The venom is still corroding my consciousness, my eyes bulging out, everything before me a blur, my vision on the verge of fading.

"Plop, plop, plop—"

With a few muffled sounds of hidden weapons cutting through the air, the hall erupted into chaos.

"Who goes there?"

"Who extinguished the candles?"

A chill ran through me, could it be...

In the darkness, a swooshing sound approached, a powerful internal force flipping over the figure of Wen Chengjun in front of me, knocking me down in the process.

But at the moment I hit the ground, the pain of the venom disappeared.

The newcomer interrupted Wen Chengjun's venom!

I immediately sat cross-legged, circulating my qi in the dantian, circulating to heal.

In the darkness, a slightly aged pair of hands gripped my chin, stuffing a few familiar pills into my mouth.

With the help of those pills, most of the internal injuries caused by the venom outbreak and the injuries from forcibly opening the acupoints had miraculously healed.

In the darkness, the newcomer seemed to wield a long sword, engaging in a heated battle with Wen Chengjun.

"The new bride indeed has good skills, but you've been lurking in the shadows for a while, watching your own brother perish before your eyes, only appearing when the groom is in trouble. Could it be that blood ties are no match for my Xunfeng's spies?"

Wen Chengjun struggled to fend off Jiang Chengbi's powerful attacks while also provoking the relationship between me and Abi.

Once the qi circulation was complete, I also joined the battle with my sword.

I employed the "Biluo Sword Technique" taught by Master Jiang, supplemented with unique internal skills, continuously assisting Jiang Chengbi's offense.

The reason the "Biluo Sword Technique" is so versatile is because it varies depending on the user.

Jiang Chengbi's internal force was dominant, her skills profound; she used the "Biluo Sword Technique" for offense only, her swordsmanship fierce and unstoppable.

As for me, due to my identity as a spy for Xunfeng, my martial arts were diverse and unorthodox, being a halfway swordsman, making me more suitable for providing support with this sword technique.

With Abi and I cooperating seamlessly, after a dozen moves, Wen Chengjun's defense began to show cracks.

"What are you waiting for, attack together!" After Abi's sword pierced his shoulder, Wen Chengjun shouted in frustration at his subordinates.

Yet the Xunfeng subordinates who had surrounded the hall before remained silent, offering no response.

It was then that I recalled, during the recent fight, I had indeed heard many muffled sounds of heavy objects falling.

Abi was not one for words, so I bluffed confidently, "What are you shouting for? Do you think you still have reinforcements?"

Although I didn't know what defenses Abi had set up, when Master Jiang forcefully stuffed the pills into my mouth earlier, his grip was strong, his pulse steady, showing no signs of poisoning.
