383 Bow and Submit
“Actually, it’s not a big deal.” The Five Poison Sect’s ancestor put down his wine cup nonchalantly and said, “From now on, the Five Poison Sect will be the number one sect, and all the other sects will have to submit to me.”
This sentence was like a drop of water into a pot of oil, and it instantly exploded, giving everyone a big shock.
“What do you mean by that, Five Poison Sect’s ancestor? We are a great sect, so how can we submit to others? You must be joking.”
Although many of the sects present were afraid of the power of the Five Poison Sect, it did not mean that they were truly afraid. It was simply impossible for them to bow their heads and submit to the Five Poison Sect willingly.
“Has the Five Poison Sect’s ancestor gone mad? How dare he say something like that? What an arrogant tone. Isn’t he afraid that we’ll drown him with our spittle?”
“What did the Five Poison Sect do to make such a bold statement?”
There were not many who agreed, but a few small sects did not dare to voice their opinions due to the Five Poison Sect’s ancestor’s authority.
“Does everyone think I’m joking?”
The Five Poison Sect’s ancestor looked at the crowd. Although he was still smiling, his expression was rather sinister. I’m just informing all of you, not discussing it with all of you.”
Everyone whispered to each other, “No wonder the Five Poison Sect gathered us here. It turns out that they have this idea. They want to be the number one sect. I think they are dreaming.”
The people of the Valley of Medicine Masters also felt that the Five Poison Sect was indulging in their fantasies. The Valley of Medicine Masters had long known that they had ambitions, but they had not expected them to be so great.
Someone stood out immediately. It was Sect Master Zhao of the Wind Thunder Pavilion. He said indignantly, “Five Poison Sect’s ancestor, your words show that you have no respect for us. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have bothered to attend your birthday.”
With that, he led his disciples and prepared to leave.
The Wind Thunder Pavilion had been around for hundreds of years and was once very powerful. However, the younger generation was a mix of good and bad, and they gradually fell into decline. No one else had ever led the sect back to its former glory.
However, it was undeniable that their reputation and strength were not bad. After all, they had a solid foundation here. No wonder Sect Master Zhao was the first to stand up and object when everyone was watching.
“Wait a moment.”
Everyone only saw a shadow flash past their eyes. The Five Poison Sect’s ancestor, who had been at the head of the table, had somehow arrived in front of Sect Master Zhao and inadvertently brushed past his chest. His speed was so fast that it was impossible to see his movements clearly.
Looking at the old man in front of him, he didn’t know if it was a psychological effect, but he felt a chill all over his body. If Sect Master Zhao pulled open his collar at this time, he would find a few dark fingerprints on his chest, which gave people a great sense of oppression.
Sect Master Zhao opened his mouth, about to say something, but the Five Poison Sect’s ancestor flashed him a sinister smile. “Don’t be in such a hurry to leave. If you all leave, how can I continue with the banquet?”
Sect Master Zhao subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but it was already too late. A sharp pain came from his chest as if a pair of invisible hands were ruthlessly gripping his heart.
“You…”
Sect Master Zhao had just opened his mouth when he realized that the disciples and elders around him were looking at him with terrified eyes as if they had seen a ghost.
He was a little confused. Cold liquid dripped down from his face. He reached out and touched it. The black blood came into view. It even had a fishy smell. His eyes almost popped out.
“Sect Master, are you alright?!”
The people around him quickly surrounded him, and the sound of violent coughing filled the sky as if he was about to cough out his internal organs.
Sect Master Zhao’s face lost all its ruddy color at a speed visible to the naked eye. All the essence, energy, and spirit in his body had been devoured clean, and even his spiritual power was decreasing rapidly.
The sudden change frightened the Wind Thunder Pavilion’s disciples. Even if the elders were to transfer spiritual energy to him, they could not stop the decline of Sect Master Zhao’s body.
In just a few moments, Sect Master Zhao, who was previously full of energy and vigor, had already fallen to the ground with a pale face. His body was still twitching.
“Valley Master Yao, please help us.”
The people of the Wind Thunder Pavilion couldn’t be bothered to find trouble with the Five Poison Sect, and hurriedly sought help from the Valley of Medicine Masters. After all, among all the sects present, only they had the best medical skills.
The people of the Valley of Medicine Masters hurried forward to check on the situation. Yao Tianchen sealed Sect Master Zhao’s spirit point in time, hoping to stop the spread of the poison. His brows were tightly furrowed. From his pulse, there were many kinds of poisons in Sect Master Zhao’s body, attacking his meridians and blood.
These poisons were extremely overpowering and came from the same source as the Five Poison Sect’s ancestor’s poison techniques. Even Yao Tianchen found them rather troublesome. Even if he were to feed Sect Master Zhao the antidote, his situation would not be much better.
“Is our Sect Master alright?”
Yao Tianchen shook his head with great difficulty in the face of the questions from the Wind Thunder Pavilion.
“What did you do to our sect leader?!”
The Wind Thunder Pavilion members were furious as they questioned the Five Poison Sect’s ancestor.
“What could I have done to him? I only taught him a small lesson.”
Sect Master Zhao almost lost half of his life in this attack.
The Five Poison Sect’s ancestor was sinister and ruthless. He had peeled off the fake mask and revealed his true nature. At this moment, he looked like a venomous snake in the dark, in danger of erupting and hurting people at any time.
“Sect Master Zhao can’t make it.”
“Sect Master Zhao!” Someone cried out in shock. Sect Master Zhao, who had fallen to the ground, was no longer breathing. Even Yao Tianchen shook his head, indicating that there was nothing he could do. “I’m sorry, I’ve already tried my best.”
It happened so suddenly that he was caught off guard. Otherwise, he should have been able to save Sect Master Zhao.
Everyone’s expression changed. Injuring and killing people were two completely different things. The latter was too vile.
There were so many of them at the scene, yet the Five Poison Sect’s ancestor had taken Sect Master Zhao’s life with a single move. He was simply arrogant to the extreme, and it was clear how high his cultivation was.
