376 Forced to Be Involved In a Conspiracy
“Blargh!”
The disciple clutched his throat, but the pill had already slid in and he couldn’t spit it out. He asked fearfully, “What did you make me eat?”
He tried to force the pill out with his spiritual power, but he could not sense anything. It had already been quickly digested and absorbed.
“I advise you not to waste your time.”
Ye Xuan replied with a smile, “This is the Miao Jiang legendary poison. As long as you don’t tell others that you saw me today, I can guarantee your safety…”
He changed the topic and his tone became extremely menacing. He threatened, “But if you dare to spit it out, I guarantee that the poison will immediately act up and you’ll die suddenly. Others won’t be able to sense anything unusual.”
“I’m sure you’ve killed many people, so death means nothing to you. Maybe those vengeful souls are still waiting for you below the ground.”
At first, the Five Poison Sect disciple didn’t think much of it. After all, there were many people who had died at his hands.
Now that he heard Ye Xuan’s words, a cold wind blew from somewhere and goosebumps appeared all over his body. It was as if there really was an inexplicable spirit around him, and he immediately became suspicious.
“It turns out that people like you can also be afraid.”
Ye Xuan thought it was ridiculous. He fed the antidote to A’tian. His face still looked terrible, but it was much better than before. The system’s products were indeed different.
“I’m taking this man away. Remember, nothing happened tonight. Otherwise, I might not be caught, but you will definitely die.”
“But he’s the person that the great elder has specifically asked for. If you take him away, the great elder will definitely find out. At that time, my life will be in danger.”
Ye Xuan laughed coldly and said, “You’ve concocted so many poison men, do you really think Zhou Hong would check them one by one? Just find a random poison man to replace him and disfigure his face. Then just say that there was a problem during the concoction process, or even just say that it failed. Do you really need me to teach you such a small thing?”
The disciple was speechless and felt that it was ridiculous. Ye Xuan knew the trick better than him. But…
Ye Xuan couldn’t be bothered to talk nonsense with him. It probably wouldn’t be long before someone came here.
Due to the Miao Jiang legendary poison in his body, he could only watch Ye Xuan take the person away. Now, it could be said that it was impossible for him to stop all this now.
Not long after, his other companion returned. Seeing that he was the only one here, he immediately asked in confusion, “Eh, where’s the person that the great elder sent over just now?”
“I’ve already sent it to be dealt with. It seems that the great elder is very anxious, so the earlier we deal with it, the better we can give him an answer so that he won’t come to us for trouble.”
“Then you’re quite fast. When I went to the poison pool earlier, I was picked on by the Third Elder. I’m really unlucky.”
Seeing that his companion didn’t suspect anything and continued his grumbling, the disciple heaved a sigh of relief.
He could only follow Ye Xuan’s instructions. He had revealed too much top-secret information today. If the great elder found out, he would probably would not have a good ending.
Moreover, Ye Xuan had fed him the Miao Jiang legendary poison. For the sake of his own life, he would weigh the pros and cons and not reveal today’s events.
“By the way, those poisonous insects seem to be very quiet today. They used to be very active.”
The corpses of the poisonous insects on the ground had already been cleaned up. Hearing his companion’s sudden question, the disciple instantly became nervous.
However, many poisonous insects were born in the poisonous fog every day, so it was not eye-catching to have so few.
“Maybe they’re resting.”
He casually found a reason to brush it off.
“It’s really strange today,”
Fortunately, his companion mumbled a few words and didn’t ask any more questions. If he were to be more careful, he would find a big loophole in the truth, but he didn’t have the mood to care.
Part of the reason why there were so many poisonous creatures here was that there were many poisonous insects raised here. They extracted their venom and poison sacs for refining.
However, the poisonous insects that were usually very active were now very quiet. After all, they were all frightened by the sword Qi and would probably take a while to recover.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Ye Xuan was worried about attracting attention and held back his strength, most of the poisonous insects nearby would have been killed or injured. That would be too obvious.
…
A’tian had inhaled too much poison and was almost turned into a drug man. Moreover, his cultivation level was too low. Even if he had taken a supreme-grade detoxification pill, it would still take some time for him to wake up.
Ye Xuan’s harvest this time could be said to be huge. It concerned the Five Poison Sect’s skill in making poison men, their wild ambitions, and the conspiracy against the major sects.
He originally wanted to tell Yao Tianchen, but he hesitated.
The spy planted by the Five Poison Sect was very likely to hold a high position in the Valley of Medicine Masters. If he rashly acted and told Yao Tianchen about this matter, this matter would implicate many people. Without evidence, it would be difficult to gain the trust of people, and it would easily alert the enemy.
Although the missing disciples of the sect were in the Five Poison Sect, and they could be found as long as they went in and searched, they couldn’t search just because of his words. Moreover, the Five Poison Sect was not stupid, and this plan was unrealistic.
“If I had known, I would have brought the photo stone.”
Ye Xuan didn’t expect that he would find out such a shocking secret just because he wanted to find A’tian.
“The Five Poison Sect has been planning this for a long time. It must not have been a day or two. The scope of their influence is so wide that it may have exceeded my imagination. Perhaps other sects also have the Five Poison Sect’s spies planted in the higher-ups.”
Ye Xuan’s worries were not without reason. This matter was far from as simple as he had imagined. He was not a busybody, but this matter was more or less related to him.
After all, there was still Zhou Hong who was watching from the side, waiting to take his life. He couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.
Before Ye Xuan could think of how to deal with it, Yao Tianchen received an invitation from the Five Poison Sect.
