356 Five Poison Sect

Just as Ye Xuan and Li Mao were talking, a disciple suddenly ran over in a hurry. “Bad news, Senior Brother Li! The group of people from the Five Poison Sect came and injured a few of our disciples.”

Li Mao’s expression turned ugly in an instant. He was furious. “We didn’t go to find trouble with them, but they took the initiative to cause trouble.”

There was an array outside the Valley of Medicine Masters, so the Five Poison Sect could not enter easily. However, they were blocking the entrance, and a few disciples who were leaving the valley happened to run into them.

By the time Li Mao rushed over, a few disciples were lying on the ground with ashen faces. They were obviously poisoned, and the other disciples quickly helped them up.

!!
“Junior Brother Li, Junior Brother Zhao, are you alright?”

“You Five Poison Sect are really too much. Do you really think that our Valley of Medicine Masters is an easy target to bully?”

The people of the Valley of Medicine Masters were indignant. In recent years, the Five Poison Sect had become more and more arrogant. With the expansion of their territory, the friction between them and the Valley of Medicine Masters was not minor. After all, one specialized in medicine and refining, while the other specialized in poison. It would be strange if the two sides could come to an agreement.

Moreover, the people of the Five Poison Sect were vicious and ruthless, and the Valley of Medicine Masters did not like their style. Similarly, the Five Poison Sect wanted to deal with someone, but in the end, their targets were saved by the people of the Valley of Medicine Masters. Just like that, a grudge was formed between the two sects.

However, this was the first time the Five Poison Sect had come knocking on the Valley of Medicine Masters’ door.

Ye Xuan felt a vicious gaze on him. He looked up and saw that it was the blind Zhou Sheng. He had a black eye mask on his left eye and was looking at him with a dark expression.

“Father! He’s the one who blinded me, you have to help me exact revenge.”

After Zhou Sheng finished speaking, a middle-aged man also looked over. Compared to the others, the purple-gold clothing on his body was of a higher quality. Even the patterns on it were lifelike. He looked fierce and not to be trifled with at all costs.

“So you’re the one who hurt my son!”

His voice was like a great bell, his tone seemed to be tempered with poison, and his gaze was extremely uncomfortable. The people of the Valley of Medicine Masters could not help but feel their hearts tighten.

Zhou Sheng’s status in the Five Poison Sect was indeed not low. He was actually the son of the great elder, Zhou Hong. Ye Xuan’s attack had been extremely heavy, and Zhou Sheng’s eyes had been seriously injured. By the time Zhou Sheng returned, it was too late to treat them.

The Five Poison Sect was good at using poison. It would be a little difficult for them to treat illnesses and injuries unless it was someone from the Valley of Medicine Masters. However, it was too late for them to catch a person from the Valley of Medicine Masters at that time. Thus, Zhou Sheng’s eyes were blinded.

It was difficult for Zhou Hong to have a son. He only had one son and he usually pampered his son endlessly. His son was practically the apple of his eye. Zhou Sheng was very strong and the Five Poison Sect was also notorious. Ordinary people did not dare to provoke Zhou Sheng, let alone deal with him.

Who would’ve thought that he’d run into Ye Xuan so coincidentally, and one of his eyes would be crippled in a single exchange?

For Zhou Sheng, it was naturally a great humiliation. He couldn’t wait to swallow Ye Xuan alive and immediately use Zhou Hong as a shield. After knowing that Ye Xuan was in the Valley of Medicine Masters, he came over in an aggressive manner to ask for him.

Ye Xuan met his gaze fearlessly and asked, “So what if it’s me?”

“Very good,” he said.

Zhou Hong squinted his eyes and smiled sinisterly. His gaze made one shiver. “Tell me, how do you want to die? Do you want my poison to gnaw on your skin and flesh, or do you want to experience the pain of having thousands of insects gnawing on your heart?”

He paused as if he was deep in thought. Then he continued, “Or I can skin you and break your bones, turn you into a lamp, and light you on my son’s bed. Then that would mean I’ll make the best use of you.”

Zhou Hong’s tone was calm, but the words he said were chilling.

The Valley of Medicine Masters knew that the Five Poison Sect was ruthless, but they had not expected them to be so cruel. Moreover, this was right in front of the entrance of the Valley of Medicine Masters. To say such words, wasn’t it a slap to their faces?

Although he was afraid of Zhou Hong’s aura, Li Mao could only force himself to say, “Great Elder, fellow Daoist Ye is our guest. You’re not respecting the Valley of Medicine Masters by saying this.”

Zhou Hong didn’t even spare Li Mao an extra glance. “Who do you think you are? A young kid like you is not fit to talk to me!”

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the black mist suddenly shot toward Li Mao. No one had expected that Zhou Hong would be so immoral and suddenly attack someone.

The buzzing sound of wings flapping came from the black mist. These insects were extremely small and hard to see with the naked eye. Even cultivators couldn’t detect them. They were carefully cultivated by Zhou Hong.

Li Mao’s pupils constricted, unable to react at all. The person in front of him was the grand elder of the Five Poison Sect. How could a mere disciple like him resist Zhou Hong?

The grim reaper was right in front of him, and it raised its scythe high. Li Mao could even feel the thick poison in the black mist. If it hit him, he would probably be crippled, if not dead.

Just as Ye Xuan was about to make a move, he seemed to have noticed something.

A horsetail whisk appeared in front of Li Mao and dispersed the black mist. “You are the grand elder of the Five Poison Sect. If you attack a junior, it won’t be good for your reputation.”

Li Mao’s heart was still beating with fear, and his back was already drenched in a cold sweat. “Thank you, Second Elder.”

Yao Tianchen and a few other elders walked over with cold expressions on their faces, “You’ve done well. Go to the side and take a rest.”

“The Five Poison Sect has such a grand formation. Do you perhaps want to start a war with the Valley of Medicine Masters?”

Zhou Hong had wanted to intimidate the Valley of Medicine Masters, but his attack had been blocked, and the black mist had retracted back into his sleeve.

“My son’s eyes were blinded by this brat. I’m only here to seek justice.”

Hearing this, the Valley of Medicine Masters disciple who had been ambushed in the forest could not help but refute, “You’re all slandering us! It was clearly Zhou Sheng who wanted to harm us, but in the end, he reaped what he sowed.”

Yao Tianchen and a few other elders also knew that Li Mao and the others had been attacked. They looked at the Five Poison Sect coldly and said, “We haven’t asked you for an explanation on this matter yet.”

Zhou Hong’s eyebrows twitched and his expression was dark. “You claimed that my son harmed you, but you’ve got to show evidence. Now that he’s blind in one eye, but you’re all alive and kicking.”

They have seen shameless people before, but they have never seen someone as shameless as him.
