Checking In at Serpent Valley, Jiuyu Qianye!

Chapter 36: Checking In at Serpent Valley, Jiuyu Qianye!

In the southwest of the Central Plains lay Serpent Valley.

It was the headquarters of the Myriad Poisons Sect.

Yet in recent days, they had been making frequent moves. Many Myriad Poisons Sect disciples had secretly been searching across the Central Plains.

Naturally, this had become known to the other major factions of the Demonic Cult—the Ghost King Sect, Joyful Union Sect, and Longevity Hall.

After all, those three Demonic Cult factions were not too far from the Myriad Poisons Sect. The four great sects each occupied a corner, restraining and confronting one another.

The other three sects merely sneered at the Myriad Poisons Sect's covert actions. They were all hoping to see the Myriad Poisons Sect suffer.

After all,

the Myriad Poisons Sect's strength vaguely surpassed those three Demonic Cult factions, and it also had the terrifying old monster known as the Poison God.

At this moment...

On a cliff outside Serpent Valley, a white-clad figure stared deep into the valley, a cold smile in his eyes.

It was Bai Ye.

Bai Ye had no intention of being so forgiving after the Myriad Poisons Sect had repeatedly tried to assassinate him.

After leaving Mount Kongsang, Bai Ye had flown on his sword all the way to Serpent Valley, the Myriad Poisons Sect's headquarters in the southwest of the Central Plains.

He had remained outside the valley for three days. Over the past few days, he had watched members of the Myriad Poisons Sect continually dispatch people in secret.

Their purpose was obvious: to find Bai Ye.

"First Old Ancestor Duanmu tried to kill me, and now there was the ambush at Mount Kongsang. Did they really think I was such an easy target?"

Bai Ye gazed at Serpent Valley, thick with poisonous creatures and dense forests, a faint smile on his face. "This valley will be your burial ground."

Just as Bai Ye was pondering this, the system's voice rang out.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host. It has been detected that you are in Serpent Valley. Would you like to activate your monthly check-in?"

"Check in!"

Hearing the long-absent system voice, Bai Ye froze for a moment before choosing to check in without hesitation.

This was his first check-in since the system update.

Bai Ye also wanted to see whether the rewards would be any different after the update.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have successfully checked in at Ten Thousand Serpents Valley."

"Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained Jiuyu Qianye."

Jiuyu Qianye: An unimaginably terrifying poison, known as "When the sun stands at its zenith, an entire city will be slaughtered." It is refined over a thousand nights and must not see even a trace of sunlight during that time. Once dripped into water, it disperses upon exposure to sunlight and spreads through the respiratory tract. The stronger the sunlight, the more potent the poison.

Note: Once exposed to light, this poison's power will instantly increase a thousandfold, even ten-thousandfold. However, the poisoned will not die immediately, instead falling into a deathlike state. If they do not receive an antidote within twelve hours, they will never awaken.

Upon hearing the name Jiuyu Qianye and the system's explanation, Bai Ye was shaken.

Good heavens!

This was the first time the system had given him a deadly poison through a check-in!

And it was a poison as terrifying as Jiuyu Qianye. It took effect silently and invisibly; the hotter the sun, the more terrifying its toxicity. It truly killed without leaving a trace!

Thinking of Jiuyu Qianye, Bai Ye suddenly came up with an excellent idea.

If he secretly slipped Jiuyu Qianye into the Myriad Poisons Sect, the entire sect would likely be thrown into chaos tomorrow.

At that thought, a cold glint flashed across Bai Ye's face.

Since they wanted to kill him, they could not blame him!

As the sun set and night was about to fall, Bai Ye smiled faintly. Then his figure flashed as he charged straight into the dense forest of the poison valley.

At night, Serpent Valley became a place where poisonous creatures roamed freely. Even Myriad Poisons Sect disciples had to be extremely careful around the poisonous creatures in the valley.

It was a natural barrier, blocking outsiders while also ensuring that the Myriad Poisons Sect's own people did not dare let down their guard.

Whoosh!

At the same time, a figure moved stealthily through the dense forest of Serpent Valley. It was Bai Ye.

Along the way, he evaded one Myriad Poisons Sect defensive line after another. After proceeding with utmost caution, he finally caught sight of the Myriad Poisons Sect's headquarters.

It was a vast basin unlike the rest of Serpent Valley. Halls stood in rows, security was tight, and even the air was pervaded by a faint poisonous mist.

This was the Myriad Poisons Sect!

Outside the Myriad Poisons Sect.

"Did you hear? We lost dozens of Myriad Poisons Sect members just dealing with some junior from the Qingyun Sect?!"

"Who in the sect doesn't know about it? Even the Sect Leader and several elders were enraged. They swore to kill that Qingyun Sect brat."

"They were all useless. They all died against some Qingyun junior!"

"Exactly! They've disgraced the Myriad Poisons Sect!"

"We've sent out plenty of disciples to search for that Qingyun brat, but there's still no trace of him. Who knows where that guy is hiding?"

"The most dangerous place is the safest place. Do you think that guy might have come to our Myriad Poisons Sect?"

"..."

Hearing the Myriad Poisons Sect disciples' words, an unusual glint appeared in Bai Ye's eyes.

You're a little too clever. You've already earned your death!

Bai Ye also realized that the Myriad Poisons Sect truly hated him to the bone. That meant he no longer had any reservations about making his move.

Bai Ye's figure gradually vanished from where he stood.

Bai Ye's concealment technique was exceptional. Although these Myriad Poisons Sect disciples were not weak, there was no way they could detect him.

After moving stealthily for a while, Bai Ye arrived at the Myriad Poisons Sect's central core.

It was a massive lake, the water source for all Myriad Poisons Sect disciples. Numerous branches extended from the lake, leading to every part of the Myriad Poisons Sect.

Dropping Jiuyu Qianye here would deal the Myriad Poisons Sect a devastating blow.

Without hesitation, Bai Ye took out Jiuyu Qianye. Drops of colorless, odorless liquid, like droplets of water, fell into the lake.

"Looks like there'll be a good show tomorrow!"

With that, Bai Ye prepared to leave.

"Stop!"

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

A dignified voice rang out, followed by a terrifying bloody aura.

Had he been discovered?!

A smile curled across Bai Ye's lips. He did not answer, his figure flashing as he headed straight out of the Myriad Poisons Sect.

Whoosh!

"Bastard! You're not from the Myriad Poisons Sect!"

As soon as those words fell, Bloodfiend Ancestor flew into a rage. His body transformed into a streak of blood-red light as he gave chase.

One ahead and one behind, the two of them arrived deep within the sparsely populated poison valley.

"Quite bold, aren't you?"

"You dared sneak into my Myriad Poisons Sect. Just who are you?"

Whoosh!

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

Bloodfiend Ancestor's figure slowly emerged. His face was incomparably gloomy as he stared at Bai Ye, who stood atop a towering tree with a smile on his face.
