Chapter 214: Revealing the True Face

Xia Yurou's voice carried a hint of coy innocence; her cheeks were flushed, her gaze dazed, and her whole body leaned softly against Jiangnan.

Feng Ying also felt her head hazy; she shook her head vigorously, trying to clear herself, but her body grew heavier, as if filled with lead.

"I also feel a bit dizzy..."

Feng Ying's voice was weak and feeble; her complexion was pale, and fine beads of sweat seeped from her forehead.

As a cultivator, Feng Ying's constitution far exceeds that of ordinary people; ordinary wine could never make her drunk, and she realized something was wrong.

"Li Chengfeng! You... what did you do?"

Feng Ying forced her body upright, glaring at Li Chengfeng, her voice filled with anger and accusation.

She strained to circulate her true Qi, but found it vanished like a stone sinking in the sea, no response; her dantian was empty, as if someone had drained it.

Li Chengfeng did not answer Feng Ying's question; instead, he turned his head toward Jiangnan, a strange light flickering in his eyes.

"Jiangnan, how do you feel?"

Li Chengfeng's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of mockery.

Jiangnan staggered, grasping the table to steady himself; his complexion turned a bit pale, his gaze dazed, as if he too was heavily drunk.

"I... I also feel a bit dizzy..."

Jiangnan's voice was muddled, his body swaying as if he could collapse at any moment.

Seeing Jiangnan like that, Li Chengfeng could no longer hold back; he laughed brazenly, his laughter full of triumph and mockery.

"Hahaha... you fools, you believed others so easily; it's utterly laughable!"

Li Chengfeng's voice was full of ridicule, and a ferocious grin spread across his face.

"You... who exactly are you?" Xia Yurou forced herself to endure the dizziness, glaring at Li Chengfeng, her voice brimming with anger and resentment.

"Who am I? Hahaha, then I'll tell you!"

Li Chengfeng's laughter abruptly stopped, his expression turning dark and terrifying.

"I am not a descendant of Zhengyang Sect at all; I am a Qijiu Sect Direct Disciple—Li Chengfeng!"

Li Chengfeng's voice thundered like a sudden lightning, echoing through the cavern.

"What? You... you're from Qijiu Sect?"

Xia Yurou and Feng Ying gasped in shock, their faces filled with astonishment and disbelief.

They never imagined that Li Chengfeng, who claimed to be a Zhengyang Sect heir, was actually the Sect Leader of Qijiu Sect—simply unbelievable!

"Impossible! Didn't you say you were a Zhengyang Sect heir? Didn't you say you'd avenge Zhengyang Sect?"

Feng Ying roared, her voice full of anger and resentment.

"Zhengyang Sect? Hahaha, that's just a lie I fabricated, intended to lure you onto the hook!"

Li Chengfeng's face showed a smug smile.

"As for why I claimed to be from Zhengyang Sect, it's simply because..."

Li Chengfeng paused deliberately at this point, his gaze sweeping over the three, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes.

"Only this way could make you self‑proclaimed righteous fools lower your guard and obediently follow me here!"

Li Chengfeng's voice was full of mockery.

"You... you are despicable!"

Xia Yurou trembled with anger, trying to stand but feeling a wave of weakness, nearly collapsing to the ground.

"Despicable? Hahaha, in this world of the strong devouring the weak, only strength is the true way; you weaklings are fit only to be stepping stones for the strong!"

Li Chengfeng's tone was full of contempt.

"You... what exactly do you intend to do?"

Feng Ying endured her discomfort and asked.

"What do I want to do? Of course, send you on your way! People like you are perfect fodder for Glowing Mushroom!"

A flash of murderous intent crossed Li Chengfeng's eyes; his voice was cold and ruthless.

"You... you dare!"

Feng Ying roared, her voice trembling with fear.

"What wouldn't I dare? You so‑called righteous people are just a bunch of fame‑seeking hypocrites; killing you would be eliminating a menace for the people!"

Li Chengfeng's tone was full of ridicule.

"You... won't die a good death!"

Xia Yurou's eyes were filled with hatred, her voice laced with curses.

"Hahaha, I won't die a good death? I'm afraid you won't see it!"

Li Chengfeng laughed loudly, a ferocious grin on his face.

"Jiangnan... what should we do?"

Xia Yurou looked at Jiangnan, her eyes full of despair.

"Don't... don't be afraid, I... I'm here..."

Jiangnan's voice was feeble, his body swaying as if he could collapse at any moment.

"Hahaha, Jiangnan, you can't even protect yourself, yet you want to protect others? That's utterly laughable!"

Li Chengfeng mocked, a disdainful smile on his face.

"You... what exactly did you do to us?"

Feng Ying asked, her voice full of confusion.

"I only added a pinch of Soft Tendon Powder to the wine; it's a secret elixir of the Qijiu Sect that can temporarily erase your true Qi, turning you into ordinary people."

Li Chengfeng said proudly.

You... you despicable!

Feng Ying shouted angrily, her voice filled with anger.

Hahaha, thanks for the praise!

Li Chengfeng laughed loudly, a smug smile appearing on his face.

Jiangnan... you... you alright?

Xia Yurou asked worriedly, her voice full of concern.

I... I'm fine...

Jiangnan's voice was weak and feeble, his face pale, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

Hahaha, Jiangnan, stop pretending—I know you're not an ordinary person, but even if you were a god, my Soft Tendon Powder would leave you powerless!

Is that so?

Jiangnan suddenly lifted his head, a glint flashing in his eyes, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly, revealing a strange smile.

You... you...

Li Chengfeng saw Jiangnan's smile, a sudden ominous feeling welled up in his heart, his voice filled with shock.

You think your Soft Tendon Powder really works on me?

Jiangnan's voice suddenly became clear, his body standing straight—where was there any hint of drunkenness?

This... this is impossible!

Li Chengfeng's face showed an expression of disbelief, his voice filled with shock and fear.

Nothing is impossible.

Jiangnan said lightly, his tone full of confidence.

You... you how did you manage that?

Li Chengfeng asked, his voice filled with doubt.

Want to know? Too bad, you have no chance.

Jiangnan's eyes flashed with killing intent, his body flickered, and he threw a punch!

Li Chengfeng was utterly stunned!

He never expected that Jiangnan would actually be unaffected by the Soft Tendon Powder!
