Chapter 139 Madam, do you want to join us?
Southwest, Xiaoyaojian.
This is the headquarters of the Hehuan Sect, one of the three major factions of the Demon Cult.
In terms of geographical location, Fox Mountain of the Ghost King Sect, the Poison Snake Valley of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, and Xiaoyaojian of the Hehuan Sect form a large triangle, balancing and restraining each other.
This constituted a relatively solid balance of power within the Demon Sect.
But this balance is about to be broken...
In the pavilion in the lake on the back mountain of Xiaoyaojian, there stood a woman in white. She had a plump figure and every part of her body exuded an indescribable charm that was beyond words.
It was Madam San Miao, the leader of the Hehuan Sect.
There was another woman in yellow standing behind Madam San Miao, who also had a seductive look and manner, but she was Jin Ping'er.
"Have you found out clearly?" Madam San Miao frowned, with a unique charm.
If a man saw her, he would probably immediately have a strong desire to protect her. A devoted man might even want to die for her.
It's really charming.
"yes."
Jin Ping'er also looked solemn, "We have received accurate information that the monsters in Ningzhou have been eliminated by the Ghost King Sect. In the battle of Yongcheng alone, they killed three seventh-grade monsters and more than 60,000 fierce beasts.
"After the incident, the people of Ningzhou were extremely grateful to the Ghost King Sect. It is reported that the Ningzhou governor has reported the incident to the court to commend the Ghost King Sect for its contribution."
"Why is the Ghost King Sect behaving out of character?" Madam San Miao was puzzled.
Based on her understanding of the Ghost King, in the face of such a great catastrophe of heaven and earth, it would be good enough for the Ghost King Clan not to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. How could they suddenly have good intentions, follow the righteous path, and go kill the monster?
Is there something wrong with your brain?
"It should be the new priest of the Ghost King Sect, who was recently appointed by the Ghost King as the elder who teaches the skills and is actively recruiting extraordinary disciples. In Yongcheng, within three days, hundreds of people from the Ghost King Sect were building their foundations at the same time." Thinking of the meeting with Qin Mo in the Heavenly Emperor's treasury, Jin Ping'er always had an indescribable feeling.
That person is hard to see through...
Madam San Miao's expression darkened, and she sighed and said, "If things continue like this, within ten years, the Ghost King Sect will be riding on us, and even unify the Holy Church."
This was something she didn't want to see at all. The three major families had been fighting for so long, who would be willing to surrender?
"Then...what should we do?" Jin Ping'er asked cautiously.
"Of course we should strike first." Madam San Miao's face was icy, "We should take advantage of the fact that the Ghost King Sect has not yet fully risen to power and unite with the Ten Thousand Poison Sect to nip the threat in the bud."
Like the Ghost King, although Madam San Miao claims to be a smart person, she is still tainted with the evil habits of the Demon Cult. That is, she always subconsciously likes to fight and consume internally and engage in "zero-sum games."
He really should be sent to university for further study.
“But the Wan Du Sect has been badly damaged due to the internal fighting for the leader…” Jin Ping’er reminded.
"This is just perfect." Madam San Miao suddenly had an intoxicating smile on her face, which made people's skulls soften. "Only when the Ten Thousand Poison Sect becomes weaker can we take control of the cooperation, right?"
"The master is wise!"
Jin Ping'er smiled on the surface, but was frightened in her heart.
Somehow, she always felt a vague sense of uneasiness and throbbing, as if there was some shadow hanging over the Demon Cult.
I've been thinking about it carefully, but I still can't find the right answer.
"Accompany me to the Viper Valley, now." Madam San Miao was straightforward and flew into the air, like a flying fairy, with a graceful posture that aroused people's reverie.
Every movement, every look, is just right.
Jin Ping'er had no choice but to follow.
…
Serpent Valley.
This vast valley is surrounded by dense ancient forests.
For most of the year, poisonous fog rises from the forest in the early morning and at dusk.
These poisonous fogs are not miasma, but the poisonous gas exhaled by countless poisonous snakes living in the valley every day.
There are so many poisonous snakes in the valley that they are everywhere on the trees and underground.
It's like a huge snake cave.
Only the house of the Wan Du Sect in the valley was where the poisonous insects dared not approach because of the sect's secret method of expelling poisons.
These poisonous snakes that filled the mountains and plains became the Wan Du Sect's natural outer barrier and an inexhaustible treasure trove of poisons for its disciples.
At this moment, it was early morning, and a light-colored mist rose from the forest, looking like the morning fog.
But if an ignorant person approaches, he will be poisoned and die in a few moments with blood flowing from all his orifices.
In the end, he will be buried in the belly of a snake.
At this time in the Snake Valley, in addition to poisonous gas, a strong smell of blood was also floating in the air.
It lingers for a long time.
After several days of fighting , most of the ordinary disciples of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect had been killed or injured, except for some highly skilled leaders.
The Wan Du Sect was severely damaged.
In the end, Duan Rushan, the third brother who had always been weak and was not favored by the outside world, relied on the strong strength of his team to overwhelm Fan Xiong and Cheng Wuya in one fell swoop.
Sitting on the sect leader's throne that everyone coveted.
The Wan Du Sect at this time still cannot be underestimated. Apart from the lack of the Poison God, they still have a group of powerful elders, such as the Four Elders of the Poison Sect, the Vampire Old Demon, the Hundred Poison Son, and the Old Ancestor Duanmu.
High-end combat power still exists.
If Qin Mo hadn't appeared...
On this day, Qin Mo, Ghost King, Qinglong, Gui Li, and You Ji, the five most powerful people in the Ghost King Sect, left Yongcheng and went straight to the Venomous Snake Valley.
Broke the silence of the Serpent Valley.
Upon receiving the news, the new sect leader Duan Rushan, along with his two senior brothers, the four elders of the Poison Sect and others, came to the outside of the valley to greet them. It was obvious that they did not want Qin Mo and his party to enter the valley.
"I wonder what advice the Ghost King Sect Leader has for you?" Duan Rushan's tone was full of caution.
In terms of seniority, since the deceased Poison God was a figure from the previous generation of the Demon Cult, Duan Rushan actually belonged to the same generation as the Ghost King, Madam Sanmiao, and Yu Yangzi.
In terms of cultivation, there is a huge gap.
Duan Rushan is only at the late Jindan stage, not even as good as Gui Li. If it weren't for his amazing skills in using poison, he would be nothing to be afraid of.
His two senior brothers were in the same league, barely entering the Nascent Soul stage.
The Ghost King was as dignified as a deep abyss and as majestic as a mountain. He said calmly, "I came to congratulate the new leader of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, but I don't know who the new leader is."
As he spoke, his eyes moved back and forth between Duan Rushan and the other two.
The meaning is unclear.
Duan Rushan's face darkened, and he said in a cold voice: "Don't worry, Master Ghost King, the new master of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect is none other than me."
Fan Xiong and Cheng Wuya's eyes flickered, and it was obvious that they were still unwilling to give up.
It's not easy to show it in front of outsiders.
"Then congratulations, Brother Duan." The Ghost King clasped his fists, took out a wooden box from his storage bag, handed it to Qinglong next to him, and said, "It's just a small gift, I hope Master Duan will accept it."
Qinglong understood and handed the wooden box to Duan Rushan.
Duan Rushan took it doubtfully, thinking that the Ghost King really came to congratulate him. A hint of joy appeared on his face, and he seemed to enjoy the feeling of being recognized.
Especially in front of the two losers, his two senior brothers.
Duan Rushan opened the wooden box, his eyes fixed, and the joy on his face faded away in an instant, as if frozen.
The other members of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect also changed their expressions.
"What does Ghost King Sect Leader mean?" Duan Rushan's eyes were gloomy and his voice was cold.
In wooden box,
It was actually the head of Taoist Cangsong.
Because they were worried about the head rotting, they froze it with ice, making it like an ice sculpture. The eyes are still wide open, and it is obvious that he died with his eyes open.
It looks very creepy.
"It's nothing." The Ghost King's expression remained indifferent. "Master Cangsong, are you a worshiper of your family?"
"That's right." Duan Rushan didn't know what the Ghost King was up to, so he said hesitantly, "It's just that he left the Ten Thousand Poison Sect some time ago and has been missing ever since. How did he die?"
Speaking of which, the three brothers had tried to win over Taoist Cangsong before.
But none of them succeeded.
Duan Rushan has no good feelings towards Cangsong, a man who "deserted from the battlefield".
“That’s good.” Ghost King said leisurely, “Last time, Taoist Cangsong released the seven-tailed centipede under the pretext of inviting me to attend a funeral at the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, intending to poison me. Fortunately, it was captured and killed by Elder Qin of the Ghost King Sect, but one of my true disciples still died.”
"How do we settle this account?" asked the Ghost King.
“…”
Duan Rushan's face twitched. He instinctively felt that what the Ghost King said was untrue, but since there was no evidence to prove it, it was difficult for him to refute it.
Finally, he looked at Qin Mo deeply.
In the battle of the Death Swamp, it was Qin Wuyan who went to the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, and Duan Rushan had never seen Qin Mo's methods. After that, in the battle of Yongcheng, the Ten Thousand Poison Sect was busy fighting for the position of the Sect Leader, and he had no intention of paying attention.
Therefore, he didn't know much about the newly rising Qin Mo.
But Qin Mo's cultivation level, which even he couldn't see through, was enough to make him alert, and he killed Cangsong so easily.
only……
"So, the Ghost King Sect Leader is here to call for punishment?" Seeing that Duan Rushan was in a difficult position to speak, an old man in a green robe among the four elders of the Poison Sect stepped forward and tried to rescue their sect leader.
The tone was very unfriendly.
This is how the evil cult acts. No matter whether you are right or not, the one with the bigger fist is the truth.
The Ghost King's face also darkened, and he said, "It's not a question of raising an army to punish the culprit, but Taoist Cangsong was the first to assassinate us, and it would be unreasonable not to give the Ghost King Sect an explanation."
The threat in the words was also strong.
"Explanation, what explanation do you want?" The old man in green robe sneered.
The Ghost King said, "As we are both holy sects, I do not wish to pursue this further. I do not ask for much. All I want is one hundred foundation-building pills and twenty low-grade magic tools as compensation from the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, and we will let this matter go."
“…”
"You are taking advantage of the situation!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked for all the stock of Wan Du Men.
The situation is tense.
"What if I don't?" Duan Rushan had just become the sect leader, so he naturally couldn't admit defeat.
The Ghost King smiled and said, "If the Ten Thousand Poison Sect is not willing to compensate us with even this little bit, then, in order to maintain the reputation of the Ghost King Sect, we have no choice but to take it ourselves."
"You can try." The green-robed old man sneered, "The moment you approached the Viper Valley, you were poisoned by the smoke I set up. I'm afraid you can't even use your magic power now, right?"
Not only that,
During the time of the conversation, Duan Rushan and the others had already habitually placed layer upon layer of poison all around them, which was colorless, odorless, silent and without any trace.
When it comes to poisoning, they are truly experts.
Looking at the Ghost King and his entourage, everyone in the Ten Thousand Poison Sect just sneered.
Duan Rushan seemed to have made up his mind. He suddenly turned around and shouted into the valley, "Madam, I agree to your proposal. Why don't you show up and deal with the Ghost King Sect now?"
“Excellent~~~”
Accompanied by a charming and soft voice, Madam San Miao and Jin Ping'er walked out gracefully, looking at the Ghost King and his entourage with a half-smile.
