Chapter 2235 - 2236: By Any Means Necessary

Yang Fei was one hundred percent certain.

That Mad Blade guy was currently engaged in some secretive game with Chu Yuexi, so he decided to play a joke on him.

However, despite the loud knock, it was silent inside, without a single sound.

Yang Fei felt something was amiss and released his Divine Sense to quickly scan the villa.

The result astonished Yang Fei; the villa was empty, with no one inside.

Even judging by the color of the remnants of tea on the coffee table, the villa hadn't been inhabited for at least over five days.

Where the heck did that old guy go?

Yang Fei recalled that Mad Blade moved with him to this lakeside villa just six days ago.

This means the guy left the morning of the second day.

Yang Fei felt a vague sense of foreboding.

What could cause Mad Blade to avoid him in this manner?

He stood there for just three to five seconds before turning away.

If a powerful cultivator had invaded, Yang Fei would definitely be aware.

It could only mean Mad Blade left on his own without telling Yang Fei.

Where exactly did that guy go?

In Shu Region, at the Tang Sect Headquarters, Misty Rain Tower.

Shu Region often experiences wind and rain, enveloped in mist, especially during the plum rain season when a misty rain shrouds everything day in and day out.

Among the misty rain, Jinguan City's urban landscape gains an ethereal aura.

Modern skyscrapers are nestled amidst vibrant hills and waters, showcasing excellent urban ecological development.

Some say a prime Feng Shui location in Jinguan City lies on the southeast side, at Solitary Mountain.

Below Solitary Mountain runs the Min River and Jia River, converging like dragons playing with pearls.

Water Spirit Qi from hundreds of miles of the two rivers converges at this highland.

Near Solitary Mountain, the terrain smoothens, surrounded by the most luxurious villa zone in Jinguan City extending five kilometers in radius.

Those villas cost at least over twenty million, beyond the reach of most people.

Those who can live here are either wealthy or influential figures.

However, curiously, three kilometers from Solitary Mountain are the rich people's villas.

Entering the mountain top region, it's shrouded in a thick fog, inaccessible to anyone.

Rumor has it a wealthy outsider eyed the peak of Solitary Mountain, offering a fortune to purchase the land.

But three days later, he mysteriously died at home thousands of miles away.

Coincidentally, a parachuted vice mayor proposed building a large public leisure park here.

Yet, his proposal submitted went unapproved for a long time.

Two months later, that vice mayor was transferred from Jinguan City, leaving awkwardly.

In fact, local Jinguan City residents know Solitary Mountain's peak is occupied by the dominant Tang Sect.

People from the Underworld know how formidable the Shu Tang Clan is.

Almost every top-tier poison and hidden weapon used by global special agents and assassins come from the Shu Tang Clan.

Though not directly from the Tang Sect, there are more or less some connections with the people in Tang Sect.

This ancient Martial Arts Sect has lurked in Shu Region for hundreds of years, its power spread intricately.

The sect has tens of thousands of family disciples, forming over twenty branches of varying sizes.

Even at the peak of Yinxue Tower's power, Shu Tang Clan has never explicitly submitted.

However, Shu Tang Clan's 23rd-generation Sect Leader Yang Qianqian was Wang Xiaoshi, Yinxue Tower's first-generation sect master's confidante.

For this reason, Shu Tang Clan became Yinxue Tower's staunchest supporter.

Since Earth's Spiritual Energy revival, Shu Tang Clan also faced a downturn like Yinxue Tower.

But a brilliant genius from Shu Tang Clan emerged swiftly.

This was the top of the Cultivation World, Huaxia's premier Cultivation expert, Tang Qianjue.

In the Cultivation World, one blade, two gods, three immortals, four spirits, five Immortal Sects, Tang Qianjue is among the three immortals within the Tang Sect.

This ranking isn't very accurate, in the Five Immortal Sect, every sect master possesses strength on par with the three immortals.

But Tang Sect's Tang Qianjue is reputedly the most renowned and powerful Poison Immortal among the three immortals.

Legend has it Tang Qianjue acquired a mysterious Cultivation Technique, which merged perfectly with Tang Sect's poison techniques.

After three years of dedicated training, he emerged, his poisons and curse-killing techniques shocked the world.

Tang Sect is proficient in mechanisms, hidden weapons, and poisons.

Under Tang Qianjue's mysterious Cultivation Technique, its ancestral skills saw hundreds-fold increase in potency.

Any cultivator reaching the Qi Refinement Realm is nearly immune to all poisons, stainless and pure.

But Tang Qianjue's poisons are difficult to resist, even for Great Achievement practitioners of Taoist Magic.

Countless cultivators have perished under Tang Qianjue's poisons over the years.

Tang Qianjue rejuvenated Tang Sect with his myriad poison techniques, attaining fame as one of the three immortals.

On the rear side of Solitary Mountain, around thirty acres are enveloped by an Array, where all sorts of rare flowers and spirit grasses flourish.

The enormous Array channels the Water Spirit Qi from the two rivers to irrigate this land.

Thus, spirit grasses here grow a year's worth in a single day outside.

A Lingzhi over three hundred years old, can mature here within a year.

Even an ordinary person in this medicinal garden can stay healthy, disease-free, living to one or two hundred years without issue.

The Tang Sect medicinal garden is forbidden; even disciples cannot enter without permission.

Most times, the Tang Sect medicinal garden only sees one person.

This person is naturally Tang Qianjue.

At this moment, however, Tang Qianjue's garden had another person.

This person moved like a cat, weaving between rare flowers unseen.

This man is none other than Mad Blade.

His broad form slithered like a silent serpent, creeping ahead, dodging various mechanisms and hidden weapons.

Mad Blade had a Jade Talisman dangling from his waist, emanating a faint bluish glow enveloping him.

The bluish aura seemed like a boat cutting through waves, making untriggered all arrays and formidable spells encountered.

Mad Blade felt a touch of smugness.

The Jade Talisman was a formation key he had purchased from a Tang Sect disciple for thirty million.

With this formation key, the garden's potent spells and prohibition mechanisms remained unactivated, resembling an amulet of sorts.

The Tang Sect disciple in question tended the garden's weeds and water, an inner sect disciple.

Mad Blade paid heavily before the disciple hesitated for ages before lending the formation key for use.

Mad Blade exhausted efforts, all to find Dragon Blood Grass within the medicinal garden.

Yang Fei needed to enhance Dragon Group Cultivator's power, elevate Evil Dragon Soldier King's Taoist Magic Realm, and must craft Gathering Yuan Pill.

And Dragon Blood Grass, the primary Gathering Yuan Pill herb, could only be found in Tang Sect's forbidden area.

Mad Blade appreciated Yang Fei going to great lengths for his wedding affair with Chu Yuexi.

Knowing Yang Fei struggled for Dragon Blood Grass, he headed to Tang Sect, seeking the herb.

However, today's Tang Sect isn't the same as ten years ago.

As Tang Qianjue's Taoist Magic Realm deepened, Tang Sect has risen, rivaling Kunlun Sect and Mount Shu Wanjian Sect.

So Tang Sect disciples barely acknowledged Yinxue Tower.

Thus, the moment Mad Blade showed his intention, Tang Sect welcoming disciples kicked him out before seeing Tang Qianjue.

With no other choice, Mad Blade spared no thoughts, spent heavily to buy a formation key, and steal Dragon Blood Grass here.

As for consequences, Mad Blade hadn't considered them.

He was inherently fearless, acting on impulse without scruples.
