Chapter 104  : Untitled (3)

“Don’t worry, I promise you’ll be pleased with the result.” Xiao Ran smiled with a mischievous glint.

Huang Feng nodded and hastily dragged his bride away with him.

Xiao Ran stood up and looked sternly at everyone present. “Today is his wedding. Everyone, drink and eat to your heart’s content! If I catch anyone not extending the same courtesy to us, don’t blame me for not showing him any courtesy!”

Everyone demurred, saying they wouldn’t dare.

They then took their seats.

Shen Yiming and Little Zhou were getting anxious. There were people surrounding them everywhere, and some were even staring at them. They couldn’t add the drug into the drinks even if they wanted to.

“My lord, what should we do, sir?” Little Zhou asked.

“Just do it!” Shen Yiming rolled his eyes at him.

The man beside them poured two bowls of wine from the wine jar and placed the bowls in front of them.

Holding his own wine bowl, he asked in jest, “Lord Shen, surely you will drink a toast with me?”

Peering at the wine, Shen Yiming blinked a few times. He could detect a familiar scent from it.

It was the smell of the Spirit Calming Powder.

It was almost undetectable, but he was the one who bought the drug. After studying it for so long, he was very familiar with its properties.

His eyes lit up and he thought to himself, “When did Xiao Ran come? And how did he do it?”

That person urged him again, “Lord Shen, don’t tell me you want a taste of Tiger Senior’s courtesy?”

“I was lost in thought for a moment. Please excuse me.” Shen Yiming smiled faintly.

He then took out a pill and swallowed it.

The man was puzzled and asked, “What’s that?”

Shen Yiming explained, “To be honest, the skill that I am practicing now is special. Although it’s very powerful, there are many taboos to observe. For example, whenever I am drinking wine, I have to take one pill first to prevent the backlash of the technique.”

In reality,

what he had just taken was the antidote to the Spirit Calming Powder.

Although this person was suspicious, he did not think too much about it.

They clinked their wine bowls and drained them in one shot.

“Why aren’t you drinking, little brother?”

Shen Yiming said sternly, “With me around, he wouldn’t dare to drink!”

He then hardened his face and scolded Little Zhou, “Get up and serve me well!”

Little Zhou was dumbfounded. “My Lo…”

“Do you want me to repeat myself?” Shen Yiming cut him off.

Little Zhou stood up with an aggrieved look. However, when he noticed Shen Yiming discreetly gesturing to him without anyone noticing, he became excited and wondered if Shen Yiming had succeeded.

He took the initiative and poured wine for everyone.

Shen Yiming didn’t turn away anyone. Even if no one took the initiative to drink with him, he would go up to them and offer a toast.

All the higher-ups of the Yellow Sand Sect and this group of guests were not spared.

Towards the end,

some people even joked that Shen Yiming was much smarter than the earlier Amethyst Sword Guard.

They even told him that if he encountered trouble in Qing Province in the future, he could come to them for help.

A quarter of an hour later,

the effects of the Spirit Calming Powder had taken effect. The higher-ups of the Yellow Sand Sect, the two deputy sect masters, and a group of elders, as well as the guests had lost all their spirit energy, but had yet to notice it.

They would only notice something strange when they tried to activate and circulate their skills.

Shen Yiming checked the time, and deduced that the Spirit Calming Powder should have taken effect.

However, Tiger Senior, who was actually Xiao Ran under the transformation disguise, remained sitting there motionless.

From the beginning until now, Shen Yiming had been secretly observing him. Tiger Senior never once took a sip of wine. This was going to be difficult.

If he forcibly attacked now, Tiger Senior could easily defeat him with just one arm.

Even if Shen Yiming had broken through to Level 5 of the Grand Master Realm, he didn’t have the confidence to win.

“Damn it! Why isn’t he leaving?” Shen Yiming was getting anxious.

The Spirit Calming Powder was only effective for two hours.

Once this window passed, or if these people discovered their ruse, he would be put on the back paddle.

“Looking at the time now, the Spirit Calming Powder should have taken effect,” Xiao Ran thought to himself.

Seeing Shen Yiming staring at him, he thought for a while and guessed what his superior was thinking.

Xiao Ran then rose from his seat.

“Everyone, eat and drink your fill. I still have important matters to attend to. I’ll take my leave after saying goodbye to Sect Master Huang.”

Seeing him leave, Shen Yiming’s eyes lit up at once.

Lowering his voice, he said to Little Zhou, “All set?”

“My lord, don’t worry. Everything is ready,” Little Zhou replied.

“Release the flare in five minutes’ time, to signal to the men outside to rush in and take them out in one fell swoop.”

“Is it too much of a rush?”

“It’s enough for him to leave. Without him, Huang Feng alone won’t be able to cause much trouble,” Shen Yiming said.

In the palace behind,

Xiao Ran walked over, intending to personally send Huang Feng on his way to the underworld.

“Your sect master is inside?”

The leading disciple said, “Sect Master is in the bridal chamber. Tiger Senior, is there something you wish to discuss with Sect Master?”

“I have something to settle with him,” Xiao Ran said.

Looking at this group of disciples, they were all elites of the Yellow Sand Sect. Even the weakest among them was at the Connate Realm. There were also several Master Realm experts. The disciple in the lead was at Level 10 of the Master Realm.

He seemed to be Huang Feng’s trusted aide. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been stationed here.

“Why don’t we wait a little longer until the Sect Master is done?”

“There’s no need to go through so much trouble,” Xiao Ran said.

“Please wait a moment, I’ll report your arrival to the Sect Master!”

“Let me do it myself!”

Under his puzzled gaze, Xiao Ran launched his attack. With a wave of his hand, rays of golden light rushed out and swept across their bodies with supreme power.

Pow…

Their bodies exploded one after another, and blood rained down on the ground.

Xiao Ran then walked to the door and kicked it open.

Thick and dense spectral force enveloped the palatial hall. The spectral force condensed and evolved into a spectral domain. A sinister and terrifying aura spread out, and the temperature instantly dropped to freezing point. It was as if there was a great terror hidden inside.

“Eh? Where did this Spectral Sovereign come from?” Xiao Ran thought with a puzzled look.

With a palm strike, the Apotropaic Divine Lightning landed on the barrier encircling the Spectral Domain.

Lightning radiated with wild abandon and exploded violently, breaking the barrier of the Spectral Domain outright.

Roar!

A massive shockwave swept out in all directions.

The palace crumbled into ruins instantly.

Just as the golden light was about to rush inside, the supreme spectral force condensed and turned into a shield, blocking the golden light.

It also revealed the situation inside.
