Super Rich Fantasy: I Grow Stronger By Spending Money

381 Heading to the Five Poison Sect

The various sects still brought quite a number of people to attend the Five Poison Sect’s ancestor’s birthday. This was also to prevent the Five Poison Sect from really doing anything unusual. It was clear that they were still rather cautious.

Along the way, the people of the Valley of Medicine Masters saw many disciples of other sects. The Second Elder couldn’t help but sigh, “This time, the Five Poison Sect is really impressive. It’s almost as grand as the centennial event.”

“That’s right. After all, everyone knows what they’re capable of. Who would dare not to give the Five Poison Sect’s ancestor some respect? Aren’t they afraid that he’ll come looking for them in the middle of the night and bring them to the King of Hell for tea?”

The Third Elder’s tone was mocking, but he lowered his voice when he said the last sentence.

“Third Elder, please be careful with your words. The territory of the Five Poison Sect is right in front of us. What would people think if they heard you?”

The Third Elder looked embarrassed and he replied, “I was just saying.”

“Everyone, be careful with your words and actions. After all, this is not your own sect, so it’s better to be careful.”

“Eh?” The Fifth Elder seemed to have discovered something. His gaze fell to the side and sized it up.

“Everyone knows that miasma is everywhere around the Five Poison Sect. This is already the Lingnan mountain range, so why can’t I feel the presence of miasma?”

The others also realized that something was wrong. “That’s right, we’ve even prepared the antidote for it.”

Apart from the smell of decay that made people feel a little uncomfortable, the miasma in the vicinity had disappeared.

The people from the Five Poison Sect had been waiting for a long time, and they were in charge of leading the big sects. When they saw the people from the Valley of Medicine Masters, they immediately went to greet them.

“Everyone, please follow me.”

The Five Poison Sect disciple seemed to have noticed their confusion and explained, “For the ancestor’s birthday, a special formation has been set up to block the miasma to prevent accidental injuries. You may proceed with ease.”

Even if the Five Poison Sect had not done so, the Valley of Medicine Masters had already prepared antidotes, and the other sects who had been worried about the existence of miasma were completely at ease.

Along the way, the rotten smell in the air became more serious, like the rotten fish and shrimp in the old ditch. It was hard to ignore it even if they wanted to.

Someone couldn’t help but complain, “Since you’ve blocked the miasma, why don’t you just get rid of the smell? It’s too awful.”

If someone had dared to say this in the past, the Five Poison Sect disciple would have released poisonous insects to entertain him. But now, the Five Poison Sect disciple only lowered his head and smiled, as if he was a little embarrassed.

“We’ll be more careful next time. I didn’t notice it before, but it’ll be much better when we get inside the sect.”

It was clear that the Five Poison Sect’s attitude was not bad. Even if the smell was unpleasant, everyone could bear it.

After all, there were many swamps here, and many animal corpses were mixed with dead branches and rotten leaves. Moreover, the terrain was low-lying and there was no ventilation, so it was not strange to produce such a smell. They did not take it to heart.

The Five Poison Sect was located in the deepest part of the Lingnan mountain range. Most people had only been to the outer area and did not dare to step into this place. There were many poisonous insects here, and it was also their territory. Ordinary people did not dare to provoke them easily. If they were bitten by those poisonous insects, it would be no laughing matter.

Perhaps it was because the Five Poison Sect had dealt with it in advance, but the crowd did not see the shadow of those venomous creatures. Instead, they saw the corpses of many demonic beasts.

Because they had lived in the miasma for too long, these demon beasts had also mutated, and they looked strange.

“Why are there so many demonic beast corpses…”

Everyone muttered inwardly, especially when they were stared at by that pair of lifeless beast eyes.

They were clearly here to attend a birthday celebration, yet they had encountered so many corpses. Although the cultivators were not superstitious, they still felt that it was somewhat unlucky.

“I’ve heard that the Five Poison Sect’s poison techniques are treacherous and ruthless. Sometimes, they would even experiment on demonic beasts. Now, it seems that these rumors are not groundless.”

These demonic beasts’ faces were distorted, and their eyes were about to pop out. It was obvious that they had suffered great pain before they died. Their corpses were all dark green in color, and it was apparent that they were poisoned.

The people of the Valley of Medicine Masters were discussing in low voices. They all felt that the Five Poison Sect’s method was somewhat sinister. After all, demonic beasts were also living creatures. If they had taken their lives directly, it would have been fine, but they had to suffer such torture.

Killing too many living beings would not be very beneficial to his future cultivation. If it was more severe, he would even suffer from lightning tribulations and breed all kinds of inner demons, except for those who were cruel by nature or evil.

After all, they were in the Five Poison Sect’s territory, and it was not appropriate for others to point fingers. They only dared to discuss in low voices.

Probably for the sake of the birthday banquet, the ground was specially laid with red silk to express the festivity. It was clear that the Five Poison Sect had made careful preparations.

However, this place was dark all year round, and the sun could not be seen. The red silk on the ground seemed a little dim, and in addition to the surrounding gloomy environment, the color was like dried blood, which made it look strange and sudden.

However, the Five Poison Sect’s disciple didn’t know his limits and even felt good about himself.

“This decor was specially arranged by our Grand Elder to celebrate our ancestor’s birthday. I’m sure everyone thinks it’s not bad.”

“It’s alright…”

Everyone went against their conscience and didn’t want to dampen his enthusiasm.

“There’s even better-looking stuff inside, and it’ll definitely broaden everyone’s horizons.”

The gate of the Five Poison Sect was shaped like the head of a beast. Its face was extremely ferocious, and its mouth was wide open, waiting for everyone to enter.

After seeing the scene inside clearly, the crowd finally understood what he meant.

The hall was also hung with a lot of red silk in the color of blood. In the dark environment, it seemed particularly oppressive, making people feel a little breathless, and the light used to illuminate the place was green, like countless will-o’- the-wisps.

This kind of decor was somewhat like the netherworld. There was even a person from a small sect that complimented, “I didn’t expect the inside of the Five Poison Sect to be like this. It’s really too down-to-earth.”

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely quiet. Everyone’s expression became subtle, and no one responded to his words.

In the end, it was Zhou Hong who came forward to break the quiet atmosphere.

“Everyone, please take your seats. What are you all standing here for?”
