Qiushan Temple, Jiangbei District.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the wind was strong.
"Bai Weicheng, didn't you say Hei Biao isn't dead? Why isn't he here yet?" Li Shengtian asked Bai Weicheng nervously as he looked around.
A few days ago, news spread that Hei Biao had died suddenly, and the Black Tiger Gang had been dissolved by the Qi Xiang Association.
Afterward, Bai Weicheng contacted Li Shengtian, telling him that Hei Biao was not dead and wanted to meet him, saying he had important news.
Li Shengtian was half-believing, half-doubting. After experiencing such a dramatic turn of events, he had become more cautious and brought two witch doctors with him.
Bai Weicheng was somewhat guilty. He had already defected to Qin Xuan, and it was Qin Xuan's idea to lure Li Shengtian and the two witch doctors out.
Having witnessed Qin Xuan's terrifying strength, he vaguely guessed that Qin Xuan intended to deal with them.
If his cover were blown now, his own life would be forfeit.
Although Bai Weicheng was a congenital martial artist, he knew he had no chance of winning against the two witch doctors.
After all, with those strange蛊术 (gu techniques), one careless mistake could lead to蛊虫 (gu worms) entering the body, resulting in a death that no one would understand.
"Soon, soon, he should be here any moment," Bai Weicheng said, wiping sweat from his brow.
Seeing Bai Weicheng's nervous demeanor, Li Shengtian snorted.
"Don't try any tricks. Don't think I won't touch you just because you were Hei Biao's subordinate."
"No, no, of course not."
Because it was night, with the wind howling, Li Shengtian felt uneasy.
At this moment, both witch doctors' gazes simultaneously turned towards the grand staircase of Qiushan Temple.
A figure slowly emerged.
"Hei Biao?" Li Shengtian also noticed him and frowned, asking cautiously.
The moonlight was obscured by clouds, so Li Shengtian couldn't see clearly.
The figure did not reply, and Li Shengtian gradually felt something was amiss.
Suddenly, the moonlight reappeared, shining on the figure's face. Li Shengtian finally saw clearly and trembled all over.
"Qin Xuan!"
The two witch doctors also immediately became extremely alert.
Bathed in moonlight, Qin Xuan, clad in black, was half in light and half in shadow, resembling a grim reaper.
"Did only the two of you come?" Qin Xuan, ignoring Li Shengtian, looked at the two witch doctors.
The two witch doctors had not expected Qin Xuan to be the one arriving.
Last time, they had been forced to use their 본명蛊虫 (natal gu worms) and had fled in disarray.
This time, with Miao Tie not yet present, they were even less of a match for Qin Xuan.
It was highly possible they would perish here today.
The two exchanged glances and immediately decided to abandon Li Shengtian, their speed instantly increasing as they fled towards the back mountain of Qiushan Temple.
"Hmph, trying to escape?" Qin Xuan sneered and moved, leaving an afterimage in his original spot.
In the time it took two breaths, he appeared at the mountain pass on the back mountain.
"So fast!" The two quickly stopped, looking incredulous.
Qin Xuan looked at them, not attacking immediately, but asking coldly,
"Hand over the antidote for the Soul Devouring Gu, and I'll spare your lives. Otherwise, death!"
The immense killing intent radiating from Qin Xuan made the two feel a flicker of fear.
But they also understood that Qin Xuan was after the girl infected with the Soul Devouring Gu. With a cold snort, they said,
"Kid, the cure for the Soul Devouring Gu is incredibly difficult. If you kill us, that little girl will likely die soon as well!"
"Furthermore, if you kill someone from the Gu clan, you can forget about any other witch doctors curing her. You'll also face endless pursuit from the witchcraft tribe!"
Qin Xuan's expression changed slightly, and he looked at them coldly,
"So, you are refusing to hand over the antidote for the Soul Devouring Gu?"
The two remained silent, implicitly agreeing.
"Kid, you really think we great witch doctors fear you! Even if I had the antidote, I wouldn't give it to you! Today, I'll drag you down with me even if I die!"
"I'll fight you to the death!"
With that said, the two each produced a knife and charged at Qin Xuan side by side.
