358 The Five Poison Sect’s Ambition

The Lingnan mountain range was filled with miasma. If ordinary people stepped into it, they would be easily corroded by the poison. But the Five Poison Sect was different. They were associated with poisonous creatures and cultivated all kinds of strange poison techniques.

The miasma had no effect on them. Instead, it had become a natural shelter, where the base camp of the Five Poison Sect was.

As the sunlight did not pass through for a long time, the surroundings were very dark and damp, which was the favorite environment of poisonous creatures. There were many poisonous insects, and the rustling sound in the darkness almost made people’s scalps numb.

Even the ground was extremely soft, and half of the nest of poisonous insects would collapse with a single step.

“Father, why don’t you capture him and bring him here to vent your anger? Look at how arrogant he is. Isn’t he just relying on the Valley of Medicine Masters? He doesn’t even care about us, the Five Poison Sect.”

Zhou Sheng, who returned in defeat, had an ugly expression on his face. He touched his blind eye and wished he could dig out Ye Xuan’s eye and attach it to himself.

“What do you know? Yao Tianchen clearly wants to protect him. It seems like we can’t touch him for the time being.”

No matter how savage the Five Poison Sect was, they would not do something like snatching people at the entrance of the Valley of Medicine Masters. Otherwise, it would really break out into a war.

Zhou Sheng felt indignant, he said, “So what? Valley of Medicine Masters will be ours sooner or later anyway. Who is Yao Tianchen?”

From the arrogance and ambition in his words, it seemed that he had been influenced by the people around him a lot. Otherwise, Zhou Sheng wouldn’t have said such words.

Zhou Hong couldn’t help but glare at him. He warned, “It’s fine to say these words in the sect. If it spreads outside, we’ll be alarming the enemy. You’d better be careful with your words.”

In other words, he really had the intention of annexing Valley of Medicine Masters.

Yao Tianchen knew that the Five Poison Sect harbored evil intentions. At most, they wanted to expand their sphere of influence, but he definitely didn’t expect them to be so bold as to have such thoughts.

Although the overall strength of the Valley of Medicine Masters was not as good as that of the Five Poison Sect, on the surface, the two were about the same. If they really attacked, even if the Five Poison Sect won, they would have to pay a considerable price. Not to mention that the Valley of Medicine Masters had other allies, who would definitely not sit by and do nothing.

Zhou Sheng obviously didn’t take his words to heart. “It’s just a matter of time. What if that brat runs away?”

Zhou Hong’s expression changed slightly. He frowned and looked at him. He said sternly, “You’d better behave yourself for the next few days. If you ruin the ancestor’s plan, I will never forgive you. I’ll send people to keep an eye on the Valley of Medicine Masters, that boy will never be able to escape. When the matter is settled, you can do whatever you want to him.”

Seeing that Zhou Sheng still had the same expression, Zhou Hong raised his voice, “Do you hear me!?”

Only then did Zhou Sheng say unwillingly, “I understand.”

Ye Xuan had blinded Zhou Sheng. This was Zhou Hong’s only son. If it was in the past, he would have forced the Valley of Medicine Masters to hand over the man no matter what. However, this was not beneficial to the plan, so he had to be patient for the time being.

“I’ll go and see how the ancestor is doing. Don’t try to cause any trouble at this critical moment.”

Knowing Zhou Sheng’s character, Zhou Hong gave him a few more orders before leaving.

However, as soon as he left, Zhou Sheng summoned his men with a dark expression. How could he not take revenge for his blinded eye?!

Since Ye Xuan was hiding in the Valley of Medicine Masters for a while, and with Yao Tianchen’s protection, he couldn’t do anything for the time being. Killing a few disciples of the Valley of Medicine Masters could also vent his anger.

“Pass down my order, if you see any Valley of Medicine Masters disciples outside, capture them for me.”

He seemed to have thought of something. He couldn’t do anything to Ye Xuan if he was in the Valley of Medicine Masters, but what if Ye Xuan was outside the valley?

…

The atmosphere in the Valley of Medicine Masters had been a bit depressing for the past few days. Yao Tianchen had ordered all the disciples not to leave the valley. The Five Poison Sect had dared to make a move earlier, and now that they could not get Ye Xuan, so it gave them even more reasons and excuses to be unscrupulous.

For a moment, some people were anxious.

“Why does Valley Master want to protect that person? All this trouble was caused by him. It’s not our fault. We might as well hand him over.”

“We, the Valley of Medicine Masters, have always stood aloof from worldly affairs and never participated in these kinds of chaos. This time, the Five Poison Sect used this as an excuse to make a fuss. In the end, it’s all because of that Ye Xuan.”

“That’s right. Maybe we’ll be fine if we hand him over. A few days ago, I sent a letter to Senior Brother Zhao, who was outside, but I didn’t get a reply. I don’t know if he has met with any mishaps.”

The disciples whispered to each other, placing the blame on Ye Xuan.

“What are you guys talking about?!”

A cold male voice shouted. The disciples were like frightened quails. They turned around and saw that it was Li Mao.

“Hello, Senior Brother Li.”

Li Mao’s face was filled with disappointment. “What are you talking about? fellow Daoist Ye offended the Five Poison Sect to save us. If you hand him over, you might as well hand us over as well. Don’t let me hear such ungrateful words again!”

The disciple pursed his lips and looked embarrassed. He said, “Senior Brother, we know we were wrong and we won’t dare to do it again, but…”

Seeing that the disciple was hesitating, Li Mao said icily, “If you have something to say, just say it.”

“But a few of my senior and junior brothers are outside. I haven’t seen them return in the past few days. I’m afraid that the Five Poison Sect has already taken action…”

Li Mao felt disappointed that the disciple failed to live up to his expectations. He replied, “That’s none of fellow Daoist Ye’s business. Can’t you see that the Five Poison Sect has been looking for trouble with the Valley of Medicine Masters for a long time? He hasn’t even blamed us for being a burden, but you’re the ones who are complaining first.”

The few disciples flushed at Li Mao’s words and nodded repeatedly. “You’re right, Senior Brother Li.”

“If the valley master and elders hear this, I’m afraid it won’t be as simple as a warning. Please don’t repeat these words again.”

The disciples only dispersed after Li Mao gave them an implicit warning.

If he could hear it, that would mean the gossip had also reached the ears of the elders.
