A bloodthirsty arc curled up on Feng Yuqin's icy lips. "What's going on with these people? Can I kill them?"
Since she wasn't sure about the specific situation, she still had to ask.
A flicker of coldness flashed across Han Luosu's eyes. "They were all on their way to kill Feng Yuqin and the Divine Sword Sect. I overheard them by chance, so they wanted to kill me to silence me."
Since Feng Yuqin was now in disguise, Han Luosu mentioned her name. Feng Yuqin immediately understood that these people were planning to kill her and the Divine Sword Sect.
She couldn't let them go.
The people from the two major sects clearly saw the killing intent in Feng Yuqin's eyes.
An elder from the Soul - Severing Sect was shocked. "Miss, let's talk this over. If you spare our lives, we can offer you a reward. But if you kill us, we weren't joking before. Our sect will definitely hunt you down."
This half - reward, half - threat tone only intensified the coldness in Feng Yuqin's eyes.
"Really?" Feng Yuqin raised her hand, and everyone saw several kinds of poison powder appear in her hand. "By the time your sect comes after me, you'll all be dead. So, feel free to come and try."
Seeing this, Han Luosu immediately told the Han family members who had taken the antidote to retreat.
The next moment, all the poison in Feng Yuqin's hand landed on these people.
The people from the two major sects thought that after they said those words, Feng Yuqin would never kill them.
But they never expected that she really dared to do so.
"How... dare you?" An elder from the Soul - Severing Sect stared at Feng Yuqin in disbelief. Before he could finish his sentence, he breathed his last.
The others wanted to say something, but they didn't know what to say.
Feng Yuqin's actions had shocked them too much.
She had poisoned them so cleanly with a deadly poison.
Those with lower strength than the elders died almost instantly.
They were actually lucky.
After all, they were only two alleys away from the bustling downtown area. She was worried that if things dragged on, others might notice.
If it were any other time, she wouldn't have let them die so easily.
It was one thing for them to plot against her, but it was another for them to set their sights on the Divine Sword Sect.
Feng Yuqin didn't even need to guess.
If these people had succeeded, the Divine Sword Sect would have suffered an innocent disaster because of her.
"Really... just kill them like this?" The people from the Han family didn't expect Feng Yuqin to be so decisive.
They didn't know Feng Yuqin, so they were unaware of her true identity.
But they could tell that their young master knew this woman.
"Should we keep them alive to fight back?" Han Luosu retorted calmly.
The experts from the Han family fell silent.
Yes, if it weren't for Feng Yuqin today, their lives would have been lost here.
"You should leave first. I'll handle this." Han Luosu looked at Feng Yuqin. "I'll come to find you later."
Feng Yuqin looked at Han Luosu with a half - smile. "So, you're planning to take the blame for killing these two sects on yourself?"
Han Luosu: "..."
He didn't expect Feng Yuqin to guess his thoughts so quickly.
Feng Yuqin pointed at the poison. "I developed these poisons myself. Your Han family doesn't have them. So, even if the two sects find out that you had contact with their people, they won't suspect you."
"You're underestimating these two sects." Han Luosu said. "If they can't figure out who poisoned their people, they'll definitely blame the Han family."
This was why Han Luosu asked Feng Yuqin to leave.
As long as she left, the matter of the dead from the two sects wouldn't be traced back to her.
But would Feng Yuqin leave?
Of course not.
Moreover, she couldn't let the two sects get away with plotting against her and the Divine Sword Sect.
So, even if the two sects didn't come after her, she would go after them.
Feng Yuqin scanned the surroundings. "It's not safe to stay here. Let's find another place to talk."
"My Han family has business in Tianyao Continent. I'll take you there. We can talk without being overheard." Han Luosu looked at Feng Yuqin inquiringly.
Feng Yuqin nodded. "Okay."
...
"Mrs. Mo, actually, what I heard from the Soul - Severing Sect and the Moon - Snatching Sect today is that it's not just these two sects. There are other sects and forces planning to deal with you." Han Luosu sighed when he remembered. "How did you offend them? The leader is the Star - Fall Palace."
"To be precise, it's the people behind them who are causing me trouble." Feng Yuqin was also helpless.
No matter where she was, the people from the Divine Realm would always come after her.
In this situation, how could she represent the Divine Sword Sect in the martial arts competition?
Wouldn't that just bring more trouble to the sect?
Although she was reluctant to give up, for the safety of the Divine Sword Sect, she decided to send a message to the sect master later and ask for someone else to participate in the competition.
"Is there really someone behind them?" Han Luosu was shocked. "I suspected it before because the Star - Fall Palace has been acting too high - profile this time."
"Isn't the Star - Fall Palace always high - profile?" Feng Yuqin raised her eyebrows. "Judging from Situ Zihan's arrogant behavior, I don't think their sect is low - key at all."
They were the weakest among the four major forces, but they were still so high - profile. If they got any more high - profile, would they fly to the sky?
"It's different from before." Han Luosu didn't know who was behind the Star - Fall Palace, but he could tell that Feng Yuqin knew. So, he told her what he had learned.
"The Star - Fall Palace used to be afraid of the All - World Alliance. At least the leader of the All - World Alliance could keep them in check. But this time, even the All - World Alliance can't control them. Moreover, the strength of the Star - Fall Palace has greatly improved recently. Ming Zilin, the young master of the Nether Palace, had a fight with Situ Zihan yesterday."
"Situ Zihan should be no match for Ming Zilin. But she wouldn't let herself suffer. She must have asked the experts around her for help." Based on Feng Yuqin's understanding of Situ Zihan, this woman always wanted to be in the upper hand.
"You're right. After a few moves, Situ Zihan asked the people around her to attack." Han Luosu remembered Situ Zihan's arrogant look and guessed that the person behind them might be very powerful.
But his Han family had investigated and found very little useful information.
