"Lei Ming, you're not even hiding it now? Didn't you say you weren't cooperating with the Five Poisons Sect?" Ye Cangtian's face showed a mocking smile. Not long ago, the other party still denied any cooperation with the Five Poisons Sect, but now he was summoning people from the Five Poisons Sect, truly without any shame!
"Lei Ming, you owe us an explanation! Why are you cooperating with the Five Poisons Sect!"
"Lei Ming, by cooperating with the Five Poisons Sect, have you considered the future of Imperial Dragon Villa!"
"Lei Ming..."
Led by Ye Cangtian, angry voices erupted from the crowd. Everyone's indignation reached its peak, especially Lei Ming's confidantes. They followed Lei Ming for a future, but what future was there in cooperating with the Five Poisons Sect? Moreover, Lei Ming had never informed them of this matter from beginning to end, so what were they in Lei Ming's eyes?
"Shut up! All of you shut up!"
"Whoever dares to say another word, I'll kill them!"
Facing everyone's anger, Lei Ming's expression was exceptionally cold, his eyes revealing a complete killing intent. Since he had already revealed the Five Poisons Sect, he had nothing to fear. He would crush any stone blocking his path without hesitation! Under his threat, the scene suddenly became quieter, and most people dared not speak out despite their anger. Lei Ming's cultivation was strong, and with the help of the Five Poisons Sect, they would likely be powerless even if they stepped forward. Furthermore, none of them had a leader, making them like scattered sand.
Seeing this, Lei Ming sneered, his gaze fixed on Ye Cangtian, and said, "Death God, I didn't want to reveal them initially!"
"You forced me into this, so you must die today!" Saying that, Lei Ming looked at everyone in the hall and continued, "Listen, everyone else. If you want to live, stand aside honestly. After I finish dealing with Death God, I won't trouble you!"
With these words, everyone present was awestruck, and no one moved. Cooperating with an evil force like the Five Poisons Sect had crossed their bottom line. Even if Lei Ming was the Villa Master, they could not obey his orders. Seeing this, Ye Cangtian revealed a hint of satisfaction. Although these people did not stand up to oppose Lei Ming, their silent protest showed that they still had a bottom line and understood right from wrong! This was enough. He believed that with proper guidance, these people would eventually rekindle their passion. Thinking thus, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and said, "Lei Ming, you think the Five Poisons Sect can back you up? Do you know that I've killed at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, people from the Five Poisons Sect in my hands!"
"Death God, do you think I'm scared of you?" Lei Ming looked at Ye Cangtian disdainfully and continued, "Besides, even if what you say is true, you probably only killed some minor figures, right?"
Ye Cangtian shrugged his shoulders and said calmly, "In front of me, they were indeed minor figures. But in front of you, perhaps not?"
"Oh? Why don't you tell me." Lei Ming felt unconvinced and instinctively replied. After all, he considered himself not much worse than Death God. Why would the small fries in front of the latter be great figures in front of him?
"Heh heh, I have no obligation to tell you stories, nor are you qualified to listen. Hurry up and make your move!" Ye Cangtian said with a disdainful smile.
"You..." Feeling Ye Cangtian's gaze, Lei Ming was instantly furious. His hand trembled as he pointed at the other person and roared, "Since you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish. Elder, I'll trouble you to take action!"
"Good, it's mine!" The Great Elder nodded, his gaze falling on Ye Cangtian, and said, "Kid, you just said you've killed many disciples of the Five Poisons Sect. Then don't blame me for being ruthless. It's all your own doing!"
Ye Cangtian glanced at the other person and said, "Old stinky bug, can you stop talking nonsense?"
"If you want to die, don't be in a hurry!"
"I won't let you die too quickly. I'll at least let you experience the torment of being torn apart by a thousand poisons." Du Gui glanced at Ye Cangtian, a vicious smile on his face. He then looked at Lei Ming and said, "Lei Ming, you should have the people in the hall retreat. Otherwise, they might get injured by mistake."
Lei Ming nodded. If these people died here, what was the use of even keeping his position as Villa Master? Thinking thus, he looked at the people in the hall and said, "All of you, listen to my command, retreat to the side! No! Retreat outside the hall..."
As Lei Ming's voice fell, the scene became silent, and no one moved. Now that Lei Ming was cooperating with the Five Poisons Sect, in their eyes, Lei Ming was no longer the Villa Master of Imperial Dragon Villa.
"Lei Ming, do you know what it means to have many helpers when you're righteous and few when you're unrighteous?"
"Watch carefully!" Ye Cangtian mocked Lei Ming and continued, "Everyone, listen to my command, retreat outside the hall. Leave this place to me!"
As his voice echoed again, the crowd stirred and retreated towards the main entrance. Although Ye Cangtian was not the Villa Master, he had now exposed Lei Ming's true colors, preventing the Villa from going astray. For this alone, they would give him this face.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Seeing this scene, Lei Ming trembled with anger, his chest heaving violently. He was the Villa Master, so why were the disciples of Imperial Dragon Villa listening to Death God? Wasn't this treating him, the Villa Master, as air? Thinking thus, Lei Ming looked at Du Gui and said in a deep voice, "Great Elder, aren't you going to make a move yet?"
Heh heh. Du Gui smiled slightly, his gaze fixed on Ye Cangtian, and raised his staff, pointing at him, saying, "Kill!" With just a single word, the surrounding Five Poisons Sect disciples rushed towards Ye Cangtian.
Clang! Before they could reach Ye Cangtian, Lan Yue, having taken an antidote pill, drew her sword and flashed forward. These low-level henchmen didn't require Ye Cangtian to act. Seeing Lan Yue make a move, Ye Cangtian said nothing. He looked at Du Gui and said, "Du Gui, these minor figures can't deal with me! Why don't you take action yourself!"
Du Gui chuckled upon hearing this and said, "Death God, don't be impatient. If you want to fight me, you have to ask them first." As he spoke, Du Gui looked to his side at the remaining four disciples who hadn't attacked. Sensing Du Gui's gaze, the four immediately understood. Without a word, they moved.
"A formation?" Looking at the movement trajectories of the four and the spiritual energy connections between each node, Ye Cangtian realized that the other party was setting up a formation.
"That's right, it's a formation!" Du Gui nodded, not surprised at all. It was not unusual for a master like Death God to recognize a formation. The next moment, as the formation was successfully set up, he introduced it, "This formation is one of the ancient poisonous formations. Its name is very simple, called the Fierce Poison Formation."
"It only has one effect: ordinary poisons used within the formation will have more than a hundred times the potency! I'd like to see if you truly possess the Myriad Poisons Physique!"
"Heh heh, interesting. Then come on." Ye Cangtian's face showed a faint smile, but he was excited inside. His cultivation technique's absorption ability allowed him to absorb poisons for his own use. He could say that the Heart-Eating Poison released by Lei Ming just now had already slightly improved his cultivation. If he were to encounter even more potent poisons, he believed his benefits would be even greater. To put it bluntly, he treated these poisons as nourishment to enhance his cultivation.
Meanwhile, as Ye Cangtian's voice fell, the old man ignored him and nodded to the four disciples. Receiving Du Gui's command, the four disciples instantly trembled, and a thick poisonous mist emanated from their bodies. They then charged towards Ye Cangtian. Seeing this, Ye Cangtian's gaze turned cold, and his body also flickered. In the next instant, he appeared before two disciples, reaching out without hesitation and grabbing their necks. With a slight force, accompanied by a few cracking sounds, the two had their necks instantly snapped and fell to the ground. Immediately after, Ye Cangtian's figure flashed again, seizing the daggers from the two, and then flicking his hands in succession.
Thud! Thud! As the cold glints penetrated the bodies of the two, all four advancing Five Poisons Sect disciples were instantly dealt with by him. There was no suspense; this poison formation only enhanced the potency of the poisons and did not increase the combat power of the Five Poisons Sect disciples. Therefore, dealing with them was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables for Ye Cangtian.
