After being reborn as an ugly cannon fodder, my appearance stats are off the charts!

Recently, a rumor has been circulating widely.

A miraculous elixir has appeared in the martial arts world.

It is said that this elixir is extraordinary, its wonders are evident to the naked eye, and whoever can consume it will become the best in the world!

When the rumor first spread, few people believed it.

How could such a good thing happen? You can become the number one martial artist just by taking a pill?

But soon, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion announced that it would auction the divine pill at the Wanzhen Tower in Xiangcheng.

It should be noted that the last time the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion spread the news far and wide, it was when they said that the Holy Son of the Hidden Demon Sect was the most handsome man in the world, and that no one in all ages could surpass him!

Even with such an exaggerated description, those who were fortunate enough to meet the Holy Son later still felt it wasn't enough. Many people were completely bewitched after just one meeting, wanting nothing more than to follow him. Those who were forcibly taken home and locked up were barely appeased, but there were still those who disregarded the dangers of the journey to chase after him, chanting the words "Holy Son" even on their deathbeds.

Presumably, that holy son's beauty must have been "stunningly" extraordinary...

Therefore, it is clear that even if the words of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion are exaggerated, they are not impossible.

Besides, the reason why those three families have been able to cast a shadow over the entire world for so many years is because those three people are too skilled and powerful in martial arts.

If only my family could also become that strong...

Once a person harbors expectations, they will unconsciously think about things in the direction they expect.

The elixir immediately became something everyone wanted.

Linjiang City.

E Feng's attitude has been inexplicably amiable these past few days. When he's with Yan An, he always acts like a servant, wishing he could help him dress and feed him.

This made Yan An feel uneasy.

When news of the elixir reached this place, E Feng, unusually, lost his composure for a moment.

Yan An noticed this and asked E Feng, "Master, is this divine pill real?"

"Whether it's real or fake doesn't matter," E Feng said, looking at Yan An with a deep gaze. "Once I get my hands on it, I'll know for sure..."

Yan An felt that the timing of this elixir was too coincidental.

"Will the leader take me with him? What if I told him that the river view here is excellent and I want to stay here for a while longer, instead of going anywhere else?"

Looking at Yan An's somewhat nonchalant expression, E Feng said meaningfully, "Alright."

E Feng's easygoing nature only fueled Yan An's suspicions.

……

E Feng left Linjiang City, leaving behind a group of demonic sect disciples, including "Blood Edge," to protect the Holy Son.

With the great villain Efeng absent, the atmosphere in the city seemed even more tense.

A sense of tension, like a storm brewing overhead and still waters running deep beneath the ground, grew stronger day by day.

Until one afternoon.

A carrier pigeon flew overhead.

As the pigeon flew, it suddenly heard the call of its kind. The sound inexplicably attracted it strongly, and it immediately flew towards the direction from which the sound came.

Yan An caught the pigeon and removed the small bamboo tube tied to its leg.

Take out and unfold a small piece of paper from it.

He didn't know who sent the secret message to whom, but he intercepted it to take a look.

The sign above simply reads: "The three have arrived at Xiangcheng."

It appears to be a secret letter, yet it doesn't even use code names or other vague terms to refer to the place.

Xiangcheng was the place Efeng was going to obtain the divine elixir.

The three people mentioned here can only refer to E Feng, Xie Shihong, and Zhong Lijun.

The sky gradually darkened.

A muffled rumble of thunder came from overhead.

Yan An tightened his grip on the note. He had sensed someone nearby as soon as he called the pigeons down; the other person had been observing him.

At this moment, the person had openly revealed his form.

"Blood Edge," dressed in flowing white robes, gracefully approached Yan An.

This is a completely different form from the real Bloodthirster.

It's obvious that the other party doesn't want to act anymore.

It all happened right at the point in time when E Feng wasn't there...

Therefore, it was hard for Yan An not to suspect: "Is the divine elixir related to you?"

"Blood Edge" removed his mask, and the dark patterns on his skin were gone, but underneath was still an unfamiliar face. When Yan An asked him questions, he just smiled and remained silent.

Yan An frowned slightly. "Could it be that the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion is also yours...? Just who are you?"

"Why don't you take a guess, Holy Son?" The other person's voice was equally unfamiliar.

Yan An said coldly, "If I kill you and skin you alive, I'll naturally know who you really are."

Before the words were even finished, Yan An had already pounced on him.

The man chuckled. Seeing Yan An's resolute action, he neither dodged nor avoided, but instead advanced. The two men's sleeves fluttered, and they were instantly entangled together. At first glance, it seemed as if they were about to hold hands and embrace, but in reality, they were engaged in a fierce and murderous fight.

As soon as the two started fighting, Yan An discovered that his opponent's martial arts also came from the Heavenly Demon True Technique, and that his opponent's skill level was obviously superior to his own.

The other party suddenly stopped. Yan An's nose was extremely sensitive and she could smell a certain scent. She knew that he had drugged her, but she pretended not to know and stopped her actions for the time being.

Yan Anxin thought to himself: This person is indeed a member of the Hidden Demon Sect.

He was able to disguise himself as Xue Feng well—although Yan An noticed something was wrong at the Lingchun Banquet, it was a flaw he intentionally revealed himself. It should be noted that Xue Feng usually dealt with the other disciples of the Demonic Sect who were close to him or his subordinates. And few of those people were stupid. They did not notice anything wrong when they were with this person, which means that this person must have observed Xue Feng for quite some time before he replaced him.

Besides E Feng, who are the remaining members of the Hidden Demon Sect who know the Heavenly Demon True Technique?

A list appeared in Yan An's mind.

Like reciting a menu, Yan An decided to start with the first name, saying directly, "You are, Wu Xiang?"

"The Holy Son guessed right away." The other party laughed happily. Although his face was still that unfamiliar face, his voice had become Wuxiang's, still with a tone that always contained a smile and a hint of frivolity.

It turned out to be Wuxiang... Yan An wasn't particularly surprised.

He was just wondering when Efeng would arrive.

Yan An didn't believe that E Feng was unaware that the hype surrounding the Divine Pill was too suspicious. At the time, Yan An deliberately requested not to go to Xiangcheng with them, and he suspected that E Feng's quick agreement was just a ploy.

E Feng should know that someone behind the scenes wants to lure him away.

In Yan An's view, this was an opportunity.

This could be an opportunity for him to truly get rid of Efeng for a while.

Therefore, Yan'an waited after E Feng left.

We've waited until now.

At this moment, Yan An felt his body weaken and his internal energy stagnated.

It's like being poisoned by a muscle-relaxing drug.

One hand wrapped around his waist.

Wu Xiang led Yan An toward an uninhabited courtyard.

Once inside the room, they activated a mechanism hidden under the bed.

Through the secret passage, the two entered an underground tunnel.

Yan An could only hear Wu Xiang's sticky, murmuring voice.

"Holy Son, from the first time I saw you, I thought that one day, only I in this world could see you, and you could only smile at me, speak to me, and be with me... I have rebuilt the Heavenly Pivot Palace, and now it is a perfect underground divine palace..."

Tian Shu Hall, Tian Ji Pavilion?

It seems that Wuxiang's identity is not as simple as that of a member of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion...

Yan An recalled what Wu Xiang, disguised as Xue Feng, had said to him at the Linshui Pavilion after reporting on the male protagonist's senior and junior siblings.

Looking back now, Wudang had said that E Feng was outstanding in appearance, highly skilled in martial arts, and held a huge power, etc. ... It was only because E Feng was still in Linjiang City at the time that he had to use E Feng to say these things. In fact, he seemed to be talking about E Feng, but he was actually talking about himself.

Therefore, when Wuxiang finally asked Yan'an why he treated Han Tianshuo differently, it was entirely for his own sake.

"What is the Holy Son thinking?" Wu Xiang led Yan An into a cave and leaned close to him, saying, "I long to hear the voice in the Holy Son's heart..."

Yan An was unable to move, but could still speak: "You want to lock me up? It's no use. E Feng will always find me."

Wu Xiang's smile deepened. "The Holy Son is right. Before taking you away, there is indeed one more thing to do—that is to remove the demonic incense from your body."

Yan An had previously tried to run away, but he was always caught by E Feng before twelve hours had passed. This was the reason.

The incense of the demonic insects is a venomous insect.

Yan An paused in his breathing upon thinking of the Gu worms.

As long as this issue can be resolved, making it difficult for E Feng to track his location, that's fine.

As for Wuxiang, Yan'an stared coldly at him as he approached, his lips forced open, revealing Wuxiang's tongue, which resembled a snake.

Not long after, Yan An felt a foreign object in his throat; the Gu worm had finally crawled out of his body.

Yan An felt a wave of nausea.
