363 Playing Along

Three days later, they were still in the same forest. There were no stars or moon tonight, and the sky seemed to be covered by a black curtain. It was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

The surroundings were pitch black, and one could not even see their own fingers when they stretched out their hands. The crows stood on the treetops and let out strange hoarse cries. They sounded extremely ominous, and their scarlet eyes stared at the crowd on the ground.

This was the first time Li Mao had done something so immoral and wretched. His expression was bleak. “I’ve brought the person you want. Release those disciples.”

Zhou Sheng was not the only one who came this time, there were also a few experts from the Five Poison Sect. The disciples of the Valley of Medicine Masters were tied up like dogs on the side. Although they had no dignity, at least their lives were safe. Li Mao could not help but feel relieved.

“Hand him over to me first. Otherwise, how would I know if you’re just bringing someone else to impersonate him?”

“I would never do such a thing.”

Zhou Sheng raised his eyebrows. “That better be the case. I don’t think you dare to play any tricks.”

There were so many experts from the Five Poison Sect here. If Li Mao really wanted to do something, he might not be able to walk out of this place alive. So many of his fellow disciples would be buried with him. He would not do something so stupid.

Zhou Sheng waved his hand and untied the disciples of the Valley of Medicine Masters. Those disciples were relieved of a heavy burden and hid behind Li Mao like frightened quail.

“Now, it’s your turn to give me the person.”

Li Mao bit his lips and hesitated. He couldn’t bear to do it.

Zhou Sheng said sarcastically from the side, “Since you’ve already decided to do this, don’t pretend to be sanctimonious and hypocritical here. Isn’t it worth it to use his life to exchange for the lives of more than ten of your senior and junior brothers?”

“I’ve given him some medicine. He won’t wake up for a while.”

Li Mao’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s. He seemed to be very ashamed. After all, this was his savior.

Seeing Ye Xuan like this, the last bit of doubt in Zhou Sheng’s heart disappeared, and his eyes burned with hatred. At this moment, Ye Xuan’s eyes were still closed and he was still unconscious. He didn’t know what kind of miserable end he was about to face.

“Alright, you guys can get lost now.”

Zhou Sheng didn’t want to alert the enemy. If he killed Li Mao and the others, it would definitely anger the Valley of Medicine Masters. Although the Five Poison Sect was not afraid of fighting them head-on, the time was not ripe yet, and he had to consider the big picture.

In addition, he was in a good mood this time, so he decided to let Li Mao and the others go. There was still a long time in the future. When they completely annexed the Valley of Medicine Masters, he could deal with this group of people then.

Those disciples left in a hurry. Seeing that Li Mao was not willing to move, they quickly pulled his sleeve. “Senior Brother Li, let’s go quickly. Zhou Sheng is cruel and merciless, and his emotions are unpredictable. If he changes his mind, we’re all finished.”

Li Mao glanced at Ye Xuan and eventually left.

At this moment, only the Five Poison Sect members were left.

Zhou Sheng gritted his teeth and said, “Ye Xuan, you didn’t expect this, did you? After so many twists and turns, you ended up in my hands, and you were even sent out by the Valley of Medicine Masters. I’m really looking forward to seeing how you’ll react after you wake up and see me.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the person who was supposed to be unconscious suddenly opened his eyes. “Really?”

Before Zhou Sheng could react, Ye Xuan had already attacked him at lightning speed when his eyes met with those eyes that seemed to be smiling yet not smiling at the same time.

“Ah!”

Another scream was heard. Zhou Sheng rolled and crawled as he covered his other eye. “My eye!”

The only eye that was still intact was also injured by Ye Xuan, but fortunately, he was lucky enough this time and did not go blind immediately. He just couldn’t see clearly.

Ye Xuan looked down from above, his expression cold as he said, “It seems that I haven’t taught you a lesson after I blinded you in one eye the last time. This time, you’re taking the initiative to come to me again.”

Zhou Sheng was furious and let out a beast-like roar from his throat. “Ye Xuan, I’m going to kill you! Weren’t you already unconscious? How could you…”

Ye Xuan looked at Zhou Sheng calmly. He asked, “Why? Are you disappointed?”

This all started from Li Mao’s visit to Ye Xuan a couple of days ago.

Li Mao wasn’t good at lying, so Ye Xuan noticed his strange behavior and found out with a few words.

“You said that Zhou Sheng had captured many of the Valley of Medicine Masters disciples to force you to hand me over. You also can’t tell anyone?”

Li Mao nodded awkwardly. He didn’t think that Ye Xuan would be so sharp as to trick him to reveal everything. Now, he could only admit it.

“No wonder. Your actions and mannerisms were quite strange. So it was because of this.”

When A’tian heard this, he anxiously said, “Then what are we waiting for? let’s quickly report this to the valley master and the others.”

“No!”

Li Mao immediately stopped him. He said, “You’ve all seen Zhou Sheng’s style of doing things. If things really get out of hand, I’m afraid he’ll directly take the lives of those disciples.”

A’tian looked at Li Mao suspiciously and asked, “You don’t really want to hand Young Master Ye over to them, do you?”

Li Mao’s face turned red and he couldn’t say anything for a long time.

“I, I don’t want to either. At most, I’ll just pay with my life three days later.”

Li Mao gave up on himself. He couldn’t ignore the lives of those disciples, and he couldn’t hand over Ye Xuan.

Looking at Li Mao’s pained face, Ye Xuan patted him on the shoulder. He said, “Since you’ve told me the truth, I won’t just sit back and do nothing.”

If Li Mao really wanted to hand him over, he wouldn’t have said such things that would make Ye Xuan wary.

“This is the only way now.”

After hearing Ye Xuan’s plan, Li Mao shook his head like a rattle drum. “No, no, no, I can’t do that. If you fall into their hands, your life will be in danger. It’s too risky.”

Ye Xuan’s method was to have Li Mao hand him over. What was the difference between this and walking into a trap?

“What other methods do you have?”

Ye Xuan advised, “Trust me. Since I’ve brought it up, I have ways to protect myself. You don’t have to worry about me”
