Chapter 716 The Empyrean Sect

“Let Mr. Xuereb enter. Remember to show him great hospitality,” Poison King instructed the member of

Mapleton who had come to update him on Carlos’ arrival.

The latter nodded respectfully and left. Meanwhile, Poison King huddled over with Weston and the others

as though they were discussing something.

Jared grabbed the opportunity to sound Lyanna out by putting on a quizzical look. “What is so special

about the Empyrean Sect? All of you from Mapleton seem to be terrified of them!”

Lyanna stole a look at Poison King and the others before explaining to him, “The Empyrean Sect’s base

is located around 5 kilometers from us, on the mountain in the south of Mapleton. Mapleton and the

Empyrean Sect are mortal enemies, and I’ve heard both parties started to battle against each other as

early as a century ago, resulting in great losses of lives. For some reason, there was suddenly a drastic

increase in the number of strong disciples they had. All of a sudden, they have almost twenty new Senior

Grandmasters. Even their sect leader has reached the level of Martial Arts Grandmaster. As a result,

Mapleton has been oppressed by them these years.”

She paused, stealing another glance at Poison King and the others before adding, “That’s why Poison

King intends to cultivate a cadaver king, so we won’t need to bow to the Empyrean Sect again. Earlier

on, hundreds of martial trainees from the Empyrean Sect were killed after being bitten by our venomous

creatures when they trespassed on our turf. Thus, we’re overwrought that they will settle the score with

us!”

“Isn’t Mapleton famous for their expert use of poison? Regardless of how formidable the Empyrean Sect

disciples are, you can easily wipe them out by poisoning them, can’t you?” Jared refuted in bafflement.

Lyanna could not resist laughing in exasperation. “You’ve overestimated Mapleton. After battling against

us for more than a century, how could the Empyrean Sect be oblivious to Mapleton’s expertise at

poisoning? They’ve long developed a way to deal with our poisons and venoms. Even the venomous

wasp, deemed the deadliest creature in Mapleton, is nothing to them.”

“If they can cure your poisons and venoms, how’s it possible for hundreds of their members to be killed

by you previously?” Jared questioned doubtfully. He could not fathom why those members from the

Empyrean Sect still ended up losing their precious lives even though the sect had already found a way to

deal with venoms.

“Those attacked were only the Empyrean Sect’s martial trainees, not their disciples. Thus, the Empyrean

Sect didn’t try to cure them with their precious antidotes. Apart from that, they decided to go with the flow

and make use of that incident as an excuse to strike against Mapleton,” Lyanna explained further.

Hearing that, Jared’s heart skipped a beat. My goodness! How could the Empyrean Sect be so

inhumane and treat the martial trainees as though they were worthless and didn’t deserve to live? Those

martial trainees held the Empyrean Sect in high regard, yet the sect had the heart to let the former meet

their end without curing their poison. If the Empyrean Sect can treat their own people like that, I can’t

even imagine how they would treat outsiders!

In the meantime, a long-haired young man in his early twenties dressed in a long-sleeved shirt showed

up. He was none other than Carlos.

When he came into view, Jared could not help but let out a sigh of admiration. Undeniably, Carlos had

stunning good looks, as if he was the male lead in a romance movie.

There were two subordinates following behind him, and both were Senior Grandmasters. Surprisingly,

Carlos was already a Senior Grandmaster at such a young age as well. It implied that his potential was

impressive beyond imagination.

The moment Poison King noticed Carlos, he hurried toward the latter. “Mr. Xuereb, welcome to

Mapleton!”

Carlos flashed him a smile and greeted him courteously, “Poison King, sorry for disturbing you! I hope

you don’t mind that I’m here without notifying you in advance.”

“Of course not. Mr. Xuereb, it’s a great honor to have you here. Please take a seat!” Poison King

welcomed Carlos cordially and instructed his subordinate to pour him tea.

After being seated, Carlos instinctively glanced at Lyanna, who was sitting beside him. His eyes lingered

on her for more than a moment.

Seeing that Carlos’ eyes seemed to be glued to Lyanna, Poison King’s expression darkened as he asked

grimly, “Mr. Xuereb, may I know why you suddenly paid us a visit?”

Needless to say, he was hinting to Carlos to take his eyes off Lyanna. Deep down, he claimed Lyanna as

his woman and would never let any man lay a finger on her.

Carlos finally retracted his gaze and smiled at Poison King. “Poison King, both the Empyrean Sect and

Mapleton have sustained great losses battling against each other these years. Are you willing to let both

parties reconcile and form an alliance?”
