After absorbing Si Xiaoyun's corpse energy, the Poison Demon did not hesitate any longer and turned to run outside. Now that Si Xiaoyun was dead, it was already a miracle that Shili Xuanling would not only fail to protect him, but also not send assassins to hunt him down.

Escaping from Lingzhou City now is the best course of action.

But when he opened the door, the corpses lying haphazardly in the passageway still surprised him greatly.

The way these guards died was exactly the same as Si Xiaoyun's in the room. Who on earth had such great ability to kill everyone on the fourth floor silently?

However, the Poison Demon did not linger on the corpses of these guards. They were only slightly stronger than ordinary people and were not worth his time.

Si Xiaoyun is different. Although her martial arts skills are mediocre, she is, after all, a member of the Ten Miles of Suspended Bells. Countless medicinal treasures have been used on her. If she hadn't been distracted from cultivation, she would be a well-known figure in the martial arts world today.

The Poison Demon hurried downstairs, but Lou Xianyue, who had just been walking alongside Su Ning, seemed to sense something. Suddenly, the jade bone fan in her sleeve spun out, its edge gleaming with a cold light, and a chilling killing intent flew straight toward the Poison Demon who had just come downstairs.

"Kong Qing!" Lou Xianyue called out again.

Kong Qing, who had just been sitting in the private room, burst out of the room upon hearing the call. With her eyes fixed on her target, she slashed fiercely at the Poison Demon with her long sword.

The Poison Demon had just absorbed Si Xiaoyun's corpse energy and was currently repairing his internal injuries. However, he did not expect that there would be such a perceptive person downstairs. He had deliberately kept his footsteps low, but he was caught red-handed.

The jade fan flew straight toward him. If he were hit, he would be crippled even if he didn't die. He immediately circulated his inner strength, and the fan flying toward him seemed to encounter a barrier and could not break through it for a long time, so it stopped in mid-air.

"Ha!" With a wave of his hand, the Poison Demon hurled the fan at Lou Xianyue again.

The jade-bone fan flew towards Su Ning and Lou Xianyue from the air again, but neither of them moved. The young man in black first blocked Su Ning's way, his gaze falling on the fan that had been knocked back, and then he stretched out his hand.

The jade fan seemed to have lost all its sharpness, and after spinning once in the boy's hand, it unfolded completely again.

Su Ning stepped forward and saw that Kong Qing was already locked in combat with the poison demon. The demon was clearly surprised by Kong Qing's moves, raising its eyes and asking, "Lone Peak Cloud-Cutting Technique—are you from the Lou family?"

Kong Qing, however, fought even more fiercely: "Enough nonsense, you thief, why don't you surrender?"

The Poison Demon clearly didn't want to get entangled with the Lou family, so he immediately threw out a handful of poison powder. Kong Qing immediately retreated to avoid it, but the thief seized the opportunity and flew straight downstairs.

After the poison powder dissipated, Kong Qing glanced back at Lou Xianyue, and after receiving a nod of approval from the other party, she immediately chased after him.

The people in the Treasures of the World were obviously unaware of the news from the outside world, but they saw a ragged person flying down from the third floor, with someone chasing after him.

Si Xiaoyun's death was something he hadn't expected, but the world's rare treasures weren't under Si Xiaoyun's control, so the Poison Demon didn't dare to be too reckless here.

He stepped onto the tables on the first floor and ran straight towards the door. Among the people sitting on the first floor were some martial arts practitioners who were short of money but had considerable skills.

He immediately grabbed the other person's sleeve and yelled, "Hey! Who are you? Do you know where you are? How dare you cause trouble here?"

Without a second thought, the Poison Demon waved his hand and scattered a handful of poison powder. The man had barely touched it when his face began to rot horribly, and he eventually bled from all seven orifices and collapsed to the ground dead.

The gruesome sight of the death caused an uproar, and everyone kept their distance.

Some recognized him as the heinous villain on the wanted poster: "Yes, it's the Poison Demon!"

The entire lobby, and even the second and third floors, were in an uproar. The middle-aged man presiding over the auction had long since hidden behind the curtain, grabbing a servant beside him and snarling, "What's the Poison Demon doing here? Where's the master?"

The servant whose collar had been grabbed stammered, "Sir, Miss Si sent him away."

At the same time, Song Hengxue also jumped out of the window and rushed to the fourth floor, where he naturally saw Si Xiaoyun, who was tied up in the air.

Before I could even check, I was disturbed by the noise downstairs, so I immediately pushed open the door and went down to the fourth floor.

Su Ning naturally sensed from the wind that Song Hengxue had arrived.

Lou Xianyue insisted on taking her back, saying, "The Poison Demon is downstairs. It's not safe for you to follow me. I'll take you back to your private room first, and then I'll go catch the thief."

Su Ning naturally wouldn't go back to cause trouble. She hadn't given the gifts to the other party yet, and if she went back, given You Xunchun's cunning nature, she might suspect that she had some connection with Si Xiaoyun's murder.

She hasn't revealed the other party's background yet, so naturally she won't expose her hand first.

Lou Xianyue was not easy to deal with, but just then Song Hengxue arrived.

Su Ning acted decisively, lifting her veil and grabbing the sleeve of the person in front of her. Lou Xianyue was about to turn his head to look at her.

But then he noticed that the front of his clothes was slightly tight, and the person in front of him had already tiptoed closer, enveloping him in a rich fragrance. What happened next, however, left him completely stunned.

"hold me."

The girl's lips were soft and warm, and the tip of her nose gently brushed against his cheek. The faint fragrance in her breath enveloped the warmth on his lips, making his thin lips melt instantly, and even his teeth were filled with that soft warmth.

The nanmu box was thrown to the ground with a dull thud. Before her mind could even process what was happening, her hands moved in accordance with his will. He grabbed her waist and pinned her against the corner wall.

Su Ning simply touched the other person's lips lightly, but the person in front of her seemed to understand it perfectly without any instruction, as if she were cooking oil over a raging fire.

Lou Xianyue sucked on the girl's soft lips, one hand holding the back of her neck to prevent her from escaping. The kiss was deep and hot, making Su Ning's body weak and sore.

Song Hengxue immediately noticed the strangeness in the corner, but when he saw what the young master Lou, whom he had met not long ago, was doing, he quickly moved on. He had no interest in the other man's life; catching the poison demon downstairs was the most important thing.
