Chapter 1097: Chapter 266: Turand: How Can You Be This Strong
“As for what he mentioned about the Holy Master’s lineage, it suggests that their Sect Hierarch might be a descendant of Demon Lord Chiyou.”
Chen Jie listened to this and looked at Zhao Ya, surprised to find the little girl so clear-minded.
Zhao Ya said, “This Chang Chun Skill of yours is indeed impressive, but in the Miao Territory, your Martial Arts are forbidden; it’s best not to use them if you can avoid it.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, “Hmm, you’re right.”
The two were about to run, but suddenly a sinister and hateful voice rang out: “Chen Jiusi!”
Chen Jie froze, who else would know his name here?
As he thought this, Chen Jie abruptly turned his head and saw an old wrinkled face, just like a Shar-Pei!
Chen Jie was dumbfounded, Elder Gou?
Indeed, it was that old dog from the Zoroastrian Sect, Elder Quan among the Twelve Elders, whom Chen Jie referred to as Elder Gou.
Elder Quan was now following an elder from the Miao Territory, looking this way.
The Miao elder glanced at Turand lying in a pool of blood, and his complexion changed: “Turand!”
Then his face immediately turned grim: “You outsider, you dare to kill our Sect’s protector!”
Hearing these words, Chen Jie, also looked at the elder, and Elder Quan said to Chen Jie: “Chen Jiusi, you indeed have guts, daring to kill the Five Poison Sect’s protector. Let me introduce, this is the Scorpion Sect Elder, Elder Xie!”
“The one you killed was his beloved disciple.”
Elder Quan spoke as if enjoying the spectacle: “Chen Jiusi, you are truly daring, provoking anyone you please!”
Chen Jie heard this, and his face immediately turned grim. This was truly a case of misfortune after misfortune, encountering two mortal enemies all at once.
There’s no need to mention Elder Gou, who he had offended terribly in Huangzhou Prefecture, almost to the point of death. If it weren’t for Han Miaozhen’s rescue, he would now be dismembered.
Later, Elder Gou even wanted to kill him, but it was Ni Wenjun who resolved the situation for him.
Thus, Elder Quan truly harbored the deepest grudge against him, wishing to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin.
And the other one was from the Five Poison Sect, the Scorpion Sect Elder, with Turand being Elder Xie’s disciple. Killing the disciple would certainly result in an unending fight to the death.
Moreover, the strength of these two should be at the Dragon Realm level, while he himself was now at the Rainbow Realm. To use Rainbow Realm against Dragon Realm was like lighting a lamp in the toilet—searching for (shit) death.
Chen Jie thought, overwhelmed.
Meanwhile, Elder Quan saw Zhao Ya and suddenly his smile grew even wider.
At this moment, Elder Quan said to Elder Xie: “Elder Xie, today really is a stroke of luck for us.”
Elder Xie kept a dark face, his expression quite unpleasant.
After all, today his disciple had just died, and now he’s being told that today is a stroke of luck—what kind of stroke of luck, where is it?
Elder Quan said: “Did you see that person beside Chen Jiusi?”
Elder Xie said: “I see, what’s the matter?”
Elder Quan said: “The daughter of the Ruyang King from the Daqian Court, the Princess Xiangning conferred by the late emperor.”
Hmm!
Upon hearing this, Elder Xie’s eyes lit up suddenly, an Imperial Princess!
This really was a stroke of luck!
To explain why Elder Quan ended up in the Five Poison Sect, one must start with the Great War in Central Plains.
The Great War in Central Plains ended with the death of Zoroastrian Sect’s Ming King Han Shantong, yet it left the Daqian Court severely hurt, with State Preceptor Basiba Living Buddha losing an arm.
This directly shattered his undefeated image.
It also revealed the court’s weakness to the heroes of the world, prompting those with ambition to strive for power, including the Five Poison Sect.
As a pioneer in the world, the Zoroastrian Sect directly took charge of righteousness, being the first wave of uprising, akin to Chen Sheng and Wu Guang of the Qin Dynasty, with later uprisings bearing their banner.
With the name of first uprising, the Zoroastrian Sect sent its members to gather those willing to discuss major affairs, thus looking to unite people from all corners.
Just at the right moment, Wu Mu’s Legacy scattered by Han Shantong’s essence fell upon the Five Poison Sect’s territory.
The Zoroastrian Sect discussed and sent Han Miaozhen with Elder Quan to the south again, to unite with the Five Poison Sect against the court.
Today, Elder Quan was discussing with the Scorpion Sect’s elder when he heard noise echoes in the Mysterious Cave.
Moreover, today Turand had reported someone escaping, leading Elder Xie to come down for inspection, and during this, Elder Quan wanted to see the renowned Five Poison Mysterious Cave of the Five Poison Sect.
Thus, they came along.
Then they witnessed the scene just now.
At this moment, Elder Xie looked at the two people in front, his eyes full of murderous intent—a court princess, captured, perfect for negotiating with the court.
And the conditions of the Miao people were simple, to have autonomy over the entire Xiang Land.
This condition, the Zoroastrian Sect had promised that if they seized the world, the Mother Gu of the Five Poison Sect would be appointed as Prince Xiang, governing the entire Xiang Land.
This instantly excited Elder Xie.
Though the death of his disciple made him sad, capturing a court princess was indeed a great achievement, making today’s emotions really difficult to manage.
However, Elder Quan was very excited, exceedingly joyous today.
Firstly, capturing a court princess, holding such a trump card, would force the Ruyang King to consider this matter cautiously, eventually agreeing to some unequal treaties—this was what they most wanted to see.
Then there was Chen Jiusi.
This Chen Jiusi, he truly hated to the core.
He almost died at the hands of the youngster, turning the matter into a heartache, according to his vengeful nature, he should have long skinned him alive to ease his heart’s resentment.
