372 The Ambitions of the Five Poison Sect

The surroundings at night were eerie and terrifying. Coupled with the strange and twisted plants and vines, it was like a giant beast in the dark, opening its bloody mouth and lying dormant.

As Ye Xuan had guessed, there were already people with ulterior motives in the Valley of Medicine Masters, and they were mixed in with the people of the Five Poison Sect. It seemed that their relationship was not deep.

“Could it be a higher-up of the Valley of Medicine Masters?”

To be able to take A’tian out of the Valley of Medicine Masters without alerting anyone… An ordinary disciple would definitely not be able to do it, but it could not be ruled out that someone had impersonated a disciple to fish in troubled waters.

!!
“No matter what, it seems that I have to make a trip to the Five Poison Sect.”

Ye Xuan didn’t dare to let his guard down. He concealed his aura and continued to move forward under the cover of the night. His figure was like a ghost, and even the owl on the tree didn’t notice him.

Probably because of the miasma’s cover, there weren’t many disciples on patrol, so Ye Xuan didn’t attract anyone’s attention.

After all, no one would have thought that someone would be so bold as to barge into the base camp of the Five Poison Sect alone.

Ye Xuan walked around and found nothing special except for two places that attracted attention. One was in the northwest, which exuded a powerful pressure.

It was said that the Five Poison Sect’s ancestor was a powerful figure and was currently in seclusion. That must be where he was.

“I don’t know how strong the Five Poison Sect’s ancestor is. In order to prevent myself from being discovered, I should avoid him.”

Although Ye Xuan was confident in his strength and had a breath-concealing supreme-grade magic weapon on him, he had to be careful.

If A’tian had really been captured by the Five Poison Sect, he was not someone important enough to be brought to the Five Poison Sect’s ancestor, so this place could be ruled out.

That left the southeast direction. There was no powerful aura coming from there. It was extremely ordinary and looked no different from the surroundings.

Ye Xuan felt that it was a little strange, but he couldn’t put his finger on it. There were very few disciples around, and compared to other places, there was almost no one there.

There must be something wrong with this abnormal situation.

Ye Xuan’s ears twitched. He heard footsteps not far away. He quickly hid. A few Five Poison Sect disciples were approaching.

“I heard that the screams are getting more and more frequent. I wonder what the elders are doing.”

The other disciple quickly made a shushing gesture and looked around nervously. “Shush, lower your voice. That’s a forbidden area. The elders won’t allow us to go there.”

“Of course, I know. I just happened to overhear it once. I also saw the great elder and the others bring in a few disciples from other sects.”

“Alright, don’t say anymore. If the elders hear this, we won’t be able to keep our insignificant lives. I already said that this matter can’t be casually discussed. Do you want to die?”

“I’m just curious. Why are they being so mysterious?”

“Curiosity killed the cat, you know…”

The disciples’ voices became softer and softer. Their words were taboo about this matter, but they revealed a lot of information.

Ye Xuan only revealed himself after watching them walk away. He didn’t expect to find out from their conversation that the missing disciples of other sects were related to the Five Poison Sect!

Ye Xuan smelled a conspiracy. Why did the Five Poison Sect capture these disciples?

Even if the Five Poison Sect was powerful and unafraid of the other sects, if this matter was exposed and the other sects joined forces, the Five Poison Sect would definitely be in serious trouble.

Ye Xuan couldn’t figure out what it was that made them take such a risk, even disregarding the possibility of being besieged. He might have to go there to find out.

And he had a feeling that A’tian might also be there.

This was the forbidden area of the Five Poison Sect. A stone tablet was like a giant beast lurking in the night sky, and a few blood-red words were written on it.

“Trespassers will be killed!”

The blood Qi within it was almost about to shoot straight into the sky.

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but frown. This wasn’t written using cinnabar at all but with human blood. Moreover, the human must have been tortured before dying for the blood Qi to be so resentful.

“As expected, the Five Poison Sect is not a good sect.”

He ignored the words and stepped in.

On the surface, it looked ordinary, but inside, it was a whole different world. It was filled with a light green fog, and if one did not look carefully, it was difficult to notice that the surroundings were filled with poison.

These toxins were extremely corrosive, and even the walls were full of potholes. No wonder there was no one nearby, and ordinary disciples did not dare to step in easily, because even the air here contained toxins.

The green fog seemed to be everywhere, so much so that even the flames on the walls used for illumination were dyed a faint green, like the will-o’- the-wisps of the netherworld, making people feel a little uncomfortable.

A strange smell hit Ye Xuan’s nose, making him feel a little nauseated. Hearing movement not far away, he resisted the urge to vomit and walked over.

A few disciples were walking through the green fog. From their clothing, their status was higher than the disciples he had seen outside. They should be the core disciples of the Five Poison Sect.

“Recently, the number of people that great elder has brought is increasing. I’m worried that it will attract the attention of the other sects.”

“Aren’t you worrying for nothing? When our ancestor’s divine power is fully mastered, even if those sects know about it, what can they do? Alright, let’s not talk so much and get to work quickly.”

The sound of footsteps could be heard, and a few disciples said respectfully, “Greetings, Great Elder. May I know what instructions do you have for us, Great Elder?”

“Take this person with you. You must refine and make the best out of him.”

Ye Xuan’s ears perked up slightly, and he looked a little confused.

Refine? What did that mean?

The strange term gave Ye Xuan a bad feeling.
