With the White-robed Elder leading the way, Qin Yongping and the others cautiously advanced deeper into the Southwest Poison Sect Branch. Along the way, the stench of decay grew increasingly pungent, and the surrounding gloom became heavier, as if countless pairs of eyes were peering at them from the darkness.
After walking for a while, the group arrived before a massive grotto. The entrance was covered in strange runes that emitted a dim green glow, exuding a chilling aura. Frowning, the White-robed Elder said, "The runes here are restrictions used by the Poison Sect to seal and guard their inner secrets. They contain deadly poisons and formidable restrictive power, so we must not be careless."
Qin Yongping stepped forward to examine the runes closely, trying to find a way to break them. Channeling his spiritual power, he slowly brought a wisp of it near the runes. As if provoked, the runes suddenly shot out a ray of green light. Qin Yongping quickly withdrew his spiritual power, but he was still grazed by the beam, leaving his arm feeling numb.
