384 A Conspiracy Is Revealed
Sect Master Zhao was at the peak of the sky rank. However, the Five Poison Sect’s ancestor could easily take his life without anyone noticing and no one could react in time. That was enough to show the Five Poison Sect’s ancestor cultivation. No wonder he was so arrogant. He did have the capability to behave like that.
“There’s no other way, who asked him to go against me?”
With the Five Poison Sect’s ancestor’s bold and righteous attitude, several elders and disciples of the Wind Thunder Pavilion almost wanted to fight him to the death, but they were stopped by the people of the Valley of Medicine Masters.
Yao Tianchen and Sect Master Zhao had been in contact on a daily basis. Seeing that he had been killed, Yao Tianchen was furious. However, the fact that the Five Poison Sect’s ancestor dared to do this in front of so many people proved that he definitely had a trump card. For some reason, Yao Tianchen felt a little uneasy.
“Don’t be rash. Even if you go now, you won’t be a match for the Five Poison Sect’s ancestor. You’ll only be adding to the casualties.”
The furious Wind Thunder Pavilion did not listen to him at all. Their sect master had even died. If they were to swallow their anger and the news spread, they would probably be laughed at by everyone in the future.
“Valley Master Yao, you may be afraid, but I’m not. There are so many of us here, why should we be afraid of them? The Five Poison Sect bullied our Wind Thunder Pavilion, we must take revenge!”
“You guys are too noisy.”
The Five Poison Sect’s ancestor looked at them as if he was looking at dead people. Black smoke emerged from his palm and wrapped around the Wind Thunder Pavilion’s people. In an instant, screams rose and fell.
Those disciples’ faces became twisted and blue veins appeared on their faces. Black blood flowed out of their eyes and ears. Just like Sect Master Zhao, they all fell to the ground.
A huge, bloody hole had appeared on their chests at some point in time, and they could faintly hear a rustling sound. It was as if something was crawling around and gnawing at their internal organs.
A moment later, the creature’s ferocious mouthpart emerged, and one could even see its sharp teeth. Its body was segmented and covered with colorful patterns. It was actually a hundred-legged centipede.
Everyone couldn’t help but feel a little cold at the scene in front of them. Some of them even started to retch.
The people who had been filled with righteous indignation earlier had all fallen to the ground. They were all dead. Their deaths were very tragic, and it was inevitable that people would be frightened.
Yao Tianchen could not help but criticize, “You guys are too much!”
The Wind Thunder Pavilion was utterly annihilated. There were more than a dozen lives, including Sect Master Zhao. Not a single one was left alive.
The others were extremely vigilant. The disciples of the Five Poison Sect had already surrounded them, glaring at them like tigers watching their prey. The atmosphere suddenly became stiff and was filled with tension, as though a fight might break out at any time.
“Five Poison Sect’s ancestor, are you really going to make all of us your enemies?”
The Five Poison Sect’s ancestor’s expression was contemptuous. He replied, “You’re the ones who want to be my enemy!”
“The Five Poison Sect is too arrogant. You have the ambition of a wolf and you’re like a malignant tumor. If your sect is allowed to live, you will definitely bring disaster to the cultivation world. Today, we shall uphold justice!”
As soon as these words came out, many people echoed. The Five Poison Sect killed one sect as an example to everyone else. This time, it was the Wind Thunder Pavilion’s turn. Perhaps it would be their turn soon. How could the remaining people sit by and do nothing?
“So what if the Five Poison Sect’s ancestor is powerful? He’s the only powerful one. Can’t we deal with him?”
“That’s right. There are so many of us. Can the Five Poison Sect still control all of us?”
“You treat human lives like grass, what do you want? Are we going to kill all those who oppose you?”
“That’s a good idea,” the Five Poison Sect’s ancestor said, revealing his white teeth.
The sinister expression on his face sent chills down everyone’s spine. The Five Poison Sect’s ancestor did not seem to be joking.
This sentence angered the people from the other sects.
“Even if you’re powerful, and this is your territory, don’t forget that there are so many experts here. Do you think they can’t deal with you?”
Whether it was the Five Poison Sect or the Five Poison Sect’s ancestor, they both had indifferent expressions, not taking their threats seriously.
“Then you guys can give it a try.”
The two sides immediately drew their swords and daggers, and a great battle was about to break out.
Seeing that the Five Poison Sect was so fearless, the people of the Valley of Medicine Masters felt that there was something unusual about it. Everyone thought that the Five Poison Sect would not dare to make a move during the birthday banquet.
However, such a thing had happened, and the Five Poison Sect’s ancestor had even annihilated the Wind Thunder Pavilion’s people with lightning speed. Could it be that they had some other tricks up their sleeves?
In just a moment, Yao Tianchen’s mind was already filled with many thoughts. On their way here, there was no miasma, but the strange smell was still there. There was also the Five Poison Sect’s ancestor’s sudden attack and Sect Master Zhao’s death…
It was as if a pair of invisible hands had connected all the dots together. In an instant, Yao Tianchen’s pupils contracted as he shouted, “Everyone, don’t use your spiritual power!”
However, he had spoken too late. The Misty Cloud Sect, the Divine Will Sect, the Tianqi Sect, and the other major sects all attacked the Five Poison Sect’s ancestor together.
“What’s going on? My spiritual power is fading!”
The moment these sect masters and elders attacked, they could feel the sluggishness in the circulation of their spiritual power. The strength they exerted was less than half of their usual strength.
Soon, everyone reacted. “You actually poisoned us!”
Yao Tianchen hurriedly distributed the antidotes to everyone. The Five Poison Sect’s ancestor looked on coldly and did not stop him, as if he was watching an ant’s final struggle.
“It seems like you guys aren’t stupid. You all finally realized it.”
All of them didn’t expect that they would still fall into the Five Poison Sect’s trap even after all their precautions.
Yao Tianchen stared at the Five Poison Sect’s ancestor and said with a serious expression, “I’m afraid that the moment we stepped into the Lingnan mountain range, we were already poisoned.”
They had already figured out what the miasma smell was. It was all to paralyze them and make them let down their guard. The smell that couldn’t be dispersed was the source of the poison. It was just that there were too many demonic beast corpses, so the rotten smell covered it up and they didn’t notice it.
The Five Poison Sect’s ancestor laughed heartily. “That’s right. I know that you have profound cultivation bases and that you all would have been able to detect ordinary poisonous gases. At least my efforts to set up such a scene weren’t wasted.”
