Immortality begins with exchanging talent attributes.

Braving the heavy rain, Zhou Yan returned to Dongshi once again.

Along the way, everyone he saw, whether pedestrians, vendors, or ordinary people who couldn't escape, was dressed in red.

This made him even more anxious.

When he arrived at the shop where Sister Zhu and Zhu Zhu had taken shelter from the rain, there were even more people under the eaves than before.

Many people crowded there, patting the rain off their sleeves while muttering curses at the sudden downpour.

Sister-in-law Zhu was still holding Zhu Zhu as she stood in the crowd.

The little girl's eyes were red, clearly she had been quite frightened by Zhou Yan.

When she saw Zhou Yan return, her eyes lit up at first, but then she shrank back with a somewhat aggrieved expression.

Without saying much, he took a few steps to the outside of the eaves.

"Sister-in-law, take the pill first."

As he spoke, he opened the porcelain bottle, poured out two antidote pills, and gently tossed them over under the umbrella.

Although Zhu's sister-in-law didn't understand why, seeing Zhou Yan's serious expression, she immediately took one pill and swallowed it, and then coaxed Zhu Zhu to eat the other one.

Shortly after the pills were ingested, the red glow above Zhu's and Zhu's heads began to fade rapidly.

Zhou Yan finally let out a long breath.

"Little Zhuzhu".

Looking at the little girl, he tried to keep his voice as soft as possible.

"I was wrong to yell at you just now. Don't be angry with me, okay? I'll buy you osmanthus cake."

Zhu Zhu blinked her big, tearful eyes.

"real?"

"real."

Zhou Yan nodded.

  Updates take time and effort, so please remember to share 101kanshu.com.

"When has your brother ever lied to you?"

Children are so easy to coax. When Zhou Yan nodded in assurance, the little girl's tearful face immediately broke into a smile.

He smiled at Xiao Zhuzhu, then looked up at Sister-in-law Zhu.

"Sister-in-law, remember, never touch the rain again."

Sister-in-law Zhu's face turned pale, and she nodded hurriedly.

"Ayan, I understand. And your third brother…"

"I'll go back now."

After Zhou Yan finished speaking, he didn't linger and turned to rush into the rain.

Before long, he returned to Zhu Asan's house, informed Zhu's wife and the other woman that they were safe, repeatedly warned them not to get wet in the rain, gave them the antidote pill, and then returned to the Xuanyi Guard.

At this moment, Lu Qingshuang had clearly given the order that all the Xuan Yi Guards who were caught in the rain should take antidote pills.

The red text has disappeared.

Upon Zhou Yan's return, Li Kun informed him that Lu Qingshuang was waiting for him in the lobby.

When he entered the hall, he saw not only Lu Qingshuang, but also Shen Heng standing to the side, while Shen Zhongheng and a long-faced middle-aged man wearing a black official robe with silver trim were sitting at the head of the table.

The moment he entered, everyone looked at him.

Zhou Yan remained expressionless, clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, and said:

"Your subordinate Zhou Yan greets all of you esteemed officials."

Shen Zhongheng glanced at him and frowned slightly.

"It's you again, you little jailer?"

Lu Qingshuang suddenly interrupted, her tone cold and devoid of any emotion:

"I have already recruited Zhou Yan into the Black-Clad Guard."

Upon hearing this, Shen Heng's body stiffened, and his facial muscles twitched.

"Well……"

Shen Zhongheng seemed to choke, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

"Alright, we can discuss the rest later."

The long-faced middle-aged man waved his hand and said something, then looked at Zhou Yan and said:

"Your name is Zhou... Zhou Yan, right? Senior Mo, are you really saying that the Wusheng Sect has not withdrawn from Qingzhou City?"

Zhou Yan raised his head slightly, and a blue light came into view.

[Sudden Storm (Blue)]

The target state is stable; exchanging terms requires a lifespan of 320 years.

Blue entries.

Judging from his appearance, his strength is not low either.

He glanced at the other person, then at Lu Qingshuang, and hesitated.

"This is Commander Ma. Just tell the truth."

Only after receiving Lu Qingshuang's reply did Zhou Yan speak.

"Yes, Senior Mo said that the person who is refining pills for the Wusheng Sect this time is Wan Ning, a traitor from Medicine King Valley. This person's pill refining skills are superb, and once he starts the furnace, he will never stop."

Mo Yunfeng had only speculated at the time, but now that the blood poison rain had fallen, Zhou Yan was basically certain that the other party had not withdrawn.

really.

Upon hearing the name "Wanning," Ma Qianhu's expression darkened.

"This madman is still alive?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Qingshuang turned around, clasped her hands in a fist and said:

"Commander, I believe we should immediately conduct a thorough investigation of the entire city. We must not allow these sorcerers to succeed in their plot."

Commander Ma nodded, and was about to speak when Shen Zhongheng said:

"Check the entire city? With so few people, how can we possibly check?"

He pondered for a moment, as if he had suddenly thought of something.

"I think we should immediately lock down the entire city. We'll send people to guard it, and the rest of us will search the whole city bit by bit!"

Zhou Yan's brows furrowed slightly. "Seal off the entire city?"

At first glance, this statement seems quite reasonable.

But he always felt that something was wrong.

What if the Wusheng Sect simply doesn't want them to leave?

Isn't this exactly what the other party wanted?

Just then, Shen Heng suddenly looked at Zhou Yan.

"We are all familiar with the symptoms of blood poisoning, but the person who got caught in the rain didn't emit any unusual fragrance. How did you know there was poison in the rain?"

The lobby fell silent instantly.

Several gazes fell on Zhou Yan again.

Zhou Yan was also taken aback upon hearing this.

Looking up at Shen Heng, he saw that the other man was staring intently at him, looking as if he had him completely under his thumb.

Something is wrong!

He cursed inwardly, but showed no expression on his face. He clasped his hands in a fist and said:

"Young Master Shen, of course this was said by Senior Mo, how could I possibly know?"

"However... Senior Mo said that this blood poison seems to have been modified by Wan Ning, and it is different from what is recorded in the classics."

He paused, then said:

"If Lord Shen feels that the rain is harmless, he may also get soaked himself."

The atmosphere in the hall paused slightly.

A cold glint flashed in Shen Heng's eyes.

Zhou Yan lowered his eyes, as if he hadn't said anything.

"you……"

Shen Heng was about to speak again when he was interrupted by Commander Ma.

"Alright, enough of the small talk. Let's do as Commander Shen says, seal off the city gates, and begin the search immediately."

He then turned to look at Shen Zhongheng and said:

"Commander Shen, I am..."

Suddenly, a shrill, piercing laugh, indistinguishable between male and female, came from outside the hall, interrupting Commander Ma's words.

"Hehehe... Lord Shen, I've arrived, why don't you come out to greet me?"

Shen Zhongheng's face suddenly darkened.

"Gong Changying!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already rushed out of the hall.

Ma Chengfeng was also extremely fast, almost leaping out one after the other, just like Shen Zhongheng.

"Gong Changying, you androgynous monster, you've walked right into my trap. Today, I, Shen, will suppress you on the spot."

Shen Zhongheng's loud voice boomed through the rain.

Immediately afterwards, the sounds of intense fighting erupted outside.

When Zhou Yan and Lu Qingshuang rushed out, they saw three figures already locked in battle on the rooftop.

Gong Changying's figure was elusive, her robes fluttering in the rain.

Despite being attacked by two commanders, he showed no sign of panic; instead, his laughter grew even more grating.

The next moment, a short, stocky figure wearing a pig-face mask and wielding a long sword leaped onto the roof from the other side.

The man brandished his long sword, its cold light cutting through the air, and forcefully intercepted Ma Chengfeng.

Ma Chengfeng's weapon was a black iron chain. With a flick of his wrist, the chain clashed several times with the opponent's longsword, sparks flying in the rain.

"Killing Sword! Who are you...?"

Before Ma Qianhu could finish speaking, the man with the pig-faced mask, his sword flashing fiercely and filled with murderous intent, charged straight at Ma Chengfeng's vitals.

Four powerful individuals engaged in a fierce battle on the rooftop, causing astonishing destruction.

The curtain of rain was torn open by the force of the air, and then quickly closed again.

Zhou Yan, who was watching from below, keenly noticed that the bodies of the group seemed to have an invisible film covering them, so the rainwater did not stick to them but slid off to the side.

What kind of ability is this?

Lu Qingshuang's expression darkened slightly, and she made a decision immediately.

"Order all teams to seal the city gates, inform the people to take shelter from the rain, and the rest to hold their posts."

"yes!"

One of the guards in black was about to accept his orders and leave.

A sound of killing came from the main gate.

"This is a heavily guarded area of ​​the Black-Clad Guards. Who are you?"

"Neither born nor dying, the black lotus endures forever, kill!"

A series of sounds of swords clashing rang out.

A moment later, a group of masked men carrying weapons rushed in.

Lu Qingshuang's eyes turned cold. She drew her longsword and shouted sharply:

"Charge!"

The sound of swords being drawn was incessant, and the members of the Black-Clad Guards charged forward.

Looking at the chaos before him, Zhou Yan felt a headache coming on.

What exactly is going on? What is the Wusheng Sect planning to do?

Before he could think any further, a man wielding a knife rushed towards him.

The long sword cut through the rain, slashing straight at his face.

Zhou Yan shifted his feet slightly and stepped aside to avoid the attack.

He reached out with his left hand and grabbed the other person's wrist.

Click!

His wrist broke on the spot.

The man had barely screamed when Zhou Yan kicked him in the chest.

You're asking for death with just a little training!

boom!

The man with the knife was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the courtyard, where he fell silent.

Zhou Yan's eyes sharpened, and he was about to step forward again.

next moment.

In the direction of the county government office.

A blinding red light shot into the sky, transforming into a pillar of light that pierced the heavens, turning the dark clouds in the sky a blood red.
