Chapter 2373 - 2373: Pursuit to Medicine King Mountain

The short man was not flustered at all and continued, "It's usually impossible for someone to ask the Wanyan Family for help. But, Master, don't forget, the Wanyan Family has recently issued a wanted notice and is offering a heavy reward. This reward is to help someone become a beyond peerless master!"

As soon as he said this, Wu Zishi's face changed instantly. He grabbed the short man and pulled him in front of him, saying in a low voice, "What do you mean by that?"

By this time, a minute had already passed. However, it was clear that Wu Zishi had no intention of killing the short man anymore. Because he was completely captivated by what the short man had said. This was understandable, as he, a top-level master, had struggled for decades but had never become a peak master. In his heart, he was quite frustrated. With his strength at his level, he naturally wanted to climb higher. His desire wasn't grand, just to become a peak master, but that seemed very difficult. Now the opportunity to become a beyond peerless master was in front of him, how could he not be excited? Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, he wouldn't want to miss it at all!

The short man knew that his life was now secure. He took a deep breath, looked at Wu Zishi, and said, "Master, I've tracked down Ye Qing's whereabouts!"

"Where is it!" Wu Zishi asked unequivocally, while putting the short man down, he said in a low voice, "Capture Ye Qing, and the Five Poison Sect is yours!"

At these words, everyone nearby was shocked. This reward was way too grand, wasn't it?

The crowd didn't know, that for Wu Zishi, he could even give up the Five Poison Sect to become a peak master. Let alone now, for a beyond peerless master, what was there that he couldn't let go of?

The short man was overjoyed. In truth, he never expected any reward. For him, it was good enough just to save his life. Unexpectedly, Wu Zishi even gave him such a promise. How could he not be excited in his heart?

"Master, I stole the Five Poisons Powder to deal with Ye Qing!" the short man quickly said, "We tracked Ye Qing's whereabouts and he just appeared near Medicine King Mountain. We originally planned to use the Five Poisons Powder to capture Ye Qing without bothering you, Master, and to present you with a big gift. But unexpectedly, that Ye was too slippery; we poisoned him, yet that Ye still escaped!"

The short man was obviously talking nonsense, and Wu Zishi was no fool, naturally he wouldn't be deceived by a few casual words. However, Wu Zishi didn't expose him, nodded, and said, "Ye Qing carries an antidote treasure, poison cannot harm him. To catch him, the best way is to confront him directly, don't bother with any poison!"

"Confront him directly?" the short man was startled and said, "But Ye Qing's strength..."

"What damn strength does Ye Qing have!" the nearby senior brother said in a low voice, "After Ye Qing used the power of the Buddha's Relic to defeat the Corpse Ghost Dragon last time, his meridians were destroyed, and he no longer has any Inner Strength. The current Ye Qing is just a regular person. You three can easily defeat him!"

"What?" The three short men exchanged glances and regretted immensely. They had seen the wanted notice from the Wanyan Family, recognized Ye Qing from the photo, and assumed that since the Wanyan Family valued Ye Qing so highly, he must be very powerful. That's why they went back and stole the Five Poisons Powder to deal with Ye Qing.

If they had known that Ye Qing no longer had Inner Strength, they wouldn't have wasted time and would have captured Ye Qing directly. Also, they wouldn't have stolen the sect's Five Poisons Powder, avoiding the master's discovery and the current situation. Now it was good that staying alive was already considered fortunate, regarding the Five Poison Sect even if Wu Zishi said he would give it to him. However, as long as Wu Zishi was alive, he couldn't possibly control the Five Poison Sect!

Wu Zishi had no mind to think about what the short man was actually thinking and asked in a low voice, "Where is Ye Qing now?"

"I don't know!" the short man said, "He was just in the upstairs room, but when we gave him the Five Poisons Powder and went back in half an hour later, Ye Qing was gone. It looks like he should've escaped through the back window!"

"Half an hour!" Wu Zishi furrowed his brows and said in a low voice, "He couldn't have run far; send people to check!"

"Yes!" The senior brother responded and immediately went out to investigate with his men.

The short man said, "Master, Ye Qing left through the backyard. I saw there is surveillance around the hotel. We can check the surveillance to see which direction Ye Qing left in to roughly locate him!"

"Good, I'll leave this matter to you!" Wu Zishi glanced at an elder beside him and said, "Fourth Brother, take a group of people and assist them with the surveillance. As soon as you find Ye Qing, report back to me immediately!"

"Yes!" The elder immediately got up, left with several people, and the short man to check the surveillance.

Over there, Wu Zishi sat in the room, his expressions were constantly changing. If they managed to capture Ye Qing this time, his life would be worth it. If the Wanyan Family could help him become a beyond peerless master, he would become one of the few outstanding figures in the world. Moreover, the most crucial point is living up to three hundred years old, that's what he values most.

The people below were rushing to investigate and within less than five minutes, the short man and others rushed back. They had already tracked down the car Ye Qing drove, and had begun to investigate the movement of the vehicle throughout the town. This was their Five Poison Sect's territory, tracking Ye Qing wasn't a difficult matter.

At this moment, Ye Qing was rushing towards Medicine King Mountain. He didn't dare linger in town and had to quickly get to Medicine King Mountain to pick up the person Fu Qingping mentioned.

Ye Qing didn't know who Fu Qingping was referring to, but since both Fu Qingping and Shijia said to pick him up, it shouldn't be a weakling, right? If he could quickly find this person, it would be good. At least if someone was pursuing him, this person could help hold them off.

Ye Qing was quite familiar with the area near Medicine King Mountain. Upon reaching the village entrance, Ye Qing parked the car in a hidden spot and proceeded towards Medicine King Mountain.

Previously, when Ye Qing came here, he had already experienced the mechanisms of Medicine King Mountain. To open Medicine King Mountain, all of the Divine Doctor's Orders must be collected to fully open it. Without the Divine Doctor's Order, it is impossible to enter Medicine King Mountain. And now, all of the Divine Doctor's Orders are inside Medicine King Mountain, so Ye Qing certainly didn't intend to go in.

However, outside of Medicine King Mountain there is a great formation, it's the Demon Sect's great formation. The Demon Sect originally created this formation to seal off Medicine King Mountain, but later, Ye Qing and the others broke it. Despite this, the formation still existed, but Ye Qing could easily pass through it without being affected by it.

After reaching Medicine King Mountain, Ye Qing directly passed through this Demon Gate Formation, arriving at the edge of Medicine King Mountain. In this way, even if someone pursued him, it would not be easy to find him. First of all, this person must have the ability to pass through the Demon Gate Formation.

After passing through the Demon Gate Formation, Ye Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief. Upon reaching this place, he could finally be a bit more at ease.

Looking up at Medicine King Mountain, Ye Qing couldn't help but think of Lin Tianyou, who died here, and was filled with emotions.

On Medicine King Mountain, as always, mist swirled around, making it impossible to see the situation on the mountain from the bottom. Medicine King Mountain is shrouded in mist all year round, with many maze formations outside. Unless one goes into Medicine King Mountain, it's impossible to see the full view of Medicine King Mountain.

The last time when Ye Qing and the others entered here, even the Corpse Ghost Dragon, with such strong power, failed to enter Medicine King Mountain and it showed how powerful the formation outside Medicine King Mountain is.

As dusk fell, a crescent moon slowly rose above Medicine King Mountain. Under this moonlight, the mist on Medicine King Mountain seemed to be slowly dissipating, becoming smaller, making it seem possible to see everything on Medicine King Mountain.

Ye Qing stood at the base of the mountain, surprised, watching Medicine King Mountain under the moonlight, more puzzled than ever. Under the moonlight, could the mechanisms of Medicine King Mountain possibly not work? How could that be? But if the mechanisms still worked, why was Medicine King Mountain as it was now?

While Ye Qing pondered the curious situation, a slight sound of footsteps suddenly came from a distance. The sound startled Ye Qing, and he quickly stepped back a few steps, hiding behind a boulder, listening carefully.

The sound of footsteps gradually grew louder, and it wasn't just one set of footsteps; there were several, as though a group of people were coming this way. Ye Qing slowly began to hear the conversation among these people.

"How can we find that Ye Qing on such a big mountain? Aren't we just wandering aimlessly?"

"Based on the clues, Ye Qing must have come here. Keep searching, he won't get away!"

"Finding Ye Qing, what does it have to do with us? Master promised the Five Poison Sect to that shorty, what benefit do we get? I say, the sect leader should be the senior brother!"

"Old Jiu, you better shut up. If Master hears this, he won't let you off!"

"Exactly, the senior brother is the one who can truly win everyone over, what is that shorty worth?"

It was the people from the Five Poison Sect speaking. They had pursued Ye Qing all the way to Medicine King Mountain and even passed through the outer Demon Gate Formation, now at the base of Medicine King Mountain, getting closer and closer to Ye Qing.

Ye Qing became nervous, for although he didn't know these were Five Poison Sect members, he understood they were after him. If they caught him, he'd be in trouble.
