388 A Great Disaster Is Imminent, The Five Poison Sect Attacks
At this moment, the Valley of Medicine Masters was quiet and peaceful, completely unaware of the impending disaster.
There were still a few elders who did not attend the banquet with Yao Tianchen and stayed behind to protect the valley. Among them, the elder planted by the Five Poison Sect was at the array core of the Valley of Medicine Masters.
The Fifth Elder had asked to stay behind in the valley so that he could work with the Five Poison Sect from the inside.
This was the center of the array. Normally, ordinary people couldn’t get close to it, but Yao Tianchen wasn’t here, and the elders were the most powerful ones in the valley. Moreover, the ordinary disciples didn’t dare to get close to this place, so no one noticed the Fifth Elder’s actions.
!!
“As long as I destroy the array core and allow the poison men army to successfully invade, the entire Valley of Medicine Masters will be mine in the future.”
The Fifth Elder was full of ambition. It turned out that he had already reached an agreement with the Five Poison Sect. At that time, he would become the valley master of the Valley of Medicine Masters and enjoy a transcendent status.
The array seemed to have sensed something. It flickered with a faint light and runes flowed, forming a rather orderly track. There was also a restriction on the outside to prevent anyone from touching it. However, this was not a problem for the Fifth Elder.
He formed hand seals and muttered something. The original order tracks suddenly stopped in mid-air as if there was an inexplicable resistance that stopped them from moving until they completely stopped.
The array core was a light green spiritual pearl. Without the protection of the outer layer, the Fifth Elder held it in his hand gently. The light green pearl looked harmless, but it emitted a faint medicinal fragrance.
“It’s time for the Valley of Medicine Masters to change valley masters.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a green light suddenly burst out from his hand. When the Fifth Elder opened his palm again, there was only a little dust left, which was blown away by the wind.
Due to the damage to the array core, the entire array would not be dispelled immediately even if it moved slightly. The Fifth Elder feinted a move, and the array looked normal from the outside.
With this kind of smokescreen, even if someone noticed it, they would not be able to discover anything strange. No one would know that the array core had been completely destroyed.
The disciples of the Valley of Medicine Masters did not notice anything, but a few meditating elders opened their eyes slightly. Seeing that there was no unusual movement, they did not take it to heart.
At the same time, a firework quietly rose into the air, indicating some kind of signal.
The disciples of the Valley of Medicine Masters were even puzzled by it. Someone asked, “Who would suddenly set off fireworks at this time?”
“Who knows? Let’s hurry up and finish what we’re doing. Otherwise, when the valley master and the others return, they’ll blame us again.”
Suddenly, someone exclaimed and pointed to the sky, “Look, what’s that?”
Not far away, the sky was dark, like a large mass of dark clouds, rapidly approaching the location of the Valley of Medicine Masters.
Looking at the sunlight above their heads, everyone’s faces showed a puzzled expression.
“The weather is so strange. It’s supposed to be a sunny day, but where did the dark clouds come from? It doesn’t look like it’s going to rain.”
“The weather in June is so strange. It’s always sunny and then it’s raining. By the way, I’m still drying the herbs in front of my room. I have to take them back quickly, in case they get wet from the rain.”
As the dark clouds got closer, everyone realized that something was wrong. “Can the clouds move so fast?”
It was a dark mass that made people feel inexplicably flustered and depressed. It was also accompanied by the constant buzzing of wings flapping, which sounded like a demonic sound. Their pupils contracted as if they had discovered something extremely terrifying.
“No, this isn’t a dark cloud at all! Quickly inform the elders and the others!”
“Toot…”
A drawn-out sound suddenly rang out, breaking the unprecedented calm of the Valley of Medicine Masters. At this moment, the Valley of Medicine Masters was like a pot of water that suddenly started boiling as everyone got alarmed and agitated.
Even Ye Xuan, who was meditating, was alarmed. When he walked out of the room, he saw the disciples of the Valley of Medicine Masters in a hurry and a little panicked.
“What happened?” He asked a random person.
The disciple didn’t know what was going on either. “This is a signal from the Valley of Medicine Masters, indicating that something big has happened and they want us to gather at the martial arts practice field.”
By the time Ye Xuan rushed over, almost all the disciples in the Valley of Medicine Masters had gathered here, led by several elders, with unprecedented solemnity in their expressions.
“What happened exactly?”
“This kind of signal has not been used for a long time, it’s really disturbing to hear it. Whenever it rings, it must mean that something big has happened in the Valley of Medicine Masters.”
“You guys don’t know yet, right? There’s an enemy attack.”
“What kind of people would dare to attack our Valley of Medicine Masters?”
The name of the Five Poison Sect appeared in the minds of all the disciples at the same time. If they were to say that they had offended a powerful sect recently, then it was only the Five Poison Sect.
“That’s impossible. Didn’t the valley master and the others go to the Five Poison Sect’s ancestor’s birthday banquet? Why would the Five Poison Sect attack us? Could there be some sort of scheme behind this?”
“It must be a trick to lure the tiger out of the mountain. The Five Poison Sect is so sinister. They sent away the valley master and a few elders, then turned around and launched a sneak attack. They are simply despicable and shameless.”
The disciples below the stage discussed animatedly, while the elders on the stage looked extremely anxious.
“Did you manage to contact the valley master?”
The Third Elder shook his head and replied, “Perhaps the Five Poison Sect set this up on purpose to prevent us from contacting each other.”
The others’ expressions changed slightly. “I wonder what the situation is like over there. Do the valley master and the others know about the situation here?”
“I knew that the Five Poison Sect didn’t have any good intentions. So it turns out that they had this idea. The valley master and the others shouldn’t have run into trouble as well, right?”
The great elder consoled them, “Don’t panic, everyone. It’s not just the Valley of Medicine Masters who attended the birthday banquet. There will be other sects, and many powerful cultivators will gather. Even if the Five Poison Sect has evil intentions, they will not dare to act rashly.”
“As long as we persist, all problems will be solved when the valley master and the others return.”
Many people nodded and felt that what he said made sense. Their originally flustered hearts calmed down.
