"Huh? It's you!" Li Xiaoya exclaimed when he saw the cultivator.
"Hmm? You know me?" The middle-aged cultivator paused in surprise.
"I wouldn't say that," Li Xiaoya replied coldly, sweeping his gaze over the group. All eight were Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. The strongest was not the middle-aged cultivator, but one of the Masked Cultivators standing silently at the back, who had actually reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. Li Xiaoya hardly considered them a threat. If a fight broke out, he and Dong Santong might even have the upper hand. "Why are you people from the Five Poisons Sect blocking our way?"
"Hmph! Jiatian Kingdom is our Five Poisons Sect's territory, after all. You've been wandering around here for over a year without so much as a word to us. Isn't that a little unreasonable?" the middle-aged cultivator said, his expression unfriendly.
"Oh! Does the Five Poisons Sect have a rule like that? We have to pay you a formal visit just to take a stroll through this wretched place? Even the Fire Dragon Palace doesn't have that privilege, does it?" Dong Santong drawled mockingly, his face full of disdain.
"Hmph! Don't compare our Five Poisons Sect to the Fire Dragon Palace!" another young cultivator with a purplish complexion snapped. He looked ready to attack, but the middle-aged cultivator stopped him. After looking Li Xiaoya and Dong Santong up and down, the middle-aged cultivator suddenly showed a trace of astonishment. "Hmph! I was wondering who could be so arrogant! So you're cultivators from the Heavenly Dao Sect!"
"People from the Heavenly Dao Sect?" The Five Poisons Sect cultivators behind him exclaimed, then began whispering among themselves.
"What are people from the Heavenly Dao Sect doing in the Poison Forest?"
"Exactly!"
"Could they be impostors?"
"...!"
