Elder Jinchan listened and glanced at Na Su and then at Chen Jie, suddenly revealing a cold smile: "Iâve always believed Jinchan doesnât provoke unless provoked."
"Today, youâve dared to do this, kid. Iâll remember it. When this matter is settled, Iâll claim your life!"
Elder Jinchan said this and then uttered, "Letâs go."
After speaking, he angrily left the Divine Temple, watched by those present.
Na Su breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Chen Jie: "How could it not be found?"
Chen Jie glanced at Na Su: "Young Master, Iâve turned over the entire Golden Toad Territory but found no trace. With Mr. Zhang around, you could ask him."
Hearing this, Na Su fell silent for a long moment: "Never mind, things have come to this, letâs forget about it."
Then Na Su warned Chen Jie: "But be careful over the next few days, Coyote. Elder Jinchan wonât let this go easily."
Chen Jie replied: "Yes."
"Alright, you may leave."
Na Su waved his hand, and Chen Jie was about to depart but hesitated for a moment before stepping back.
Na Su looked at him: "Do you have something to say?"
Chen Jie faced Na Su: "Saint Heir, that Mr. Zhang..."
Na Su asked: "What about him?"
Chen Jie hesitated for a moment: "Iâm afraid he has other thoughts. I chatted with him today, and he seemed very interested in the Heavenly Divine Book."
Considering this, Na Su said: "Hmm, I understand."
After speaking, Chen Jie withdrew.
Not long after, Mr. Zhang returned and briefed Na Su again about todayâs events. He then looked at Na Su: "Saint Heir, Coyote, Iâm feeling something isnât right."
Na Su listened, looking suspiciously at Mr. Zhang.
Mr. Zhang was taken aback by Na Suâs gaze and quickly said: "Saint Heir, Iâm just speaking recklessly; donât take it to heart."
Na Su replied: "Hmm, alright."
Shortly after, Mr. Zhang withdrew and encountered Chen Jie outside.
Chen Jie and he exchanged a glance, then nodded to one another.
Mutually understanding without words.
...
At this time outside, Elder Jinchan listened to a report from his subordinate, Chang Er.
"Elder, Chen Jiusi tipped us off, telling us that Coyote is hidden in a cellar beneath his small cabin."
Upon hearing these words, Elder Jinchan said: "Alright, I understand. Inform the others to bring people and follow me."
"Where are you heading, Elder?"
Elder Jinchan replied coldly: "Heh, Coyote raided our Golden Toad Territory; weâre going to burn Coyoteâs house and collect a bit of interest first."
"Oh, yes!"
...
Divine Temple.
"Saint Heir, Elder Jinchan went directly to Coyoteâs home with followers and burnt Coyoteâs residence to ashes."
Upon hearing this, Na Su rubbed his temples and said: "Hmm, so be it."
"Letting him vent his anger is also good."
After saying this, the Saint Heir rubbed his temples again: "Things are not going smoothly at all. Where on earth is Linglong hidden? I hope it wonât affect our Grand Sacrifice the day after tomorrow!"
...
Two days later, the Gu God Valley Grand Sacrifice.
The Gu God Valley Grand Sacrifice is a grand ceremony of the Five Poison Sect, held only when a new Sect Hierarch or temporary leader is appointed.
It marks the start of a new legacy, and only through the Grand Sacrifice can the Gu God recognize the new temporary leader, allowing this legacy to continue.
Hence, itâs highly valued by everyone in the Five Poison Sect.
The entire Five Poison Sect was festively decorated, resembling a grand celebration.
Even happier than during the New Year.
The sacrifice took place at Gu God Valley, which is normally a Forbidden Land, but today itâs open for access. Before entering, the Gu God must be fed to induce brief dormancy.
Once the Gu God is placated, Five Poison Sect members can enter Gu God Valley.
Early that morning, Chen Jie, along with Na Su and their large entourage, entered Gu God Valley, where the Guardian Elder, the only elder indifferent to worldly affairs among the five elders, prepared the sacrificial offerings.
The offerings were the Three Sacrificial Animals: cow, sheep, pig.
The heads of the three animals were placed as offerings on the altar. Then, the group conducted a celestial ritual in front of the altar.
On the altar was a single tablet inscribed with: God of War!
God of War Chiyou was known to Chen Jie. Everyone offered their respects in front of the tablet. After a long time, the Guardian Elder took out a sundial, checked the sky and said: "Everyone, this sacrifice requires you to enter Gu God Valley to retrieve the treasure brought by Sacred Light to crown the Saint Heir."
"However, the Gu Godâs dormancy is brief, lasting only about six hours. If everyone is unable to emerge from Gu God Valley by nightfall, weâll seal it again, and then it will be fate that dictates life and death, fortune and destiny."
After speaking, the Guardian Elder handed Na Su three sticks of incense: "Saint Heir, light the Holy Incense. Burning it brings auspicious time before it extinguishes."
This incense burns very slowly, lasting around six hours.
Na Su lit the Holy Incense and then turned to Han Miaozhen: "Han Dharma King, thank you today for the presence of the Zoroastrian Sect at the ceremony."
Han Miaozhen smiled: "The Five Poison Sect is a friend of our Holy Fire Sect, too. Moreover, it was thanks to the Saint Heirâs grace that todayâs our Elder Quan got a chance to enter Gu God Valley, so itâs I who should thank the Saint Heir."
Hearing this, Na Su waved his hand: "Letâs not talk about this; in the future, with Five Poison Sectâs affairs, I hope Han Dharma King will be of great assistance."
Han Miaozhen laughed: "Haha, alright, alright."
Then Na Su looked at the gathered group below, which included Granny She, Elder Jinchan, Poison Scorpion Elder, Centipede Elder.
Mr. Zhang and Coyote, who strongly desired to enter.
And Elder Quan from afar.
The group stood there, and Na Su said: "Everyone, proceed!"
