The old man laughed triumphantly. He knew he was going to die, but to perish together with Ye Cangtian, a Heavenly level expert, was enough to satisfy him for a lifetime!
Hehe.
Ye Cangtian sneered disdainfully, then said, "Are you getting happy too soon?"
After a pause, Ye Cangtian continued, "I've killed many people from the Five Poisons Sect. You should have received this information quite a bit, right? Do you think I would fall for your low-class tricks again?"
What!
Upon hearing this, the old man suddenly thought of something.
He instinctively turned his head to look at Ye Cangtian's arm. He saw that the arm was perfectly fine, with no signs of poisoning at all. He immediately lost his composure.
"How is this possible?"
"Even if you are a Heavenly level expert, you shouldn't be unharmed!"
Hearing the old man's voice, Ye Cangtian chuckled and then said, "How about this, I'll ask you a question. If you tell me the truth, I'll give you an explanation. What do you say?"
"Deal!"
As soon as the words fell, the old man agreed without hesitation. He was genuinely curious how the other party managed it.
Only by knowing this could he die with his eyes open!
"Tell me, where is the headquarters of the Five Poisons Sect?" Ye Cangtian asked directly.
This…
The old man hesitated slightly, then gritted his teeth, took out a map from his spatial pouch, and threw it directly into Ye Cangtian's hand.
"It's all marked on here. Now can you tell me!"
For the old man, this was no time to consider loyalty, nor did he need to worry about the disaster it might bring to the Five Poisons Sect.
He was dying anyway, so such post-mortem matters were of no concern to him!
Furthermore, he rather hoped Ye Cangtian would attack the headquarters. If that were the case, perhaps the headquarters' strength could eliminate Ye Cangtian.
This would be considered revenge for him.
Taking the map, Ye Cangtian briefly scanned it and was pleasantly surprised to find that.
The map not only marked the location of the Five Poisons Sect headquarters but also the locations of its five branches.
Moreover, the other party had no time to cheat, so this map was definitely genuine.
Thus, he could completely use the map to annihilate all five branches one by one!
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian glanced at the old man and said, "You kept your promise, and I won't break mine! To tell you the truth, the cultivation technique I practice can devour all poisons!"
In the absence of outsiders, Ye Cangtian disdained to lie about such matters.
"What!"
Upon hearing this, the old man's eyes widened. He had genuinely never heard of such a peculiar cultivation technique.
But he quickly accepted the reality, as there were indeed many wonders in the world.
However, the old man now felt a sense of dejection.
He had thought Ye Cangtian possessed the legendary Myriad Poisons Physique. If so, he would have found hope for the Five Poisons Sect.
Alas, alas…
On the other side, seeing the old man's silence, Ye Cangtian hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you have any last words?"
Hmph!
The old man heard this and snorted coldly, saying sinisterly, "Don't give me that fake benevolence. People are dead, what last words are there? Make your move!"
"Alright, as you wish!"
Ye Cangtian responded, and without hesitation, he applied slight force with his hand. With a crisp snap, the old man's neck snapped, and he fell dead on the spot.
…
Having finished everything, Ye Cangtian returned to the cave.
Seeing Ye Cangtian return safely, Yao Bao'er and the other two immediately went to greet him.
"Junior brother, now that the matter of the Three-Eyed Ice Toad is over, shouldn't we go and see the secret realm?" Lan Yue asked.
Ye Cangtian nodded and said, "Bao'er, you and Zhang Yong stay outside!"
After all, dangers lurked everywhere within the secret realm. With Yao Bao'er and Zhang Yong's insufficient combat power, Ye Cangtian was worried he couldn't protect them, hence this decision.
"Uh…"
Yao Bao'er was slightly taken aback and then asked, "Boss, I understand what you mean, but are you sure there are no people from the Five Poisons Sect outside? Or any other demonic beasts?"
Alright.
Ye Cangtian sighed helplessly. Yao Bao'er was right.
Although the people from the Five Poisons Sect had been dealt with, he didn't know if these were all the people sent by the sect.
Moreover, in this icy and snowy land, most areas were unexplored. It wasn't impossible for demonic beasts to appear.
In this case, if he left Yao Bao'er and Zhang Yong behind, or sent them back, he truly couldn't rest easy.
Helplessly, Ye Cangtian knew it was better to bring the two along for the continued adventure, as their safety would be somewhat more assured by his side.
"Squeak!"
Not long after, Ye Cangtian pushed open the ancient stone door in the cave.
From the outside, the stone door was pitch black, and nothing could be seen. However, when Ye Cangtian took the lead into it, he discovered another world within.
It was a vast, white ice plain.
At first glance, there was only a castle on the ice plain, with nothing else.
But upon closer inspection, large white figures were sprawled across the ice plain.
As Ye Cangtian and the others just entered the gate, these figures all stood up, their eyes opening with a bloodthirsty crimson glare.
"Ancient Ice Bears!"
Ye Cangtian and the others were no strangers to the massive figures before them; they were all recorded in the intelligence database of the Hidden Organization.
The only discrepancy with the records was the peculiar eyes of the ice bears.
However, Ye Cangtian paid no mind to these matters.
According to the records, although Ancient Ice Bears were powerful and possessed both offensive and defensive capabilities, the ice bears before them only exuded a Earth level aura.
At best, this posture could only pose a threat to Yao Bao'er and Zhang Yong.
In front of Ye Cangtian and Lan Yue, they were simply not enough.
The next moment, Ye Cangtian took the lead and walked forward directly.
Seeing Ye Cangtian slowly approaching, the ice bear pack roared in anger and began to surround them.
"Beasts, retreat!"
Ye Cangtian swept his gaze over the surrounding ice bears, a cold shout escaping his lips. At the same time, a powerful aura emanated from his body, spreading outwards.
"Roar!"
Sensing Ye Cangtian's aura, most of the ice bears revealed fear in their eyes and immediately prostrated themselves on the ground.
The concept of "the strong are respected" was an eternal truth.
However, only one ice bear continued to roar furiously, looking extremely ferocious towards them.
Looking at its size and the aura it emitted, everyone knew that this was not only the Ice Bear King but also a genuine demonic beast!
"Heh, beast, are you still planning to fight me?"
"Do you really think you can stop me!"
Ye Cangtian's gaze fell upon the ice bear, and his expression turned grim.
If these ice bears had been sensible, he wouldn't have acted, saving himself some trouble.
But the Ice Bear King before him was being unyielding, which displeased him somewhat.
"Roar!"
The Ice Bear King only responded to Ye Cangtian's words with a roar.
As a creature of demonic beast level, its intelligence was no less than that of humans, so it could naturally understand his words.
The next moment, the Ice Bear King charged towards Ye Cangtian, its human-sized claws striking like giant hammers towards Ye Cangtian.
"Stubborn and foolish!"
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian's eyes turned cold, clearly igniting with anger.
This was not a usual situation. In the past, he often played the role of a pig to eat the tiger. It was acceptable for the Ice Bear King to attack him.
But now, even though he had clearly unleashed his Heavenly level expert aura, the Ice Bear King had still initiated the attack.
This was a provocation to him and a provocation to the dignity of a Heavenly level expert.
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian didn't hesitate and directly threw a punch to meet it.
After a loud bang, possibly because Ye Cangtian's anger was mixed into the attack, the Ice Bear King was directly sent flying.
Its entire front paw had been disabled and dared not touch the ground.
But the Ice Bear King did not retreat. Instead, it roared and charged towards Ye Cangtian again.
"Since you want to die, I will grant you your wish!"
As Ye Cangtian uttered these words in a low voice, the Death Scythe appeared in his hand.
With the swing of the Death Scythe, blood flowers instantly bloomed on the Ice Bear King's body.
A moment later.
When Ye Cangtian stopped his attack, the Ice Bear King had already fallen to the ground, unable to move, its pupils widening.
At this sight, the surrounding ice bears became even more fearful, prostrating themselves and retreating much further before stopping.
Clang!
At this moment, a faint sound was heard.
