Seven Peaks Council, Tian Buyi's Discovery! (Still Reading? What Do You Want to Read?)

Myriad Poisons Sect.

One of the Demonic Cult's four great factions.

In the eight hundred years since Blood Refining Hall's decline, the Myriad Poisons Sect had surged to become the Demonic Cult's foremost faction.

Moreover, the Myriad Poisons Sect had always stood apart within the Demonic Cult. Its cultivation methods almost all relied on various strange poisons, and its experts were virtually all masters of poison. Its Sect Leader, Poison God, was an old monster who had cultivated for many years and possessed profound Daoist Techniques.

"Myriad Poisons Sect!"

Upon hearing this, Dao Xuan's expression darkened slightly.

Poison God's name was enough to strike fear into the hearts of all who wandered the martial world.

Even Dao Xuan himself harbored some wariness toward that old monster who had lived for centuries.

"The Demonic Path cultivator hiding among us must be thoroughly investigated. Even if we have to turn Qingyun Sect upside down, we must find him."

After a pause, Tian Buyi said grimly, "As for the Myriad Poisons Sect, even they cannot simply enter Qingyun Sect as they please. Do they really think Poison God can stand against Qingyun Sect?!"

"Senior Brother Sect Leader, why not take this opportunity to gather the sect's disciples and blunt the Myriad Poisons Sect's edge?"

Hearing Tian Buyi's words, the other Head Seats present showed glints of unusual light in their eyes as they turned their gazes toward Dao Xuan.

The fact that the Myriad Poisons Sect had entered Qingyun Sect was indisputable. Even Old Monster Duanmu's corpse lay here.

No matter what the Myriad Poisons Sect's purpose was, Qingyun Sect could not simply let this go.

Otherwise, would the other Demonic Cult factions not truly take Qingyun Sect for a soft target? Would anyone be able to stroll through Qingyun Sect whenever they pleased?

Did they take Qingyun Sect for a marketplace?!

"No!"

Before Dao Xuan could speak, Daoist Cang Song, the Longshou Peak Head Seat who had remained silent all this while, spoke up.

At this, the many Head Seats turned their gazes toward Cang Song.

"Senior Brother Cang Song, could it be that you are afraid? I certainly never saw you this timid when dealing with our own people!"

Tian Buyi looked at Daoist Cang Song and spoke without any courtesy.

Hmph!

Daoist Cang Song snorted coldly, then turned his gaze to Dao Xuan. "Senior Brother Sect Leader, the Myriad Poisons Sect is no weak force, and Poison God's reputation is formidable."

"Although Qingyun Sect does not fear the Myriad Poisons Sect, if we make a move against them, we may provoke the wariness of the Ghost King Sect, Longevity Hall, and Joyful Union Sect."

"If they join forces, the situation will be greatly unfavorable to Qingyun Sect."

Hearing Cang Song's words, even Dao Xuan fell into thought.

The Head Seats of the other peaks also nodded slightly. The Myriad Poisons Sect alone was powerful, but Qingyun Sect absolutely had the strength to destroy them.

However, if they truly drew a joint assault from the other major Demonic Cult forces, Qingyun Sect would be in serious trouble.

Thinking of this, the several Head Seats present all showed grave expressions.

This truly was a difficult matter to handle.

If they moved against the Myriad Poisons Sect, they would likely invite the hostility of the other major factions.

Though the Demonic Cult's major factions were also at odds with one another, once a third-party force intervened, they would likely unite directly and join forces against Qingyun Sect.

"Are we just going to let this go?!"

Grandmaster Shuiyue's cool voice rang out.

"Junior Shui Yue, we are not shrinking back. We are considering Qingyun Sect's thousand-year legacy!" Daoist Cang Song said in a deep voice.

"If we directly go to war with the Myriad Poisons Sect over this matter, it would clearly be inappropriate."

"Though we do not know why the Myriad Poison Sect and another Demonic Cult force suddenly entered Qingyun Sect this time, the good news is that Qingyun Sect has not suffered any losses in personnel or interests, has it?"

Hearing this, Tian Buyi wanted to say something, but ultimately held his tongue.

Because he had already seen Dao Xuan nod.

Clearly, Dao Xuan had also accepted Cang Song's opinion and did not support declaring war directly on the Myriad Poisons Sect at this time.

"I believe Junior Brother Cang Song is right. This is not the time to act against the Myriad Poisons Sect. If this causes the other Demonic Cult forces to unite, it will be even worse for the Orthodox Path of the Central Plains."

Looking at Tian Buyi and the others, Dao Xuan finally spoke.

"Although we do not know why the Myriad Poisons Sect and that other demon entered Qingyun Sect, it is clearly nothing good."

"Head Seats, after returning, thoroughly investigate all areas within the sect. If you discover any trace of the Myriad Poisons Sect or that hidden demon, kill them without mercy."

As Dao Xuan spoke, the Head Seats of the other peaks nodded slightly.

The Orthodox Path and the Demonic Path were almost irreconcilable enemies.

Now that Demonic Path cultivators had appeared within Qingyun Sect's territory, they naturally had to be found completely. Otherwise, there would be tremendous danger.

And while no one was paying attention, Cang Song Head Seat's expression flickered with a trace of something unusual. His gaze fell upon the corpses of Old Monster Duanmu and the other four, and confusion appeared in his eyes.

What exactly happened?

How had Old Monster Duanmu actually died just like that!

Had he been killed by someone from the Demonic Path? Could it have been one of his enemies, or an enemy of the Myriad Poisons Sect?

"Head Seat Tianyun, take people and conduct a full investigation throughout Qingyun Sect's territory."

Dao Xuan looked toward Tianyun Daoist, then added, "Also thoroughly search the area for dozens of li beyond Qingyun Sect."

"That Demonic Path cultivator has likely already left Qingyun Sect's territory."

"Understood!" Tianyun Daoist nodded, then departed directly.

"Junior Zeng, take people to inspect the defenses throughout Qingyun. At the same time, strengthen the guards. We absolutely cannot allow Demonic Path cultivators to appear within Qingyun Sect again."

Dao Xuan then turned to Zeng Shuchang.

Zeng Shuchang nodded slightly, then rose upon his sword and transformed into a streak of sword light as he departed.

As for the remaining Head Seats, Dao Xuan instructed them to strengthen the management of their disciples and ensure no accidents occurred. After all, the Demonic Path cultivator who had left might still be hiding within Qingyun Sect.

This meeting of the Seven Peaks Head Seats thus came to an end.

Tian Buyi, meanwhile, walked over to Old Monster Duanmu's corpse and stared at the body that had been severed at the waist.

This attack seemed strangely familiar to him.

A moment later, Tian Buyi's expression jolted, and a glint of something unusual appeared in his eyes.

Without saying anything more.

After taking one deep look at Old Monster Duanmu's corpse, Tian Buyi mounted his sword and left Tongtian Peak, flying straight toward Dazhu Peak.

Before long, Tian Buyi arrived once more at the mountain range where Old Monster Duanmu and the others had been found. Looking at the countless towering trees that had been cleaved clean through by a ferocious sword aura—

The doubt and disbelief in Tian Buyi's eyes eventually turned into a sigh. Then, he left once more.
