As soon as these words were spoken, the elders responded one by one.
"Yes! Our Li family has always been the rulers of Qianlan Mountain, and we have always oppressed others! Today is a great insult!"
"This person is still very young, yet possesses such power. He must come from an extraordinary background. There must be a lot of treasures on him!"
...
The elders were filled with excitement, but soon they became calm and furrowed their brows.
"Second Brother, this person is capable of killing our family's patriach. I'm afraid we are no match for him!"
"His strength is indeed extraordinary, but there are limits!"
Li Mingshan sneered, "Besides, we don't need to confront him directly. I have given orders to light the 'Purple Capital Incense' around the courtyard where they are located! And I have informed the other three major families to assist us!"
"Purple Capital Incense? Rumor has it that this substance is a rare poison in the world. Even Core Yuan experts would be poisoned if they were exposed to its smoke for too long, rendering their whole body weak, unable to lift a finger!"
"Where did you get something like that, Second Brother?"
"Purple Capital Incense is colorless and odorless, impossible to defend against. So no matter how strong this kid is, he will meet his demise!"
...
The elders of the Li family expressed joyful expressions.
Li Mingshan stood up from his seat and said, "I obtained it by chance. I thought I would never use it in my lifetime, but today it has become a lethal weapon for our Li family!
Considering the timing, it should be perfect. Let's go! Let's go and see first. If that person truly has no resistance, we will handle it ourselves and won't need to share the spoils with the other three major families.
If he still has any strength left, we don't need to risk our lives to fight him. We will patiently wait for the arrival of powerful experts from the three major families!"
"Yes!"
The elders nodded one by one, following Li Mingshan as they headed towards the courtyard.
...
In the courtyard,
Su Zhan was cultivating when suddenly a system upgrade notification sounded.
"Ding! Achievement task 'First Poisoning' completed. Unlocking new halo: [Protagonist Poison Immunity Halo]!"
[Protagonist Poison Immunity Halo]: Greatly enhances resistance against various toxins, disregarding most poisons. As a protagonist, can't even be affected by poison? Impossible!
Huh?
What's this?
Su Zhan was somewhat surprised. Had he really been poisoned without realizing it?
Furrowing his brows, he used his true qi to carefully investigate his body and indeed found traces of poison.
It was very weak, but if not eliminated in a timely manner, it could have serious consequences!
The Poison Immunity Halo activated, and the poison was immediately expelled.
This halo is very useful, but it's only active when I'm poisoned... Then I'm curious, if I die, can I activate the immortality halo?
Su Zhan was tempted, but after thinking for a moment, he still didn't have the courage to take a sword and swing it at his own neck.
Huh, forget it!
Unlocking a halo like this is better left to fate!
Turning his head slightly, Su Zhan looked at Su Zhaoyue.
Surprisingly, Su Zhaoyue was also unharmed.
A strange light extended from her bracelet, enveloping Su Zhaoyue.
"This power... God Transformation Realm? Or even higher?"
Su Zhan sensed it and was somewhat puzzled.
It seems that Su Zhaoyue really has a mysterious expert attached to her...
Seeing Su Zhaoyue safe and sound, Su Zhan also felt relieved.
Afterwards, he walked towards the courtyard gate.
If the Li family wanted to kill him, he didn't need to argue with them!
As Su Zhan stepped out of the courtyard, he saw Li Mingshan approaching with a group of elders.
"What's going on? Second Brother, didn't you say you used Purple Capital Incense to poison them?"
"Could it be that, by chance, he also has an incense antidote?"
"It's impossible, truly impossible! Purple Capital Incense is already extremely rare. How could it be so coincidental?"
The faces of the elders changed, and fear emerged within them.
Li Mingshan's face turned pale, and he said, "What are you afraid of! I just saw it. The Purple Capital Incense has burned, he must have been poisoned! Maybe it's because of his strong power that allowed him to come out now, but I can be sure that his current combat strength is definitely less than one-tenth of before! Now he's weak like an ant, what is there to fear!"
"Weak like an ant?"
An elder hesitated and said, "But his appearance doesn't look like it!"
"He's pretending!" Li Mingshan sneered. "I don't believe there's anyone immune to Purple Capital Incense! Don't let him escape!"
Upon hearing Li Mingshan's words, the elders showed hesitation.
"It's useless! When this kid was at his peak, it would be understandable to retreat, but now that he's been poisoned, what are you afraid of?"
Li Mingshan cursed and walked towards Su Zhan. "Watch how I kill this person!"
Although he said that, Li Mingshan didn't immediately step forward. Instead, he threw shadow punches from a distance of over thirty meters to test how much strength Su Zhan had left.
"Let's see how long you can keep pretending—"
"Boom!"
Su Zhan immediately used the Movement Shadow technique, crossing dozens of meters in an instant, and his Fire Burst Fist hit hard.
Li Mingshan's eyes only showed a shocked expression before his body exploded. Even before he landed, his internal organs were crushed, and his life force extinguished!
Is this what it means to be weak like an ant?
Damn, are there ants that are not normal like this???
The defense line in the hearts of the Li family elders was shattered by Su Zhan's punch, and they turned and fled.
"Since they were determined to kill me, there's no need to run now!"
The longsword at Su Zhan's waist was unsheathed, and Yangyan True Qi was spewed out.
Flowing Flame Sword Technique!
Su Zhan's figure flickered like an unstoppable blaze!
In less than ten seconds, all the elders who came with Li Mingshan were dead!
"The Flowing Flame Sword Technique at the Minor Achievement level is still not agile enough. If it reaches its peak level, a single sword strike can cover the entire Li Mansion. Why do I have to use so many swords?"
Su Zhan muttered to himself as he sheathed his sword.
Returning to the courtyard, he waited for a moment, and Su Zhaoyue finally finished collecting the Qianlan Ice Fire.
And the mysterious object hung alone in the air, like a blue crystal.
"It really is a star fragment!"
As he reached out to touch it, he felt the mysterious energy from the Star. Su Zhan was overjoyed and immediately stored it in his storage ring.
After that, the two of them walked out of the courtyard.
Su Zhaoyue was surprised to see the corpses outside and looked at Su Zhan, wanting to say something but hesitated.
"If I didn't kill them, they would have killed us."
Su Zhan understood what she was thinking and said casually.
"Yes, I understand."
Su Zhaoyue nodded. Lin Feiyu had already informed her about the near poisoning incident.
If it weren't for Lin Feiyu protecting her, she would never have been able to withstand such a strange poison. These people... deserve to die!
...
Currently, outside the gates of the Li family.
Three cultivators at the middle stage of the Barrier Master Realm led dozens of cultivators in the Yuan Condensation Realm from the other three major families in the Qianlan Mountains.
"The Chen family is also here? I remember the Chen family and the Li family have a feud, right?"
"That's a personal grudge. Today, with an outsider causing trouble in the vicinity of the four major families of Qianlan Mountains, the situation is different!"
"Hehe, it seems like you're only concerned about the treasure in that kid's body, right? After all, if what the Li family said is true, this person might be an extraordinary genius from a powerful force who slipped out to cultivate. If we kill him, the three major families will benefit!"
"Hmph! I won't waste time talking to you. People from the Chen family, follow me!"
...
The three Barrier Master Realm experts exchanged a few short words and rushed towards the Li family's residence.
Impatiently, they arrived in the deserted courtyard of the Li family.
"Haha, I, Chen Hao, am the first to arrive! Today, I will..."
A Warrior Domain expert from the Chen family caught a faint smell of blood and sensed that something was wrong. When he saw the scattered corpses at the entrance, his whole body immediately turned cold!
Seeing Su Zhan walking towards him, Chen Hao's pupils suddenly contracted. He knelt down on the ground, took out a jade pendant from his storage ring, and held it above his head with all his strength. His voice was hoarse as he shouted:
"Today, I will present the most precious treasure of the Chen family to you, Master Su!"
