392 Isolated and Helpless, Finding a Way out

“Who are these two people?”

The Five Poison Sect did not take them to heart. Their poison was so powerful, so these two fish that had escaped the net should have been an accident.

The Fifth Elder looked at them. He was familiar with these two faces. “They are the people that the great elder Zhou Hong has specifically asked for.”

Zhou Sheng’s death was definitely related to these two people.

“Then let’s bring them back. I’ll leave the rest to you.”

No one knew how much shock Li Mao felt. Everyone had been in trouble, but they were the only ones who had been spared. Was this just an accident?

He subconsciously glanced at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan’s expression was calm as if everything was within his expectations.

Li Mao didn’t think that they were lucky. He remembered the pill he had taken before. This was the only difference between him and the other disciples.

Thinking of this, Li Mao’s despairing expression brightened up again. Ye Xuan must have a way!

Even the elders had fallen for it, but Ye Xuan’s antidote pill was able to protect him. It was enough to show the power of the antidote pill.

“Plop!”

Li Mao kneeled on the ground and said with utmost sincerity, “Please, I earnestly ask for your help.”

He didn’t address Ye Xuan as ‘Fellow Daoist Ye’, and even spoke in such a respectful manner.

Li Mao knew it was too late to regret not listening to Ye Xuan earlier, but since he knew the Five Poison Sect’s plan, he would definitely have a way to deal with it.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be standing here with such a relaxed expression.

The Fifth Elder couldn’t help but laugh. “It seems like I was wrong. You have indeed been poisoned, and it’s not a light one. Even your brain is damaged.”

Not only the people of the Five Poison Sect, but even the people of the Valley of Medicine Masters were also baffled, not knowing what was going on with Li Mao.

Was he just desperately going around randomly to seek help? This was a little too unreliable.

Not to mention that even if Yao Tianchen was safe and sound and could rush back, he would not be able to solve the current predicament of the Valley of Medicine Masters.

“Regardless of the price you have to pay for this?”

Li Mao said without hesitation, “Yes, even if the price for this is my life.”

Looking at Ye Xuan and Li Mao chatting as if there was no one else around, the Fifth Elder’s heart was filled with inexplicable anger. It was fine if Yao Tianchen and the others didn’t care about him.

However, how could these two people ignore him? Especially Ye Xuan?

“Since you’re going to die sooner or later, I’ll send you on your way now. It’s good that you have a companion on the road to the netherworld.”

More importantly, he always felt that Ye Xuan was not a simple person. In order to avoid any unexpected changes, he had to kill him as soon as possible to be at ease.

The moment he finished speaking, he jumped up and aimed at Ye Xuan’s vital spots. Huge earth spikes emerged from the ground and the spikes were all black

However, he missed.

“Where did he go?”

Ye Xuan was even faster than the Fifth Elder. To be more precise, Ye Xuan had already begun to prepare after seeing through his identity as a spy.

Just as the Fifth Elder was feeling puzzled, a cold light pierced his back. It was so fast and from a tricky angle that it was too late for the Fifth Elder to dodge by the time he noticed it.

It turned out that Ye Xuan was simply using a smokescreen just now. He had used a doppelganger technique, and his main body had already appeared behind the Fifth Elder.

It was as if the sky had been broken, and the light that was revealed broke through all the darkness, making people shiver and unable to resist.

No one saw Ye Xuan’s movements clearly. They only knew that when they did, the Fifth Elder had already fallen to the ground, his eyes staring at the sky with disbelief and fear.

The blood flowing from the tip of the sword dripped onto the ground.

“Plop… Plop…”

The whole place was suddenly silent. Whether it was the Five Poison Sect or the Valley of Medicine Masters, they all widened their eyes in disbelief.

Looking at the magical scene in front of them, they thought that they were hallucinating.

The Fifth Elder was at the peak of the sky rank and was only one step away from the sun rank, but Ye Xuan killed him in one move. Even if the Fifth Elder was caught off guard, it was enough to prove how terrifying Ye Xuan was.

How did he do it?

Even if they were to take action, they would probably not be able to reach this level.

The people from the Five Poison Sect were the first to return to their senses. “Quickly kill him!”

Because of their anxiousness, their voices broke. They had a faint feeling that this person would be the biggest variable in their plan.

Obviously, it wasn’t because Ye Xuan was lucky enough to escape the disaster, but because he really had a way to deal with those strange poisons. Maybe he really had some pills on hand.

The black cloud immediately pressed down. To be more precise, the black cloud was poisonous insects.

The buzzing sound made people shudder. The insect tide attacked Ye Xuan. These poisonous insects were different from the ones Ye Xuan had encountered before. They had been carefully cultivated by the Five Poison Sect.

Furthermore, these poisonous insects had devoured the cultivators’ Qi essence, flesh, and blood, so their power had increased greatly. The failed products of the poison men were also fed to the poisonous insects.

The poisonous gas around their bodies became more intense, and even their bodies were several times larger.

One of them was already very powerful, not to mention so many of them gathered together.

The cloud of poisonous insects instantly devoured Ye Xuan.

The people of the Valley of Medicine Masters were once again dumbfounded. They had originally hoped that he would be able to show his divine power, but in the end, this was it…?

He’s gone so quickly?

The people of the Five Poison Sect could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

“He’s no one important or powerful. What’s the matter with that Fifth Elder? To think he actually died in the hands of such a person.”

“Maybe it was his sneak attack just now, and the Fifth Elder’s carelessness. But it makes sense. How can such a person be a match for our Five Poison Sect?”

Li Mao couldn’t believe that Ye Xuan had died just like that. He stared at the black mist with burning eyes.

“No, he’s definitely not dead.”
