Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 277
Chapter 277: Ambush
“Junior Brother, I happened to have some free time, so I refined some talismans. Fourth Senior Brother, you can carry them with you for protection.” Yu Feng pulled a stack of yellow talisman paper from his storage ring and handed it to Fourth Senior Brother.
“This is the Golden Armor Talisman. It will create a golden light shield when you are under a fatal threat. An ordinary Jindan cultivator won’t even be able to break through it. This is the Power-Boosting Talisman. It will instantly increase your combat power tenfold. But don’t use it too much, or your body won’t be able to handle it. And…” Yu Feng introduced them one by one.
Fourth Senior Brother was delighted. He knew the Junior Brother’s abilities. At the Jindan stage, there would be no talismans better than the ones Junior Brother has refined.
Judging from the talisman’s function, it was probably Junior Brother’s most valuable treasure.
“There are also pills. This is the Xiao Huan Dan, which can heal the body. The Jie Du Dan, as the name suggests, can cure all poisons…”
The fourth brother was deeply moved by Yu Feng’s generosity. He decided that after he obtained the skills of the younger brother, he would leave the younger brother with an intact body and let him die with dignity.
“The omen of great misfortune for the fourth brother has dissipated a little.” Yu Feng was happy for the fourth brother, and then calmly considered for the fourth brother, “To be safe, we still need to make a few plans to protect ourselves.”
“Okay.”
“Let’s do this and that…”
…
“What a coincidence. Master is in seclusion to gain enlightenment and close his six senses. As long as the spiritual energy fluctuations from the outside world do not reach the Nascent Soul stage, he will not notice.”
“It seems that the death of the fourth brother is God’s will.” The fifth brother sighed. They were brothers in the same sect, but he did not expect that the fifth brother would have to send the fourth brother away. What a tragic world.
“Third Brother, Fifth Brother, you’re here.”
“Sister Wulian, Junior Brother, what’s up?” The third and fifth brothers were discussing their plans for the evening when they were surprised to see them. They didn’t
find it strange that they were here. After all, after three and a half years together, Sister Wulian and Junior Brother had established a relationship and were practically inseparable.
They were puzzled by what they wanted, especially since they were busy assassinating the fourth brother. It would be a shame to miss this golden opportunity.
Yu Feng warmly invited them, “We’re all so busy with our own things on weekdays, so we haven’t had a chance to get together. I’m afraid we’ll lose touch. A gathering would require Master, as the presence of an elder always makes us feel uncomfortable. Tonight, Master is in seclusion, making it a perfect day for fellow disciples to gather.”
Senior Sister Wu Lian interrupted, “And Xiao Feng has also broken through to the Golden Core stage, so we can celebrate together.”
Sister Wu Lian had been planning to practice, but Yu Feng instead came to her and suggested that the entire sect get together today to celebrate his own breakthrough. Senior
Sister Wu Lian thought Yu Feng’s suggestion made sense, and they invited the third, fourth, and fifth brothers to join them.
The third and fifth brothers were surprised. They knew their youngest brother was stuck at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and had assumed it would take a while before he could break through. They hadn’t expected him to reach the Golden Core stage so quickly.
After all, the youngest brother was only eighteen years old—truly a prodigy.
“This…” The third and fifth brothers were a little embarrassed. Tonight was a perfect opportunity to assassinate the fourth brother. Were they going to let it slip away?
Or assassinate him right under the noses of the senior sister and junior brother?
Neither option is a good choice.
“Why, you don’t want to? The fourth brother said he’s going.” Senior sister Wu Lian pretended to be angry, pretending to be very fake, with a unique charm.
“Go, of course we will go.” The third and fifth senior brothers changed their words. Since the fourth brother was rushing to the banquet to seek death, then don’t blame them.
Yu Feng proposed a party, and it was to celebrate Yu Feng’s achievement of the Golden Core stage, so it was naturally held at Yu Feng’s residence.
When the four of them arrived at Yu Feng’s courtyard, the fourth brother had already prepared a table full of delicious dishes.
“I just happened to have it all ready. Come on, come on, everyone, have a seat.”
The five of them gathered around the round table, arranged according to the time they joined the sect. Wu Lian and Yu Feng sat next to each other, and the fourth brother was sandwiched between the third and fifth senior brothers.
“Try this stir-fried lily. I asked the fourth brother to make it. See if it suits your taste.” Yu Feng picked up a piece of food with chopsticks for Wu Lian.
Wu Lian took a small sip and found it perfectly suited to her taste. Her eyes crescented into a smile, “Hmm, really delicious.”
Yu Feng was captivated by Senior Sister Wu Lian’s beauty. He couldn’t help but feel thankful that he hadn’t listened to Senior Jiang’s advice and had finally caught up with her.
Whenever he thought about it, Yu Feng’s back broke into a cold sweat, a wave of fear lingering. Had he listened to Senior Jiang’s advice, he might never have met Senior Sister Wu Lian in his lifetime.
The third and fifth senior brothers exchanged glances. The senior sister and the younger junior brother were so lost in love that they didn’t notice their subtle movements. A good thing.
Perhaps intending to harm the fourth senior brother, the fifth senior brother felt a tinge of suspicion about the food and wine he had prepared. He secretly used a secret silver needle to test the cup, finding it poisonless and reassuring.
“Fourth senior brother, you take care of me so much. Thank you for your hard work. I offer you a toast. But let’s make it clear: no one is allowed to use spiritual power to neutralize the alcohol.” The fifth senior brother raised his glass, clinking it with the fourth’s.
The fourth senior brother smiled in response, and they both drank in one gulp.
Fifth Brother sneered inwardly. He had just put a slow-acting poison in his own glass, deliberately knocking some of the water out of it by bumping it into Fourth Brother’s.
Fifth Brother had taken the antidote pill beforehand, so he wasn’t afraid of his own poison. “
Wait till you die.
” Fourth Brother sneered inwardly. Don’t think he didn’t see Fifth Brother’s trick of testing the poison with a silver needle. Fifth Brother certainly didn’t realize I put the poison right along the rim of the glass. “
Wait till you die.”
Fourth and Fifth Brother hadn’t used an instant poison.
“Come, let me toast you another glass.”
“Cheers.”
To show their good relationship, Fourth and Fifth Brothers toasted and drank repeatedly.
Suddenly, Fifth Brother frowned, clutching his stomach, a cold sweat breaking out.
“What’s wrong, Fifth Brother?” Seeing Fifth Brother feeling unwell, Yu Feng stepped forward to show concern.
“No, nothing. Maybe something went wrong with your training and hurt your stomach. I’ll be back soon.”
“I’ll go see Fifth Brother.” Third Brother helped Fifth Brother leave.
As soon as the two were out of sight, they set up a soundproofing array.
“What’s wrong with you?” asked the third brother.
The fifth brother cursed, “Damn it, it must have been that bastard, Old Four, who poisoned the wine. Since there’s no poison in the wine, it must have been the rim of the glass. Luckily, the poison I gave myself was able to neutralize some of Old Four’s poison, reducing the toxicity to the point of causing a stomachache.”
“What a treacherous Old Four.” The third brother was thankful he hadn’t drunk yet.
Wait, could the chopsticks also be poisoned? Thinking of this, the third brother took all the detoxification pills.
“It seems that Old Four knew we were going to harm him, and he’s just taking the initiative!”
“Then do you think the younger brother and sister knew about this?”
The third brother pondered for a moment and said, “From the looks of it, they probably just decided to get together on a whim.”
“That’s good.” The fifth brother agreed with the third brother, “The stomach is fine now, let’s go back.”
What the fifth brother didn’t say was how Old Four knew they were going to harm him. It must have been Old Three who leaked the information.
Maybe the Third and Fourth Brothers are teaming up to kill me. Fifth Brother, be careful. This is a dangerous gathering. I can’t trust the Third and Fourth Brothers, so I can only trust my Junior Brother and Senior Sister.
