"According to what you said, you don't approve of this son becoming my disciple, Wanfa Sect." When the discussion in the hall slowly quieted down, the middle-aged man on the throne spoke.

"This son is Poison Cultivator. I hope the sect leader will think twice before taking action." After the elder named Hai said this expressionlessly, he closed his eyes and rested.

In fact, Luo Mu is just a small Qi Refining Stage monk. Logically speaking, if he becomes a disciple of the Wanfa Sect, a deacon can handle the matter. As for why Wanfa Sect's senior officials take it so seriously, it is entirely because this matter involves too much.

What happened to Blood-Colored Valley three years ago was a big shock to the senior officials of the Wanfa Sect. An elder in the late Golden Core stage, plus the disciples who came to support and the students of the Jinxiu Academy, all died silently in Blood-Colored Valley. It is impossible for the senior officials of the Wanfa Sect not to pay attention to such a big event.

So far, except for Luo Mu, no Jinxiu Academy student has used the token from three years ago to join Wanfa Sect. This shows that, except for Luo Mu, all other Jinxiu Academy students have probably fallen to Blood-Colored Valley.

Their fall is likely to be related to other forces.

That's why when they learned that someone came to worship Wanfa Sect with the token issued to the Jinxiu Academy three years ago, these Wanfa Sect elders and sect leaders took it so seriously.

"After the fall of Elder Liu, I went to Blood-Colored Valley to investigate. In a place deep in the valley, I found strong fluctuations of demonic energy. The strength of the demonic energy made me feel frightened. If my guess is correct, Elder Liu must have fallen there."

The middle-aged man spoke, and all the other elders consciously kept their mouths shut. The middle-aged man then took the initiative to bring up the incident of Blood-Colored Valley three years ago.

"Even so, what does it have to do with this son joining us Wanfa Sect?" An elder asked with confusion on his face as he didn't understand why the middle-aged man would mention this matter at this time.

The other elders also nodded, and they also didn't understand what the middle-aged man was thinking.

"Is it because Fire Worship Sect? Blood-Colored Valley is located only a few hundred miles away from the Fire Worship Sect's main altar. With Liu Zhang's late cultivation of Lao Jindan, he actually fell. If it falls on Blood-Colored Valley, it is most likely done by the elders of the Fire Worship Sect. Does the sect leader think that this son is probably a spy sent by the Fire Worship Sect?"

Suddenly, a bright light flashed in the eyes of an elder, and he lost his voice with a slightly shocked tone.

As soon as these words came out, the elders who had just calmed down became excited again, and they all felt that this matter was very possible.

"We don't rule out the possibility, but there is one thing you haven't thought of, and that is Black Horn Region!" The middle-aged man tapped his fingers on the handguard on the chair, frowned, and said in a serious tone.

"Black Horn Region!" The expressions of all the elders in the hall changed slightly. Even the elder Hai, who had closed his eyes to meditate, opened his eyes, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

Mentioning Black Horn Region caused the expressions of all the elders in the hall to change.

Black Horn Region is hundreds of miles away from Blood-Colored Valley. The reason why all the elders change their expressions when mentioning this place is because although this place is close to the boundary of the Wanfa Sect, it does not belong to the Wanfa Sect.

Not only that, this Black Horn Region does not belong to the five righteous forces of Southern Peaks, nor any of the three Demonic Sect sects. It is not that these sects of the good and evil factions do not want to bring Black Horn Region under their own sects, but want to take over this place. The price is quite huge, so so far, no sect has ever thought of Black Horn Region.

Black Horn Region does not occupy a large area, but the number of monks is huge, and most of them are high-level monks. Low-level monks are rarely seen. But these monks do not belong to Black Horn Region, but monks from all over Southern Peaks. They come to Black Horn Region just to exchange or buy various needs for their own cultivation through various channels.

Black Horn Region is also called Chaos Region. Not only are righteous monks buying and selling in this place, but also monks from the Demonic Sect can be seen everywhere. Because of this, there are big and small battles every day in Black Horn Region, most of which are between monks from the good and evil camps.

Of course, those who belong to the same camp will also sell them in Black Horn Region for the sake of some interests.

Different from other cities, monks are not prohibited from fighting in Black Horn Region. Instead, they are greatly encouraged by the official power. Fighting in Black Horn Region is allowed, but the prerequisite is that you must have Spirit Stone to fight. As long as you can compensate twice the normal price for the loss, Black Horn Region's official force will not pursue it. Without Spirit Stone, you would still dare to make a big move in Black Horn Region.

Then there is only one consequence, and that is death!

It is precisely because of the chaos in Black Horn Region that monks can buy many things in Black Horn Region that cannot be sold openly, and there are many things that cannot be bought outside Spirit Stone. If you are lucky, you can meet them one after another in Black Horn Region.

Black Horn Region is able to attract both good and evil monks to live in the same city entirely because of this reason.

Black Horn Region has existed for a long time. Over the years, many sect forces have had the idea of Black Horn Region and want to bring Black Horn Region under their own sect. For this reason, many sects and Black Horn Region's official power have taken great action.

But in the end, it was Black Horn Region who won. Even the five Southern Peaks sects and the three Demonic Sect sects did not gain any benefit in the hands of Black Horn Region.

Due to the unfathomable strength of the domain lord himself, and the many powerful high-level monks under him, forming a powerful force, Black Horn Region was established as a city-like existence, and the Black Horn Region position was firmly secured, and no sect dared to provoke it.

Until now, Black Horn Region is known to everyone in Southern Peaks's major sects. It is a place that other monks love and fear.

It is precisely because of Black Horn Region's reputation that when the middle-aged man mentioned Black Horn Region, the expressions of the elders in the hall became like this.

"Could it be that the sect leader is guessing that the fall of Elder Liu is likely to be related to Black Horn Region?" An elder hesitated for a moment and said in an uncertain tone.

The other elders also looked at each other, with different expressions on their faces for a while. If this matter is really related to Black Horn Region, then this matter will be really troublesome.

The middle-aged man nodded and then said, "I am just guessing that Blood-Colored Valley, Fire Worship Sect and Black Horn Region are only a few hundred miles apart. Elder Liu is very likely. It fell into the hands of the Fire Worship Sect high-level monks, but Black Horn Region cannot rule out the suspicion. Don't forget, Black Horn Region monks who practice magic are even more vicious than Fire Worship Sect."

"Besides, there is a place of Poison Miasma Forest in the direction from Blood-Colored Valley to Black Horn Region. The poisonous fruit 'Green Gauze Fruit' that grows there is the main medicinal material for refining Foundation Establishment pills. Many of the 'Green Gauze Fruit' that we Wanfa Sect use to refine Foundation Establishment pills come from that patch of Poison Miasma Forest." After a pause, the middle-aged man spoke again.

When the words reached this level, all the elders in the hall seemed to understand something.

"Could it be that the sect master means that it is very likely that he is a high-level monk from Black Horn Region, who coveted my Poison Miasma Forest's 'Green Gauze Fruit', and then inadvertently got involved with me?" Blood-Colored Valley bumped into Elder Liu when he was on a mission, and he took action, so Elder Liu fell?" An elder's face changed and he said.

"I think this possibility is unlikely. Although Green Gauze Fruit is the main medicinal material for refining Foundation Establishment pills, there are many Southern Peaks in the place where Green Gauze Fruit is produced, so its value is greatly reduced. Although that Poison Miasma Forest belongs to me Wanfa Sect One of the main sources of Green Gauze Fruit, but for some Green Gauze Fruit, I think the high-level monks of Black Horn Region will not fight to the death with our high-level monks of the Wanfa Sect."

Another elder shook his head, obviously not agreeing with what the previous elder said.

"Elder Cheng is right. We know the strength of Elder Liu very well. Although he is only at the late stage of Jindan, he has several extremely powerful Law Treasure in his hands. Not to mention the high-level monks who are powerful against the Nascent Soul Realm, but it is not difficult to escape from them. It can kill Elder Liu. The existence of is at least the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul Realm. When one has reached such a level of cultivation, one can imagine how terrible his net worth is. Let alone Green Gauze Fruit, even if it is the finished Foundation Establishment pill, it is not difficult to get some of it. There is no need to offend us Wanfa Sect for some Green Gauze Fruit."

Hearing this, the other elders nodded, thinking that it made sense.

"Okay, actually this is all my own speculation. It turns out that Elder Liu has been dead for three years. We have also been investigating for three years, but we don't have the slightest clue. So don't talk more about this matter. The main reason why I mentioned Poison Miasma Forest is because of that kid just now."

The middle-aged man waved his hand, and the elders in the hall had to shut their mouths no matter how intense the discussion was. After everyone calmed down, the middle-aged man said this.

"For that kid just now?" An elder frowned and asked in confusion.

"Yes, Foundation Establishment Dan is the foundation for improving the strength of my Wanfa Sect low-level disciples. Every Qi Refining Stage monk is promoted to the Foundation Establishment Realm. For us Wanfa Sect, that is a manifestation of the increase in strength, so everyone understands the importance of Foundation Establishment Dan to us Wanfa Sect."

"Because the area of Poison Miasma Forest is covered by a large amount of poisonous mist, the spiritual energy within a few miles of Poison Miasma Forest as the center is terrifyingly thin, which is not suitable for monks to practice at all. It is difficult for any monk who practices there to make any progress. This As a result, for so many years, we have only sent some disciples of the Foundation Establishment Realm to guard Poison Miasma Forest within a few miles, and we have to change a group of disciples every once in a while, because it is a real hard job."

"Even if we do this, there will still be some small groups who quietly break the magic circle we have set up, sneak into Poison Miasma Forest secretly, steal Green Gauze Fruit, and cause a lot of damage to us Wanfa Sect The loss. And we Wanfa Sect's disciples guarding Poison Miasma Forest are far away from Poison Miasma Forest, so they are simply impossible to guard against. This matter has given me a headache for several years."

The middle-aged man rubbed his forehead and said with a sad look on his face.

"The boy just now was Poison Cultivator, and what the sect leader meant..."

"That's right! This child is originally Poison Cultivator. The poisonous energy in Poison Miasma Forest should have little impact on him. Let him enter Poison Miasma Forest and guard this place. That would be the best."

"However, if Poison Cultivator wants to improve his strength and enhance the Poison Spirit Power in his body, he also needs to take Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy into his body first, and then convert it. If this child is allowed to be inside Poison Miasma Forest, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to improve his cultivation in the future."

For a time, the hall became lively again.

"Okay! Be quiet!" The middle-aged man shouted coldly, and all the elders shut their mouths again. They were very afraid of this seemingly middle-aged sect leader, except for the elder named Hai.

The hall became quiet again!

After sweeping a cold look at the elders in the hall, the middle-aged man snorted coldly, and then slowly said, "Once this son becomes a disciple of my Wanfa Sect, it will have some impact on the reputation of our Wanfa Sect. If you don't pay a little, how can you do it..."

(The signing of the contract was rejected again. It seems that I can only wait for 500,000 words before signing)
