Chen Yang pursued the fleeing bartender who had escaped from the bar. The bartender attempted to use hidden weapons, but Chen Yang easily dodged them. Three shadowy figures then emerged to support the bartender, firing more silver needles to obstruct Chen Yang. While Chen Yang evaded the ambush, the bartender escaped. Xiao Hu also exited the bar, and they agreed to split up to pursue the escapees. Chen Yang went after the three ambushers, quickly catching up to them in an alley. He easily defeated the three, who were only at the Peak of Qi Cultivation. However, the defeated man summoned countless poisonous spiders, and the others released a purple smoke, creating a poisonous environment. Chen Yang inhaled some of the smoke, weakening his spiritual energy.

Crack, crack, crack...

The sharp sound of bones breaking followed immediately, as the powerful impact snapped a man's arm.

He was sent flying backward in an instant, losing consciousness before he could even utter a sound.

"Third Brother!"

The remaining two cried out in horror!

"How are you still so strong? You clearly inhaled our Bewitching Smoke," they stammered, turning to face Chen Yang with eyes wide with terror.

They had initially assumed Chen Yang was poisoned, unable to unleash his full strength.

With their three brothers cooperating, they should have had an absolute advantage. How could this have happened?

As the venomous spiders on the ground continued to advance on Chen Yang, he reached into his pocket, retrieving a handful of white, powdery substance.

He then tossed it, creating a circle about a meter around himself, effectively holding all the poisonous spiders at bay.

The spiders appeared to fear the powder, with not a single one daring to cross the boundary.

In truth, when Chen Yang was initially poisoned, he had subtly consumed a Detoxification Pill, neutralizing the toxins.

While the tricks of the Five Poisons Cult were peculiar, Chen Yang's medical skills were equally extraordinary.

These poisons held no sway over him.

He was able to swiftly analyze the antidote for the poisons they employed in a short amount of time.

"You can poison, but I can detoxify?"

Chen Yang's gaze turned frigid as he fixed his stare on the two terrified men before him.

Panic began to set in for the duo.

Their primary advantage was poison, yet it was effortlessly countered by the man standing before them. What was the point of continuing the fight?

"Run!"

The one controlling the poisonous spiders made a swift decision, turning to flee.

However, Chen Yang would not permit such an easy escape.

The moment they turned, Chen Yang also moved.

He vanished from his spot like a fleeting shadow.

Chen Yang certainly had no intention of simply watching them get away.

As soon as they turned, Chen Yang unleashed a Gathering Spirit Seal towards them.

Boom!!

"Ah!"

The Gathering Spirit Seal struck their backs directly, causing both to scream miserably as they were sent flying sideways.

They crashed hard against the wall, blood spilling.

Blood also trickled from their mouths.

"Second Brother, it seems we won't make it out of this today!" The man who had been controlling the poisonous spiders was gravely injured, his internal organs suffering severe impact.

The one who had released the poisonous smoke was in slightly better condition.

Having only just sustained his first injury, only blood seeped from the corner of his mouth; the rest of him was seemingly unharmed.

"Big Brother, what do you mean..."

The Second Brother looked towards the First Brother.

The First Brother offered no verbal response, merely giving his Second Brother a determined look.

The Second Brother appeared to understand, nodding in acknowledgment.

"Hmph, if you wish to capture us alive, you are dreaming." The Second Brother scoffed coldly, raising his palm as if to end his own life.

Witnessing this, Chen Yang was taken aback.

This turn of events was completely unexpected.

Truly, the Five Poisons Cult was an exceptionally strange organization!

Just as the Second Brother raised his palm, preparing to strike the fatal blow, a silver needle suddenly shot forth from behind Chen Yang.

Sensing the imminent danger, Chen Yang shifted his body slightly.

The silver needle whizzed past him, continuing its trajectory directly towards the First and Second Brothers.

"Ugh!"

The silver needle's ultimate destination was the Second Brother's arm, thwarting his attempt at self-destruction.

In an unexpected twist, all three were surprised, simultaneously turning their gazes towards the origin of the silver needle's flight.

Emerging from the mouth of the alley, a woman clad in black attire, exuding an elegant aura, gracefully stepped forward, walking calmly from the alley's entrance.

"Leave, I will handle this myself."

A woman's voice echoed, both cold and commanding.

"Leader... Sect Master?" The expressions of the First and Second Brothers shifted dramatically, instantly lighting up with joy.

"Quick, go!" the woman urged again, her voice rising slightly in urgency.

"Yes! Sect Master!"

The two did not dare to delay, quickly helping each other up. Casting a final glance at Chen Yang, they turned and fled.

Chen Yang made no move to stop them.

He had already detected that the incoming woman possessed formidable strength.

If she were to fully engage them, the two would still have an opportunity to escape.

Therefore, Chen Yang decided against wasting his efforts on a futile pursuit.

Moreover, judging by the tone of the First and Second Brothers, it was clear that the person before him was the leader of the Five Poisons Cult.

Here was an opportunity to apprehend their leader directly; why bother with minor figures?

Chen Yang narrowed his eyes, intently observing the woman as she slowly approached.

The woman was dressed quite modestly, her form concealed, revealing nothing else.

Yet, for some inexplicable reason, Chen Yang felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had encountered her before.

Chen Yang surveyed the individual before him, while the formidable Leader of the Five Poisons Cult returned the scrutinizing gaze.

A subtle shift flickered within their eyes.

"Our Five Poisons Cult harbors no ill will towards you; why then do you strike at our brethren?"

The woman halted her approach, maintaining a distance of several dozen meters from Chen Yang, her voice laced with indifference.

"Your Five Poisons Cult preys upon the innocent; must I be personally offended before I intervene?" Chen Yang retorted, his own voice steady.

The woman offered no immediate reply.

After a brief, intense observation of Chen Yang, she issued a stern admonishment, her tone leaving no room for doubt: "The Five Poisons Cult is not a force you can casually antagonize. If you possess even a modicum of wisdom, you will cease your current endeavors while the opportunity remains."

With those words spoken, the woman launched a sudden assault. With a swift flick of her arm, a volley of silver needles erupted, streaking with lethal intent towards Chen Yang's throat.

The woman's martial might was undeniable, the silver needles propelled with a velocity surpassing that of any projectile, reaching Chen Yang in the blink of an eye.

These needles were imbued with a potent, deadly poison; a single graze promised dire, irreversible consequences.

Fortunately for Chen Yang, his reflexes were exceptionally sharp. He executed a flawless sidestep, evading the deadly barrage once more.

However, upon turning his attention back, the woman who had stood at the alley's entrance had utterly vanished, as if dissolved into thin air.
