Chapter 2258 - 2231: Failure Before Success

The remaining five people didn’t hesitate at all. Following Tang Fengyun, their silhouettes flickered and quietly appeared behind Tang Fengyun, likewise entering the Bai Family Ancestral House.

After landing steadily on his feet, Tang Fengyun looked around, and seeing no one, a cold smile emerged at the corner of his mouth. Based on Tang Fengxing’s information, Tang Fengyun slowly walked towards the room where Bai Qiao Mountain resided.

The five men followed closely behind.

In an instant, Tang Fengyun arrived at the entrance of the small courtyard where Bai Qiao Mountain resided.

Looking at the courtyard within reach, Tang Fengyun’s mouth curled into a cold smile, and he stepped forward. However, just after he took a step, his face suddenly changed, and a bad premonition arose in his heart. A sense of danger instantly engulfed his mind, causing his nerves to tense immediately.

As a Late Stage Mythical Level Martial Artist, Tang Fengyun’s sense of danger was naturally far beyond that of ordinary people.

Tang Fengyun glanced around. It was quiet, with no movement, leaving him puzzled. Was he being too paranoid?

But Tang Fengyun didn’t lower his guard; he whispered, "Stay alert, take the Detoxification Pills, I feel something strange here!"

The five men naturally nodded in agreement with Tang Fengyun, each taking out a small porcelain bottle, pouring out white pills, and swallowing them.

Then, the six people hesitated no longer, silently approaching the entrance of the small courtyard.

"You, open the door for me," Tang Fengyun said directly to a man behind him, looking at the tightly closed entrance.

"Yes!"

The man nodded, spoke no unnecessary words, and walked over directly.

Tang Fengyun watched the man’s back, a strange light flickering in his eyes. For some reason, the closer he got to the courtyard, the stronger the alarm in his heart became, as if taking another step would lead him into an abyss. This was the reason Tang Fengyun had someone else open the door.

In Tang Fengyun’s mind, a voice seemed to be warning him not to open the door, or he would die without a grave.

The man quickly walked to the entrance, reached out to grip the doorknob, let his True Qi shake slightly, and quietly destroyed the door’s lock, then pushed the door open.

Seeing no change after the man opened the door, Tang Fengyun felt a trace of doubt, wondering if he was overthinking.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a miserable cry rang out, piercing the quiet night sky.

Only to see the man who had just opened the door had a layer of black gas rapidly spread over his face. His hands clawed desperately at his throat, his eyes bulging, trying in vain to breathe fresh air, but there was no way. His entire body collapsed limply to the ground, without any further movement.

This abrupt change turned Tang Fengyun’s expression extremely grim. He urgently shouted, "Everyone, retreat immediately, don’t come near the door."

Almost at the moment Tang Fengyun spoke, the four men standing behind him quickly retreated, their faces displaying fear and terror. They knew they had taken the Detoxification Pills, and normal poisons couldn’t harm them, but now the man died so easily from poison without any chance to struggle.

This was enough to show just how terrifying the suddenly pervasive poison was, even the Tang Family’s Detoxification Pills couldn’t neutralize it.

Tang Fengyun backed up a few steps, circulated True Qi in his body several times, ensuring he didn’t have any abnormalities before he could breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking at the man lying dead on the ground, Tang Fengyun’s expression turned extremely grim. He never expected such a lethal poison in Bai Qiao Mountain’s residence, capable of killing a Mythical Level Martial Artist without even being neutralized by the Tang Family’s special Detoxification Pills.

Failure before setting out, this is failure!

These words suddenly surfaced in Tang Fengyun’s mind, and inexplicably, he had a feeling that coming to Modu to kidnap Bai Qiao Mountain seemed to be a bad move.

"Master Yun, what should we do next?" At this moment, one of the men looked at Tang Fengyun and asked.

Hearing this, Tang Fengyun took a deep breath, suppressed his unsettling thoughts, and coldly said, "Continue, let your True Qi become Gale and sweep through, break in directly. Remember not to touch anything, let’s go."

There’s no turning back this time, they can only break in forcefully.

As his words fell, Tang Fengyun’s True Qi exploded forth, becoming Gale, sweeping out and stirring everything around wildly.

Then Tang Fengyun and the other five, without hesitation, cautiously entered the courtyard.

The piercing scream at the door also woke Bai Qiao Mountain from sleep inside the room.

Awakening immediately, Bai Qiao Mountain did not feel drowsy at all. He got up from bed, went to the balcony, pulled back the curtain, and looked downstairs.

Suddenly seeing Tang Fengyun and his group erupting with brilliant True Qi, surging like tides, sweeping and pulverizing everything in the courtyard.

Upon seeing this scene, Bai Qiao Mountain’s expression subtly changed. Coming in the middle of the night, it was obvious they could only have ill intentions.

Meanwhile, He Cailan also got up from bed, rubbing her sleepy eyes lazily, "Qiao Shan, what’s happening outside? I seemed to hear someone screaming."

"Get up and take a look..."

Bai Qiao Mountain gestured outside the window.

He Cailan, puzzled, got out of bed and went to the window. After seeing what was happening in the courtyard, her face showed disbelief, thinking she was hallucinating. She rubbed her eyes and confirmed it was no illusion, then exclaimed, "Qiao Shan, who are they?"

"If I’m correct, they are probably here to capture us, to use us against Tianxing."

Bai Qiao Mountain’s somewhat clouded eyes flashed with a light, aside from this reason, he truly couldn’t think why else these people would appear here.
