Chapter 854: Ambition

The Yin-Yang School disciple quietly took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve. In the bottle was a deadly poison of their own creation - called "Ni Xue Wanghun San".

This drug is extremely concealed and there is no unusual effect when taking it at first. However, after drinking alcohol, once there are drastic emotional fluctuations or exercise, the qi and blood will flow backwards, rushing to the heart and causing death.

Moreover, after death, the poison will be completely dissolved in the body. No matter how skilled the medicine master is, no trace of the poison can be found and it will only be considered that the death was caused by natural factors.

Upon seeing this, Shadow Scorpion quietly took out a small blowpipe from his bosom, on the tip of which he had quietly smeared the powder of "Anti-Blood Pill".

He blew gently, and the dart flew silently towards the two Si family members like a ghost.

The two Si family members were fleeing in panic, unaware of the danger behind them.

The blowgun dart cut through the night sky and accurately shot into the back of the neck of one of the Si family members.

He was stunned for a moment, and felt a chill coming from the back of his neck, followed by an inexplicable heat surging in his body.

"What...what's going on?"

He shouted in horror, but before he could finish his words, he felt a rush of blood rushing up, his forehead became congested, and his face turned red in an instant.

When another member of the Si family saw this, he was shocked and turned around to check on his companions.

However, the moment he turned around, Shadow Scorpion blew out another arrow, and this arrow shot directly into his throat.

He opened his eyes wide, feeling an indescribable pain rising in his heart, and then the blood rushed up, and his face turned as red as blood.

And those dandy young men who had escaped also realized something was wrong at this moment. They stopped and turned to look at the two fallen Si family members.

"What...what's going on?"

A dandy boy asked in a trembling voice.

However, before he could finish his words, he felt a rush of blood rushing up, his forehead became congested, and his face turned as red as blood.

He covered his chest in horror and wanted to say something, but only uttered a few "ho ho" sounds in his dying struggle, and then collapsed to the ground with a bang, without a breath.

Upon seeing this, the other young men fled in fear, as if they had encountered something terrifying.

However, their fate was already determined.

Shadow Scorpion and the Yin-Yang School disciple followed quietly behind them and shot them to death one by one with blowgun darts.

Yin Jingyi in the courtyard was immersed in the pain of losing Cong Suxin and was unaware of the movement outside the courtyard.

Therefore, when Yin Jingyi slowly withdrew from his grief, his eyes slowly swept across the courtyard. It was a mess, with corpses of playboys lying all over the ground, some still with terrified expressions before death.

The moonlight shining on this dead silence seemed particularly desolate.

His gaze finally fixed on the two Si family members who should have escaped but still fell in a pool of blood not far away. His heart suddenly shuddered, and an ominous premonition penetrated his spine like ice.

"This...isn't right."

He whispered to himself, his brows furrowed, a hint of alertness flashing in his eyes.

As a battle-hardened general, Yin Jingyi is extremely sensitive to danger.

So he quickly realized that the series of events that happened today were probably not accidental, and there must be a deeper conspiracy behind it.

But at this moment, regret and self-blame surged like a tide, drowning all his rationality - and made him realize even more emotionally that he had been pushed to the forefront by the unknown black behind the scenes, and was in a dilemma.

Now he has made a big mistake. He will be in trouble if he sticks his head out, and he will be in trouble if he keeps his head down!
He was already placed directly on the edge of the cliff, with no way back!

Taking a deep breath, Yin Jingyi forced himself to calm down. He knew that now was not the time to indulge in emotions, he had to make a decision and find a way out for himself and the soldiers who followed him.

The character of a tyrant made him adjust his mindset quickly, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes.

He stared blankly at Cong Suxin in his arms for a moment, then turned around resolutely, strode out of the villa, and headed straight for the outside of the city, aiming directly at the elite army of the Daqian Dynasty under his control - the Tiger Head Heavy Armored Battalion.

There was a murderous atmosphere in the Tiger Head Heavy Armor Battalion camp outside the city.

The soldiers, clad in heavy tiger-head armor and holding heavy halberds, stood majestically, like unshakable mountains.

Yin Jingyi walked into the camp, glanced at the soldiers, and felt an inexplicable comfort in his heart.

This is his territory, and also his greatest source of power!

He walked straight towards his own tent. Along the way, the soldiers saluted him one after another, but he just nodded slightly without stopping.

Entering the general's tent, he immediately summoned his trusted generals in the Tiger Head Heavy Armor Camp.

"Everyone, I have called you all here today to discuss something important."

Yin Jingyi, who was at the top, said in a deep voice, his face extremely gloomy.

The generals looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never seen Yin Jingyi with such a serious expression, and they couldn't help but have a premonition that something bad was going to happen.

"Today in the city's villa, I encountered a long-planned plot."

"Those Si family members, relying on the pressure from the royal family, actually dared to attack my confidante. I could no longer tolerate it and killed them."

Yin Jingyi spoke slowly. Although his voice was calm, it revealed an uncontrollable anger.

The generals were shocked when they heard this.

They knew that although Yin Jingyi had a strong personality, his emotions had always been extremely stable and he was not someone who would easily kill someone.

Such a big fuss has occurred this time. It must be that the children of the Si family have gone too far.

"I, Yin Jingyi, have caused the deaths of many royal children and the descendants of the rich and powerful because of my own selfishness. I cannot escape the blame for this crime, but—"

He changed the subject and his eyes became sharp.

"I know there must be someone behind this, intent on stirring up trouble and disrupting our government."

There was silence in the camp. The generals looked at each other. Although they had doubts in their hearts, they did not dare to speak easily.

"My Yin family has been loyal for generations, and I, Yin Jingyi, am even more unwilling to bear the name of a traitor."

"But now I have been forced into a desperate situation. Only by fighting hard can I save my own life and the lives of my brothers."

Yin Jingyi looked at his confidant who was stunned by the sudden news and continued.

"General, what should we do?"

A trusted general below couldn't help but ask.

"What should I do? Humph, since they dare to attack me, don't blame me, Yin Jingyi, for being cruel and ruthless!"

"From today on, the Tiger Head Heavy Armored Battalion will no longer be the running dogs of the royal family, but my, Yin Jingyi's, private armed forces!"

Yin Jingyi sneered, and a look of determination appeared in his eyes which were already a little gloomy.
