"Is he your senior brother?" Huang Xiao asked after Sun Bang left.
"What damned senior brother?" Xu Yan said, curling her lip.
"Junior sister, is that any way to speak to our martial uncle?" Li Yuncong rebuked Xu Yan, then said, "By order of joining the sect, Sun Bang is indeed our senior brother. It's just that he's so sinister and vicious that our fellow disciples in the valley don't much care for him."
"Sinister and vicious?" Huang Xiao was rather curious. In his eyes, Li Yuncong and Xu Yan were already frightening enough. Everyone from Poison God Valley was frightening to him; after all, they possessed all manner of poison techniques and deadly, exotic poisons. Yet even the valley's disciples considered Sun Bang sinister and vicious. Just how vicious did that make him?
"He's a freak!" Xu Yan muttered.
"A freak? How so?" Huang Xiao asked.
"Martial uncle, don't listen to junior sister's nonsense. The cultivation method Sun Bang practices is different from what most of us practice. He practices a supreme art called Power-Devouring Poison Force," Li Yuncong said.
"Power-Devouring Poison Force? Is it one of the sect's supreme arts? You didn't mention it when you introduced some of the sect's supreme arts to me just now," Huang Xiao asked curiously.
"That cultivation method is formidable. Just thinking about it makes my hair stand on end," Xu Yan said.
"Although Power-Devouring Poison Force is one of the sect's supreme arts, exceptionally few people in the sect practice it. I've heard that apart from Sun Bang, the only other person in the sect who practices it is one of the five grand elders, and he was the one who created it," Li Yuncong said.
"From what you've said, this cultivation method must be incomparably powerful, then?" Huang Xiao asked.
