357 The Confrontation Between the Two Sides
The faces of the people of the Valley of Medicine Masters were extremely ugly. The Five Poison Sect’s ability to twist right from wrong was really amazing. They were clearly the ones who had attacked first, and now they were actually talking so shamelessly.
The poison in Li Mao and the others had long been removed by Ye Xuan, and the wounds on their bodies had almost recovered. Where would they get the evidence from?
Zhou Hong laughed sinisterly and pointed his finger at Ye Xuan. He said, “Since you can’t produce any evidence, then hand him over! I’ll reluctantly let this matter go.”
Putting aside the fact that Ye Xuan was a guest of the Valley of Medicine Masters, just based on the fact that he had saved Li Mao and the others, Yao Tianchen wouldn’t hand him over to the Five Poison Sect. Moreover, the relationship between the two sects was not good to begin with, and the Five Poison Sect also wanted to make a big deal out of this and cause trouble for the Valley of Medicine Masters.
“What if I don’t hand him over?” Yao Tianchen’s face turned cold.
“Does the valley master really want to make an enemy out of our Five Poison Sect? In this matter, the Valley of Medicine Masters is in the wrong. I only have this one son, and now that he is blind in one eye, why can’t I seek justice for my son?”
Li Mao and the others were so angry by Zhou Sheng’s words that they were speechless.
“Pa, pa, pa-”
The crisp sound of applause attracted everyone’s attention. Everyone looked over and saw that it was Ye Xuan.
“Elder Zhou’s words are really embarrassing. Your son’s skills are not as good as his opponent’s. He couldn’t win even with a sneak attack, so he got his father to come and support him. To think that the people of the Five Poison Sect are all so thick-skinned.”
“I’ve finally seen what it means to truly confuse right and wrong. Elder Zhou’s eloquence is so good that even the dead can be angered to life.”
Ye Xuan spoke in a strange tone, not showing Zhou Hong and the others any respect at all. He said what many disciples of the Valley of Medicine Masters wanted to say but did not dare to.
For a moment, the faces of the Five Poison Sect members turned green and white, like a color palette changing and becoming more and more colorful.
“You!”
Zhou Sheng glared at Ye Xuan fiercely. He felt his blind eyes start to hurt again, and he wanted to skin Ye Xuan alive.
The people of the Five Poison Sect were used to being arrogant and domineering, so how could they be humiliated like this?
“My son would never do such a thing. He just wanted to have a friendly match with you, but you were so ruthless. And now, the Valley of Medicine Masters is still trying to protect you. You’ve all gone too far.”
Ye Xuan looked surprised. “Isn’t it because your young master lost and flew into a rage out of humiliation? You guys can even turn black into white. I think the Five Poison Sect should just change its name to the Thick-Skinned Sect.”
“Pfft…”
It was not known who laughed out loud, but the disciples of the Valley of Medicine Masters lowered their heads one after another. However, due to the inappropriate occasion, they could only hold back their laughter and not shake their shoulders. They were clearly having a hard time holding it in.
“You’re courting death!”
Zhou Hong flew into a rage out of humiliation and wanted to make a move, but he was stopped by Yao Tianchen.
“Elder Zhou, it’s better for you to restrain yourself. This is the Valley of Medicine Masters, not your Five Poison Sect territory.”
Zhou Hong looked at everyone eerily, “It seems like you guys are determined to keep this kid and not hand him over. ”
Yao Tianchen nodded, “Of course, Junior Ye is our guest and he saved our disciples ‘lives. There’s no reason to hand him over to you.”
Zhou Hong didn’t expect Yao Tianchen to protect Ye Xuan so much. He knew that they had wasted a trip and couldn’t take Ye Xuan away.
“The Valley of Medicine Masters sure is good. Just you wait, our Five Poison Sect will never let this matter rest!”
After leaving behind these harsh words, Zhou Hong and the others left in a grandiose manner. Before leaving, Zhou Sheng did not forget to turn his head back to take a look. Only the light in his eyes flickered, like a venomous snake hissing its tongue, making people shiver.
This time, it could be said that the Valley of Medicine Masters and the Five Poison Sect were on completely bad terms. Although the two sects were about the same size, in terms of strength, the Five Poison Sect might be a little stronger.
After all, the people of Valley of Medicine Masters specialized in spiritual plants and elixirs and did not pay much attention to cultivation. Among them, the one with the highest cultivation was Yao Tianchen and a few elders, whose cultivation was at the peak of the sun rank.
The Five Poison Sect was different. Their poison techniques were mysterious and unpredictable, and they even extended all kinds of poison formations and poison techniques. Even the Valley of Medicine Masters would have a difficult time facing them head-on, not to mention that they had the Five Poison Sect elder to keep watch.
Yao Tianchen sighed, “Pass down the order. Don’t let the people in the valley go out for the time being. Tell the disciples who are traveling to come back as soon as possible. They must be careful of the Five Poison Sect.”
Last time, Li Mao and the others were lucky enough to be saved by Ye Xuan. If the other disciples encountered the Five Poison Sect, they would probably end up dead.
Ye Xuan felt a little guilty. No matter what, Zhou Hong came for him. “Have I implicated you?” he asked.
“This isn’t your fault. You don’t have to take the blame.” Yao Tianchen shook his head with a worried expression. Even though he didn’t care about worldly affairs, he wasn’t completely clueless about the situation outside.
“The relationship between the Five Poison Sect and the Valley of Medicine Masters has always been tense. As their power has expanded in recent years, their ambitions have also continued to rise. They have long wanted to lay their hands on our Valley of Medicine Masters.”
The Valley of Medicine Masters was able to restrain the Five Poison Sect, and from their standpoint, the two sides were destined to stand on opposite sides. Moreover, the sect master of the Five Poison Sect was not satisfied with the status quo and had been secretly making small moves.
In the eyes of the Five Poison Sect, the Valley of Medicine Masters was a big piece of fat meat, and they had to take a bite of it no matter what. Previously, the Five Poison Sect had suppressed their thoughts on this, but recently, they could be said to be restless.
This matter only gave the Five Poison Sect a reason to make a fuss. Even without Ye Xuan, the Five Poison Sect would probably use other matters to make a big deal out of it.
“It looks like we have to make plans early. The Five Poison Sect is full of wild ambitions. I’m afraid they won’t stop until they achieve their goal.”
A guilty expression appeared on Li Mao’s face. “At the end of the day, I was the one who implicated fellow Daoist Ye in this matter. If it weren’t for you trying to save us, you wouldn’t have gotten involved with the Five Poison Sect.”
Zhou Hong was now keeping a close eye on Ye Xuan, partly because of the Valley of Medicine Masters, and partly because he wanted to avenge his precious son. If Ye Xuan left the Valley of Medicine Masters, he would definitely be targeted by the Five Poison Sect.
