Chapters 976-977: Pestilence Venerable, Mo Family Four Brothers, Combined
If it were someone else, Elder Grown and Withered might not have recognized them, but as coincidence would have it, the Wither-Bloom Venerable and the Pestilence Venerable are sworn enemies, particularly since Wither-Grow Divine is actually very restraining against the Pestilence Venerable. The two have often clashed but neither has been able to overcome the other, fostering resentment to this day.
Pestilence Venerable!
Hiss!
Upon hearing the Reincarnation Taoist reveal Pestilence Venerable's identity, all the cultivators around instinctively stepped back, even some powerhouses of the same realm frowned slightly and retreated discreetly.
There's a reason: a person's name casts a long shadow, and the reputation of Pestilence Venerable is widespread throughout Heaven and Earth.
If we talk just about his divine powers, he has countless peers capable of contending with him, but his eerie plague spells are something many powerhouses would rather avoid at all costs.
