The Villain's Counterattack

Three days passed in a flash. During these three days, Duan Lang went out early and came back late every day, living a busy and happy life.

On the first day, Yu'er got the "Wedding Dress Secret" and got started with Duan Lang's help. She happily practiced the Qinggong, jumping around happily.

On the second day, Duan Lang handed the new version of "Eclipse Sword Technique" to Bu Jingyun in front of Qin Shuang. After Duan Lang left, Qin Shuang was able to see the whole picture. It was completely different from the previous childish version, which made him amazed. However, when he saw a line of words on the last page, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

It clearly stated that the debt of favor had been repaid, but we were not yet friends. If one day we become enemies, please destroy it and do not spread it.

Bu Jingyun had a blank expression on his face, but he did not smash the thing to pieces in front of Qin Shuang. He was a careful person and vaguely felt that the weight of the booklet was a little off, so he put it in his arms and followed Qin Shuang to continue patrolling and searching the Tianxia Society.

On the third day, Yu Sanlang recovered completely. With the help of Duanlang's disguise technique, he stood in front of Yu'er, allowing the uncle and nephew to meet officially.

That night, Duan Lang sent them both on a carriage and returned to Tianxiahui alone. He came to Qin Jiao's room, where Qin Ning had been waiting for a long time.

"This thing is called Yi Meng Huang Liang, it can only make people fall asleep for about a meal, and wake up full of energy. It is a rare sleeping treasure, harmless and delicious. There is only one thing, even the master, grand master, and broken strongman will inevitably be knocked out by it. Your gang leader Xiongba will need a meal to wake up after eating it." Duan Lang was still very confident in making medicine, and this thing was not originally made to be a sleeping drug.

This thing is a magical medicine that helps you sleep and speeds up recovery. Drowsiness is just a trivial side effect.

A single bottle of potion could knock hundreds of people unconscious, but it was a bit of a waste to use on ordinary people. Duan Lang then took out a bamboo tube and said, "Although the effects of the Yimeng Huangliang potion are strong, they only last for a short time and are extremely precious. It's worthwhile on experts, but a bit of a waste on ordinary people. This potion is called "Xiaohun" and is a kind of enchanting smoke. It is colorless and odorless and can make people feel ecstatic and fall asleep quickly, and it will take an hour or two for them to wake up."

"However, this item's effectiveness will be reduced for masters above the Grandmaster level. Grandmasters will see their effectiveness reduced by half, while masters above the Grandmaster level will be largely unaffected." Duan Lang continued, "Furthermore, certain masters who cultivate special zhenqi are also immune to the Ecstasy Smoke, including practitioners of the Yin-Yang Classic."

Hearing the old man in disguise Duan Lang deliberately mention the Yin-Yang Classics, Qin Ning's face twisted, "Senior is indeed a member of the Tianxia Association." Otherwise, how could he know the martial arts that the little bastard Duan Lang practiced? You must know that except for him, no one in the entire Tianxia Association is willing to practice this martial arts.

Progress is slow, cultivation is difficult, and not only does one suffer while others benefit, but the cultivator also lacks much killing power and cannot even protect himself. This is because the fool Duan Lang is afraid of being suppressed by the gang leader and willingly degenerates into practicing.

But this boy is also a smart man. The killing power of his true qi is almost zero, but he turns around and practices external skills. Not only does his defense increase greatly, but he also has a lot of strength. He bought a heavy sword, and when he wields it, the wind whistles. Ordinary innate masters and masters are no match for him.

I had sent seven or eight waves of people to deal with him, but only half had returned. The rest would probably never come back. However, I had already found out that the reason this guy left early and returned late was, firstly, to practice the Eclipse Sword Technique passed down by his family, and secondly, he had been bewitched by a village girl outside Tianyin City.

The village girl was said to be of the same age as him and quite pretty, but unfortunately she was blind and made a living by making and selling masks. Her life was quite hard, and she was good for nothing else.

He had already made up his mind to tear Duan Lang into pieces and throw Nie Feng into the abyss, laying a solid foundation for his son Qin Jiao to take the throne.

Yes, Qin Jiao has already started to cultivate again. With the help of a lot of elixirs, he is already close to the innate level. After all, he is just cultivating again and not reborn. His body is still in the foundation realm, but the true energy in his body has been dispersed.

It seems that Bu Jingyun did show mercy.

Perhaps his original intention was just to temporarily deprive Qin Jiao of his martial arts, and then let them do whatever they wanted after the selection of the Four Heavenly Kings was settled. However, this seemingly well-intentioned charity seriously irritated Qin Ning and his son. Instead of appreciating it, they became even more jealous of Bu Jingyun.

However, they did not dare to show any disrespect to the cold-blooded and ruthless Death God Bu Jingyun. Instead, they transferred their hatred to Nie Feng and Duan Lang. One of them was kind-hearted and the other was of low status, so it didn't matter if they offended them. Anyway, they had already offended them badly before, so they didn't mind offending them more.

"Lingnan, Shuyu, I'll have them pretend to pass by Duanlang's residence by chance and tell him that guarding Tianyi Pavilion is hard, that he can't eat well, and can't sleep well, so that Duanlang will worry about him."

"Jiao'er, go to the kitchen and find Hou San, the supervisor. Have him prepare two excellent meals. Secretly drip a few drops of A Dream of Yellow Millet into the dishes. Tell him that if Duan Lang comes to ask for it, he should be careful and make sure to control the amount. In the end, he must let Duan Lang take the two meals away."

Qin Ning was in command and thought he was unparalleled in his planning. He then turned and left Qin Jiao's room and secretly gathered three or five loyal confidants to prepare for the good show tonight. On the other side, Duan Lang sold Yi Meng Huang Liang and Xie Hun Mi Yan to Qin Ning and his son at a high price, then turned around and found Qin Shuang and Bu Jingyun to inquire about the progress of the search for the assassin.

He had already sent everyone away, so how could Qin Shuang and Bu Jingyun make any progress? Duan Lang also mentioned a few places that only low-level servants knew about for reference. Bu Jingyun didn't take it seriously, but Qin Shuang took careful notes.

Duan Lang had just said goodbye when he found them again, which surprised the two of them. They didn't know why this bastard was so annoying, or maybe he really discovered something?

"Qin Ning is going to take action." Duan Lang's words cheered up the two men.

"What happened?"

"Qin Ning's lackeys, Ling Nan and Shu Yu, two candidates for the Heavenly King title, have graced my humble abode, but passed by without entering. They simply rant about Feng having a rough time, losing his appetite and unable to sleep. They probably want me to go find him so they can plot against me." Duan Lang's tone was extremely certain. "After all, the Heavenly Doctor Pavilion contains treasures that assassins value. If something goes wrong while I'm approaching, Qin Ning and his son will certainly not miss the opportunity and will do everything they can to get back at me."

Qin Shuang and Bu Jingyun looked at each other in bewilderment, "Are you overthinking it?"

"I'd rather I'm overthinking it than let him succeed and harm Feng." Duan Lang said in a deep voice, "I'm really worried that Feng's body can't handle the constant vigilance. I'll go to Tianyi Pavilion with Kong Ci to visit him later. Bu Jingyun, you won't stop us, right?"

Kong Ci is now nominally Bu Jingyun's exclusive maid, so it is normal for Duan Lang to ask for his opinion. However, Bu Jingyun also knows that he has been missing for five years. Kong Ci serves Nie Feng and has a good relationship with Nie Feng and Duan Lang. They had an adventure in Shaolin before, so it is even more difficult for her to part with him.

"If there may be risks, it is better not to let Kong Ci take risks." Without waiting for Bu Jingyun to refuse, Qin Shuang spoke first.

Duan Lang couldn't help but slap his forehead when he heard this, "But my reputation doesn't count in the kitchen. I need Kong Ci to help me get the delicious food. If I go alone, let alone ready-made food, I can't even get two taels of cooking materials."

It was only then that Qin Shuang and Bu Jingyun were surprised to discover the difficult situation Duan Lang was in. They were also shocked by the influence of Qin Ning and his son in the Tianxiahui headquarters.

"In that case, let Kong Ci accompany you to the kitchen. Forget about Tianyi Pavilion. You can get the food and go there yourself."

Duan Lang secretly raised two middle fingers in his heart: You are a bunch of bastards who forget their friends for the sake of beauty. You will suffer in the future!
