Jia Ren?

How is that possible? How could he have come to the Five Spirits Medicine Garden? No wonder he didn't participate in the trade meet. No wonder there was no response when the Five Spirits Medicine Garden was alerted; he had already arrived here long ago. While we were still discussing how to break into the Five Spirits Medicine Garden, he had already harvested all the most valuable Spiritual Medicine... This is a loss for the Five Elements Sect, and I couldn't be happier to see them suffer more. Better to benefit Jia Ren than to benefit outsiders. Yang Shengwu gazed at the busy figure in the Five Spirits Medicine Garden. Sensing the familiar aura, he seriously doubted his own perception.

Over one hundred and eighty Foundation Establishment Cultivators rushed towards the Five Spirits Medicine Garden like a pack of wolves. The Foundation Establishment Alliance was not truly united. However, when jointly attacking the Formation, they could still manage to cooperate. When it came to dividing the Spiritual Medicine, how much one could grab depended entirely on one's own abilities.

"If we're a step too late, all the Spiritual Medicine will be gone!"

"When did he get in?!"

"This is infuriating! Did he take the most precious Spiritual Medicine?"

Many looked towards Jia Ren with ill intent. Since no Five Elements Sect Cultivators were in the Five Spirits Medicine Garden, the high-aged Spiritual Medicine must have fallen into this person's hands. They could just snatch them directly.

Once the Formation of the Five Spirits Medicine Garden was broken, the accumulated Colorless Soul-Confusing Smoke spread out. They were the first to be baptized by the poisonous smoke.

BANG! BANG!

Dozens of figures tumbled to the ground one after another. As more and more fell, all movement ceased.

What was going on? Everyone was bewildered, not understanding what had happened.

"Not good, there's something wrong with the Five Spirits Medicine Garden!"

The previously fallen Guards, and the Cultivators who had just entered the medicine garden only to collapse, all proved there was a problem with the Five Spirits Medicine Garden.

It's poisoned! He poisoned this place!

Some reacted quickly, instantly activating their Spirit Shields and swallowing Detoxification Pills. Many others didn't react in time and had already succumbed to the poison, collapsing to the ground. Over one hundred and eighty Foundation Establishment Cultivators rained down from the sky like dumplings. In a short time, fewer than fifty remained.

Who is this ruthless person? How dare he poison the Five Spirits Medicine Garden? Since the Five Elements Sect Cultivators are nowhere to be seen in the Five Spirits Medicine Garden, they've probably also fallen victim to this person's poison...

They looked at Jia Ren with an awe reserved for ghosts or gods.

Jia Ren scanned the area. Seeing that many had not been affected, his expression changed slightly.

It's time to leave! The most valuable Thousand-Year Spiritual Medicine and seven-hundred-year-old Spiritual Medicine in the Five Spirits Medicine Garden have all fallen into my hands. I've also harvested a good number of five-hundred-year-old ones. It can be said that I've obtained the most essential part of the Five Spirits Medicine Garden. If one has meat, one should let others have soup. Being too greedy and swallowing all the high-aged Spiritual Medicine would surely lead to being targeted unanimously by all the Foundation Establishment Cultivators, who would unite to attack me. That would mean big trouble. My true self is still here; I cannot take risks. Quitting while I'm ahead and making a swift getaway is the wisest course of action.

Just as Jia Ren was about to turn and leave, his gaze suddenly fell upon a female Cultivator among the crowd. He froze on the spot. The hair on his entire body stood on end, and his body stiffened.

This woman was an acquaintance: Wang Mingyan!

She's not dead?! Impossible! I clearly remember the encirclement at Jade Cauldron Market, where a significant number of Heart Guile Puppets targeted me specifically. Zhang Pengpeng and I timely used the Xuan Shui Escape to flee Jade Cauldron Market. Wang Mingyan hadn't acted and had remained behind. The Foundation Establishment Cultivators of Jade Cauldron Market wouldn't have let her escape. How is she still alive? And her cultivation has reached the Foundation Establishment Stage? This is too abnormal! Has she fallen under the control of the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre and turned into its puppet? Does Wang Mingyan know that I am here? Fortunately, she was poisoned and is among the unconscious Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Does the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre know of my arrival here? I must leave as soon as possible!

Jia Ren no longer had any desire to stay. Activating the Wind Control Skill, with the Ancient Talisman Wings on his back, he transformed into a long rainbow, flying into the distance at his fastest speed. His true self led the way, while his Insect External Incarnation covered the rear.

Those Cultivators who hadn't been poisoned were extremely alert. They promptly activated their Spirit Shields or possessed methods to counteract the poison smoke, hence they were not taken down. The Colorless Soul-Confusing Smoke was silent and insidious; the slightest carelessness could lead to being poisoned. Relying on a single trick to overcome everyone was not an easy task. Its weakness is obvious; a Spirit Shield alone can keep the poison smoke at bay. The Cultivation World was full of numerous treasures, including many Magic Artifacts that could ward off poisonous gas. The poison-filtering mask on Jia Ren's face was the best proof.

"Stop right there!"

The escaping Jia Ren was the Poison King. He had harvested so many precious Spiritual Medicines and taken the best parts of the Five Spirits Medicine Garden. How could they let him escape?

In your dreams!

Eleven Foundation Establishment Cultivators commanded their Sword Light, swiftly pursuing Jia Ren and his Insect External Incarnation. Some Cultivators, believing they couldn't get the most precious Spiritual Medicine, didn't give chase. Instead, they headed to the Five Spirits Medicine Garden to harvest what remained.

"The Five Spirits Medicine Garden still has a large amount of Spiritual Medicine waiting for you. Why must you fellow Cultivators make things difficult for me?" Jia Ren called back.

The pursuing Cultivators were not weak; all were Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivators. Without strength, how could one dare to compete for the harvest? Yet, here were a Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage and a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, daring to take the most precious Spiritual Medicine.

So what if he's the Poison King? They had activated their Spirit Shields, carried poison-warding Magic Artifacts, and at the very least, had taken a Detoxification Pill in advance. Besides poison, the Poison King is no threat at all.

"You can leave, but the Spiritual Medicine you harvested stays," one of them shouted bluntly, looking utterly confident of overpowering Jia Ren.

The newcomers were from different forces, but they shared the same stance toward the Spiritual Medicine of the Five Spirits Medicine Garden. First, seize the Spiritual Medicine, then discuss the division of benefits.

"Do you think I'm easy to bully?" Jia Ren retorted. "There's still plenty of Spiritual Medicine in the Five Spirits Medicine Garden. Why be so aggressive?"

They did not respond; their actions had already made their stance clear as they relentlessly gave chase. Jia Ren and the Insect External Incarnation were adept at escaping; shaking them off wouldn't be difficult.

To endure for a moment brings calm, but to take a step back only fuels anger the more one thinks about it. I'll teach you a lesson. It's time for you to pay for your stupidity.

The Insect External Incarnation reined in its Escape Light and suddenly unleashed the Soul-Stealing Devil Sound at the pursuers behind it. They were prepared. The Soul-Stealing Devil Sound didn't have a significant impact, at most causing their eyes to roll back, lacking the decisive power it had against Foundation Establishment Early or Mid-Stage Cultivators.

The Wings of Annihilation materialized behind the Insect External Incarnation. From them, one hundred and eight First-Order Talisman Pills rained down.

BOOM!

Thunder boomed, and the sky transformed into an ocean of lightning and fire. The fire and lightning covered an extremely wide area, with most of the pursuing Cultivators caught within its range. The Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivators deployed Defense Artifacts and Spirit Shields to directly face the bombardment of one thousand two hundred ninety-six Thunder-Fire Talismans.

The five Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivators at the forefront, along with their Defense Artifacts, were instantly incinerated. The power was too strong! The Wings of Annihilation had undergone multiple improvements, enhancing the lethality of the Talisman Pills. Although they were only First-Order Talisman Pills, they were made from Great Grandmaster Level quality Talismans, their power far surpassing others of the same order. The combined effects could seriously wound a Third-order Monster Beast, let alone Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivators.

The foremost Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivators died instantly; those further back were only slightly luckier. Those closer were charred black. They didn't die but were left half-dead. The survivors further away had their Magic Artifacts destroyed and suffered serious injuries, their faces etched with horror. They were incredibly thankful their Escape Light had been slower; a step faster, and they would have shared the fate of the dead Cultivators. They no longer dared to pursue, desperately wishing they had more legs as they fled for their lives into the distance.

Since Jia Ren had made his move, he intended to eradicate them completely. The Insect External Incarnation flew over, methodically finishing off the heavily injured Cultivators. They had to pay for their stupidity.

I wonder if I can break even... Using the Wings of Annihilation felt great for a moment, but the consumption was astonishing. The explosive power of the Fu Wan's thunder-fire bombardment was devastating. Their Storage Bags were destroyed, and the items within were annihilated in the blast. Only a few remained intact. The Insect External Incarnation hurriedly picked up the few remaining Storage Bags, not bothering to tally the spoils before quickly fleeing.

That's terrifying! What kind of Magic Artifact is that? A Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator materialized from the shadows, his face aghast. He was one of the trackers, but smarter than the rest, having cautiously trailed from behind all along. He had planned to wait until the Cultivators fought over the Spiritual Medicine after snatching it, then reap the rewards as an opportunist. This caution allowed him to escape disaster, avoiding the thunder-fire calamity. Without hesitation, he wisely beat a hasty retreat.

The Insect External Incarnation and Jia Ren quickly departed, putting more distance behind them.

It's time to go! Jia Ren didn't hesitate. He commanded his flying sword and headed straight for Peaceful Water Courtyard Lake, eager to leave this troubled place far behind.

The Insect External Incarnation relayed a few messages to Yang Shengwu via voice transmission, and before long, Yang Shengwu's figure reappeared.

"Jia... Brother Xu Yi, thank you for the warning," Yang Shengwu said. If not for the timely warning, he too would have been among the Cultivators knocked unconscious by the poison smoke.

Jia Ren felt a bit awkward, considering he was the one who had released the poison.

"These are the resources I exchanged for you." Yang Shengwu handed back the River Mountain Bag, which contained the items Jia Ren had given him for trading Spiritual Medicine.

"This place won't be peaceful for long. You should leave as soon as possible," Jia Ren advised. Chaos represented opportunity, but also danger. It was best to leave at the first opportunity, far from the source of danger.

"You don't have to persuade me further. I won't leave until I see the downfall of the Five Elements Sect." Yang Shengwu's eyes were resolute, determined to achieve his goal. The only reason I live is for one purpose... to destroy the Five Elements Sect.

Jia Ren opened his mouth but couldn't find the words to persuade him further.

"Brother Xu Yi, could I get some poison from you?" The scene of numerous Cultivators being poisoned in the Five Spirits Medicine Garden had left a deep impression on Yang Shengwu. Such an effective tool would be a great weapon against the Five Elements Sect. He shamelessly asked for some poison.

Jia Ren left Yang Shengwu several dozen Mid-Grade Talismans and some poison incense sticks before departing. The Insect External Incarnation followed its main body's lead, rapidly fleeing into the distance, away from Great Wilderness Market.

Jia Ren's spiritual sense twitched. Dark clouds were pressing down over Five Elements Marketplace, coalescing into an enormous black face. He could see many Cultivators with blackened eyes, already controlled by Bizarre Demons. Five Elements Marketplace had transformed into a Realm of Bizarre.

Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre?! Truly a nightmare that refuses to fade! The Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre has discovered me. Unfortunately, it was too late, it arrived a step behind.

The eyes of the bizarre face stared intently in the direction Jia Ren was fleeing, radiating a palpable, human-like malice and fury. The Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre had discovered Jia Ren.

The black face's mouth opened and closed, as if uttering an inaudible sound.

'I will find you!'

'No matter where you run, to the ends of the earth!'
