377 The Five Poison Sect Suddenly Visited

This invitation was personally sent by the Second Elder of the Five Poison Sect, Yu Xiongjun. His status was second only to the Great Elder Zhou Hong. The Valley of Medicine Masters did not dare to neglect this, so someone was immediately sent to report this to the higher-ups.

Yao Tianchen was a little surprised when he heard the news. He asked, “Why would the Five Poison Sect send me an invitation?”

The other elders also felt that it was strange. Someone suggested, “Could it be that he’s using the excuse of sending an invitation to find trouble with us?”

But if that was the case, Zhou Hong should be the one making an appearance. How could it be Yu Xiongjun?

The relationship between the two sects was not good. It could be said that they were like fire and water. The only thing missing was that they had not crossed the thin line that was keeping the peace. Moreover, with Zhou Sheng’s death a few days ago, the Valley of Medicine Masters had always been on guard against the Five Poison Sect coming to find trouble.

The Third Elder suggested, “He comes harboring bad intentions. Why don’t we just not meet them? Let them leave on their own.”

“We can’t do that. If we act rashly before we figure it out, we’ll give the Five Poison Sect an excuse. The next time they visit us, it won’t be as simple as it is now.”

“Things have already come to this. I don’t know what the Five Poison Sect is thinking.”

Yao Tianchen pondered for a moment and said, “No matter what, let’s go and see what they are up to.”

Since the Five Poison Sect had not taken the initiative to make trouble, it proved that there was still room for maneuver in this matter. It would naturally be better if they could keep the peace.

The old man in the hall had a kind face and a peaceful aura, giving people a warm feeling. Behind him stood a few disciples of the Five Poison Sect, as if this was just a normal visit.

Yu Xiongjun sat in the seat of the second elder of the Five Poison Sect. He was not a kind person. When he saw Yao Tianchen’s arrival, he immediately greeted him warmly. Those who did not know would think that the Five Poison Sect and the Valley of Medicine Masters had a good relationship.

“I hope our sudden visit didn’t disturb you, Valley Master.”

As the saying goes, do not slap a smiling face. It was not good for Yao Tianchen to keep a cold expression. He still had to put on a show and give a pleasant smile. He asked, “May I know why Second Elder has come to the Valley of Medicine Masters? ”

“I’m here on behalf of the Five Poison Sect to deliver an invitation to the Valley of Medicine Masters.”

Yao Tianchen looked at the black invitation that he handed over but did not accept it immediately. Who knew if there was some kind of scheme behind this?

The relationship between the two sects was so bad. If they accepted the invitation and went there, wouldn’t they be entering the lions’ den and would never make it out alive?

What was more, this was a trap set by the Five Poison Sect. An inescapable net had been set up long ago, and they were just waiting for them to fall into it.

“The personal relationship between our two sects has always been shallow. I’m afraid that your sending of this invitation is somewhat against the rules, Elder Yu.”

Facing Yao Tianchen’s suspicion, Yu Xiongjun did not feel embarrassed and only laughed.

“Valley Master may not know, but our ancestor has already come out of seclusion. After hearing about the matter with your sect, he felt that there was some misunderstanding and wanted to reconcile with your sect. Since it happens to be our ancestor’s birthday, we can take this opportunity to bury the hatchet. I wonder if the Valley of Medicine Masters would do us the honor.”

Even so, Yao Tianchen didn’t believe it. This didn’t seem like the Five Poison Sect’s style. If they were really so magnanimous, their reputation wouldn’t be so bad. Who didn’t know that the Five Poison Sect’s people would seek revenge for the smallest grievance and use vicious methods?

“I understand your concerns, Valley Master. Previously, there was a bit of a hiccup with the Great Elder, but that was only a personal matter and should not be raised to the level of a sect, to avoid breaking our peace and harmony. As soon as the ancestor came out of seclusion, he ordered Great Elder to reflect on his mistakes in seclusion and asked me to come to the Valley of Medicine Masters to give a proper apology.”

Yu Xiongjun was very sincere, and his attitude was extremely humble. If it wasn’t for the previous matter, Yao Tianchen might have agreed to attend the banquet. However, no matter how he looked at it, this matter wasn’t that simple.

“I hope that you can give us a chance, Valley Master. If the two sects can live in harmony and bury the hatchet, it would be great.”

No matter what the Five Poison Sect was planning, Yao Tianchen still chose to reject it to be on the safe side. He said, “Thank you for your sect’s ancestor’s good intentions. We will prepare the birthday gift, but there is no need for us to attend the birthday banquet.”

“Valley Master, I’m afraid that you don’t know this, not only is the Valley of Medicine Masters, but all the major sects will also be attending to congratulate the ancestor’s birthday. Are you going to refuse?”

Yu Xiongjun, however, would not give up until he achieved his goal. He was not annoyed by Yao Tianchen’s repeated rejections.

Yu Xiongjun only sighed, “I originally thought that you are a broad-minded person who did not care about trifles, Valley Master. Even though there were many unpleasant things that happened before, we have sincerely apologized. In the end, you still refuse to forgive us.”

“The enmity between our two sects is not conducive to long-term development. Valley Master should understand such a major right and wrong principle, or do you need our ancestor to personally invite your sect before you will agree?”

His words had already blocked all of Yao Tianchen’s paths of retreat. If they still refused, they would appear to be unable to tell good from bad.

Although Yu Xiongjun’s words were gentle, his words were firm and didn’t give anyone a chance to refuse. He was indeed a difficult person to deal with, Yao Tianchen sighed inwardly.

If only the Valley of Medicine Masters had participated, the Five Poison Sect might have really made a move in secret. But by inviting so many sects, even if the Five Poison Sect really had evil intentions, they would have to think twice.

They couldn’t really become enemies with all the sects, right?

If Ye Xuan was here, he would definitely tell Yao Tianchen that the Five Poison Sect really dared to do so.

“We’ll think about it.”

This time, Yao Tianchen did not immediately refuse and his attitude seemed to have softened. Yu Xiongjun smiled, “I knew Valley Master is a man of character. The Five Poison Sect will be waiting for the Valley of Medicine Masters’ grand arrival.”

After saying this, he didn’t give Yao Tianchen any time to refute it and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he said, “It’s going to be the ancestor’s birthday soon. I still have to go back and prepare for things related to it, so I won’t stay here for long. When you come, Valley Master, I’ll definitely accompany you.”
