Chapter 378 - 378 A Conspiracy Surfaces



A portion of the elders did not agree. “Would the Five Poison Sect be so kind? I keep feeling that this matter is quite strange. If they have the intention to harm us during the banquet, I’m afraid it’s impossible for us to guard against it.”

“Third Elder’s words are reasonable. Previously, they wanted to kill us, and many of our disciples were killed. Let’s not talk about other things, just Zhou Sheng’s death alone, would Zhou Hong let it go? He only has one son.”

Although Zhou Sheng had died because of his own mistake, the Valley of Medicine Masters was involved in it, so it was inevitable that Zhou Hong would be angry at them.

“They don’t have good intentions at all. This is going to be a banquet held with ill will. If we go, there will definitely be a lot of trouble. It’s better to stay behind closed doors. Even if the Five Poison Sect is dissatisfied, they can’t come to our door just because of this matter.”

The Fifth Elder had a different opinion. “But this time, the other sects are also going. No matter how bold the Five Poison Sect is, they can’t choose to make a move at this time.”

He and the other elder’s eyes met in mid-air as if they had just inadvertently glanced at each other.

“Fifth Elder’s words make sense. Our Valley of Medicine Masters is a famous sect, after all. I don’t think the Five Poison Sect would have the guts to attack us in front of so many people.”

The Third Elder couldn’t help but roll his eyes and said, “You don’t really believe that the Five Poison Sect is just holding a birthday banquet, do you? There must be some kind of scheme behind this.”

The Fifth Elder retorted sarcastically, “Maybe they really want to shake hands and make peace. If we refuse, who can guarantee that the Five Poison Sect won’t send people to visit us again? By then, it might even be the Five Poison Sect’s ancestor who will personally pay us a visit.”

Most of the people supported the Third Elder’s view, but the Fifth Elder’s words also made sense.

It would naturally be for the best if they could be harmonious, but if not, they had to avoid becoming enemies.

Yao Tianchen sat at the head of the table and did not say a word. He only spoke after a long time, “Everyone’s words are reasonable. I need to think carefully before making a decision.”

The other elders looked at each other and didn’t want to disturb him.

There was an abandoned thatched cottage in the southeast of the Valley of Medicine Masters. It was deserted and almost no one had set foot there, but the Fifth Elder was looking around as if he was waiting for someone.

It didn’t take long for another person to arrive. It was the Sixth Elder who had spoken and agreed with him earlier. The two of them had agreed to meet here.

“The other side asked me to bring this supreme-grade restoration spirit pill over. Taking it will at least allow your cultivation to rise by one level.”

As soon as he took it out, he smelled the refreshing fragrance of the medicine, which was not available in the market at all. The Sixth Elder revealed a greedy expression and impatiently swallowed it.

It turned out that the spy Ye Xuan had suspected that was planted in the Valley of Medicine Masters by the Five Poison Sect was the Fifth Elder.

However, once, when the two of them were on a mission together, the Sixth Elder was seriously injured, and Fifth Elder found an opportunity to make a move on him. He also made Sixth Elder switch sides with threats and promises.

Previously, the Sixth Elder might not have been very willing. However, his cultivation level had been stagnant for many years. It was thanks to the Five Poison Sect’s aid and he received a lot of benefits as well. Now, he had completely betrayed the Valley of Medicine Masters.

“Does the Five Poison Sect have any arrangements?”

It had always been the Fifth Elder who had been in direct contact with the other side, and he had been the one to relay the message. The relationship between the two was deeper. It seemed that the Five Poison Sect had already planted this spy of theirs a long time ago.

“The other side has already said that the day of the birthday banquet is the day that the great plan will be executed.”

The Sixth Elder revealed a secretive smile and said, “Our preparations for so long have not been in vain. We have finally waited for this day. However, what should we do if the valley master doesn’t attend the banquet?”

“No, he will definitely go.”

Seeing how certain the Fifth Elder was, the Sixth Elder was curious. The Sixth Elder asked, “Why is that?”

“Think about it, if all the sects go and only the Valley of Medicine Masters doesn’t go, wouldn’t that be openly opposing the Five Poison Sect? If worse comes to worst, even if Yao Tianchen really decides not to go, we have ways to make him agree.”

The Sixth Elder was even more puzzled.

“Speaking of which, why does the ancestor insist on Valley of Medicine Masters participating? Our plan has already progressed to this stage, so even if they lose one sect, it shouldn’t be a big deal.”

“The ancestor naturally has his own reasons.”

Although the Five Poison Sect was confident in their own poison techniques, the Valley of Medicine Masters’ specialty made them the Five Poison Sect’s natural enemy. In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, the Valley of Medicine Masters had to attend the birthday banquet.

“It is said that the Valley of Medicine Masters has a bottle of antidotes, which can cure all kinds of strange poisons in the world. It has been a treasure of the Valley of Medicine Masters’ valley master for generations.”

The Sixth Elder nodded and said, “I’ve also heard of this rumor, but I’ve never seen this bottle of pills before. How can there be such a magical and powerful thing in the world that can cure all poisons? Isn’t it a little too exaggerated? I’m afraid it’s simply a myth.”

“The ancestor has confirmed that this bottle of pills is in the hands of Yao Tianchen. However, we don’t know where he has hidden it in the Valley of Medicine Masters.”

This bottle of pills had been passed down from generation to generation by the valley masters and had been preserved until today. It was said that it had been left behind by the ancestor of the Valley of Medicine Masters, the Medicine Saint. It had been regarded as a treasure by the valley masters and was extremely effective against the Five Poison Sect.

The Five Poison Sect wanted to use the opportunity of the Five Poison Sect’s ancestor’s birthday celebration to gather everyone together and secretly poison them so that they would lose their ability to fight.

If the Valley of Medicine Masters did not attend the banquet, they would definitely take out this bottle of antidotes to save people when they find out that the Five Poison Sect wanted to capture everyone in one fell swoop. Moreover, there was the Valley of Medicine Masters’ abilities to take into account as well. It could be said that the Valley of Medicine Masters was a variable in this plan.

In order for the plan to be carried out smoothly without any incidents, this hidden danger variable had to be resolved.

“I see.”

“There’s one more thing. You have to visit the other elders more often and find out what they want. It would be best if you could convince them to attend the birthday banquet. If the ancestor’s plan succeeds and the Five Poison Sect becomes the leader of the other sects, you will definitely get some benefits.”

The two of them exchanged a few more words. Then, they went their separate ways to avoid suspicion.
