Deep Secluded Valley
Deep Secluded Valley Not long after, with the help of the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King, the Snake-People Race launched a counterattack, leaving countless soldiers of the Three Great Empires alliance on this battlefield forever.
After resolving the battle, inside the fortress hall.
"This Demon Poison Spot is much more powerful than the Branding Poison and Medusa's seal. Even the power of the Void Swallowing Flame needs some time to completely refine it."
Meow! (When I get stronger, I can do it faster and faster.) Xiao Yan played with a token. This wasn't a Soul Token, but the Poison Sect's sect token. Mao Wu was stopped by Xiao Yan when it was about to devour Liang Zhong Sheng's flesh and blood, and it was taken out.
As for the other Storage Rings and weapons, Xiao Yan glanced at them and treated them all as cat food for Mao Wu to devour. Anyway, it wasn't picky.
"Are you really okay?" Yun Yun looked at the Demon Poison Spot on the back of Xiao Yan's hand, her face showing concern.
"It's just a little poison, don't worry, I'm the champion of the Alchemist Convention." Xiao Yan said confidently.
Yun Yun gave Xiao Yan a resentful look, then said gratefully, "Thank you for saving me just now."
"We are all leaders of the Flame Alliance, helping each other is what we should do."
"Is it just because of the Flame Alliance?"
Yun Yun's voice was very soft, but with Xiao Yan's cultivation, he could naturally hear it. For a moment, the atmosphere between the two became a little subtle.
Dong! At this moment, Zi Yan swaggered in from outside, still gnawing on a large leg of lamb in her hand.
"Xiao Yan, when are we going to the Chuyun Empire?"
This bit of food was naturally not enough for Zi Yan's terrifying size. This was just to satisfy her cravings. To really be full, she still needed natural treasures.
"Are you leaving?" Yun Yun's beautiful eyes looked at Xiao Yan and asked.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Yan nodded and said, "Yes, I'm leaving at night. I came here this time intending to enter the Chuyun Empire from the Border Region. I have some things to do in the Chuyun Empire."
A fleeting look of dimness flashed in Yun Yun's eyes.
"Eh? Xiao Yan, what's that in your hand?" Zi Yan quickly finished gnawing on the entire roasted leg of lamb, reaching out to grab Xiao Yan with her oily hands.
"Hey, can't you wash your hands first!" Xiao Yan pushed Zi Yan's face away with a look of disgust, and continued, "This is bait, used for fishing."
"Ah? Can this be eaten?" Zi Yan and Yun Yun both looked puzzled. Wasn't the thing in Xiao Yan's hand just a sect token?
"Keeping the Poison Sect is also a threat. This time's Three Great Empires allied army was likely a probing entry initiated by the Poison Sect to capture the Little Fairy Doctor. It's a scourge that can't be left." A fierce glint flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes. Some things can't wait until they happen before retaliating. He had to be prepared and strike first.
Hearing this, Yun Yun's face showed worry, and she said, "Rumor has it that the Poison Sect Sect Leader is already a Dou Zong. Even the weakest one-star Dou Zong is much stronger than a peak Dou Huang."
Xiao Yan was only a seven-star Fighting King now, and the gap between him and a Dou Zong was too great. He could easily run into trouble, not to mention that the Poison Sect cultivated poison. Poison was too difficult to guard against, and one could be poisoned if they weren't careful.
"I'm going to the Chuyun Empire this time to find a way to improve my strength, and I also have pills to improve my strength. I'll wait until I reach Dou Huang before looking for the Poison Sect." Although Xiao Yan was a seven-star Fighting King, he was actually only a little away from Dou Huang.
Speaking of pills, Xiao Yan took out two brocade boxes from his Storage Ring and handed them to Yun Yun, saying, "Here are two Huangji Pills. You probably haven't used Huangji Pills before, right?"
The Huangji Pill was different from the Dou Wang Pill. The Huangji Pill could be used twice.
Yun Yun slowly opened the brocade box, and immediately a medicinal fragrance filled the entire hall. Seeing the Huangji Pill, Yun Yun's expression was a little shocked as she looked at Xiao Yan.
She didn't expect that Xiao Yan could already refine Huangji Pills, and he took out two at once! "This is too precious, I can't accept it." Yun Yun shook her head, closed the brocade box, and returned the Huangji Pill to Xiao Yan.
"Give it to me! I want it!" Zi Yan jumped directly onto the table. One would think Zi Yan's true form was a monkey, not a Void Ancient Dragon.
"Don't make trouble, the Huangji Pill isn't for Magical Beasts. Eating it won't directly improve your cultivation."
Xiao Yan looked at Yun Yun and said, "You are the Sect Leader of the Yunlan Sect, and the Flame Alliance still needs you. It's not good if your cultivation is too low. Besides, how can the Huangji Pill be as precious as the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame?"
"Just treat it as me paying you back a little favor first."
Seeing Xiao Yan's decisive appearance, Yun Yun knew that she couldn't win against him, so she put away the Huangji Pill.
After talking about some matters of the Flame Alliance, Xiao Yan left with Zi Yan, preparing to go to the Chuyun Empire.
Watching Xiao Yan's departing figure, Yun Yun gently stroked the brocade box and murmured, "I didn't ask you to pay me back."
In just about half a day, the Little Fairy Doctor had absorbed all of Liang Zhong Sheng's poisonous mist. And her strength actually reached the four-star Dou Huang in one breath, which left Xiao Yan speechless. A special physique was like having a cheat, but this was also related to the Little Fairy Doctor constantly suppressing herself from taking poison, so she improved so much at once.
Finally, after the group said goodbye to Yun Yun, they quickly left the Snake-People Race's fortress and began to fly towards the Chuyun Empire Border Region.
There would be a large buffer zone in the middle of the two countries' Border Region. Even with the speed of the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King, it was only at night that they arrived.
On a mountain peak at the edge of the Chuyun Empire, two purple streamers flashed from afar and appeared at the top of the mountain. It was the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King and Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King, with a man and two women sitting on the backs of the two Magical Beasts.
"The front is the Chuyun Empire. Poison Masters are rampant in this empire, so you have to be careful." The Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King said to Zi Yan and Xiao Yan. When the three of them first entered the Chuyun Empire, they suffered a lot. This place was completely different from other empires.
"Yes, this trip to the Chuyun Empire will be entrusted to Lion King and Little Fairy Doctor."
"Let's go, Deep Secluded Canyon is located on the edge of a city in the center of the Chuyun Empire, and it's still quite a distance from there." The Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King smiled and said.
"Okay."
The territory of the Chuyun Empire is much larger than that of the Gama Empire, but compared to the Gama Empire, this empire is undoubtedly much more chaotic.
The profession of Poison Master, which is almost universally despised in the Gama Empire, is unusually prosperous in the Chuyun Empire. In almost every city, one can see people wearing Poison Master robes. In the Chuyun Empire, there is a scene rarely seen in the Gama Empire, which is the sale of poisons.
In the Chuyun Empire, in addition to the Alchemist Guild, there is also a Poison Master Guild that is on par with the Alchemist Guild.
It is also because of this that the alchemists of the Chuyun Empire, who are clearly stronger, are much weaker than those of the Gama Empire. Yan Li, who competed with Xiao Yan for the championship of the Alchemist Convention, was the vice president of the Alchemist Guild of the Chuyun Empire.
In every city of this empire, there are shops specializing in selling poisons. As long as it is related to poison, it can be bought in these places, and the stronger the toxicity, the more expensive the price.
According to Little Fairy Doctor's introduction, there are two major forces in the Chuyun Empire. One is naturally the Poison Sect, which is a relatively new force, famous because its Sect Leader is a Dou Zong, and it controls one-third of the Chuyun Empire's territory.
The other is the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate, which is a long-standing sect. Although the Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate is only at the peak of Dou Huang, not as strong as the Poison Sect, it is rumored that the former Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate did not die and even broke through to Dou Zong. Therefore, the Poison Sect and the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate have always been evenly matched and mutually hostile.
It is also because of this reason that the Chuyun Empire is not ruled by powerful sects like the Luoyan Empire and the Mulan Empire, but by the royal family of the Chuyun Empire. In this regard, it is somewhat similar to the Gama Empire.
It took Xiao Yan and the others nearly seven days to travel a long distance to reach Youdu City, the city closest to Deep Secluded Canyon.
Along the way, Xiao Yan also gained some understanding of the chaos in the Chuyun Empire. Especially after seeing the poison mist splattering everywhere in some brawls, he became even more aware of the dangers of this empire.
Fortunately, Little Fairy Doctor was there, so Xiao Yan and the others were able to proceed so smoothly without any accidents along the way.
This city has no controller, or rather, it is jointly controlled by the Poison Sect, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate, and the Chuyun royal family.
Deep Secluded Canyon is a dangerous place for ordinary cultivators, but for those Poison Masters in the Chuyun Empire, it is a supreme treasure.
There is no doubt that it is rich in poisons and various poisonous creatures!
Every time the Poison Barrier of Deep Secluded Canyon recedes, many Poison Masters come to collect poisons or directly cultivate inside to improve their cultivation.
Therefore, Deep Secluded Canyon is also a treasure and holy land of the Chuyun Empire, so naturally everyone wants it, and naturally, no one can have it.
"Tsk tsk, this is really the most Poison Masters I've ever seen." Xiao Yan and the others all put on black robes to cover their faces, walking in this city full of Poison Masters.
Here, not covering your face is what makes you stand out. Poison Masters are not welcome, so almost every Poison Master has a robe to cover themselves.
Although the Big and Little Lion Kings cannot transform, they can shrink their size. From a distance, it just looks like Xiao Yan and his group are entering the city with their mounts.
"It is said that Deep Secluded Canyon is the birthplace of the Chuyun Empire. Once, a Dou Zun-level Poison Master was besieged because of his identity as a Poison Master, and eventually died in the canyon. Before his death, that Poison Dou Zun released all his Poison Dou Qi, cursing this land, which formed the terrible Poison Barrier and such a special environment, rich in poisons." Little Fairy Doctor explained softly to Xiao Yan.
"Let's find a place to stay first. There are still seven days before the Poison Barrier recedes, right?" Xiao Yan calculated the time and said.
"Yes, it should be the seventh day. When the Poison Barrier recedes, we will enter the canyon to find the Strange Flame and Clear Soul Youlan." Little Fairy Doctor nodded.
Xiao Yan looked at Zi Yan, who was doing nothing, and smiled: "Zi Yan, this time it's up to you. As long as you can find these two things, you can have whatever pills and Medicinal Herbs you want."
Immediately, Zi Yan's eyes sparkled, and she nodded vigorously. Although she can transform now, her strength is still too weak. But for Magical Beasts, there is no need to consider the problem of Dou Qi instability. You can give them as much energy as they can digest.
Just as the group was planning to find an inn to stay in, Xiao Yan forgot that he was a person with 'great luck', and wherever he went, chaos would follow.
*Boom boom boom*, Little Fairy Doctor had only led them down a few alleys when suddenly, the earth shook and the sky trembled, and the entire Youdu City began to shake.
"What's going on?" The sudden shaking of the entire Youdu City startled Zi Yan.
Feeling the shaking of the earth, Little Fairy Doctor's expression changed, and she flew directly into the sky, with the others following closely behind.
In that instant, Little Fairy Doctor looked in one direction.
"The direction of Deep Secluded Canyon!!" Little Fairy Doctor looked into the distance at the direction of the canyon, her eyes narrowed.
A loud *boom*! However, at this time, even if Little Fairy Doctor and the others didn't fly up or look into the distance, they could see an astonishing scene. With a deafening sound, everyone in Youdu City saw an astonishing scene. The dark green poisonous gas was lifted high, turning into a shocking poisonous gas tornado that went straight into the sky! After this poisonous gas storm was lifted very, very high, it was like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, and it rolled back down from the sky.
This shocking scene frightened countless people in Youdu City. Whether they were Poison Masters who had come from outside the Chuyun Empire, or local Poison Masters from Youdu City in the Chuyun Empire, they were all shocked by the scene before them.
Even Little Fairy Doctor and the Big and Little Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion Kings were stunned.
Even long after this shocking phenomenon disappeared, many people still couldn't recover for a long time. No one knew what had happened with this sudden change.
Xiao Yan looked at the dumbfounded and terrified residents around him, then looked at Little Fairy Doctor, and asked with a solemn expression: "There was no such phenomenon before... right?"
Little Fairy Doctor frowned slightly, nodded solemnly, and said, "The Lion King and I have entered the canyon twice, and there was no such phenomenon either time... and I have never heard of such a phenomenon."
Sigh... Xiao Yan was dizzy. He had just arrived! This couldn't be counted on his head, right? He hadn't done anything yet!! Sir! I'm innocent! The Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King asked, "Should we go to the canyon to take a look?"
However, there was no need for them to go to the canyon to check the situation, because soon, news spread throughout Youdu City.
"The Poison Barrier of the Deep Secluded Canyon has completely disappeared!!!" A shocking piece of news came, instantly stunning the entire Youdu City. Quite a few people were frightened, including those local residents who had lived in Youdu City for several generations.
"The Poison Barrier of the Deep Secluded Canyon has completely disappeared? That's impossible, right?!" Everyone who heard such news was startled, their first reaction being disbelief.
The Poison Barrier of the Deep Secluded Canyon would only weaken, it could never completely disappear. For countless years, they could only wait for the Poison Barrier to weaken, relying on their own Poison skills to brave the Poison Barrier and enter to seek opportunities.
Throughout the history of the Chuyun Empire, the Poison Barrier of the Deep Secluded Canyon had always been extremely fierce, and even a Dou Zong would not dare to enter it under normal circumstances.
"It's absolutely true, the Deep Secluded Canyon no longer has a Poison Barrier, it's no longer a dangerous place, there's no danger for anyone who enters!" The young Poison Master who first brought back the news said with certainty.
"This, how is this possible!" Such news was really hard to believe.
