Luo Chao heard the ringing, the sound of the bell inside their secret base, initially set as an alarm trap, but he never imagined it would have such a use today.

The old man also picked up the direction, quickly heading straight for the target, with Jiang Yuanyuan following closely behind. Although she didn't speak, she could sense that the old man in front had definitely found the target.

Luo Chao's speed was very fast, reaching the place within minutes, and saw Long Li staring blankly at Chen Xiaoqi, even looking as if he wanted to kiss her.

"Beast, let go of that girl and let me handle it."

Before Long Li could kiss her, he was startled, staring foolishly at Luo Chao, unable to understand how despite all his disguises, this man could still find this place so quickly.

"Don't come any closer, this needle is poisoned." Long Li hurriedly took out a Silver Needle, pointing it at Chen Xiaoqi's neck, smiling as he looked at Luo Chao.

Luo Chao dared not act recklessly, knowing that Chen Xiaoqi was already poisoned. Adding another poison could lead to unknown consequences.

"Xiaoqi, are you alright?" Seeing Chen Xiaoqi's clothing intact, he was slightly relieved that at least the beast hadn't defiled her, even if he couldn't save her, she could leave this world clean.

"They all came, it must be because of that bell." Long Li finally realized the reason, it had to be that bell, though he didn't know how it notified these people.

But undoubtedly it was the bell's doing, as soon as it rang, these people were coming over, if not for the bell he wouldn't believe it.

"Since you're here, let her come and exchange for this woman." Long Li pointed at Jiang Yuanyuan, saying that it was this woman who ruined his life, and he would never let her go.

"Me? Fine! I agree." Chen Xiaoqi absolutely cannot have anything happen to her, Jiang Yuanyuan hastily nodded.

This man, not only harmed Chen Xiaoqi, but wouldn't spare Jiang Yuanyuan either?

"I'll let you go, you let Chen Xiaoqi off. Although I'm not a well-known figure, a promise from me is trustworthy." Luo Chao said calmly.

"I can let Chen Xiaoqi go, but not Jiang Yuanyuan." Long Li gritted his teeth, his anger palpable, even to a dull person like Iron Ox.

This was Killing Intent, the other party wasn't lusting after Jiang Yuanyuan's beauty but wanted to kill her.

What kind of grudge existed between these two for it to result in this? Jiang Yuanyuan didn't know, and evidently, neither did Luo Chao.

But since the other party had such a demand, Jiang Yuanyuan wouldn't refuse.

"The longer this poison lingers, the more dangerous it becomes. I think I should go over, you check on Xiaoqi's condition." Jiang Yuanyuan said with a bitter smile.

"What did I do to offend you? At least let me die knowing why." Jiang Yuanyuan's words made Luo Chao remember something, but he was hesitant to confirm it. But if it were true, then this person hating Jiang Yuanyuan would be understandable.

"You don't know what you did to me last night?" Long Li said fiercely, as if he was the one who attacked them yesterday.

"So, you were the one who attacked us last night? I didn't expect it. But I didn't step on you on purpose, it was pitch black, and you blew out our torches." Jiang Yuanyuan said helplessly, feeling that if anyone should feel wronged, it should be her.

She had gone out to have fun, only to have the outing ruined by someone like a passerby, involving indecency and even the risk of being killed.

"Where's your accomplice?" Jiang Yuanyuan curiously asked. Surely this person wasn't fighting alone, where were the others hiding?

Luo Chao also thought about this, looking around but failing to find anyone hiding nearby. Could it be a master?

Impossible, if it were a master, they'd definitely come out to attack. Even a full-frontal assault could likely succeed.

The old man also hadn't noticed anything, nervously watching the surroundings, knowing that a moment's misjudgment could mean disaster for them all.

"Those people all died, because they refused to join me in massacring that village near Shaoshan. They deserved it, useless trash." Massacring a village near Shaoshan?

No wonder there was blood on this person, seemingly chased out by those people. Although there weren't many Cultivators among them, thanks to the old man's connections, there were quite a few who practiced Cultivation.

Deservedly beaten and evicted, and even killed his companions over such a matter, this kid truly seemed unhinged.

He would do anything, so poisoning Chen Xiaoqi wasn't out of the realm of possibility.

"And what are you all rambling about, Jiang Yuanyuan? Hurry and come over for the exchange." Long Li impatiently said.

Luo Chao was stunned, the old man nodding behind him, signaling him to let Jiang Yuanyuan go, promising he'd resolve the matter perfectly.

Resolve perfectly? Luo Chao found it hard to believe, but at the moment he could only trust the old man, whose skills surpassed his own. If the old man couldn't handle it, Luo Chao was at a loss too.

Seeing Luo Chao relent, Jiang Yuanyuan nodded contentedly: "If I die, you must save her. What a sin, why did both Xiaoqi and I fall for you, what a sin."

With just those few words, Luo Chao felt a pang in his heart, somewhat at a loss.

"Don't worry, I'll protect both of you." Luo Chao said solemnly.

But this seriousness left Jiang Yuanyuan speechless, this man knew nothing. What era did he think this was, thinking he could have both women?

"I don't need your pity, remember, if you dare wrong Xiaoqi, even in death I won't forgive you."

If you dare wrong Chen Xiaoqi, even in death I won't forgive you. Luo Chao understood the weight and sentiment in those words; he would never give up.

"Stop with your sappy words, you're all destined to die soon, going to the underworld as a pair of ghost spouses is your best option." Long Li laughed heartily; this was the scene he wanted to see. The intertwining of despair, making these people understand the taste of true despair.
