Capítulo 37

"Shut up," the man said. "That person can infuse snake blood into his skin; he is no ordinary person. Our only task is to retrieve the Green Robe; no other trouble is permitted."

They were speaking in the Miao language, and although their voices were low, they still reached Tang Congrong's ears. Years ago, Tang Qiefang, curious about Miao poisons, had invited a Miao Gu master to the Tang Clan as a guest, and both of them understood some of the Miao language. Hearing these words now, Tang Congrong frowned slightly and immediately ordered them to set off.

Medicine King Valley looks like an ordinary valley with a few corners of eaves that can be vaguely seen. However, at this time of year, the valley is still full of exotic flowers and fragrant aromas. As you walk in, the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers and the bitter scent of herbs, which blend into a unique and indescribable aroma that is otherworldly.

Upon seeing Yang Luoxue, Tang Congrong was taken aback. "What happened to you?"

After a year apart, Yang Luoxue's hair had turned completely white.

"I'm sick," Yang Luoxue said casually. "Something's happened at the Forbidden Garden, so I can't talk much. Tell me quickly."

Tang Congrong then recounted the story of the Miao people. After listening, Yang Luoxue said, "There is no Green Robe in Medicine King Valley at all."

Tang Congrong was stunned.

“The Mo Xingnan couple have both been poisoned by a strange poison. I have already used the Green Cloak on them.” Yang Luoxue said simply, “The Green Cloak is a sacred object of the Time Sect. It seems that people from the Time Sect have come.”

The Guangyin Sect is an uncivilized sect, not subject to the control of the Yuewei Pavilion, and has never committed any offenses against the martial arts world of the Central Plains.

However, the theft of the sacred relic cannot be dismissed simply by saying "the Green Robe has already been used."

Most of the people in Medicine King Valley are healers, and very few know martial arts. Even if they do, they are only about as good as Yang Luoxue.

Before the two could even discuss anything, a disciple rushed over, "Senior Brother, the Forbidden Garden has been shaken again!"

A hint of urgency flashed across Yang Luoxue's brows. "Congrong, I'm sorry I couldn't leave the Green Robe to you. This matter has nothing to do with you. Go back to Tang Sect quickly." With that, she hurried away.

Tang Congrong watched his retreating figure disappear into the rain and suddenly sighed softly.

They raised the cloud-covered barrier and headed towards the valley entrance.

Unbeknownst to him, the moment the cloud barrier opened, the forbidden garden of Medicine King Valley trembled once again, more violently than ever before.

The autumn wind and rain are bleak and desolate.

Eight disciples followed behind him.

Tang Congrong said, "You go into the valley and let the doctor and patient evacuate."

The disciples obeyed the order, but one person stood still.

Why aren't you going?

"I will stay here with the master of the household."

Tang Congrong only asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Tang Kunsha."

Tang Congrong didn't say anything more, and gripped the handle of the cloud-patterned umbrella tightly.

He himself wasn't sure if he could stop the people of the Time Cult.

However, he possesses the blood of a mother snake, making him impervious to ordinary poisons, and he also has a cloud-like barrier that makes him invulnerable to swords and spears. Fortunately, he may have a slight chance of winning.

He suddenly took out a medicine pouch from his pocket and poured out a few pills.

Tang Kunsha was taken aback. "From—" he abruptly stopped, but his terrified gaze had already fallen into Tang Congrong's eyes. Tang Congrong had taken a few Rejuvenation Pills; a warm sensation surged within him. He closed his eyes briefly, then suddenly opened them, staring intently at Tang Kunsha. That look, that voice, rendered him speechless. "You—"

However, there was no time to ask further questions. The people of the Time Cult arrived silently, without making a sound, like ghosts.

"Are you from Medicine King Valley?" the leading man asked. "I am Aruoshu, the Left Protector of the Time Sect, and I am looking for Yang Luoxue."

"You're looking for the Green Cloak, right?" Tang Congrong said calmly. "The Green Cloak has already been used on Mo Xingnan, so it's not here."

The members of the Time Sect exchanged glances, knowing that the gentle man in the fox fur coat had overheard their conversation at the inn. Aruoshu smiled coldly, "Our leader must wear the Green Robe every twelve years. You must hand it over, no matter what, or else—"

Before he could finish speaking, the woman beside him suddenly cried out in alarm. The bamboo tube at her waist shattered, and a streak of silver light flashed towards him, which Tang Congrong gracefully dodged. Suddenly, Tang Kunsha shouted, "Watch out! That's a silver chain!"

The silver light suddenly turned in mid-air, like a maggot clinging to a bone, and flew towards Tang Congrong.

Tang Congrong was taken aback. His lightness skill was superb, truly first-rate, and even after changing his movement several times, he still couldn't shake it off. He also realized that it wasn't a hidden weapon, but a snake.

A small, silver snake with wings floated in the air, its eyes fixed on his left hand. It looked like a hungry man seeing food.

Tang Congrong's mind suddenly went blank. He remembered this thing. He had seen it in the records of ancient poisons. It was a flying snake with silver tendrils that loved to suck poisonous blood.

The mother snake's blood was an extremely delicious food in its eyes.

Tang Congrong was chased so hard that she couldn't turn around. Suddenly, she opened her umbrella, and the silver ribbon crashed into the cloud barrier. Taking advantage of this moment, she shot out a flower-splitting rain needle.

The needle was icy cold as it brushed past the silver ribbon's wings. The silver ribbon, surprisingly intelligent, realized that the person before it was not simply food. It abruptly stopped its pursuit and hovered silently in mid-air, as if searching for an opportunity.

The group of eight from the Time Sect left the woman with the silver necklace, the Left Protector, to deal with Tang Congrong, while the other six headed straight for Medicine King Valley. Tang Kunsha fluttered his sleeves like butterflies, leaving a layer of light red powder at the valley entrance, and chuckled softly, "Can't you see me too?"

All six men were experts in poisons. Upon seeing the powder, they were shocked and retreated, realizing that the sedan chair carriers were no ordinary people.

Aruoshu whispered to Yinliannu, "What is that umbrella?"

"I don't know..." Silver Chain Woman was extremely surprised, "Besides Zhu Xinzhu, there is actually something that can block the silver chain."

Silver Chain feeds on poisonous blood, and is extremely poisonous inside and out. Anyone or anything that comes into contact with it will be corroded and burned.

The bamboo tube she used to contain the silver chain was made of the unique Zhuxin bamboo of Miao territory, yet it still couldn't contain the silver chain, which was tempted by the poisonous blood. The silver chain broke out of the tube, its blood surging with excitement, at the peak of its poisonous power. The seemingly delicate umbrella was hit by it, but it was completely unharmed.

Meanwhile, a mere sedan chair carrier managed to stop the Six Yin Envoys of the Time Sect.
