Xiao Yan looked at Yao Chen with some surprise; he felt this was a bit unlike his teacher's style.
If he truly went out because the other party had a good relationship with him, he would probably choose to give me the item to hand over... At other times, he would more often choose to do it through trade...
A look of suspicion appeared on his face.
Little Fairy Doctor took the scroll, thanked him, and then excitedly opened it.
When she saw the contents, her excited expression turned bitter, because the conditions recorded within were almost impossible to meet.
The control method was called the Poison Pill Method, and it required three rare items: three types of Heavenly Flames, bodhi transformation saliva, and the demon core of a Tier 7 Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast.
She sighed softly: "Alas, perhaps this is my fate…"
Xiao Yan leaned over and took a look… three types of Heavenly Flames… Good heavens, so his teacher was waiting here!
"Qing Meng!" Qing Meng jumped out at the opportune moment, a Azure Lotus Core Flame in its left hand, a Bone Spirit Cold Flame in its right, and a Fallen Heart Flame and Sea Heart Flame floating above its head.
Little Fairy Doctor looked at it in astonishment, then her eyes widened: "You actually have four types of Heavenly Flames? How is that possible?"
Xiao Yan said with a smile: "It was by chance… You don't need to worry about the Heavenly Flames, I can help. For the remaining bodhi transformation saliva and the demon core of a Tier 7 Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast, I will also do my best to help."
Little Fairy Doctor looked at Yao Chen, then at Xiao Yan, and slowly nodded: "Then please take care of me from now on… I don't want the Poison Sect anymore, I'll go with you."
Xiao Yan glanced at the smiling Yao Chen, guessing that he had this intention from the very beginning, and did not refuse, responding: "Alright."
Having a beauty accompany him always brought joy, and Little Fairy Doctor's strength was not weak, making her a good helper… Furthermore, the most crucial point was that Xiao Yan worried if they parted ways, he wouldn't know when they would meet again. By then, even if he found all the items, he wouldn't be able to help Little Fairy Doctor.
After they made their decision, they returned to inform the people of the Poison Sect, then left without any reluctance, leaving a group of Poison Sect Elders in disarray in the wind… They had clearly won the war, but their Sect Master was gone.
…
When Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor arrived at the Black-Corner Region, Xiao Yan had already advanced another star, reaching a Three-Star Dou Emperor. Even Little Fairy Doctor was astounded by this speed.
"The time it took me to advance one star during my Dou Emperor stage wasn't as short as yours," she sighed.
Xiao Yan responded with a smile: "Thanks to Xie Bi Yan's Demon Poison Spot, Qing Meng refined it and fed back a large amount of energy. I feel that the energy inside is probably enough for me to break through to the peak of Dou Emperor, or even to Dou Ancestor."
The Black-Corner Region was vast. When they flew over from the Chu Yun Empire, they only determined the approximate direction, so Xiao Yan did not arrive near Jia Nan Academy immediately, but instead came to Black Emperor City.
Black Emperor City was a city ruled by the Black Emperor Sect, and its ruler was Mo Tianxing, who possessed Dou Ancestor strength.
Upon arriving in this city, they heard news that a large auction was about to be held, so they were not in a hurry to travel, deciding to try their luck at the auction to see if they could obtain items needed by Yao Chen or Little Fairy Doctor.
They came to the Black Emperor Pavilion, which the Black Emperor Sect used to host powerful individuals. After Xiao Yan revealed a trace of his Dou Emperor aura, someone immediately welcomed them in and arranged a "Earth" character room for them to rest.
The Black Emperor Pavilion was extremely large. Since people participating in the auction came from all over the Black-Corner Region, representatives of many forces often arrived a few days in advance, so the Black Emperor Sect arranged accommodation for those with a certain level of strength.
The rooms were divided into three grades: "Heaven", "Earth", and "Human". The "Heaven" character rooms were used to receive Dou Ancestor experts or leaders of certain major forces, while the "Earth" character rooms were used to receive Dou Emperor experts or representatives of slightly lesser forces.
Xiao Yan did not care about the room's specifications; in any case, they all had dedicated cultivation chambers, allowing him to refine pills in peace. He planned to refine some high-grade pills as bidding chips in the few days before the auction began.
The maid guided them to confirm the location of their room, and then led them to the main hall where guests gathered.
Before the auction began, these powerful individuals from various parts of the Black-Corner Region would also engage in simple exchanges with each other.
A quarrel caught Xiao Yan's attention. Led by a grim-faced middle-aged man, a group of burly men surrounded two people shrouded in black robes.
"Are you two the ones who killed my Kui Lang Gang's men?" The grim-faced middle-aged man, Kui Sha, the leader of the Kui Lang Gang, said ferociously.
"Kui Lang Gang? Never heard of them," one of the black-robed figures shook his head and replied indifferently.
The other person chuckled lightly: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be that group of scums we encountered when we entered the city."
"Oh, them? Yes, we did it."
Kui Sha's expression grew even more somber, his gaze revealing killing intent: "Who are you two? If you don't give an explanation, I won't let this go."
The surrounding people watched the conflict with interest, pointing and discussing.
"That's Kui Sha of the Kui Lang Gang, isn't he? I remember he recently broke through another star, becoming a Two-Star Dou Emperor, didn't he?" someone said.
"He walks with a few more arrogant steps now, who's so blind? To provoke him at a time like this?"
The two black-robed figures remained composed. One of them said in a gentle voice:
Error-free version being read! 6=9+Book_Bar first published this novel.
"Second brother, I suddenly remembered, we seem to have some grievances with the Kui Lang Gang as well… Their affiliated force, the Black Wolf Gang, killed quite a few of our subordinates when they fought against the Lion Fang Gate in Maple City, didn't they?"
"So it was them?" The black-robed figure who had initially responded to Kui Sha with an indifferent tone suddenly moved. He stretched out his hand and grabbed towards the other party: "Since that's the case, then come and die."
Kui Sha's pupils contracted. The other party's grab seemed slow, yet it made him unavoidable… When he tried to retreat, he found that the surrounding space had become viscous, pushing him towards that palm.
A Dou Ancestor expert!
In the critical moment, he instantly thought of a way to deal with it…
Since the space behind him prevented him from escaping and pushed him forward, he would go with the flow… He slid into a kneel, heavily kneeling on the ground, his head hitting the floor with a "bang" and cracking it.
"Two sirs, I was blind. Please let me go, just treat me as a fart," Kui Sha shouted loudly and sincerely.
The black-robed figure who had made the move seemed not to have expected the other party's sudden action. His palm stopped in mid-air, and he was stunned for a moment.
Just then, a yellow-robed Elder suddenly appeared in the hall. He cupped his hands towards the two black-robed figures and said:
"Two friends, this old man is Mo Tianxing. This is the Black Emperor Pavilion. Can you give me some face? If there are any grievances, please resolve them outside?"
The black-robed figure with the gentle voice spoke: "Second brother, stop. We are on someone else's territory, so it's better to be rule. We can't make Sect Master Mo look bad."
Mo Tianxing subtly breathed a sigh of relief, his expression much better. He could feel that both of the black-robed figures in front of him were Dou Ancestor experts. If it weren't for allowing Kui Sha to be killed here having a considerable impact on the Black Emperor Sect's reputation, he would absolutely not do anything that might displease the other party.
Xiao Yan looked at the two black-robed figures, his eyes flickering. These two gave him a strange sense of familiarity, but their Dou Ancestor strength made him rule out a certain conjecture in his heart.
At this moment, Little Fairy Doctor suddenly stood up with a somewhat displeased expression and said to Xiao Yan: "I have something to attend to, I'll be leaving for a bit."
Xiao Yan did not notice her unusual behavior and nodded.
