Early in the in the morning, before the sun rose, Kent came out of the eternal sun sect. Just as he prepared to fly into the sky, a slender young man with a pale face stopped him with stretched hands.
“How are you?” Kent asked impatiently, as he was getting late.
“My name is Larry. I’m the heir of the Moonbrook family. I need a small favor from you.” Larry asked while blocking Kent’s path.
After hearing the name of the Moonbrook family name, Kent stopped for a second. “What do you want?” Kent asked Larry while checking the eastern sky.
“I want the keystone for your personal room in the Arena. I will return the key after checking the room.” Larry replied in a serious tone.
Kent looked at Larry from top to bottom. “Sorry, I don’t have time for this conversation now. We can meet later.” Kent replied hastily as he prepared to fly.
“No…” Larry again blocked Kent’s path. “It’s really urgent. I’ve been trying to reach you for the last 10 days. Someone was struck inside that personal room. Give me the key.” Larry stretched his hand with a threatening look.
“I really don’t have time for this nonsense. The room was thoroughly cleaned before passing the key to me. So, stop wasting my time.”
As Jabil pushed Larry back with a heavy breath, Kent flew into the air. Larry, who fell to the ground, stared at Kent’s leaving back with a murderous look.
“How dare you treat me like trash? I will make you pay for this.” Larry cursed with an angry roar. His fists clenched in anger as he began thinking of ways to take revenge on Kent.

Golden Bamboo City…
Kent reached the herbal store of the Moonbrook family, where he last met Maya, the poison clan princess. By the time he reached the entrance, Maya was already waiting for him in a shiny black dress. Her face was covered under a butterfly-wing-shaped mask.
“Follow me.”
Without waiting for his reply, she immediately began walking on the empty roads of the capital. Kent followed her from a distance while checking his surroundings.
After taking several twists and turns, Maya entered a small ornament store, which looked old and tattered. The workers inside the store completely ignored Maya and Kent, who were walking deep into the store.
As they reached the end, Maya showed a token to an old man who was sleeping with a loud snore. Without opening his eyes, the old man lifted his hand and snapped his fingers. Immediately, a door appeared on the rocky wall.
After stepping inside the door, both Maya and Kent teleported to a different location. The door turned into a wall again, and the old man’s snore continued.
In the next instance, Kent opened his eyes inside a rocky cave. As they came out of the rocky cave, Kent was greeted with vast underground structures. Kent furrowed his eyebrows and was promptly stunned after surveying his surroundings.
“What was this place?”
He looked around and noticed he was below the surface of the earth. But the place was beautifully crafted with mountain rock, and underground rivers were passing in the middle. What a scenic view!
A huge stone pillar, over 100 feet tall, stood not far from Kent. Two large, imposing words were elaborately carved on it — ‘POISON CLAN!’
“How is it? Do you like my place?” Maya, who is starting at the surprised face of Kent, asked him with a curious smile.
“Beautiful!” Kent uttered while taking a look all around.
‘Damn, this is Poison Clan?’ Kent could not help but feel shocked. Now he understood why the Eternal Sun Sect failed to locate the poison clan.
The Poison Clan was a man-made underground structure, situated not too far away from the Eternal Sun Sect. It would roughly take an hour to reach the sect.
The dense forest area formed a barrier of protection for the Poison clan. There are many adventurers who tried to find this place out of revenge and curiosity. But all of them disappeared permanently.
As Kent was following Maya towards the sect, he noticed there were tons of valuable herbs nearby!
“Damn, there were rare spiritual herbs, Lingzhi mushrooms, five-lobbed star leaves, tri-color flowers, and even elemental fruits. The poison clan is definitely not a small sect!” Kent thought while staring at the hundreds of rare herbs with yearning looks.
All these herbs are precious ingredients for refining pills and potions! If Kent can harvest all these plants, he can refine any pill he wants!
“Kent, we are going to enter the gathering. Follow me closely.” Maya replied as they approached the central hall, which is guarded by the disciples of the poison clan.
Kent was immediately dumbfounded when he arrived at the gathering.
There were thousands of disciples lined up in neat rows. All of them wore black uniforms and a feathery badge on their chests. In front of them was an ornate throne adorned with numerous snake hoods on top.
The throne of cobras was shining on its own and appeared to be carved out of the moonstone! The throne alone is worth a huge fortune.
A woman sat atop the throne. She seemed gentle and dignified, with the temperament of a queen!
“Kent, she is my mom. Also, she is the one who proposed to peak master of Rising Sun Peak.” Maya spoke in a hushed tone.
The middle-aged women had the refined facial features and beauty of a goddess. She wore a crimson red dress, which highlighted her voluptuous curves and gave her an alluring sense of beauty.
Gulp.
Kent was surprised to see her beauty and could not help but swallow his saliva. Kent never expected the lady who proposed to his master to be so beautiful.
“Kent, lower your head. You shouldn’t see the matriarch directly.” Maya pinched Kent on the shoulder, who is still fascinated by the matriarch’s beauty.
Kent hurriedly moved his gaze away while cursing his mind. Kent felt anxious for a moment as he wondered how the queen would react to his brazen act. Continue your adventure at freewebnovel
The queen, who already saw Kent’s longing gaze, smiled casually. “Kent, right?” The matriarch asked slowly. Her tone of voice was gentle, but with a hint of authority.
