After my Daoist partners broke off their engagement, they pledged their loyalty to me!

Two figures stumbled into the cave, one after the other. Jiang Lin, who was about to remove the Hidden Spirit Array, immediately stopped and looked over.

The one who came in first was Tang Yu.

Her beloved purple dress was now stained red with blood, the contrast of red and purple making her skin appear dazzlingly white.

Jiang Lin didn't go out to greet them, because he could tell at a glance that Tang Yu was not in a good state.

Tang Yu's cheeks were flushed an unnatural red, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, as if she was trying to hold back something.

Her eyes were slightly dazed. She hadn't noticed when she entered the cave that the wound on her forearm, which had already stopped bleeding, had reopened. The skin at the tear in her dress was faintly visible, making it hard for anyone to open their eyes.

"This is... poisoning by a type of mimosa?"

Jiang Lin was startled.

Senior Sister Tang Yu is quite powerful.

Although it's unknown which level of the Meridian Opening Realm she is, she has a great reputation on the Refining Peak.

The guy who managed to get Tang Yu to fall for his trick is no ordinary person.

Jiang Lin's doubts were then resolved.

He saw Li Ran following closely behind Tang Yu into the cave.

Li Ran at this moment.

The pretense on his face had completely vanished.

All that remained was the greed in his eyes and the undisguised burning gaze. After entering the cave, he casually slapped a picture.

"Click!"

A loud bang.

A surge of powerful spiritual energy erupted from his palm, shattering a boulder and blocking the cave.

He wasn't sure if Tang Yu had completely lost her senses to the aphrodisiac, so he didn't rush over yet. Instead, he asked with concern, "Junior Sister Tang Yu, please sit down and rest."

"Don't worry, I just blocked the cave, no other people or spirit beasts will come to disturb us. I'll protect you here."

Li Ran's voice was soft.

He knew that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Junior Sister Tang Yu would be his soon!

Tang Yu had no time to pay attention to what Li Ran was saying.

She forced herself to sit cross-legged, with her palms facing upwards, and began circulating her internal energy. If even the third-grade miasma-removing pills were ineffective, she would have no choice but to forcefully expel the poison by circulating her internal energy.

Li Ran leaned against the stone wall to the side, without moving.

"Hmph, keep trying, Tang Yu. Once I get my hands on you, I'll have the opportunity to utilize Elder Miao Qi's resources. At that point, I might even have a chance to advance to an inner disciple!"

Li Ran's heart was already burning with ambition.

Outer disciples are ultimately just basic disciples of the Misty Holy Land. If they want more powerful techniques, martial arts, and resources, they still need to become inner disciples!

Jiang Lin, who was in the Hidden Spirit Array, watched quietly from the side.

He looked at Tang Yu and Li Ran not far away, and had already taken out the Shattering Star Bow and Shattering Star Arrow.

There are also second-tier attack talismans, defense talismans, and escape talismans.

It was Li Ran who led Li Mingjie to kill Jiang Lin in the ruins; unexpectedly, they met again so soon.

And the situation is so special!

Without asking, Jiang Lin guessed that Li Ran was definitely behind the aphrodisiac that Senior Sister Tang Yu had been given.

Although Jiang Lin is only at the ninth level of the Qi Gathering Realm, the Shattering Star Bow and Shattering Star Arrow are both high-grade mortal-level spiritual treasures, which are usually used by third-level cultivators like those at the Yuan Dan Realm.

It shouldn't be a problem to use it against someone like Li Ran who is at the Meridian Opening Realm.

"If that's not enough, I'll use a second-tier spirit talisman to finish it off!"

Jiang Lin made a plan in his mind.

He rubbed the Shattered Star Bow between his fingers.

The slightly cool touch reassured him.

Li Ran was waiting, and Jiang Lin was also waiting.

He was waiting for Li Ran to lose his temper and attack Tang Yu. The moment Li Ran's attention was completely focused on Tang Yu was the perfect opportunity for him to strike.

Tang Yu's cheeks were completely flushed pink.

Even her normally fair neck turned pink.

The effects of the aphrodisiac were rampant during this period, and Tang Yu's attempts to expel the poison through his internal energy cultivation were completely ineffective.

She leaned against the stone wall.

The coolness emanating from the stone wall brought her back to a sliver of clarity.

Recalling the scene where she was grazed by the throwing knife, how could Li Ran have appeared at the spot where she was hiding so coincidentally?

"Li Ran...something's not right!" The fact that Tang Yu was accepted as a disciple by Elder Miao Qi proves that she is also very intelligent.

The poison only caused her unbearable heat all over her body, an intense itching between her legs, and some mental confusion.

This isn't poison; it's a medicinal herb from the Albizia julibrissin family!

Everything had happened so fast that she didn't have time to think it through.

Looking back now.

She had already noticed Li Ran's problem.

Tang Yu suddenly looked at Li Ran and saw Li Ran walking towards her step by step.

"Li Ran, you've colluded with disciples from outside the sect!"

"Huh?" Li Ran was startled.

I didn't expect Tang Yu to figure it out so quickly.

But at this moment, he was ready to fire the arrow!

"Hmph, Junior Sister Tang Yu is indeed clever." Since he couldn't hide it from Tang Yu, Li Ran simply decided to completely break off all pretense.

He gripped the Lingbao longsword in his hand and smiled sinisterly: "Since you've figured it out, then cooperate with me obediently. In the future, I'll make sure you get the soup even when I'm eating meat."

He had been inquiring about Tang Yu for a long time.

He knows Tang Yu very well.

If we forcefully take her now, given Tang Yu's personality, she certainly won't spread this kind of thing around.

"Dream on!" Tang Yu roared angrily. He never expected Li Ran to be so ruthless, colluding with disciples from other sects to harm his fellow disciples!

She brandished her spirit sword, creating a flowing cloud-like sword flower, and thrust it towards Li Ran.

But at this moment, she was in very poor condition.

Because of the aphrodisiac, the swordplay she executed was less sharp but more alluring.

Her slender waist swayed as she wielded her sword, her skirt billowing in the wind.

With the help of the small, shiny stones on the cave walls, Tang Yu's flushed cheeks appeared even more beautiful in the fleeting flash of sword light, and tiny beads of sweat on her forehead dripped down her smooth cheeks onto her delicate collarbone.

Li Ran easily parried with his longsword. As he channeled his spiritual energy into it, the blade hummed. Seeing Tang Yu's feigned weakness, he couldn't help but sneer, "Heh, you won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!"

"You're not even using half your full strength right now, and you're still being stubborn. Don't blame me for that!"

With that, a cold glint flashed in Li Ran's eyes. He swiftly cleaved Tang Yu's spirit sword in two, and in a flash of light, the blade struck Tang Yu's shoulder, sending him flying.

"Ugh..." Tang Yu groaned in pain.

She tried to struggle, but the spiritual energy in her body was disrupted by Li Ran's strike, and the intense heat throughout her body almost overwhelmed her remaining rationality.

Losing patience, Li Ran unleashed a powerful surge of spiritual energy, pointing his longsword at Tang Yu, his overwhelming aura surging towards Tang Yu: "Accept your fate, stop wasting your time with me!"

Tang Yu was thrown backward by this momentum, stumbled and fell to the ground, her high, firm breasts heaving even more violently.

But her jade-like hand still gripped the spirit sword tightly, gritting her teeth and refusing to let go.

Seeing that Tang Yu still refused to back down.

Li Ran suddenly stepped forward, intending to knock Tang Yu unconscious.

"Now!"

Jiang Lin, who had been waiting in the Hidden Spirit Formation, knew that the most crucial moment to strike had arrived!

Left hand: bow; right hand: arrow.

The Shattering Star Bow was drawn to its fullest extent, and three Shattering Star Arrows instantly unleashed a fierce killing intent, locking onto Li Ran.

Li Ran was, after all, at the Meridian Opening Realm. Jiang Lin channeled most of his spiritual power into the Shattering Star Bow and the three Shattering Star Arrows, then bit into two Spirit Recovery Pills to quickly restore his spiritual power.

Jiang Lin has a strong ability to understand.

Although he had not practiced any archery-related martial arts, through his previous training, he was already able to use three Shattering Star Arrows simultaneously against his enemies.

At this moment, three Star Shattering Arrows were nocked and released as spiritual energy flowed, the arrows shimmering with a chilling starlight.

"disease!"

Three piercing sounds rang out as the Shattering Star Arrow, carrying an indomitable momentum, flew towards Li Ran.

Li Ran's expression changed drastically. He was so focused on knocking Tang Yu unconscious that he didn't notice that there was a third person in the cave.

Li Ran instinctively parried with his longsword, but the first Shattering Star Arrow struck the blade, unleashing a violent burst of spiritual energy that deflected his sword.

The second Star-Shattering Arrow struck Li Ran in the chest in the blink of an eye, making a crisp "thud" sound.

"Wow!"

A mouthful of blood mixed with shattered internal organs spurted out.

Li Ran was actually wearing a magical soft armor!

Unfortunately, there was a third Star Shattering Arrow.

The third Star-Shattering Arrow was aimed at Li Ran's head!

"Bang!"

The powerful penetrating force, accompanied by spiritual energy, exploded, shattering Li Ran's entire head, and the arrow pierced deep into the stone wall.

The headless corpse slowly fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Tang Yu, who had been suppressing her emotions, looked at the person who had made the move. When she saw that it was actually her junior brother Jiang Lin, whom she had always admired, she felt relieved.

With this relaxation, the desire within her, filled with the aphrodisiac, was ignited like a spark...
