Fifth Elder's expression turned grave at Shao Wanwan's recount. Then, a joyful smile appeared on his face.
"Fifth Elder, what have you thought of?" Shao Wanwan immediately asked.
"How old is that person?" Fifth Elder asked again, as if to confirm his guess.
"Around twenty," Shao Wanwan replied.
"Then there's no mistake. It must be!" Fifth Elder said with certainty.
"Fifth Elder, do you know who it is?!" Shao Wanwan pressed.
"The strangest and most formidable method of poisoning in the world is none other than our Poison Sect. However, there are some methods passed down in the Poison Sect that we elders and you are unable to grasp. This person must have used one of those methods," said the fifth elder.
"But our Poison Sect's methods have never been passed down. How could it be …" Shao Wanwan grew doubtful, but she suddenly thought of something.
"Fifth Elder means to say that this person is also a member of the Poison Sect?"
"That's right." Fifth Elder nodded.
"But how could our Poison Sect have such a person?" Shao Wanwan asked.
"We do!" Fifth Elder's eyes blazed with fanaticism.
"Fifth Elder, you mean …" Shao Wanwan seemed to have thought of something when she sensed Fifth Elder's emotions. She exclaimed in shock, "It's the old ancestor?!"
"That's right!" Fifth Elder nodded heavily. "Aside from the old ancestor, there shouldn't be a second person in this world who possesses such a superb poison method."
"But the old ancestor is a person from over a hundred and fifty years ago. How could he still exist in this world?" Shao Wanwan asked incredulously.
"Around fifty years ago, the old ancestor who founded our Poison Sect was faced with the great limit of a hundred years. He left behind the 'Sovereign Poison Scripture' and passed down the position of sect master. After that, he traveled far and wide in search of a method to rejuvenate his youth. There hasn't been any news of him in the past fifty years," Fifth Elder said reverently.
"Now, it looks like the old ancestor has succeeded. That twenty-year-old youth must be the old ancestor who has rejuvenated his youth!"
"You offended such a person, but he didn't kill you and allowed you to leave unscathed. This is the best proof."
Shao Wanwan was incomparably shocked before realization dawned on her. "No wonder he said I should rejoice in my identity. If I wasn't the Poison Sect's Holy Maiden, I definitely wouldn't have made it back alive."
Her turbulent emotions took a long time to calm down, but she still had some doubts. "Fifth elder, if the old ancestor is still alive, why hasn't she returned to the Poison Sect?"
Hearing this, the joy on the Fifth Elder's face faded a little. He sighed and said, "Old Ancestor, you're looking down on us, the younger generation, for being incompetent. Even the Poison Sect's Sect Master had been defeated in the competition with the Immortal Medicine Valley and had committed suicide in the end."
Shao Wanwan also felt ashamed. Her talent was not bad, but compared to the Little Fairy Doctor from the Celestial Medicine Valley, she was still lacking.
Although she was dispirited, she still pulled herself together and said, "This time, we came to Qing Ling to seek revenge from the Little Fairy Doctor, Bian Suwen. As long as we take our revenge, we will be able to regain the recognition of our ancestors."
Ever since the Poison Sect and the Celestial Medicine Valley were established, they had been enemies. Now, it had developed into a feud. Following the death of the previous Poison Sect's Sect Master, it had reached an irreconcilable stage.
"The previous Poison Sect's Sect Master had lost to the Little Fairy Doctor, Bian Suwen. As a result, the position of the Sect Master is still vacant. Although you're the Poison Sect's Holy Maiden, do you think you have the confidence to defeat Bian Suwen? Do you dare to have a life and death battle with Bian Suwen? "the Fifth Elder looked at Shao Wanwan and asked in return.
Shao Wanwan's expression froze. In a normal battle, she only had a twenty to thirty percent chance of winning. She would basically be sending herself to death.
However, the founder of the Celestial Medicine Valley had already passed away. But the Poison Sect's old ancestor, who was equally famous as the Celestial Medicine Valley, was still alive in this world.
Although the new Valley Master, the Little Fairy Doctor, Bian Suwen, was powerful enough to suppress the Poison Sect's elders and Holy Maiden, she was still far from the Poison Sect's old ancestor.
This was the Poison Sect's greatest reliance!
At that thought, a bold idea appeared in Shao Wanwan's mind. "Fifth Elder, according to the old rules, the Poison Sect and the Celestial Medicine Valley will have a life and death battle. But this time, we'll use the forbidden poison in the Sovereign Poison Scripture. Bian Suwen will lose for sure!"
"Are you crazy?!" The Fifth Elder was aghast at this suggestion. "The forbidden poison's power is too great. Aside from the old ancestor, no one can cure it. Once it erupts, it can slaughter an entire city in half a day. Do you want to bring disaster to the Poison Sect?"
Aside from the Celestial Medicine Valley and the Poison Sect, there were many hidden sects in the world. This kind of evil act of tormenting the world would definitely attract a collective attack from these hidden sects.
No one could bear the consequences of this.
Shao Wanwan wasn't flustered at all. Instead, she smiled. "Fifth Elder, you've said it yourself. Aside from the old ancestor, no one can cure it."
The shock on the Fifth Elder's face faded and his eyes brightened.
The Celestial Medicine Valley's method of battle was that the Poison Sect would throw in the poison while the Celestial Medicine Valley would cure the poison. Whichever side lost would lose their lives.
Even the old Celestial Doctor from the Celestial Medicine Valley would have a headache dealing with the forbidden poison. Little Celestial Doctor, Bian Suwen, would definitely not be able to cure it.
She would definitely win.
And with the old ancestor around, he would definitely stop the forbidden poison before it erupted.
Shao Wanwan's suggestion was bold, but it was the best way to avenge the humiliation.
"This is a good idea." The Fifth Elder thought deeply and nodded slowly.
Shao Wanwan didn't say anything else and left the encampment.

Late at night.
Bian Suwen, who was out on business, was walking alone on a small path in the villa district. She was preparing to return to Liu Yue's villa.
It was so late and it was very dangerous for a woman to walk alone outside.
However, other than her medical skills, Bian Suwen's martial skills were pretty good. Even if she was walking alone in the night, she wasn't afraid at all.
However, when she was about 200 meters away from the villa, she suddenly stopped.
There was a faint fragrance in the air.
With Bian Suwen's skills, she naturally knew that there was poison in the fragrance.
However, her medical skills were superb and she had a way to cure the poison. Hence, the fragrance didn't affect her at all.
"Come out." Bian Suwen said to the air.
"As expected of the Little Celestial Doctor. My Ghost Floating Fragrance is indeed useless against you."
Following this voice, Shao Wanwan walked out from the darkness with a smile and appeared in Bian Suwen's vision.
"It's really you. Why? You didn't dare to show your face in front of me in the capital. Now that we're out of the capital, you think you have the right to challenge me?" Bian Suwen looked at Shao Wanwan and said coldly.
As the saying goes, when enemies meet, their eyes turn red.
The enmity between the Celestial Medicine Valley and the Poison Sect wasn't just a day or two.
Shao Wanwan hated Bian Suwen and Bian Suwen hated Shao Wanwan as well.
"Same old rules, a battle to the death. Do you dare to accept?" Shao Wanwan didn't beat around the bush and threw out a challenge letter.
Bian Suwen reached out to receive it but didn't look at it. She sneered and said, "You're only the Holy Maiden of the Poison Sect. You don't have the right for me to accept. Let your Poison Sect's sect leader do it. Oh, no, I almost forgot. Your sect leader is dead and the position is empty now."
"You!" Shao Wanwan's anger stagnated but she quickly recovered her charming smile. "I heard that you have a few younger sisters in Qingling."
"The enmity between the Poison Sect and the Celestial Medicine Valley has always been this way. Do you want to break the rules?" Bian Suwen said coldly.
"If you don't avoid it, I won't break the rules." Shao Wanwan grinned.
"Alright, since you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish!" Bian Suwen said coldly.
"I hope you'll still be so confident after tomorrow." Shao Wanwan smiled and disappeared into the darkness.
Seeing this, Bian Suwen furrowed her brows.
Not to mention Shao Wanwan, even the previous Poison Sect's sect leader lost to her.
Shao Wanwan dared to take the initiative to issue a challenge. It was obvious that she wasn't tired of living. She had something to rely on.
But what was she relying on?!
With these doubts, Bian Suwen returned to her fifth sister Liu Yue's villa with a serious expression.
