Chapter 365 - 365 Walking Into a Doorless Hell
365 Walking Into a Doorless Hell
Zhou Sheng wasn’t worried that Ye Xuan and the others would really be ruthless. Zhou Hong only had one son, and if something really happened to him, the Valley of Medicine Masters would be the most suspicious and would definitely not be able to bear the consequences.
At the thought of this, Zhou Sheng revealed a sinister smile. He said, “If you’re sensible, let me go quickly. Don’t tell me you want to provoke a dispute between the Five Poison Sect and the Valley of Medicine Masters.”
Ye Xuan looked at him as if he was looking at a fool. “Didn’t you start the dispute first? Now, you’re using this to pressure me.”
He was sure that if he fell into Zhou Sheng’s hands, he would definitely not have a good ending. However, now it was the opposite. Not only was Zhou Sheng not afraid, but he also dared to be so arrogant. Ye Xuan was afraid that there was something wrong with his head.
“What makes you think I’ll let you go? Who gave you the guts to think so?”
“Because my father is the grand elder of the Five Poison Sect!”
Zhou Sheng got up from the ground with great difficulty, but he was kicked back down by Ye Xuan.
“You better lie on the ground. Don’t stand up and be an eyesore, you dirty thing.”
Ye Xuan’s kick left no room for mercy. Zhou Sheng felt that his internal organs were about to shift from place to place due to Ye Xuan’s kick. His expression was dark and ruthless as he spat out, “My father will never let you off. If I really die, the Five Poison Sect will definitely flatten the Valley of Medicine Masters!”
He didn’t regret his actions at all. The only thing he regretted was not bringing more people with him. He had thought that the fighting here would at least attract the attention of the Five Poison Sect.
However, Ye Xuan was too strong and powerful, and he subdued them effortlessly. They didn’t make a sound at all, and the Five Poison Sect probably wouldn’t find out in a short time.
Ye Xuan looked down from above, his dark eyes like an abyss, and the words he said were even more chilling.
“I’m afraid you’ve forgotten one thing, I’m not from the Valley of Medicine Masters, killing you is as easy as killing a chicken or slaughtering an ox.”
The killing intent that flashed in his eyes made Zhou Sheng shudder. At this moment, Ye Xuan was serious. Ye Xuan wasn’t afraid of these threats at all!
This realization immediately made Zhou Sheng’s face turn pale. “You…”
“Aren’t you afraid that the Five Poison Sect will cause trouble for the Valley of Medicine Masters?”
It could be seen that Ye Xuan was someone who valued friendship. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken such a big risk to beat Li Mao at his own game and even come here personally. Why was it that this threat didn’t work at all now?
Ye Xuan raised his hand, wanting to get rid of this eyesore, but someone stopped him.
Li Mao shook his head. Although he also wanted to kill Zhou Sheng as soon as possible, what Zhou Sheng said made sense. If he was really dead, the great elder would definitely not let the matter rest. He would find the murderer even if it meant turning the world upside down.
“Fellow Daoist Ye, we can’t be so reckless. Although Zhou Sheng has done many evil things, the wicked will be punished by the heavens. If you make a move, you’ll be in big trouble.”
Seeing that even Li Mao was speaking up for him, Zhou Sheng once again revealed an arrogant and proud expression. “Did you hear that? That’s a wise man who submits to circumstances. Hurry up and let me go.”
Ye Xuan was a little speechless. The people of the Valley of Medicine Masters had good characters, but they were indecisive, hesitant, and lacked a murderous spirit.
However, he couldn’t blame them. After all, they were usually aloof from worldly affairs and focused on dealing with medicinal herbs and spiritual plants.
“Fellow Daoist Li, you’re mistaken. Do you think he’ll let us go if I let him go? You’ve seen it for yourself, we’ll simply be letting the enemy go back to his base and the situation will get worse.”
Li Mao was rendered speechless. “But-”
He didn’t know if he should let go or not. He really couldn’t think of any good ideas in a short time.
“But you can’t just kill him like that.”
Ye Xuan didn’t agree with Li Mao’s idea. He replied, “The murderer will always eventually be killed. He wanted to kill us before. If the Five Poison Sect wants revenge, let them come.”
Zhou Sheng wasn’t stupid. He knew that Ye Xuan was serious. After sensing his killing intent, he immediately retracted his arrogant attitude. He was afraid of death, and he was most afraid of people like Ye Xuan who didn’t care about their lives.
“If you let me go, I can promise that I won’t cause you any more trouble.”
Only a ghost would believe that.
Ye Xuan sneered, “Do you think I’m as gullible as a three-year-old?”
Zhou Sheng lowered his head and said, “If you kill me, even if no one knows it was you who did it, I’m afraid the Five Poison Sect will also vent their anger on the Valley of Medicine Masters. If both sides fight, the losses will be too great.”
Zhou Sheng knew that it was useless to say all this. Ye Xuan was not from the Valley of Medicine Masters. He could run, but the others couldn’t. Thus, he looked at Li Mao.
“Just because of a moment of anger, could you bear to see all your senior and junior brothers lose their lives?”
Zhou Sheng was a sinister, ruthless, and cunning person. He had completely grasped Li Mao’s lifeline with his words.
Although if they let him go, Zhou Sheng would definitely cause trouble again. If they killed him, the consequences were not to be underestimated. After all, Zhou Hong only had one son.
It was difficult for cultivators to have children and if Zhou Sheng died…
“Fellow Daoist Ye, I know that this request is difficult for you, but the lives of so many Valley of Medicine Masters disciples are at stake, I have to consider it carefully.”
Li Mao had too many concerns. For his sake, Ye Xuan nodded reluctantly and replied, “Don’t regret it in the future.”
At least for now, Zhou Sheng was still alive, and it would not be good for the Five Poison Sect to completely fall out with the Valley of Medicine Masters. The two sides had not reached that point yet.
Seeing Ye Xuan relent, Zhou Sheng’s worried heart finally settled down.
“I’ll spare you this time on account of him pleading for you. Get out of my sight now!”
Zhou Sheng struggled to get up from the ground. This time, Ye Xuan finally didn’t give him another kick. Zhou Sheng said, “Thank you.”
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and prepared to leave with his head lowered. Neither Ye Xuan nor Li Mao noticed the dark glint that flashed in his eyes.
It happened very quickly.
The moment they brushed past each other, Zhou Sheng suddenly shouted, “Go to hell!”
This was the best time to attack. Ye Xuan was almost defenseless, and his fragile neck was exposed in Zhou Sheng’s line of sight. As long as he cut it, Ye Xuan would die without a doubt.
His body was like a ghost, and a dim light flashed across the darkness. The sharp blade was dipped in the world’s poison. As long as a small wound was made, the poison would enter the heart meridian, and even the gods would not be able to save him.
