There is a large round table in the center of the hall, with seven people sitting in front of it. At the head of the table is an old man with white hair and white beard who is full of energy. He is Lan Qintian, the leader of the Divine Poison Sect.

Sitting on the right side of Lan Qintian is his granddaughter, Lan Yaoyao, the saint of the Divine Poison Sect, while on the left is Gu Wu, the guardian elder of the Divine Poison Sect, and the other hall leaders are sitting casually.

Although Lan Qintian invited all the hall masters to the banquet in the name of celebrating his granddaughter Lan Yaoyao's birthday, in the eyes of some people, this was probably a Hongmen Banquet.

Therefore, the entire banquet was in a tense atmosphere from beginning to end. Each of the hall leaders had their own meal, and no one said anything. Only Lan Qintian occasionally laughed and said a few words, but they were all about trivial matters.

, and did not mention matters within the church.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the banquet is almost coming to an end.

Seeing that everyone was full, Lan Qintian, who was sitting in the main seat, coughed twice and said: "Thank you all the hall masters for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come to celebrate Yaoyao's birthday. Although we all live in the same valley.

, but we usually have a lot of things to do, and it’s rare to sit together like this, so let’s take the opportunity to talk about something serious today.”

After hearing Lan Qintian's last words, everyone present was obviously nervous and seemed to be waiting for an opportunity, and the originally tense atmosphere became even more solemn.

Lan Qintian's sharp eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, as if he wanted to read their thoughts from their faces.

After scanning everyone's faces with his eyes, the serious expression on Lan Qintian's face gradually relaxed. He chuckled and said, "There's no need for you to be so nervous. The important thing I want to talk about today is about our Divine Poison Sect."

The battle with the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce."

After hearing what Lan Qintian said, everyone's expressions relaxed a bit, but everyone was still on tenterhooks and did not dare to completely relax.

"Teacher, I feel that our religion should minimize the conflict with the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. If possible, it is best to slowly improve the relationship with them." Scorpion Beauty suggested.

Lan Qintian nodded and said: "Recently, our religion and the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce have been arguing over trivial matters. It's really time to restrain ourselves."

But Poison Dragon objected: "If we take the initiative to propose a truce with the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, wouldn't it make people think that our Divine Poison Sect is afraid of his Four Seas Chamber of Commerce?"

"Then what's your opinion?" asked the scorpion beauty.

"Recently, the relationship between the Sihai Chamber of Commerce and the Ning clan has gradually become tense. This is a golden opportunity for our religion. We should join forces with the Ning clan to give the Sihai Chamber of Commerce a severe blow." Du Long suggested.

"You may be thinking too simplistically. This Ning is not a good partner. He might bite you back when the time comes," the scorpion beauty reminded.

"Master Xie is right. Our sect has been neighbors with the Ning family for hundreds of years. Everyone should know exactly who the Ning family is. Now for our sect, the one we should be wary of most is not the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.

But his Ning family." Lan Qintian said.

Then, Black Widow added: "It's not wrong for the leader to be so cautious, but you still have to be bold when it's time to take risks. If you stay in this valley all the time, when will you be able to make a difference?"

"Even if you want to break in, you shouldn't rush in blindly. You must at least find a reliable ally, otherwise you may even lose your life one day." said the scorpion beauty.

"Our Divine Poison Sect has a poisonous reputation all over the world. Is it possible that we are still afraid of being poisoned by his Ning clan?" Du Long argued.

"It's easy to dodge overt spears, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. Their Ning's methods are far more sinister than ours," the scorpion beauty argued again.

"No matter how vicious the Ning clan is, we can always strike first," Du Long said.

"What's the point of such intrigues? In my opinion, it would be better to ally with the Ning clan to deal with the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce than to ally with the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce to deal with the Ning clan," said the scorpion beauty.

"Master Xie Hall, please don't put the cart before the horse. Our enemy now is the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, not the Ning family." Du Long reminded.

The scorpion beauty said casually: "As the saying goes, there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies. Enemies may not be able to become friends. I have been fighting with the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce for so many years. Although on the surface it seems to be fighting for a breath, in fact it is nothing more than

For profit. As long as we can get more benefits, there is nothing wrong with joining forces with the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce to deal with the Ning family."

"The Ning Sect is not as easy to deal with as the Sihai Chamber of Commerce. Besides, our Divine Poison Sect and the Ning Sect are so close to each other. Once a fight breaks out, the Ning Sect will definitely deal with our Divine Poison Sect first. Wouldn't this mean that the Sihai Chamber of Commerce will take advantage of us?

Profit." Dulong said.

The scorpion beauty raised her eyebrows and hummed, "Didn't you say before that you weren't afraid of his Ning family?"

"This, these are completely two different things." Du Long defended.

Seeing the two people arguing endlessly, Lan Qintian quickly waved his hands and said: "That's all, it's hard to decide on this matter for a while, let's discuss it later."

Just as he was talking, a guard suddenly ran in from outside the gate.

"Reporting to the leader of Qi, my subordinates just caught a suspicious person in the valley. It should be the young man that the leader of Poison Dragon Hall captured a few days ago." The guard reported.

Poisonous Dragon frowned when he heard this. Obviously, he did not expect Ye Wutian to be able to break through the formation restrictions at the entrance of the cave.

Lan Qintian glanced at Poison Dragon and then ordered the guard: "Bring him in."

"Yes!" The guard turned around and retreated, and soon he and another guard escorted Ye Wutian into the hall.

Ye Wutian had just heard Du Long talk about the banquet, and naturally knew that the top leaders of the Divine Poison Sect were here today. This inevitably made him a little nervous. After all, his Xuanyuan Medical Sect and the Divine Poison Sect were sworn enemies.

After entering the hall, Ye Wutian glanced at the table and was stunned.

It was understandable that a little girl like Lan Yaoyao would be here, but the other face made his mind confused for a moment.

Obviously, what surprised him was the existence of the scorpion beauty.

Ye Wutian still clearly remembers that on the way to Thunder Soul Mountain, he once rescued a woman who was poisoned in a cave. However, the woman repaid her kindness with hatred and even wanted to take his life. At that time, he

After thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't understand it.

But now, this woman was sitting in front of him, which made Ye Wutian even more confused.

The moment the scorpion beauty sitting in the seat saw Ye Wutian, her pretty face suddenly darkened, as if she had seen the enemy who killed her father.

Ye Wutian analyzed it carefully and roughly guessed the identity of the woman. Recalling the scene when she was poisoned, he finally understood why the other party hated him so much.

In fact, the scorpion beauty was using the poisons she finally collected to make a breakthrough in cultivation. However, just when she was at the critical moment of breakthrough, Ye Wutian suddenly broke into the cave. Being disturbed, the energy in her body was in chaos.

The poison that assisted the breakthrough suddenly backfired, turning the body into a poison.

While the scorpion beauty was furious, Lan Yaoyao seemed extremely excited. She shook Lan Qintian's arm and shouted: "Grandpa, grandpa, he is Yaoyao's slave."

Ye Wutian was ashamed after hearing this. He naturally didn't expect that this girl would still remember such things. Of course, he didn't have time to pay attention to Lan Yaoyao now. He had to find a way to escape the scorpion beauty first.

After listening to Lan Yaoyao's words, Lan Qintian asked doubtfully: "Yaoyao, do you recognize him?"

Lan Yaoyao nodded vigorously, "Of course I recognize him, he is the slave Yaoyao told you last time! Grandpa, don't you remember? Didn't Yaoyao tell you a very interesting story last time?

That is: Once upon a time, there was a mountain, and there was a temple on the mountain, and in the temple there was..."

Lan Qintian quickly covered Lan Yaoyao's mouth, then laughed dryly and said: "I know, grandpa has already remembered." After saying that, he looked at Ye Wutian with a sullen face.

Ye Wutian couldn't laugh or cry.

Although Du Long did not understand what the grandfather and grandson were talking about, he did realize that there seemed to be some special relationship between this boy and Lan Yaoyao. In order to avoid unnecessary complications, he hurriedly said to Lan Qintian: "Master, this is

The person was indeed captured by his subordinates

Used to refine poisonous corpses, my subordinates locked him in a cave before, and I don’t know what method he used to escape, so I will take him back now." After saying that, he immediately gave instructions to Gao Yunjiao behind him.

: "Take him back to the cave."

"Yes!" Gao Yunjiao responded, and was about to walk towards Ye Wutian, but the scorpion beauty on the side shouted to stop him: "Wait a minute!"

Everyone looked at the scorpion beauty in confusion, but Ye Wutian groaned in his heart. Judging from the murderous look on the other side, he was probably doomed this time.

"Does anything else happen, Master Scorpion?" Poison Dragon asked the Scorpion Beauty.

"I have some grudges with this person, which need to be resolved first," the scorpion beauty replied.

"Hey, I didn't expect that this kid has a very close relationship with our Divine Poison Sect." Poison Dragon was a little surprised, and then asked the Scorpion Beauty: "Then how does the Scorpion Hall Master want to solve it?"

"Just chop off his hands." The scorpion beauty replied coldly. Thinking back to the last scene in the cave where she was scorned by the other party, a blush appeared on the scorpion beauty's face, and the anger in her eyes was also

Even more so.

Ye Wutian's back felt cold. Now that his vitality was blocked, if the other party really wanted to do this, he would have no power to fight back.

Fortunately, Poison Dragon will not allow this to happen.

"Master Scorpion Hall, if you chop off his hands, how can I use him to refine the poison corpse?" Poison Dragon said with a pulled face.

"That's your business and has nothing to do with me." The scorpion beauty said disapprovingly.

"Hmph! I captured this person, but you can't do whatever you want." Poisonous Dragon said angrily.

"Sister Scorpion, why do you have such a deep grudge against this person? You went so far as to cut off his hands." Black Widow asked with a curious smile.

The scorpion beauty blushed and looked embarrassed.
