Chapter Eight: The Scorpion Old Freak Was Scared Stupid

"Yun Shan, you've brazenly brought people into my Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate's territory. What do you want?"

Xie Biyan and Xie Shan frowned slightly when they suddenly saw Yun Shan personally arriving at the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate.

What was Yun Shan doing here?

They certainly didn't think Yun Shan had come to visit today. With such a bizarre setup, he clearly had some ulterior motive.

"Hmph. Are you saying I shouldn't come here when I have nothing else to do?"

The old man Yun Shan thrust out his chest and let out an arrogant sneer, his attitude haughty beyond measure. He thought to himself, I might have feared you, Xie Biyan, in the past, but now that I have the Old Ancestor backing me, would I still fear you?

What he didn't know was that Ye Qianqian was nothing but a fraud. If Yun Shan learned the truth, he would probably vomit three liters of blood on the spot.

Yun Shan said, "Xie Biyan, your Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate actually dared to defy the summons of my Misty Cloud Sect. You have already offended the majesty of my Misty Cloud Sect. Today will be the day your Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate is destroyed!"

With his arrogant attitude, complete lack of hesitation, and tyrannical words about destroying another sect at the slightest disagreement, Yun Shan felt incredibly satisfied with himself.

As soon as he said this, Xie Biyan and Xie Shan looked at Yun Shan as if he were an idiot.

Had Yun Shan forgotten to take his medicine before leaving home today? What nonsense was he spouting? Everyone knew that the Misty Cloud Sect was a trash sect on the Northwestern Continent, yet they still dared to swagger around here. Where did they get the nerve?

"Stubborn fools, bringing humiliation upon yourselves." Ignoring the expressions of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate's people, Yun Shan hurriedly turned around and walked toward the Phoenix Imperial Carriage behind him. He bowed devoutly and said, "I respectfully beseech the Old Ancestor to take action."

The other Misty Cloud Sect elders and disciples also bowed toward the carriage and shouted in unison:

"I respectfully beseech the Old Ancestor to take action!"

"I respectfully beseech the Old Ancestor to take action!"

"I respectfully beseech the Old Ancestor to take action!"

Xie Biyan and Xie Shan stared at each other, utterly bewildered. What did this mean? Were they asking someone to destroy the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate? Wasn't that a little unrealistic?

Who on the Northwestern Continent didn't know the strength of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate? Although it couldn't compare with the Heaven Heavenly Snake Mansion, it wasn't a sect that just anyone could destroy, all right?

Moreover, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate had the Hall of Souls backing it. It could be considered one of the Hall of Souls' franchise stores. Destroying the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate meant making an enemy of the Hall of Souls. Were they joking around?

"You junior fools, are you the ones who defied my Misty Cloud Sect?"

However, at that instant, an immensely powerful voice burst from within the carriage and continuously spread outward.

The voice was deafening, high and forceful, deep and resonant like rolling thunder, echoing throughout the entire space.

"What's going on?" This scene instantly drained the color from Xie Biyan and Xie Shan's faces. The other Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate elders' hearts also pounded wildly.

What a powerful voice! Even a Dou Zong going all out couldn't make such a huge commotion. Could there be a venerable expert inside that carriage?

"Ding!"

Congratulations, Host, you have obtained 500 Shock Points from Xie Biyan.

Congratulations, Host, you have obtained 700 Shock Points from Xie Shan.

Congratulations, Host, you have obtained 1,200 Shock Points from Xie Yu.

Congratulations, Host, you have obtained...

Just what kind of existence was inside that carriage?

Xie Biyan was greatly startled. Seeing how respectful Yun Shan had been just now, he secretly guessed that the person inside the carriage might be the Misty Cloud Sect's Old Ancestor.

"The Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate must be destroyed."

Inside the carriage, Ye Qianqian secretly pulled out a megaphone through the gauze and once again released an incomparably loud voice, harvesting another batch of Shock Points.

The old man Yun Shan was so proud!

The Old Ancestor had made one move, and it was already clear whether she was capable. Just look, everyone! She hadn't even shown her face, yet she had already scared Xie Biyan into wetting himself.

"Elder Scorpion, we... wh-what... what should we do?" Xie Shan's forehead was covered in cold sweat. It turned out the information sent back to the sect had been correct. The Misty Cloud Sect really did have an Old Ancestor who had emerged.

If that was the case, then the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate absolutely could not become enemies with them!

Xie Biyan forcibly calmed himself. Having lived for so long, his mental fortitude was naturally greater than Xie Shan's. He didn't let that voice shatter his defenses, but his attitude immediately changed.

"May I ask which senior has arrived at my Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate? This junior is Xie Biyan. I respectfully ask Senior to come out for a meeting."

Hearing the change in Xie Biyan's attitude, Ye Qianqian knew that her megaphone trick had worked. She immediately pulled open the carriage's gauze with one hand and strode out.

But the moment she appeared before everyone, she completely overturned their understanding once again.

"What? This powerhouse is actually a little girl?"

When Xie Biyan and Xie Shan saw who had come out, their expressions turned strange. The little girl before them looked only five or six years old. How could she possibly be the Misty Cloud Sect's Old Ancestor?

With both hands behind her back, Ye Qianqian strode toward Xie Biyan and Xie Shan. The Misty Cloud Sect elders behind her followed closely like lackeys, imitating the entrance of Brother Fage from God of Gamblers. Her pretentious bearing was unmatched.

"You're Xie Biyan?" Ye Qianqian narrowed her eyes and sized up the decrepit old man leaning on a cane.

In the original story, Xie Biyan had been a fairly significant supporting character. Although he appeared for only a few chapters, the Devil Poison Scar he created after self-detonating had nearly poisoned Xiao Yan to death, leaving a deep impression on Ye Qianqian.

"That's right, I... I am." Xie Biyan frowned. Seeing that Ye Qianqian was merely a little girl, and that her cultivation was only at the Dou Master level, he quickly began to grow suspicious.

She only had Dou Master cultivation, yet Yun Shan called her the Old Ancestor. He really didn't know whether Yun Shan had gone mad or the entire Misty Cloud Sect had gone mad.

As for that immense voice just now, Xie Biyan secretly rationalized that it must have been some mysterious secret technique. That was why the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate's disciples had been caught off guard and frightened so badly.

Ye Qianqian was startled inwardly. Could I have revealed some flaw?

Xie Biyan was different from Yun Shan and wasn't nearly as easy to fool. Before deceiving Yun Shan, she had had Yun Potian's dream as supporting evidence, along with a few tricks of her own. Xie Biyan was different. Trying to fool this old fox into a daze would truly be difficult.

Ye Qianqian put on an aloof expression and continued, "You know, there are two things I hate most in life. First, people who dare to openly show disrespect toward me. Second, insignificant ants who don't know their own place.

"Yet you, brat, have committed both offenses. So I'm very displeased. You've gotten yourself into trouble, understand?"

"Then what do you want? To annihilate my Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate?" Xie Biyan's tone suddenly turned vicious, his previous reverence completely gone. He said, "With your trifling Dou Master strength, you still dare to put on airs in front of me?"

Seeing that Ye Qianqian remained silent, Xie Biyan became even more certain of his judgment. This little girl was nothing but a fraud relying on borrowed authority.

"How dare you, Xie Biyan! You actually dare to be rude to the Old Ancestor!" Seeing Xie Biyan's arrogant attitude, Yun Shan immediately shouted angrily.

"Hahahahahaha!" Xie Biyan laughed instead of getting angry. "Yun Shan, I truly don't know how your brain grew. You actually call such a little girl your Old Ancestor? I see you must have had water in your brain, allowing yourself to be deceived.

"Forget it. Today, I'll be a good person for once and help you, old man, expose this person's deception!"

Before his words had even finished, Xie Biyan laughed loudly and suddenly swung the scorpion staff in his hand toward Ye Qianqian in the distance. A poisonous storm swept over all things.

The strength of a four-star Dou Zong was extraordinary. Wherever the poisonous Dou Qi passed, trees corroded, stones melted, and even the sky was churned into a murky mess.

The terrifying poison frightened the Misty Cloud Sect's people into retreating again and again, afraid that they would turn into skeletons if they were touched by it.

Deep in Yun Shan's eyes was intense apprehension. Even though he and Xie Biyan were both one-star Dou Zong, he would struggle to withstand the erosion of this poison, let alone when his opponent was a four-star Dou Zong.

"Hahaha, little girl, you're so scared you can't even move, are you?"

Seeing Ye Qianqian still standing there foolishly after Xie Biyan attacked, Xie Shan immediately felt that he had been fooled.

What Misty Cloud Sect Old Ancestor? What getting themselves into trouble? It was all bullshit. This little girl was just a braggart and a fraud. She could fool Yun Shan, but she had come to the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate to put on airs and scare people? Who did she think she was fooling?

"Ol-ol-old Ancestor..."

When Yun Shan saw Ye Qianqian standing motionless, his vision also swam. Recalling Xie Biyan's words, Ye Qianqian truly only had Dou Master cultivation. He immediately felt as if his faith had collapsed.

Had I really been deceived all these days?

But how could he explain the miraculous Nine Dragon Pulling Coffin?

And how could he explain the miraculous cultivation technique she had taught Na Lan Yan Ran?

And how could he explain the cultivation techniques he had comprehended while teaching the Misty Cloud Sect's disciples?

Yun Shan also began to waver.

"Hehe, you really won't die unless you insist on courting death!" Ye Qianqian's palms were drenched in cold sweat, but she pretended to be profound as she shook her head. She immediately released her Conqueror's Haki.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"

In an instant, waves of powerful pressure burst from her body.

The pressure was endless. The moment it appeared, it shook the entire battlefield, as if all living things were trembling. Wave after wave spread outward until it covered the entire Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate.

Some of the weaker Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate disciples were suppressed until their legs went limp. In the end, they fainted in rows, like wheat being harvested.

Xie Biyan was closest to Ye Qianqian and bore the brunt of the Conqueror's Haki, nearly being scared out of his wits. Yet he saw Ye Qianqian quickly pull a deck of playing cards from her robes and throw eleven cards onto the ground.

"Dealing with you isn't worth my taking action. Let my servants play with you instead!"

"Crack!"

As the playing cards hit the ground, lightning flashed and thunder boomed beyond the nine heavens. A golden radiance shone down upon the place where the cards had fallen. Eleven powerhouses slowly descended from the sky.

Everyone looked up, and their pupils abruptly contracted. Among these mysterious powerhouses descending from the heavens, ten were peak Dou Emperors. At the front of them stood a golden-haired girl who appeared only fifteen or sixteen years old, her imposing presence shocking everyone.

Xie Biyan's heart jolted. He actually couldn't see through the strength of that golden-haired girl.

"Servant Saber has answered the summons. Please give your orders, Master." The girl and the ten Dou Emperors knelt together before Ye Qianqian.

"Ding!"

Congratulations, Host, you have obtained 5,000 Shock Points from Xie Biyan.
