After completing the deal, Wu Yong left a string of sonic boom clouds in his wake as he sped straight toward the Chu Yun Empire, the poison-master nation bordering the Jia Ma Empire.
Although Little Fairy said she wanted nothing, Wu Yong could not possibly bring her nothing.
Xiao Yi Xian's cultivation could not do without poison, especially exceptionally potent poisons.
That was also the purpose of Wu Yong's trip to the Chu Yun Empire. He intended to sweep up a batch of cultivation resources.
Now that the Heavenly Poison Girl was gone, aside from the imperial family, the Poison Scorpion Sect stood alone as the dominant force in the Chu Yun Empire.
The Poison Scorpion Sect's old sect master, Xie Bi Yan, had once fought Jia Xing Tian of the Jia Ma Empire. He was a Nine-Star Dou Emperor.
However, he was currently in secluded cultivation, supposedly attempting to break through that barrier.
The Poison Scorpion Sect's affairs were now handled by Xie Shan, a Dou Emperor under his command.
As its name suggested, the Poison Scorpion Sect relied on poison as the foundation of its existence.
The location of such a massive Poison Scorpion Sect headquarters was no secret. A little inquiry was all it took to find it.
The Poison Scorpion Sect was to the Chu Yun Empire what the Misty Cloud Sect was to the Jia Ma Empire.
Because of certain special reasons, the Poison Scorpion Sect's influence in the Chu Yun Empire was even greater.
Unfortunately, the Poison Scorpion Sect was about to become history today...
A colossal azure hand hundreds of zhang wide swiftly formed above the Poison Scorpion Sect. Such terrifying energy fluctuations naturally drew the attention of the sect's many experts.
The moment they looked up, the giant hand came crashing down.
The Poison Scorpion Sect's experts joined forces to resist the giant hand above them, only for a Space Slash from nowhere to cut them all cleanly in half at the waist.
Countless wind blades attacked the Poison Scorpion Sect's remaining members, and the stench of blood spread through every corner of the sect.
This was a massacre, a merciless slaughter of the weak by the strong!
The aged figure in secluded cultivation did not escape either. Before he could even fly out of his cultivation chamber, a Space Slash severed his body.
The magical core within that Sixth-Rank Magical Beast poison scorpion was also extracted by Wu Yong.
The wind delivered those ownerless Storage Rings into Wu Yong's hands. Of them, the Storage Ring on the old man who died in the chamber was of the finest quality, followed by the Storage Ring belonging to Xie Shan, the Dou Emperor.
They were all high-grade Storage Rings with more than a hundred cubic meters of space, though Xie Bi Yan's old Storage Ring was somewhat larger.
The other Storage Rings were rather ordinary. Wu Yong put away the dozen or so mid-grade Storage Rings with less than a hundred cubic meters of space, and he did not spare the low-grade ones either.
Wu Yong likewise left nothing behind from within those Storage Rings. Through the wind, he sensed the energy fluctuations of the items and judged their value.
The Poison Scorpion Sect's treasure vault also failed to escape Wu Yong's senses. After scraping the place clean, Wu Yong left with several hundred Storage Rings packed to the brim.
From destroying the Poison Scorpion Sect to looting it clean, Wu Yong took less than half an hour.
Such clean and efficient work made it hard not to wonder whether this kid was a habitual offender.
The Poison Scorpion Sect, the strongest force in the Chu Yun Empire, was destroyed just like that. Their resistance had not even caused a ripple.
What had the Poison Scorpion Sect done wrong?
They had done nothing wrong. At least, based on everything that had happened so far, the Poison Scorpion Sect had absolutely no grudges or history with Wu Yong. There had been no connection between them whatsoever.
Yet they were destroyed just like that, merely because Wu Yong wanted to take some cultivation resources from them and did not wish to waste time, so he exterminated the Poison Scorpion Sect.
That was right. The Poison Scorpion Sect had done nothing wrong. Wu Yong simply wanted to do it, so he did it.
This was the truest rule of the Dou Qi Continent. The strong were revered because they could easily destroy the weak and seize everything the weak possessed.
And no one would step forward to condemn the strong.
Provided that the strong were strong enough.
Destroying you, what does it have to do with you!
Only long after Wu Yong had left the Poison Scorpion Sect did anyone dare approach.
Then they saw with their own eyes the miserable sight of the Poison Scorpion Sect's experts, who had once lorded over everyone else, lying there with their bodies severed at the waist.
They all guessed at which mysterious expert had attacked the Poison Scorpion Sect.
Could it be that the Poison Scorpion Sect had obtained some treasure?
Weak spatial power still lingered on the bisected corpses. This was a mark unique to those supreme experts, and they could not help but think deeply about it.
Yet perhaps even if the truth were spoken, no one would believe it. The person who attacked the Poison Scorpion Sect simply did not want to waste time gathering resources, so he... destroyed a top sect of a vast empire.
Meanwhile, Wu Yong, having reaped a bountiful harvest, contentedly set out on his journey back to the academy.
After returning to the academy, Wu Yong first disposed of some of the less important things he had acquired this time.
They were mainly low-end, common supplies in enormous quantities.
Such things were essential to sect-like factions, but for a lone wanderer like Wu Yong, keeping them would serve no purpose beyond taking up space.
Wu Yong placed all the cultivation resources Xiao Yi Xian could use into a high-grade Storage Ring.
Another once-a-month date began when Xiao Yi Xian accepted the beautiful flower Wu Yong gave her.
Wu Yong and Xiao Yi Xian strolled leisurely while he told her about Medusa's evolution.
When they reached a patch of shade beneath a tree, Wu Yong took out the gift he had prepared for Xiao Yi Xian.
It was a high-grade Storage Ring filled to the brim with cultivation resources for poison masters.
"Wow! So much!?"
After looking through it, Xiao Yi Xian cried out in surprise and could not help asking curiously, "A Yong, how did you get so many resources?"
"On my way back, I made a detour through the Chu Yun Empire and wiped out the Poison Scorpion Sect."
"The Poison Scorpion Sect, the strongest one in the Chu Yun Empire?"
"Yep. They were the richest in the Chu Yun Empire."
"Then, A Yong, you didn't run into any danger or get hurt, did you?"
"Of course not. Who do you think I am?"
Wu Yong proudly raised his brows at Xiao Yi Xian. The Poison Scorpion Sect had been nothing more than roadside trash; they could not even touch him.
Seeing Wu Yong's expression, Xiao Yi Xian's eyes curved into crescents as she smiled and kissed his cheek.
"I knew A Yong was the strongest!"
"Little Fairy is right. I'm the strongest!"
With a flip of his hand, a Black-purple Scroll fell into Wu Yong's palm.
"And this is for Little Fairy too."
"A Di-tier Dou Technique, and an Earth Tier High-Level Dou Technique at that!" Xiao Yi Xian took the scroll and was startled once more.
Could a mere Da Dou Shi like her really obtain a Dou Technique of such a level?
"Mm, I have one too, and I even have an extra cultivation method compared to you."
Wu Yong smiled and reached out to stroke Little Snake on his wrist.
"Come to think of it, Medusa deserves some credit for this too. It was all exchanged for with Heavenly Flames."
"Is that so? Then thank you very much~"
Xiao Yi Xian stroked the colorful Little Snake around Wu Yong's wrist. As she looked at the little creature, a trace of amazement could not help flashing across her face.
She had never imagined that a snake could be so beautiful.
