Outside the forest!
Feng Yun, who had used the Communication Jade Talisman to contact Lin Jiang and the others again, nodded solemnly at Jiang Yan's speculation.
"Vice Pavilion Master Jiang, I'm afraid that Lin Jiang and the others might have met with mishap as you have guessed."
At this point, Feng Yun muttered to himself with a doubtful look on his face.
"That's not right!"
"With Lin Jiang and the others' strength, even if they encountered an expert at the peak of the ninth grade Martial Saint, it would be impossible for there to be no fluctuations of Spirit and Yuan Qi at all."
"Elder Feng, are you saying that there might be dangers hidden in this forest that even an expert at the peak of the ninth grade Martial Saint would find difficult to deal with?" Feng Yun's muttering made Jiang Yan suddenly think of a terrifying possibility. She asked with a panicked expression.
"No!"
Feng Yun shook his head and said bitterly.
"Vice Pavilion Master Jiang, this forest is only a thousand and four hundred kilometers away from Xianyang City."
"If there were dangers in this forest that could threaten an expert at the peak of the ninth grade Martial Saint realm, with Emperor Qin's cautious personality, even if he couldn't get rid of this forest, he would have sent people to guard it day and night."
"Then what did you mean just now?" Jiang Yan, who was eager to know the answer, asked.
"To be able to silently eliminate three Martial Saints and fifteen Martial Monarchs, the difference in strength between the two sides must be very large."
"With Lin Jiang's cultivation at the peak of the third grade Martial Saint realm, only an expert at the Martial Exalt realm or above would be able to do so."
"However, such a situation is impossible."
"Putting aside the fact that experts at the Martial Exalt realm and above are basically in seclusion, even if a Martial Exalt really came out, he wouldn't need to use this forest to deal with Lin Jiang and the others, nor would he need to conceal the fluctuations of Spirit and Yuan Qi at all."
At this point, Feng Yun took a deep breath and continued with a gloomy look on his face.
"Therefore, I suspect that the real reason Lin Jiang and the others were silently killed might be because there was something wrong with the antidote that Yu Haoran provided."
"Elder Feng, your speculation makes a lot of sense."
After hearing Feng Yun's speculation, Jiang Yan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Furthermore, I suspect that the antidote that Yu Haoran provided to our Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion is only temporarily suppressing the Beauty Snake's poison in our bodies. Through some special means, he can reactivate the Beauty Snake's poison to harm us."
"That's right. It's very likely that Yu Haoran used this method to quietly get rid of Lin Jiang and the others." Feng Yun nodded and looked at the silent forest before him with a trace of fear in his eyes.
"Yu Haoran, that old man surnamed Feng has already guessed that there's something wrong with your antidote!" Thaling, who had been using his Divine Sense to monitor Jiang Yan and Feng Yun, quickly reminded them after hearing Feng Yun's speculation.
Although he had only recovered seventy percent of his Yuan Qi and not even ten percent of his lost blood essence, Yu Haoran decided to immediately leave the forest and get rid of them in order to prevent Feng Yun and Jiang Yan, who had already guessed that there was something wrong with the antidote, from leaving the forest.
When Yu Haoran was less than ten meters away from the edge of the forest and began to form seals with his hands, intending to use the seals to activate the poison in Jiang Yan and Feng Yun's antidote, Thaling suddenly stopped him.
"Yu Haoran, wait a moment!"
"Thaling, what's wrong?" Yu Haoran asked without stopping his hand seals.
"A mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, has come!" Thaling said gravely.
"Meng Sheng!"
Other than the Third Prince Qin Tianyi, the only other person who could make Thaling feel pressured was Meng Sheng from the Meng Family.
After all, the Meng Family was the number one family in the Great Emperor Qin's Kingdom. Not only did their overall strength not lose to a first-rate sect, but the strength of their top experts was also something that even Emperor Qin, who had reached the peak of the Ninth Grade Martial Saint realm, feared.
This was also one of the important reasons why Meng Sheng dared to bid against Qin Tianyi at the Hidden Art Pavilion's auction house.
"That's right, it's that brat!"
Thaling nodded and asked worriedly.
"Yu Haoran, how do you plan to deal with Meng Sheng?"
"Thaling, have you forgotten my lawless nature?"
Yu Haoran said with a murderous look as he looked at the cloudless sky through the gaps in the leaves above his head.
"Not to mention Meng Sheng, even if the person who came today was Qin Tianyi, I would still kill him!"
Although he already knew Yu Haoran's thoughts, after hearing his determination to kill Meng Sheng, Thaling couldn't help but sigh.
He kindly saved your life, but not only did you not know how to be grateful, you even wanted to destroy Yu Haoran's refining of the Five Lives Profound Gate Pill. This was simply repaying kindness with enmity.
Even so, Yu Haoran didn't take advantage of Emperor Qin's high opinion of him to take the initiative to find trouble with you.
But what about you, Meng Sheng!
Not only did you not know how to restrain yourself, you even secretly followed and planned to kill Yu Haoran halfway.
In the face of Meng Sheng's repeated provocations, the Pagoda Spirit also wanted to kill him.
However, for Yu Haoran's safety, he couldn't do so.
This was because when Yu Haoran had concocted the Five Lives Profound Gate Pill and summoned the thunder and lightning tribulation, among the peak Martial Saint experts, other than the Qin Emperor and Prince Yi Feng who had similarly reached the peak of the ninth grade Martial Saint realm, there was also an expert whose aura did not lose out to the Qin Emperor in the slightest.
This was also the main reason why he didn't help Hei Xiong when he saw his paw being destroyed by Qin Tianyi.
Moreover, after that, Thaling discovered that the expert whose aura didn't lose to Emperor Qin had returned to the Meng Family.
The peak Martial Saint's cultivation was completely different from that of a peak Martial Saint's cultivation.
This was because the peak Martial Saint's cultivation was also called a quasi-Martial Saint. It was a profound realm that surpassed the Martial Saint realm, but wasn't a Martial Saint.
When one's cultivation reached the quasi-Martial Saint realm, they could completely look down on all experts below the Martial Saint realm. Even if there were ten or twenty peak Martial Saints, they wouldn't be a match for a quasi-Martial Saint expert even if they joined forces.
It was because the Meng Family had a quasi-Martial Saint expert that Thaling had been suppressing the killing intent in his heart.
Otherwise, how could he, who also had a lawless personality, tolerate Meng Sheng's repeated provocations towards Yu Haoran?
After expressing his attitude to Thaling, Yu Haoran quietly imprinted the two seals he had just formed into Jiang Yan and Feng Yun's bodies. Then, he started forming seals again. Through the seals he formed, he found the exact location where Meng Sheng was hiding.
"Yu Haoran, can you spare Meng Sheng's life?"
