Chapter 91: Poison Clan
"The Autumn Wind sect elder asked me to meet a person named Porus in the Eternal Sun sect. Do you know anything about him?" Kent asked casually, keeping aside the thoughts of those two mysterious items.
Mia fell in a daze after hearing his reply. But suddenly she remembered the face of a middle-aged drunkard. "Kent, are you sure his name is Porus?" Lucy asked again in confirmation.
"Yeah… The autumn wind sect elder mentioned that, Porus is a grand elder in the Eternal Sun sect. Do you know anything about him?" Kent asked with a curious look.
"Kent, I think it's better if you seek another elder." Lucy's eyes twitch in nervousness. "The Eternal Sun sect had five peaks, and the grand elder named Porus is the master of Raising Sun Peak. But there are no disciples on Raising Sun Peak since last decade." Lucy said in a serious tone while staring at Kent.
"What do you mean? Isn't he a grand elder? Then why didn't he recruit any disciples?" Kent asked with a doubtful gaze.
"You are not getting the point, Kent. No disciple will dare to join the rising sun peak. The grand elder Porus has an enmity with the Poison sect. Whoever joins the rising sun peak will be targeted by the poison sect and will be killed in few days." Lucy said it in a worried tone.
"Poison sect…?! Why would they target one peak of the Eternal Sun sect? What are the sect masters doing when an outsider is targeting them?" Kent questioned her as he turned towards Lucy.
"It's a long story. A decade ago, the Poison sect princess proposed to elder Porus for hand in marriage. But Porus rejected her offer, as the poison sect is full of dark witches and they follow demonic curse rituals.
Angered by rejection, the poison sect princess began targeting the people around Porus. Just as Porus became master of the rising sun peak, the poison sect princess killed all 1200 disciples under Porus. For the next two years, she continued this massacre, making the rising sun peak a barren land without any disciple." Lucy explained, remembering the desolate peak of the Eternal Sun sect.
"Wait?! Did you say 1200?" Kent uttered in shock.
"The total is a lot greater than that." Lucy replied with a deep sigh.
"Then what about sect masters? Didn't the Eternal Sun sect try to annihilate the poison clan princess? or is she powerful enough to go against the entire sect?" Kent asked.
"The poison sect princess does not match if she fights head-on against Porus. But the thing is, the poison sect stronghold is Luna Forest, which stretches thousands of miles behind Eternal Sun sect.
No one knows their original secret locations. The princess comes with the night and disappears silently into the forest. The Eternal Sect spent a lot of resources to annihilate the poison clan, but to no avail.
Also, the grand elder Porus became a drunkard and separated himself from the sect. Most of the disciples didn't even know about the existence of Porus. But I saw him once when he came to heal his pet in the beast abode peak. So, you better consider joining another peak.
With your talent, it won't be a big problem to join the burning sun peak, which has the top disciples." Lucy suggested while adding more food to the bowls of Fire Kirin.
Kent fell into a thought after hearing her reply. "Lucy, first let me meet Elder Porus. If he is really unable to train me, I will definitely choose the burning sun peak, as you said." Kent replied while getting down from the wooden table.
"Do as you like." Lucy replied sharply with an angry pout.
Kent smiled and walked closer to her. "Don't be a sulky girl. Tell me, has your father agreed to sell the family business?" Kent asked while holding her hand.
"I'm not a sulky girl. And everything is set for transferring my family business under your name. You better be ready with 10,313 Aura spirit stones." Lucy replied while turning away from him with an angry face.
"Haha, don't worry. It will be arranged by tomorrow." Kent replied in a pampering tone.
"You should hurry. We must leave for Golden Bamboo City in three days." Lucy said after turning towards him.
"What's the hurry?" Kent asked with a questioning look while grabbing her hand.
"Do you forget the Heavenly Beast gathering of the Chen family? Look at your pet... It still doesn't have any decorations or ornaments. It is carrying you on bare body. If we don't start our journey within three days, we will miss the gathering." Lucy said in a strong tone while pinching his shoulder.
"Yes, yes… I remember it now. Don't worry, we will leave tomorrow night. I will make sure to transfer the aura stones as soon as possible." Kent replied in a hurried tone while rubbing his shoulder with a painful look.
"Then what about your golden root? That Fatty Ben really sticks to you like gum." Lucy commented while taking out the empty food bowls from pets.
"I will inquire with him. In whichever case, we were leaving tomorrow night. So, you better pack your things and some delicious food, both for us and our pets." Kent declared, helping Lucy with cleaning.
Lucy gave a sulky smirk and walked towards her white swan. Just then, the Kent sky orb vibrated, displaying the image of Fatty.
[Fatty exchanged contacts with Kent, when Kent visited Idol Plaza for clothes and a haircut.]
Without giving Kent any chance, Fatty began explaining what happened in his family. With an excited smile, he said how his father, Liam, reacted to his request.
"So, you are not coming to us?" Lucy, who is observing from the side, asked with a questioning look.
"No, sister, Father asked me to wait for few days, and he promised to accompany me on the capital journey. It looks like I'm not going to disturb you guys." Fatty replied with a shy smile.
"Hey, stop speaking nonsense." Lucy cried out as she showed a threatening finger with an angry glare.
