"This way!"
Zhang Fan grabbed Xue Ruirui's hand and pulled her into the alleyway to hide. His expression was grim and cold.
People from the Poison Sect!
How did they discover his whereabouts?
Xue Ruirui's face was pale as she clutched Zhang Fan's arm tightly.
Just as they were about to leave, they realized their car had been tampered with.
People were already lying in wait for them.
They were all members of the Poison Sect! This was retaliation!
"Ah Fan..."
Xue Ruirui gripped Zhang Fan's arm, her delicate body trembling.
The narrow confines of the alley were secluded and hidden, even more desolate at night.
Yet, both of them looked extremely nervous.
The Poison Sect had mobilized too many people this time. It was so many that it felt eerie.
"I'm here. Don't be afraid," Zhang Fan whispered, gazing outward. His usually gentle eyes gradually took on a frosty chill.
He knew better than anyone what kind of trash made up the Poison Sect.
He was their Sect Master, after all.
They were all felons worthy of execution by the law enforcement bureau, guilty of heinous crimes. They were demons in human skin who couldn't redeem their sins even if they died a hundred times.
He had put in a lot of effort back then to rein them in and control them.
If he were alone, he had plenty of ways to slaughter this bunch.
But now...
Looking at Xue Ruirui, Zhang Fan took a deep breath and said softly, "Wait. We'll leave after they go."
Xue Ruirui nodded, her expression resolute.
She possessed the strength of the Transformation Realm. Although she wasn't incredibly powerful, if Zhang Fan really had to fight, she would put her life on the line right beside him!
"Where are they?! Damn it, I just saw them."
"Be careful. You know how cunning that kid Zhang Fan is."
Two voices drifted over from a distance.
"Skill: Eagle Eye!"
Zhang Fan's gaze penetrated the wall, observing the two approaching figures from afar as he focused.
Unexpectedly, upon reaching the narrow alley, the pair didn't turn back but instead walked closer.
"Hey, did you see that pregnant woman? She's got a pretty face. Tsk tsk, really does it for me."
"That's Zhang Fan's wife. Do you dare touch her?"
"Why wouldn't I dare? Let me tell you, pregnant women like that are the best! I've actually tried it! Afterward, I cut off the woman's head and sliced the baby out with a knife. Guess what happened?"
"What happened?"
"It hadn't even taken human shape yet. Just a sticky mess. It was disgusting as hell! I couldn't eat for days."
"Hahaha, you totally deserved that!"
The two laughed and chatted as they walked, gradually getting closer to the alley.
Xue Ruirui's body trembled even more violently, whether from anger or fear.
Slash!
Two jets of blood sprayed into the air!
The throats of the two men who had just been spewing filth were neatly slit by a dagger. They collapsed to the ground with a thud.
"Heartless animals!"
Xue Ruirui looked at the corpses on the ground, still filled with resentment.
Zhang Fan slowly sheathed his knife. "Let's go, quickly!"
He pushed his Eagle Eye skill to its limit, constantly searching for the best route.
The Poison Sect members were already sweeping the area in large numbers.
However, using his Eagle Eye, he was able to avoid them perfectly every time.
After all, under his guidance in the past, the Poison Sect had turned danger into safety many times!
Zhang Fan scooped Xue Ruirui up into his arms. His figure moved like a ghost, running silently through the night.
As long as they made it out of this zone, they would be safe!
"Let's not go home. We should just leave!" Xue Ruirui whispered.
That small home, though modest, held too many unforgettable memories. Abandoning it now was truly difficult.
Zhang Fan nodded.
Under the circumstances, this was the only option.
Since they had tracked down their location, the house was no longer safe.
As they were running, Zhang Fan suddenly felt a bone-chilling coldness.
"Look out!"
Xue Ruirui screamed.
A black vine lashed out at them!
Zhang Fan gritted his teeth, turned sideways quickly, and took the blow with his back.
The vine whipped him viciously!
He staggered back a few steps, forcibly steadying himself.
"So, you are Zhang Fan!"
A woman wrapped entirely in bandages slowly emerged from the darkness.
Zhang Fan stared at her with a cold gaze.
This woman was strange; she had been hiding underground just moments ago.
"Who are you?" Zhang Fan asked icily.
There was no expert like this in the Poison Sect!
The woman pulled apart the bandages over her mouth, revealing a hideous, distorted face and a terrifying smile. "I am Ghost Vine!"
Zhang Fan's eyes grew colder.
This woman was not simple. An ambush had been set here long ago; for a mile around, the ground was filled with vein-like vines.
"Ruirui!"
Zhang Fan said softly.
Xue Ruirui nodded, gritting her teeth. "Whatever happens, I'm with you!"
Zhang Fan shook his head gently and whispered, "I'm sorry."
"Idiot, what are you apologizing for!"
Xue Ruirui's voice choked with emotion. She could no longer put on a brave front, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Run north!"
Zhang Fan leaned close to her ear and whispered.
This was the final checkpoint. With his Eagle Eye, he could see that the north was unguarded.
With Xue Ruirui's strength, she could definitely escape.
"You..." Xue Ruirui opened her mouth slightly.
Zhang Fan exhaled and smiled. "Ruirui, do it for our child!"
Xue Ruirui sobbed, tears streaming down her face, and nodded vigorously. "You be careful!"
She understood that she was just a burden to Zhang Fan. Staying here would only drag him down!
"Running is useless!"
Ghost Vine laughed hideously. A mass of vines shot up from the ground!
They loomed over Xue Ruirui!
Slash!
Two daggers sliced through the air, creating blade beams that shredded the vines to pieces!
Zhang Fan stared at Ghost Vine with cold eyes, his killing intent erupting instantly!
Ghost Vine grinned. "Not bad. No wonder you won the Boss's favor!"
Xue Ruirui took one last look at Zhang Fan, grit her teeth, and ran with all her might.
Seeing Xue Ruirui escape, the fierce tension in Zhang Fan's eyes finally softened.
"Heh, trash! Emotions only blunt your blade!"
Ghost Vine sneered. She walked forward slowly, swaying her curvaceous body, which contrasted sharply with her hideous face.
Truly an angel's body with a devil's face!
"I don't recall having any dealings with the Hundred Ghosts Sect!"
Zhang Fan said coldly.
Both operated in the darkness, but the Poison Sect and the Hundred Ghosts Sect had always stayed out of each other's way.
He didn't understand why the Hundred Ghosts Sect wanted him dead.
Ghost Vine said indifferently, "Our Boss thinks highly of you and wishes to recruit you."
"This is the Hundred Ghosts Sect's method of recruitment?" Zhang Fan asked icily.
"The current you no longer has any value for recruitment. Back then, the Boss admired your ruthless and vicious nature, but unfortunately, that's gone now."
Ghost Vine said with a smile, swaying her hips as she slowly approached. "However, the Boss seems to have discovered something even more interesting now."
Zhang Fan narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of coldness as he gripped his daggers tighter.
"There is something very mysterious inside your body that interests the Boss greatly!"
Ghost Vine walked forward slowly, but in a flash, she appeared behind Zhang Fan and struck suddenly.
Zhang Fan's pupils constricted.
He knew that the mysterious thing she spoke of was the Poison Master System!
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
