A man stands before the heavens, his sword emerges from the Emei Mountains.

With the ability to kill one person in ten steps, Chen Yu accomplished this even against ordinary members of the Five Poisons Sect.

The raindrops were dense. He casually drew his sword, and the transparent water droplets seemed to be forced to linger in the air for a moment. Immediately afterwards, a leader of the Five Poisons Sect saw the water droplets shatter and the crystal light magnify.

With a single sword strike, Chen Yu forced his opponent to retreat in a sorry state. He stepped forward, and with another movement of his arm, the incense master and his sword were cleaved into the rain and mist. Blood spurted up and was then pressed down onto the muddy ground by the pouring rain.

Chen Yu twirled his sword with his right hand, and then sheathed the Longquan sword.

The sounds of fighting had long since died down; it was all over.

"How is my senior sister?"

Chen Yu walked towards Ji Xiaofu. During the battle at the mountain stronghold, he often looked around at the various battlefields where people were fighting. Ji Xiaofu was a bit fierce, which was unusual for her.

"It's been a long time since I've fought like this, and it makes me feel much better."

"Is this a gradual process of overcoming inner shadows?" Chen Yu guessed before exclaiming, "Senior Sister is so valiant!"

Su Mengqing, Bei Jinyi, Zhao Lingzhu and others gathered around. Looking at the group of Emei female disciples with their raincoats stained with blood, Chen Yu was momentarily dazed, wondering what kind of path he would ultimately lead these beautiful and intelligent girls down.

Chen Yu quickly regained his senses. "Senior Sister Zhao arranged for several junior sisters and brothers to keep watch. Senior Sister Ji is responsible for treating the injured. Senior Sister Su and Senior Sister Li, please search thoroughly. This is the entrance to the Five Poisons Sect's altar. We are sure to find something here."

"Alright." A melodious sound, like the tinkling of a clear spring, rang out. Chen Yu turned and walked towards the wooden building where Ma Sangu was.

……

The candlelight and disc player went out into the darkness. Chen Yu examined Ma Sangu and found no poison, hidden weapons, or poison hidden in her teeth.

It seems that the suicide of Cheng Wenyuan, the leader of the Green Bamboo Gang, by poisoning himself was an isolated case.

"Tell me about it."

"Pah!" Although Ma Sangu's acupoints were struck and her bones dislocated, her hearing remained intact. She had already discerned Chen Yu's identity from the shouts and calls outside the building earlier. "You little thief, bring it on, and let's see if this old lady will utter a single word."

"Junior brother, let me do it." Bei Jinyi was meticulous. Ma Sangu was a woman, and she was afraid that it would be inconvenient for Chen Yu to interrogate her, so she followed her.

"it is good."

With a clang, the longsword was drawn. Bei Jinyi brandished the sword in front of the other party a few times, "Tell me or I'll slash your face."

Chen Yu laughed and said, "That face might look better if it's scratched up."

"Ah!" Bei Jinyi laughed, "That's true."

"Tell me, who is your leader?" Bei Jinyi said fiercely.

Her round face, like a jade plate, never gave her an air of malice, no matter how she tried to put on an act. Chen Yu said, "Senior Sister, why don't you find some hemp paper or bamboo paper, soak it in water, cover your face with it, and remove the paper when you're about to suffocate? Repeat this a few times and see if it works."

"Okay." Bei Jinyi asked her female disciple to fetch some paper, and Chen Yu walked out of the wooden building room.

A cold wind and rain lashed at our faces, and the shouts of disciples could be heard in the air.

"There's a wine cellar here."

……

Lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the surroundings for a moment, followed by rumbling autumn thunder. The mountain village seemed to be caught in a cycle of extreme darkness during the day.

"Little bitch."

"The Old Witch"

"Come on, I'm not afraid of you."

"You wait."

Chen Yu paused for a moment, then smiled and walked away. About an hour later, Bei Jinyi walked over in disbelief.

"How are you, Senior Sister?"

Bei Jinyi blushed and said, "Junior brother, that's a good idea. The old witch has lost all willpower. Go and take a look."

"Thank you for your trouble, senior sister."

Bei Jinyi did not accompany them. Chen Yu entered the wooden building, and a stench filled the air. Ma Sangu was limp as a rag doll and had lost control of her bladder.

"Just tell me, it'll be a quicker death. The method used on you is just one of the most common methods."

Aunt Ma's eyes were unfocused, and she didn't even have the courage to say anything harsh.

"Who is the cult leader?"

"Lianzhenjia".

Chen Yu had no influence over this person.

"Explain in detail?"

How much more detailed can it be?

"Age, gender?"

"How would I know the age of the sect leader? He is obviously a man."

Where is the main altar?

"Wuling Mountain in Miao Territory".

Chen Yu thought to himself that this information matched what Luo Kui had said, and that he hadn't lied.

"Five poisons, five jars: Bai Xilou, Ba Biao, Cheng Wei, and where's the last jar?"

"The Immortal Toad Altar".

"Where is the altar located, and who is the altar master?"

"In Zhongnan Mountain. Altar Master Zhantai Jing."

Chen Yu let out a slight sigh. "Explain in detail?"

"I live in Bashan and have never been there, so how would I know? You have the ability to go and find out for yourself."

Why is the Five Poisons Sect hunting me down?

"All that I did was under orders."

Where in Hunan was Cheng Wei located?

"West River".

Chen Yu was appointed Prefect of Xijiang, in Changning, Hengyang.

Who is the old woman in the building?

When Granny Jinhua left, Aunt Ma was still lucid. She could guess the other party's intention to return. She was angry that the other party had not helped her in her time of need, and answered her question crisply.

"Granny Jin Hua also brought a girl named Ali with her."

"What is the purpose?"

"They exchanged their martial arts techniques for some of the sect's poisonous methods. They said it was to deal with two people."

What is the relationship between Granny Golden Flower and the Five Poisons Sect?

"I heard this from the sect leader; I went to the Immortal Sect for medical treatment years ago."

After a reasonable analysis, Chen Yu roughly understood that Dai Qisi had taken Han Qianye to the Five Poisons Sect for medical treatment, and now the exchange of poison skills was to trip up Wang Nangu and Hu Qingniu.

"What's this?" Chen Yu asked, taking out a thin box.

Ma Sangu's face immediately showed an expression of annoyance, "Innuendo, like shooting steel needles in quick succession."

Chen Yu was overjoyed. With his current martial arts skills, he was far inferior to those of Dai Qisi, Wei Yixiao, Cheng Kun, and A San. With this weapon, he could protect himself in times of crisis.

"I've said everything I needed to say, so just give me a straight answer."

"it is good."

Chen Yu struck Ma Sangu's Zhangmen acupoint with a heavy blow, which was described as "Zhangmen being struck, a coffin must be bought immediately." This acupoint is related to the intercostal nerves and is close to the kidneys, spleen, and liver, causing Ma Sangu to lose her life force immediately.

……

"Senior brother, come and take a look."

As Chen Yu emerged from the wooden building, Yang An called out from afar. Chen Yu landed quickly and strode forward.

"Found something good."

"Could it be medicinal wine?"

"More than that."

Chen Yu followed Yang An into an old wooden building. By the light of the torches, they saw various medicinal herbs neatly arranged inside, including Solomon's seal, ginseng, Buddha's hand, deer antler, musk, donkey-hide gelatin, tiger bone, toad venom, turtle shell, and so on.

"Even the Medicine King Cave doesn't have such a complete reserve of medicinal herbs," Chen Yu exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right. The junior brothers and sisters of Medicine King Cave all gather their herbs within a hundred miles of Mount Emei. The Five Poisons Sect uses every means at its disposal, and it's estimated that most of them are plundered."

"Come here again."

Yang An led Chen Yu to a side room, a spacious and humid room with nearly a hundred wine jars neatly arranged.

"I've already questioned them. It's the Five Immortals Wine, made primarily from green snakes, centipedes, spiders, scorpions, and toads. The vintages vary, but long-term consumption not only cures all ailments but also strengthens the body and bones, relaxes muscles and tendons, and promotes blood circulation," Yang An said with a smile. "I learned this from the disciple in charge of brewing the wine."

"Take the people and the alcohol back with you."

"Alright, my senior brother once said that we should drink and sing when we return in triumph, so why don't we try it first?"

"Give it a try."

Chen Yu lifted the jar, and the two went outside. He then removed the seal.

The wine inside the jar was slightly yellow in color and had a strong aroma, and five kinds of poisonous insects could be seen.

"It smells so good." Bei Jinyi and Su Mengqing came over attracted by the aroma. Chen Yu smiled and said, "Five Immortals Wine, it harmonizes the blood and qi, strengthens the spirit and wards off the cold."

Su Mengqing looked around and saw the poisonous insects inside. She exclaimed in surprise and waved her hands repeatedly, "I'm not worthy of such a treat."

Bei Jinyi loved to eat, her eyes shining as she eagerly tried it.

Yang An found a wine bowl.

Bei Jinyi took a small sip and said, "Mellow and smooth, a fine wine." With that, she held the wine bowl with both hands and gulped it down in one go.

As the medicine took effect, a quiet sensation settled in her abdomen. Bei Jinyi felt as if she were surrounded by a burning fire, her blood and energy were stimulated, and her fascia throbbed.

"Good wine, good medicinal properties."

Bei Jinyi's face was as radiant as the morning sun, and she kept praising the wine as she burped.

Chen Yu's eyes were bright. Once his junior brothers and sisters from the Medicine King Cave brewed this medicinal wine, the Emei disciples would use it to strengthen their bones and blood, aiding their cultivation and greatly improving their strength. His mind was filled with thoughts of making Emei bigger and stronger.

It is not advisable to linger in a place of trouble.

As dawn broke, Chen Yu, Yang An, and others, along with the medicinal wine, rare herbs, cultivation manuals, and several members of the Five Poisons Sect who were brewing the wine, disappeared into the misty rain.
