Chapter Nine, Counterattack

Lin Zhuyun's maid, Han You, finally calmed down after her repeated scoldings and accurately recounted the information provided by the Yu family.

His cries for help, being firmly pressed down by those hands, rendered him as if he had become a mute, unable to truly convey his voice.

Oh!

"Achieved! The Meridian Realm, Ninth Heaven!" Feeling the surge of spiritual energy, he grinned and said, "The Meridian Expansion Pill is indeed effective!"

He was so frightened that his soul seemed to leave his body, and he hurriedly tried to scream with the little strength he had left, wanting to awaken the others in the Yu family

An indescribable pain, originating from the central dantian, rapidly spreads throughout the entire body

The speed of blood flow suddenly increased several times, as if the vital energy and blood were wild horses that had broken free from their reins, running wildly in all directions, causing him unbearable pain

"Suddenly dying and coming back to life, now there is a poison master who has taken an interest, how strange, truly strange." Suddenly, a thought unexpectedly arose in her mind, "Could it be that you were the one who killed him? Impossible! You could not possibly have the ability to defeat Yin Jue!"

Here comes the very foolish young master who has been intent on plotting to harm the Yu family ever since he entered their household, and who even thought he had succeeded in his scheme

The one who breaks through the Profound Realm, allows the middle Dantian known as "Xuanmen" to be opened, enabling the refinement of life energy— the power of Qi and blood

Then, the prominent veins on his neck suddenly burst open

Yu Yuan

Yu Yuan exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the ninth meridian within his body was suddenly filled with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth

The young master of the Yu family, along with the maid, were both seen with their own eyes. They also mentioned that the poison master had taken a liking to Yu Yuan's talents and had come secretly with the intention of accepting him as a disciple

Yin Jue suddenly collapsed to the ground, trembling uncontrollably, realizing that both the vital energy in his middle dantian and the spiritual power in his lower dantian were surging wildly, beginning to tear at his flesh and internal organs

Gazing at that figure, Yin Jue, despite the excruciating pain, still found it hard to believe

A long, long time later

After a few seconds, the red lotus flower shrank again, gathering all its light and mysteriously concealing its presence

After pondering for a moment, he understood the implication and thus made a decision in his heart

Strange

He shook his shoulder, suddenly channeling his spiritual power, intending to kill Yu Yuan on the spot

After finishing her words, Han You felt uneasy and cautiously observed her young lady

The sea of vital energy and blood in the central dantian suddenly surged with tumultuous waves

Suddenly, a stunningly bright red lotus flower floated in like a ball of fire

Wail!

Ah!

With the elevation of one's realm and the refinement of life energy, it is possible to continue gaining additional lifespan, with the potential to achieve longevity of a thousand years or even ten thousand years

There were no prior indications

Yin Jue has died

Woe! Woe!

Not far away, the frozen An Ziqing remained unaware of what had transpired from beginning to end

It is late at night, please do not make a commotion

He subconsciously reached to scratch his skin, but it truly had no effect whatsoever

Crimson blood suddenly filled his face and neck, while his swollen chest gradually became deflated, as if his internal organs were being gnawed at by a foreign substance, slowly shrinking.

Before his consciousness faded in pain, he suddenly saw the tightly shut door of the pavilion being gently opened by someone

The pain that surged through his entire body seemed to intensify due to Yu Yuan's words

His mouth was tightly covered, yet he could still breathe through his nostrils

With his back turned to Yu Yuan, he pressed his mouth even harder and spoke in a gentle tone: "I suspect that the toxin of the Tortoise Blood Pill has already permeated your internal organs. At this moment, your organs must be gnawed at by minute poisonous insects, causing you great pain, right? Hmm, hmm, I know, I know you are already starting to wish for death."

After Yu Yuan opened his mouth, he took a deep look at An Ziqing, who was frozen by the cold air. From his experience, the cold had not penetrated An Ziqing's organs, which meant that Yin Jue did not intend to kill her immediately, but had other purposes in mind

Moreover, this itch seems to reside not on the surface of the skin, but deep within the flesh!

According to Yu Yuan and the statements provided by the Yu family, Yin Jue had a conflict with a poison master, who then killed him with poison

Only by reaching the state of breaking through the mysterious realm can a practitioner have their life energy fully abundant, allowing the limit of their lifespan to be altered once again

It is said that after Yin Jue was poisoned, the deadly toxin ignited within his body, reducing him to ashes

The vital energy and blood suddenly went out of control

From the gaps of its hand covering its mouth, there came a sound of pain akin to a beast nearing death, piercing and filled with fear

When he stared closely at the red lotus flower, he suddenly felt dizzy and his consciousness became blurred. He silently lamented, "This is bad."

After the events of that night, he became increasingly eager to elevate his realm of cultivation

In the next moment, he felt Yu Yuan suddenly appear behind him and quietly crouch down

Yu Yuan removed his blood-stained hands from his mouth and skillfully searched for wood, igniting it with a piece of "Flame Crystal" to burn the deadly "Turtle Blood Pill" on the spot.

However, falling into Yin Jue'er's ears, each of his words felt like the sharp blades of a devil, piercing into his heart and soul one after another

Under the moonlight, a figure both familiar and unfamiliar strolled leisurely towards him

Yu Yuan spoke softly and slowly in his ear

She certainly understands that Yin Jue must have been driven by the elders of the Han Yin Sect to seek out Yu Yuan in the dead of night, and his intentions are surely not good

Died from a deadly poison, poisoned and killed by the one who eradicated Yin, or by an unknown poison master

What is the underlying situation in this matter

The red lotus flower suddenly swelled open, and then, like a scarlet maw, it directly swallowed him whole

Below the Broken Profound Realm, whether mortals or cultivators, at most can live for a little over one hundred years

After the initial shock, Lin Zhujun quickly calmed down, her brows furrowed deeply, remaining silent.

Last night, Yin Jue died from a lethal poison outside the Yu Yuan attic

For no apparent reason, Yin Jue felt an itch all over his body

Lin Zhuyun was lost in thought, unable to find an answer for the moment, as Yin Jue's visit to Yu Yuan in the dead of night was indeed suspicious. She had no justification and lacked the confidence to confront the Yu family and demand an explanation.

A pair of fair and slender hands appeared just in time beneath his nostrils, then firmly covered his open mouth

Suddenly, a more intense tearing pain erupted violently from within the internal organs

Is it really that coincidental

Yin Jue appeared at Yu Yuan's residence in the dead of night; regardless of the circumstances, there must be an issue with himself

The toxin of the Blood Toad Pill has a more pronounced effect on those who have broken through the Xuanmen realm.

He was drenched in cold sweat, curled up his body, and slowly squatted down while trembling

... ...

As the master served by Yin Jue, she cannot escape the consequences of Yin Jue's actions

That poison master, having truly recognized Yu Yuan's talent, specifically went to find Yu Yuan late at night to discuss the matter of taking him as a disciple

Once again, it is a prolonged period of focused meditation.

The Central Dantian is located in the chest cavity, connecting to eight extraordinary meridians. It is capable of channeling the refined energy and blood that has been cultivated in the Central Dantian through these eight extraordinary meridians into the flesh and organs, thereby tempering the physical body

You see, I did not cover your nose as well, nor did I cause you to suffocate instantly, isn't it just to give you a little more time to truly feel it

But now, Yin Jue is dead

Yet he is clear in his heart; this is merely a brief calm before the storm

Do not rush, wait a little longer, and take your time to feel it thoroughly

At this moment, the despair is overwhelming, lacking the ability to end one's own life, instinctively gasping through the nostrils, enduring extreme pain

Blood began to uncontrollably flow from Yin Jue's eyes, nostrils, ears, and mouth, rendering him exceedingly terrifying at this moment

However, at this moment, the foolish boy who should have long since died in his heart not only remains alive but also gazes at him in a way that even the ruthless and cold-hearted man feels a sense of unease and palpitation.

He murmured a phrase and attempted to mobilize his vital energy and blood from his lower dantian in order to alleviate the itchiness within his body

How could I possibly fear this fool

Yin Jue could no longer maintain the continuous casting of "Green Radiance Fire"

... ...

Yin Jue, who covered his mouth, fearfully discovered that in the moment when his central dantian was opened, a tiny foreign object rushed into his central dantian along eight extraordinary meridians in an instant

Upon entering the realm of the transcendent, one's lifespan can be significantly extended, easily adding several decades or even a century

The howl abruptly ceased

Three days have passed since the news of Yin Jue's death was conveyed to his fiancée, and as he had suspected, there was no great upheaval on that side

... ...

Yin gasped violently, his face filled with pain, suddenly contorted by a fierce and malevolent expression, forcibly replaced. "It must be due to the uncontrolled flow of my vital energy, suffering from this bizarre pain, that I am experiencing such strange emotions!" he consoled himself inwardly

That person, with a faintly indifferent smile at the corners of their mouth, has eyes that emit a brilliance as bright as the cold moon hanging high in the night sky

The essence of the tortoise blood pill that erodes and corrupts is the power of vital energy. The central dantian, which condenses and reserves vital energy, has been infiltrated by the toxins of the tortoise blood pill. These toxins can spread through the eight extraordinary meridians, rapidly reaching the five internal organs. Tsk tsk, that kind of stinging sensation will only become more intense!

The tearing of the internal organs, the piercing pain of twisted blood vessels and meridians throughout the body, intensifies increasingly

As soon as these words were spoken, Yin Jue's eyes bulged, staring at him fiercely, as if seeing a ghost in broad daylight

Attempting to harness the power of the Qi and blood from the central Dantian to alleviate the internal itch of the Yin Jue, a low howl suddenly escaped.
