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

While Wang Panfeng and the others were racking their brains trying to figure out the killer's identity, Chu Yunfan was secretly watching them closely.

Those chilling eyes were just like those of a hunter waiting to pounce.

Beside Chu Yunfan was a large rat with milky-white fur.

This rat was none other than the Gold-Eating Rat King that Chu Yunfan had previously subdued.

It turned out that even before setting off, Chu Yunfan had considered that it would be difficult for him to deal with the Wang family alone.

So, he made a special trip to the Azure Demon Mountain Range to bring the Gold-Eating Rat swarm with him.

He rode in a beast-drawn carriage all the way, while the gold-devouring rats dug tunnels all the way to Lianshan City.

It has to be said that even Chu Yunfan was completely impressed by the Gold-Eating Rat swarm's burrowing skills.

From the Qingyao Mountains to Lianshan City, it's over 10,000 kilometers.

Such a long burrow was surprisingly easy for them.

Because Lianshan City is protected by an array, the Gold-Eating Rat swarm cannot enter. Therefore, Chu Yunfan had the Gold-Eating Rat swarm stay in the Lianshan Mountain Range.

On the one hand, there are metal ores in the mountains for the gold-eating rats to gnaw on.

On the other hand, it also makes it easier to deal with the Wang family.

What Chu Yunfan didn't expect was that his decision to bring the Gold-Eating Rat swarm would save his life so quickly.

To be honest, he suspected that the Wang family might have laid an ambush.

Unexpectedly, the other side simultaneously dispatched a Martial Venerable Realm early stage expert and a Martial Venerable Realm mid stage expert to deal with him.

Initially, he intended to lure Wang Xueyi, who was at the early stage of the Martial Venerable Realm, into the range of the trap he had set up, and then eliminate him.

Unexpectedly, Wang Panfeng appeared out of nowhere, not only disrupting his plans but also putting him in danger.

Fortunately, the Gold-Eating Rat King dug a hole in time and rescued him.

However, at this point, the roles of hunter and prey have been reversed.

Looking at the two Martial Venerable Realm experts who almost killed him, Chu Yunfan's eyes showed no fear, but rather were filled with the excitement of a hunt.

It turned out that while Wang Panfeng ordered people to burn thick smoke, Chu Yunfan managed to mix poison into the smoke.

This time, however, he reduced the amount of poison used at once and instead ordered the Gold-Eating Rat King to release the poison in batches, hiding the Gold-Eating Rats in the tunnels.

This makes the already nearly colorless and odorless poison even more difficult to detect.

With the added cover of thick smoke, it became even more foolproof.

In particular, the hunting dogs that the Wang family brought this time were dealt with by Chu Yunfan just now.

As a result, Wang Panfeng and the others kept circling around the cave entrance, but failed to notice that poison was being released from the thick smoke billowing out of the cave.

This time, Chu Yunfan didn't use a sleeping potion, but a different kind of deadly poison.

However, this poison usually takes effect slowly, and only when the poisoned person uses their internal spiritual power will it accelerate as the spiritual power circulates.

Moreover, the more frequently one circulates spiritual energy, the more spiritual energy is used, and the faster the attack will occur.

More importantly, this poison, when used alone, has no effect; it must be combined with another poison to unleash its full toxicity instantly.

Therefore, Wang Panfeng and others inhaled the poison for so long without realizing it at all.

However, at this moment, more than a dozen gold-devouring rats rushed out of the cave and self-destructed next to Wang Panfeng and the others.

Instantly, the poison on Wang Panfeng and the others took effect.

Those guards at the peak of the Martial Master realm with lower strength immediately had poisonous blood gushing from their mouths and noses, and then died suddenly.

Even the few Martial Grandmaster level experts could only last a few seconds before collapsing to the ground and becoming corpses.

In the end, only two guards at the peak of the Martial Grandmaster realm remained, struggling to hold on.

However, judging from the dark green blood at the corners of their mouths, the situation is not optimistic.

Even Wang Xueyi and Wang Panfeng, both Martial Venerable Realm experts, looked grim at this moment.

They discovered that the antidote was not very effective against this type of poison.

So the two of them circulated their spiritual energy to suppress the toxins in their bodies.

Unexpectedly, as they circulated their spiritual energy, the toxins spread even faster.

What Wang Panfeng and Wang Xueyi didn't expect was that Chu Yunfan had fed the dozen or so gold-eating rats that had just exploded with a drug that would cause plague.

As the gold-eating rat exploded, the plague spread around Wang Panfeng and others.

Thus, with the poison compounded, the two peak Martial Grandmaster level guards quickly succumbed to the poison and died.

In the blink of an eye, the Wang family guard team, which originally numbered over a hundred, was reduced to just two captains, Wang Xueyi and Wang Panfeng.

Moreover, even these two captains, who are now all alone, are in dire need of protection.

Looking at the familiar faces falling one by one around him, Wang Panfeng's heart was filled with hatred for Chu Yunfan, wishing he could tear Chu Yunfan to pieces.

But at this moment, he had no choice.

He didn't even get to see Chu Yunfan before his entire army was nearly wiped out.

This profound sense of powerlessness fueled his hatred for Chu Yunfan, making him eager to torture and kill Chu Yunfan to vent his anger.

Suddenly, a trickle of black blood spilled from the corner of Wang Panfeng's mouth, and he immediately said to Wang Xueyi beside him:

"Things have come to this point, and there's nothing that can be done."

We will retreat first and await the patriarch's decision!

After saying that, Wang Panfeng led Wang Xueyi, the two of them back to back, and walked out of the Shanlianshan mountain range.

In order to prevent the toxin from spreading faster, neither of them dared to use their spiritual power and could only move forward at their own speed.

Chu Yunfan, who was hiding in the shadows, did not immediately chase after the two as they fled.

He knew that the poison he used was unlikely to pose a fatal threat to these two Martial Venerable Realm experts.

Despite their grim expressions, Wang Xueyi and Wang Panfeng were still able to exert at least half of their fighting strength.

Especially Wang Panfeng's mouthful of black blood just now was clearly intentionally shown to him to provoke him into making a move.

After all, even Wang Xueyi, who was at the early stage of the Martial Venerable Realm, hadn't yet coughed up poisonous blood. How could Wang Panfeng, whose cultivation was even stronger, possibly start coughing up blood first?

In fact, just as Chu Yunfan judged, Wang Panfeng's spit of black blood was intended to lure out the hidden enemy and then seize the opportunity to kill him.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yunfan saw through this trick immediately.

Upon discovering that no one had appeared, a barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashed in Wang Panfeng's eyes.

Of course, at the same time, Wang Panfeng also breathed a sigh of relief.

The fact that the enemy has remained hidden in the shadows and hasn't made a move against him and Wang Xueyi suggests that the enemy isn't very powerful. That's why they are wary of him and Wang Xueyi and want to wait until the poison in their bodies becomes more severe before taking action.

Time passed second by second. Chu Yunfan ordered some of the Gold-Eating Rats to observe Wang Panfeng and Wang Xueyi's movements on the ground, while he also ordered the Gold-Eating Rats to dig holes underground, always following behind Wang Panfeng and Wang Xueyi by a distance of several dozen meters.
