Chapter 119: Admit Defeat
Qin Xuanyu and Jiang Qingyue stood back to back, watching the encirclement gradually shrink around them, their expressions turning solemn.
Seeing the other party's expression of being on high alert, the man felt very smug.
After all, no one has ever escaped from his clutches.
He blew his whistle triumphantly again, and instantly all the snakes raised their heads, assumed an attack posture, and in the next moment, they leaped out of the water, ready to attack.
Qin Xuanyu and Jiang Qingyue showed no panic. Instead, they quickly took out a packet of powder and sprinkled it forward.
When the powder came into contact with the snake, it made a "sizzling" sound. The snake, which was originally poised to attack aggressively, instantly turned its head and fled in panic.
It turned out that, upon hearing that it was a dilapidated mountain villa, and given that the Ghost Sect was skilled in using poison, Qin Xuanyu and Jiang Qingyue both assumed that there must be many poisonous insects and snakes inside.
Therefore, Jiang Qingyue had made two preparations in advance, preparing the medicine powder to deal with any situation, and it really came in handy!
The man's smile froze instantly; he clearly hadn't expected them to resolve the crisis so easily.
His lower eyelid twitched involuntarily. "You dare to hurt my snake? You're asking for death! Kill them!"
After saying that, he leaped forward, drew the soft knife from his waist, and rushed towards Qin Xuanyu.
The men in white around them immediately drew their soft knives, ready to attack.
Before the enemy could reach her, Jiang Qingyue lit the signal, and Jiang Luofeng led his elite soldiers to charge forward, and the two sides immediately engaged in a chaotic battle.
Although the Ghost Sect was skilled in using poison, they were all small fry and relied on poison for a long time. Therefore, in terms of physical fitness, they were far inferior to the seasoned soldiers and were quickly defeated.
Jiang Qingyue stepped forward, pulled off the hat of the man leading the group, and pulled it down to reveal a black crescent-shaped brand on his neck.
"You are from the Poison Sect, yet you impersonate the Medicine Sect?" This is putting all the blame on the Medicine Sect.
Jiang Qingyue's heart was already unconsciously filled with murderous intent.
If I'm not mistaken, then it's the old man, a member of the Medical Sect.
Not only did he fall victim to the Poison Sect's poison, but he also had to continue taking the blame. How could Jiang Qingyue easily forgive the Poison Sect?
"You know quite a lot, so what? The Ghost Sect should rightfully belong to my Poison Sect!" Even as death approached, the man remained defiant.
"Where exactly did you take General Gu?" Jiang Qingyue was now even more worried about her grandfather.
"Hmph, I'd rather die than tell you."
"Then let's see who's the best! Notify the Gu family army to wipe this place out completely."
A strong killing intent flashed in Jiang Qingyue's eyes.
In that case, there's no need for the Ghost Sect to remain.
"Do you think my Ghost Sect has no one left?!"
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared from the quiet secret passage, followed by an elderly man with gray hair who looked down on them.
Jiang Qingyue stared in shock at the old man before her.
If she hadn't buried that old man herself, she would have thought he had come back to life.
No, it's still different. This person has an extra mole on their face, while the old man doesn't.
"We will retreat as long as General Gu is here, and we will leave each other alone."
"What if I disagree?" In his eyes, these people were not worth considering.
The situation instantly became tense, and a major battle was imminent.
The soldiers were waiting for an order, but Jiang Qingyue knew that they were no match for him and would only be sent to their deaths. Therefore, Jiang Qingyue did not let them make a move.
"Then you can wait for the imperial court's iron hooves to trample your Guizong sect." Qin Xuanyu stepped forward, facing the old man's murderous intent directly.
The old man narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw Qin Xuanyu. He felt that the person in front of him was somewhat familiar. Upon closer inspection, he recognized Qin Xuanyu!
Why is he here?
Although he was a man of the martial world, he had still heard of Qin Xuanyu's name.
Although he is a prince of the imperial court, he has also been in the martial arts world for many years. Moreover, if he joins forces with the Gu family army, their Guizong sect will indeed not fare well.
Thinking about this, I see they've already started weighing the pros and cons.
Although he didn't need to fear the imperial court, he didn't want to offend Qin Xuanyu, that madman!
He poisoned Qin Xuanyu to avoid him becoming a future threat, but he was so lucky to be alive and well.
Is the poison ineffective against him?
No, absolutely impossible!
Therefore, he was not afraid of Qin Xuanyu taking action; as long as Qin Xuanyu made a move, the poison would definitely take effect!
If this can lead to...
However, after thinking it over, the priority now is to appease them.
"King Qin, this is not something we wanted. It was the court that asked him to do it. Moreover, the court promised that as long as we cooperate, they will naturally support us. At that time, the martial world will be the domain of my Gui Sect."
Therefore, Your Highness, if you can make that promise, we can certainly help you. After all, isn't it about cooperation?
The old man began to negotiate terms with Qin Xuanyu.
"You think I would help a tyrant when I'm dealing with a tiger for its skin?" After saying that, Qin Xuanyu stopped talking and prepared to take action.
The old man was surprised that Qin Xuanyu attacked without warning and immediately stepped in to stop him.
But Qin Xuanyu came on strong and didn't give him any chance to speak, so the old man hurriedly defended himself.
However, the more he tried to block it, the more he realized something was wrong.
Why is Qin Xuanyu's internal energy increasing instead of decreasing? Has he really been cured of the poison?
No, there is no antidote in this world, and it is impossible to cure the poison!
While dealing with Qin Xuanyu, he was also thinking, making it difficult to concentrate. Within a few moves, Qin Xuanyu had him spitting out blood. "You...no, how is this possible, you..."
"You mean to ask why I wasn't poisoned? And why I can use my internal energy?" Qin Xuanyu immediately guessed what he was thinking.
"That's right, it shouldn't be like this!"
No, that move...
The old man belatedly realized that something was wrong.
This "leaving no trace in the snow" isn't... Qin Xuanyu, he is... that person!
Thinking of this, the old man felt utterly hopeless.
If Qin Xuanyu is indeed the infamous figure in the martial arts world, then he really has to avoid his sharp edge. After all, with his power, not to mention soldiers, most of the martial arts world would drown him in their spittle at the mere mention of his command.
“I never expected that I would lose!” The old man knew the wisdom of discretion. “But we really don’t know where General Gu is. We set a trap to capture him, but he disappeared. Not only are you looking for him, we are looking for him too.”
The old man wasn't lying this time. Indeed, they had trapped General Gu in the formation, intending to capture him. However, when their men arrived at the formation, it was completely empty, and they couldn't see a single person.
