Chapter 3102 - 3077: The Six Eldest Young Masters!

Chapter 3102: Chapter 3077: The Six Eldest Young Masters!

Walking to the end of the ancient path, a dense palace group emerged ahead, hidden in a gray mist.

Elder Li chuckled softly, "Poison God Clan, we’ve arrived!"

Lin Bai and the others looked up, and in the gray mist ahead, a group of palaces appeared faintly, with massive poisonous snakes seemingly flying back and forth in the air, while on the ground, one could see poisonous creatures everywhere.

Within the Poison God Clan, it seemed that poisonous snakes, centipedes, scorpions, and other poisonous creatures were everywhere.

"Let’s go." Elder Li led Lin Bai and the others forward again, introducing as they went: "The Ancestral Land of the Poison God Clan is basically divided into three phases."

"Right now, we are in the first phase, which is considered the Front Hall of the Poison God Clan; this place primarily serves as the reception area."

Walking through the area, Lin Bai and the others noticed the palaces and houses seemed to have been vacant for a long time, with no warriors residing anymore.

Elder Li mentioned it was a place for receiving guests, yet it didn’t look like a reception area at all.

Elder Li laughed softly, "Cough, although this is a reception area, unless a warrior from the Barbaric Ancient Continent has important matters to discuss with the Poison God Clan, other warriors are likely unwilling to visit us, so it’s been years since anyone waited here."

Lin Bai smiled wryly, nodding silently.

This sky-obscuring toxic haze, the ground full of poisonous creatures, likely no warrior would be willing to visit here.

Soon, the group walked out of the reception palace area, with signs of warrior activity becoming more frequent ahead.

Elder Li said, "Ahead is where the disciples of the Poison God Clan reside."

"Unlike other sect powers, the Poison God Clan has no division between Outer Sect and Inner Gate."

"Any warrior who joins the Poison God Clan becomes a disciple, and the clan shares all Poison Skills without reservation."

Xu Li looked at the group of palaces where the disciples resided and asked laughingly, "Elder Li, it seems there aren’t many disciples in the Poison God Clan."

Elder Li nodded, "Indeed, the number of disciples in the Poison God Clan doesn’t compare to your sect, perhaps not even to a small tribe on the Southern Continent."

"For example, the tribes of you all, there are likely at least tens of thousands, no?"

Xu Li nodded slightly. On the Southern Continent, a tribe of tens of thousands is considered quite small.

Even the Big Fish Tribe, where Lin Bai and the Ninth Elder fought, had a population of hundreds of thousands.

Xu Li said faintly, "Currently, the Poison God Clan only has nine thousand disciples!"

"Nine thousand, so few..." The group exclaimed upon hearing this number.

A sect with nine thousand disciples would be considered insignificant in the East Continent.

Taking Lin Bai’s former Territory of all nations, for instance, the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect claims to have a million disciples, and the Donglan Sword Sect also boasts "Donglan Sword Sect has ten thousand sons, ten thousand sword cultivators defying life and death."

In places like the Territory of all nations, a small area has sects exceeding a million disciples.

Yet the Poison God Clan, one of the Three Great Families that has existed eternally on the Barbaric Ancient Continent, now has only nine thousand disciples!

Elder Li laughed, "Isn’t it surprising? Do you wonder how the Poison God Clan could have so few disciples?"

Xu Li said, "On the Barbaric Ancient Continent, disciples of the Poison God Clan are elusive; even if occasionally seen, it’s only from afar. For all of us, it’s the first time visiting the Poison God Clan, and indeed, we didn’t expect it to have only nine thousand disciples!"

"Why is that? If the Poison God Clan wanted to recruit disciples, surely many would be eager to learn from the clan." Xu Li asked curiously.

Elder Li replied, "Who wouldn’t? Long ago, the Poison God Clan recruited disciples externally, but those disciples who came to Poison Mountain either were killed by toxic fumes or by their own nurtured poisonous creatures."

"Even now, disciples die daily in their residences, either by homemade poison or by raised poisonous creatures."

"Thus, the number of disciples decreases daily, so having nine thousand is not bad."

Elder Li said with a laugh.

Xu Li and others realized and nodded.

Elder Li laughed, "That’s also why, when Xia Qiu was killed outside some time ago, the high-ranking elders of the clan were furious. It’s rumored even the reclusive Ninth Elder personally went to the Southern Continent to bring the culprit back."

Lin Bai hearing this, his expression tensed slightly, and said calmly, "Xia Qiu? I seem to have heard this name; is this person well-known in the Poison God Clan?"

Elder Li smiled, his eyes flashing subtly, and when he remembered Xia Qiu, his face showed a hint of gloom and wariness.

"Very well-known." Elder Li answered simply.

The simpler Elder Li answered, the more Lin Bai felt the matter wasn’t simple.

Lin Bai asked again, "How famous?"

Elder Li laughed softly, "That’s not something you should ask about; remember, within the Poison God Clan, do not provoke Mo Qing, Bai Qing, Gou Chen, Li Wen, and Sanle. If you stir trouble with them, you won’t escape even if you become the clan’s Guest Official."

Xu Li asked curiously, "These people are..."

Elder Li laughed softly, "The six princes of the Poison God Clan!"

"No, now it should be five princes; Prince Xia Qiu is already dead."

Xu Li frowned and said, "Six princes? Are they direct lineage?"

Elder Li looked at Xu Li coldly and said faintly, "You seem to have many questions."

Xu Li froze for a moment and quickly said, "It’s my first time visiting the Poison God Clan, thus I’m quite interested and want to ask more."

Elder Li smiled slightly and said, "No need to ask, you will know naturally later."

"Let’s go, ahead is your residence."

"Guest Quarters."

"I’ll first take you to register as Guest Officials, then receive some essential items, and you can return to the Guest Quarters for a good rest."

At that moment, Lin Bai couldn’t help but ask, "Elder Li, I have one more question. You mentioned the Poison God Clan’s Ninth Elder personally went out to capture the culprit who killed Xia Qiu. Has the Ninth Elder captured the person?"

Elder Li nodded and said, "Caught, about three days ago, the Ninth Elder brought the woman back to the Poison God Clan."

Xu Li said in surprise, "The one who killed Xia Qiu is actually a woman?"

Lin Bai asked, "What does the Poison God Clan plan to do with this woman?"

Elder Li shook his head and said, "Not sure, it’s something for the high-ranking elders to decide; it’s beyond my purview. When a warrior of the level of the six princes dies, the Poison God Clan is enraged!"

Xu Li curiously asked, "Isn’t Elder Li’s cultivation at the Sixth Level of the Wending Realm considered among the high-ranking elders of the Poison God Clan?"

Elder Li paused, turned back, and coldly laughed while looking at Xu Li, "Sixth Level of the Wending Realm is trying to enter the high-ranking elders? You’ve underestimated the Poison God Clan."
