A Strange Fragrance Bewitched the Heart

Seeing the man in black unconscious, Yin Xi quickly stepped forward, stomped on his chest, and coldly asked, "How about it? Still trying to run? Where do you think you're going?"

"Cough cough..." The man in black lying on the ground struggled to raise his head, glanced at Yin Xi, and then quickly lowered his head again, looking extremely pained.

"Hmph! I knew long ago that you Devil Realm scoundrels were unreliable, and I was already on guard against you! I didn't expect you to actually come here! Hmph, I advise you to get lost right now, or I won't be so polite!" Yin Xi said with a sneer.

Upon hearing these words, the man in black felt incredibly aggrieved. They, cultivators of the Devil Realm, had actually been reduced to such a lowly position—it was utterly disgraceful!

"We are His Highness the Devil Lord's men! How dare you speak to us like that? Do you know what heinous crime you have committed!" the man in black said angrily.

"Devil Lord? Hahaha! Bah! I think you are the Devil Lord's lackeys. You are not worthy of being people of the Devil Realm! You are simply the scum of the Devil Realm!" Yin Xi said sarcastically.

Upon hearing this, the man in black was taken aback, then roared, "You scoundrel! I think you're the real scum of the Devil Realm! How dare you slander the people of my Devil Realm like this! I will definitely kill you!"

As he spoke, a fierce glint flashed in the black-clad man's eyes, and he suddenly charged towards Yin Xi.

Yin Xi saw the man in black rushing towards him and smiled disdainfully.

Yin Xi also went to meet the man in black, and the two began to fight, locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle. Seeing this, the other cultivators dared not make any rash moves. Although there was a great difference in cultivation level between Yin Xi and the man in black, Yin Xi still held the upper hand and forced the man in black to retreat steadily.

"Pfft!"

Yin Xi struck out with another palm, knocking the man in black to the ground. The man in black, struck by Yin Xi, coughed up blood and became extremely weak, completely incapable of resisting.

When the man in black saw that Yin Xi's cultivation level was much higher than his own, a look of shock appeared on his face. Then, a strange smile appeared on the corner of the man in black's mouth.

"Yin Xi, it seems you really won't shed a tear until you see the coffin. In that case, I'll send you on your way first, so we don't have to look for you later," the man in black said coldly.

After the man in black finished speaking, he took out a small bottle from his spatial ring.

Once the small bottle was opened, a peculiar fragrance wafted out, so captivating that it was almost irresistible. This fragrance was quite strange; it not only created a hallucination but also a drowsy feeling.

Neither the man in black nor Yin Xi noticed the peculiar little bottle.

Upon smelling the strange odor, Yin Xi frowned slightly and asked with some confusion, "What is this? It's so strange!"

Seeing this, the man in black sneered and said, "Heh, this is poison. Don't worry, this poison will only make you drowsy. After you fall asleep, I'll give you the poison, and you can just wait to die!"

When Yin Xi saw the poison in the man in black's hand, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Yin Xi glanced at the poison in his hand and said coldly, "I'd like to see if your poison skills are as formidable as you are!"

Yin Xi snorted coldly, then threw the bottle of poison into his mouth and swallowed it.

Seeing this, the man in black nodded in satisfaction and said, "You certainly know what's good for you!"

"Hmph! You beasts, don't even think about getting any information out of me! I will absolutely not tell you the location of the Devil Realm!" Yin Xi sneered and said coldly.

"Fine, since you won't listen to reason, I'll send you to King Yama!" the man in black sneered.

The man in black threw the poison on the ground, then made a hand Hand Seals and chanted an incantation. The bottle of poison instantly turned into a wisp of black smoke, flew into the air, and disappeared.

Yin Xi felt a very familiar sensation within her body, as if her body had completely merged with this strange toxin and was unable to escape.

"What on earth is going on?" Yin Xi's expression changed, and he shouted loudly.

Just as Yin Xi cried out, a sharp pain struck. Yin Xi felt as if thousands of ants were biting her body all over, which was extremely uncomfortable. Moreover, the pain was getting stronger and stronger, and Yin Xi felt as if she was being tortured to death.

"Oh no, this poison is so potent, I can't resist it at all!" Yin Xi felt his body changing. He didn't dare to be careless and quickly circulated his True Essence to resist the intense pain, trying to force the poison out of his body. But he failed. The intense pain grew stronger and stronger, as if millions of ants were gnawing at his flesh, which was extremely uncomfortable.

"Ah... ah... ah!"

Yin Xi screamed in agony, but the pain did not disappear; instead, it intensified, as if it were tearing him to pieces.

Just then, Yin Xi suddenly felt a blur before his eyes, and then he found that everything around him had disappeared. He was back in the cave where he had been, but now he was lying on the ground, covered in blood, looking horribly terrifying.

"Phew... it's finally over! I'm finally free from all this torture, that's great." Yin Xi let out a long sigh and murmured to herself.

Just then, Yin Xi felt a pair of cold eyes staring intently at her. Yin Xi was slightly startled, then quickly looked up in the direction she had been looking, only to see the man staring at her with a gloomy expression.

Yin Xi was stunned when she saw the man.

He never expected that the man was none other than the mastermind behind their operation.

"It's you!" Yin Xi looked at the man in surprise and said coldly.

"Yin Xi, or perhaps Taishang Laojun? We meet again!" The man looked coldly at Yin Xi and said in a chilling voice.

"What exactly do you want!" Yin Xi clenched her fists and asked through gritted teeth.

The man didn't speak, but stared coldly at Yin Xi before striding towards Yin Xi.

When Yin Xi saw the man walking towards him, his expression changed, and he quickly stood up, wanting to escape. However, as soon as he stood up, he felt a wave of dizziness, which made him sit back down on the ground.
