In general, if a toxin cannot be resolved by the Alchemy Guild, then there is no other sect in the entire Jiuzhou Continent that can solve it.

Expertise has its specializations, and the Alchemy Guild gathers high-level alchemists from the entire Jiuzhou Continent.

"Unfortunately, I am not yet the leader of the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce, otherwise, I wouldn't have needed to come here to find Elixir Pills!"

If he had enough money, or enough subordinates, he could completely summon those worldly experts to solve the problem of Alien Energy for him.

However, the Young Master has spent a lot of unjust money and still returned fruitless.

A moment later, everyone noticed that a lot of demon beasts had appeared in front of them.

Previously, the martial artists present would have needed to go forward and eliminate the demon beasts that blocked their path.

But now, after those overwhelming flocks of crows stormed past, the demon beasts that impeded their path were annihilated.

Seeing flocks of crows attacking the demon beasts, everyone exclaimed in surprise and cheered for the crows.

"That's great! With this tool to clear the path, we won't have to struggle so much in the future."

Many people had smiles all over their faces.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Other people nodded in agreement.

Everyone now realized just how useful those crows were, and many thought of learning the method to control the Blood Crows from the Blood Crow Demon.

In their hearts, they understood that if they learned how to control the Blood Crows, they could use them to clear their paths in the future.

Thus, quite a few elders approached Duan Gujin to ask how to learn the Spirit-controlling Technique of the Blood Crow Demon.

Duan Gujin refused these elders' requests and said to them, "This method is extremely inhumane! I'm only using them to clear the path for now!"

Some elders thought of buying the Spirit-controlling Technique from the Blood Crow Demon at a high price, but Duan Gujin also rejected them.

The Young Master was furious and told the elders, "Anyone among you who learns this evil Spirit-controlling Technique will be expelled!"

Hearing the Young Master's words, the elders grew fearful and thus did not bother Duan Gujin anymore.

Three days later, the group arrived at a valley guided by the Young Master.

Soon, everyone discovered a very large plant in front of them in the valley, which was blood-red all over and very conspicuous in the valley.

"Everyone be careful!"

Duan Gujin let the crows scout ahead first, and soon, everyone saw more than ten black giant pythons climb down from the trees of that plant.

"Oh my God! Could it be that there's a nest of snakes ahead?"

Duan Gujin released his Divine Sense to observe the more than ten black giant pythons.

After a while, he deduced that those black giant pythons were highly poisonous.

Thus, he first instructed the crows to launch an attack on the giant pythons.

After a fierce battle, Duan Gujin saw that at least half of the crows were lost, while only one of the giant pythons was killed.

"Those poisonous snakes are too formidable!"

Duan Gujin gasped, carefully examining the poisonous snakes in front.

After a moment, he realized that these poisonous snakes were strong, and they had been stationed there early on, seemingly waiting for them, which made him suspect that these poisonous snakes were being controlled by someone.

So, he asked the Young Master, wanting to know who had told the Young Master about this valley they had arrived in.

The Young Master told him that he had purchased the information from an expert at a high cost.

The Young Master, being experienced in worldly society, was curious why Duan Gujin asked this.

After thinking for a moment, he guessed a possibility.

"Are you trying to tell me that this has been a trap set against me from the beginning?"

"Young Master, do you think it's possible?" he asked.

"I think it's possible. Look at those poisonous snakes; they don't seem like ordinary poisonous snakes at all. It's as if someone is controlling them. Tell me, who on the Jiuzhou Continent would have such terrifying control over poisonous snakes? Ask the elders around you, see if they know anything."

Duan Gujin said.

"Alright!"

So, the Young Master quickly inquired with the elders around him.

One of the elders thought for a while and then told the Young Master that there was someone who could control many poisonous snakes.

"Black-faced Snake Lord!"

The elder hurriedly provided all the information about Black-faced Snake Lord to Duan Gujin and the Young Master.

"I don't know much about the Black-faced Snake Lord. I've only heard that he has raised over ten poisonous snakes, and he is an assassin. Any prey he sets his eyes on, he will send his poisonous snakes to eliminate the enemy!"

Upon hearing the elder's words, Duan Gujin's mind spun quickly, and he thought that this could very well be an assassination plot targeting the Young Master.

"Everyone, prepare for battle immediately!"

The crowd also realized that those poisonous snakes in front were unusual, so they quickly prepared for battle to prevent those poisonous snakes from attacking them.

Meanwhile, Duan Gujin had the Blood Crow Demon send those Blood Crows to control them to fly into the sky and scout the surroundings.

After a while, the Blood Crow Demon reported to Duan Gujin everything those Blood Crows spotted.

Duan Gujin then discovered that nearby on a high mountain, there was a person hiding in a dense forest.

Although that person was very well hidden, the Blood Crows could still sense his presence.

After hearing this information, Duan Gujin thought that the person hiding nearby was very likely the so-called Black-faced Snake Lord.

So, he quickly instructed the Blood Crow Demon to have those crows attack the Black-faced Snake Lord, forcing him to reveal himself.

"What's going on? Why are so many crows attacking me?"

After being surrounded and attacked by numerous crows, the Black-faced Snake Lord was completely dumbfounded.

He initially thought he could set up a beautiful ambush here, but to his surprise, he never expected such a massive number of crows to appear.

If it wasn't for the appearance of those crows, the poisonous snakes he had placed in the valley wouldn't have come out.

And previously, it was a huge number of crows. Their extremely annoying cawing irritated the poisonous snakes below.

The poisonous snakes couldn't stand the crows' cawing and all came out from underground, and that's when Duan Gujin and the others noticed them.

Thus, the poisonous snakes started fighting with the crows.

In the end, the Black-faced Snake Lord's poisonous snakes won.

However, this meant that those poisonous snakes, which were originally meant for a stealth ambush on the Young Master's team, had been exposed prematurely.

Seeing the skies filled with crows, Black-faced Snake Lord was furious.

"I can't believe I was defeated by a bunch of crows today!"

He couldn't accept it, but, to add insult to injury, those crows quickly discovered his whereabouts and launched a fierce attack on him.

The crows were strong, and if he continued resisting, he would surely be killed by them.

So, he immediately emerged from his hiding place.

Seeing a person bursting out from the nearby dense forest, the Young Master and others guessed that this person was the one specifically targeting them.

"Is the person ahead Black-faced Snake Lord? Hello!"

The Young Master immediately shouted out loud.

Hearing the Young Master's shout, the Black-faced Snake Lord's face changed drastically; he didn't expect to be recognized by the opponents so quickly.

With a quick thought, he realized why they had recognized him.

"Those poisonous snakes appearing here meant I was here too!"
