I nodded, "I've already considered that."

"Besides poisoning, I can't think of any other way to make a highly skilled warlock become terminally ill in such a short time."

"However, I want to know, didn't Patriarch Luan realize he was poisoned at the beginning?"

No one in the martial world doesn't fear poison. Those who frequently travel the martial world know how to guard against opponents using poison.

They also have ways to deal with poisoning.

Moreover, in this era of highly developed medicine, Luan Jingfan, as the head of a family, should have access to medical expertise and not lack the money for treatment.

How did Bei Yan Jing Yun manage to deceive Luan Jingfan?

Luan Jingfan said, "When you encounter Bei Yan Jing Yun, you must be careful. He uses plague poison!"

Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but gasp.

Among the various poison-using sects of the sorcerer's path, there are many masters of poison. However, there are only a handful of warlocks who use plague poison.

Legend has it that all the experts who use plague poison come from the lineage of the Plague Gods, whose patriarch is the "Five Paths Plague God."

The horror of plague poison doesn't lie in immediately killing the opponent. Rather, it lies in making the opponent contract a serious illness unknowingly, and then die without a cure.

The disciples of the Plague God lineage, because of their involvement in dynastic changes, repeatedly caused plagues in the military and among the people, killing countless people and arousing public resentment, which led to their being jointly exterminated by both the righteous and evil paths.

Legend has it that the last disciple of the Plague God lineage, because he had killed too many people, incurred divine punishment and died under heavenly lightning.

After that, there were no more legends of Plague God disciples.

Unexpectedly, Plague God disciples have reappeared.

While shocked, I asked calmly, "Since Bei Yan Jing Yun is a Plague God successor, how did Patriarch Luan manage to escape from his clutches?"

Luan Jingfan said, "Because of Ning Kang!"

"Ning Kang was always by my side, yet she watched me being schemed against by Bei Yan Jing Yun without saying a word of warning."

"It wasn't until Bei Yan Jing Yun fled the wedding, and I was on the verge of death, that she appeared, after I, in utter despair, activated the restriction and sealed off Ning Kang Temple. She then helped me to detoxify the plague poison."

Luan Jingfan suddenly laughed, "Back then, on the wedding night, when I was waiting for Bei Yan Jing Yun in a wedding dress, he ran away, leaving all the guests behind."

"No one in the Luan family, except for Shiqi and Cangjian, came to comfort me."

"They were all blaming me, questioning me, whether it was because I was too willful that I drove Bei Yan Jing Yun away."

"Some even had a carriage ready to take me to chase Bei Yan Jing Yun back."

"In their eyes, a family head who was about to die was not as important as the wealth and glory promised by Bei Yan Jing Yun."

"Shouldn't they be killed?"

I responded, "I'm afraid I can't answer that question. After all, it's a private matter of your family."

"Haha..." Luan Jingfan laughed, "Men! Truly hypocritical."

"Having been in the martial world for so long, even your words have become ambiguous. You don't easily express your views, so as not to offend others, is that right?"

Luan Jingfan put away his smile, "I haven't seen people from the martial world for many years, but I find it more interesting to talk to them."

"Alright! I won't tease you anymore."

"Here is the antidote to the plague poison prepared by Ning Kang. You can use it to fight against Bei Yan Jing Yun."

"I can give you the Luan family's map. Now it depends on whether you accept my employment."

I looked at Luan Jingfan and said, "In my opinion, revenge is more satisfying when you do it yourself than when someone else does it for you."

"Since Patriarch Luan has already mastered the secret of becoming an immortal, why not become an immortal yourself and take revenge? Why do you have to hire me?"

Luan Jingfan shook his head and said, "Is becoming an immortal really that easy?"

"The method of ghost immortality has been around for a long time, but how many people have actually become ghost immortals?"

"Are the five elements tribulations really that easy to avoid?"

Seeing that I didn't believe him, Luan Jingfan said again, "You can see through the path of ghost immortality, don't you understand that cultivating ghost immortality also requires accumulating merit?"

"If those five corpses outside are all heinous villains. By killing them, I am acting on behalf of Heaven, and Heaven will naturally give me merit."

"But who are they? Just ordinary cleaners."

"Killing them to meet the tribulation? Don't be ridiculous."

"I have never believed that Ning Kang's secret method can succeed."

"Because the results of my repeated deductions are that Ning Kang's secret method is incomplete."

"You can see through Ning Kang's secret method, can't you see the flaws in it?"

Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but frown. Ye Yang had never mentioned that there was a need to accumulate merit in the secret method of ghost immortality.

However, from a common sense perspective, that should indeed be the case!

I said in a deep voice, "If you don't become an immortal, aren't you afraid of Ning Kang's backlash?"

Luan Jingfan laughed, "That's your problem, not mine."

"Since you planned to get rid of Ning Kang from the beginning, why are you asking me if I'm afraid of her backlash?"

"I think it's better to wait until your people and Ning Kang have a winner before deciding whether to accept my commission, what do you think?"

Luan Jingfan is worthy of being the head of a family, he always manages to make me unable to refute him.

While I was silent, Luan Jingfan suddenly said, "Are you sure you'll be alright continuing to bleed like this?"
