Deep within the winding mountain range.

Inside a mysterious cave.

Jiang Shi, who had been sitting cross-legged for a long time, opened his eyes once more. His face was pale, his brows tightly knit, and his entire body was in excruciating pain, feeling as if his bones were dislocated. Even a slight movement caused extreme discomfort.

Two consecutive days passed, and his injuries remained severe.

Two days of recovery, producing only minimal effect.

His body bore seven or eight massive palm imprints, three of which were particularly terrifying, penetrating several centimeters deep, fracturing numerous ribs and even inflicting serious internal organ damage.

The Blood Exchange Realm is certainly the Blood Exchange Realm!

If he hadn't used a secret technique at a critical moment, he might have perished.

Even so, he ended up in a pitiful state.

"Continuing like this won't do. If I rely solely on my own recovery, it would take months to heal. I must seek some elixir pills for assistance. However, many highly skilled individuals appeared secretly trailing me earlier, seemingly harboring hostile intent. In my current state, even if I could kill them, it would worsen my injuries. Furthermore, if experts from the Kunshan Long Family and the Longxi Zhang Family arrive, I will surely meet my end."

Turmoil surged in Jiang Shi's heart, secretly anxious.

This weakened state was truly unnerving.

He could be discovered at any moment.

And over the past two days, his Reputation Value only barely reached 8990 points, though it was still rapidly climbing, it would take at least another day to fully exceed ten thousand.

Reputation Value doesn't increase significantly in a day.

This is a gradual process.

Jiang Shi had no choice but to continue operating his True Martial Gang Force, beginning a slow recovery.

More time passed.

Jiang Shi opened his eyes and began attempting to reconnect the broken bones, forcibly pressing the fractured bones back into place with his palm, making them align.

This process was extraordinarily painful, causing cold sweat to pour from him, his features becoming distorted, and the wounds that had just healed previously began to bleed again.

However, he gritted his teeth and persevered, slowly reconnecting.

A faint scent of blood permeated the entire cave.

Finally, after several hours, he stopped, breathing heavily, his face indescribably pale.

Luckily, the situation wasn't particularly dire; the broken bones had been repositioned.

All that remained was slow recovery.

Jiang Shi felt a parched throat, his body swaying, and he walked out of the cave in search of a water source, intending to drink heartily.

But suddenly, his pupils shrank as he gazed at the stream before him.

He saw several dead fish floating belly-up on the stream, carried downstream.

Is it poisoned?

He remembered the stream wasn't like this before?

But now so many dead fish appeared?

Someone poisoned the stream?

"Could it be that group trying to deal with me, specifically poisoned to force me out?"

Jiang Shi's heart turned cold.

Who exactly were these powerful individuals suddenly emerging?

Going to such lengths to deal with him, even resorting to potent toxins, truly malicious.

Though his Red Sun Dominating Body has poison resistance, but with his current severe injuries, he dared not gamble. If his injuries worsen, it would cause problems.

Jiang Shi swiftly turned and departed, intending to leave the area.

If someone poisoned the stream, it indicated that pursuers had already reached close by, making the place unsafe.

Yet he underestimated the speed of the covert agents.

Just as Jiang Shi dashed out of the woods, he heard some faint sounds, causing a slight change in expression and sharply stopping his body, turning his ear to listen.

"You think that kid really has other secrets on him?"

A man's voice arose faintly.

"He certainly does; otherwise, even if he is an Innate Vajra, it's impossible for his strength to improve so quickly. The higher-ups have investigated his origins and background multiple times, and from his rise until now, it's only been half a year. This is more terrifying than Meng Fang's past achievements."

Another man whispered.

"I really didn't anticipate there would be a second Innate Vajra. If Cyan Robe Tower captures him, many noble families will definitely be highly interested."

"Don't be careless, even the infamous Three Saints Association has mobilized, along with Jiu Shan True Master, and experts from the Kunshan Long Family and the Longxi Zhang Family are on their way, in addition to other Jianghu figures, our Cyan Robe Tower really doesn't have a strong assurance."

"Indeed, in any case, let's first find the kid. Old Liu, is your toxin really effective?"

"Just trust me, my toxin, one drop can poison the fish of an entire river. I poured three bottles continuously, even a Daluo Golden Immortal drinking it would be severely injured."

"Then it's good, hehe, if we can't force him out, we might as well set fire to the mountain...»"

"Set fire to the mountain? Hehe, no matter how strong the kid is, he couldn't possibly survive engulfed in roaring flames?"

···

Jiang Shi's eyes turned cold, staring from afar towards the direction where the voice came.

Cyan Robe Tower?

It's that power again!

So vicious!

And wanting to set fire to the mountain?

However, he also overheard other news, causing his heart to chill.

Three Saints Association, Kunshan Long Family, Longxi Zhang Family, and additionally Jiu Shan True Master?

Jiang Shi realized he needed to understand all of this.

His body surged out like a leopard from there.

Even though he was already severely injured, the foundation of his physical body was formidable, not something ordinary people could conceive.

In a wooded area.

At the moment, there were four or five Jianghu figures dressed in blue robes, carrying various weapons, gathered here, discussing among themselves. Suddenly, they heard a terrifying roar arise, causing their expressions to change as they swiftly turned their heads.
