Yao Tianchen nodded his head and replied, “I believe you.”
Judging from how Li Mao risked his life alone to rescue those disciples, he was definitely a decent person.
Moreover, he also knew what Zhou Sheng’s death meant. It would undoubtedly make the situation of the Valley of Medicine Masters more difficult. Therefore, he would never do such a thing.
Zhou Sheng’s current outcome could only be said to be due to the cycle of heaven and earth and karma.
The most important thing now was that it was useless for Yao Tianchen to believe it. Those people from the Five Poison Sect would never believe it and would definitely pin Zhou Sheng’s death on the Valley of Medicine Masters.
Yao Tianchen sighed, “I’m afraid this matter can’t be settled peacefully anymore.”
Li Mao knelt on the ground and said guiltily, “Valley Master, please punish me. I did not handle things properly and did not consider the big picture.”
On the way back, he had already made up his mind to take the blame himself and not drag Ye Xuan down.
“How can you be blamed for this matter? The Five Poison Sect is pressing us step by step. It’s also because of that Zhou Sheng’s unforgiving attitude that we’re in this situation now.”
All of this wasn’t Li Mao’s fault, let alone Ye Xuan’s. It could only be said that fate made a fool of people.
“It seems that the heavens have destined our Valley of Medicine Masters to face this calamity.”
Yao Tianchen had a huge headache. He thought that the Five Poison Sect would soon come to question them and ask them to hand over the murderer. Although Zhou Sheng had been killed by mistake, it was still partly because of the two of them.
“Both of you go and rest first. It’s been a long night.”
Li Mao couldn’t help but said, “We wanted to destroy the corpse and get rid of all traces. We wanted to buy some time. That way, the Five Poison Sect wouldn’t immediately attack us. But we didn’t expect them to find us so quickly.”
Yao Tianchen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He said, “You even thought of destroying the corpse. You’re getting more and more daring.”
Although there was no blame in his words, Li Mao still felt a little uneasy. He said awkwardly, “Please forgive us, Valley Master. The situation was too urgent at the time, and we couldn’t think of any other good ideas in such a short time.”
This was not Li Mao’s style of doing things. If he really destroyed the corpse, what kind of person would the Valley of Medicine Masters be? This was simply making it worse. Yao Tianchen subconsciously glanced at Ye Xuan beside him.
Although he hadn’t spent much time with Ye Xuan, he always felt that Ye Xuan’s personality was more likely to do such a thing.
Ye Xuan, on the other hand, looked down.
Yao Tianchen couldn’t blame these two juniors. Even he himself couldn’t think of a better way to deal with that situation.
“Alright, don’t cause any more trouble here. If things really come to that point, the Valley of Medicine Masters would never allow the Five Poison Sect to bully and trample on us. This is not something both of you can interfere in.”
Although that was what he said, if the two sects really fought, it would be no laughing matter. Yao Tianchen had to discuss it in detail after Ye Xuan and Li Mao left.
All the elders in the valley had received orders to rush over to Yao Tianchen’s place. The disciples didn’t know what had happened, but they didn’t know that the elders had not slept for the entire night.
The disciples on night patrol were still gossiping.
“That’s strange. Did something big happen for Valley Master to gather all the elders together?”
“What else could happen? Of course, it has to do with the Five Poison Sect. I heard that there’s a huge argument going on in the hall.”
“I went to sleep after my duty yesterday. Can anyone tell me what exactly happened?”
“This matter is very complicated. When those elders came out, they didn’t look too good. Even the valley master was worried.”
“Could it be that something serious has really happened…”
After a night of discussion without any results, Yao Tianchen had already sent people to watch the Five Poison Sect’s movements. If there was anything strange, they were to immediately report back.
Unexpectedly, it was calm on the Five Poison Sect’s side.
According to Yao Tianchen’s plan, if Zhou Hong found out that his son was dead, he would immediately come to the Valley of Medicine Masters and look for trouble. After all, Zhou Hong had made such a big scene when Zhou Sheng was blind in one eye. Now, Zhou Sheng even lost his life…
The first day passed without a scratch, and the second day was also quiet. Even Yao Tianchen found it a little strange. Their way of doing things was truly unlike the Five Poison Sect. 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m
“Could it be that he saw Zhou Sheng’s body and knew that he killed himself? That’s why he didn’t come to us looking for trouble.”
As soon as the Fifth Elder said this, everyone looked at him as if they were looking at a fool.
“Do you even believe your own words?”
Not to mention how outrageous this was, even if this was the truth, Zhou Hong would also vent his anger on others, and the Valley of Medicine Masters would definitely bear the brunt of it.
The Five Poison Sect did not make any moves and bided their time, while the Valley of Medicine Masters was rather uneasy.
The scariest thing was this kind of enemy, who didn’t make any movements on the surface but was brewing a bigger scheme in the dark. When the day came that you couldn’t guard against it, they would attack harshly. If they fought each other openly, the Valley of Medicine Masters might still have a chance of winning, but they couldn’t win against the Five Poison Sect’s schemes and intrigues.
Yao Tianchen sighed, “We can only deal with whatever comes our way. Let’s hope that things haven’t reached the worst stage yet.”
“All in all, we have to be even more careful. We can’t let the Five Poison Sect take advantage of us.”
“Third Elder, you have to take care of the affairs in the valley. Check every place, especially the array. Also, strengthen the security with more patrol guards. No disciples are allowed to leave the valley.”
“And Second Elder, I still have to discuss with you about contacting the other sects. If the Five Poison Sect really dares to attack us, we have to make preparations early…”
Yao Tianchen gave out orders one after another, and even the ordinary disciples could feel the unusual atmosphere. Something big was probably going to happen soon.
The entire Valley of Medicine Masters seemed to be calm, but in fact, a storm was brewing.
