Chapter 277: Chapter 276: Harboring Evil Intentions

Please reading on ΒʘXNΟVEL.ϹΟM“By chance, I was free and made some talismans. Fourth senior brother can carry them around for self-protection,” Yu Feng pulled out a stack of yellow talisman papers from his storage ring and handed them to the fourth senior brother.

“This is an Armor Talisman, which can form a golden light shield when senior brother faces lethal threats. Even a Golden Core cultivator will struggle to break it. This is a Power Boost Talisman, which can increase your combat power tenfold instantly, but don’t use it too much, it’s hard on the body, and also…” Yu Feng introduced each one.

Fourth senior brother was delighted. He knew how talented his younger junior brother was. No one at the Golden Core stage could make better talismans than his junior brother.

Listening to the talismans’ effects, he figured these were his junior brother’s trump cards.

“There are also pills. This is a Small Recovery Pill for healing the body, Detoxification Pill, as the name suggests, can resolve all kinds of poisons…”

Fourth senior brother was deeply moved by Yu Feng’s generosity. He decided to spare his junior brother’s body after he got the cultivation technique from him. He wanted his junior brother to die with dignity.

“Fourth senior brother’s disaster is somewhat alleviated,” Yu Feng was happy for the fourth senior, then he calmed down and considered for the fourth senior, “To be on the safe side, we should still make some plans to preserve ourselves.”

“Okay.”

“Let’s do this…”

“It’s such a coincidence. Our master is currently in seclusion for enlightenment. He closed his six senses. As long as the spiritual power fluctuations from the outside world don’t reach the Nascent Soul stage, he won’t notice anything.”

“It seems like fourth senior brother’s death is meant to be,” the fifth senior brother sighed. They had been fellow brothers for so long, he never thought he would have to finish off the fourth brother. What a tragic world.

“Third senior brother, fifth senior brother, you guys are here.”

“Sister Wu Lian, junior brother, anything?” Third senior brother and fifth senior brother were discussing tonight’s plan. They didn’t expect sister and junior brother to show up.

Third senior brother and fifth senior brother found nothing odd with their sister and junior brother showing up together. After all, having spent three and a half years together, Wu Lian indeed established a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with junior brother. They were almost inseparable.

The odd thing was why the sister and junior brother would want them. They still had to be busy assassinating the fourth brother later. It wouldn’t be good if they missed this once-in-a-lifetime chance.

Yu Feng enthusiastically invited, “We are all busy with our own affairs, and we don’t get many chances to meet. I fear this could strain our relationship. If we were together, our master would surely be there. With an elder around, everyone would feel uncomfortable. Tonight is perfect. Master is in seclusion. It’s a great opportunity for us fellow brothers to get together.”

Sister Wu Lian cut in, “And, Xiao Feng has also broken through to the Golden Core stage. We can celebrate that as well.”

Originally, Sister Wu Lian planned to cultivate, but Yu Feng came to her and suggested gathering all disciples for a meeting, conveniently celebrating his breakthrough to Golden Core stage.

Sister Wu Lian thought what Yu Feng said was reasonable, so they invited third senior, fourth senior, and fifth senior together.

Third senior and fifth senior were astonished. They knew junior brother was stuck at the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment stage and thought it would take him some time to break through. They didn’t expect him to reach Golden Core stage so quickly.

The junior brother was only eighteen years old. He genuinely deserved to be called a genius.

“This…” Third senior and fifth senior were put in a difficult spot. Tonight was an excellent opportunity to kill the fourth brother. Were they going to let it slip away?

Or should they assassinate under the watchful eyes of the sister and junior brother?

Neither was a good choice.

“What, are you guys unwilling? The fourth brother said he would go,” Sister Wu Lian pretended to be angry, but she was quite playful, which had its unique charm.

“We’ll go, of course we will,” third senior and fifth senior immediately agreed. Since the fourth brother was rushing to his death, they couldn’t be blamed.

Since Yu Feng proposed the meet and it’s also celebrating him reaching Golden Core stage, naturally it would be hosted at Yu Feng’s place.

When the four arrived at Yu Feng’s small courtyard, the fourth senior brother had already prepared a table full of delicious dishes.

“Perfect timing. I just finished preparing the food. Come, everyone sit.”

Five of them gathered around the round table. In accordance with their time of entry into the sect, Wu Lian was seated next to Yu Feng, while the fourth brother was sandwiched between the third and fifth brothers.

“Try this stir-fried lily. I asked the fourth brother to make it. See if it matches your taste,” Yu Feng picked up a chopstick full of food for Wu Lian.

Wu Lian took a small bite. It was to her taste, and she smiled like a crescent moon. “Yes, it’s delicious.”

Yu Feng was smitten by Sister Wu Lian’s demeanor. He couldn’t help but feel fortunate. Thanks to him not listening to Elder Jiang’s advice; otherwise, he would’ve never won over Sister Wu Lian.

Every time he thought of this matter, he broke out in a cold sweat. It was a terrifying thought that if he had listened to Elder Jiang’s advice, he might have never had a chance with Sister Wu Lian.

Third senior and fifth senior exchanged glances. The sister and their junior brother were engrossed in their romance and would not notice their small movements. Excellent.

Perhaps it was because he wanted to harm the fourth brother, fifth brother always felt that the food and wine prepared by the fourth brother were suspicious. He secretly used the secret method of testing poison with a silver needle in his cup. Finding no poison, he was relieved.

“Fourth brother, you take care of me so much every day. I appreciate that. Let me propose a toast to you. But remember, no one is allowed to use spiritual power to dissolve the alcohol,” fifth brother raised his glass, bumping it against the fourth brother’s.

The fourth brother greeted him with a smile and they downed their drinks.

With a cold laugh in his heart, the fifth brother had just slipped slow-acting poison into his own glass, intentionally splashing some of it into the fourth brother’s glass when they toasted.

The fifth brother had taken a detoxification pill in advance, so he wasn’t afraid of his own poison.

Wait for your death.

The fourth brother laughed coldly in his heart. Do not think he did not see the fifth brother’s little trick with the silver needle. The fifth brother would never have guessed that he had poisoned the rim of the cup.

Wait for your death.

The poison that the fourth and fifth senior brothers used was not the immediate type.

“Come, let me propose another toast to you.”

“Cheers.”

To show their good relations, fourth brother and fifth brother kept drinking.

Suddenly, the fifth brother furrowed his brow, holding his stomach and breaking into a cold sweat.

“What’s wrong with fifth brother?” Seeing that the fifth brother was not feeling well, Yu Feng stepped forward to check.

“No, nothing. It might be an accident during my cultivation, I injured my stomach. I’ll be back soon.”

“I’ll go check on him,” the third brother helped the fifth brother leave.

As soon as they left the sight, they put up a sound isolation formation.

“What’s happened?” Third senior brother asked.

The fifth senior brother cursed, “Damn it, it must be that bastard fourth brother who poisoned me. Since there was no poison in the wine, it must have been on the cup rim. Lucky me, the poison I used on myself could neutralize some of fourth brother’s poison, reducing its effects to stomach pain.”

“What a cunning fourth brother,” third brother was glad he didn’t drink yet.

Wait, could there be poison on the chopsticks? Thinking about it, the third senior brother took a round of different detoxification pills.

“It seems the fourth brother knows we’re out to harm him. He’s attacking first!”

“So, do you think junior brother and sister know?”

After pondering for a moment, the third brother said, “From what I can tell, they just wanted to have a spontaneous gathering.”

“That’s good,” fifth senior brother agreed with the third senior brother’s observation. “My stomach is fine now. Let’s go back.”

What the fifth senior brother didn’t say was that the fourth brother couldn’t possibly know they were out to kill him unless the third brother leaked it.

Maybe the third brother and fourth brother are colluding to harm me, the fifth brother realized. Such a dangerous gathering! I don’t trust either the third or fourth brother and can only believe in our junior brother and sister
