"No matter how great his talent is, today he won’t leave alive!"

Jian Mofeng sneered coldly.

After that, he put on a smiling face and let the family servant follow him, carrying a few glasses of wine to the place where Ling Xiao and his companions were sitting.

Then he picked up a glass and said, "It’s truly delightful for Jian to have you here for Liu Feng’s wedding ceremony.

Let Jian toast to everyone here."

"Stop being so insincere. Are you happy? Happy my ass, knowing full well we’re here to ’steal’ the so-called bride."

Lin Yang said disdainfully.

Jian Mofeng’s brow furrowed slightly but then relaxed quickly.

Still smiling, he said, "No matter what, the guests are here, and this cup must be drunk.

As for what you’ll do next, that’s your business, but running wild in my Sword Clan won’t lead to a good outcome.

This glass, I drink first as a toast!"

Jian Mofeng downed the wine in one gulp.

Then he looked at Ling Xiao and the others.

Yet Lin Yang, Qing Luan Hua, and Lin Ruoxian did not touch their cups.

"My father always taught me not to drink the enemy’s wine or eat the enemy’s food; who knows what you put in here."

Lin Yang said with a sneer.

Qing Luan Hua and Lin Ruoxian never drank, so naturally they wouldn’t drink.

Ling Xiao, however, picked up the cup with a slight smile and said, "I’ll drink this cup for you, consider it for courtesy."

"For me?"

Jian Mofeng was stunned, not understanding why.

"Because you’ll soon be dead, I’ll give you face with this drink."

Ling Xiao, after saying that, raised the cup to drink.

Lin Ruoxian hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Be careful, the wine might be poisoned."

"No worries!"

Ling Xiao drank the wine in one go.

Watching Ling Xiao finish, Jian Mofeng suddenly showed a hideous cold smile and said, "To say I’m going to die, I think it’s you who will die. Although no deadly poison was added to the wine,

it does contain Transformation Dispersion Powder bought at high price from the Eternal Palace.

After today, even if you don’t die, you’ll become a useless wretch."

"Oh? But I don’t feel any difference."

Ling Xiao smiled slightly.

He knew there was something wrong with the wine.

But he was not afraid.

He had already used the Tai Chi Eye to analyze it; this wine contained Transformation Dispersion Powder, but it had no effect on him, as experiments had proved before, he naturally was unafraid.

"How could you have nothing, you’re just pretending. Soon, your clumsy lie will be exposed."

Jian Mofeng thought Ling Xiao was just pretending and sneered disdainfully, then turned to leave.

"Ling You, now it’s your turn. That Ling Xiao has been served Transformation Dispersion Powder by me; even if he’s powerful, he can’t be your match." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Jian Mofeng walked to a distant place and instructed the almost invisible black shadow behind.

"Second Young Master, rest assured, even without the Transformation Dispersion Powder, Ling You can easily kill him.

After all, this Ling Xiao is just a Martial Artist at the intermediate stage of Hell’s Third Layer in the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm, while I’m at the late stage.

My assassination techniques are truly inherited from the Dark Divine Temple. To kill him is as easy as turning my hand."

The black shadow named Ling You evidently didn’t know Ling Xiao’s true cultivation level.

Because the cultivation he showed to everyone was only the realm they were aware of.

"Good. As long as you’re confident."

Jian Mofeng’s lips curled into a sinister smile.

Ling You was a Spiritual Body Assassin carefully nurtured by their Sword Clan!

This was their bred Earth Demon, able to perfectly merge with the earth.

Coupled with the cultivation from the Dark Divine Temple, while not high, assassinating a Martial Artist at the Fourth Layer of Hell in the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm wasn’t a challenge.

Especially when it’s Ling Xiao!

For many years, Ling You had been Sword Clan’s terrifying killer.

Whenever he acted, he never failed.

Martial Artists who fell by his hand included three pinnacle ones at the Fourth Layer Yin-Yang Realm Hell’s Peak.

Six ordinary Martial Artists at the Fifth Layer Hell’s Peak.

If measured by strength, these people were far mightier than Ling You.

Yet Ling You’s assassination skills were truly formidable.

Deploying him to kill Ling Xiao was indeed a bit of overkill.

Yet for safety, Jian Mofeng still did this.

After receiving orders, Ling You instantly vanished from that spot.

No one knew where he went.

He moved like a ghost in the wedding banquet hall.

Passing by many strong ones at the Fifth Layer Hell Cultivation, as long as he didn’t reveal killing intent, they couldn’t sense his presence.

The scene was truly shocking.

"Boss, you’re really not affected? Sword Clan surely went to great lengths, even using Transformation Dispersion Powder against us.

This thing is hard to acquire and extremely expensive."

Lin Yang asked Ling Xiao with some concern.

Ling Xiao smiled lightly and poured the powder he carried on him into the wine and delicacies, then said, "Alright, these things are safe to eat, enjoy freely."

The other three trusted Ling Xiao completely, though they hesitated momentarily, they started eating.

While they came to cause trouble, Sword Clan hired Eight Immortals County City’s most renowned culinary master; not trying his dishes would be a pity.

After eating, the three indeed felt nothing.

The sight shocked Jian Mofeng at a distance even more.

"Hmph, regardless of Ling Xiao’s prowess in pharmacology, today he must die!"

He once again revealed a sinister expression.

At the table, Ling Xiao suddenly displayed a faintly smiling expression.

"Unexpectedly, even in Sword Clan, one can encounter Earth Demons!"

He laughed coldly inwardly, ignoring the black shadow believing it had deceived everyone.

From the originally unchanged ground, suddenly a sharp blade emerged, striking toward Ling Xiao’s body.

This sword, swift as lightning, viciously.

Lin Ruoxian wished to rescue but was already too late.

Qing Luan Hua and Lin Yang failed to react to what was happening.

"Hehe, die, kid! You’re wrong for offending Sword Clan, wrong for attending this wedding!"

Ling You found this assassination too boring, again as easily as before, the opponent without even a chance to react was about to become his sword’s dead soul.

However, he liked earning this easy money.

Second Young Master promised him that upon killing Ling Xiao, he’d be rewarded with a set of outstanding Jade Level High-Grade Martial Techniques.

For him, that was extremely desirable, far more enticing than gold.

"Sword Clan actually uses Earth Demons as assassins, wonder what people would think if your corpse is thrown onto the wedding stage?"

Suddenly, Ling You’s ear was startled by a terrifying voice.

Startled greatly.

In an instant, he noticed his target vanished.

Right as his dagger was less than three inches from the opponent.

He felt tremendous fear and sped up to escape.

For he couldn’t die.

Once his corpse was exposed, many deeds Sword Clan committed would be public.
