Counterattack System appeared when I'm already At The Mahayana Realm

Back at the banquet, the third senior brother laughed. “Just drinking is so boring, let me perform a sword dance to liven up the party.”

Third Senior Brother picked up his sword and moved around the table. His swordsmanship wasn’t exceptional, but it was entertaining, earning a round of applause from everyone.

As the third senior brother got caught up in the performance, his hand shook, almost stabbing the fourth senior brother. Luckily, the fourth senior brother was on his guard and dodged in time.

“Old Fourth, are you okay?” The third senior brother asked, showing concern. He felt regret. He had rubbed poison on his sword but had missed his chance to harm him.

The fourth senior brother burst out laughing. “It’s okay, it’s okay. You haven’t practiced your sword dance for so long and you’re quite rusty. Come, let me accompany you.”

Sword lights intertwined. Murderous intent appeared in the eyes of both the third and fourth senior brothers before it swiftly disappeared.

With their younger siblings present, they couldn’t engage in a full-on fight. They reluctantly sheathed their swords while exchanging begrudging looks.

What the crowd didn’t know was that two figures were watching them from above.

“These people are a chaotic mess.” The invited observer, Bai Hongtu, shook his head.

“Care to guess who will survive in the end?” Jiang Li asked with a smile.

“I won’t guess.” Bai Hongtu refused Jiang Li’s invitation. He had never been correct. There was no need to spoil his own mood.

Jiang Li shook his head. Old Bai had become smarter, not falling into his trap.

“Speaking of which, it’s been a while since I last came here, and this youngster is getting along so well with his senior sister. Did you coach him?” Bai Hongtu asked curiously.

Bai Hongtu knew that ever since Jiang Li arrived in the Ancient World, he had been guiding Yu Feng from behind the scenes, trying to make him survive at all costs.

As for the current result, Yu Feng has managed to survive until the age of eighteen.

Would Jiang Li, with his lack of understanding of romance, really be able to guide Yu Feng in love?

If Jiang Li was the mentor, Bai Hongtu would resign as the Sect Master of the Dao Sect to be a commander in the Imperial Palace.

Speaking of this topic, Jiang Li frowned deeply. “I’ve tried my best to guide Yu Feng on how to pursue Wu Lian. But Yu Feng stubbornly didn’t follow my advice and somehow managed to win her over. Strange.”

“How did you instruct him?”

“I told him that since Wu Lian likes sugar beans, he should teach her how to make them. It’s better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. She will surely be grateful and, in the end, fall in love with you.”

“Contrary to what I told him, Yu Feng took time out of his cultivation to make sugar beans for Wu Lian.”

“I also told him, women like to hear lies. If she asks you if she looks good, you must say she doesn’t.”

“But Yu Feng responded so cheesily that it made my skin crawl. In summary, he just said ‘pretty’.”

“Why use so many words when a few words can do the job?”

Jiang Li believed that efficiency was key, and one should use the simplest method to solve a problem.

Bai Hongtu thought to himself that no wonder Jiang Li died so many times, his willpower was incredibly strong, to be able to ignore Jiang Li’s nonsense advice.

Any one who listened to Jiang Li even once would ruin their romantic relationship.”The swordfight between the two senior brothers was really exciting, almost real. I thought you guys were going to fight for real.” Yu Feng cheered from the side.

“Little Junior Brother, you’re too funny. How could we possibly fight?” The third and fourth senior brothers were laughing heartily and arm in arm. The third senior brother patted a delay-burst rune on the fourth senior brother’s clothing, while the fourth brother applied a rune that could easily cause one to lose control on the third brother’s clothes.

“Senior Brother, your skills have gotten rusty. Look, you even punctured my clothes.”

“It was a mistake, a mistake. I was sweating profusely and my clothes got soaked.”

The two exchanged a glance and laughed, quickly swapping their clothes.

“Look, fireflies!” Yu Feng pointed at the not-so-distant grassland. Scattered patches of light arose from the grass forming a gentle glow. It was truly a beautiful sight.

“So beautiful.” Senior sister Wu Lian was amazed.

All of them were distracted by the fireflies. Only the fourth senior brother didn’t focus on them.

His junior brother had told him he would arrange for a group of fireflies at the banquet to distract everyone, so that he could take the opportunity to poison them.

He stealthily put poison into the wine jugs of the third and fifth senior brothers, paying full attention, afraid that the fifth senior brother might notice. He didn’t realize that a firefly had fluttered over his bowl, touched lightly, and then flew away.

The technique to control creatures could also be used to control insects.

After watching the fireflies, everyone returned their attention back to the banquet.

Unfortunately, the third and fifth brothers were cautious, afraid that the fourth senior brother would poison them again, and they didn’t drink any wine.

The fourth senior brother felt his luck was terrible—missing out on this opportunity—and was sulky.

“Come, let’s raise our glasses to celebrate our junior brother reaching the Core Formation and officially becoming a Gold Core Period cultivator!” Senior Sister Wu Lian suggested.

Third and fifth senior brother assumed the rim of the cup was poisoned and deliberately broke theirs. They took out a new set from their Storage Rings.

After everyone had taken their drinks, Yu Feng served his senior sister enthusiastically.

“Senior Sister, try this. I stewed an old hen with five-fingered peach.”

Wu Lian, the senior sister, took a delicate bite. “Delicious.”

“Wu Lian’s wine was also poisoned, wasn’t it?”

Jiang Li glance at Yu Feng. “What do you think Yu Feng kept serving Wu Lian with dishes for? It’s because the combination of ingredients like lilies and five-fingered peach can neutralize the poison.”

The feast ended and everyone left.

When the third senior brother returned to his room, suspecting he had been poisoned, he tried to use his spiritual energy to check when seven orifices suddenly bled. He died quickly.

The poison that the fourth senior brother used was called Reverse Poison. If a poisoned person circulated their spiritual energy within six hours of getting poisoned, it would lead to the inversion of their meridians and death.

The fourth senior brother knew that both the third and fifth brothers would definitely die and peacefully went to sleep, but never woke up again.

The pills that Yu Feng had been giving to the fourth senior brother contained an extremely small amount of poison. It gathered up into a terrifying amount over time.

The firefly controlled by Yu Feng also carried a type of poison, albeit a tiny amount. It acted like a primer, triggering a full-scale explosion of the poison accumulated within the fourth senior brother.

However, the testing result would show that the cause of death was overdosing on elixirs, identified as elixir poisoning.

Yu Feng could deflect any suspicions off him. He had the means to prove that the source of the poison did not originate from him but was from the spirit plant that the fifth senior brother had cultivated.

The Spirit Medicine Sect was an expert whether it came to making pills or poison. They could save a person or bring harm to him equally well.

Being cautious, the fifth senior brother thought he might have been affected by the kind of poison that would cause instant death if their spiritual energy were circulated. So, he carefully selected and consumed a Detoxification Pill.

In the fifth senior brother’s bedroom grew a Night Silent Flower, which emitted a quiet fragrance. It was his favorite spirit plant.

However, he didn’t know that the fragrance would react with the lilies and five-fingered peaches in his system, producing an extremely toxic substance.

The fifth senior brother clutching his chest, vomited black blood and collapsed. He immediately realized, “Oh no, I’ve been poisoned!”

“If I’m going to die, you all are going down with me!” The fifth senior brother made a decisive move. Ignoring the risk of revealing his identity, he sent all the information he possessed to the real sect master.

“Hmm?” The Daoist passing through was disturbed by the fifth senior brother’s sudden movement and was jolted out of his meditation.
