"Dear fellow brothers and sisters, let's go to meet the master together." The eldest brother greeted everyone with a smile and did not go alone. "Hello, eldest brother." Except for the second brother, everyone responded politely. At this time, a soldier from the mansion came forward to lead the way: "My lords, please come this way." Yi Han's heart tightened. In the past, meetings were always held in the meeting hall, but this time the direction was different. He heard Senior Sister Mu muttering quietly: "Hey, isn't this in the meeting hall?" Everyone looked puzzled, but the soldier did not respond. Soon, they were taken to an unfamiliar underground passage. After turning two corners, the soldier turned the dragon head of the stone gate, and a secret room appeared. The little apprentice sister shouted happily: "Master, I miss you." But there was no response from the secret room.
Yi Han and others walked into the secret room, and the stone door slammed shut. Situ Yun was seen wearing a black Taoist robe, sitting on the armchair with his eyes closed. He did not look like he was over 200 years old. "Disciple greets Master!" The six people knelt down and saluted. After a long time without a response, the little sister looked up in surprise: "Hey, Master?" In the past, when they performed ceremonies, Situ Yun would use his magic to lift them up early, but he didn't do that this time. He quickly looked up with the others in confusion and was immediately shocked. Situ Yun was staring at them with a sinister look and malicious intent. After being looked at like this, Yi Han felt as if he was being stared at by a vicious tongue, and felt a chill in his heart. He quickly lowered his head to avoid this gaze. The junior sister's face also changed slightly and she stopped talking. Yi Han knew that Situ Yun's conspiracy had begun. Then, Situ Yun's unusually cold voice came: "It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but only a moment to deploy it. I will get straight to the point. I summoned you here to do something." "Master, please tell us what you want us to do. We disciples will do our best to accomplish it." The eldest brother responded first, his tone firm and sincere, but mixed with a bit of panic. The expressions of the others were the same as his, and they no longer dared to smile as they did in the past. "Very good, what you need to do is to sneak into Yunxi Sect and secretly find a treasure that Yunxi Sect once lost and bring it back. As for what the treasure is, you don't have to find out, just know that it is a treasure." Situ Yun was straightforward without any polite words. Then he said, "You will have time today to prepare. Leave at 11:00 . tomorrow. I will be waiting for you at the East City Gate. Walk eastward for more than half a month, and a disciple from the Yunxi Sect will come to pick you up." "Yes." The six people answered in unison. Yi Han was very confused. If this is the case, then I am really worrying about nothing.
However, Yi Han had not forgotten Situ Yun's sinister expression back then, and the look in his eyes just now was enough to prove that he was not a good person. Yi Han didn't believe it would be so easy. Sure enough, Situ Yun stretched out his hand to a small leather bag at his waist, and six red pills suddenly appeared in his hand. With a wave of his hand, pills flew towards the six of them and hovered in front of them. Then, Situ Yun's cold and complacent voice came: "After taking this poison pill, you only have five years. After five years, you will die from the poison. Whoever can bring back the treasure during this period will get the antidote." "Remember, don't try to find a way to detoxify. This poison cannot be cured below the Jindan stage." "Don't even think of anything bad, because I will take good care of your family here." Situ Yun stroked his beard and laughed sinisterly. "You are all smart people. I believe you will not do anything to disappoint your teacher." As Situ Yun's sinister voice came one after another, Yi Han felt something was wrong. Yi Han didn’t know what the Jindan stage was. But this poison must be difficult to dissolve, just as Situ Yun said. Yi Han knew very well that he did not have the strength to fight against Situ Yun at the moment. But now that things have come to this, what else can we do? As his thoughts raced, Yi Han quickly analyzed four points in his mind. First, Situ Yun did not dare to enter the territory of Yunxi Sect. Second, this treasure is within the Yunxi Sect, but it is difficult to find and there is no specific location. Third, this treasure is very important to Situ Yun, or in other words, it is very important to immortal cultivators. Fourthly, there is a high possibility that Situ Yun himself does not know what the treasure is. "It seems that this treasure is the only way to survive! But we don't even know what the treasure is, and the hope of finding it is very slim. But man proposes, and we have five years, so it is still possible. Besides, there is no other choice now..." Yi Han muttered secretly in his heart. But at this moment, my thoughts were instantly pulled back by the terrified shout of the third senior brother: "No, no! I don't want to eat any poison pills, and I don't want to find any treasures. I don't want to be your apprentice anymore..." The third senior brother was horrified and seemed unable to accept this fact. He turned around and fled in panic. At this time, Yi Han saw Situ Yun's old face turned cold, his eyes flashed with ferocity, and his hands formed into claws. Suddenly, a giant red hand appeared in the air and grabbed the third senior brother. Then the giant hand suddenly tightened along with Situ Yun's claws, and the third senior brother immediately bled from all seven orifices and his body was twisted. A scream and the sound of broken bones echoed in the secret room. The third senior brother was dead beyond deadness. Yi Han turned pale with horror, his body shaking like a sieve as he knelt on the ground.
He lowered his head, but a trace of unwillingness and determination flashed in his eyes. He was secretly thinking of a countermeasure in his mind, but he didn't dare to show it on the surface. He was really afraid that the other party would act impulsively and end his life. The eldest brother had a solemn expression, his teeth were clenched tightly, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Senior Sister Mu’s originally fair face was now completely bloodless, her eyes were filled with panic, but she still pretended to be calm, but her slightly trembling hands revealed her uneasiness. The little sister sobbed softly, tears falling to the ground, her voice full of helplessness and fear: "Master, why do you have to do this..." Situ Yun killed the chicken to scare the monkeys, then turned around and made a magic seal with his hands, catching the five of them in mid-air. "This is the consequence of betraying your master! The third brother is a waste and it seems that he is not very smart." Situ Yun snorted coldly, waved his hand, and threw them to the ground. "Take the pill immediately and remember what your master said." Situ Yun ordered viciously. Yi Han didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and crawled over with the others like a stray dog. He grabbed the pill and swallowed it in one gulp, not even daring to look at it again. Although he didn't want to take the poison pill, he was now at the mercy of others and had no choice but to take the poison first, leaving his body useful, and then look for a way to detoxify it later. "Very good, very good! Hahaha..." Situ Yun stroked his beard, raised his head and laughed uncontrollably. His laughter was extremely sinister and complacent. "Don't let anyone know about this matter and the conversation here today, including your parents." Situ Yun warned again viciously. "Everyone go down and make preparations." Then he waved his hand, and the stone door opened with a rumble. Yi Han and his fellow disciples responded under the powerful pressure, then quickly left, covering their chests. Following at the back, Yi Han saw that the four of them all looked distraught, with their heads hung and their steps as slow as if they were filled with lead. They probably had no idea how they walked out of the Imperial Master's Mansion. The little sister in front of him was even more unsteady on her feet, and she kept muttering to herself: "How could this happen, how could this happen..." Yi Han had long seen through Situ Yun's true face, so he didn't look as distraught as they did. They walked together to a place not far from the entrance of the Imperial Master's Mansion, and stood there for a long while before the four of them gradually came to their senses.
