All the senior brothers and masters looked at Wang Lih.

"You can say that, do you understand what you mean by 'heroic warriors', 'warriors', 'what do you think we should do?" Ximen Tianyu asked. Even though he asked this question, it was rare for a thirteen year old Wang Lih to speak in such a manner. However, no matter how extravagant his words were, it was useless for him to not take any action.

"Of course." Wang Lih smiled.

"If I had studied martial arts in the Youlin sect, with my abilities, I definitely wouldn't have been so idle as to do nothing. Within a circumference of ten thousand li, the capital was not peaceful at all, let alone the borderlands. Many robbers rob passing merchants or innocent people, killing many people. Since we are martial artists, we will not let them go! "

"If there are still any irregularities in the empire, I will go and punish them." Wang Lih cupped his hands, "Please forgive my lack of experience, I can only do this."

"Hahaha." Liang Ming just laughed loudly and looked at Ximen Tianyu.

The eyes of both of them burned with excitement.

"Very good, Young Brother Wang. I just hope that you can grow up in the future and see the people of this society. This empire is much more complicated than what you have seen! Bandits may not be evil, but officials and merchants may not be kind. Alright, let's not talk too much. " Ximen Tianyu said, "Brothers, get up and introduce yourself to Sixth Junior Brother!"

"Yes." Wang Lih nodded and looked towards his seniors.

"Senior Brother and Liang Ming, we've met several times." Liang Ming stood up and cupped his hands.

"Second Senior Brother Ximen Haoyu, I am the youngest of the five brothers." A senior brother stood up and said.

"Third Senior Brother, Mu Bu. Fourth Senior Brother and I will compete with Tan Jian in Sun Steel Pavilion today. You have also seen it." With a short scar between their foreheads, Mu Bu of Wu Steel and Fourth Senior Brother Tan Jian both stood up to introduce.

"Fifth Senior Brother, Yu Peng." Fifth Senior Brother also stood up and said respectfully.

Wang Lih smiled, "I have already memorized the names of the few Seniors. I hope that in the future, all of you seniors will give us some pointers. "

The other senior apprentice-brothers all nodded.

"No need for that."

"Since everyone has returned to the same sect, there's no need to be so polite." Several of his senior brothers said.

"Alright, let's disperse!" At this moment, Ximen Tianyu also stood up.

….

After an hour, all the senior brothers had already returned to their rooms.

Wang Lih was assigned a small room by himself and was in the same yard as his five senior brothers.

Candles burned in the corners of the room, illuminating the small, simple bedroom. At this moment, Wang Lih had already washed his face and washed his clothes. As he sat quietly on the bed, he was thinking about some things and cultivating the "Burning Heart Arts" at the same time.

It had only been half a year since he left the mountain, and he had successfully joined a new sect.

If he were to cultivate it to a different level compared to the new martial arts and cultivation techniques he learned in the past, his martial power would be able to increase by another level. However, he had always been stuck in the heart of Wang Lih, and the letter from the abbot had yet to reach Ancestor Master Hui.

Although the lord's words weren't urgent, Wang Lih knew that sending a letter wasn't about making wine. The longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable it would become. Since he had matters to attend to, he might as well deliver it as soon as possible. Moreover, it was Reverend Fang's testamentary edict. In Wang Lih's heart, it was as painful as burning flames.

Dovetoxin Forest!

When would he be able to enter and deliver the letter?

Surrounded by poisonous insects and wild beasts, it was extremely dangerous, and it was one of the three most dangerous places in the empire. If that was the case, how far would he have to reach in order to overcome this obstacle?

The Burning Heart was like fire.

Wang Lih was extremely worried day and night.

At this moment, the door to the room was pushed open. A tall and burly figure walked in. Candle illuminated his face. It was his Master, Ximen Tianyu. Wang Lih, who was sitting cross-legged, quickly stood up and saluted respectfully, "Master." However, Ximen Tianyu merely waved his hand.

After Ximen Tianyu sat down on the mat in the center of the hall, Wang Lih also sat opposite his master and asked, "Master, what did you not tell me just now?"

"Weren't you in a hurry to go to the Dovetoxin Forest?" Ximen Tianyu said.

"Yes." Wang Lih nodded.

"Just now, I went back to my room, browsed through all of the books in the room, and helped you organize some information on Dovetoxin Forest. It might be of some help to you." As Ximen Tianyu said this, he took out an old book that was yellowing and turning black. The book was rather thin, but with one of the books broken, it was obvious that it was very old. Master put the book on the table in front of him. Wang Lih only saw that the title page had "Explanation of Black Yi Dynasty in a Dangerous Place". Looks like the dangers of Dovetoxin Forest were all recorded in the book.

"The Dovetoxin Forest is recorded in the third part of this book. It is extremely detailed, and I have already marked out some important things." Ximen Tianyu said, "If you want to go, I won't stop you. However, after he finished reading all these, he would ponder over it for the night. Tell me what you want to say tomorrow morning. I'm going to bed. " After Ximen Tianyu handed over the book, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Thank you, Master." Wang Lih cupped his hands respectfully and watched his master leave. Then, he started to flip through the books in his hands.

Under the weak light of the candle, every word on the book was very eye-catching.

On the book:

The Dovetoxin Forest was located in the eastern part of the dynasty, in the southern part of the Eastern Region. Two hundred and eighty kilometers wide, roughly one out of fifty people had access to all of the Haizhou. One could often see hundreds of different poisonous insects and wild beasts. The flowers, plants, and trees there were all extremely poisonous, which made it so that very few people approached them. It also made it one of the top three most dangerous places in the dynasty, and it was not a fake name.

"Dovetoxin Forest..." While reading, Wang Lih muttered to himself.

Within a circumference of two hundred and eighty kilometers, a radius of sixty kilometers was called the periphery of Dovetoxin Forest. Within this 60 mile radius, there was no poisonous substance. It was much safer than the deeper areas.

The deeper one went, the deeper one reached the Dovetoxin Forest. There were a lot of poisonous plants and trees, and wild animals were everywhere. There are lake marshes, small valleys and other complex terrain, deep must think. The depth of the area covered a hundred and eighty miles, covered the sky with trees, and filled with dangers.

However, the deeper they went, the more dangerous it was.

Wang Lih became suspicious as he read.

If that was the case, then what about the Five Poison Hall?

However, this book did not have any records about it. It only contained a line of words that read, "The deeper you go, the more dangerous it is, and there is no survey done." This deeper level must be where the Five Poison Hall Fang Ming mentioned was. Based on what was written in the book, he already understood the location of the Dovetoxin Forest. But how to get in?

The book also said:

If you want to delve deeper into Dovetoxin Forest, you can go by land or by water. If one walked overland, there were two entrances to the Dovetoxin Forest. One was directly to the west of Dovetoxin Forest, the other was to the southeast of Dovetoxin Forest. There were relay stations at both entrances and a house called "Wood House" was located two hundred and forty miles away from the capital at the west entrance. As for the southeastern entrance, there was a place called "Bird Village". After travelling to the east for four hundred kilometers, it would reach the Xia City. If you take the water route, you can enter from the three branches of the Xia Haijiang River that flow into the Dovetoxin Forest located in the northwest, south and east. However, because there might be natives living inside the Dovetoxin Forest, none of those who had sailed before returned.

None of them returned!

These four words were like a brand, intimidating Wang Lih's eyes. None of the people who had entered the boat had returned. One could see the viciousness of Five Poison Hall. All outsiders would be annihilated!

Thinking about this, Wang Lih couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Wouldn't it be a pity if he was killed in the middle of delivering a letter without being able to explain himself?

Or perhaps, he was forced to stay in the Five Poison Hall and not go out to prevent the matter of his Five Poison Hall from being leaked. None of them could have died, or could have stayed in the Five Poison Hall.

If he handed the letter to Ancestor Master Hui, could he still come out?

But even so, he had to go in first.

If he wanted to enter the Five Poison Hall, he would have to go through land. And if one walked on the land, then the western entrance that was currently the closest to the Youlin Sect, which was two hundred and forty kilometers away from the capital, would be the western entrance. After that, walking a hundred and twenty kilometers deeper, he would arrive at the edge of Five Poison Hall!

The Youlin Sect was located one hundred ninety kilometers southwest of the capital.

The capital was still two hundred and forty kilometers away from the Wood House and four hundred and thirty kilometers away. Perhaps if he traveled for three days, he would be able to arrive at the Wood House after crossing the vast plains. However, after entering the Dovetoxin Forest, the horse no longer had any use. All journeys were made on foot. In such a dangerous environment, a day … Perhaps being able to walk twenty li was already quite good.

Even though he was being very careful, he still had to ensure that no accidents happened. He could only travel twenty miles a day.

According to this calculation, one would have to walk within the Dovetoxin Forest for at least twelve days before reaching an unexplored depth. The Five Poison Hall that Fang Chang spoke of was deep within this place!

He would need fifteen days to make this trip! No matter how long it would take for him to return, or whether he could return, it was something he would think about after arriving at the Five Poison Hall.

Wang Lih thought about it and his heart was drenched in cold sweat.

Or perhaps, it was because the last key to his revenge was Hall Master and Ancestor Master Hui!

….

After putting away the book and blowing out the candle, Wang Lih decided to go to bed.

"Whooosh." A cold wind blew, and it seemed as if another guest had arrived in the room.

"Who is it!"

Wang Lih sat up in alarm. He had noticed the commotion. It was as if he was tiptoeing, as if he was pacing. In any case, someone must have entered the room!

A pale, wrinkled, and withered hand silently rested on his shoulder.

Wang Lih was shocked and turned around abruptly!

This figure wrapped in a large black robe and wearing a golden mask appeared once again without a sound. Regardless of his high skill, just finding Wang Lih time and time again was enough to make Wang Lih feel uneasy.

The mysterious Black Cloaked Man who claimed to be a good friend of Reverend, and had sought him out in the Dragon Tavern Prison!

Although they were good friends, since he came for the second time, Wang Lih became suspicious. If that was the case, why cover his face? This golden-faced Black Cloaked Man must have some other intentions.

But now it was here again, he had to deal with it.

"Fu Xi?"

At this time, Wang Lih had already returned to his whole body, looking at the tall Fu Xi as he asked.

"His memory is quite good, little monk, but he has not been seen for more than half a year. In the blink of an eye, you have actually joined the Youlin Sect. " Through the golden mask, Fu Xi transmitted a deep voice that made people tremble. His entire body was exuding pressure and fear.

"How did you know … Forget it, let's not bring it up. " Wang Lih shook his head. "Why are you looking for me this time? Are you trying to spin my bones again?" Thinking of how Fu Xi was so skilled, knowing that he had been involved in this matter should not be a problem.

"Hur hur." Fu Xi sneered, but didn't say anything.
