Curse the Ye family!

After she had spoken, the black snakes raised their heads, prepared to strike at any time. Then one of the snakes moved closer to the second assassin who was almost out of commission. Not to strike but as a warning.

A threat!

If this was the case, the woman did not intend to kill them yet. She might want to know more about the attack.

They would buy time for the others to arrive or to be able to escape. It was best that way as they were caught by surprise. In all honesty, they could still work something out to fight back, however, just with the small snakes, it was like they were fighting with four beings. 

Yin Bai moved to protect his companion. Though they were still baffled by what was going on and how they had become so helpless, he still could not give up to at least let the injured one get to safety.

This mission was tasked by the Ye family and they had accepted it because of a medical treasure.

He was now the only who could move freely and silently, observing and thinking of ways to escape. They were trained to always have a backup plan to escape, but there was no part of that training regarding having drained spiritual energy.

"Bai, I will cover for you. You must escape at all costs." The first assassin, Yin Gu whispered, supposedly to only relay the message to him.

Gao Lan Mei who was exhausted decided to lean on the nearest available solid object, a lion's statue in front of her room, "You can try to escape if you really want to die." Pulling out a folded paper from her sleeves, the powdered substance was taken.

"Poison!"

Lifting a brow, "No antidote for myself." Gao Lan Mei said deadpanned. Why would she take poison at this time?

'Tsk, she is mocking us!' Grinding his teeth, "You poisoned us."

When had this happened? they did not know. Judging from the powdered substance, she might have released some gradually through the air.

Personally, Yin Bai was not experienced. They were also the lowest cultivators among the seven shadows that the Liqi Clan had tasked to infiltrate and exterminate the master and daughter of the Gao household.

From the books, there was no mention of any poison that could be spread quickly through the air, given that they wore face cloths for hiding and protection as well.

Thinking this, "You… You… Are you from the Immortal domain?!" Blurting this out, the other two assassins who were injured, had their face turning pale once more.

If that was true, they were finished!

Yen Mingjue felt like rolling his eyes. One, Gao Lan Mei did not have any spiritual energy. Were they thinking that she had a concealing treasure? Second, if she was really from the Immortal Domain, surely, they should have already been dead by now, right?

Given that not everyone from the Immortal Domain was strong, some were just there for medicine. Still, why would someone from there come to the mortal domain?

Even if there was a restriction for cultivation, a being from the Immortal Domain was still considered way stronger than the rest. 

They were just thinking too much and they couldn't help but do so since they were in a panic as they did not expect to be caught off guard. 

Gao Lan Mei smirked, "Nope. The beings there are… Hmmm…" her brows wrinkled, like finding the right word, "well, they like dominance too much." When someone from the mortal domain could reach a certain cultivation degree, they were welcomed to the Immortal Domain.

Gao Lan Mei did not like watching the Immortal Domain before. Not much to learn, more nonsense. The survival rule still stood. The strong would always rule, the weak must follow.

Hearing this, Yin Bai slumped to the ground. 'She was from the Immortal Domain! Curse the Ye family for not telling them!' For him, the Ye family sent them to their graves.

If any of them were alive after this incident, revenge was a must!
