The dagger met with Ken\'s sword and failed to penetrate through it. The residual force behind the strike made the dagger slide upward, but it failed to penetrate through the thin armor that covered his torso. His body was also coated in Sword Qi which helped to negate the attack.

"Young Master, are you all right?!"

Max hurriedly pushed the body of the woman off Ken.

"Healers! Healers!"

Many people have gathered around them during this time. Some did not intervene because they did not know what was going on while others were too late or too weak.

"I\'m a fourth-rank alchemist, let me have a look," One man came forward to see, but Ken sent him away with a motion of his hand.

"I\'m fine, I was not injured. Let\'s hurry back home before other incidents happen," Ken said and got up on his feet with a light movement. The bodyguards\' expressions turned into relieved ones instantly, knowing they couldn\'t afford to let their client die, especially when said client was a genius of a top elite clan.

"Oh, that\'s great, Young Master. I will check on the corpses," Jake first took the storage ring from Emma\'s finger and stored her corpse in his ring before going to the man lying on the ground. After kicking him with his toe for a moment to makes sure he was dead, Jake crouched by his side and-

"What are you doing?" Max stared at him with a weird expression.

"Ah, he was having a post-death erection and I was wondering if his claim about his tool was true..." Jake explained embarrassedly.

"Was it?"

"It was."

*Smack*

"Ouch, Young Master, I was just curious!"

"He is not even dead yet. Give me his ring and move away. I will take care of his body." Ken pushed the bodyguard aside and burned the corpse with an Alchemy technique in order to make the evidence of the poison disappear.

When Noah failed to attack Ken earlier, Ken managed to bring the poisoned dagger he took from Toby out of his sleeve and graze the man\'s skin with it. Despite inflicting a small wound that would normally heal within minutes in their stage, it was enough for the poison to take effect and make Noah collapse. His life was still hanging on a thread when Ken burned his body, but he wouldn\'t survive for more than a couple of minutes.

He suspected them the moment Emma landed nearby. He did not believe he encountered such drama on his way home by coincidence. Hence, he prepared a sixth-rank Suppression Formation Scroll in hand and activated it when he noticed their killing intent peak with his Bloodlust Sense.

Utilizing the single chance he had when the scroll caught the assassins unawares, he swiftly incapacitated one of them, leading to a considerably less challenging continuation of the battle. Thanks to his Cloud Running technique, he managed to dodge the weakened cultivators and cut Noah.

When he confronted Emma in her suicide attack, he did not use the full power of the Slash, only unleashing 27 in 1 instead of 81, or else a weakened sixth-stage cultivator of the twins\' caliber would never be able to slam him against the ground.

As for his weirdly located belt, he did not keep it high specifically for this moment, but he meant to use it when he needed it, and now was such a time. He saw her diving to stab him at the cost of her life, and he knew he could never afford to be stabbed by this poison. Although he might be able to save himself, he did not want to take such a bet.

Even if he understood the underlying process of the poison on time, he wouldn\'t be able to fight it successfully using only his fourth stage. The gap between the seventh stage and the fourth was just too big.

"Let\'s go," Ken said and the trio left the scene. Jake and Max remained silent while Ken burned the man\'s corpse, and even handed over his storage ring quietly.

\'Those assassinations were well timed, only lately Fernando said I\'m safe within the sect. He\'ll still say I\'m safe within the clan, but we will see for how long he will be able to say that.\' Ken thought to himself while he walked down the path to his clan\'s territory.

"Young Master Ken, welcome back." The guards at the entrance bowed and welcomed him as he entered the clan\'s territory.

"Please go to report that the young master was attacked, and there were two assassination attempts against him today, one at the Medic Hall, and one on the way back here. We can\'t leave his side," Jake asked one of the other guards. Since they were there mainly for formalities, it didn\'t matter much if one left their post to report.

"Of course. Ben, you go and report." The one in charge commanded one of the other guards.

"Senior Brother, I can escort them to Young Master Ken\'s house, it\'d be safer if they had one more guard by their side in case of another assassination attempt. We can\'t know if the Four Seasons Sect have another evil plot in mind even in the clan\'s territory."

One guard suggested to the leader. After pondering on it for a moment, the leader nodded and sent him with them.

"You\'re right, go with them. Come back once Young Master is at his house, I don\'t think anyone can launch an attack on him there without getting killed by the clan\'s elders first."

"Yes, Senior Brother."

"Big Brother, are we really going to settle for a fifth-stage cultivator this time? Can he even do his job with the two bodyguards Ken Sue has around him all the time? That kid should be pretty strong too, and commoners are weaker than elite families."

Three people were sitting on tree branches and talking. The one who voiced the last opinion was the only girl in the trio.
