Poison Valley Threat

Yang Gouming and Yang Chen were also curious about Yun Lintian. Especially Yang Gouming, who had a deeper understanding of the iron rule of the Misty Cloud Sect. He was extremely confused as to why Yun Lintian had appeared here, along with Yun Huanxin and the rest.

Yun Lintian laughed softly and said, "You can call me by my name directly. I don't like being called a senior. After all, we are all around the same age. As for your question, my answer is yes. I am indeed a member of the Misty Cloud Sect."

When Yun Lintian had finished his sentence, Yun Huanxin added, "He is the son of our Sect Master."

Yang Gouming and his children looked at each other in shock. Yang Mengli and Yang Chen might not know much about Yun Qianxue, but how could Yang Gouming not know about her? 40 years ago, Yun Qianxue was regarded as the most beautiful woman in the entire Heavenly Fortune Nation. She was the dream lover of countless men. However, her attitude towards them was simple. She loathed all of them and didn't hesitate to kill anyone who tried to approach her. How could she possibly have a child?

Although Yang Gouming was extremely curious, he refrained from inquiring further about this matter. He turned to Yun Huanxin and said, "Congratulations to your sect on acquiring such a talented doctor."

"Thank you." Yun Huanxin surprisingly replied politely, her delicate face adorned with a proud expression.

Yun Lintian waved his hand and said, "Oh please, Senior. Stop it already. If Senior continued to praise me, I might be starting to fly now." His words made everyone laugh. He said further, "Right, congratulations to both of you for reaching the tenth level in such a short time."

Yang Mengli and Yang Chen smiled at each other. Yang Chen said, "It's all because of you, Senior... No, I will call you Brother Yun from now on. You can also call me by my name directly."

Yun Lintian nodded slightly and said, "Good. I'll call you Brother Yang and Sister Yang from now on."

Seeing their friendly interaction, Yang Gouming smiled heartily. To establish a connection with a talented doctor like Yun Lintian undoubtedly brought them significant benefits.

At that moment, Yun Lintian suddenly thought of something. He asked, "Senior, is your incident related to the Luo clan? If it's inconvenient, Senior doesn't have to tell me about it." Although Yun Lintian hadn't been interested in the disputes between them, he just wanted to confirm something in his mind.

Yang Gouming smiled faintly, "What senior? Just call me Uncle Yang... That's right. The Luo clan is the one behind all of this. Several years ago, they secretly invited a poison doctor from the Poison Valley, and they began using poisons against other clans. I just discovered this recently."

"Poison Valley?" Yun Huanxin immediately frowned upon hearing this name.

Yang Gouming nodded with a solemn expression and said, "Yes. The poisonous doctor is indeed coming from Poison Valley. The problem is that Qi Qianxing is aware of this matter, but he chooses to ignore it."

"No wonder. Qi Qianxing didn't hesitate to join the fray." Yun Huanxin muttered to herself. She finally understood the ins and outs of this matter.

"Hmm? What happened?" Yang Gouming heard about it and asked, confused. He had recovered a month ago and was busy handling the internal affairs of the clan. Hence, he didn't know much about the situation outside. Especially about the Misty Cloud Sect.

Yun Lintian took this opportunity to explain, "Uncle Yang has likely been too busy in the past month and may have missed this important information... Currently, our sect is facing a serious threat. Scared Flame Sect has joined forces with Sword Profound Sect and Qi Royal Clan. They are planning to eliminate us."

"What!?" Yang Gouming exclaimed in shock. For the Sacred Flame Sect, he was aware of the grudge between them, but he never expected the Sword Profound Sect and even the Qi Royal Clan to join in as well.

Yun Huanxin added, "It's not only them. If I guessed correctly, there should also be the Luo clan and the Chen clan."

Yang Gouming's expression turned serious as he asked, "Why would they decide to do this?"

Yun Lintian shrugged his shoulders without offering any explanation. Was there any need for an explanation? They simply wanted to eliminate the Misty Cloud Sect for their own gain. Simple as that.

"Father..." Yang Chen wanted to say something. He was an upright person. Even though he knew that getting involved in this matter would mean creating an archenemy with the Qi royal clan, he still wanted his father to help Yun Lintian.

Meanwhile, Yang Mengli remained silent and calmly looked at her father. She was a businesswoman who would carefully consider the pros and cons before making a decision. She had analyzed everything calmly. With the strength of the Yang clan alone, it was impossible to fight against all of them. Hence, she didn't express her opinion and left everything to her father.

Yang Gouming's mind was spinning rapidly. He spoke after a while. "Since they have chosen to be your enemy. All of you here are in danger. They won't let this chance to capture all of you go easily." He paused for a second and continued, "If it were just me, I would definitely go all out and participate in this matter. However, I still have my fellow clan members on my shoulders. I won't be able to assist you much with this matter. Sorry."

Yun Lintian wasn't surprised by Yang Gouming's decision, and he didn't think Yang Gouming was ungrateful. It was normal to prioritize yourself and your family before helping others. On the contrary, he even praised Yang Gouming for speaking straightforwardly instead of being half-hearted.

Yun Lintian smiled and said, "Uncle Yang, there's no need to feel sorry for us. I understand your decision. I told you about this not because I need your help, but rather because I want you to be aware of this matter. I think you should understand what I want to say."

Yang Gouming nodded. Even a fool could see that a storm was about to come, and the Yang clan was destined to be swept away by this storm as well. He said solemnly, "Although I can't help the Misty Cloud Sect overcome this calamity, I can guarantee the safe escape of all of you."

Yun Lintian cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Uncle Yang. But you shouldn't cross the line too far. Since we have dared to come here, we naturally have a way to get out of this situation. You don't have to worry."

"Fine." Yang Gouming replied.

Yang Cheng was extremely disappointed in his father's decision, but he also understood the situation. At this moment, he was in a dilemma. His strength wasn't great enough to single-handedly turn the tide, but he couldn't simply sit back and watch his benefactor face a problem.

Just as Yang Chen was about to say something, he felt a hand on his shoulder. He tilted his head and saw Yang Mengli shaking her head, preventing him from speaking. He clenched his fists and let out a sigh of helplessness in the end.

"We will take our leave first." Since there was nothing more to say, Yang Gouming immediately took his children and left the place.

"Alright." Yun Lintian responded. He turned to Yun Huanxin and asked, "Third Aunt, what is Poison Valley?"

Yun Huanxin, who had been deep in thought, responded, "Poison Valley is a notorious group of people with an unclear origin. Their members are proficient in poison. In the past, they wreaked havoc throughout the entire Northern Continent by using innocent lives for their poisonous experiments. Even ordinary people are not an exception either. Until thirty years ago, the Frozen Moon Palace issued a decree to eliminate them, and they subsequently vanished. Who would have thought they still exist."

Yun Lintian and other senior sisters' expressions turned grave after listening to this. This Poison Valley was too cruel. In order to experiment with their poison art, they didn't even let ordinary people go. Was there any purpose in testing poison on a vulnerable human being? They just wanted to kill. That's why.

Yun Lintian suddenly realized something. He quickly asked, "Third Aunt, you mean...?"

Yun Huanxin slowly nodded, "Our enemies are not just them, but also Poison Valley."

Yun Lintian's face turned grim. Just dealing with the current enemies was already difficult, and now Poison Valley had been added in. He didn't know how to help his sect survive this calamity anymore... If only I had power. The situation would definitely be better than this. Yun Lintian clenched his fists in anger. He hated himself for being weak.

Buzz—

All of a sudden, the silver necklace around his neck vibrated briefly and then stopped. Yun Lintian was startled and quickly grabbed it. To his disappointment, nothing further happened in the end.

"What happened?" Yun Huanxin observed his peculiar behavior.

Yun Lintian let go of the necklace while shaking his head. "Nothing... Third Aunt, let's send the news back first."

Yun Huanxin agreed and quickly took a long-range transmission jade out of her pocket. "Beware of Poison Valley. Their member appears behind the Luo clan." She said.

A moment later, the transmission jade vibrated slightly, indicating the other sides had successfully received the message.

"Third Aunt, you have to be careful after we are gone. I'll help you set up a formation around here." Yun Lintian gave her a warning out of worry. All he could do was to set a profound formation around here beforehand. At least, Yun Huanxin would be safer while Yun Lintian was gone into the mythical realm.

"Mhm." Yun Huanxin didn't refuse. They had around five days before the Blazing Sun Mythical Realm open.

After leaving the Misty Cloud Sect's camp, Yang Chen hesitated several times before he finally asked, "Father…" He couldn't finish his sentence as he was interrupted by Yang Gouming.

"I know what you wanted to say, but this matter is out of our hands. It's not just them. We are also in danger." Yang Gouming patiently said.

Yang Chen became silent. He was aware of the situation, but he just couldn't shake off the discomfort in his heart. Without Yun Lintian's help, he would still be a useless cripple and Yang Gouming would still lie on the bed until now. Now, his benefactor was in trouble. How could he simply ignore it?

Yang Gouming saw through his son's current mood and further stated, "All we can do right now is provide support for them as much as we can. Remember, during the exploration, you have to do your best to help them."

Yang Chen took a deep breath and nodded, "Understood, Father."
