Chapter 31

Now, Ren Woxing could swear to the heavens that he truly no longer cared much for the position of the leader of the Sun Moon Cult, for he knew that as long as Dongfang Bubai was around, he would never have any chance.

The Sun Moon Cult could only reach its peak under Dongfang Bubai's leadership, and Ren Woxing himself would then become renowned throughout the world. Therefore, he genuinely had no ill intentions toward Dongfang Bubai and dared not have such thoughts, as he was not alone; his wife and daughter were still on Heimu Cliff.

Thus, for Dongfang Bubai's orders, he did not show the slightest slack, all for the sake of his family's well-being and his own advancement.

"Yes, Hall Master, please don't be too polite, just give the order," Qu Yang, who had been standing silently to the side, finally spoke. He had been quietly observing the conversation between the two and understood the underlying tension, so he quickly declared his stance.

"Then I won't be too polite," Zhao He said with a slight smile, then turned serious and looked at Ren Woxing and Qu Yang, "At night, it's when all kinds of venomous creatures are most active. The Five Poisons Cult will not miss this opportunity. To lure more venomous creatures to our camp, they will get closer to us. Brother Qu, go and secretly call the leaders of the various halls. If Mr. Ping is done with his tasks, please ask him to come as well. At that time, we will only send our experts to capture all the Five Poisons Cult disciples hiding in the dark."

"Yes," Qu Yang's expression changed slightly, and he turned to make the arrangements.

...

In the second half of the night, two thousand Zhuque Hall disciples were stationed in the wilderness, surrounded by the faint hisses and roars of various venomous creatures and beasts, forcing the Zhuque Hall disciples to tighten their defenses, with patrols everywhere.

About a thousand meters away from the Zhuque Hall camp, over a hundred black figures were stealthily watching the Zhuque Hall camp. These were the Five Poisons Cult members sent to obstruct the Sun Moon Cult.

They were so cautious, staying a thousand meters away from the Zhuque Hall camp, which was why even Ren Woxing, with his grandmaster-level senses, could not find them.

"Senior Zhao, should we take action?" One of the figures at the front asked the person in the center, clearly the leader of the group.

Senior Zhao's expression hardened, and he shouted, "Why not? Dongfang Bubai rashly sent people to attack us. This time, we must show them our strength. Let's get closer to the Sun Moon Cult camp. Even if they find us, with so many venomous creatures, they can't do anything."

"Yes," the others replied in unison.

Half an hour later, at the Zhuque Hall camp, many disciples were patrolling when suddenly...

"Quack, quack, quack...!"

"Hisss, hisss, hisss...!"

"Ugh, ugh, ugh...!"

...

...

"What's that sound?" the patrolling disciples exclaimed in surprise. They quickly realized that these were the sounds of various venomous creatures, and the sounds were getting closer!

Hearing the dense sounds, they felt a chill. How many venomous creatures must there be?

The moonlight was dim, and with their limited skills, they couldn't see far. Some quick-witted individuals immediately threw their torches in the direction of the sounds.

As the torches flew, a bright light appeared, and everyone could see the ground clearly. The sight shocked everyone; the ground was densely covered with various venomous creatures.

Snakes, centipedes, scorpions, toads... all kinds of venomous creatures were heading straight for their camp, despite usually fighting each other.

"Don't panic, quickly get the things Mr. Ping prepared," some of the Sun Moon Cult leaders shouted.

"Yes," the Sun Moon Cult disciples quickly calmed down and prepared.

Soon, the camp was surrounded by various herbs. The disciples lit these herbs, and a thick smoke and a pungent smell spread around the Zhuque Hall camp.

In a moment, the various venomous creatures, which had been rushing toward the camp, suddenly stopped and their sounds grew quieter. As the smoke and smell intensified, the countless venomous creatures, as if encountering their natural enemies, desperately retreated, many dying from being crushed and trampled.

Seeing this, all the Sun Moon Cult disciples were greatly encouraged, their faces showing excitement.

In the crowd of the Sun Moon Cult, a middle-aged man was surrounded by many people who looked at him with admiration. This man was Ping Erzhi, who had created these herbs.

The Five Poisons Cult members, now hiding behind the venomous creatures, were only about two hundred meters from the Zhuque Hall camp.

At first, they were excited to see the venomous creatures rushing toward the Zhuque Hall camp, but soon their faces turned grim as they watched the creatures retreat and kill each other. They couldn't help but curse in their hearts.

"Senior Zhao, what should we do?" one of them asked.

Senior Zhao pondered for a moment and said solemnly, "It seems the Sun Moon Cult was well-prepared. We should retreat and wait for a better opportunity."

"Ha ha ha! Retreat? I want to see where you can retreat to," a loud voice suddenly echoed, shocking the Five Poisons Cult members.

"Who! Come out now!" Senior Zhao, also startled, readied his iron staff and shouted angrily.

"Hmph, as you wish," the loud voice said again, and a strange weapon flew toward Senior Zhao.

"Bang...!"

The strange weapon collided with Senior Zhao's iron staff, sending a powerful shockwave in all directions.

"Thud, thud, thud...!"

Senior Zhao took several steps back, his face turning slightly red, clearly injured by the attack.

The wielder of the strange weapon revealed himself, it was the Flying Demon God Zhao He, holding the Lei Zhen shield.

At that moment, many more people appeared, surrounding the Five Poisons Cult members.

"Ha ha ha, Zhao Yuan, where do you think you can run today?" Zhao He, who clearly knew Senior Zhao, said with disdain.

"Hmph, Zhao He!" Senior Zhao, who also recognized Zhao He, looked at him seriously and then at the surrounding Sun Moon Cult members. His heart sank; there were only about twenty to thirty people, but each was at the innate realm or higher.

There was also Qu Yang, who was at the same level as him, and Zhao He, who was even stronger. He immediately realized that he was in deep trouble and shouted, "Five Poisons Cult disciples, follow my orders and break through immediately."

"Yes," the Five Poisons Cult members quickly responded.

"Hmph! Kill," Zhao He said coldly.

The battle began instantly, and the situation was one-sided, with Five Poisons Cult members being killed or severely injured.

Originally, a few Five Poisons Cult members could have broken through, but with Ren Woxing, a grandmaster-level expert, hiding in the dark, none of them, including Senior Zhao, could escape. They either died or were captured.

Back in the main tent, Zhao He, Qu Yang, Ren Woxing, Ping Erzhi, and the various hall leaders were all present, each with a smile on their face.

"Being able to capture all the invading Five Poisons Cult disciples, everyone here has done a great job. I will report this to the leader and request rewards for everyone," Zhao He said, looking at the group.

Naturally, everyone expressed their gratitude and humility. After some pleasantries, Zhao He's expression turned serious, and he said, "After this, we should have some peace, but we cannot be complacent. We must always be prepared."

"Yes," everyone except Ren Woxing replied in unison.

"Good. During this quiet period, before the Five Poisons Cult reacts, we will speed up and reach their stronghold as soon as possible, block and monitor them, and wait for the leader to arrive," Zhao He said seriously.

"Yes, we will follow your orders," Qu Yang and the other hall leaders bowed and replied.

...

The next morning, Dongfang Bubai received the detailed report from Zhao He, a smile appearing on his face. He waved his sleeve and said to Xue Qianxin, "Order Zhang Chengyun to prepare for departure. This time, he will bring three thousand Qinglong Hall disciples."

"Yes," Xue Qianxin's heart tightened, knowing that Dongfang Bubai would soon leave the mountain.

Three days later, the Xuanyu Hall and Zhuque Hall encountered little resistance, advancing steadily. The Xuanyu Hall had almost cleared the Five Poisons Cult's outer strongholds and was quickly moving to join the Zhuque Hall, which was only a day's journey from the Five Poisons Cult's stronghold.

The battles had already spread widely in Yunnan and the surrounding areas, even mentioned in the news bought by the Bai Xiaosheng organization, attracting the attention of many people.

In the headquarters of the Five Poisons Cult.

The headquarters was a village, where not only Five Poisons Cult members but also many Miao people lived. This was a unique aspect of the Five Poisons Cult, which was established by the Miao people, making the village large and populous.

In the central building of the village, a dozen people were standing solemnly, discussing something. This was where the leader of the Five Poisons Cult resided, the core of the cult.

The current leader of the Five Poisons Cult, He Qigao, sat in the main seat, with the other high-ranking members standing below. Each of them had a hint of worry in their eyes.
