Murong Tiannan’s face was quite unsightly, but facing everyone from the Imperial City family at this moment, since the other party was challenging his position as Family Head according to the rules, he naturally could only accept the challenge, having no other choice!

Besides, six years ago, Murong Tiannan had once fought against them, so he was confident he could directly thwart their conspiracy.

The skinny, white-haired old man was named Murong Tiancheng. He stood up and said, ”Good! So brave. In that case, let me meet you! Everyone here will be witnesses according to the rules!”

After Murong Tiancheng finished speaking, he and Murong Tiannan walked directly to the martial arts arena at the back of the Murong Family estate.

This was a piece of the forest in the backyard of the Murong Family, a land that belonged to the Murong Family, with a huge martial arts arena on it, where the biennial family gathering would be held.

Today, however, was not a family gathering, but rather a direct challenge to the Family Head, which was rare in Murong Family history.

Everyone spread out at this moment, leaving only Murong Tiannan and Murong Tiancheng facing each other in the center of the square.

Beside them stood Murong Tianren and the chubby white-haired elder Murong Tianxiao, acting as judges not far away.

”Heh, it’s been six years. I still vividly remember how you defeated me six years ago.”

Murong Tiancheng stared coldly at Murong Tiannan and laughed, ”Six years ago, you beat me by a move. Now, six years later, I want to show you my strength! You’ve held the position of Family Head for six years, and that’s enough!”

”Beat me by a move? You only lost one move back then? Tiancheng, you’re thinking too highly of yourself!”

Murong Tiannan opened his mouth slightly, sneering coldly.

Murong Tiancheng’s face stiffened, feeling somewhat unable to maintain his composure, he roared, ”Stop looking down on me! In terms of seniority, I am your elder cousin, and yet you shamelessly usurped the position of Family Head? Prepare yourself!”

Murong Tiancheng furrowed his brows, raised both palms, with streams of light flowing between them, he shouted loudly, ”Heavenly God Palm!”

Then, his palms struck forward like lightning directly at Murong Tiannan’s face!

His palm wind carried a golden light!

However, after seeing this move, Murong Tiannan coldly smiled, ”Heavenly God Palm, still the old move from six years ago? So many years and yet no progress at all?”

As Murong Tiancheng’s palm wind approached him, Murong Tiannan remained calm, having had absolute confidence in dealing with the Heavenly God Palm since six years ago.

”Back off!”

Suddenly, Murong Tiannan shouted loudly, his palms directly meeting the Heavenly God Palm!

Bang!

Their palms collided directly!

Whoosh!

Under the unblinking gaze of everyone, it was Murong Tiannan, who was originally sure of victory, that was sent flying by Murong Tiancheng’s palm!

In mid-air, Murong Tiannan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood!

Hiss!

Hmm?

Oh?

Everyone witnessing this event was left dumbstruck!

They all thought Murong Tiannan would easily neutralize the attack and everything seemed just that...

However, when truly engaging in combat, it was vastly different!

One move?

With just one move, Murong Tiancheng had directly struck Murong Tiannan into spitting blood!

Thud, thud, thud!

Murong Tiannan landed several meters away, retreating several steps before stabilizing.

His face was pale at this moment, with a hint of terror between his brows!

Clutching his chest, he gritted his teeth and looked up to stare at Murong Tiancheng: ”What exactly did you all do to me... My Dantian... there’s something wrong... Despicable!”

There’s something wrong with the Dantian?

As soon as Murong Tiannan’s words were spoken, everyone was stunned, all looking toward him, and indeed seeing his face was not quite right. Furthermore, his aura was noticeably weaker than before.

In fact, it was just when Murong Tiannan was about to mobilize his Qi to counter Murong Tiancheng’s move, at the critical moment, he sensed there was a problem with his Dan Tian Qi Sea. When he tried to mobilize True Qi, he felt acute chest pain—

Poisoned!

”What’s going on? Has the Family Head been poisoned?”

”Hiss, but I didn’t see anyone poisoning?”

”Murong Tiancheng? How did he poison him?”

There was much discussion among the crowd.

”Heh, unable to beat me, are we making excuses? I’m not buying it.”

Murong Tiancheng coldly laughed and said, ”You’re no longer the match you used to be, give up the position of Family Head!”

After speaking, he slowly advanced towards Murong Tiannan, seemingly intending to launch further attacks should Murong Tiannan insist.

”Really strange, my uncle must have something wrong with his health, otherwise, this wouldn’t be possible.”

Murong Ao whispered beside Qin Tian.

Qin Tian said, ”I also think there’s a problem; the moment he struck, when his True Qi moved, the poison in his body triggered.”

”Poisoned?”

Murmured Murong Ao in surprise, ”You’re right, my uncle’s strength is top-notch in the Murong Family. Even if the branch family members cultivated diligently over the years, it wouldn’t be possible to severely injure him in one move; he must have been poisoned.”

Qin Tian silently pondered, he was almost certain that someone within the Murong Family had conspired with Murong Tiancheng to poison Murong Tiannan.

And this type of poison is colorless and tasteless; usually, it doesn’t trigger unless True Qi is mobilized.

However, mobilizing True Qi is quite common for an Immortality Cultivator. Even during nightly cultivation, it’s necessary to engage the Dan Tian Qi Sea’s True Qi for assistance.

”In that case, the person who poisoned him must have been active from last night to this morning...”

Qin Tian thought to himself that the poisoning must have occurred recently. Otherwise, Murong Tiannan should have realized his Dan Tian Qi Sea’s issue when slightly mobilizing True Qi, not just discovering it during the fight.

”Murong Ao, your uncle was poisoned between last night and this morning. Investigate what he ate and drank during that time, who attended to him, and who prepared his food. These people are certainly suspicious!”

Qin Tian turned and said to Murong Ao, ”Especially pay attention to any unusual whereabouts of people within this timeframe; anyone disappearing suddenly.” You should start investigating now.

”Okay.”

Murong Ao nodded, ”Now that we’ve narrowed down the timeframe and individuals, I know how to handle it. I’ve dealt with such matters before. I’ll leave this to you.”

After speaking, Murong Ao quickly turned and left.

Meanwhile, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Murong Tiannan saw Murong Tiancheng approaching, and his expression twitched!

He was a proud person, never admitting defeat easily.

Hence, seeing Murong Tiancheng’s smug demeanor, he forcibly gathered his Qi and suddenly punched towards Murong Tiancheng!

However, as soon as he struck, his True Qi moved, and intense chest pain came—

”Pfft!”

Murong Tiannan failed to hit Murong Tiancheng but instead spewed a mouthful of fresh blood!
