Wild Dogs

Xuan Yang was furious and shouted as soon as he opened his mouth.

But Xue Ming didn't believe him at all.

"What you're saying can only fool outsiders."

Do you think I'd believe that?

Xue Ming's tone was as cold as ice.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yang revealed a sinister smile.

"Old man, you're quite shrewd and suspicious."

Clearly, Xuan Yang was also convinced that Xue Ming had secretly hidden the treasure.

The two people distrusted each other, and neither was willing to believe the other.

Just then, a thought suddenly popped into Yang Fan's mind.

Now is the best time to take action.

He carefully took out the poison he had prepared in advance.

This poison was colorless and odorless, and he divided it into two portions and packaged them separately.

The toxicity only occurs when two poisons are mixed together.

If the two portions of poison were mixed together directly, these two cultivators would definitely discover it on the spot.

Yang Fan lowered his head, pondering possible solutions.

Before long, he came up with a safe idea.

He slowly walked to Lady Lianhua's side, pretending to be anxious, and loudly tried to persuade the two fighting people to make peace.

"Master, Uncle-Master."

"We've all come this far together, there's really no need for us to fight like this."

After hearing Yang Fan's advice to make peace, Xue Ming snorted coldly.

"What do you mean, 'people who came all the way here'?"

"I have a deep-seated hatred for this old man, we are irreconcilable enemies, and he is not a comrade at all."

"You little brat, mind your own business and shut up right now."

Yang Fan feigned helplessness and stomped his foot.

Taking advantage of a lull in the two men's argument, he quietly slipped one of the poisons onto Lady Lianhua.

Lady Lianhua, being secretly manipulated by him, immediately and carefully hid the poison.

After finishing this task, Yang Fan quickly stepped forward, picked up a bottle of pills, and secretly mixed another dose of poison into the pills.

He then held the bottle of pills in both hands and respectfully handed it to Xue Ming.

"Master."

"Take a pill first to restore your spiritual energy."

Xue Ming glanced at the pill, shook his head repeatedly, and took a few steps back.

"There's no need to take any pills."

"I don't need to restore my spiritual energy to deal with this old bastard."

Seeing that Xue Ming had no intention of taking the pills, Yang Fan couldn't help but feel anxious.

If poisoning doesn't work, and the two of them fight to the death, who knows how long it will take.

Yang Fan couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

The opportunity is fleeting; if the two reconcile, he'll be completely finished!

Fortunately, at that moment, a loud noise came from outside the secret chamber.

Yang Fan and Xue Ming turned their heads to look at the same time.

The bronze gate, which had been tightly shut, had now been smashed open from the outside.

"Hey, a mouse sneaked in beforehand, interesting."

The door was opened, and several figures rushed in from outside.

Seeing Xue Ming and Xuan Yang fighting, the group couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks.

Upon seeing someone barge in, the two who were fighting instantly stopped.

These two will naturally fight amongst themselves, but the premise of such fighting is the absence of external enemies. Even if external enemies appear, they will still remain united.

Therefore, the two of them immediately stopped fighting and turned to look at the intruder.

"What are you doing?"

Xue Ming asked coldly.

"What are you doing?"

"Of course, it means you have to hand over the things."

The leader of the group that barged in, a Core Formation cultivator, snorted coldly and pointed to the altar in front of him.

"The place is empty. The item must be on you. Hand it over now."

Upon hearing this, Xue Ming was about to say something when Xuan Yang's eyes flickered and he nodded.

"Fine, here's the stuff. But I'm telling you beforehand, you have to spare my life if I give you the stuff."

"Alright, as long as you hand over the items honestly, I can certainly spare your life."

As the leader spoke, he looked eagerly at Xuan Yang.

"Give us the things now."

Seeing this, Xuan Yang pointed to the exit to the side.

"You've blocked the exit over there, how are we supposed to get out?"

Upon hearing this, the group snorted coldly.

"How can I make way for you if I don't give you anything?"

Xuan Yang clenched his fists.

"Sir, if you push us too far and we fight to the death, you won't be happy either; someone will definitely suffer a great loss."

"If you clear the exit now, I will give you the goods, and then we will leave immediately."

As he spoke, Xuan Yang gave Xue Ming a wink.

Seeing this, Xue Ming understood, and the two nodded slightly, each taking out a jade box from their hands.

"Here it is. Just make way and it's yours."

As they spoke, the two hurriedly looked to the side in the moonlight.

Upon seeing this, Yang Fan's heart stirred.

The jade box was clearly still empty; there was nothing of value inside, and it was even possible that the two of them had added something poisonous to it.

However, Yang Fan knew that this was also a rare opportunity to escape, so he immediately and carefully followed behind Xue Ming.

Seeing this, Xue Ming glanced at him and remained silent.

Clearly, in his view, Yang Fan still had value and there was no need to kill him now.

"Master, your strength is too weak. Please help me."

Yang Fan hurriedly spoke to Xue Ming, knowing that if Xue Ming really escaped, he would be in trouble.

Unexpectedly, Xue Ming glanced at him and then shook his head.

"Kid, you'd better stay here quietly. You're no longer of any use to us."

"Since you're useless, why should I carry a burden?"

Then he looked at the intruders and lowered his voice to speak to Yang Fan.

"These people are after the treasure. Even if they fight, they'll fight me, not you."

Hearing this, Yang Fan was surprised. He didn't expect Xue Ming to be so easy to talk to. He thought that Xue Ming might even take the initiative to attack him.

However, since Xue Ming didn't have that intention, Yang Fan was happy to see it happen.

He stood aside in silence. Since a major battle might break out between the two sides, it was best for him not to get involved.

Thinking of this, Yang Fan hid far away to the side.

After a while, the dozens of cultivators who had barged in hesitated for a moment before making way.

They were not clear about Xuan Yang and Xue Ming's strength, but judging from their previous encounters, the two were not simple fighters.

Since that was the case, they didn't want to offend Xuan Yang and Xue Ming, so they simply made way for them to leave.

"Alright, the road has been cleared for you. You can leave now. Don't say we didn't give you a chance."

As they spoke, the group looked arrogantly at Xue Ming and Xuan Yang.

Seeing this, Xue Ming and Xuan Yang nodded slightly.

"No problem."

The two then exchanged a glance, and simultaneously tossed the jade boxes in their hands away.

At the same time, Xue Ming and Xuan Yang immediately rushed outside.
