Wang Ye focused intently on listening.

"Wang Ye, no matter how powerful, is still human. The poison we produce at the Tianlan Sect is renowned worldwide; even immortals would die if they drank our poison."

"Using poison to kill Sect Master Wang is somewhat despicable. Why don’t we just fight him head-on and kill him?"

"Hehe, if a problem can be solved with intelligence, there’s no need to use brute force."

Ten miles away in the distance.

A middle-aged man with a mustache, a scar on his face, holding a curved sword, displayed a vicious gleam in his eyes.

He wore a snow-white robe, embroidered with a sun—a symbol unique to the Tianlan Sect.

This man was a third-generation disciple of the Tianlan Sect, Chuantian Guihai.

Another woman wore a crop-top leather robe, her jet-black hair contrasted against her somewhat coarse features.

Her expression was seductive, gripping a whip in her hand. This woman was also a standout in the third generation of Tianlan Sect disciples, named Jing Liyi.

Tianlan Sect is situated on an isolated island above the sea; due to the island’s small land and scarce Spirit Stones, those born there carry a natural aura of aggression.

Their methods know no bounds.

A young man remained, plump with a greasy face, carrying a spear—this was the senior disciple, Huang Tian.

The three discussed as they walked, soon sitting under a peach tree to scheme against Wang Ye.

"Jing Liyi, you have remarkable beauty and captivating curves, coupled with an inherent allure; men are naturally drawn to someone like you."

"I imagine Wang Ye would fall at your feet too."

Huang Tian said with a grin.

Jing Liyi heard this but remained indifferent; it was easy to imagine. Tianyong Mountain, though a small sect, surely contained countless beauties.

The Wang Ye must have grown numb from seeing so many beauties.

Just based on appearances, it’s hard to capture someone’s attention.

"You’re too kind. My looks are just average. If you can arrange for Wang Ye to meet under the moonlight, I have seventy percent confidence in taking him down."

Jing Liyi was covered in poison; if Wang Ye touched her clothes or hair, it would cost him his life.

Huang Tian scoffed at this, thinking it’s challenging to lure Wang Ye out.

Men, after all, either love wealth or prefer beauties.

To Huang Tian, he had Wang Ye cornered.

"It’s not difficult. Tonight is April 15th; the moonlight should be beautiful, and misty in the night... there’s a hazy beauty in viewing a beautiful woman under the moon."

Huang Tian thought of various ways to lure Wang Ye into the peach blossom forest.

First, extortion: capture one of Wang Ye’s maids, then make him come to save her.

Second, visit Wang Ye’s residence at night; surely he would personally chase after, and when he arrives at the peach forest, things would be accomplished.

Third, simply invite him; send him beauties and Spirit Jade, under such temptation, he would surely come.

"Tomorrow night, figure out a way to lure Wang Ye into the peach forest."

Huang Tian was very confident.

Being the oldest, Chuantian Guihai remained silent, pulling out a liquor flask and drink.

And so, the three settled on their plan, now waiting for the rising moon.

Elsewhere, Wang Ye heard their conversation loud and clear.

He gathered the Divine Soldier Art, transforming into a sudden black streak flying towards them. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Moments later, Wang Ye appeared before the three.

The three turned and saw Wang Ye.

In their unawareness, Wang Ye’s sudden appearance startled them.

"Who are you?"

"When did you get here?"

"Did you hear everything we said just now?"

The three quickly calmed their shocked hearts, sharply questioning the unexpected guest, Wang Ye.

Wang Ye, with an indifferent expression, spoke.

"Isn’t it me you’re planning to invite, Wang Ye?"

As soon as the words fell, murderous intent glinted in the eyes of the three, as they brandished their weapons.

Jing Liyi swayed her hips, approaching Wang Ye with a seductive smile.

Ordinary men, seeing her like this, couldn’t resist.

Even Chuantian Guihai and Huang Tian, who saw Jing Liyi daily, swallowed hard at the sight.

’Sect Master Wang truly is handsome and youthful, a remarkable talent.’

Jing Liyi praised, though her eyes rippled with intrigue.

Jing Liyi practiced the Devil’s Pupil technique, which bewitched minds and seized souls.

Her looks, seductive demeanor, coupled with the Devil’s Pupil effect, no man could easily escape her control.

Relying on this, she successfully killed several sect masters.

One of whom was particularly powerful.

After killing several masters, her fame naturally spread, earning her the title "Blood Rose" in the Blackwater Secret Realm.

Wang Ye sensed the intent to control him with Divine Soul Power.

Yet to Wang Ye, this power was feeble.

If his own strength was like a Male Mountain, then Jing Huiyi’s Divine Soul Power was but a speck of dust.

Jing Liyi was unaware of the danger ahead, believing Wang Ye was fully under her control.

Her heart held disdain for Wang Ye, initially thinking Sect Master Wang was formidable, but apparently, he was conquered at first sight.

Soon, she reached Wang Ye, tiptoeing closer to his cheek.

Thump thump thump~

At this moment, Jing Liyi’s heart raced; just one step away from letting Wang Ye perish in this peach blossom forest.

In the next second~

Jing Liyi’s Divine Soul was suddenly seized by Wang Ye, her gaze turned serious, abruptly turning, she attacked Huang Tian with her whip.

"Whirlwind Whip Release!"

With a flick, a whirl surged forth.

In no time, Huang Tian was enveloped, countless whips lashed at him.

Instantly, Huang Tian’s body was battered, resembling a bloodied figure.

Who could’ve imagined Jing Liyi would suddenly attack him, and with a deadly strike?

Huang Tian couldn’t evade in time.

The whip carried poison, spreading across Huang Tian’s body as it struck.

In an instant.

Huang Tian collapsed, his face turned blue, frothing at the mouth, convulsing twice, then stopped breathing.

Though dead, Huang Tian’s eyes remained open, filled with confusion, and pain...

"Jing Liyi, what are you doing, have you gone mad?"

Chuantian Guihai shouted coldly, clutching his sword tightly.

He then smashed his liquor cup heavily onto the ground.

Seeing Huang Tian dead, Jing Liyi kicked her whip, poised atop the peach branch with a bare foot, attacked Chuantian Guihai.

Chuantian Guihai recalled their tender times together, hesitating to strike.

"Returning Dragon Step!"

With a leap, Chuantian Guihai jumped ten meters away.

Seeing Chuantian Guihai flee, Jing Liyi quickly pursued.

Chuantian Guihai merely evaded with peculiar footwork.
