Chapter 2193: Discovered

The few men raised their bowls of wine together and shouted: “Cheers!” Then they downed their wine.

After they had drunk their wine, they put their bowls down. Some of them ate the little dishes of food while others poured more wine. Some of them spoke: “Master’s Myriad Poison Hand is at its final critical stage, we must make sure there are no mishaps over the next few days.”

“What are you worried about? This place is so hidden, and besides, there are eight poison envoys here, what can happen?” One of them said as he picked up some food to eat.

“That’s right, with the combined strength of the eight of us, plus so many other people guarding this place, even a mosquito won’t be able to fly in!”

The four people inside chatted while Feng Jiu and the others, who were lurking in the shadows, retreated quietly after they signaled to each other. Once they had come to a safe place, Feng Jiu’s eyes flashed and she spoke in a low voice: “I didn’t expect the Five Poison Sect Master to be here, and his Myriad Poison Hand has nearly finished cultivating.”

“Those four men said that there are eight poison envoys. That means other than the four of them drinking wine, there are four more guarding the place where the Five Poison Sect Sect Master is cultivating.” Guan Xilin said in a low voice.

“It seems that we have come at the right time.” Mo Chen said with a smile and looked at the two of them: “Let’s not alert them. The most important thing is to look for the place where the Five Poison Sect Master is cultivating in secret first.”

“What if we capture one person to interrogate?” Guan Xilin suggested.

“It’s useless.”

Feng Jiu and Mo Chen said in unison. They looked at each other, then said to Guan Xilin: “All the Five Poison Sect disciples have taken poison, they are the equivalent to death envoys. It will be very difficult to obtain any information from them. If we capture one of them, we also run the risk of being discovered earlier. It will be better if we investigate in secret.”

“Yes.” Mo Chen nodded: “This place is not that big, if the three of us split up, it shouldn’t be too difficult to find the whereabouts of the Five Poison Sect Master. However, we cannot act alone if we find him, we have to discuss a plan of action first.”

“Alright.” The other two responded. After they had agreed where they would meet up again after a certain period of time, they each picked a direction and headed off in search.

At this time, the night was deep, and though there were people patrolling the valley, no one had realised that three people had quietly sneaked in. Even the four people who were drinking never expected that the person they were talking about would have found this place and had already sneaked in without them knowing…

Though the strength of the three of them were strong, they had condensed their breath. Hence, not only did the four poison envoys drinking wine not feel their presence, even the poison envoys who were patrolling didn’t feel their presence either.

However, it was not easy trying to find the Five Poison Sect Master’s whereabouts in the courtyard built within this valley. They had walked half the way around and hadn’t found him. Finally, when it was close to midnight, Guan Xilin came to the back of the courtyard that was backed onto the mountain to relieve himself. When he did so, he inadvertently glimpsed and caught sight of a cave dwelling.

After he had finished his business, he walked closer to take a look. Although it was pitch black ahead of him, it was not lit up. However, there was a cave dwelling at the foot of the mountain, and there were two middle-aged men in black robes sitting crossed-legged outside the cave dwelling quietly.

He didn’t go closer but retreated quietly to inform Mo Chen and his younger sister. There were not only those two middle-aged men who were guarding this place, but also an array about fifty metres in front of him.
