Fate is a wonderful thing.
"Have you heard? Two major events have happened recently in the Three Saints Sect!"
Inside a tavern, a man whispered mysteriously to his drinking companion at the next table, deliberately trying to sound secretive.
"Oh? What news do you have, brother? Tell me quickly." The latter was also tactful and hurriedly poured a cup of wine for the other.
They were just ordinary people, and opportunities to hear rumors among Cultivators were rare.
"Listen, and I'll tell you slowly." After taking a sip of wine, the man began to tell the story.
[At this point, I hope readers remember our domain name wkan.com to read at any time.]
"The first thing is that there is a Disciple in the Three Saints Sect named Chu Fan. This person colluded with the Demonic Path to Cultivate evil arts and even backstabbed his own Revered Master. He is now wanted by the Three Saints Sect!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar at the scene.
"This Chu Fan is truly a beastly creature to be able to do such a thing."
"Exactly! To even backstab his own Revered Master, he is simply devoid of conscience!"
After everyone had finished commenting, the man continued.
"The second thing is related to the current Saint of the Three Saints Sect. It is said that the Saint of the Three Saints Sect, Su Ming, went to the heaven-reaching pagoda to temper himself and met the Young Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect on the way. He didn't know Holy Son Su's identity and thought he was just an ordinary person..."
"That Young Sect Master's arrogance is known to everyone, but it didn't work in front of Su Ming. At first, this Holy Son Su tried to reason with him, but as you can imagine, how could Qiu Tianfang reason with others? In the end, he was killed on the spot by Holy Son Su and his Guardian."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the crowd shouted: "Well killed! My aunt's entire village was razed to the ground by that Qiu Tianfang. Hundreds of people in the village, not a single survivor!"
Even ordinary people suffered deeply from Qiu Tianfang's harm.
This showed just how arrogant and overbearing the other party was.
"Everyone, it's not over yet." The man continued: "After hearing the news of his child's death, Qiu Qianren, the Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect, immediately led the two great Yao Beasts of the Sect to the heaven-reaching pagoda, wanting Su Ming to be buried with him."
"The two sides fought until the sky turned dark and the sun and moon lost their light. But fortunately, Heaven has eyes. Holy Son Su and his Guardian eventually won the battle and settled the matter completely."
After hearing the story, everyone in the tavern immediately fell into an intense discussion.
Inside the private room on the second floor, Chu Fan felt like crushing the wine cup in his hand after hearing these words.
Most of those voices were praises for Su Ming and belittlement of him, Chu Fan.
Anger surged in his eyes, and he wished he could break through the window right now and slaughter all those people below.
*Crack.*
The wine cup in his hand shattered completely; he was clearly no longer able to suppress his anger.
Seeing this, Jiang Wang acted in time and pressed his hand on the other's shoulder.
"If you act, the stealth we've maintained all this time might be exposed."
"We are now only a day's journey from the Northern Border. Do you want our previous endurance and humiliation to go to waste?!"
Faced with Jiang Wang's words, Chu Fan forced himself to calm down.
But his tone was still defiant.
"Things are not at all as they say! I haven't fallen into the Demonic Path, nor have I backstabbed my Revered Master!"
Chu Fan became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice couldn't help but rise a few notches.
"It must be Su Ming! It must be this villain who deliberately released news to smear me!! I, Chu Fan, am not the beast those people talk about. On the contrary, he, Su Ming, is the villain who relies on his parents to oppress his fellow Disciples and bring disaster to the Sect!"
In this kind of small tavern, even inside a private room, the soundproofing was not good.
As long as there was someone outside the door, they would surely hear what Chu Fan said.
Coincidentally, a young Shop Assistant who was delivering wine to another private room happened to pass by and heard everything.
Hearing what Chu Fan said inside, along with the things downstairs just now, the Shop Assistant suddenly panicked, and his footsteps faltered.
As a person of the Demonic Path, Jiang Wang was meticulous, and the perception of a Star Realm Cultivator made him understand what was happening outside.
Just the slip in footsteps made him instantly realize that the words Chu Fan had just said had been heard by an outsider.
So he appeared in front of the young Shop Assistant in a flash.
Seeing this, the Shop Assistant immediately understood that he was likely to be silenced.
So he plucked up his courage and shouted: "Chu Fan is in the shop!"
Although Jiang Wang immediately acted to wipe out the other party, the sentence still spread.
The entire tavern was suddenly in an uproar.
"What?! Chu Fan is in this tavern? There's also a Demonic Path Cultivator beside him! Everyone, run!"
The entire tavern became extremely chaotic.
However, how could Jiang Wang give them a chance to escape? He directly used his spiritual power to isolate the tavern, preventing anyone from escaping.
Then he called Chu Fan and walked out of the tavern.
The moment the two left the tavern, Jiang Wang threw down a deadly poison inside with a flick of his hand.
This was still a busy market area, after all. If he destroyed the entire tavern directly, it would surely attract the attention of Cultivators.
"For the rest of the journey, I don't want to see you show any more emotional fluctuations," Jiang Wang warned Chu Fan.
"If we are discovered, do I need to emphasize what will happen to us if we fall into Su Ming's hands?"
Knowing he had done something wrong, Chu Fan lowered his head silently and said no more.
Jiang Wang led Chu Fan away, while inside the tavern, wails broke out because of the deadly poison he had released.
But Jiang Wang never expected that inside this small tavern, there were actually Disciples of the Medicine Spirit Valley.
"Senior Sister Miao Yun, this is the Demonic Path's Heart Boiling Powder!"
If even a little of this Heart Boiling Powder is inhaled, it will cause the heart rate to keep accelerating, and eventually, the high-speed beating heart will burst through the chest cavity and kill the person.
Most people in Medicine Spirit Valley were Alchemists and pharmacists; they were naturally well-versed in poisonous substances.
The Medicine Spirit Valley Disciple named Miao Yun hurriedly took out the antidote from her storage ring to neutralize the Heart Boiling Powder in the air and directed her Junior Brothers and Sisters to rescue the ordinary people who had already inhaled it.
After a period of careful treatment, except for a few ordinary people with Innate heart problems, everyone else survived.
"Thank you, Immortals. Thank you for saving our lives."
The survivors thanked them repeatedly.
Meanwhile, Miao Yun notified her Revered Master through the Medicine Spirit Valley's portable transmission talisman.
This trip was a very ordinary training exercise for them. The only interlude was that someone suggested going to an ordinary person's tavern to listen to stories and see the world.
Miao Yun's Revered Master was a rare and eccentric person. After hearing these Disciples' requests, he not only didn't refuse but also lent them treasures to conceal their aura, claiming it was to prevent them from being exposed.
Unexpectedly, just after listening to others tell the events of the Three Saints Sect, they encountered Chu Fan, one of the protagonists.
Had Jiang Wang not been in a hurry to leave and unwilling to alert the enemy, and if they hadn't had the treasures given by their Revered Master, Jiang Wang, worried about exposure, would have definitely slaughtered everyone in the small town to prevent the news from leaking.
Thinking of this, Miao Yun felt very fortunate.
"The Demonic Path is indeed as wicked as the rumors say. I hope Master Wu can stop them. If such people are allowed to escape into the Northern Border, the consequences will be endless..."
Although Medicine Spirit Valley was mostly composed of Alchemists and Pharmacists, there were also those with considerable combat power among them.
It just so happened that Miao Yun's Revered Master, Yao Wu, was one of them.
Fate and luck are sometimes truly wondrous.
