Many people knelt on the ground with a small bowl in front of them, constantly begging passersby for help. However, passersby were able to completely ignore this situation and pretended not to see it.
“These beggars are not members of our Qianlong Sect. Before the seclusion, our sect was always recruiting outsiders, and many people joined during that time.” Qianwei had a fairly comprehensive grasp of this history, and Chen Zhou immediately asked.
"Then why keep him in the sect?" Chen Zhou asked slowly.
"This is all about that old stubborn faction. These are all things that were done by that old stubborn faction. That's what makes me angry at these people who want to get money without doing any work and just kneeling down."
Qian continued to explain on Chen Zhou's behalf.
The four entered the vast space, where Chen Zhou was stopped by the others.
These people were all around the same age as Su Feng Wo Yuan, but their strength was only at the mid-stage of the Fusion Device realm. Chen Zhou was naturally not afraid of them, since he hadn't done anything wrong.
"Qianwei, stop! Who are these people? How could you bring outsiders into the Qianlong Sect without permission?" the Qianlong Sect member asked.
Just now, Chen Zhou saw a member of the Hidden Dragon Sect carrying a weapon walking towards him, and Chen Zhou immediately felt the pressure increase.
A powerful individual during the heart-fluttering phase!
They are slowly approaching.
Chen Zhou felt a sense of familiarity with this giant blade.
"You've brought outsiders into the sect without permission, you're guilty of espionage. Tell me, have you done anything wrong?!" the giant wielding a massive blade said slowly.
"Reporting to Your Excellency! I did nothing wrong. I believe I did the right thing, because I brought Master Xi Xiangchen's disciple with me," Qian Wei continued, sounding like he was ready to give up entirely.
*Thump*
Master Xi Xiangchen's apprentice...
Ding............
The man wielding the giant blade was completely stunned. The disciple of Xi Xiangchen, the savior of the three Wolong sects, had actually come to the Qianlong Sect again.
The burly man looked incredulous and immediately said, "This matter is of utmost importance. Are you sure you're sure?"
Qianwei had no choice but to reply, "It's confirmed. I'm going to take him to see our sect's elders now."
Hearing this, the big man was even more stunned.
Are we to take them to see the sect's elders now?
"No! I cannot agree to this! As the gatekeeper of the Hidden Dragon Sect, I will not allow you to bring in people without any identification. Besides, you want to see the elder, so it's even more impossible. This is extremely dangerous," the burly man said slowly.
Every word the big man said actually had its reasons.
Due to the effects of that highly poisonous true energy, many elders of the Hidden Dragon Sect have lost even their Foundation Establishment stage strength, but they still hold high positions and are confined to the Hidden Dragon Sect and unable to leave.
Because their bodies are becoming weaker year by year.
That's why it's even more important for the Great Khan to guard the gates of the Hidden Dragon Sect now, and absolutely not to let any scheming people enter the Hidden Dragon Sect.
"Get out of the way! This matter concerns the future of our sect. You are only blocking my way, but you are affecting the entire sect!" Qianwei shouted.
Chen Zhou frowned. It seemed that the big man in front of him was a stubborn person, and he was indeed a troublesome one.
Chen Zhou suddenly felt that the Hidden Dragon Sect was somewhat untrustworthy, as the people in the sect could not trust each other.
“Qianwei, don’t let these people blind you! You know how long it’s been since the sect has had any outsiders. Those beggars were outsiders a long time ago. Now you suddenly want to bring three outsiders into the sect. I will never agree to that! So you can stay outside!”
The Khan retorted, and the two men's voices grew louder and louder, attracting the attention of many beggars. In fact, many members of the Hidden Dragon Sect who happened to be passing by gathered around to watch the spectacle.
Many people here know Qianwei.
"Qianwei! What are you doing? Who is the person next to you?"
"Yes...yes...who are these people...why did you bring them into the sect?"
"They're right. The sect is in crisis right now, how can you still pull your arm out to others? Instead of honestly seeking a way to survive within the sect, you've repeatedly run away... What are you thinking..."
"Qianwei! Take them and leave immediately! Don't let me see you do this again..."
"Otherwise, don't blame us!"
............
The argument between the group grew increasingly heated, eventually escalating into insults and profanities.
"This deadly poison can also affect mood control?" Chen Zhou asked Qian Wei with a furrowed brow.
Because at this moment, the expressions of those so-called die-hards were extremely agitated and looked very abnormal, as if they were being manipulated by someone to express their emotions. Their expressions were somewhat forced. Could it be that these people have gone mad?
"Indeed, if the poison takes effect when someone is in their forties or fifties, it will slowly induce hallucinations, and eventually we will die in our own dreams," Qian Wei said with a trembling heart. In other words, people who are poisoned by this deadly poison generally do not live past sixty.
This directly led to a decrease in the number of people in their sect.
"It seems I didn't notice before. At your age, you show very little resentment. So, this function of the poison can only be used on some elderly people. It can accelerate their emotional outbursts and trigger their breakdowns, ultimately leading to their death," Chen Zhou analyzed.
