Chapter 256

Yue Buqun's patron is the Qinglong Society?!!

In an instant.

The crowd erupted.

Everyone stared at Yue Buqun with stunned, uncertain expressions.

Their eyes held complex emotions.

Among them were dread, fear, envy, and jealousy.

And countless other feelings besides.

But one thing they could all be certain of.

Obtaining the Youth-Preserving Pill today would be difficult!!

And as they were lost in thought.

On the Huashan side.

Everyone's faces lit up with joy and excitement.

The tension they had been holding in their chests instantly dissolved.

A sense of survival after near-death arose from deep within.

"Yan Shisan?!"

He sized up the newcomer.

Yuan Tiangang's pupils shrank slightly.

Beneath his mask, his aged face flickered with deep wariness.

A man's name, a tree's shadow!

Facing this man.

He dared not underestimate him.

As he spoke.

A faint pressure rose in his heart.

His grip on the sword tightened unconsciously.

"Huashan Sect is a subordinate force of the Qinglong Society."

"Within ten breaths, you all leave swiftly— I shall overlook your past deeds!"

"After ten breaths, anyone still here— kill!!"

"Do not say I did not warn you!!!"

He glanced at him indifferently.

Yan Shisan raised his eyes to the crowd.

Every word dripped with overwhelming murderous intent.

The bloodstained stench that rushed toward them.

In an instant.

It froze every person in place.

Their internal Qi also stalled.

Moreover.

Even the atmosphere in the arena turned heavy and oppressive.

An invisible pressure, cold and biting.

Made their spines chill, their hearts tremble with dread.

Before his words had fully faded.

The once-massive crowd scattered like birds and beasts!

The frantic, fleeing backs.

Where was the earlier arrogance?

Some of those with weaker cultivation.

Were so terrified their faces turned pale, fleeing with all their might.

They looked as if they wished their parents had given them extra legs!!

In the blink of an eye.

Half the crowd was gone.

Only a few with formidable strength remained.

But as the ten-breath window neared its end.

Their uncertain, alarmed expressions gave way to muttered curses, and they turned and left.

True, Yan Shisan's cultivation was formidable, but with so many here, they could surely overpower him.

But what then?

Who could withstand the Qinglong Society's wrath?!

Especially with the recent examples of top-tier factions like Cihang Jingzhai still fresh in mind!

Therefore.

They dared not gamble—and did not wish to gamble!!

Even the proud Dongfang Bubai.

Made the same choice.

Yet her expression suggested she was not angry.

Soon.

Ten breaths passed.

The once bustling courtyard.

Now only Yuan Tiangang and his group remained.

Don't think you're staying here.

Yet inwardly, they were already groaning in despair.

You say to leave? But if you return empty-handed like this, just imagine how furious Tang Huang will be.

But if you say to stay, the Qinglong Society is no easy foe!

Even.

They had already learned some news before joining.

The reason their group was promoted from probationary members to full members.

The Qinglong Society took all the credit!

Without their slaughter.

The Bu Liang Ren wouldn't have died in such numbers!

The Bu Liang Shuai wouldn't have had to replenish his ranks from the probationers.

But the problem is.

Facing such a killing star.

They're terrified too!!

147- If the Qinglong Society can't have them, no one else shall! (Requesting subscription)

"So, you've chosen to stay, then?!"

Seeing Yuan Tiangang and his group standing motionless.

Yan Shisan sneered.

Then.

Without giving him a chance to answer.

He waved his hand and ordered.

"Deal with them!"

Saying this,

He drew his Bone Poison Sword.

And charged straight toward Yuan Tiangang.
