63: The City Lord's Mansion, where Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and a new conspiracy!

After entering the City Lord's Mansion, Chen Yi saw servants and maidservants everywhere.

There was also an old butler who looked to be sixty or seventy years old.

Hmm.

This old butler's Realm surprisingly reached the Purple Mansion Realm!

Good, good, good.

A mere City Lord's Mansion, yet it truly hides crouching tigers and hidden dragons.

Chen Yi was very curious about what other existences were hidden within this City Lord's Mansion!

"Daddy."

At this moment, a voice like a nightingale's song came, and then a young girl in a goose-yellow dress came running over.

Upon seeing City Lord Xia, she curtsied gracefully.

When she saw Chen Yi, a hint of surprise appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"Daddy, this Young Master is..."

It was her first time seeing such a handsome man, and she couldn't help but be incredibly curious.

"Heh, this is Saint Chen Yi from Yuhua Sect. He just killed a fox demon at the Nascent Soul Realm today, so his strength is extraordinary! Yan'er, you should learn from him in the future." City Lord Xia said with a smile.

Chen Yi's eyes flickered slightly.

He remembered that he had not mentioned Bai Jing's Realm.

And Bai Jing had not condensed a Nascent Soul Dharma Idol, so unless one was familiar with her or had witnessed his battle with Bai Jing, how could they know her Realm?

Chen Yi glanced at City Lord Xia, but remained calm, pretending not to notice, while City Lord Xia continued to speak to Chen Yi: "Young Master Chen, this is my daughter, Summer Banquet. She is currently at the Golden Core Realm. Although her talent cannot compare to yours, it is still quite good. If you have time, you two can spar."

"Hmm." Chen Yi nodded slightly, "As long as you're not afraid of pain."

"Haha, Young Master is joking. If a Martial Artist is afraid of a little pain, then what's the point of cultivating?" City Lord Xia laughed.

And Summer Banquet also said: "Young Master, don't underestimate me. I think it's better to strike while the iron is hot. How about we spar today?"

"Good."

Chen Yi did not refuse.

The two went to the courtyard and began to spar.

City Lord Xia smiled and said: "I'll go handle some official business first, Butler, you watch here. Whatever Young Master Chen needs, you must satisfy him."

He instructed the butler beside him a few words.

"Yes."

In the garden.

Summer Banquet took out a long whip and lashed it towards Chen Yi.

The whip's power was strong, like lightning.

But Chen Yi knew the Phantom Shadow Movement Technique, and easily dodged it, then came before Summer Banquet and threw a punch.

The other party raised a hand to block, but was still hit in the eye socket.

Her eye instantly became bruised.

She grimaced in pain.

Chen Yi stood with his hands behind his back and said: "Your whip technique is good, but it's not flexible enough. Once an enemy gets close, the whip technique cannot be fully utilized. In my opinion, besides whip technique, you should also learn a close-combat martial art.

Such as fist techniques or palm techniques!"

Summer Banquet was a little unconvinced, "Continue!"

She continued to attack.

But she still couldn't do anything to Chen Yi. Gradually, she became more and more agitated, and her attacks became a bit more vicious. Some of her Moves were already considered killing Moves.

Chen Yi frowned slightly. A Young Miss's temper?

He naturally wouldn't indulge her.

After dodging, he closed in and gave her a few punches.

The other party cried out in pain repeatedly.

She even started crying.

.........

City Lord Xia came to a study and closed the door.

He even took out a Talisman and affixed it to the door, forming a barrier that blocked sound and Divine Sense prying!

And inside the study, there was a middle-aged man, who was none other than Xie Yun, the Grand Elder of the Thousand Poisons Sect, who had recently collaborated with Bai Jing to harm Chen Yi but failed!

"Xie Yun, your plan not only failed, but you even caused Bai Jing's death. Why are you coming to me now?"

City Lord Xia looked at Xie Yun and snorted lightly.

"I've come to cooperate with you!"

"What do you mean?"

"Aren't you holding a treasure appreciation convention tomorrow? At that time, I will give you a poison, and you mix it into the wine, letting others drink it. Then I will personally lead people to wipe out all the heads of these prominent families in Phoenix Glow City, and you can take all their wealth and territory into your possession!

As for me, I only want the demon king token on Chen Yi! And him!"

Xie Yun said calmly.

"I can understand you wanting the demon king token, but what do you want him for?"

"He has the Pure Yang Body, which is a rare treasure for the Bu Yin Sect, seen only once in a thousand years. I can use him to make some deals with the Bu Yin Sect. Also, Bai Jing collaborated with me this time but died, so I naturally have to find a way to apologize."

City Lord Xia heard this and pondered.

But then, he said calmly: "You collaborated with Bai Jing, but you failed. How do you think this time will succeed?"

"Precisely because Bai Jing failed, with the experience from last time, this time it will definitely be foolproof!" Xie Yun said.

Then he took out a red pill, "This item is called the Seven Flower Seven Insect Pill! It is a poison I created by improving upon my Thousand Poisons Sect's unique poison, the Seven Flower Pill, a Fusion of seven poisonous flowers and seven poisonous insects!

Chen Yi was poisoned by the Seven Flower Pill last time but was fine. It's possible he encountered a Martial Artist from my Thousand Poisons Sect and got an antidote from them, or he might have some Advanced antidote pill on him!

But this Seven Flower Seven Insect Pill is different!

Because even I don't have an antidote for this poison pill! Anyone, including a Celestial Human Realm expert, who takes it will surely die!!

I don't believe Chen Yi can survive after being poisoned by this!"

Xie Yun's eyes showed a hint of determination.

City Lord Xia pondered for a moment, "What if it fails?"

"As long as you ensure Chen Yi takes this poison pill, it's impossible to fail! If it fails... I will never touch the Dao of poison again!"

Xie Yun said confidently.

As the Grand Elder of the Thousand Poisons Sect, it was absolutely impossible for him to fail twice in a row at poisoning the same person!

If such a thing really happened, he would be too incompetent!

"I'm only responsible for administering the poison. As for the rest, I won't get involved!"

City Lord Xia said calmly.

Xie Yun heard this and chuckled: "Don't worry, you just need to administer the poison. I'll handle the rest. By then, you will still be the esteemed City Lord of Phoenix Glow City, admired by tens of thousands!

Heh, who would have thought that the City Lord of Phoenix Glow City, under his bright and upright facade, is actually an Elder of the Demonic Path's Blood Origin Sect?"

"Hmph, the Righteous Path calls us the Demonic Path and shouts for our extermination whenever they encounter us, but I refuse to accept it. I will live openly and honorably right under their noses!" City Lord Xia snorted lightly.

"You're right. Once we gather the demon king token, the resurgence of our Demonic Path will be just around the corner. By then, unifying Qingluo Province, every Demonic Path individual can walk openly under the sun!"

Xie Yun's eyes showed a hint of longing.

And at this moment.

A knock came from outside the door.

Xie Yun immediately hid.

City Lord Xia put away the Talisman on the door and opened it.

"Who is it?"

What came into view was a bruised and swollen face.

It was his daughter, Summer Banquet.

"Yan'er, you, what happened to you?"

"Daddy, it's all that Chen Yi! He's too much! He said he was sparring with me, but he beat me up like this! Daddy, please help me capture him. I want to whip him a hundred times with the Blood Soul Whip! Torture him slowly, okay?"

Summer Banquet's eyes showed a hint of resentment.
