Step. Step.Yue Woo-hyeok, who had replied curtly, walked over to the man lying side by side with his youngest son.Zhao Wuheng had told him about it, but he could not make a judgment based on that alone.Since his decision concerned the future of the entire Sichuan Yue Family, caution was necessary.“It’s the poison arts of the Nine Heavens Gate. They must have deliberately sent someone without identifying marks.”Because Cang Wuyin had already stripped the man’s clothes, there was nothing Yue Woo-hyeok needed to do in that regard.Instead, he smelled him and felt various parts of his body.He also checked the personal items the man had been carrying.True to his reputation as the Poison King, Yue Woo-hyeok opened the lids of the bottles without hesitation and examined their contents.“The poisons he’s carrying are also made from toxic substances originating in Miaojiang.”“If the Family Head judges it so, then it must be certain.”“Didn’t the Junior Beggar also seem convinced?”“Whe

Yue Yuzhen’s body trembled like a quaking aspen.With the sudden appearance of the young man, his thoughts had become a Yueled mess, and the words would not come out properly.But there was one thing he knew for certain.That the situation was heading in the worst possible direction.“Se, Second Young Lord……!”The young man called out to him with a voice full of anguish.His eyes were filled with a myriad of emotions.However, Yue Yuzhen did not respond.Though they were bound together by blood, in the end what mattered most was his own life.“You’ve seen this fellow, so there’s no need for further explanation, is there?”Gulp!Xiao Xian’s single sentence sounded like a death sentence to Yue Yuzhen.Still, he did not want to die like this.“Everything, everything was all……!”“That’s enough.”“Fa, Father!”Seeing Yue Woo-hyeok cut him off mid-sentence, Yue Yuzhen cried out in desperation.Yet despite his earnest voice, Yue Woo-hyeok’s expression remained unchanged from start to finish.

Yue Woo-hyeok shook his head.Even by his own judgment, there was no rising junior who could be compared to Cang Wuyin.It was not for nothing that the daughters of martial families, Xuanji included, hovered around Cang Wuyin.Moreover, Cang Wuyin’s true skill was not fully known.‘He wasn’t just a Divine Dragon in name—he was a real Divine Dragon.’Cang Wuyin had not displayed his abilities even once since coming to the Sichuan Yue Family.However, someone at Yue Woo-hyeok’s level could see it no matter how much the other concealed his true strength.Even if it was difficult to see through him completely, he could still gauge his general level.The reason he did not speak of it was simply because there was no need to tell others.“Is there a way?”“It seems Father has already made his decision.”“Then give her to some other bastard? To someone like that? Even if someone else had him, we’d have to snatch him back. Or can you give Xi a child better than that one?”“……That would be diff

Cang Wuyin’s gaze moved to the map spread out on the desk.It was not a detailed map, but it was enough to distinguish the regions.That was why Cang Wuyin’s eyes passed through Yunnan Province, which bordered Miaojiang, and reached Tibet.If it were only the Nine Heavens Gate, the Sichuan Yue Family Alliance would have the upper hand, but since Miaojiang and Tibet were not that far apart, the possibility had to be left open.“If the two join forces, it’s a guaranteed defeat.”Although the Sichuan Yue Family had the Poison Emperor and the Poison King, if they were facing two Tyrant Lords of the Four Tyrants of the World, no matter how strong the Sichuan Yue Family was, it would be difficult.Even if the Qingcheng Sect and the Emei Sect joined forces, it would still be a guaranteed defeat.The overall strength might have been similar, but the real problem lay in the quality of the masters.Before absolute masters, numbers meant nothing.“Honestly, I’d like to dig into this side in more

Qiu Lingxue wore a bitter expression.Just as she had expected, Shangguan Jeok and the Shangguan Family had committed plenty of dirty and despicable acts.However, they were only enough to smear the family’s name.They were not enough to make the Shangguan Family collapse or even waver.“That’s probably the case. A prestigious family isn’t called a prestigious family for nothing. Of course they’d have deep reserves of strength. Still, there’s no such thing as a perfect crime in this world. There are definitely traces left behind. It’s just that we haven’t found them yet. And sometimes, looking around the surroundings is one way to do it.”“I’ll look into it. There are places that openly have bad relations with them, but the real ones are the ones that aren’t known.”“I’d appreciate it.”“No, not at all. If anything, it feels like I’m the one who received advice. As Young Master Cang knows, I also have a debt I need to repay to the Shangguan Family.”Qiu Lingxue clenched her small fist
