Upon hearing Shao Wanwan’s account, the Fifth Elder’s expression turned serious, but then a delighted smile appeared on his face.

“What have you thought of, Fifth Elder?” Shao Wanwan immediately asked upon seeing his change in demeanor.

“What is the age of this person?” The Fifth Elder, seemingly confirming his suspicion, asked again.

“Around twenty,” Shao Wanwan replied.

“Then there’s no mistake, it must be him!” The Fifth Elder said with certainty.

“Fifth Elder, do you know who it is?!” Shao Wanwan pressed further.

“The most formidable and mysterious poisoning technique in the world belongs to our Poison Sect. However, some of the techniques passed down by the Poison Sect are beyond the grasp of both our elders and you. This person must have used such a technique,” the Fifth Elder explained.

“But the methods of our Poison Sect are always kept secret. How could…” Shao Wanwan began to question, but then suddenly thought of something. “Fifth Elder, do you mean this person is also from the Poison Sect?”

“Exactly,” the Fifth Elder nodded.

“But do we have such a person in the Poison Sect?” Shao Wanwan asked.

“We do!” The Fifth Elder’s eyes shone with fervor.

“Fifth Elder, are you referring to…?” Sensing the Fifth Elder’s excitement, Shao Wanwan seemed to realize something and exclaimed in shock, “The Ancestor?!”

“Indeed!” The Fifth Elder nodded heavily. “Apart from the Ancestor, it seems there is no one else in this world who possesses such an extraordinary poisoning technique.”

“But the Ancestor lived over a hundred and fifty years ago. How could he still exist in this world now?” Shao Wanwan asked incredulously.

“About fifty years ago, the Ancestor who founded our Poison Sect faced the limit of a hundred years of life. He left behind the ‘Supreme Poison Scripture,’ passed down the position of Sect Master, and then traveled far and wide to find a way to rejuvenate. There has been no news since then,” the Fifth Elder said with reverence. “Now it seems the Ancestor must have succeeded. That young man around twenty years old must be the rejuvenated Ancestor!”

“You offended such a person, yet he didn’t kill you and let you leave unharmed. This is the best proof.”

Shao Wanwan was utterly shocked and suddenly realized, “No wonder he said I should be grateful for my identity. If I weren’t the Holy Maiden of the Poison Sect, I wouldn’t have returned alive.”

Her emotions surged and took a long time to calm down. However, she still had a lingering question, “Fifth Elder, if the Ancestor is still alive, why hasn’t he returned to the Poison Sect?”

Upon hearing this, the Fifth Elder’s joy slightly diminished, and he sighed, “The Ancestor despises us descendants for being incompetent. Even the Sect Master of the Poison Sect lost in a competition with the Medicine Immortal Valley and ultimately took his own life.”

Shao Wanwan also felt deeply ashamed. Her talent was considered quite good, but compared to the Little Medicine Immortal of the Medicine Immortal Valley, she was still far behind.

Despite her dejection, she gathered her spirits and said, “This time we came to Qingling to seek revenge on the Little Medicine Immortal Bian Suwen. As long as we avenge ourselves, we can surely regain the Ancestor’s recognition.”

Since their founding, the Poison Sect and the Medicine Immortal Valley have been enemies, and now they have become blood feuds. With the death of the previous Poison Sect Master, the conflict has reached an irreconcilable point.

“The previous Poison Sect Master lost to the Little Medicine Immortal Bian Suwen, leaving the position of Sect Master vacant. Although you are the Holy Maiden of the Poison Sect, do you think you have the confidence to defeat Bian Suwen? Do you dare to engage in a life-and-death duel with her?” The Fifth Elder asked Shao Wanwan, staring at her.

Shao Wanwan’s expression froze. In a normal competition, she had only a twenty to thirty percent chance of winning, which was basically a losing battle.

However, the Medicine Immortal who founded the Medicine Immortal Valley had already passed away, while the Ancestor of the Poison Sect, who was on par with the Medicine Immortal, was still alive.

Now, the new Valley Master, the Little Medicine Immortal Bian Suwen, though formidable and able to suppress the elders and the Holy Maiden of the Poison Sect, was naturally far inferior to the Ancestor of the Poison Sect.

This was the greatest reliance of the Poison Sect!

With this thought, a bold idea emerged in Shao Wanwan’s mind, “Fifth Elder, according to the old rules, the Poison Sect and the Medicine Immortal Valley engage in a life-and-death duel. But this time, we use the forbidden poison from the ‘Supreme Poison Scripture.’ Bian Suwen is bound to lose!”

“Are you crazy?!” The Fifth Elder was horrified by this suggestion. “The power of the forbidden poison is too great. No one can cure it except the Ancestor. Once it erupts, it can wipe out a city in half a day. Do you want to bring about the destruction of the Poison Sect?”

Apart from the Medicine Immortal Valley and the Poison Sect, there are many hidden sects in the world. Such a heinous act of poisoning the world would definitely invite collective attacks from these hidden sects.

No one could bear the consequences of such actions.

Upon hearing this, Shao Wanwan not only remained calm but even smiled, “Fifth Elder, you yourself said that no one can cure it except the Ancestor.”

The horror on the Fifth Elder’s face subsided, and his expression brightened.

The method of competition in the Medicine Immortal Valley was that the Poison Sect would poison, and the Medicine Immortal Valley would detoxify. Whoever lost would lose their life.

The forbidden poison would be a headache even for the old Medicine Immortal if he were alive, and the Little Medicine Immortal Bian Suwen would definitely be unable to cure it.

Victory was assured.

And with the Ancestor present, he would definitely intervene before the forbidden poison erupted.

Shao Wanwan’s proposal was bold, but it was the best way to avenge their shame.

“This idea is not bad.” After careful consideration, the Fifth Elder slowly nodded.

Seeing this, Shao Wanwan said no more and directly left the base.

…

Late at night.

Bian Suwen, who was out on business, was walking alone on a path in a villa area, preparing to return to Liu Yue’s villa.

At such a late hour, it was dangerous for a woman to walk alone outside.

However, besides her medical skills, Bian Suwen’s martial prowess was also quite impressive, so she had no fear even when walking alone at night.

However, when she was about two hundred meters away from the villa, she suddenly stopped.

There was a faint fragrance in the air.

With Bian Suwen’s skills, she naturally understood that this fragrance was poisonous.

However, her medical skills were exceptional, and she had her own methods of detoxification, so the fragrance had no effect on her.

“Come out,” Bian Suwen said to the air.

“As expected of the Little Medicine Immortal, my Ghostly Floating Fragrance is indeed useless against you.”

With this voice, Shao Wanwan chuckled and emerged from the darkness, appearing in Bian Suwen’s sight.

“So it’s you. What, you didn’t dare to show your face in front of me in the capital, but now that you’re out of the capital, you think you’re qualified to provoke me?” Bian Suwen said coldly to Shao Wanwan.

As the saying goes, enemies meet, and their eyes blaze with anger.

The feud between the Medicine Immortal Valley and the Poison Sect was not a matter of a day or two.

Shao Wanwan despised Bian Suwen, and Bian Suwen equally loathed Shao Wanwan.

“The old rules, a life-and-death duel, do you dare to accept?” Shao Wanwan didn’t waste words and directly threw out a challenge letter.

Bian Suwen reached out to catch it but didn’t look at it, only sneering, “You are just the Holy Maiden of the Poison Sect, not qualified enough for me to accept. Let your Poison Sect Master come, oh, I almost forgot, your Poison Sect Master is dead, and the position is vacant.”

“You!” Shao Wanwan was momentarily speechless, but then she regained her charming smile, “I heard you have a few sisters here in Qingling.”

“The feud between the Poison Sect and the Medicine Immortal Valley should not involve others. It has always been this way. Do you want to break the rules?” Bian Suwen said coldly.

“If you don’t avoid it, I naturally won’t break the rules,” Shao Wanwan said with a smile.

“Fine, since you’re seeking death, I’ll grant your wish!” Bian Suwen said coldly.

“I hope you can still be so confident after tomorrow,” Shao Wanwan smiled and blended into the darkness.

Seeing this, Bian Suwen frowned.

Not to mention Shao Wanwan, even the previous Poison Sect Master lost to her.

Now that Shao Wanwan dared to issue a challenge, it was clear she wasn’t just courting death but had some reliance.

But what was her reliance?!

With these doubts, Bian Suwen returned to her fifth sister Liu Yue’s villa with a solemn expression.
