373 Without Entering The Tiger’s Den, How Can You Get The Tiger Cub?
The disciple was extremely respectful and said in a flattering manner, “You can just leave this small matter to us. There’s no need for you to personally make a trip here, Grand Elder.”
It was obvious that Zhou Hong had been accumulating power for a long time. These people didn’t even dare to look up. “How’s the batch that was refined earlier?”
“Most of them have succeeded. There are only a few failed products.”
“You must be careful. At this critical juncture, we can’t make any mistakes. The ancestor is about to come out of seclusion. If we aren’t ready, he will blame us. You know the ancestor’s methods…”
Before Zhou Hong finished his sentence, he had only glanced at the disciples, but their bodies trembled imperceptibly, and even their tone became a little nervous.
“Don’t worry, Great Elder! There won’t be any accidents.”
‘Refined’, ‘Failed product’… All these keywords added together didn’t sound like anything good. Ye Xuan, who was hiding in the dark, frowned even more.
What was Five Poison Sect trying to do behind everyone’s back?
Previously, Zhou Hong had blocked Ye Xuan’s view, so he had not been able to see clearly what the person he had brought over looked like. As these people left, in a flash, Ye Xuan finally saw clearly that the person that was brought over was A’tian.
A’tian’s face was pale and his lips were blue. He must have been poisoned. If not for the slight rise and fall of his chest, he would have looked no different from a dead man.
Although his life wasn’t in danger for the time being, the situation was very bad. Ye Xuan finally knew why the defense mechanism wasn’t triggered. The jade pendant could only block the attack of a peak sky rank master.
The person from the Valley of Medicine Masters who had attacked A’tian had used poison, which was not within the scope of the jade pendant’s judgment. The poison had taken effect so badly that A’tian could not resist it, so he had only managed to leave behind a few words of caution to Ye Xuan.
It was almost as he had guessed at the beginning. There was someone in the valley who was working with the Five Poison Sect from the inside, and that person had a high status. Otherwise, he would not have been able to bring the person out without anyone knowing, and even managed to send him to the Five Poison Sect.
It was the right choice to not alert the enemy.
Zhou Hong and the other disciples continued to move forward, not noticing that someone was following them.
Ye Xuan continued to go deeper, and the green fog became thicker and thicker. The concentration of poison here had reached a terrifying level, and even sky-rank powerhouses wouldn’t dare to enter and leave at will.
These people must have taken the antidote in advance, so Ye Xuan was not flustered at all. He had taken the system’s detoxification pill in advance, so he did not feel any discomfort.
“Elder, look at this. This is the first batch. It’s already fully mature. We just need to wait for the ancestor’s order. It’s only a matter of time before we destroy those sects.”
The green fog was so thick that it blocked Ye Xuan’s vision. He couldn’t see the scene in front of him clearly, only blurry figures. He could vaguely hear the conversation between the great elder and the disciple.
Ye Xuan wanted to get closer, but he was worried that getting too close would attract Zhou Hong’s attention.
However, how could he succeed without taking risks?
He advanced cautiously, like an elusive shadow. Although the current distance was a little dangerous, he could at least see a little more clearly. If anything happened, he could retreat at the first moment.
Ye Xuan wanted to see what these people were up to.
Even Ye Xuan, who had experienced many storms, was stunned for a moment after seeing the scene in front of him clearly.
Dozens of tall figures stood in front. Their muscles were bulging like small mountains. Their eyes were closed, their faces were pale, and their nails were long and black.
These people were not wearing any clothes, and their exposed skin was covered with ferocious poisonous creatures. They were densely packed and looked very frightening. These totems seemed to have a life of their own, and they actually gave people a feeling that they were about to come to life. They were truly extremely evil.
Their faces looked like that of the dead, and Ye Xuan didn’t know if they were still alive. After looking at them for a long time, he felt a little uncomfortable and couldn’t help but look away.
Zhou Hong and the others were deranged. The light in their eyes was like they were admiring a piece of art, and they smiled with satisfaction.
“Not bad, you’ve all done well. When the time comes, I’ll report back to the ancestor and reward all of you accordingly.”
The disciples were overjoyed when they heard this.
“Although the second batch still needs a little more time to mature, they should be able to mature in a few days.”
“There are also the disciples that the great elder has captured recently. Although they have only been captured recently, their cultivation is high, so the effect is not bad.”
Zhou Hong couldn’t help but show a proud expression. “Of course. Previously, I was afraid of attracting the attention of those sects, so most of the people I caught were outer sect disciples or low-level itinerant cultivators. Recently, these are all inner sect disciples, so naturally, those low-level cultivators can’t be compared to them.”
“From this, it can be seen that the higher the strength, the better the effect of the refining.”
When the others heard this, they immediately complimented him. “Great Elder has very good foresight.”
“So what if those sects are suspicious and want to investigate? Our ancestor is about to come out of seclusion, and our plan is about to be implemented. Who would dare to find trouble with us when the time comes?”
Zhou Hong was even more proud of himself as if he could already see himself achieving great merits and being praised by the ancestor.
“These poison men are extremely powerful. Any part of their body is filled with deadly poison and the power they can exert is several times that of the original. They are not afraid of pain and can be said to be undying warriors.”
“With these, our Five Poison Sect is like a tiger that has grown wings. No one is our match. Those other sects will definitely bow down to us.”
Ye Xuan’s dark eyes flashed sharply. These people from the Five Poison Sect were simply insane. He didn’t expect them to be so ambitious.
This area should be the core of the green poisonous fog. There were many people like this as far as his eyes could see. Ye Xuan roughly counted that there were nearly a hundred of them. There might be similar existences in some unknown corner.
This number was really shocking. It seemed that all the missing disciples of those sects had been captured by the Five Poison Sect and were made into poison men. No wonder they were nowhere to be found.
