Gazing at Yun Yun's stunningly beautiful face, Lin Feng suddenly spoke. "Tomorrow, I'll be leaving for a while—I need to make a trip to the Chu Yun Empire."
"Come back soon."
After a long silence, Yun Yun's voice finally came softly.
She knew she couldn't stop him.
"Mm."
After spending an entire day with Yun Yun…
The next day, Lin Feng set off for the Snake-People Clan to find Medusa, then headed out with her to help Xiao Yixian with her situation.
Of course, to be safe, he also invited Yun Shan, the Dou Zong powerhouse, to assist them.
Although his relationship with the Yun Lan Sect was quite close now, he didn't let Yun Shan come for free.
Instead, he gave him two Mighty Huang Pills he had previously obtained from Han Feng as payment.
When he saw Medusa, little Zi Yan also started making a fuss, insisting on going along.
Lin Feng originally hadn't planned to bring Zi Yan, who could break through at any moment.
But under her endless whining and rolling around in protest, he could only helplessly agree to bring the little one along.
Moments later, after Medusa had finished giving instructions to her subordinates…
The four of them quickly left the territory of the Snake-People Clan, flying rapidly toward the Chu Yun Empire.
The Chu Yun Empire's territory wasn't any weaker than that of the Jia Ma Empire—in fact, because its overall strength was much greater…
Its land area was also much broader than Jia Ma's.
However, compared to Jia Ma Empire, this empire was clearly much more chaotic.
Still, it was at least a unified empire.
Compared to the lawless Black-Corner Region, it was much more peaceful.
That said, poison masters, who were almost universally reviled in the Jia Ma Empire, were thriving in the Chu Yun Empire.
In nearly every city, one could see people dressed in poison master robes.
And in every city, there were shops specifically for selling all kinds of poisonous substances.
Anything related to poison could be bought in these places.
Naturally, the more toxic the item, the more expensive it was.
Because most people in the Chu Yun Empire cultivated a special kind of Dou Qi known as Poison Dou Qi.
This kind of Dou Qi relied on various methods to absorb the toxic energy from poisons for cultivation.
It bore some similarities to Xiao Yixian's Woeful Poison Body.
However, in terms of efficiency and speed, the two were worlds apart.
On a mountain peak outside Sky Poison City in the Chu Yun Empire, three streaks of light shot in from the distance.
Moments later, they turned into four human figures, appearing atop the mountain peak.
By now, it had been six days since Lin Feng had left the Jia Ma Empire.
With their speed, they should have reached this place in just a day or so.
But during the journey, after going through several intense battles, Lin Feng sensed a breakthrough opportunity—
Breaking through to Four-Star Dou Huang had cost him two full days.
However, this journey had greatly opened the eyes of Lin Feng and Zi Yan.
The battles they encountered along the way were very different from normal fights.
While both sides unleashed their Dou Techniques, they were also constantly spraying poisonous mists in all directions.
Watching this, the corners of Lin Feng and Zi Yan's mouths twitched nonstop.
However, Medusa and Yun Shan, who had fought the Jia Ma Empire for years, were already used to such scenes.
"How are we going to find her now?"
Gazing at the sacred place of the Jia Ma Empire people in the distance—Jia Ma City—Medusa suddenly asked.
"Before returning here, Xiao Yixian gave me a soul jade token. I can use it to contact her."
As he spoke, Lin Feng flipped his palm, and a gray jade token appeared in his hand. He gently crushed it into powder.
After doing all this, he looked at the two women and said, "Let's rest for a bit. She should be arriving soon."
Upon hearing this, both Medusa and Yun Shan nodded silently, then found a spot to rest.
Zi Yan, upon hearing the word "rest," immediately sat down eagerly, took out a massive jade bottle from her storage ring
, and began chugging its contents straight into her mouth.
As she ate, she let out bell-like giggles. "Awu~ So tasty!"
Watching her rough actions, even the usually cold and elegant Medusa couldn't help but have the corners of her red lips twitch slightly.
Yun Shan was even more dumbfounded, his jaw nearly dropping.
He had lived for so many years and had never seen such an eye-popping scene.
"This girl's craving for energy has become more intense lately… Looks like once this is over, she'll need to start leveling up."
Looking at Zi Yan, who had already swallowed nearly a hundred Medicinal Pills in just a short time, Lin Feng mused silently.
As Lin Feng and the others waited atop the mountain for about ten minutes…
A thin figure suddenly appeared in their vision, and after a few swift flickers, she appeared in midair above the mountain out of thin air.
The woman was dressed in a violet gown, her long silver hair draping down her slender waist in a way that made people want to play with it.
Looking at the young man before her, a smile suddenly surfaced on her delicate face.
"Sorry, due to the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate becoming increasingly aggressive recently, I spent some time dealing with sect affairs."
With a fair hand, she tucked a lock of wind-blown hair behind her white ear. Xiao Yixian smiled apologetically.
This expression—if seen by people from the Jia Ma Empire—would probably leave their jaws on the ground.
They would never believe that the usually cold and indifferent Heavenly Poison Woman would ever show such a look.
"It's fine."
Shaking his head, Lin Feng recalled her earlier words and asked curiously, "Didn't you say before that the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate has always kept a low profile? Why have they suddenly emerged and declared war on your Poison Sect?"
In his memory, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate wasn't supposed to appear in the public eye until two years later.
"The Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate was indeed a relatively low-key sect before. The reason they suddenly appeared is because of the Hall of Souls's manipulation behind the scenes."
Upon hearing Lin Feng's question, Xiao Yixian's expression became grave as she explained, "Previously, when I suddenly withdrew my troops, the Hall of Souls's Protector Tie became very displeased. Later, when he realized I had no interest in continuing to work for him, he turned to cooperate with the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate instead."
At this point, Xiao Yixian said a little helplessly, "One of the benefits Protector Tie promised the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate was apparently helping them unify Jia Ma.
Lately, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate has had many new experts helping them—ones shrouded in black mist, very similar to Protector Tie. But their strength is far inferior, only at the Dou Wang and Dou Huang levels."
"After gaining the support of those experts, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate began aggressively conquering other sects. Among the targeted sects were many subordinate forces of my Poison Sect.
So, I had no choice but to step in and stop them. Just a few days ago, even the old monster who had been in secluded cultivation within the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate came out to assist. I fought him once—it was quite troublesome."
Recalling that battle from a few days ago, a cold glint flashed in Xiao Yixian's eyes. Clearly, she held some fear toward that old monster.
After hearing her explanation, Lin Feng nodded slightly. He now had a rough understanding of the current situation.
