"A feast …"
Qing Wan frowned. She wanted to decline but couldn't.
After all, the strong man was the leader of the forest. She had to give him some face.
Qing Wan smiled faintly and said, "Okay."
Hearing this, the sturdy man laughed. Ling Xian frowned.
He glared at the strong man, "You don't mind having one more person, do you?"
"Haha, of course not. Follow me."
The muscular man laughed heartily and strode towards the east.
Ling Xian and Qing Wan followed closely.
Half an hour later, the Xiong Sha Tribe appeared before the two of them.
This tribe was vast and grand, equivalent to 10 Wu Qing Tribes. Qing Wan revealed a look of jealousy.
"There is no need to be jealous. You are already a fifth level cultivator. It is easy for you to grow the Wu Qing Tribe to this scale." Ling Xian grinned.
"That's right. If you want to, becoming the leader of the forest is not difficult."
The strong man smiled and walked into the guest hall. He poured Qing Wan a cup of wine.
This made Ling Xian frown. It wasn't that the man didn't pour him wine, it was that the wine was poisoned.
To him, this poison was nothing. Even if he drank an entire jug of wine, it wouldn't be a threat.
But to Qing Wan, this was a lethal poison.
"This feast is not a good one."
Ling Xian's expression turned cold but he didn't warn Qing Wan.
Qing Wan was pure and naive. He wanted to use this opportunity to teach her how evil people can be.
"The new generation surpasses the old. At such a young age, you have reached the fifth level. I am so ashamed."
The strong man exclaimed and raised his cup, "Let me propose a toast to you."
Then, he drained the wine in his cup without leaving a single drop.
Then, the man looked at Qing Wan with a smile. His eyes were full of anticipation.
"You are flattering me. Even though I have reached the fifth level, I am only at the beginning. How can I compare to you?"
Qing Wan smiled humbly. Without a trace of doubt, she drained the wine in her cup.
This made the man's smile even brighter. He shifted his gaze towards Ling Xian, "Are you not going to drink?"
"How can I miss such good wine?" Ling Xian grinned and drained the wine in his cup.
"You really can't miss it. Haha."
Seeing that Ling Xian also drank the poisoned wine, the man laughed brightly and no longer worried.
After that, he looked at Qing Wan and teased, "As expected of an inexperienced little girl, you don't have any wariness at all."
Hearing this, Qing Wan was stunned. She did not understand why the man would say such impolite words.
"Looks like I've overestimated you. Even if I don't use poison, you're still not my match."
The man sat calmly on the chair and crossed his legs. His eyes were filled with ridicule.
"Poison?"
Qing Wan's expression changed as she said, "You poisoned the wine?"
"You're really stupid to have reacted so late."
The man smiled playfully, not in a hurry to deal with Qingwan.
In his opinion, Qing Wan was like a turtle in a jar, unable to cause any waves.
"I have no enmity with you, why are you doing this?" Qing Wan's pretty face turned cold, and she immediately circulated the Three Pure Ones Heavenly Art to expel the poison.
Unfortunately, this poison was extremely strange. Forget about expelling it, she couldn't find it at all.
"You are far too naïve. In this world, enemies don't only appear because of hatred."
The man laughed mockingly, "There are two reasons why I am fighting you. One, you have violated my interests. Two, you have a fortune."
"I never wanted to fight with you over anything." Qing Wan's face was cold.
"It's not about whether or not you want to fight. As long as you are alive, my position as the leader will be shaken."
"Only when you are dead can I rest easy."
The man erased his smile, "Alright, it's time for you to go."
Hearing this, Qing Wan's eyes flashed with electricity and she attacked first.
Ling Xian nodded softly at this and his eyes flashed with happiness.
Though Qing Wan fell into the man's trap, it was only because she didn't understand how evil people can be. To be able to calm down so quickly and attack first was already a good reaction.
Sadly, the moment Qing Wan attacked, the poison also exploded.
She puked out a mouthful of fresh blood and her body wavered, finding it hard to stand.
This poison was extremely dominating. With her cultivation level, there was no way she could defend against it.
"Stop struggling. Even if you are a sixth level cultivator, once you are poisoned, you cannot use any of your capabilities."
The man smiled proudly. Victory was already within his grasp.
"Dammit!"
Qing Wan clenched her teeth but there was nothing she could do.
She looked at Ling Xian and said bitterly, "I am sorry for dragging you down."
"It's okay. Just think of it as buying a lesson." Ling Xian softly smiled, at ease.
"Buying a lesson?"
The man had a sarcastic smile, "Don't you think the price is a little high?"
"Is it …"
Ling Xian lost his composure and chuckled. To him, this poison was like plain water. It posed no threat.
"I will stop him. You go first." Qing Wan gritted her teeth and burned her lifespan to suppress the poison.
"There's no need."
Ling Xian grinned, "Cui Hua, do you not trust me that much?"
Qing Wan was stunned when she heard this, and then she said, "You mean …."
"A little poison can't do anything to me." Ling Xian continued to smile as if nothing had happened.
"What a joke."
The man snickered, "Even a sixth level cultivator cannot do anything against this poison."
"How are you so sure that I am below the sixth level?"
Ling Xian smiled. He was half a step to the eighth level. Even if he was of the fifth level like Qing Wan, this poison wouldn't pose a threat.
The Flame of Purity was not just for show.
"Stop acting. If you were of the sixth level or higher, how could you not see the poison in the wine?" The man looked at Ling Xian in disdain.
"I saw it a long time ago."
Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled. Seeing Qing Wan's confusion, he said, "The reason why I didn't warn you was because I wanted you to learn a lesson so you won't fall for it again."
"I understand." Qing Wan nodded and swore to herself that she will never fall for this again.
"So what if you understand? You will lose your life. "
The man snickered and mocked, "Buying a lesson with your life? Don't you think that's a big price to pay?"
"It is. But who told you I bought it with my life?"
Ling Xian's smile disappeared, "Didn't you want a fortune? I am standing right here. Let's see if you have the ability to take it. "
"You helped her become a fifth level cultivator?" The man's pupils constricted.
"You aren't so dumb."
Ling Xian glared at the man. The Flame of Purity poured out of his finger and instantly wiped out the poison inside Qing Wan's body.
This made the man's expression change. As if he had seen a ghost, he stumbled back.
Based on what he knew, this poison was extremely terrifying. Without an antidote, even a sixth level cultivator cannot get rid of it.
Yet Ling Xian merely flicked his finger and got rid of all the poison. Why wouldn't he be shocked?
"Who … who are you?"
The man's expression was stern and he pretended to be calm.
"Someone you can't afford to offend."
Ling Xian spoke softly. He glanced over and immediately suppressed the man's cultivation level to the beginning stage of the fifth level.
A mere fifth level cultivator had no right to make him fight. Therefore, he decided to test Qing Wan.
"Go, take his head. This is the test I'm giving you."
