My Years in the Jianghu with the Prince: A Time of Unethical Conduct

Tao Xian immediately recognized Yu Bai's voice.

She looked back and almost thought she was seeing things, but she saw Meng Lan attacking Yu Bai frantically.

Yu Bai, clutching the cut on her left arm, asked incredulously as she dodged, "Meng Lan? What are you doing?!"

But Meng Lan didn't reply to him or say anything. His expression was blank, and he threw the hidden weapon stiffly.

Tao Xian, of course, didn't think Meng Lan had betrayed her. She immediately turned around, grabbed Wu Li by the collar, and demanded, "What did you do?!"

Wu Li's neck was tightly gripped, and although she couldn't breathe, she still laughed happily: "Guess!"

His tone was full of schadenfreude: "But even if you guess right, there's no reward."

Tao Xian's face turned cold. She released his collar and grabbed his neck. She slowly increased the pressure in her hand, seemingly intending to kill him with her bare hands.

Wu Li was being choked so badly that she couldn't even speak. She scratched herself violently with both hands and kicked her legs incessantly.

All his poisons were ineffective against this woman, and he wanted to secretly do something to her, but Tao Xian was covered in a layer of internal energy, as if she knew what he wanted to do.

"Ho ho..."

Just when Wu Li thought this woman was really going to kill him, Tao Xian let go of his hand.

Because something also happened at Xuanfeng's place.

Several of Meng Lan's subordinates, like Meng Lan, began to launch a frenzied attack on their own people.

An unexpected turn of events caught everyone off guard, causing chaos.

The wind of blades rushed towards him, but Xuanfeng dodged their relentless attacks.

Only when you get close can you clearly see that these people's eyes are rolled back, revealing only white pupils, and that veins are constantly bulging on their foreheads.

They quickly forced Xuanfeng back, and then surrounded the black-robed man wielding a scimitar.

Looking at these familiar faces, Xuanfeng hesitated, unable to bring himself to kill them. So he tried to knock them unconscious, but when he struck them with his palm, he found that it had no effect on them at all.

Some people blocked him, while the rest carried the man in black robes and quickly approached Wu Li.

Wu Li covered her throat, coughing uncontrollably.

His trachea was clearly damaged, and his voice had become extremely hoarse.

Although she couldn't see his face, Tao Xian could still feel a sinister gaze watching her from beneath the mask.

"I'm angry, I'm going to punish you."

Tao Xian frowned, just as she heard Yu Bai shout again, "Stop!"

However, Yu Bai was not terrified because he was in danger, but because he saw Meng Lan suddenly stop attacking, grab the hidden arrow in her hand, and stab it towards her neck!

Earlier, in order to avoid the attack, Yu Bai had created some distance between himself and Meng Lan, and he had also accidentally been hit in the leg by a hidden arrow. At this moment, he was completely unable to catch up with Meng Lan to stop her suicide.

Among the crowd, Xuanfeng was too far away to do anything but watch, while Taoxian, who was able to get there in time, was blocked by her subordinates who surrounded her.

Wu Li's shrill laughter echoed across the land.

Just a second before the arrow pierced the skin, time seemed to stand still, everyone's minds went blank, and the events about to happen involuntarily appeared in their minds.

A sudden gust of wind swept through the arena.

Some people didn't notice, while others noticed but couldn't see anything. Even Wu Li could only see a blurry afterimage.

Before she could react, someone had already grabbed Meng Lan's hand.

"Your Majesty!"

The visitor was none other than Chu Ling, who had been observing the situation quietly.

He grabbed Meng Lan's hands and pinned them tightly behind her back. Meng Lan struggled frantically but could not budge them an inch.

This sudden turn of events did not stop Wu Li's laughter; on the contrary, it seemed as if he had expected it all along. "Finally out. I wondered how long you could hide."

With a thud, the leader's legs finally gave way, and he couldn't help but kneel down.

Chu Ling had just appeared out from behind him.

He stood up and was three or four times larger than Chu Ling, firmly blocking him from behind. No one could see from the front that there was someone behind him.

Chu Ling carefully observed Meng Lan, then reached out a hand to strike the back of his neck, only to find that he couldn't knock him unconscious.

Seeing this, Wu Li scoffed and said, "Foolish. They're already unconscious after being poisoned by the Gu, how could they possibly be beaten?"

It turns out he was the Gu Master from the Holy Sun Cult.

Seeing that Tao Xian was trying to use medicine, the boy kept grumbling: "Don't waste your time. There is no cure for the Gu I raise. No kind of sleeping potion will work on them."

He released the pressure points of the black-robed man he had brought with him and sneered, "Useless trash, all you do is drag me down. You're even stupid enough to call out my name. Saving you would be too much of a dirty task for me."

"you!"

Whether it was because he felt guilty or something else, the man in the black robe only dared to be angry but dared not speak out.

So he turned his anger on others, casually slashing a deep gash in front of the person being controlled.

"asshole!"

Tao Xian was furious and disregarded everything else.

She stopped holding back and unleashed her profound inner strength, sending everyone surrounding her flying.

Wu Li and the other man quickly retreated, but Tao Xian had no time to pay attention to them and only went to the side of the wounded man.

Those afflicted with the poison were clearly unaware of pain or feeling anything; even with profuse bleeding and severe injuries, they did not stop their actions.

Seeing Tao Xian rushing towards him, he raised his weapon high and swung it down to keep her away.

Having no other choice, Tao Xian could only shoot two white ribbons from her sleeve to bind his hands and feet before proceeding with the treatment.

In an instant, everyone on the field who could stop them was tied down.

"I didn't expect Chu Ling to appear here. It seems this spot is now useless."

The man in black robes surveyed the entire scene, then stood behind Wu Li and whispered.

"Humph."

Wu Li didn't take it seriously. "He's the cult leader's biggest worry. Why not kill him now?"

"No!" The man in black robes hurriedly stopped him. "Don't underestimate Chu Ling. This man is a killing machine! We must leave now and go back to report this to the sect leader immediately!"

Wu Li didn't say anything more, and began chanting a spell rapidly.

As he uttered the incantation, all those afflicted by the curse suddenly experienced a surge in internal energy, becoming incredibly strong.

While stopping the bleeding, Tao Xian glanced over and her expression turned grave: "This is bad! They're overdrawing their energy; once they run out, they'll die from exhaustion!"

"You can just keep dragging this out."

Wu Li gave them one last look, then ordered the people afflicted by the Gu poison to cover their retreat, and led his men to withdraw.

They ran towards the village gate and unexpectedly bumped into the chief, who was also running frantically.

His layers of fat rippled like waves when he ran, making people feel physically uncomfortable.

"This piece of trash has the nerve to run away?"

The man in black robes cursed in disgust and asked Wu Li, "Should we take him back?"

Uli also said disgustedly, "Take him back to raise pigs? Just slaughter this piece of trash!"

The two ran ahead and in the blink of an eye, they were getting closer and closer to the leader.

As they closed the distance further, the man in black robes swung out his two curved blades, pointing them directly at the leader's back.

"what!"

The curved blade spun and pierced his back. The leader screamed and collapsed to the ground.

The two men caught up, and the man in the black robe stopped and pulled his knife from behind the leader's back.

Wu Li glanced at it and inexplicably felt that something was wrong. "Why is there no blood?!"

Before the words were even finished, and before the two had a chance to react, the seemingly lifeless leader suddenly erupted into a rage.

A figure popped out from the shattered fake flesh, and the next second, an ordinary-looking face appeared before them, with a big smile on it—

"Surprise!"

Two people: "!!!"
