364 Who Is My Father?
Ye Xuan and Li Mao came to an agreement, resulting in the current situation.
After Zhou Sheng swallowed the pill, the pain in his right eye decreased a lot. However, his vision was still a little blurry. If he were to go blind in both eyes, he would probably go crazy.
“You’re really bold. I’ll definitely not let you off this time.”
With the new and old grudges added together, Zhou Sheng’s mind was already filled with ten thousand ways Ye Xuan could die.
“Do you think you can escape? Whether it’s you or those people from before, I’ll catch them and dismember them into a thousand pieces. I want you to see with your own eyes how they die so tragically, and then it’ll be your turn.”
Ye Xuan looked at the people from the Five Poison Sect calmly, without the slightest embarrassment of being in trouble. He raised his eyebrows and said, “Is that so?”
Back then, Zhou Sheng was no match for Ye Xuan, but now he had brought many strong people from the Five Poison Sect with him. No matter how powerful Ye Xuan was, it would be difficult for him to fight against so many people.
The people of the Five Poison Sect had unkind expressions as they surrounded Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan’s eyes lit up, and he couldn’t help but sigh, “It seems like you haven’t learned your lesson.”
He was obviously alone, but he had the aura of an army of thousands as if Zhou Sheng and the others were the unlucky ones.
On the other side, Li Mao led the other disciples of the Valley of Medicine Masters to escape. This was previously discussed with Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan was responsible for holding back the people of the Five Poison Sect so that they could buy time for their escape.
Li Mao suddenly stopped in his tracks.
“Senior Brother Li, why aren’t you running?” the other disciples asked anxiously, “What if those people from the Five Poison Sect catch up?”
If they were to fall into the hands of those deranged people this time, these disciples could not help but shiver when they recalled what had happened a few days ago.
“You guys hurry back to the Valley of Medicine Masters. I’m going to go back. I can’t leave fellow Daoist Ye there alone.”
Li Mao clenched his fists. He actually wanted to go back and save Ye Xuan!
Although Ye Xuan had said before that he could deal with the people of the Five Poison Sect, how could he deal with so many masters?
Everyone was shocked. “How can that work? It’s too dangerous for you to go back. Why don’t we go back to the Valley of Medicine Masters to get help first?”
They knew Li Mao’s strength, and there were so many people in the Five Poison Sect. If he went back, the possibility of his survival was not high.
“You guys don’t have to persuade me anymore. Fellow Daoist Ye risked his life for us. If anything happens to him, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life.”
Seeing the determination in his eyes, they knew that Li Mao had already made up his mind. He was so resolute that nothing could change his mind. Everyone knew his character and it was not good to persuade him.
“Be careful, Senior Brother Li.”
After saying this, the other people’s staggering figures disappeared into the night.
Although their lives were not in danger, they were tortured for the past few days. Coupled with their injuries, they did not have much combat power. It was useless to stay here, and they might even be a burden. It was better to go back to the Valley of Medicine Masters to seek help.
When Li Mao returned this time, he had already made preparations for a fierce battle.
“There are more than a dozen people from the Five Poison Sect, and they are all around the sky rank. There are even some that I can’t even see the depth of their cultivation. They are probably even stronger than the rest. Fellow Daoist Ye and I definitely can’t deal with them… I hope we can hold them back until reinforcements arrive…”
If it really didn’t work, he would risk his life to fight for a chance of survival. He couldn’t drag Ye Xuan down no matter what.
After Li Mao carefully approached, it was quiet in front of him. He had wanted to take advantage of Ye Xuan’s fight with the Five Poison Sect people to quietly hold Zhou Sheng hostage and make the other Five Poison Sect people hesitate to attack.
It was a little strange that it was so quiet now. Could it be that they had already moved to another place, or…
Li Mao’s heart thumped as he prepared for the worst scenario. Ye Xuan might have fallen into their hands and had already been brought back to their base camp. He couldn’t help but speed up his pace. After seeing the scene in front of him clearly, he was stunned.
The ground here indicated that a great battle had taken place here.
The people from the Five Poison Sect were sprawled on the ground, and it was unknown if they were still breathing. Zhou Sheng’s fate wasn’t any better. He spat out blood and glared at Ye Xuan fiercely.
Zhou Sheng’s eyes were filled with poison as he spat, “Ye Xuan, you’ll die a horrible death. If my father was here, he would skin you alive.”
Ye Xuan kicked him and said, “So you know that you’re not as good as him. You’re really useless. You only know how to cry and go back to your father after being beaten. Do you think you’re a three-year-old child?”
Hearing this, Zhou Sheng spat out another mouthful of blood.
Ye Xuan was surprised to see Li Mao. He asked, “What are you doing here?”
This scene was completely different from what Li Mao had imagined. There was no such thing as a fierce battle or Ye Xuan being heavily injured.
The people of the Five Poison Sect were either dead or injured. In contrast, Ye Xuan’s hair was not even messy, and he stood in place, unscathed.
How high was this person’s combat strength? How did he finish in such a short time? Li Mao and the others had only left for about an incense time.
Many questions popped up in Li Mao’s head, and he felt dizzy. Ye Xuan’s strength was probably almost on par with the elders of the Valley of Medicine Masters, or perhaps even stronger than them.
However, he looked so young, only in his twenties. How could he have such high cultivation?
“Then, then how should we deal with them now?”
Looking at Zhou Sheng, who was lying on the ground, Ye Xuan smiled so widely that his white teeth were exposed. He replied, “We’ll naturally deal with him the way he wanted to deal with us.”
Ye Xuan wasn’t the kind of person who would let an enemy run back to their base. A person like Zhou Sheng had to be exterminated at the roots. Otherwise, who knew what kind of trouble he would cause next time?
Zhou Sheng’s eyes were fierce. “How dare you! My father is the grand elder of the Five Poison Sect. If you kill me, all of you will be buried with me.”
