371 A’tian’s Mishap

The information given by the jade pendant was very limited. He didn’t know if A’tian’s existence was discovered, so he interrupted the spell, or if there was something else. However, Ye Xuan was somewhat certain that the situation was very urgent at that time, and the enemy A’tian was facing was very powerful.

Otherwise, the enemy wouldn’t have been able to control A’tian in an instant, only allowing A’tian to leave behind a few words in a hurry.

“As expected, the Valley of Medicine Masters is also no longer safe.”

Ye Xuan’s mind worked quickly, and in just a moment, he had already deduced several pieces of information.

For A’tian to say such words, the enemy he was facing was definitely not from the outside world, but from within the Valley of Medicine Masters. There were not many people with such high cultivation, and there were only a few in the valley.

“Perhaps there are already people with ill intentions who have sneaked in.”

It seemed that he had made a wise decision not to take out the jade pendant in front of everyone. Otherwise, he might have alerted the enemy, or the person behind the scenes would have been afraid that the ploy would be exposed and might have directly killed Ye Xuan to silence him.

The defense mechanism of the jade pendant belonging to A’tian hadn’t been triggered. If A’tian died, that child pendant would also dissipate. Ye Xuan could also sense that there was no change in the mother pendant in his hands, which proved that A’tian life was not in danger for the time being. A’tian could be considered safe.

Ye Xuan cast a spell, and a transparent thread floated out of the jade pendant, pointing to the southeast.

He could locate the position of A’tian’s jade pendant by using the mother pendant. As long as the jade pendant was still on A’tian’s body, Ye Xuan could follow the thread to find him.

…

Five Poison Sect.

It was still the mysterious black-robed man who had appeared last time. He said coldly, “Great Elder, your recent actions have been too big. Those sects have become suspicious and have begun to track down the missing disciples.”

Zhou Hong’s expression was cold as he replied, “So what if they suspect us? We did everything cleanly and efficiently. Those sects won’t be able to trace it to us at all. Moreover, our ancestor is about to come out of seclusion. Our plan might even be brought forward. It’s always better to have more people in case of any danger.”

Seeing his stubbornness, the mysterious man couldn’t say anything.

“You’re on your own now. If someone else finds out and ruins our plan, the consequences will be something you can’t bear.”

After saying this, the mysterious man turned around and left.

Zhou Hong’s face turned gloomy at a speed visible to the naked eye after being lectured by him.

“Who do you think you are to be pointing fingers at me?”

His subordinates chimed in, “That’s right. He doesn’t even dare to show his true face. I wonder why the ancestor thinks so highly of him.”

This mysterious person had suddenly appeared half a year ago. Originally, in the Five Poison Sect, other than the ancestor, Zhou Hong’s status was the highest. However, ever since the mysterious man appeared, the ancestor had thought highly of him. Of course, the effect was also very obvious.

The expansion of the Five Poison Sect’s territory and the increase in its strength were all inextricably related to the mysterious man. Although Zhou Hong’s status was high, it was not as high as before. The ancestor was in seclusion, and it was difficult for even Zhou Hong to meet him. Only the mysterious man could enter and leave freely.

Zhou Hong was naturally unwilling to lose his power to someone who had come out of nowhere.

However, since the ancestor had given the order, Zhou Hong did not dare to disobey. On the surface, he was very respectful to the mysterious man, but he would only reveal some of his true feelings about the mysterious man in front of his confidants.

“Forget it. It’s not good to offend him now that our plan is about to succeed. However, this person is a little strange. Even I can’t see through his true motives.”

For Zhou Hong to be able to sit in this position, he was not a simple-minded person. He was still somewhat afraid of the mysterious man and did not dare to act rashly.

The subordinate revealed a fawning smile and said, “Oh right, there’s a message from the other side. They said that they’ve brought a person for you to vent your anger, Elder.”

Hearing this, Zhou Hong’s expression became a little better. When he rushed over, that person had been waiting for a long time. There was another person lying at his feet. It was A’tian, who had disappeared in the Valley of Medicine Masters. Zhou Hong suddenly became a little disinterested.

“Why did you bring him here?”

“He saw me when I was drugging Ye Xuan’s medication. I wanted to kill him, but I thought it would make a big deal, so I brought him here.”

Zhou Hong still couldn’t hold back. Although he had been warned not to act rashly and cause trouble at the Valley of Medicine Masters, he knew that Ye Xuan was here to find a doctor and wanted to poison him. After all, he was also one of the murderers and had also blinded Zhou Sheng.

As for Li Mao and the others, he could deal with them in the future.

“Why can’t you even do such a small thing? What’s the use of bringing a servant? If it was Li Mao or some other disciple of the Valley of Medicine Masters, it would have been better.”

“He has a good relationship with Ye Xuan, and Ye Xuan has taken good care of him. In order to find him, the Valley of Medicine Masters was alerted, and it took me a lot of effort to get him out.”

Zhou Hong sized up A’tian, and his expression gradually became ruthless.

“It’s not a bad idea to transform him and torture Ye Xuan in the future, but you’re too careless this time. You’ve alerted the Valley of Medicine Masters at this time. No one else found out right?”

“Don’t worry, no one else was paying attention.”

The face and voice of the person who was talking to Zhou Hong were unfamiliar. There was no such person in the Valley of Medicine Masters. He must have disguised himself and this was not his true appearance.

A’tian had seen this person poisoning Ye Xuan, and perhaps he had even seen this person’s true face, which was why he had left that message of caution to Ye Xuan through the jade pendant.

The two people who were talking did not notice the flash of light on A’tian’s jade pendant.

The mother-child jade pendant was a supreme-grade magic weapon, and its defense was even more indestructible. It was very difficult for ordinary people to see it, so they didn’t know how it worked. Otherwise, they would have thrown the jade pendant away as soon as possible when they discovered it.

On the other side, following the guidance of the mother jade pendant, Ye Xuan had already arrived near the Lingnan mountain range. The guidance slowly dissipated here.

The forest in the dark looked very terrifying. Night crows cawed on the branches.

Just by approaching, he could already smell a fishy smell and miasma that was almost solid. Ye Xuan quickly took an antidote to prevent himself from inhaling too much miasma. His gaze fell in the direction in front of him.

“If I’m not mistaken, the Five Poison Sect is just right ahead.”
