Chapter 365: The Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect – Xie Biyan!
“We’re retreating!”
Realizing he was no match for Xiao Yi Xian, Xie Shan had lost the will to continue fighting.
At Xie Shan's command, the two elders at the Dou Emperor level, who had been confronting Hua An and the elders of the Poison Demon Sect, quickly fled down the mountain.
After issuing the order to retreat, Xie Shan swiftly blew on the whistle in his hand. Upon hearing the sound, the Four-Winged Heavenly Venom Scorpion, which had been writhing in pain on the ground, suddenly forced itself to suppress the spreading poison within its body. Its massive frame began to sprint wildly across the ground.
“I warned you to leave earlier, but you didn’t listen. Now that you want to run, it's not going to be that easy!”
Seeing Xie Shan and his men retreating, Xiao Yi Xian swiftly chased after them, blocking Xie Shan’s path. Hua An and the elders of the Poison Demon Sect followed closely behind her.
“Little girl, I admit you are very strong, but have you ever heard the saying ‘There’s always someone stronger than you’?” Xie Shan spoke coldly as he found himself trapped by Xiao Yi Xian. “The ancestor of my Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect has already broken through to the Dou Ancestor level. If not for his seclusion, our Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect would have swallowed up all the powers in the Chu Yun Empire! If anything happens to us today, it will surely alarm the ancestor. At that time…”
“The ancestor of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect... Could it be Xie Biyan, who was rumored to have perished decades ago?” Hua An asked in surprise upon hearing Xie Shan's threat.
“I don't care who this ‘Xie whatever Biyan’ is! Even if he's a Dou Ancestor expert, he's not here right now, is he? We'll deal with him when he shows up!” Xiao Yi Xian replied indifferently.
Without waiting for Xie Shan to respond, Xiao Yi Xian swiftly took action, controlling the Netherworld Poison Flame to attack the Four-Winged Heavenly Venom Scorpion, which was running away frantically.
“Damn it!”
“You’ll regret the decision you made today!”
Seeing Xiao Yi Xian’s movements, Xie Shan’s gaze hardened. In the next moment, he ignored the other two elders at the Dou Emperor level and tried to break through the encirclement alone. With those two elders in place, Hua An didn’t dare to leave, so Xiao Yi Xian was the only one pursuing Xie Shan.
At the base of the Ten Thousand Venom Sect's mountain, most of the Poison Demon Sect disciples, exhausted from days of battle with the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect’s members, were being pushed back. They were suffering continuous casualties.
Just then, a violent tremor emanated from the mountain as if an earthquake was about to strike.
Moments later, in the sight of both sides of the battlefield, a giant beast, dozens of meters tall, charged down the mountain like a mad creature. Its body was engulfed in raging purple flames.
“What kind of gigantic beast is this?”
The hundreds of Poison Demon Sect disciples guarding the area turned pale with fear at the sight of the Four-Winged Heavenly Venom Scorpion.
“Haha, this is our Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect's guardian beast! Your Poison Demon Sect is doomed!”
In contrast to the fear of the Poison Demon Sect disciples, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect members were brimming with excitement. However, some of them looked suspiciously at the purple flames burning on the giant beast's body.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the beast's speed increased as it charged forward.
“Disperse, everyone scatter!”
Sensing the beast's immense aura and the heat wave it brought, an elder of the Poison Demon Sect with a one-star Dou King strength quickly ordered the others to spread out.
In the face of this colossal creature, none of them felt the slightest will to resist.
“Haha, the guardian beast has come down to help! This means the battle on the mountain is over. You might as well surrender.”
“Your sect master Hua An has probably already been turned into food by our guardian beast!”
As the beast charged recklessly downward, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect disciples grew even more excited, standing still, eager to see the Poison Demon Sect members being devoured one by one by the Four-Winged Heavenly Venom Scorpion.
However, when the giant beast was less than five hundred meters away from the Poison Demon Sect disciples, its body suddenly came to a violent halt, its massive frame losing balance and rolling uncontrollably.
In this process, a massive purple butterfly, several meters in size, slowly flew out from the scorpion's body.
“What’s happening? What’s wrong with the guardian beast? Where did that purple butterfly come from?”
Even a fool could tell that there was something seriously wrong with the Four-Winged Heavenly Venom Scorpion as it rolled downward.
Fortunately, the Poison Demon Sect disciples had already followed instructions to clear an open space in the direction of the beast's charge. As the giant creature rolled close to the Poison Demon Sect disciples, it did not stop. Almost purely by inertia, it continued rolling downward toward the densely packed disciples of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect.
“Ah!”
A large number of Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect disciples, who hadn't had time to react, were directly crushed into pulp under the rolling beast. Soon after, they were engulfed in the purple flames still lingering on the beast's body, burning them to a crisp within moments.
In an instant, the battlefield, previously filled with the stench of blood, was now permeated with the foul odor of burnt flesh. The rolling beast finally came to a halt after crashing into a massive rock.
“The guardian beast was burned to death by that purple butterfly!”
Seeing the Four-Winged Heavenly Venom Scorpion lying motionless and hearing the occasional crackling explosions coming from its body, all the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect disciples realized what had happened. One by one, they looked in horror at the enormous purple butterfly hovering not far above in the sky, beads of sweat the size of beans dripping from their foreheads.
This level of power had already surpassed anything they could imagine.
Though the Poison Demon Sect disciples were also unaware of the purple butterfly’s origin, they felt a sense of relief when they understood that this terrifyingly hot butterfly had killed the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect's guardian beast.
Just then, a roar echoed from the mountain’s base.
“You killed our guardian beast! The ancestor will not spare you!”
Following the voice, a middle-aged man in tattered clothes with disheveled hair and blackened skin appeared in the sky. Behind him, a young girl dressed in pure white floated towards them, as if taking a leisurely stroll.
“Sect Master!”
The remaining Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect disciples at the mountain's base immediately recognized the middle-aged man. They had never imagined that their once aloof, powerful, and mysterious sect master would now appear in such a pitiful state.
Given the calamity poison accumulated in Xie Shan’s body, he probably wouldn’t live for much longer.
Hearing Xie Shan's roar, Xiao Yi Xian suddenly stopped her pursuit. She remained where she was and shouted loudly, "Since you have so much faith in your ancestor, I’ll let you go back and deliver the message. Three days from now, I will visit the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect!"
Xie Shan, feeling as if he had been granted a reprieve, quickly threw out one more threat.
“Fine! Just you wait! If you don’t come to our Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect in three days, our ancestor will come to the Poison Demon Sect personally!”
