My Master Knows It All

Cao Zhen followed Venerable Lin Feng, searching for the entrance where the poisonous energy was thinnest, while listening to Venerable Lin Feng introduce the top masters and people to watch out for in the area.

He had always thought that within Miasma Valley, the strongest were the so-called top ten masters that had been long rumored. But from Venerable Lin Feng, he learned that some existences were not at all weaker than those top ten.

And these people, who usually just secluded themselves for cultivation, were now emerging and even starting to join forces.

After circling a few times, Venerable Lin Feng selected an entrance.

And at this entrance, the nearest ones were five humans!

Although humans were rare in Miasma Valley, they were not nonexistent. It was normal for Cao Zhen not to encounter them usually, given how vast Miasma Valley was.

But now, with the relics of the Poison Tribe appearing, even though their numbers are small, they must come to compete.

Earlier he had seen another group of six humans gathered at another entrance. As for why they were huddled together, there were only two reasons.

One was sudden distrust between each other.

The other was the worry that gathering too many in one place would draw others’ attention. Now, with five or six people banding together, it’s not as noticeable. Here, groups of five or six are the most common.

However, this results in a consequence, which is that their strength is not as strong, making them easily driven away by others.

After Venerable Lin Feng descended, she walked straight to the five humans. Clearly, after circling a few times, she had chosen this entrance to enter the relics.

Cao Zhen followed behind, his eyes sweeping over the five. Among the Human Clan, the most famous sects for using poison were the Sacred Poison Sect and the Immortal Poison Sect. Yet among these five, none belonged to these two great sects.

Among the five, two were wearing the same outfits, suggesting they were from a sect, while the other three wore different clothes, without any emblems representing a great sect or sect, indicating they were likely Loose Cultivators.

When the five saw the two figures flying over, they voluntarily stepped aside. Although it was their first time seeing such a demon and beast, given their long stay in Miasma Valley, they had heard countless tales about these existences and knew what they were about.

Of the five, four were men and one was a woman. The one who seemed to be the leader, a man with a few wrinkles on his face making him look somewhat older, spoke in a deep voice, ”Let’s go, we need to find another place.”

It’s not that an entrance can only be used by one group; even if the other side controlled this passage, there wasn’t a rule preventing others from entering. He voluntarily chose to find another location.

Generally speaking, everyone intentionally avoided other equally strong groups.

After all, it’s impossible for there to be only one type of treasure in the relics. But if entering from the same path, it’s inevitable that the same treasures will be found, and no one would want to give them up, leading to fights breaking out early.

Thus, those recognized as strong tended to choose different entrances to enter the relics to avoid early fights with similar existences, making it easier to claim treasures and conserve strength for the final contest for the greatest treasure!

Now, with Venerable Lin Feng and Demon Bull controlling this entrance, if they didn’t leave, once they entered, a contest would certainly ensue, which they preferred to avoid!

As they walked, they communicated covertly.

”We humans who cultivate poison skills are still too few, only a few of us. Compared to the Seven Major Clans, our numbers are too small.

I also heard Venerable Lin Feng was strong, but we are five; if we worked together, surely they’d be the ones to lose in a real fight. But we cannot fight; our people are too few.

Now, others haven’t directly driven us away, possibly because they don’t care, or they don’t want to waste resources before entering the relics.

But if we were to fight with Venerable Lin Feng or other experts of any clan, their people would surely help, and at that point, we wouldn’t be able to remain outside the relics.”

”Enough, let’s find another place.”

”Once we enter the relics, the situation will improve. With experts from all clans gathered here, we should avoid any trouble.”

As they spoke, they searched for a suitable location.

After Cao Zhen and Venerable Lin Feng chose their spot, Cao Zhen sat down in the distance. Venerable Lin Feng’s reputation was formidable; subsequently, other experts began to arrive and select entrances but immediately flew away upon seeing Venerable Lin Feng there, not choosing this entrance.

Slowly, time passed day by day.

About a month later, Cao Zhen felt the relics behind him begin to tremble, while the poisonous energy at the entrance grew increasingly dense.

Turning slowly, Cao Zhen looked up and saw the entire palace shaking wildly.

”The relics are finally going to open!”

Around the relics, at each entrance, all the experts stood up, eyes blazing as they looked intently at the entrance. This was the acknowledged relic of the Poison Tribe, the most adept at using poison!
