Chapter 1170: Chapter 1168: Five Poison Sect! A Corner of a Shocking Conspiracy Finally Revealed! (5 updates)

While Lin Bai was in the Cave Mansion, painstakingly cultivating the Supreme Sword, another person on the Five Peaks of the Miracle Ridge was also tirelessly hustling about without rest, day and night.

This person was Hua Yuxian!

"Saintess, the Sect Hierarch has sent a Secret Order, asking you to return to headquarters!"

The Sword Demon arrived at Hua Yuxian’s residence and spoke respectfully.

"The matter of the Divine Bone is of great importance; indeed, I should return to headquarters to properly report to the Sect Hierarch."

"Tomorrow, I will apply at the Second Peak for a journey to Lingdong for my training, and then I will head back to headquarters."

Hua Yuxian said indifferently.

The very next day, Hua Yuxian and the Sword Demon both left the Five Peaks of the Miracle Ridge.

Accompanying Hua Yuxian and the Sword Demon was another Warrior who had achieved Great Perfection in the Elixir Realm.

This Warrior had originally been assigned by the Five Peaks to surveil Hua Yuxian and the Sword Demon.

Just as when Lin Bai returned to the Nine Courtyards, Luo Haiyang would follow him!

However, at this moment, the Warrior from the Elixir Realm Great Perfection who was following Hua Yuxian said with a faint smile on his face, "Saintess, the Five Peaks have sent me to surveil you, please rest assured, Saintess, I will absolutely not interfere with the important affairs of the Sacred Religion."

Hua Yuxian nodded slightly.

It turned out that the Warrior assigned to surveil Hua Yuxian was also from the Five Poison Sect!

Hua Yuxian and the Sword Demon left the Five Peaks of the Miracle Ridge smoothly and returned to Lingdong.

Lingdong, one of the Three Great Dynasties, the Fengyun Dynasty!

Hua Yuxian and the Sword Demon entered the Imperial Capital of the Fengyun Dynasty and went straight to the Imperial Palace!

They entered a Secret Chamber within the palace.

"Hehe, the return of the Saintess is truly a joyous occasion. The other day, the Sword Demon reported that the whereabouts of the Divine Bone were discovered; with the Saintess’s return today, the Sect Hierarch will surely reward you handsomely," a scrawny old man said with a laugh in the dim corridor.

"It’s but a minor matter; there’s no need for the Guardian of the Sect Supreme to personally welcome me. I am indeed startled by such favor," said Hua Yuxian, looking at the old man and laughing.

This old man was none other than the Guardian of the Sect Supreme of the Five Poisons Sect, named Xuan Bo!

Xuan Bo gave a faint smile, "Hehe, the accomplishment of the Saintess in locating the Divine Bone is as high as the heavens. An old servant like myself is of no other use, so welcoming the Saintess back is only natural."

"Please, Saintess, the Sect Hierarch is already waiting for you."

Xuan Bo led Hua Yuxian into the depths of the Underground Palace!

Before long, Xuan Bo and Hua Yuxian came to a dimly lit room!

Inside this room, sitting upright and dignified above them was a man in a black robe. Even in this dimness, his Eyes still clearly flashed with a sharp and brilliant Glow.

Beneath the man in the black robe was an extremely old and hunched old crone.

This old crone was another Guardian of the Sect Supreme of the Five Poisons Sect, named Meng Po.

Following these three people was a Young man who was looking at Hua Yuxian with a sneer. He was the Five Poison Sect’s Saint Child who once fought with Lin Bai, Miao Shang!

"Yuxian, you’re back; you’ve worked hard." As soon as the man in the black robe spoke, a terrifying and authoritative presence filled the Void.

Hua Yuxian bowed and paid her respects, "I’ve seen the Sect Hierarch!"

"I’ve seen Guardian Xuan Bo, I’ve seen Guardian Meng Po!"

"I’ve seen... Your Highness, the Saint Child!"

Hua Yuxian paid her respects to each in turn.

The Five Poisons Sect Hierarch said indifferently, "Yuxian, no need for such formalities. You had someone send a message saying that you had found the whereabouts of the Divine Bone, is this so?"

Hua Yuxian smiled faintly, "Reporting to the Sect Hierarch, not a word is false. I saw the Divine Bone with my own eyes, but there is a powerful guardian by the Divine Bone. I fear it wouldn’t be easy for the Sacred Religion to take the Divine Bone from the Miracle Ridge!"

"The guardian of the Divine Bone is one of the three Sect Leader Supremes of the Miracle Ridge, Dugu Yun!"

Upon hearing the name Dugu Yun, the Five Poisons Sect Hierarch also frowned, "Dugu Yun can be considered the strongest among the three Sect Leader Supremes of the Miracle Ridge!"

"No wonder!"

"No wonder! Ye Wuhuan is in charge of the Five Peaks, Zhao Longtu is in charge of the Nine Courtyards, but only Dugu Yun, this Sect Leader Supreme, we’ve been unable to find out what he’s actually doing for many years!"

"So he was guarding the Divine Bone!"

The Five Poisons Sect Hierarch said with a faint smile.

The old crone below, Meng Po, said faintly, "Sect Hierarch, since Dugu Yun is guarding the Divine Bone, it might not be easy for us to snatch it by force!"

Xuan Bo also said faintly, "Meng Po is right; Sect Hierarch, even if we use all the Dark Children on the Miracle Ridge to grab it, once we engage with Dugu Yun, a large number of experts from the Five Peaks of the Miracle Ridge will come rushing over."

"At that time, I fear it will be difficult for us to stand against them!"

Xuan Bo and Meng Po both felt that a direct snatch would not be easy.

The Five Poisons Sect Hierarch asked indifferently, "Miao Shang, how is the matter I asked you to handle?"

The Five Poison Sect’s Saint Child, Miao Shang, calmly replied, "Reporting to the Sect Hierarch, the matters in Lingdong have been settled, just awaiting your command. Once given, our Five Poison Sect will obliterate all the dynasties in Lingdong!"

The Five Poisons Sect Leader nodded slightly, "Good, since everything is prepared, that will suffice."

Meng Po smiled faintly, "Sect Hierarch, although all is ready, we still need to find an opportunity to bring this to fruition."

The Five Poisons Sect Leader smiled faintly, "This opportunity, hasn’t the Miracle Ridge already prepared it for us?"

"Saintess Hua, I have heard that in one month’s time, it will be the six-month appointment that Lin Bai and the Five Pinnacle Saint, Ye Jianjun, have agreed upon?"

The Five Poisons Sect Leader asked with a slight smile.

Hua Yuxian nodded, "That’s correct."

The Five Poisons Sect Leader said, "Ye Jianjun is a master who became a saint child five years ago, and Lin Bai is a rising star. Their battle can be considered the pinnacle of the current generation of youths on the Miracle Ridge."

"At that time, numerous masters will return to the Miracle Ridge to witness the battle!"

"Saintess Hua, your next task is to take control of these masters, one by one, for the use of the Sacred Religion!"

"Meng Po has already prepared a large amount of Snake Heart Poison for you, take it back to the Miracle Ridge!"

"It would be best to control both Ye Jianjun and Lin Bai with Snake Heart Poison. With these two men, the Sacred Religion will have no fear of the Miracle Ridge."

The Five Poisons Sect Leader said lightly.

Thereupon, Meng Po walked up with a smile, handing Hua Yuxian a Storage Bag and said, "Saintess Your Highness is truly youthful and promising. I, this old woman, am getting old, and from now on, it’s up to you younger ones."

"Meng Po, Guardian of the Sect Supreme, you overstate. This is what Saintess Hua ought to do." Hua Yuxian received the Storage Bag and replied calmly.

Hua Yuxian, having thought this, then said lightly, "By the way, Sect Hierarch, the Crown Prince is currently on the Five Peaks of the Miracle Ridge. Although he knows nothing about our plans, should we inform him..."

"After all, once the Sacred Religion emerges, the Crown Prince might well be executed by the Five Peaks!"

Hua Yuxian reminded.

"Xuan Bo, is it? Well then, after you return to the Miracle Ridge, tell him to come back. There are some matters that he should be made aware of," the Five Poisons Sect Leader replied indifferently.

"Yes."

Hua Yuxian nodded slightly.

Standing up, the Five Poisons Sect Leader declared, "Since all is ready, let us begin the operation!"

"The battle between Lin Bai and Ye Jianjun will surely trigger a gathering of influential figures on the Five Peaks!"

"Saintess, you are to use Snake Heart Poison to control as many geniuses of the Miracle Ridge as possible for the Sacred Religion!"

The Five Poisons Sect Leader directed.

Hua Yuxian respectfully responded, "Yes, Sect Hierarch."

The Five Poisons Sect Leader continued, "Additionally, after the battle between Lin Bai and Ye Jianjun, the Creation Divine Palace will open. Saintess, you are to use the geniuses under your control to seize as many resources as possible within the Creation Divine Palace!"

"Once the Creation Divine Palace event concludes! Miao Shang, immediately arrange for all the Five Poison Sect branches in Lingdong to destroy all the dynasties, including the Heavenly Sword Dynasty, the Holy Night Dynasty, and... the Fengyun Dynasty!"

Miao Shang responded promptly, "Understood, I will see it done!"

The Five Poisons Sect Leader kept speaking, "After the upheaval in Lingdong, Saintess, you join forces with all the hidden agents on the Miracle Ridge to retrieve the Divine Bone!"

"Xuan Bo, Meng Po, prepare the Magic Circle. Once the Saintess brings back the Divine Bone..."

"Immediately activate the Magic Circle, and together we shall welcome the return of the Ancestral Master!"

"Once the Ancestral Master returns, not just the Miracle Ridge, but the entire Under Heaven will be at the fingertips of our Five Poison Sect!"

The Five Poisons Sect Leader’s eyes flickered with grand ambition!

"The Five Poison Sect has lain dormant for twenty years, accumulating strength quietly, just awaiting one battle to shock Under Heaven!"

The Five Poisons Sect Leader exclaimed sternly.

Both Miao Shang and Hua Yuxian’s faces showed excited smiles.

...

On the Five Peaks!

Jian Ruohan and Bai Xiaoxiao coincidentally arrived at Lin Bai’s Cave Mansion today.

When Lin Bai opened the Stone Door and saw the two women, he laughed, "You both have arrived right on time!"

Jian Ruohan said, "We’re not in the mood for jokes today. It’s the day of your decisive battle with Ye Jianjun, are you confident?"

Bai Xiaoxiao added, "If you admit defeat, you don’t have to go."

Lin Bai chuckled and replied, "Let’s go. I’ve been preparing for this day for half a year!"

"Today, I might not necessarily lose to Ye Jianjun!"

Lin Bai clenched his fists, his eyes ablaze with fierce fighting spirit!
