CHAPTER 289: CHAPTER 284: HEROINE AND DEMONESS

Ye Qiu was not sure what deal Demon Sect and Yin Tianhe had made, but when Yin Tianhe and his wife left the Anle Marquis Mansion, they looked very distressed, and Shaochen was not rescued either.

"You’re really going to agree to Demon Sect’s terms?" Lin Shuanghua couldn’t help but say.

Yin Tianhe’s face also looked very ugly: "Then what do you suggest we do? Just abandon our son?"

Lin Shuanghua painfully closed her eyes: "I knew those things you did back then would have repercussions."

"Repercussions?" Yin Tianhe sneered sinisterly, "I, Yin Tianhe, never believe in repercussions, who ends up with the deer is still uncertain!"

Ye Qiu was unable to find out exactly what deal was made between Demon Sect and Yin Tianhe, but after leaving Anle Marquis Mansion, he ordered his men to stop attacking Demon Sect and quietly amassed his forces towards Jiangning City.

Ye Qiu’s heart skipped a beat; everyone knew the location of Medicine Valley was a mystery, but they didn’t realize it was very close to Jiangning City, a major city teeming with both fish and dragons.

Yin Tianhe and her father were sworn brothers; while others might not know the exact location of Medicine Valley, he must have guessed it long ago.

However, it seems the Imperial Palace is tightly controlled by Ji Heng; Demon Sect has not yet discovered Ji Nan has acknowledged his kin. Ye Qiu informed Ji Nan and Ji Heng in the palace of this first, then rushed to Medicine Valley with all his might.

"Father Emperor, I must return," Ji Nan said firmly; with Medicine Valley in trouble, as the principal disciple, he could not escape.

Ji Heng did not stop him but instead handed over part of his power to him: "Be careful."

"You too."

This time, they were not without a plan; Ji Nan led some troops to rescue Medicine Valley, while in the capital, Ji Heng would also lead another group to deal with Demon Sect’s forces there.

"This is for you." Ji Nan placed the Rainy Pear Blossom Needle in his mother’s hands, "Mother, you said uncle cultivated the Demon Technique, I don’t want anything to happen to you." After speaking, he got up and left without waiting for their refusal.

"This child," Wuyang sighed helplessly yet moved, "how could he give us the thing his Master and Mistress gave him?"

"Let’s keep it. The child doesn’t want anything to happen to you either. Once this is over, let’s go to Medicine Valley to extend our thanks!" Ji Heng held Wuyang’s hand and then gave a cold look at the secret report, ready to learn more.

Yin Tianhe amassing a large number of troops and heading towards Jiangning City caught the attention of many sects, and with Chongjian Manor’s force absent, Demon Sect also became more active.

In Medicine Valley, Ye Qiu called back the forces they had fostered over the past eight years; Chongjian Manor and Demon Sect might be powerful, but Medicine Valley was not without the ability to fight back.

"Brother Yin, what are you planning to do?" Ye Chongtian stood at the edge of a small grove, his gaze sharp as he looked at Yin Tianhe, his once righteous sworn brother who had finally changed.

"Brother Ye," Yin Tianhe’s gaze was deep, "Hand over Ji Nan; I don’t want to hurt you."

"My disciple Ji Nan neither hurt anyone nor set any fires, what do you want him for?"

"It’s not me who wants him, someone else does."

"Impossible."

"Brother Ye, then don’t blame me for being rude."

"If you dare, then come over," Ye Chongtian sneered coldly, then looked at some other familiar faces, "And you? Are you also going to muck in with him and sell your souls to Demon Sect?"

The faces of those people turned awkward from Ye Chongtian’s words, but they did not refute; what could they do? If those things were known by the Jianghu people, they too would face ruin and disgrace.

Seeing this, Ye Chongtian said no more, took a few steps back, and instantly disappeared.

"It’s a maze," someone exclaimed.

"Nothing to fear." Yin Tianhe swung his Heavy Sword, toppling a large number of trees and clearing a path, "Everyone charge forward, together we can easily break this maze."

The sword strike from Yin Tianhe gave hope to others, as trees were uprooted in an instant. However, at the same time, the arrangements made by Ye Lingxian took effect, releasing a thin fragrance that entered their nostrils. The frontmost group began to struggle in agony and soon lost their breath.

"Be careful, it’s highly poisonous!"

The companions who were just fighting together had lost their breath in an instant, sending a chill down everyone’s spine. The Poisonous Lady had not appeared in the world for over a decade, and they had almost forgotten about her existence.

The fear dominated by the poison stopped their advancing steps.

Yin Tianhe spoke with a grim face: "Do you really want all sects to know about the things you have done? That would lead to being hunted down by the entire world."

The group threatened by Yin Tianhe had ashen faces. Death awaited whether they advanced or retreated. What should they do?

"Give them the Detoxification Pill." The speaker was from the Demon Sect, looking at the group contemptuously and speaking as if bestowing alms.

The Detoxification Pill was developed by the Holy Sect, effective against some simple poisons, but useless against stronger ones. Nevertheless, they did not care about the life or death of these expendable troops. If it weren’t for not wanting to damage their own sect members, they would rather have these people die quickly!

The threatened individuals felt indignant yet helpless, forced to take the Detoxification Pills. At this moment, they hated not the Demon Sect or Medicine Valley, but Yin Tianhe, the hypocrite who had blackmailed them.

"Scorpions! Poisonous scorpions!"

"Poisonous ants!"

"Run, there are snakes!"

They had traveled less than half a mile when swarms of poisonous creatures approached from every direction, causing instant chaos within the forces organized by the Demon Sect and Chongjian Manor.

"Don’t panic!" Yin Tianhe shouted angrily, "Pour the oil, set fire!"

The prompt arrangement by Yin Tianhe was very effective. Although a group of people was lost, those poisonous insects were nearly exterminated.

"Look at the brothers you have gotten involved with." Ye Lingxian pinched her husband harshly; those poison flowers and insects were hard cultivated by her, and years of effort were gone in one fire.

"Use the poison smoke and hidden weapons together." Ye Chongtian’s eyes were fierce, as since they wanted to destroy his Medicine Valley, he will not be polite.

"Ah!"

"Hold your breath!"

"The smoke is poisonous!"

"Watch out for hidden weapons!"

"Everyone be careful!"

The scene was chaotic again, and this time, neither Chongjian Manor nor the Demon Sect were spared. They felt extremely frustrated; not having seen an enemy for so long, yet they had already lost almost half of their forces.

Driven by rage, Yin Tianhe swung his Heavy Sword, soared into the sky, and fiercely swept twice towards the flowers and trees around. The Sword Qi raised a murderous aura that even stirred the mud on the ground, and those from Medicine Valley hidden in the shadows were soon discovered.

"Kill!"

The people from Chongjian Manor and the Demon Sect, seeing those from Medicine Valley, were blinded by fury as the covert battle turned overt.

Ye Chongtian and Ye Lingxian also emerged from the shadows, clashing with Yin Tianhe.
