Inside a small wooden building in the Poison Dragon Sect, there was an old man sitting there. This old man looked to be around fifty years old. He had a long horse face and a pair of triangular eyes, making him look very awkward no matter how you looked at him.
Generally, Devil Dao cultivators would wear masks, but in their own immortal caves, most people wouldn't wear masks. This small building belonged to this old man, so naturally, he wouldn't wear a mask in his own immortal cave.
At this moment, the old man was sitting behind his desk in his study. In front of him was a 30 year old cultivator. He wore a black robe and didn't wear a mask. His appearance was very ordinary, there was nothing special about him. However, his eyes were green and looked very frightening, just like a poisonous snake.
The old man said, "Speak, what's the matter?"
That person immediately said, "Master, I just received news that Tian Haixiang has submitted an application for the Inner Disciple Assessment. He has already reached the Spirit Realm of Qi Refinement. Moreover, he has also passed the Poison Hand Assessment. Next is the Combat Assessment. Master told me to keep an eye on him, so I came as soon as I received the news."
The old man stared, then his expression sank as he said, "He actually wants to become an inner disciple so quickly? Hmph, in his dreams. Go arrange a mission for him that he won't be able to return from. I don't want to see him in the Poison Dragon Sect. "
The disciple nodded and bowed to the old man before turning around and leaving. This old man was naturally Elder Sha. That cultivator was his disciple and had some status in the Poison Dragon Sect. Because of this, he received news that Zhao Hai had submitted an application.
At the same time, in another small building, someone was talking about Zhao Hai. The person who spoke was a 30 year old cultivator. This person was very handsome, but his eyebrows were fiery red. His square face and fiery red eyebrows didn't make him look strange. Instead, he gave off a noble aura.
This person also looked at the cultivator standing in front of him. This cultivator looked around 20 years old and was very handsome. His face was pale and his eyes were yellow. This made him look very unhealthy, as if he was suffering from a serious illness. This young man looked at the red eyebrowed cultivator and said, "Senior Brother, I just received news that Tian Hai has submitted an application for the inner disciple assessment. He wants to take the combat assessment."
When the red eyebrowed cultivator heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "Oh, he's going to become an inner disciple so soon. Hehe, it seems like his strength is quite good. What do you think?"
The handsome young man said, "Senior Brother, you killed Tong Zheng. This is equivalent to not giving you face. Do you want us to deal with him?"
When the red eyebrowed cultivator heard this, he smiled faintly. Then he shook his head and said, "No, why should we deal with Tian Hai? Tong Zheng is just a waste. I've used a lot of good things on him over the years. But ever since he became Sha Tianhe's disciple, he actually didn't put me in his eyes. Even if Tian Hai didn't kill him, I would still deal with him in the future. It's better that he's dead. We don't need to care about Tian Hai. On the contrary, I'm very interested in this Tian Hai. If he can really pass the assessment and become an inner disciple, then we can try to get in touch with him and see if we can pull him to our side.
What do you think? "When the handsome young man heard this, he couldn't help but stare. Then he frowned and said," But Senior Brother, if we really do that, what will others think of us? Will they think that we're too ruthless towards Tong Zheng? Moreover, even if we don't deal with Tian Hai, I think Elder Sha will still deal with him. He already made a move against Tian Hai last time. "
The red eyebrowed cultivator was Zhou Fengming. He was a Core Disciple of the Poison Dragon Sect. The one who spoke to him was an inner disciple of the Poison Dragon Sect called Tao Jing. He was Zhou Fengming's trusted aide.
Zhou Fengming sneered and said, "Don't worry, nobody will say anything about us. A lot of people already know what kind of person Tong Zheng was. Therefore, if we don't deal with Tian Hai, nobody will have any objections. As for Elder Sha wanting to deal with Tian Hai, isn't that good? Just treat this as a test for Tian Hai. If he can pass the test and become an inner disciple, then nobody will say anything about us winning him over. But if he can't pass the test, then it's very likely that he'll die outside. Therefore, we don't need to do anything right now, we just need to wait and see what happens. Then we'll make arrangements."
Tao Jing nodded. He felt that Zhou Fengming's idea was very good. To be honest, he didn't like Tong Zheng at all. If it weren't for the negative influence of killing people from the same faction, then he would've already killed Tong Zheng. Now that Zhao Hai killed Tong Zheng, he actually didn't have any objections. The reason why he wanted to take revenge was because Tong Zheng was still a part of Zhou Fengming's faction. If they didn't take revenge, then it wouldn't be right. But now that Zhou Fengming said so, he naturally wouldn't have any objections.
Zhou Fengming said in a deep voice, "That old man, Sha Tianhe, has always been arrogant in the sect. He always protects Tong Zheng. It is also because of him that Tong Zheng dares to be rude in front of me. This time, he wants to deal with Tian Hai. If Tian Hai really enters the inner sect this time, I would like to see his face."
Tao Jing replied, "I heard that there are a lot of people in the sect who are dissatisfied with Elder Sha's faction. Because of Elder Sha's protection, they have become more and more rampant in the sect. However, the other Elders didn't say anything. Because of this, Elder Sha has been slapped in the face by Tian Hai, so he will certainly retaliate. Therefore, I think that Tian Hai's task will be very difficult." Tao Jing nodded, "Tian Hai, you're right.
Zhou Fengming nodded and said, "That's for sure. In fact, we're not the only ones keeping an eye on Tian Hai, there must be a lot of people keeping an eye on him. When Tian Hai becomes an Inner Disciple, I think that someone in the sect would be willing to accept him as a disciple. At that time, it wouldn't be easy for Sha Tianhe to deal with Tian Hai. At the very least, he wouldn't dare to deal with Tian Hai openly. Therefore, his move this time would certainly be ruthless, a move that would take Tian Hai's life. However, this is also the best test for Tian Hai. Even if Sha Tianhe is an Elder, he wouldn't give Tian Hai such an excessive task. There must be a way to complete the task. As long as Tian Hai passes this test, then his position in the sect would certainly be high." Zhou Fengming nodded and said, "That's for sure. Although Sha Tianhe is an Elder, he can't give Tian Hai such an excessive task.
Tao Jing nodded, then he said, "I heard that recently, the sect has been secretly fighting with the Five Poison Sect. Senior Brother, do you think that they will give Tian Hai a task to deal with the Five Poison Sect? If that's the case, then it will be dangerous. The Five Poison Sect has been dealing with our Poison Dragon Sect for so many years, they must have their own unique path. If something goes wrong, then I'm afraid that Tian Hai won't be able to come back. "
Zhou Fengming said, "Let him be. If Tian Hai can't come back because of this, then it's his fate. Cultivators like us are fighting against the heavens. If he dies, then it's not his fate. Don't worry about him, just wait and see. But don't deal with Tian Hai. If Tian Hai comes back alive, then get in touch with him and show him our goodwill. Tell him that we have nothing to do with what happened to him before."
Tao Jing nodded, then Zhou Fengming waved his hand. Tao Jing gave Zhou Fengming a salute before turning around and leaving.
At this time, Zhao Hai didn't know about any of this. He was still in his courtyard, but this time, he wasn't cultivating. Instead, he was in the pharmacy, making some poisons.
Last time, when Zhao Hai fought with Lan Feng of the Five Poison Sect, he obtained a lot of poisonous insects. Some of these poisonous insects were wild, but many of them were raised by Lan Feng. There was also the giant centipede. These were all very precious materials for making poisons. Although Zhao Hai used some of them before, they were useless. Now, he wants to use these materials to make more poisons for future use.
However, Zhao Hai didn't touch Lan Feng's giant centipede. This was because the giant centipede was a very precious material. Zhao Hai wanted to use the giant centipede to make a poisonous weapon in the future. Because of this, he couldn't use the giant centipede right now.
At this time, Tie She had already returned to Zhao Hai's courtyard. He was still doing his previous job of cleaning the room and preparing food for Zhao Hai. As for the other things, he didn't need to worry about them. Tie She liked this job very much because it was very relaxing. He even got Zhao Hai's permission to raise some plants in the courtyard. Every day, he carefully took care of them, making the courtyard more lively.
Five days after Zhao Hai went to apply to become an Inner Disciple, he received a notice telling him to go to the Outer Disciple Management Hall to receive an assessment task. The notice didn't say what the task was, and Zhao Hai didn't ask. He directly went to the Outer Disciple Management Hall.
When Zhao Hai arrived at the small building of the Outer Disciple Management Hall, he looked around and saw that there weren't any changes. He directly entered the small building and then went to the application office. He gently knocked on the door and then a voice was heard, "Come in."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he pushed the door and walked in. Inside the room were the same Cultivators. At this time, their gazes were focused on Zhao Hai. Their gazes were very complicated, there was regret, sorrow, sympathy, and even helplessness. This made Zhao Hai stare. Then he thought about the Elder behind Tong Zheng. The reason why he didn't think about Zhou Fengming was because he knew that Zhou Fengming didn't do anything to him.
Because the Poison Dragon Sect was located in the Poison Fog Forest, there were a lot of plants here. Therefore, Zhao Hai was able to understand all the movements in the sect. Naturally, Zhao Hai didn't dare to monitor the powerful Elders and sect members. However, monitoring Zhou Fengming and Sha Tianhe wasn't a problem. He didn't monitor the two directly, instead, he monitored their subordinates. From the clues left behind by their subordinates, he wanted to see which one of them wanted to deal with him. In the end, he discovered that the one who wanted to deal with him was Sha Tianhe, and Zhou Fengming didn't make a move.
