What she couldn't understand was what gave Assassin the confidence to stand in front of Shen Jianxin! After all, he was instantly killed by Shen Jianxin in one move back then.

[The scene shifts to An Yu, one of the six holy maidens of the Red-Clothed Sect, who arrives at a hidden stone cave and follows Wu Menggui, an elder of the Five Poisons Sect, inside.]

An Yu looked around; the room was filled with cells of all sizes, and the poisoned person was also imprisoned there. She then asked with some confusion, "What are these?"

Without turning his head, Wu Menggui replied indifferently, "Just a failed attempt at making poison. What brings the Holy Maiden from so far away?"

“Lord Wu has been making frequent moves lately. Chief Sa believes Lord Wu should proceed with caution! Don't let Qu Yun jeopardize the overall situation.” An Yu withdrew her scrutinizing gaze upon hearing this.

"Getting rid of Qu Yun is my top priority, Wu Menggui's top priority! If it weren't for this Shen Jianxin..." Wu Menggui's words, tinged with resentment, were interrupted by An Yu before he could finish.

"Lord Wu, General Sa has made it clear that no one is allowed to harm Shen Jianxin in the slightest!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Menggui stopped in his tracks, turned to look at An Yu, and said, "If Asasin wants to protect him, then keep a close eye on him! If he jeopardizes my important plans again, I won't hesitate to take action."

"This is clearly a conspiracy against Shen Jianxin, yet the Assassins have explicitly stated that no one is allowed to harm him in the slightest?! Isn't this a contradiction?!"

This scene was even more baffling; no one could figure out what the Assassins were trying to do, no matter how hard they racked their brains! They were playing such a complicated game!

Shen Jianxin, a man of chivalry and righteousness

"The Assassins have elevated me to the status of a peerless hero, and forbade anyone from harming me. Could it be..." Shen Jianxin, who was pondering this, suddenly thought of a terrible possibility, and his face turned extremely ugly!

"Could he be gay?!" Coupled with Assassin's androgynous voice, it was quite possible. Shen Jian couldn't help but cover his buttocks.

Then Shen Jianxin thought for a moment: "Or maybe the Assassins have become my die-hard fans after the last battle."

Shen Jianxin felt that this guess seemed to make a lot more sense, as if it explained all of Assassins' previous actions!

[The scene shifts, and the matter of the Poison Man escalates. The leaders of several major sects arrive at the Five Poisons Sect to investigate and see if the so-called Five Poisons Sect is truly as evil as Hu Lianwang claims!]

Looking at the picturesque scenery ahead, Li Chengen of the Tian Ce Mansion pointed his spear at the sect leaders behind him and said, "Sect leaders! The Five Poisons Sect's territory is just ahead!"

The sect leaders, without hesitation, immediately pulled out gas masks and put them on. As they ventured deeper, they discovered a peaceful and prosperous community, with honest and simple people—not a trace of ferocity.

"Is this really the Five Poisons Sect?" Li Chengen of the Tian Ce Mansion asked, his face full of doubt.

Dongfang Yuxuan was equally incredulous: "How come this is completely different from what I imagined?"

[Then, Qu Yun, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, who had already returned to the sect, greeted everyone and began with a passionate rap summarizing his recent experiences...]

[Then Qu Yun looked around and asked, "Have the sect leaders come here to condemn me and join forces to eliminate the Five Saints Sect?"]

Li Wangsheng explained, "We just met along the way and hit it off!"

[Li Chengen of Tian Ce Mansion: "The Five Poisons Sect members are harming the people in major cities everywhere. How can Tian Ce Mansion sit idly by and do nothing!"]

Qu Yun immediately pressed further, "Did Commander Li's silencing statement reveal that it was the work of the poisonous people of my Five Saints Sect?"

Hearing this, Li Chengen felt somewhat embarrassed and explained in a weak voice, "I...I saw it with my own eyes in the intelligence room!"

Qu Yun crossed his arms and looked at the sect leaders, his tone laced with sarcasm: "Hulian.com mobilized the five major sects with just a small piece of paper. It seems that Hulian.com calls the shots in this martial world, not any of you here."

"Yes! Based on just a few snippets of information on the Lake Link Network, no one has confirmed its existence! Yet it has directly affected the judgments of all the sect leaders. Thinking about it carefully, this Lake Link Network is inexplicably terrifying."

Those watching the video suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, vaguely seeing the outcome the Assassins desired.

If the Assassins were to spread negative rumors about various sects directly through the Lake Network, it would be enough to control the entire martial arts world! It could even turn the world into chaos.

"You!!" Apart from Li Wangsheng, all the other sect leaders were furious after being mocked by Qu Yun like that.

[Then, the sect leaders each pulled out a bottle from their person, opened the cap, took a deep drag, and immediately felt much lighter.]

[The hand of Poison Man Ah Liang, who was standing to the side, suddenly trembled slightly. Qu Yun immediately frowned and asked, "Sect Leaders, what are you holding?"]

[Ye Zhiqing from Qixiufang smiled and began recommending: "This is Pure Yang True Essence Powder, the hottest miracle drug on the internet recently! One sip and you'll feel refreshed and relaxed all over."]

[Ah Liang suddenly became violent, appearing before Qu Yun with a roar before charging towards the various sect leaders.]

[Li Chengen of the Tian Ce Mansion stood up, brandishing his spear to defend himself, but within moments he was thrown away, and a lotus flower fell from his body!]

Ah Liang's wounds were directly healed by the golden pollen of the Andrographis paniculata, a scene that stunned all the sect leaders. Qu Yun played his flute, which finally calmed Ah Liang down.

Li Chengen bent down to pick up the *Andrographis paniculata* from the ground, slightly surprised: "What kind of evil substance is this Pure Yang True Essence Powder that it produces such a wicked effect on poisonous people!"

Li Wangsheng also looked puzzled and explained, "Our Chunyang Palace's Hanzhen Powder is simply called Hanzhen Powder. Chunyang Palace is cold and dry, so this is just a skincare product."

After saying this, he took out a bottle of genuine Hanzhen powder from his pocket, poured some into his hand, and then rubbed it on his face.

Upon hearing this, the various sect leaders squeezed the bottle with all their might, revealing the Andrographis paniculata inside! (Read thrilling novels at Feilu Novel Network!)

"As expected of the sect leader, his thought process is truly extraordinary. Compared to the other sect leaders, he stands out as quite unique!"

The moment Sect Leader Li Wangsheng spoke, he stood out from the crowd! He was like a husky that looked completely out of place among a pack of wolves.

And what's more, it's called "Hanzhen San" (含真散), not a medical product, but a skincare product?! Why would you call a skincare product "Hanzhen San"?! Can't your Chunyang Palace at least offer some legitimate Taoist products...?

Those watching from outside the video were speechless. They were all too afraid to look directly at Chunyang Palace now. What a bizarre sect! Not only was the sect leader unreliable, but the disciples were unreliable too, and now even the products they sold were unreliable!

However, many people later discovered a blind spot: Andrographis paniculata does not seem to be as rare as Assassin said; in fact, it can be said to be found everywhere!

Shen Jianxin, a man of chivalry and righteousness

"Hahaha, it looks like our Chunyang Palace's Hanzhen Powder is going to sell like hotcakes! My advertising wasn't in vain!" Li Wangsheng put his hands on his hips and laughed triumphantly.

"Sect Leader, can we talk about serious matters?" Yu Rui's face darkened. Was this the time to talk about this?

"Ahem!" Li Wangsheng coughed, becoming serious. "No matter what their schemes are, if they want to harm my Chunyang Palace disciple Shen Jianxin, then I believe I, on the screen, will naturally not stand idly by!"

[Valley Master Dongfang Yuxuan of the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers suddenly looked at Li Wangsheng: "Sect Leader Li, you haven't told everyone why you've come to the Five Poisons Sect?!"]

Li Wangsheng pulled out a newspaper, looked at the news, and said to everyone, "I've come here to find out where my closed-door disciple, Shen Jianxin, is!"

[Only then did the sect leaders realize that Shen Jianxin had already returned to the Central Plains, and the recent newspaper reports were indeed written by him!]

Li Chengen of the Tian Ce Mansion stepped forward and questioned, "Li Wangsheng! This is a man whose every move can influence the entire martial arts world. Why didn't you inform us sooner?"

Li Wangsheng's face darkened, and he said sternly, "Sect Leaders! Do my disciples need your permission to return to the Central Plains?!"

Abbot Xuanzheng also stepped forward: "Let me speak the truth. Based on my many years of experience in managing Shaolin, once Shen Jianxin appears, the martial world will surely be plunged into bloodshed!"

At this point, Xuanzheng's gaze towards Li Wangsheng sharpened: "Sect Leader Li, are you still hiding something? Could it be that your Chunyang Palace disciples have some connection with the Poison Man?"

Li Wangsheng was unconvinced. A faint blue light emanated from his body, revealing a powerful aura, and his eyes turned fierce: "Xuanzheng, what did you say…!!"

Their mere presence was enough to make them involuntarily take a step back.

"Holy crap!! How did this sect leader suddenly become so handsome? And this old scoundrel actually has such strength."

"I have to say, the sect leader is really too good to Shen Jianxin! I thought he was just a funny old man, but the only time he showed his strength, he directly shocked the other sect leaders."

Seeing their sect leader being so protective of his own was incredibly touching; he was not only clear-headed but also incredibly powerful.

Although he usually just likes to spout inspirational quotes, his sudden display of domineering charisma completely dazzled everyone.

"So never underestimate a comedic character; once they get serious, you might not even be able to beat them." The anonymous man continued doing his job of making sarcastic remarks, as always.

"Daddy! Daddy! That sect leader is so handsome!" Nezha flexed his muscular physique, then suddenly hugged Li Jing tightly. The latter coughed up blood and fainted from the terrifying force.

Under one person

"Although Li Wangsheng loves to spout motivational platitudes, he wouldn't be the head of Chunyang Palace if he didn't have the ability," Wang Ye said with a faint smile. This Headmaster Li was truly fascinating, both in personality and in other aspects.

However, Chunyang Palace is truly a place where hidden talents abound. Yu Rui of Chunyang Palace was the first to see that Shen Jianxin possessed unparalleled skills, which was enough to show that Yu Rui was not simple. In addition, there was Xie Yunliu, who was called the senior brother, and the mysterious Heavenly Dao Sword.

Shen Jianxin, a man of chivalry and righteousness

Shen Jianxin, with tears welling in his eyes, looked at the screen with adoration: "Chunyang Palace, I'm definitely coming!!"

Although the sect leader is a bit stingy and hasn't given a raise in years, he loves to spout motivational platitudes! He's also not very serious most of the time.

But honestly, who wouldn't want a leader who can guide you when you're confused, and who's also so protective of their own? It's incredibly reassuring.

Seeing Li Wangsheng about to erupt in anger, seemingly ready to fight at the slightest provocation, Abbot Xuanzheng quickly intervened to calm him down, saying, "Wangsheng! This old monk... I just wanted to ask what Shen Jianxin was up to, please don't get agitated!"

Upon hearing this, Li Wangsheng also withdrew his imposing aura, the Tai Chi symbol behind him gradually faded, and his expression returned to calm: "I also don't know where he is!"

"I suspect Shen Jianxin's trip is definitely related to this Heart-Piercing Lotus. You sect leaders all possess Pure Yang True Essence Powder made from this substance, which is the key to Wu Menggui's poison-making technique!"

Abbot Xuanzheng pondered for a moment, then a terrifying thought occurred to him. His gaze fell upon the flute in Qu Yun's hand: "Benefactor Qu, is it possible for anyone to master Wu Menggui's technique for creating poisonous beings?"

Qu Yun nodded: "That's right, ordinary people can be refined into poison beings, and then they can gain powerful strength."

[Dongfang Yuxuan, the Valley Master of Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, stepped forward, his expression quite solemn: "Then... if it was someone whose martial arts were originally unparalleled!"]

"Abbot, why are you so cowardly... This change of expression is truly exceptional."

"And what Valley Master Dongfang meant by asking this question was that the other party's goal was to refine Shen Jianxin into a poisonous being!!"

"Turning Shen Jianxin into a poisonous person?!" This thought, once it appeared in everyone's minds, lingered there! This seemed to be the best explanation for the recent events.

However, those watching the video still felt a little doubtful. Was the Assassins' elaborate efforts to lure Shen Jianxin back to the Central Plains solely for this purpose?

"The stronger the cultivator being refined, the greater the power of the resulting poisonous human." Qu Yun's words shocked all the sect leaders present, and each of them was plunged into different speculations.

[Li Chengen of the Tian Ce Mansion speculated that if Shen Jianxin were refined into a poison-wielding human, he would be like Superman in Chang'an, shooting lasers from his eyes and wreaking havoc, invincible!]

Dongfang Yuxuan, on the other hand, fantasized that Li Wangsheng was playing the flute, then controlling Shen Jianxin, who had been turned into a poison man, to wreak havoc everywhere.

Ye Zhiqing of the Seven Showers Sect imagined Shen Jianxin transforming into a giant, climbing up the stairs, and roaring with his blood-red maw! That day, people remembered the fear of being dominated by a giant.

"One has to admire the imaginative and ingenious ideas of the various sect leaders, but everyone has a different view of Shen Jianxin, and the scenes they imagine are also somewhat different."

In fact, those watching the video thought the sect leaders were being overly worried. Leaving aside whether the other side could actually turn Shen Jianxin into a poison man, Shen Jianxin's formidable strength made him impossible to capture!
