"poison?"

"But I'm immune to all poisons!"

Countless questions flashed through Xu Yuan's mind. His gaze swept around again, and a chill swept over him.

"Where is this place?"

"It looks like a refrigerated truck or a refrigerated container," Rose said, her gaze falling on the bloodstains at her feet. Then she remembered that she seemed to have been stabbed before making a wish.

"Your wound."

Upon hearing the reminder, Xu Yuan looked down at her abdomen.

The wound had stopped bleeding, but it still looked somewhat gruesome.

He wants to curse now, feeling like he's been caught off guard and his life has been turned upside down.

First came the illusion, then the coma. The opponent must be a master, and it was specifically planned to target me.

"Never mind all that, we need to leave now."

Xu Yuan's aura exploded, and the ropes binding his hands and feet instantly snapped.

He untied Rose's ropes, made sure she wasn't hurt, and then took her hand to lead her outside.

Just as I was about to reach the open iron gate, my foot suddenly wobbled.

"It's a shipping container."

Rose spoke up, reminding us, "It looks like we're being hung up. Are they planning to ship us overseas?"

Xu Yuan steadied himself, holding onto Rose, a coldness he had never seen before flashing in his eyes.

Hold on to me.

A word of advice to Rose: With a gentle tap of the wishing sword, open the iron gate before her.

A gust of cold wind mixed with rain swept over them, causing the area to sway back and forth. Just as Rose had said, the container they were in was suspended in mid-air, with a dock full of cruise ships below.

Without further ado, Xu Yuan grabbed Rose's waist and leaped out.

Rose, unaware of what was about to happen, huddled in Xu Yuan's body in terror, too afraid to open her eyes, only feeling the wind whistling past her ears.

Oh no, am I going to die?

Dying with Xu Yuan would actually be quite romantic.

As she thought this, a shiver ran through her body, and she heard Xu Yuan's voice in her ear: "You can open your eyes now."

Rose cautiously opened her eyes and found that they had already landed on the ground.

"I'm not dead?"

Xu Yuan glanced around expressionlessly, but didn't see anyone suspicious.

"Let's leave here first."

After leaving the dock, Xu Yuan flagged down a car on the roadside, first delivering the roses back, and then returning to the hotel alone.

Chen Xiaofang, who had been waiting in the hotel lobby, saw Xu Yuan appear and quickly ran to him.

"Brother Xu, where have you been?"

"Old Huang has been looking for you like crazy."

"Brother Wang, I was worried something had happened to you, so I went out to find out what was going on."

"I'm fine."

Xu Yuan remained calm as he led Chen Xiaofang upstairs to their room.

"Tell Wang Ba to come back quickly, I have something to ask him."

The news of Xu Yuan's return to the hotel quickly reached Huang Laoguai's ears, and Huang Laoguai personally appeared at the hotel with Huang Yiyi.

"Young friend, what exactly happened?"

Old Huang's face was full of worry.

Xu Yuan's sudden disappearance left him very puzzled.

Seeing the old man's worried expression, Xu Yuan didn't hide anything and told him everything about being attacked and then falling into a coma.

After listening, Old Huang thought for a moment and said, "You said you were immune to all poisons, so why were you poisoned and fell into a coma this time?"

"It seems that the poison they used was not the kind of poison we are talking about."

They probably used chemical agents that can cause hallucinations just by inhaling them, even making you unconscious. You'll do whatever they say, and when you wake up, you'll remember nothing.

"There's such a thing?"

Xu Yuan looked on in surprise; he had never heard of such a thing before.

Society is developing too fast; it seems I still know too little, and he was completely unprepared.

"Go find Mr. Shi and have him draw your blood for testing. That should be able to find out."

After Huang gave him a suggestion, Qin turned around and went to make a phone call.

Old Huang continued looking at Xu Yuan: "You said they were very professional in their actions and worked together seamlessly. Can you figure out what their style is?"

Xu Yuan shook his head helplessly: "They first used sniper rifles, with three people working together in a coordinated operation."

Later, I even had hallucinations. It must have been some kind of formation or secret technique, and the person who activated it was nearby; otherwise, I wouldn't have let them succeed.

After listening to Xu Yuan finish speaking, a meaningful look flashed in Old Huang's eyes.

Based on his description, the attack method of three people forming a small team and ten people forming a group sounds somewhat familiar.

The martial arts competition in Pucheng is very skilled at using this tactic.

But why did the martial arts association attack Xu Yuan?

Could it be due to a feng shui problem with the Forbidden City?

For a moment, even Huang Laoguai found it difficult to give an accurate judgment.

He thought it to himself, but he wouldn't say it out loud.

If Xu Yuan is truly angered, he might destroy the Pucheng Martial Arts Association in a fit of rage, just as he destroyed the Mingdai Martial Arts Association, and things would escalate significantly.

The Pucheng Martial Arts Tournament is the second largest martial arts tournament in China, boasting a wealth of experts and resources, far surpassing any small-town tournament.

Shi Tianle brought people to draw blood from Xu Yuan and conduct tests. Just as Huang Lao had guessed, Xu Yuan had fallen into a coma after inhaling chemical agents.

Xu Yuan frowned slightly, feeling the wickedness of this society more and more.

After everyone left, Huang Laoguai chatted with Xu Yuan for a while longer.

Mr. Huang stated that he would definitely find out who did these things.

Returning to the topic, Huang Laoguai once again brought up the issue of the Twin Knife Tower on the Huangpu River.

"The nine pillars are ready."

"Previously, when the roof was capped ahead of schedule, all of Luo Chun's methods failed. Do you have any other solutions?"

Xu Yuan hadn't forgotten his main purpose for coming here.

"It can be resolved naturally."

Xu Yuan was unhappy about being tricked, but he didn't show too much anger.

During my time down the mountain, I offended quite a few people, and it's certain that I'll face retaliation.

We just need to be more cautious from now on.

These people might go to any lengths to get revenge on me.

After discussing with Master Huang, we agreed to go to Pujiang tomorrow to resolve the Double Knife Evil, and then watched Master Huang leave.

Xu Yuan took a shower, changed his clothes, and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the rushing river in the distance.

He could vaguely see the twin blades imprisoned in mid-air, and the silver dragon in the river roaring in terror, as if worried that the twin blades above its head would fall at any moment and cut it in two.

"Could my attack be related to this incident?"

"Is there anyone who doesn't want to dispel this negative energy?"

Xu Yuan recalled everyone he had met since arriving in Pucheng.

He could roughly determine that the group was local.

"Is it because of the Shuangdao Tower in Pujiang, or because of the feng shui problem of the Zijin Palace?"

Did someone deliberately set up a "True Dragon's Bed" trap in the Forbidden City for a specific purpose?

Did you ruin this situation and disrupt someone else's good time?

"Why didn't you just kill me?"

Instead, they're throwing me into a shipping container, like sending me overseas?

A series of questions flashed through Xu Yuan's mind.

Luo Chun, from the Luo family, was recuperating at home after being injured by the previous attack.

Hearing the report from the person outside, he nodded in satisfaction: "Well done, go and collect your reward."

"By the way, we can speed things up regarding the Forbidden Palace."

To avoid any unforeseen complications.
