Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

A member of the Lin family was happily drinking with others when he suddenly collapsed.

At first, no one paid any attention, assuming that the person had drunk too much and passed out.

However, this person's downfall seems to have triggered a chain reaction.

Next, a large number of Lin family members suddenly collapsed to the ground.

The first person to notice this scene was Lin Tianya, who was sitting at the highest point.

Just as Lin Tianya was feeling something was wrong, a sudden wave of dizziness hit his head.

"Oh no! Someone has poisoned us!"

This was Lin Tianya's first reaction.

Then, Lin Tianya quickly looked toward where Chu Yunfan was.

At that moment, Chu Yunfan was also covering his head, seemingly feeling a bit unwell.

In fact, Chu Yunfan was indeed feeling dizzy and had a headache at that moment, and his mind was not clear.

He also noticed something was wrong.

However, he couldn't detect any poison in either the wine or the food, which puzzled him.

With his abilities, if someone had poisoned the food and drinks, it's impossible that the celebration would have lasted so long without him noticing.

In fact, both Lin Tianya and Chu Yunfan were wrong.

Their first reaction was to guess that the killer had poisoned the food and drink, and that they had taken certain precautions beforehand.

However, what they didn't expect was that the assassin added a special kind of yeast to the wine, not poison at all.

This type of yeast can make the aroma of the wine richer and more mellow, while also amplifying the wine's aftereffects several times over.

At first sip of this wine, you might not feel anything special, only that it tastes excellent.

However, as the alcohol's effects intensify, situations like Chu Yunfan's can occur.

Just as Chu Yunfan was feeling dizzy, a strange figure was quietly approaching him from behind.

This figure moved silently, even deliberately suppressing his breathing, so Chu Yunfan didn't notice his arrival at all.

Suddenly, a black dagger appeared in the man's hand and stabbed towards Chu Yunfan's back.

The assassin's method of killing was very ingenious. Although the speed of his attack was fast, he used special means to eliminate most of the friction between the dagger and the air, so that almost no sound was produced when he made the move.

Coupled with the sneak attack from behind, it was practically a perfect assassination.

Using this method of assassination, the assassin even successfully killed a mid-stage Martial Grandmaster.

Unfortunately, he encountered Chu Yunfan today.

From the very beginning of the celebration, Chu Yunfan devised a clever plan to prevent a sudden attack by assassins.

That is, by using the sword intent of wind, combined with the spiritual power contained in the acupoints on the body, miniature tornadoes are formed on the skin surface, covering the entire body.

If the assassin launches a sneak attack, these miniature tornadoes will not only serve to block the attack, but will also warn Chu Yunfan through the sword intent of wind they contain.

Therefore, when the assassin's dagger was about to pierce Chu Yunfan's body...

He was suddenly surprised to find that there was resistance at the tip of the dagger, preventing it from moving forward.

Although the resistance wasn't very strong, it still slowed the assassin's movements down by a beat.

It was this slap that made Chu Yunfan realize what was happening.

The threat to his life jolted Chu Yunfan awake, instantly overcoming the effects of the alcohol and bringing him fully sober.

The moment the assassin sensed resistance to his dagger, he knew something was wrong and prepared to flee.

However, just as he was about to retreat, a somewhat aged wrist pressed down on his shoulder.

Instantly, the assassin's body felt heavy. He felt as if a small mountain weighing hundreds of thousands of pounds was pressing down on him, making it impossible for him to move.

"This level of strength... a Martial Venerable Realm expert?"

The assassin's face showed shock, but then a resolute look appeared in his eyes.

The next second, the assassin's mouth moved slightly.

Then, a stream of black blood flowed from the assassin's mouth.

In the blink of an eye, the assassin had lost his life and collapsed to the ground.

"Once caught, they immediately commit suicide by poisoning themselves—that's definitely the style of the Heavenly Killing Organization!"

A familiar, aged voice rang out.

The one who spoke was naturally Yun Tianming.

He stayed hidden near Chu Yunfan all night.

They act immediately should any unexpected situation arise.

In his hand, he was holding a cute little white mouse, which was the Treasure-Seeking Mouse that had grown into a second-tier demon beast.

Just now, it was the treasure-hunting rat that detected the dagger's aura, which prompted Yun Tianming to react quickly and take action.

Just then, Lin Qianqian also ran over.

As soon as she arrived, she pulled Chu Yunfan aside and examined his body from head to toe.

"Brother Yunfan, are you alright?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan patted Lin Qianqian on the shoulder and smiled:

"It's alright, look at me, I'm perfectly fine!"

After speaking, Chu Yunfan looked at the assassin lying on the ground, his tone tinged with regret.

"These assassins are really troublesome; one dies and another comes along."

And yet, he was fearless; he committed suicide the moment he made a mistake, leaving no chance for interrogation!

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Tianming chimed in:

"The Tian Sha organization does indeed have its strengths."

At least, he's quite adept at controlling his assassins!

After speaking, Yun Tianming looked at Chu Yunfan and asked:

"Kid, how did you manage to mess with the Heavenly Slaughter Organization?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan briefly explained the Wang family's situation.

After hearing this, Yun Tianming's face immediately showed an expression of "I understand now," showing no concern for Chu Yunfan whatsoever. Instead, he reprimanded him:

"You rascal, you're not efficient enough!"

Since we have already offended the Wang family so badly, we should uproot them as soon as possible to prevent future troubles.

Otherwise, you're just blatantly waiting for someone to retaliate against you.

You can't expect to guard against thieves for a thousand days if you're a thief yourself.

A prolonged defense will inevitably lead to defeat. Just because you survived the first and second assassination attempts doesn't mean you can evade them forever.

You've already experienced the power of the assassins from the Heavenly Killing Organization.

Moreover, these are just minor characters.

If the other party is truly willing to pay a high price, they can hire an even more powerful assassin to deal with you.

Are you sure you can escape the next assassination attempt?

Upon hearing Yun Tianming's words, Chu Yunfan was immediately struck by a realization, feeling deeply enlightened.

"Sure enough, old ginger is still spicy!"

He sighed inwardly, then Chu Yunfan began to explain:

"The Wang family has one disciple left in the Qingyun Sword Sect, who is an inner disciple at the Martial Sect level."

Previously, I was just an outer disciple at the initial stage of martial arts, and I had no strength to deal with him at all.

I had planned to deal with him later, and I thought he wouldn't dare to attack me because of the sect's rules, so I lowered my guard against him.

I was so naive.

He's so eager to get rid of me first, and he doesn't even need to lift a finger!"

After saying that, Chu Yunfan gave a self-deprecating laugh.

He never imagined that he himself could be so naive.
