As Sam gave orders to the team on what to do the next day, a black figure who saw everything that happened in the restaurant from far away, ran back to the church in a hurry to report the incident.

He directly went to the main building in the estate where the leader of the church, the High Priest who recently took the spot from the previous high priest after betraying and killing him.

He explained everything that happened in the restaurant and stayed silent.

The High Priest got angry and yelled.

"Those bastards, that bitch. Do they think that I am easy to mess with? They will wipe the Poison church tomorrow and rescue the baby, I would dare them to do so. What would they do if I killed them and this baby this very night? What would they do?"

He ran his mouth like a crazy man and the guy who reported the incident didn't dare to speak at all. But at this moment an old man came out of nowhere and spoke.

"You are not going to do anything to that baby."

The crazy high priest stopped talking and looked at the old man.

"Uncle, you are back."

"You are not going to do anything to that baby. Kill that woman and the people that came here, but the baby is no longer ours. I already talked to a sect in a higher realm, they would take the baby away in two days and take us under their wing as a branch."

s

"Really?" The High priest widened his eyes with surprise and excitement.

"Yes. And they are also followers of Indra, so we don't have to worry about other things like allegiance and stuff. But make sure that the baby is completely unharmed."

"I will do as you say uncle."

The old man then looked at the person who reported the incident and said.

"Call the elders immediately. We are going to make the first move." That guy left after taking the orders, then uncle turned towards the high priest and said.

"Tell me about those people, don't miss out any minor details."

The High Priest started explaining the whole incident and the old man carefully listened.

Elders came in the middle of it, but didn't dare disturb the old man and waited there. After the explanation was done, the old man looked at the Elders and picked some of them to come out of the group.

He sent the rest of them back and started explaining the plan.

One after the other the elders started going out to prepare for their tasks given by the old man and only one woman was left.

"You are the main lead of the plan. That guy named Sam who is the weakest is also the leader of the team. He might be weak and insignificant in terms of strength, but he is the key to all of this. The rest of the team will only fight the others for a while. From the data you gathered, they are some skilled people. I even heard about some of them and none of the elders will be able to do anything to them at the same level.

In fact, they might directly die if they were confronted in a direct battle.

So, you have to kill Sam no matter what.

Use your trump card."

"Trump card? Uncle, Sorry for being direct, but if I use my trump card, I would be nothing more than a normal human with no cultivation at that time, even a little kid can kill me. Do you really want me to use that to kill a person of this caliber?"

"I am telling you to use it. So, use it. Even our god Indra said that he is dangerous and we should be careful when dealing with him.

Why do you think the high priest waited all these days quietly tailing the group?"

"Even.."

She was about to say something, but the old man stopped her.

"They are attacking tomorrow. If they took us by surprise and we couldn't do anything, we would be in deep trouble. So, you have to do this even if you don't like it. I will give you the thousand-snake poison if you finish this task.

There is also another reason to do this. According to the report, that guy seemed to have some impeccable poison immunity. He managed to drink the 9 venom cocktail without blinking his eyes. So, this is going to be a bit troublesome. If he is immune to that, he would be immune to a lot of other poisons at our hand. This is the perfect time to utilize your technique."

The woman was surprised and there is a trace of determination in her eyes.

"I will do it."

With that she is also gone.

That night, a group of black figures moved discreetly towards the Inn.

Sam and his team have already retired to their rooms to rest for a while as the next day they are going to fight with the Poison church.

Everyone was meditating in their rooms, when the elders broke in. But there is not a single trace of surprise on the faces of the teammates.

Because this is something, Sam already anticipated. In fact, they let the spy go deliberately to inform the poison church.

Now that they are here, things would be a little easier the next day. The first thing the elders did after entering the rooms is to release a poison gas which would make the breathing difficult and cause irritation in lungs.

Once that happens, they would have an upperhand. But no matter how much gas they released there was no reaction from the teammates.

They could see that the gas was clearly poisoning their body, but as soon as the poison tried to react with the body, the small water snake was devouring it.

They could clearly feel the devouring from the water snake.

And the rest of the battle is easy. The HobGoblins only had that many transcendent stage cultivators because they merged five tribes together. The poison church clearly didn't have that many. They have around twelve at most in the Initial stage. And they cannot afford to send all of them and leave the church bare in case things went wrong.

For Night Ghost, they sent three Initial Stage transcendent stage cultivators and their goal is not to kill him, it is just to hinder him in helping Sam and they activated some poison formations around his room trying to stop him.

For the rest of the team, they sent four more transcendent stage cultivators and the rest are Peak stage. They didn't want to miss the chance this time, so they didn't even hold back in terms of numbers.

But even then, they are at a disadvantage.

The battle is not that intense, the elders started throwing all kinds of poisons but the teammates are immune so they are being subjected to the abuse of taking a beating.

Meanwhile, Sam who is in another room alone was greeted by the woman who just barged in while throwing the similar poison gas.

Sam sat on his bed leisurely and said.

"Sending a Transcendent to kill me, is a wise choice, but too bad, you won't be able to kill me. Your teammates will die and I will soon be joined with my teammates."

"You wouldn't be able to hold on until then."

With that, she made some hand signs and blood started seeping out of her skin as it turned to snakes and zoomed towards Sam.

Sam still didn't move, he activated a formation disc while still sitting on the bed and let the blood snakes come at him.

They clashed with the formation which is almost like a transparent barrier around him. But they couldn't penetrate it immediately.

The woman frowned deeply as she gritted her teeth and endured the pain and made the snakes attack fiercely.

Meanwhile, Sam is carefully observing the blood snakes in front of him to see what kind of attack that is, the energy inside the attack probably took all her strength and the blood is definitely her own. The attack is too dangerous not just for the victim but for the user too. After a few seconds he just smiled as the formation broke and the snakes bit on him.

The feather coat turned golden with the fire elemental energy and it reacted on itself as it started burning the snakes that bit on the coat even without Sam's guidance.

The rest of the snakes that bit on Sam's neck and other exposed areas started disappearing as they entered his skin.

But Sam didn't move, he just stayed there on the bed as if nothing was happening.

The woman's face turned from pain to disbelief as she looked at Sam. As the blood snakes completely disappeared, Sam just stood up and stretched his body and said.

"That is quite some poison. It is made of your blood and seems to have different snake venoms mixed in it, you must have gone through a lot to create it like that. Too bad, you met me. Coincidentally, my blood has some great affinity with poison too and it can digest all of it."

The woman fell to her knees and looked at Sam in horror.

The Next morning.

A woman could be seen walking through the street towards the gate of the poison church.

She is walking weakly as if her strength as sapped out.

The guards looked at her and were about to shoo her away, but when they looked closely and identified her by her face and the blood that is dripping off of it, they were shocked and one of them ran to help her out, one of them ran to open the gate and another one went to report her arrival.

s

After reporting her, there were orders to take her to the healer of the church.

The guards did as they were told.

When the healer examined her on the bed, he was stunned.

He was about to shout, but suddenly the woman exploded.
