63 Poison Cultivators (2/2)

Jiang Chen ”I know only about their techniques, I can concoct pills for protection but there is not ideal one, that covers them mostly. They are so cunning that they created techniques such a way that the antidote of one technique would intensify the effects of other. ”

Every one were sweating hearing this, how come Jiang Chen know this much information.

Jiang Chen ” I would be trying to get a universal poison resistance pill, but it is very tough and out of my capabilities. So, enmity with Sai family should be avoided at any cost.”

Jiang Chen ”There is no direct way or technique to counter them. That is reason they are able to grow steadily even with their lesser numbers. There is one effective technique but only LingRou and me can practice it. It is called Fire Throne amour technique. It is based on fire attribute.There is also a techniques called Poison body , similar to their technique but a defensive technique,it is suitable for water attribute cultivators only, but that technique has no other purpose than protect us from poison. It would waste of efforts and also very dangerous to practice, it has success rate of 3/20, only three cultivators who practice that technique in twenty survive.”

LingRou ”Then how are Xie family able to hold the Sai family off.”

Jiang Chen ”There are eight top geniuses from Xie family, if I am not wrong at least two of them are specifically trained to counter Sai family. They select their most talented disciples and forces specifically to practice techniques to counter Sai Family.”

Jiang Chen ”Among 500 disciple, over hundred would be hear to deal with Sai Family and they are their top geniuses. They will not belong to any faction they are the weapons of Xie family.”

Jiang Chen ”Real strength of Xie family is these disciples, they will not be involved in any sect matters, you will not even know about their existence. They are the true threat from Xie family.”

Now they are slowly gaining understandings on the bigger picture. They are never prepared for this situation.

Xue WuXia ”You should also know, it would be Xie family that would trouble us more. They are very dangerous. Others may or may not trouble us. Han family is already down, Xue family have issues too, Sai family are mysterious group no one knows what exactly they want. Yin family, they are also ice attributed family like Xue Family, they didn't try to come out of River Yin City. Xie family , we are near River's city and they want to hold their power here.”

Jiang Chen ” Those are threats just among us in Miracle Peak. You will never know bigger picture.”

Ha Ling ”So, we have to concentrate on Xie family first.”

Jiang Chen ”It is exactly the thing we should avoid doing. We should avoid all the attention as much possible. Also I believe it would not be just me and Miss Xue here who practiced weapon techniques, there should be few more hidden weapons of Xie family and lot more people in the inner sect and outer sect.”

LingRou ”Brother, I am not understanding what you are trying to accomplish in this meeting.”

Jiang Chen ”I just want to find out, who here still wants to stick with us. Even though we already know all about them. You should know they will not target either me and Ha Ling directly.”

Jiang Chen ”Even, Ning'er might be able to avoid the trouble to some extent.”

Jiang Chen ”Their target would be you people. It is already established that. I care more about my friends and brothers. It is true too. If you are following me I will not differentiate you with others. They can't hurt me directly , their target will be you people.”

Jiang Chen ”So, I would make it clear. Those who still want to stick to us can do so, I will not treat those who left now as enemies.But, if I found those who are with me and betrayed me, I will not let them have death at all. You will not understand what my enemy gets.”

Jiang Chen was silent and didn't speak further.

Xue WuXia ”Jiang Chen is bit exaggerating. I will explain it more clearly to you. When you are in this kind of situation, where there was a constant struggle for power. Only two type of people survive. One is the person who is involved in a bigand strong group already, others are person who is complete loner who doesn't have anything to fearthey will not have any friends at all.”

Xue WuXia ”Both of their lives will have full of challenges, their own issues and all. No one will have a peaceful time.”

Xue WuXia ”That is the reason for this meeting. For you to know that all the bullshit you think and goals you have are nothing for the people like us or them. You would just become pawns in the game played by bigger pawns.”

Xue WuXia ”So, you should know already that you are a pawn, even I am but a pawn and same goes to Jiang Chen. For us to survive , only way is to know this. Their is no individual here.”

It was too direct, she started with convincing tone and jumped to harsh threat.

Xue WuXia ”Here Jiang Chen is only attempting to make you a powerful pawn that is it. You will be able to hold off however, you soon will be forced to choose a side , because lone tree always falls first when cyclone comes.”

Jiang Chen ”What are you trying to do?” he asked WuXia either she is mad or idiot to say this way.

Xue WuXia ”They have to know it clearly, else it would be foolish on our part.”

Jiang Chen ”I never invited you.”

Xue WuXia ”Our goals are same.”

Jiang Chen ”They are not, you don't have faintest of idea about it.”

Xue WuXia ”That is why I like this challenge.”

Jiang Chen ”Ignore her. But she is right. We are just pawns. Well I am just a bigger Pawn now, there are few more bigger pawns than me and lot more bigger pawns than them. My goal is to find the biggest pawn, I will become bigger pawn only when I have my own lot of pawns.”

Ha Ling ”You both are worse at convincing people.”

Ha Ling ”For now you have to remember a simple thing, you sure need a protection from bigger pawn , you have a choice of your own on which pawn you should select. Shit it, I am also speaking the language of idiots now.”

There are few laughs here and there.

Ha Ling ” Well let me speak, you can not individually survive in the place like this. We are already outside our safety zone. For us to have better chances at future you sure need to find a better place where you feel comfortable. But there is a challenge for that comfort. You also have to protect that place.”

Ha Ling ”When you join a group, you would only be told about its gains you get. Brother Jiang being idiot, he started of with the threats first. Now you people know your leaders, enemies and friends and your challenges to some extent.”

Ha Ling ”Now you have choices to give up or be here in this place for better team.”

One of disciple ”But we are from same city and we are brothers.”

Jiang Chen ”Well it is good that you remembered that comrade ship. But, my only question and purpose is to find what are your limits of comradeship. Those words I spoke that day are still applicable.”

Jiang Chen then took out his bow and arrow.

Jiang Chen ”I would describe it simply. When you draw the bow to some extent and release it arrow flies relying on this tension of string.The longer you draw the longer it reaches and more powerful the force is. But if you draw it too much the tension will snap the string and bow is useless.”

Jiang Chen ”That tension here is your limits and commitment. I can rely on you people only to some extent else I will fail myself.”

Jiang Chen ”So, you reorganize your thoughts and think for your own future and what is good for you guys, if you decided to stick to this group you should know your limits too and your weakness. My goal is different from your goals, I will not say your goals are unimportant but for me they are. My goal is to go to Central Grand for now. Brother Ha Ling's goal is to roam around the continent freely unbounded. We have a similarity in our goal. So, we know why we are sticking together and our limits to this scenario. He believes that being with me will help him achieve his goal, I believe same way that Brother Ha Ling would be very helpful for me. So we know why we are sticking together.”

Jiang Chen ”LingRou believes what ever I do is for her good, her goal is to have a see things beyond. She has a reason to trust me.”

Jiang Chen ”What you receive , protection , resources and improvement are just part of things you need. You need a clear set goal and path. That is what I told you on the day of trial. Now I believe most of you have a target and path.”

Jiang Chen ”How many of you think that you have better chances to fulfill it with me? There would also be few who think that being with me is against their goal.”

Jiang Chen ”You choose now. You can leave only now.”
