“Enough with the nonsense, I don't like to hear it. Hand over your treasures, or die.”
The voice of the Chaotic Poison Venerable was cold and indifferent.
Although his voice was not loud and his tone was not particularly harsh, it sent a shiver down everyone's spine.
This is the power of a Venerable-level expert. The Chaotic Poison Venerable was merely an ordinary Venerable who had gained his power through coincidence, yet even so, he was not someone they, as half-step Martial Venerables, could defy.
“Predecessor, I am willing to hand over my treasures. Please spare my life.”
At this moment, the ancestor of the Jiang family, who was being held by the Chaotic Poison Venerable, could no longer contain himself and cried out in pain, immediately handing over his storage ring.
“Hmph, that's more like it.”
The Chaotic Poison Venerable tossed the opponent to the ground. His face bore five deep black fingerprints, and the poison was so thick that his skin had been corroded. One could even see the white bones on his face. He hurriedly began to heal himself, suppressing the poison, and managed to stop its spread with great difficulty.
Seeing this, the others had no choice but to hand over all of their storage rings.
“That's enough; you have shown some sense. Get lost!”
The Chaotic Poison Venerable sneered and suddenly vanished from the scene, rushing toward the ancestral land of the Qingxue family in the Snowstorm Domain, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.
Once the Chaotic Poison Venerable left, anger and unwillingness finally appeared on everyone's faces.
The treasures on them were the fruits of their forces' hard work over the years. They never expected to be plundered by the Chaotic Poison Venerable so easily, how could they not feel resentment?
“Everyone, the Chaotic Poison Venerable has gone to the Qingxue family. With his strength, the Wan Clan cannot resist him. Now the Qingxue family, I fear, will have no share for us. I shall take my leave first.”
The Jiang family ancestor's face had several holes caused by corrosion. Although he had managed to stop the poison's intrusion, he could not heal his injuries in a short time. He spoke with a terrifying and hideous expression.
“I shall take my leave as well.”
“Hmph, may you all depart safely.”
Whoosh!
This group of experts turned to leave one after another, quickly disappearing into the void.
However, not long after everyone vanished, several sneaky figures suddenly appeared nearby.
It was the ancestors of various forces who had already left.
They had made a circle and returned, encountering each other, their faces immediately filled with embarrassment.
“Old Ancestor Jiang, why are you back instead of rushing to heal your injuries?”
“Lord Xu, aren't you the same?”
“Master Lao Gu, you're here as well?”
Upon seeing each other, they all smiled, but in their hearts, they cursed the old fox.
Though the Chaotic Poison Venerable had headed to the Qingxue family, he was but one person. Even if he conquered the Qingxue family, he could at most take away some treasure. Many of the Qingxue family's assets could not be taken. In the end, the forces that could seize control first would gain more benefits than the others.
Originally, they all intended to sneak back unnoticed, but they never expected everyone to have the same thought, leading to their shared frustration.
Since everyone thought the same, they stopped pretending and flew together into the depths of the Snowstorm Domain, eager to learn firsthand information about the Chaotic Poison Venerable and the Qingxue family.
“Cough!”
In the endless void, the Chaotic Poison Venerable flew while coughing out dark blood. This blood carried a terrifying poison that corroded the void, leaving gaping holes. The Chaotic Poison Venerable's face became extremely dark.
“Trouble is coming; the poison is becoming more terrifying. If this continues, it won’t be long before my essence completely collapses and I lose my path. This Chaotic Poison is growing stronger. I can only hope that the treasure vault of the Qingxue family has something that can cure this poison, considering that Qingxue Guhua has been in the Southern Sky Realm for so many years, perhaps there are good items that can heal this poison.”
