After several days of travel, Xiao Yan and Mu Azure Kira finally arrived in the territory of Yu Xian Sect.
This was a small mountain, with buildings scattered in an orderly fashion on it. In front of the mountain was a wide river, its waters calm and shimmering under the sunlight.
Xiao Yan and Mu Azure Kira did not rush in. In the mountain forest, they met up with a young man dressed in white clothes with a star and moon pattern. This was a disciple of Starcloud Pavilion, with the strength of a Dou King.
The white-clothed youth said, "The recent situation at Yu Xian Sect is a bit strange. After they changed their Sect Master, the entire Sect gives off a very peculiar feeling… Hmm, I can't quite put my finger on it. In short, it seems quite different from what was rumored in the past."
Xiao Yan was not concerned about these things and directly asked the most crucial question: "Is their Sect Master still in the Sect?"
The white-clothed youth nodded: "He is. He hasn't left since he returned a few months ago."
Xiao Yan's expression was not good.
He thought for a moment and said to Mu Azure Kira, "You two should act according to the situation here. I'll go inside to investigate and first determine the location where Little Fairy Doctor is imprisoned."
"Wait, change into this." The white-clothed youth from Starcloud Pavilion handed over a Yu Xian Sect disciple's uniform.
After Xiao Yan changed, he enveloped himself with spirit power and stealthily infiltrated the mountain gate. He did not act brazenly just because he wore the same clothes; he remained very cautious and tried his best not to come into contact with anyone.
The disciples of Yu Xian Sect were generally not strong, so his infiltration went smoothly. He quickly arrived near the central main hall.
Xiao Yan stopped beside a rockery, where two male disciples were conversing.
"Senior Brother Chen, I heard you caught two yesterday?"
"Hehe, they were big and white, with such figures and touch. After preparing them, the taste is endlessly memorable." The Yu Xian Sect disciple, called Senior Brother Chen, showed an expression of enjoyment.
"Did you really catch them with your own ability, without using force?"
"Of course not. I haven't been that rough in a long time. It's those who hook themselves that give a greater sense of accomplishment… Junior Brother Fang, the psychological enjoyment these two provide is different."
"Have you seen that top-grade one the Sect Master acquired?" Junior Brother Fang asked.
"I've seen it. It's indeed top-grade, but it has injuries on its body, probably forcibly captured."
Xiao Yan's ears immediately perked up… Top-grade, injured, could it be Little Fairy Doctor? He could barely suppress the anger in his heart.
However, reason told him not to act rashly. He took a deep breath and adjusted his mood. He slowly retreated, preparing to go around from another direction.
The aura of these two Yu Xian Sect disciples was somewhat strong, especially that Senior Brother Chen, who had already crossed the threshold of a Dou Emperor.
However, just as he was about to leave, they started discussing a topic that concerned Xiao Yan, and he couldn't help but stop.
"It is said that the Young Sect Master will be back in these two days."
"Is the news reliable?"
"Who knows? Wasn't it rumored before too? But we haven't seen the Young Sect Master's shadow."
"But one thing is for sure, the Young Sect Master's technique must be very good, otherwise the Sect Master wouldn't have taken him as a disciple."
"Oh, and the Sect Master even specifically left the top-grade one he caught for the Young Sect Master to handle… It's still being kept in the Fish Fresh Pavilion."
Xiao Yan felt a sense of urgency. The Young Sect Master of Yu Xian Sect could return at any time, and Little Fairy Doctor's situation was very dangerous, but that Sect Master showed no intention of leaving.
He considered it for a moment and decided to launch a rescue immediately.
Xiao Yan returned to the jungle outside the mountain gate along the original path and told Mu Azure Kira the information he had gathered.
He analyzed: "There's no time. Their Young Sect Master is coming back soon, we can't wait any longer. I will create destruction within Yu Xian Sect to attract the attention of their Sect Master. When that Dou Ancestor comes to chase me, please go rescue Little Fairy Doctor; she is in the main hall."
Mu Azure Kira nodded: "You cannot let that Sect Master out of your sight. I don't want to face a Dou Ancestor… and even less do I want to be captured alive by him."
"I absolutely won't let him get away!" Xiao Yan solemnly promised.
Having made his decision, Xiao Yan impatiently flew above Yu Xian Sect and shouted loudly, "Old dog, get out here."
The aura of a Dou Ancestor pressed down without reservation. He directly created a two-colored Buddha Fury Fire Lotus and threw it towards the cluster of buildings.
The Fire Lotus exploded, transforming into endless light and heat. The massive impact caused a large number of buildings to collapse, and the entire small mountain trembled.
When Little Fairy Doctor heard Xiao Yan's voice, a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes.
A terrifying aura rose, as if a sleeping giant dragon had awakened.
Although he had felt the aura of a nine-star Dou Ancestor before, it was never directed at him. Protector Xiao, Guardian Cheng, Guardian Feng, and the two elders Qian and Bai had never targeted him.
Only after being locked onto by the opponent's aura did Xiao Yan realize that a nine-star Dou Ancestor was much stronger than the West Pavilion Lord, who had just entered the eighth star!
Cold sweat ran down his face, but he had no regrets and no retreat. Instead, he provocatively declared, "Die for this young master!"
"Qing Meng!" Qing Meng leaped from his shoulder, conjured a three-colored Buddha Fury Fire Lotus, and hurled it at the short old man slowly rising into the sky.
The slender old man slowly extended his right hand, drawing a line in the void to open a spatial rift.
The Fire Lotus was swallowed by the spatial rift, disappearing without a trace.
The rift closed as if nothing had happened. The white-haired old man looked at Xiao Yan, his gaze deep, and a smile played on his lips.
Such a display made Xiao Yan's scalp tingle. He turned and ran without hesitation.
The old man did not hesitate, his figure flickered, and he gave chase.
Xiao Yan noticed the opponent rapidly approaching, and the situation was critical. He couldn't care too much and directly revealed his Heavenly Demon Phoenix bone wings, with electric arcs surging around his feet.
Although he had increased his speed to the maximum, the old man still followed closely behind, not falling behind at all.
After Xiao Yan lured away the Sect Master of Yu Xian Sect, Mu Azure Kira hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and entered the mountain gate.
She changed into a Yu Xian Sect disciple's uniform. In the chaos, no one paid attention to such an ordinary disciple, and she reached the main hall unimpeded.
She closed her eyes, and her spirit power spread out, searching for Little Fairy Doctor's whereabouts. Soon, she found where Little Fairy Doctor was imprisoned, opened her eyes, and rushed towards it, racing against time.
"Who?" A pale-faced person with unsteady steps, looking as if they had indulged too much, blocked her path.
Mu Azure Kira judged from the opponent's aura that this was a Dou Emperor, but their Dou Qi was very unstable. Perhaps they had used certain methods during cultivation that increased speed but affected their foundation.
She used the sword in her hand instead of answering, wounding him in two or three moves. This Yu Xian Sect member was quite decisive; upon realizing he couldn't win, he turned and ran, shouting as he went:
"Help, there's an intruder!"
"Help, someone's killing!"
Mu Azure Kira rushed into the room and saw a white-haired woman with delicate features, pure yet somewhat enchanting, looking at her.
"Little Fairy Doctor?"
"It's me." A hint of joy flashed across Little Fairy Doctor's face, mixed with some worry. She had also sensed the terrifying aura of the Yu Xian Sect Master.
"I am Xiao Yan's companion, here to rescue you." Mu Azure Kira said concisely.
Little Fairy Doctor immediately said, "My Dou Qi is sealed. Please help me unseal it. This Sealed Artifact is not strong; it just happens to Sealed Artifact my power. If there's external help, I'm confident I can break it."
"Okay." Mu Azure Kira grabbed Little Fairy Doctor's hand and channeled her power into her.
Little Fairy Doctor used the external Dou Qi to impact the Sealed Artifact. Before long, with a surge of energy, her Sealed Artifact was broken.
At this point, many people from Yu Xian Sect had already gathered outside, and Mu Azure Kira's expression changed slightly. Although those people were not very strong, if they joined forces, they could still cause her considerable trouble.
"Leave it to me." After her power returned, Little Fairy Doctor shed her gentle demeanor, a hint of killing intent flashing in her eyes, and the aura of a Dou Ancestor emanated without reservation.
A hint of surprise flashed across Mu Azure Kira's face. She hadn't known that this companion of Xiao Yan was a Dou Ancestor, and seemingly even stronger than Xiao Yan.
When they walked out of the room, they found that the Yu Xian Sect members had already scattered, without even the slightest thought of resistance.
Little Fairy Doctor's face was filled with murderous intent, and her gaze was cold as she watched them leave.
Mu Azure Kira said quickly, "We can settle this score later. We need to leave quickly. Xiao Yan probably can't hold off the Yu Xian Sect Master for too long."
Little Fairy Doctor suppressed her killing intent and asked, "How do we notify Xiao Yan to retreat?"
"He didn't say. He only told me to rescue you and then leave."
Little Fairy Doctor's expression changed, and she worried for Xiao Yan.
Just as they were about to leave, they saw the Yu Xian Sect Master had returned, dragging a half-dead Xiao Yan in his hand.
"Xiao Yan!" Little Fairy Doctor cried out with concern, staring intently at the Yu Xian Sect Master, her gaze chilling, "Let him go."
The Yu Xian Sect Master grinned, showing a smile, and very obediently loosened his grip, letting go of Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan fell towards the ground in freefall.
Little Fairy Doctor didn't have time to think. She immediately flew over and caught him in a princess carry.
She looked at the heavily injured Xiao Yan with a heart full of pain, then her gaze turned grim as she looked at the Yu Xian Sect Master, making a decision in her heart.
She knew very well that she was not her opponent. Now there was only one way to break the situation: use the final burst of the Calamity Poison Body to drag the opponent down with her to death.
Just as she was about to hand Xiao Yan over to Mu Azure Kira for care and put her plan into action, Xiao Yan grabbed her clothes: "Little Fairy Doctor, come back."
"Don't worry, I won't let you die. You are my friend, my only friend."
Little Fairy Doctor showed a bright smile:
"My fate was sealed at birth. Now it's just arriving early. I'm truly happy to have known you."
Xiao Yan showed a slightly awkward smile: "Actually, he's half my master… Uh… The Young Sect Master of Yu Xian Sect… probably, seems like, approximately… is me."
Little Fairy Doctor tilted her head: "?"
