Chat group: All my group members are in the villain camp

"Please enjoy yourselves to the fullest. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask. The entire Xuanhuang Sect will treat you with utmost sincerity!"

No sooner had the words been spoken than the palace doors were suddenly pushed open.

A tall figure in a black robe and mask stepped in.

"I am Mingxie, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect. Elder Ning has extended such a warm invitation; how could I possibly refuse?"

The newcomer raised his glass with great gusto and said loudly:

"Today is a fine day, a perfect time for drinking and conversation. Please, everyone, don't be shy, let's drink to our hearts' content!"

Upon hearing this, the guests present all stood up and bowed to him.

"Greetings, Master!" "Master's domineering aura is truly well-deserved!"

He showered her with compliments and flattery, but Scorpio simply smiled faintly.

"You flatter me. The Five Poisons Sect is nothing more than a group of rogue cultivators in the martial arts world."

"My actions today are merely to seek guidance from Elder Ning. I hope you will all grant me some face and be understanding."

He bowed humbly to the ground, but could not hide the arrogance in his words.

Upon seeing this, Ning Xuan hurriedly stepped forward, his face beaming with smiles.

"You flatter me, Master. It is my great honor to have the opportunity to meet someone of your stature."

"Please take your seats and let us have a good drink to show our hospitality."

The Scorpion nodded and strode towards the head of the table.

Meanwhile, Ye Ming, hidden in the shadows, narrowed his eyes.

"That old fox Ning Xuan is definitely up to no good. Judging from his face, he's clearly after the Fire Jade."

Ye Ming thought to himself, a cold smile creeping onto his lips.

"Fine, go ahead and scheme. In the end, I'll be the one laughing last!"

He took a deep breath and quietly pressed the chat jade talisman in his pocket.

It's time for this show to officially begin.

Ye Ming's eyes were cold, and he sneered inwardly.

He wanted to make the Xuanhuang Sect and the Five Poisons Sect fight each other so he could reap the benefits.

At this moment, the banquet hall was bustling with guests, who were chatting and laughing.

Ning Xuan and Ming Xie chatted and laughed, seemingly amicable, but their conversation was actually full of hidden wit and cunning.

The two exchanged barbs, their words sharp and direct, their attacks both overt and covert.

[Jiang Tong (Naruto World): Watch out, Brother Ye! These two are no pushovers!]

[Sun Qianqian (Fengshen World): Exactly! They're all after the Fire Jade! You'd better be careful!]

Ye Ming smiled slightly, indicating that he could rest assured.

He had plenty of patience, waiting for both sides to demonstrate their abilities so he could profit from the situation.

Now, as the banquet progresses, the real competition is also getting more intense.

The Scorpion kept raising his cup, getting Ning Xuan drunk.

"Master, you have an impressive capacity for alcohol! I humbly admit defeat!"

Ning Xuan blushed and burped, seemingly already exhausted.

The Scorpion remained calm, though a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"Elder Ning, you flatter me. It's just a few cups, nothing at all."

"It is this bottle of fine wine that your father gifted me that has truly impressed me."

He mentioned it seemingly casually, yet every word he uttered was profound and insightful.

Ning Xuan was taken aback upon hearing this, and his drunkenness vanished instantly.

This wine...it's definitely not right!

"Huh? What father? I remember being an orphan..."

He realized he was in trouble and quickly tried to smooth things over.

But before he could finish speaking, Scorpion suddenly stood up.

"Elder Ning, why be so modest? Your father is a master of our time. He must have been hiding his true abilities by leaving behind such a precious wine."

"How about I offer you a drink to express my admiration?"

His tone was sincere, and his expression was earnest.

The crowd in the hall joined in the commotion, surrounding Ning Xuan and leaving him nowhere to hide.

Ning Xuan cursed inwardly, but could only force a smile and agree.

He feigned delight, took out the jade pot, filled two cups, and handed them to the Dark Scorpion.

"Master has a good eye. This wine may be insignificant, but it does have some spiritual energy."

"Let me have a few drinks with you and reminisce about old times in the martial arts world."

As he spoke, he raised his glass, as if to drink together.

A glint flashed in the eyes of the Scorpion, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"That's exactly what I'd like! Let's drink until we're completely drunk!"

He is sharp-tongued and has an extraordinary demeanor.

The guests all turned their heads and looked at this "Five Poisons Cult Leader" with new respect.

Only Ye Ming watched coldly from the shadows, pondering to himself.

Interesting, these two old foxes are quite in sync.

One side feigned indifference to lure the prey, while the other side turned the tables on him.

This game of chess looks like it's getting more and more exciting!

[Chu Yanran (Tomb Raider World): These two old foxes are not easy to deal with! Little Yezi, you'd better watch out!]

[Zhang Dapao (Biohazard World): Exactly! Don't be fooled by their fierce battle; they might team up to sabotage you at any moment!]

Ye Ming simply smiled, not taking it to heart at all.

"Don't worry, everyone. It's just a cat-and-mouse game; we're not sure who the hunter will be yet."

"As long as we let them wear each other down and kill each other, in the end I'll still be in control, won't I?"

His words impressed everyone, and they all agreed.

[Cao Xiaoman (Zombie World): Little Yezi is really amazing! I admire your courage!]

[Jiang Tong (Naruto World): Brother Ye, your strategy is truly remarkable, I admire you! I hope you achieve your goal and win a great victory!]

Ye Ming laughed loudly, his heroic spirit soaring to the heavens.

"Hahaha, thank you for your kindness! If I, Ye, cannot win today, I swear I am not worthy of being called a man!"

"Xuanhuang Sect, Five Poisons Sect, go ahead and fight to your heart's content!"

"In the end, I, Ye Ming, will definitely be the one laughing last!"

"Come, come, let me toast the leader again!"

Ning Xuan raised his glass in greeting, his face beaming with a smile.

The Scorpion was not to be outdone and drank it all in one gulp.

"Elder Ning, you're in high spirits! I'll have another cup, and we'll drink to our hearts' content!"

He speaks frankly and acts with ease.

After a glass of wine, the two chatted and laughed, as if they were best friends who had met too late in life.

Every guest present could see the tension in their eyes; a single spark could ignite a full-blown war.

Ye Ming sneered inwardly, his eyes filled with malice.

Let them keep their schemes and plots against each other.

When it comes to the crucial moment, it will definitely be Ye Ming who calls the shots!

[Sun Qianqian (Fengshen World): Little Yezi, when are we going to make our move?]

[Zhang Dapao (Biohazard World): Exactly! If we don't act soon, those two might actually team up!]

[Jiang Tong (Naruto World): Brother Ye, consider the bigger picture. I think these two have a backup plan; let's wait and see.]

Ye Ming nodded silently, his eyes flickering.

"We still need definitive evidence."

"Only by leaving no loopholes can one remain invincible."

Just then, Scorpion suddenly changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, I have a treasure that is somewhat similar to the Fire Jade in Elder Ning's possession."

"I wonder if this counts as fate? How about we switch places, and we can become friends?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked.

Ning Xuan's expression changed drastically, and he cursed the old fox inwardly.

"This... I'm afraid I can't bear the responsibility. The Fire Jade is of utmost importance; how can I easily show it to others?"

He forced a bitter smile, secretly plotting his escape.

But would the Scorpion of the Underworld let it go so easily?

"Elder Ning, you're too kind. Since I took the initiative to offer this, I have no intention of going back on my word."

"Does this meet your approval?"

As he spoke, he pulled something out of his pocket, which turned out to be an ancient and worn jade pendant!

The crowd crowded around, marveling at the sight.

"This...this is the legendary Five Poisons Sect's supreme treasure, the Heartbreak Gu?"

"My God! This is a once-in-a-millennium event! Sect Leader Ning is going to be rich!"

The discussion was immediately abuzz, and the guests were filled with envy.

Ning Xuan, however, was sweating profusely and inwardly cried out that something was wrong.

This is a huge mess!

If we can't produce the Fire Jade, wouldn't we be at a disadvantage?

But if I actually take it out, what if I fall into a switcheroo trap...?

Caught in a dilemma, unable to move forward or backward.

Ning Xuan's forehead veins bulged, and he forced a smile.

"Your Excellency is truly a master. How could I, an old man, dare to presume to teach you such a precious treasure?"

"However, that Fire Jade is no ordinary item. If we are to exchange it, we need to consider this carefully."

His words were evasive, clearly he was playing coy.

However, the Scorpion persisted relentlessly, pressing closer and closer.
