Seeing that all the food had been served, Xi Yu took out her silver needles and began to prick each dish one by one. When traveling the world, one must follow the proper procedures.

The waiter felt somewhat uncomfortable with Xi Yu's actions. He was an honest waiter who only earned what he was entitled to, so he said, "Don't worry, gentlemen. Our boss, Sun Erniang, has been running this shop for over ten years. She's a very kind and honest person, not some shady business."

"puff"

Upon hearing the name, Shan Tianxie nearly spat out his tea. What? What kind of demon is Sun Erniang? Waiter, you should have said that. Now that you've mentioned it, we'll have to investigate this carefully.

Just then, the silver needle in Xi Yu's hand turned pitch black.

Dan Tianxie's expression changed drastically. Was it really such a coincidence?

The innkeeper's face changed drastically when he saw the blackened silver needles in front of him. He had been bragging to others just a moment ago, and now this had happened. He was doomed!

"Tell me, did you poison him?"

Xia Xueyi, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly. With a clang, the longsword rang out, a cold light flashed in the air, and the sword was already at the waiter's neck. She said coldly without any expression.

The innkeeper felt the chilling aura of a sharp blade against his neck, and his legs went weak, almost causing him to collapse to the ground.

Dan Tianxie's mind raced. Judging from the waiter's reaction, it couldn't be him. Who was trying to harm him? And in such a low-class way!

His gaze began to sweep around, and the ordinary people eating in his field of vision were all trembling with fear.

He suddenly caught a glimpse of a hunched-over person sneaking out. As the saying goes, if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. If you didn't do it, why are you running away?

After feeling Shan Tianxie's cold gaze, the person knew that she had been exposed. At this moment, she stopped pretending and turned out to be a very beautiful young girl.

The girl appeared to be about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, dressed in a blue cloth shirt and trousers with white floral prints, and wearing a colorful embroidered apron around her chest.

A pair of enormous gold earrings, each the size of a wine glass, hung from her earlobes.

Such strange attire is definitely not that of a Han Chinese woman.

The woman was barefoot. She lightly touched the ground with her toes and her whole body moved like a swallow, disappearing out of the inn as she tried to escape.

But in the next instant, a hand with distinct knuckles appeared silently on her shoulder, and an endless suction force came from the palm, making her unable to move.

"The leader of the Five Immortals Sect, Lan Fenghuang?"

Dan Tianxie asked softly.

From his attire, he could basically confirm that the person in front of him was Lan Fenghuang, the leader of the Five Immortals Sect who had not appeared during the Five Poisons Sect battle. He just didn't expect that she would follow him here to poison him.

"You're using... the Star Absorbing Technique?!"

Lan Fenghuang's expression changed and she exclaimed in surprise. She hadn't expected this person to know such skills. She thought to herself, "Could this person be related to Master Ren? Wouldn't that be like the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple?"

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on her face, and she said sweetly, "Good brother, we're on the same side! Let's talk things out. Why don't we find a secluded place to have a good chat and clear up this misunderstanding?"

"Oh? Let's talk? To untie it?"

A smile crept onto Shan Tianxie's lips as his gaze swept aggressively over Lan Fenghuang.

Lan Fenghuang wasn't shy at all; instead, she met his gaze and proudly displayed her impressive figure.

She was very confident in her appearance. She believed that with her looks and exotic charm, it would be hard for any man not to want to have something happen with her.

Besides, they might even be family. Poisoning is a minor matter, a small misunderstanding, nothing to worry about!

"I don't think it's necessary!"

Dan Tianxie's expression suddenly changed; he was not the type of player who could control the big head with the small head.

Women like Lan Fenghuang are the most troublesome. A beautiful woman always attracts trouble, and if that beautiful woman is also involved in drugs, then it's even more troublesome.

Moreover, Lan Fenghuang is different from Xiyu. She is more dangerous than Xiyu and has the Sun Moon Cult behind her, making it impossible for her to be subdued.

With this in mind, Shan Tianxie immediately activated the Star Absorbing Technique to its peak.

"Don't......."

Lan Fenghuang whispered. She had only just entered the Innate Realm and her true energy had not yet been fully converted, so she was unable to resist. Her power surged toward Shan Tianxie like a swallow returning to its nest.

In a short while, Lan Fenghuang's entire power was completely wiped out. If she hadn't been firmly held by Shan Tianxie, she would have already fallen to the ground. Only then did she realize that something was wrong and was about to say something.

But Shan Tianxie didn't care about all that. He gave Xiyu a wink, and Xiyu understood immediately.

The next moment, a dripping sound was heard as the Water-Splitting Sword was drawn from its sheath. The sword trembled slightly, like ripples on water, and instantly transformed into a straight, iron-like weapon.

With a "whoosh," the Water-Splitting Sword pierced through his throat.

At this moment, Lan Fenghuang's face showed disbelief and horror. She even killed her own people? Her beautiful body fell heavily to the ground with a thud, and blood stained the ground red.

Until her last breath, she never imagined that all she had done was hear that someone had ruined her plans, so she had followed them through the night, intending to use poison to control the person and use them for her own purposes, only to lose her life here.

Dan Tianxie stared coldly at Lan Fenghuang's corpse. In the original story, Lan Fenghuang was a key general under Ren Yingying, who helped Ren Yingying accomplish many things, and her poison skills were not to be underestimated.

Countless men wanted to be her admirers; even Linghu Chong had an ambiguous relationship with her, which shows how great her charm was.

But so what? For Shan Tianxie, it doesn't matter if you're a stunning beauty or a protagonist from the original work. If there's no conflict of interest, he can joke around with you, but once he takes the initiative to attack, you have to be prepared to die.

He pondered for a moment. It seemed that after destroying the Wen family, he would also have to destroy the Five Immortals Sect. Otherwise, although he was not afraid of revenge, it would still be a troublesome matter.

He always believed in one principle: either don't do it, or do it thoroughly, just like Tianbaozhai back then.

"Young Master, what should we do next?"

Xia Xueyi sheathed his sword. Since it was Lan Fenghuang's fault, he decided not to kill the waiter. After all, Xia Xueyi wasn't some kind of psychopathic killer.

"The most important thing now is to find some wine and burn Lan Fenghuang's body first!"

Dan Tianxie glanced at the waiter who was slumped on the ground, casually tossed out a few taels of silver, and said indifferently, "Waiter, could you please go and get some wine?"

The waiter scrambled to retrieve the Daughter's Red wine that the boss had been treasuring for ages. The boss wasn't here today, so saving his life was the priority!

Moments later, flames raged in the open space of the inn, and no one knew that Lan Fenghuang, the leader of the Five Immortals Sect, had perished there.

No matter how outstanding or brilliant you are, in the end you're nothing more than a handful of yellow earth.
