Chapter 563 - 322: Another Celestial Tier!

Second, he also harbored a stroke of luck, wanting to find a chance to ambush Chen Yi. Who knew he would be seen through from the very beginning.

Chen Yi naturally didn’t know his thoughts. He shook his head and said, "Even if I couldn’t tell, given the Mountain Race’s hatred for your Five Poison Sect, how could they not make foolproof preparations?"

Pei Ze, Pei Qian, and the others finally understood his intentions. Especially Pei Ze. He glared at Yan Jingchen, who had attempted to fake his death to escape, and squeezed a curse through his teeth: "Gui’Er!"

No wonder Yan Jingchen, who had clearly been confirmed dead back then, managed to survive. It turned out he was hiding such a Technique. However, despite his anger, Chen Yi’s words just now had hit the nail on the head. Even if he hadn’t known earlier that Yan Jingchen wanted to fake his death to escape, he had already made up his mind this time to grind him into ashes to console the souls of his two sons in heaven.

Pei Qian, Li Yunjun, and the others didn’t say anything. Only Lan Yanni loudly cursed the Gui’Er for being shameless. If Chen Yi and Pei Ze hadn’t been here, anyone else might have actually fallen for Yan Jingchen’s trick.

Chen Yi looked at Yan Jingchen and flashed to his side. Under the Qi Observation Skill, he could see that after Yan Jingchen woke up, the True Essence within his Forehead Acupoint Sea of Qi was rapidly circulating. In addition, some minute things were spreading along with the True Essence, like tiny, invisible bugs roaming through his meridians.

In just two breaths, the wounds on Yan Jingchen’s body healed slightly, and the flesh, blood, and bones of his severed limbs were writhing and growing back together. Chen Yi observed for a moment, raising his eyebrows as he asked, "Are these Poisonous Insects?"

Without waiting for Yan Jingchen to answer, Chen Yi thrust his spear into the wound on his chest, tearing out a chunk of flesh and blood when he pulled it out. But strangely, the moment the flesh separated from the body, the tiny bugs attached to it instantly lost their life force.

Watching his actions, the severe pain wracking his body made Yan Jingchen’s expression twist hideously. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don’t waste your energy.

"How could I let anyone else seize the treasures I’ve refined?"

"True." Chen Yi was just about to smash his head with a spear strike when he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Whose idea was it for you all to come here?"

Yan Jingchen snorted coldly and turned his head away. "If you want to kill me or torture me, do as you please!"

"Kill you?

"Originally, I planned to end you with one strike of my spear, but now I’ve changed my mind."

Chen Yi waved at Pei Ze and the others while saying, "Even if you don’t speak, I know the person who sent you here is Liu Hong.

"He must have planted some people in the grain store. He knew the grain store was going to trade grain with someone tonight, which is why he had you make a move."

The hateful look on Yan Jingchen’s face froze. "How did you know?"

"Not just here, but the one who ordered you to poison the citizens of the Prefecture City is also him, right?" After Chen Yi finished speaking to himself, he thrust his spear again and again into the wounds on Yan Jingchen’s limbs. Chunks of newly grown flesh were sent flying, causing all the tiny bugs on them to perish.

But he didn’t touch Yan Jingchen’s chest, nor did he use Silver Needles to seal his meridians and acupoints, allowing the flesh and organs in his chest to fully repair themselves.

Yan Jingchen mostly saw through his intentions and growled with a sinister expression, "If I live, you and the people behind you will all die!"

Chen Yi continued his actions noncommittally. Only when Pei Ze and the others arrived did he say, "I have great use for this person. I wonder if you could help me keep an eye on him for now?"

Pei Ze was just about to agree, but upon seeing the anomalies on Yan Jingchen’s body, he turned to Pei Qian next to him and said, "You decide."

Pei Qian knew full well the grudge between him and Yan Jingchen. After a moment of thought, he said, "Since you have spoken, we naturally cannot refuse.

"It’s just that given his current condition, if we keep him alive, I’m afraid..."

Chen Yi understood his meaning and nodded. "Wait a moment."

Pei Qian and the others naturally had no objections.

A short while later.

Once the injuries on Yan Jingchen’s chest had recovered, Chen Yi flicked out a few Silver Needles, sealing the three great Seas of Qi at his Chest, Forehead Acupoint, and Dantian. They then saw that all the tiny Poisonous Insects that had previously been moving incessantly died off.

Seeing this, Chen Yi verified his suspicions. Without stopping his hands, he threw out Silver Needles one after another, sealing the acupoints on the front and back of Yan Jingchen’s body.

Yan Jingchen glared at him with pure hatred. "Even if I become a ghost, I won’t let you off!"

Chen Yi glanced at him. "I believe you won’t have that Opportunity."

Right then, Jin Guang shone brilliantly—

[Rejected Yan Jingchen leading the Five Poison Sect to attack Liu Lang and the others; captured Yan Jingchen alive, slayed more than half of the Five Poison Sect members...]

[Reward: Hundred Flowers Palm grade upgraded to Celestial Tier, Opportunity +282.]

[Evaluation: Arrived on the scene, reputation established, handled the situation, performance commendable.]

Chen Yi took a glance, then used his spear to fling Yan Jingchen into Pei Ze’s hands, saying, "There should still be some Five Poison Sect members left in the Prefecture City. I’ll trouble you all to clean them up as well."

Pei Ze grabbed Yan Jingchen by the head with one hand and grinned savagely. "Rest assured, my young friend. With their Sect Leader dealt with, the rest are nothing to fear."

Pei Qian took a look at Yan Jingchen and silently put away the buzzing and fluttering Gu Insect. He had brought a supreme treasure of the Mountain Race down the mountain this time, originally intending to use it to slaughter the Five Poison Sect. He hadn’t expected that before it was even his turn to strike, the person in front of him would already wipe out more than half of the Five Poison Sect members.

A moment later.

Lan Yanni pointed at the corpses on the ground and said, "Brother, can I take them away as well?"

Chen Yi raised an eyebrow. "Brother?"

"You’re the lover my Sister Guanli fancies, so calling you my brother isn’t a stretch, right?"

Chen Yi couldn’t help but laugh. This girl probably didn’t know that Pei Guanli also called him her brother. However, he didn’t explain further. He simply agreed, letting Lan Yanni dispose of the corpses as she pleased.

"Thank you, Brother."

Pei Qian looked at the delighted Lan Yanni, then his gaze fell on Chen Yi. He coughed, "Sister’s... cough, cough..."
