Ye Yuan and Lan Han’s plan went smoothly—far smoother than they had anticipated.The one who came to conduct the inspection was a young master of the Wang Family, and he was deeply impressed by the poison Lan Han had created. So impressed, in fact, that Wang Yun directly recruited Lan Han as his subordinate. Naturally, as Lan Han’s assistant, Ye Yuan also became one of Wang Yun’s men, though not officially recognized.Wang Liang Hu oversaw the collection of all the mining output from the Northern Poison Valley and took everything back. He also assigned a new head guard to replace Lan Han, since Lan Han would now be following Wang Yun.Once everything was arranged, they departed, heading toward the Wang Family’s estate.“Lan Han, remember this—Young Master Wang Yun is now your master. His orders are absolute, and you must not disobey even a single word of his command,” Wang Liang Hu reminded him.“Of course, Senior Liang Hu. I’ll remember and do my best,” Lan Han replied with eager det

It had been a month since Ye Yuan entered the Immortal Realm, and he was now trapped within the Wang Family’s territory, forced to serve under them.During his month in the Northern Poison Valley, he had found no trace of Liu Tingyun or Zhao Ling’er, which meant his two wives must have been thrown into different places.Ye Yuan had no knowledge of what lay beyond this valley, nor whether the Wang Family’s territory contained a specific place where Mortal Realm cultivators were thrown upon ascension.That was also the reason he infiltrated the Wang Family—to seek information about the whereabouts of his wives.“Ah… it would’ve been better if I had landed in a wilderness full of savage beasts rather than becoming a slave here.” Ye Yuan sighed, lamenting his unlucky fate.He was currently in his room, sitting cross-legged in the middle of the chamber.“Forget that. I should focus on what’s right in front of me.”Ye Yuan took out several poisonous plants he had received from Lan Han and r

Wang Yun had no idea from where, or from whom, that arrow came, but he was certain it had been sent by one of his siblings.The arrow contained an inscribed formation that held information—whether a message or something else, Wang Yun needed to retrieve it to be sure.He placed two fingers on the formation carved into the arrowhead, channeling his energy into it. The formation lit up, turning into a ray of light that clung to Wang Yun’s finger. He then guided it to his forehead.The information instantly surged into his mind, causing Wang Yun’s eyes to widen in shock. His legs gave out, and he dropped to his knees.“Young Master!” Wang Liang Hu, startled by Wang Yun’s reaction, quickly rushed over to help him stand.Wang Yun’s face was pale, drenched in cold sweat, his eyes bulging—but there was a smile on his lips, twisting his expression into something eerie, almost terrifying.“Haha…” Wang Yun suddenly laughed. “Hahahaha!!”He tilted his head back, sweat scattering as he let out in

“Ah, that’s right. I’ve already given Lan Han plenty of resources, yet there’s still no news of progress on the Black Mist Poison,” Wang Yun reported regarding Lan Han.“Ah, those two...” Wang Yun had been so absorbed in his newfound abilities that he had nearly forgotten about Lan Han and Ye Yuan.He had tasked the two with perfecting the Black Mist Poison—a toxin capable of killing immortals, yet simple to create with extremely cheap ingredients.Wang Yun’s initial plan was that once the recipe was perfected, he could use it to make a massive contribution to the family, one great enough to surpass all of his brothers.But now, with the Sovereign’s inheritance in his grasp, did it even matter anymore? He could already refine the Forest Blood Poison with ease, a far more potent toxin capable of killing immortals. What use was the Black Mist Poison then?Wang Yun pondered whether he should keep Lan Han and Ye Yuan—or discard them.Still, when he thought about it, compared to the Forest

Ye Yuan and Lan Han were now at the lowest level, standing among the crowd of soldiers, watching as the young masters ascended their platforms.“They’ve taken different platforms… it seems this isn’t a one-on-one duel or anything like that,” Lan Han muttered. At first, he thought it would be a battle between poison users, which he found exciting—he was eager to see how the young masters of an Immortal Family fought.Since arriving in the Immortal Realm, Lan Han had rarely fought, and even more rarely had the chance to watch others fight. He had been rather enthusiastic about it—but now, his excitement was cut short.“Well, this is still a contest between poison cultivators. Naturally, they’ll pit their poisons against each other to see whose is stronger. And for that, they’ll need live targets,” Ye Yuan said, glancing at the confident smiles of the young masters standing atop the platforms.“Live targets?” Lan Han raised a brow at Ye Yuan’s words.Then he saw several soldiers dragging
