g countless casualties."Of course, this is just a joke. Regardless of how much Jiang Wang was involved, Xiong Wen's infiltration of Fenglin City was fundamentally because of my pursuit of him. If you...One wave hasn't settled yet, and another one rises.

Jiang Wang's heart moved, but she didn't point out the problem of death qi erosion in time.

Because he couldn't be sure who was behind this, he held back from speaking and potentially drawing the attention of whoever was lurking in the shadows.

>

But he can't let things continue like this.

Jiang Wang slightly organized his thoughts and spoke, "Regardless of the circumstances, because of Tianfu Longgong's uniqueness, the person who provoked the killing intent must be nearby. There are two possibilities. The first is that he is hiding in plain sight, but we all can't find him. This possibility doesn't need to be considered for now. Because since we can't find him, thinking about it is useless."

"The second possibility is that he's one of us! In that case, he would naturally create opportunities for conflict to serve his hidden agenda. From now on, anyone who attempts to start a fight will be seen by me as the mastermind behind this and will be slain!"

Jiang Wang said up to this point, looking at Ji Xiu Dao: "Ji Brother, since you have a way to resolve the invasion of killing intent. Then, how much time do you need to find the root cause of the chaos caused by killing intent Even, to catch the mastermind behind it"

Ji Xiulue thought for a moment, then said confidently: “As long as no one disrupts, the root of the method will be found within an hour. As for the person behind the scenes, they must have found the root of the method and will not fear a lack of clues.”

The monks of Dongwanggu carry considerable weight when it comes to speaking on this matter.

Everyone in the room, whether they were doing a good job of concealing it or not, didn't show anything out of the ordinary.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

Jiang Wang secretly observed, saying in his mouth: "Since that's the case, why don't you all be patient and wait outside the hall together, keeping an eye on each other. Let Brother Ji find some clues first, and then we can decide what to do next."

Lian Que immediately agreed: “Sure.”

"Just a quarter of an hour, there's no need to leave. The murderous intent won't reach you temporarily." Ji Xiu said, taking out a needle pouch from his waist and was about to start using his skills.

This is a simple example of how to use HTML tags within text.

"Perhaps it's best to wait outside the hall." The female cultivator seemed a bit uneasy, glancing around: "I have a feeling something is strange about this place."

Zhao Fangyuan’s injuries hadn't healed properly, and he was even more careful. He repeatedly agreed, saying: "It's better to wait outside. I can't help here anyway. If we interfere with Dong Wanggu's methods, it might backfire.”

Here is the translated content:

Even the robed monk said, "That makes sense."

"Do as you please." Ji Xiu pulled out a silver needle, flicked it with his finger, and said softly: "Just in case an opportunity arises during this time. I hope you'll take pity on my efforts to treat you and not go all out against me."

As soon as these words were spoken, several people stood up.

That's right, what if during the time we are waiting outside, a divine opportunity arises

Although the main hall was dangerous, didn't they know before entering the Heavenly Treasury Secret Realm that this place was a perilous one

To leave the divine opportunity because of danger now, isn't that quite laughable.

No one was willing to leave the hall; everyone's feet seemed rooted to the ground.

That ever-present yet unseen mystical opportunity tightly grasped them. It pulled them into the secret realm of Heavenly Mansion and trapped them within the Dragon Palace of Heavenly Mansion.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Jiang Wang suggested waiting outside the palace, driven by his concern for everyone's safety. However, given the current situation, it was difficult to persuade them further. Otherwise, they would risk attracting the attention of the hidden mastermind.

He still couldn't tell if the one who commanded death qi and the one who set up the killing intent-infused methods were the same person. He couldn't even be sure if the other party was still in the main hall.

Ji Xiu held a silver needle in one hand, raised it before his eyes, and with the other hand pinched a seal, using secret techniques.

Just then...

This is a tricky one! It looks like you're asking me to translate the content within the HTML tags `

` but leave the tags themselves unchanged. Please provide the text *between* the tags, and I'll be happy to translate it for you into English.

His hand suddenly trembled, and the silver needle fell to the ground.

He could not even hold a needle steady, and he sank to his knees in pain.

"How...how could this be"

His voice had also become extremely weak.

What happened

Jiang Wang was about to make a move.

The nun fainted and fell backward.

She was found with her limbs outstretched and face shrouded in gray, lifeless even after such a short time.

became the second corpse in the Four Heavenly Palaces.

It's a heart attack!

Please note: I've removed the unnecessary " " tags from your input. If you need any further assistance, feel free to ask!

Jiang Wang's heart moved, and he immediately collapsed to the ground, feigning pain. At the same time, he stirred up his internal energy, making himself appear weak and exhausted.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

And over there, Zhao Fangyuan coughed up a mouthful of blood, mixed with gray and black.

The man was already badly injured, and at this moment he collapsed directly onto the ground, barely managing to stay upright.

The long-robed cultivator had already fallen to the ground, his life and death unknown.

On the field, only Liànquè seemed to be in relatively good shape, still able to stand firm.

His entire face turned crimson, like a blazing fire.

However, visible gray smoke was spreading from his neck up toward his face.

Red and gray clash against each other.

Ji Xiu strained his neck, looking at him with effort: "So it was you who made the move! You instigated the killing intent as well All this while, you've been using a ruse"

“No! It wasn’t me!” Lian Que roared.

However, upon hearing this, a wisp of gray qi surged upward from the base of his neck.

He had no choice but to shut up immediately and focus on resisting the erosion.

His body was like a furnace refining iron, using secret methods to refine the dead qi that was corroding his body.

But with too much dead energy, the sudden explosion, he could only barely maintain himself.

For a moment, all the cultivators in the entire Fourth Heavenly Palace seemed to have lost their fighting spirit.

After a moment of silence.

"Damn, who the hell is it"

The sound gradually increased in volume.

Ji Xiu spoke, slowly standing up.

He appeared calm and composed, his footing steady. There was not the slightest indication that he had been affected.

He looked around, sizing up each person in the hall with sharp eyes: “I’m truly curious, who was behind this murderous scheme Now that you've been poisoned by my Nine Deaths Toxin, how are you feeling”

Zhao Fangyuan collapsed to the ground, her expression panicked: "...What kind of poison"

"You heard right." Ji Xiu chuckled softly, seemingly pleased with the discerning individuals present. "Many people know of the name 'Nine Deaths Poison,' but few know its true nature. In fact, this poison has nine manifestations. I've chosen just one."

He looked at Tian Yong's corpse on the ground: "Using this unfortunate bastard's body, with his death qi as poison, to trigger the death qi in those who were poisoned, causing sudden death. Besides that woman who had a hidden illness, you all have held on quite well, but there is no antidote for this poison. Because it is the death qi that everyone has within them, the Nine Deaths Poison in the form of death qi, only brings forward your destined death."

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

This kind of poison is too terrifying, simply impossible to guard against. There's even a hint of fate being rewritten.

With Zhao Fangyuan's terrified eyes wide, Ji Xiu continued, "Alright, I have satisfied your curiosity. Now, who among you will satisfy mine Who is behind the killing intent that has gripped you Tell me, and I will let you die a little easier."

Curiosity alone wasn't enough to make him ask again and again. In fact, he was interested in this secret technique that used killing intent as its means.

Through killing intent, which is more hidden than through death energy, one might be able to turn a nine-death poison into a ten-death poison.

All were silent.

“Don't you feel the looming threat of murderous intent Even with my venomous snakes, I wouldn't dare to directly display it. That's why I'm giving you the next nine deaths poison, a chance to struggle. So... are you not afraid of my threat”

>

Ji Xiu shook his head, as if sighing at the naiveté of the hidden one.

He picked out a silver needle between his index and middle finger: “This is a斷紋 needle.”

With a gentle flick. Silver light flashed like electricity, piercing the heavens.

Above the grand hall's vaulted ceiling, crimson lines rapidly sketched themselves into existence, assembling into a complex and chaotic pattern.

Unbeknownst to everyone, the dome had already been inscribed with an array pattern!

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

And this pattern, had already been discovered by Ji Xiu.

He did not lie; he could indeed find the root of the killing qi's corruption.

The hidden lines of the formation only now revealed themselves. But the lines were cracked and broken, the crimson threads severed completely.

>

"tsk tsk tsk, the craftsmanship of this inscription is truly remarkable. The way it provokes killing intent to erode, is simply ingenious." Ji Xiu exclaimed.

But now it's gone.

"Now, I want to kill whoever I please. I'll kill them however I please."

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

Then I ask again, who is it

“Step forward and hand over the methods you use to let your killing intent fester. I can guarantee your life will be spared. If you don't trust me, swear an oath with your blood.”

There is still only silence.

Ji Xiu lost his patience.

This is a test to see if the HTML tags are preserved during translation.

The text between the tags "

At first, he was the default choice to assassinate Lian Que, and the fewer people alive, the fewer variables there would be.

Later, Jiang Wang spoke up, and he changed his mind.

Firstly, Tian Yong's death was indeed suspicious. Although he boasted of his skills in Dong Wang Gu, he also worried about unforeseen circumstances. After all, those who dared to enter the Heavenly Mansion secret realm were not weaklings. Therefore, he personally conducted an autopsy to understand the root cause of the problem and prepare in advance.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Secondly, he took advantage of Tian Yong's corpse to lay a nine-death poison. No matter who secretly made the move, as long as they were poisoned together.

That person who secretly plotted with murderous intent was indeed masterful, even he had to admire him. If it weren't for the snake that could consume killing qi on his body, he would have almost been caught in it.

But he was still a step ahead.

Now he holds the power, and others are powerless, at his mercy.

The mystical opportunities within the Heavenly Dragon Palace would naturally no longer be subject to unforeseen events.

But, if one could also obtain the means to be invaded by killing intent at the same time, that would be perfect.

The cloaked monk, mysterious and enigmatic, was his most suspect target. So without a word, he acted on the principle of killing first and asking questions later.

In his view, since the man was still silent, he must have some other tricks up his sleeve.

But it doesn't matter, since the deadly poison has already been administered, no one can escape.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

As for the next goal...

He looked at the lark. At this point, the lark had been defeated, lying flat on its back, grayness dominating most of its face, steadily creeping towards its eyes.

It's clear to everyone that he's about to reach his breaking point.

This is a simpleton, easily fooled from beginning to end by almost everyone. You don't need to think too hard, you can just kill him at the end.

Zhao Fangyuan... His injuries are undeniable, he's in bad shape, and the chances of a comeback are slim.

Ji Xiu turned very naturally, his gaze falling on Jiang Wang who lay on the ground, silent and seemingly having completely given up struggling.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

He couldn't quite figure out the depth of this person.

Then come and try killing me.

Ji Xiu's lips curled into a slight smile, he pulled out a silver needle, and was about to make a move.

But suddenly lowered his head, looking at his own chest.

Because a hand had silently passed from behind him to his chest.

It was a stiff, bluish-black hand, unlike that of a living person.
