of the main hall. Inside the City Lord’s Mansion, dozens of guards surrounded two elders and a middle-aged man, with two guards already lying injured on the ground.

"Quite bold to cause trouble in the City Lord’s Mansion; it seems someone is ready to leave their life here," Chu Linfeng spoke to the three men.

The strength of these three men was impressive. Those two elders were at the Third Layer of the Venerable Martial Realm, while the middle-aged man was at the Second Layer of the Venerable Martial Realm. They stared at Chu Linfeng, their eyes filled with anger, showing strong hostility toward him.

"Boy, this is Linsa City, and you dared to kill the City Lord of Linsa City, then casually select another as the new City Lord? You really think Linsa City has no people left? Today, this old man will avenge the City Lord and slaughter you all here," an elder said, full of rage.

Chu Linfeng burst into laughter, "Hey, old fool, are you out of your mind? How dare someone at the mere Third Layer of the Venerable Martial Realm act so impudently in front of me? I could destroy you with a single move. Do you want to test it? But I’m curious who had the guts to send you here to die."

"Qingshuang, why bother with them? People like them should be killed directly to serve as an example. Let me handle this task," Xiao Qiang couldn’t help but say.

Chu Linfeng waved his hand, smiling, "Just protect Yiyi and Feifei; someone will fight for you. Right, Lijuan?"

"Of course, I already know who sent them. I didn’t expect someone else to vie for the position of Human King with me. How interesting!" Zhang Lijuan said.

Chu Linfeng knew she certainly used the Mind Reading Art to uncover their secrets, amazed by its mysteriousness. He smiled and said, "Then quickly handle these three, let me see just how powerful you are."

"Boy, you sure talk a lot. Since I dared to come today, I am prepared. Prepare to die!" The elder laughed, and immediately a red porcelain bottle appeared in his hand.

"What’s that? Do you think that bottle can kill us all? You underestimate us greatly. Lijuan, deal with them," Chu Linfeng said.

Seeing the red porcelain bottle in the elder’s hand, Zhang Lijuan’s face instantly changed, "Old man, aren’t you afraid of implicating all Linsa City’s citizens with such a vicious method?"

"What’s in there? Could it be a poisonous substance? This old man truly should die!" Chu Linfeng thought angrily, furious at using the lives of the city’s people to threaten him.

"Hahaha! Clever, little girl. You know the consequence of what’s in the bottle. If you don’t want Linsa City’s people to die, you’d better comply. Otherwise, with a light force, the bottle will shatter, leaving no survivors in Linsa City," the elder arrogantly said.

"Lijuan, what’s in the bottle? It sounds pretty significant," Chu Linfeng immediately used Secret Transmission to ask Zhang Lijuan.

"It’s the Heaven-Overturning Poison from the Human Race’s Poison King, a terrifying poison. Once dispersed in the air, those who inhale it have only death ahead. There’s no antidote. It’s unexpected that the one fighting me for the position of Human King is the Poison King from the Royal City," Zhang Lijuan said.

"Heaven-Overturning Poison? Never heard of it; perhaps it’s useful to ordinary people, but it shouldn’t affect me much," Chu Linfeng thought.

"Indeed, the Heaven-Overturning Poison poses a lethal threat to others, but it has no effect on you, a freak. Your Wood Element is its nemesis. This poison consists of Death Qi mixed with dozens of toxic substances. Death Qi is a strange gas, quickly dehydrating and turning people into dried corpses. Combined with highly poisonous substances, its power is enormous," Sword Spirit said at that moment.

Upon hearing this, Chu Linfeng relaxed, smiling, "It seems I’m the only one who can save the people. Such good deeds are not small."

"If the Heaven-Overturning Poison is released, you must envelop yourself completely with the Wood Element, then use the Star Absorption Technique to absorb it into another bottle. Although it poses no threat to you, it’s troublesome to expel the poison once inhaled," Sword Spirit reminded.

"I understand. This time, watch how I play with these three reckless fools daring to threaten me," Chu Linfeng said.

Chu Linfeng stepped forward at this moment, came to Zhang Lijuan’s side, and said to her: "Let me personally handle this Heaven-Overturning Poison, you just be responsible for killing these three people later, so I can also see how powerful your Space Domain is."

"Heaven-Overturning Poison is dangerous once touched. Even a Sixth Level of Venerable Martial Realm expert needs half a day to expel it from the body. I think I should directly use the Space Domain to trap these three people and then take them to a deserted area to kill them, so as not to threaten the civilians inside Lisha City," Zhang Lijuan said.

Chu Linfeng waved his hand and said to those three people: "Since you have Heaven-Overturning Poison, I want to hear your intentions. I imagine you didn’t come here just to kill us, right?"

"We already know that you killed Human King Xiang Shaolong, and are certainly very afraid of your strength. But now, the human race lacks a leader and naturally needs a new Human King to emerge. At present, the only one who can assume this position is Poison King Lu Bing. Our request is simple: we hope you will support Poison King to become the new Human King; otherwise, everyone can only perish together here," the elder holding the red porcelain bottle said.

"Support him? Isn’t he afraid we will kill him later? I dare to kill even Xiang Shaolong, let alone a mere Poison King. Aren’t you underestimating us?" Chu Linfeng laughed.

"Poison King already anticipated this. Since he wants your support, there must be a way to control you. I have a kind of Heart-devouring Pill here. Anyone who takes this pill will experience heart-devouring pain once within a month. This pain is unbearable for ordinary people, and only Poison King has the antidote. I think you understand my meaning," the elder said.

"You want to use poison to control us, then obey Poison King’s orders? What a calculation! Since Poison King so eagerly wants to be Human King, why didn’t he make a move on Xiang Shaolong? Could it be because he’s afraid of Xiang Shaolong?" Chu Linfeng laughed, already determined to kill this Poison King.

"Hahaha! Kid, you’re really ignorant. The Child’s Skill practiced by Xiang Shaolong makes him naturally immune to any poison, or he’d already be dead. Now you killed him, perfectly fulfilling Poison King’s long-held wish. If you don’t want the city’s citizens to die, swallow this pill," the elder said.

Another elder immediately took out a black porcelain bottle from a storage ring; Chu Linfeng knew this must contain the Heart-devouring Pill.

Kong Feifei and Lin Ruoxi both looked toward Chu Linfeng, wanting to see how he would handle this situation. Unexpectedly, they encountered such a tricky issue today; a slight mistake could result in mass deaths.

"You underestimate me too much. I don’t fear a mere Heaven-Overturning Poison. Since Poison King is so eager to be Human King, I’ll let him meet Xiang Shaolong soon, while you get to meet Xiang Shaolong ahead of him," Chu Linfeng laughed.

After speaking, a strong aura suddenly emerged from him. This aura contained monstrous killing intent and imperial majesty, rushing toward the three people, making the surrounding space seem frozen and terrifyingly strange.

The elders never imagined the other party wouldn’t yield, daring to act despite knowing about the Heaven-Overturning Poison. This aura made them fearful, as if they were about to suffocate, unable to move, more unbearable than the pressure of the Space Domain.

Zhang Lijuan, being closest to Chu Linfeng, naturally felt this powerful pressure, and was surprised: "He’s indeed remarkable. This aura should be at least from the Seventh Level of Venerable Martial Realm. Who exactly is he, to have such strength at this age? It’s terrifying."

The elder holding the red porcelain bottle now had his veins bulging on his face, sweat dripping nonstop. Unexpected that the other’s aura was so terrifying, it seemed impossible to make these people submit today. A sense of crisis arose in his heart.

These three were actually forced to take Poison King’s Heart-devouring Pill; otherwise, even with great courage, they wouldn’t dare to seek out Chu Linfeng, who killed the strongest human, Xiang Shaolong.

Then, Chu Linfeng withdrew his aura and said: "Hand over the Heaven-Overturning Poison and Heart-devouring Pill obediently, and perhaps I’ll spare your lives. Otherwise, death will soon be upon you."

The elder knew that even if he handed over Heaven-Overturning Poison and Heart-devouring Pill, it would be hard to escape death. Poison King wouldn’t spare him. Rather than suffer Poison King’s torment, he might as well fight now, even if he dies, taking these people with him would count as a worthy death.

"Boy, you think I’d believe your nonsense? Since you won’t agree, don’t blame me for being ruthless," the elder said viciously, while exerting slight force with his hand, shattering the red porcelain bottle.

Immediately, a black mist spread from the red porcelain bottle. Instantly, the elder’s body began to dry up rapidly, muscles rotting, screams like those from hell escaping his mouth. Within a few breaths, he was reduced to a puddle of blood, dying horrifyingly.
