Chapter 367: Intimidating the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect!
Chapter 367: Intimidating the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect!
On the night of establishing the Poison Sect, Xiao Yi Xian summoned Hua An alone in the courtyard that belonged exclusively to the sect master.
"Hua An, do you know where the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect's mountain gate is located?" Xiao Yi Xian asked softly.
"Reporting to the sect master, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect is established within the Tianxie Mountain Range, where poisonous miasma fills the air and venomous insects are everywhere..." Hearing Xiao Yi Xian's inquiry, Hua An respectfully relayed the information he knew.
"Sect Master, several decades ago, Xie Biyan was already a Dou Emperor. Back then, I was only at the Dou Spirit level, but I heard about some of his achievements. Firstly, he had fought multiple times with Jia Ma Empire's royal expert, Jia Xingtian, resulting in a stalemate. Secondly, he defeated the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong of the Jia Ma Empire... He even battled against the Medusa Queen of the Snake-People Tribe. Now, there are rumors of him breaking through to the Dou Ancestor, though I can't confirm if it's true."
After describing the location of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, Hua An continued to talk about Xie Biyan's deeds.
After listening to Hua An's detailed explanation, Xiao Yi Xian nodded. "Since Xie Shan is so confident, it's likely true that Xie Biyan has broken through to Dou Ancestor!"
"Sect Master, even if that old man has truly broken through to Dou Ancestor, he won't be a match for Lord Xiao Yin!" Hua An glanced at the Void Beast and spoke with certainty.
Previously, in the ruins, he had witnessed the abilities of the Void Beast. The power to traverse through space was something ordinary Dou Ancestors couldn't grasp.
"Mm, you don't need to worry about this matter."
Xiao Yi Xian nodded slightly, then waved her hand to signal Hua An to leave.
"Sect Master, your subordinate takes his leave!"
Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's gesture, Hua An respectfully said, then promptly left the courtyard.
After Hua An departed, Xiao Yi Xian immediately turned around with a cunning smile on her face and spoke to Xiao Yin, "Xiao Yin, if I have you make a move to intimidate others, it wouldn't count as violating Master's rules, would it?"
Hearing Xiao Yi Xian's words, Xiao Yin hesitated before replying, "This... It shouldn't be considered a violation of the master's rules..."
"Good, it's decided then! Let's set off now!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yin's response, Xiao Yi Xian spoke excitedly.
The next moment, Xiao Yin opened a spatial rift in the courtyard. After the rift appeared, Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Yin stepped inside together.
When they reappeared from the void, they were greeted by a dense forest that stretched as far as the eye could see, with a thick layer of miasma hovering above.
In the distance, an extremely majestic mountain peak stood towering before them.
"That was fast! Xiao Yin, you're amazing! When will I be able to traverse space like you?" Staring at the scene in front of her, Xiao Yi Xian gave a thumbs-up and looked at Xiao Yin with envy.
"It's not that great..." Hearing Xiao Yi Xian's praise, Xiao Yin blushed and replied.
"Oh, feeling shy from being praised?" Xiao Yi Xian teased Xiao Yin and then walked straight toward the peak of the towering mountain in their view.
Before long, the two had reached the upper part of the mountain. From their elevated vantage point, they gazed down to see the towering peak that seemed to have been sliced in half by an axe. On the flattened top of the peak stood an enormous sect, shrouded in thick, green poisonous mist that obscured everything within.
Recently, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect had sent out nearly sixty percent of its disciples for battle. As a result, there were very few guards around the sect’s mountain gate, and no one noticed Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Yin hovering above the massive square in front of the gate.
Suspended in midair, Xiao Yi Xian glanced indifferently at the green poisonous mist below. Clearing her throat, she called out in a loud voice, "Xie Shan, are you still alive? If you’re not dead, bring out your old ancestor!"
"Who dares to trespass on our Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect?"
As soon as Xiao Yi Xian's voice fell, an old man shot out from the thick fog below. Judging from his aura, he was also a Dou Emperor.
The Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect was indeed a renowned old sect in the Cloud Empire. Sect Master Xie Shan was a peak Dou Emperor. Including the two Dou Emperor experts who were lost in the battle at the Ten Thousand Poison Sect's mountain gate, they had a total of four Dou Emperor experts.
"I didn't expect you to really come!"
After the Dou Emperor-level old man emerged, an angry voice suddenly came from below.
Shortly afterward, Xie Shan appeared on the sect's square, surrounded by millions of disciples from the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect.
Beside him stood an old man with white hair, hunched slightly, and leaning on a cane.
The old man wore simple clothes. His wrinkled face was expressionless, yet in his seemingly cloudy eyes gleamed a chilling sharpness. He held a pitch-black cane, which had a hideous scorpion head at the top, faintly emitting a barely perceptible purple glow on its forehead.
The old man stood there with his aura completely restrained, not leaking the slightest trace of his power. At first glance, he seemed like any ordinary elder. However, at that moment, all the elders and disciples of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, including Xie Shan, looked at him with utmost respect.
Upon seeing this old man, Xiao Yi Xian directly ignored the Dou Emperor elder hovering in the air and descended to a spot about ten meters in front of him. Around her, the disciples of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect quickly surrounded her.
Noticing the disciples’ movements, the hunchbacked old man tapped his cane lightly on the ground and reprimanded, "All of you, stand back!"
After saying that, his cloudy yet sharp eyes fixed on Xiao Yin standing beside Xiao Yi Xian, seemingly trying to discern something. After a moment, he seemed to give up on his probing and slowly shifted his gaze to Xiao Yi Xian.
"You are Xie Biyan, aren’t you?" Xiao Yi Xian suddenly asked.
"Young one, I am indeed Xie Biyan!" Xie Biyan nodded in response.
Confirming the old man’s identity, Xiao Yi Xian turned her head and asked Xiao Yin without hesitation, "Xiao Yin, what level is his cultivation?"
"He has just broken through to a four-star Dou Ancestor," Xiao Yin replied without a second thought.
"This young girl is truly mysterious; she saw through my cultivation level at a glance!"
Hearing the conversation between Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Yin, Xie Biyan felt a sense of realization. However, his gaze toward Xiao Yin grew even more cautious.
"Four-star Dou Ancestor!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yin's answer, Xiao Yi Xian was a bit surprised. Based on Hua An’s description of Xie Biyan's achievements, she had assumed he had only just broken through to the Dou Ancestor level. She hadn’t expected him to have surpassed his former opponents by such a margin.
