Chapter 189 Everyone knows I don't keep my word.

The Purple Blood Palm, as a secret technique of the Red Lotus Lineage, possessed terrifying power.

It was a palm technique that compressed Qi and blood to the extreme, then propelled it with True Essence and Divine Sense.

"Good!"

With a single palm strike, the falling snow across the sky was swept away, causing Qu Hong to shout in approval.

With this palm, the Fifth Elder had already performed beyond his limits.

As an expert at the Middle Stage of the Mountain Shaking Realm, the Fifth Elder, Pang Daxing, might not have been famous in the Jianghu, but his strength was definitely not weak.

Perhaps because the pressure brought by Yan Chu was significant, Pang Daxing had been gathering his strength, and now he had finally released it.

Qu Hong felt a bit expectant.

Even if this palm could not kill Yan Chu, it would make him wary.

Yao Chuan and Zhu Qiming's faces turned pale.

They had heard of the power of the Fifth Elder's Purple Blood Palm.

But they remembered that night at Qiushui Villa, the Chief Helmsman had also displayed such grand momentum, yet was ultimately killed in a single move.

Therefore, the two of them suppressed their fear and did not move.

Pfft, pfft, pfft!

The next second, palms and fingers met, and True Essence surged.

The grand Purple Blood Palm, like a punctured sieve, was instantly shattered before the thousands of Three-Point Divine Finger beams, with countless finger shadows pouring down.

"What?"

The Fifth Elder, Pang Daxing, was dumbfounded and hurriedly shouted:

"Let's talk this—Pfft!"

Before he could finish his words, he was submerged in the countless finger shadows and blasted into a mist of blood.

【Killed a Supreme Grandmaster of the Holy Lotus Sect, feeling extremely gratified, EXP + 50000】

Gulp!

Zhu Qiming and Yao Chuan swallowed hard, looked at each other, and felt this scene was somewhat familiar.

It was as if a past scene had replayed.

Thump!

"Great Hero Yan, spare my life! I am willing to hand over the antidote!"

Qu Hong's face was splattered with blood from the explosion, but he didn't care to wipe it off; he knelt down in a second and begged for mercy.

He could see that Yan Chu didn't take their Holy Lotus Sect seriously at all; he killed a Supreme Grandmaster just like that.

The Fifth Elder was also one of the top experts in the Red Lotus Lineage, yet he couldn't even take a single move from Yan Chu; what trash!

Yan Chu shook his head and said:

"Looking at how arrogant you were just now, I thought you were someone who would rather break than bend!"

"I didn't expect you to be such a spineless coward!"

Qu Hong's expression froze, and he smiled obsequiously:

"If I bring out the antidote, can Great Hero Yan spare my life?"

"Good! I promise you!" Yan Chu nodded.

Qu Hong's eyes lit up with joy; he hesitated for a moment and nodded:

"I believe that Great Hero Yan is world-renowned and not the type of person to go back on his word."

After speaking, he slowly took out a medicine bottle from his bosom and said:

"This is the antidote for the seven worm heart-corroding pill. After taking it, the poison can be completely removed, and you will never need to take medicine regularly again."

Yan Chu raised his hand, summoned the medicine bottle, poured out two pills, and threw them to Yao Chuan and his companion.

"Thank you, Young Master!"

The two were overjoyed, hurriedly took the Medicinal Pill, and began to close their eyes to sense the effect.

A moment later, they opened their eyes and said with great joy:

"It's really cured!"

The seven worm heart-corroding pill was a poisonous pill refined from seven types of Gu, residing deep in the heart and lungs. Only by taking the antidote regularly could the seven types of Gu be made to fall into a deep sleep.

If one did not take the medicine for a long time, the Gu would wake up and quickly devour the heart and lungs of the poisoned person.

Moreover, these seven types of Gu were extremely sensitive to True Essence and Divine Sense.

Even the slightest stimulation would cause the Gu to wake up immediately.

But now, after taking the antidote Qu Hong produced, they could sense that the seven types of Gu residing in their bodies had been completely killed.

They no longer had to live in fear every day.

Therefore, their gratitude toward Yan Chu was sincere.

"Thank you, Young Master, for your grace in curing the poison. From now on, we will follow the lead of you and our Master!"

Yan Chu nodded calmly and looked at Qu Hong again.

The other party's heart skipped a beat, and he forced a smile:

"Great Hero Yan, you promised to spare my life!"

"You wouldn't want the Jianghu to say that you are a person who goes back on your word, right?"

Yan Chu's expression was innocent as he spread his hands:

"Friends in the Jianghu all know that my word has never counted!"

Pfft!

Shen Zuirong had not said a word since she arrived, and at this moment, she couldn't help but cover her lips and chuckle.

Damn it!

Qu Hong cursed inwardly. He didn't care to look at Shen Zuirong's beautiful smile; he instantly sprang up and turned into a streak of blood-red light, fleeing wildly into the distance.

I thought only cultists like me would go back on their word.

I didn't expect a thick-browed, big-eyed guy like you to also be someone who doesn't keep his word!

How shameless!

"Can you escape?"

Yan Chu pointed his finger again.

Pfft!

Qu Hong, who had just fled several hundred meters, exploded into a mist of blood in mid-air, scattering downward with the heavy snow.

【Killed a Great Grandmaster of the Holy Lotus Sect, feeling extremely gratified, EXP + 30000】

Yan Chu withdrew his hand, his expression neither sad nor happy, and instructed:

"Work hard in the future; there is a possibility that you might advance to Great Grandmaster in the future!"

"Yes!"

Yao Chuan and his companion cupped their fists in response.

Song Xingwu's cultivation was previously lower than theirs, but after being guided and gifted resources by Yan Chu these days, he was now in seclusion, attempting a Breakthrough to Great Grandmaster.

If they served Shen Zuirong well and became a hidden force of the World Society, they would indeed have the opportunity to receive rewards and guidance in the future to Breakthrough in their Realm.

"Young Master!"

Zhu Qiming spoke up at this moment:

"The Saints and Saintesses of the Holy Lotus Sect all have Life Lamps left in the main sect. Once they die, the main sect will surely know."

"I am afraid someone will come to Cangzhou Prefecture before long to investigate the cause of Qu Hong's death."

"Oh? There's such a good thing?"

Yan Chu asked with a smile:

"What level of expert do you think they will send? Are there any Heaven Realm experts?"

As a secret sect with a Legacy spanning thousands of years, the Holy Lotus Sect must have Heaven Realm experts.

If they really sent a Heaven Realm expert, Yan Chu would have to temporarily avoid their edge.

But if it was just a Supreme Grandmaster, it would purely be them delivering EXP to him.

"This..."

Zhu Qiming pondered:

"As far as I know, only the Saint Lords of the three lineages in the Holy Lotus Sect are Heaven Realm experts, and the location of the main sect is mysterious. In order to avoid external investigation, they rarely appear in the world."

"If they want to investigate the cause of Qu Hong's death, it should be the Red Lotus Lineage that sends someone, but the Saint Lord will definitely not take action personally."

"It is highly probable that it will be the Grand Elder or the Second Elder of the Red Lotus Lineage. Both of them are at the Peak of the Ninth Realm and can already solve most troubles."

"Good!"

Yan Chu clapped his hands and laughed:

"Then keep an eye on things at all times; if you discover traces of unfamiliar Holy Lotus Sect members, notify me immediately."

"Remember, do not act rashly!"

"Yes!"

The last reminder moved Yao Chuan and his companion, as they thought Yan Chu was worried about their safety, when in reality, he was simply afraid of having his EXP stolen.

...

At the very moment Qu Hong died, in a dim and deep hall.

In the center of the hall, there was a high platform with more than ten candle flames burning above it.

These were the Life Lamps of the Holy Lotus Sect.

Each Life Lamp was made using extremely precious Materials, which were extremely rare even within the Holy Lotus Sect, so only the various Saints, Saintesses, and Heaven Realm experts had exclusive Life Lamps.

Even a Supreme Grandmaster did not have this qualification.

A wisp of the Life Lamp owner's vitality was intercepted and left within the lamp flame.

If the person does not die, the lamp will not go out!

But today, the Life Lamp belonging to the Saint, Qu Hong, suddenly went out. A gust of eerie wind blew through the hall, and the other Life Lamps began to flicker together, becoming dim and unstable.
