After completing the transaction, Wu Yong left a trail of sonic booms behind him as he headed straight for the Chu Yun Empire, a nation gathered with poison masters located around the Jia Ma Empire.
Although Little Fairy Doctor said she didn't want anything, it was impossible for Wu Yong to return empty-handed.
Little Fairy Doctor's cultivation could not do without poison, especially some of the most potent varieties.
This was the very purpose of Wu Yong's trip to the Chu Yun Empire; he intended to scavenge a wave of cultivation resources.
Now that the Heavenly Poison Girl was gone, the Poison Scorpion Sect stood as the sole dominant power in the Chu Yun Empire, aside from the imperial family.
The Poison Scorpion Sect's old sect leader, Xie Bi Yan, had once crossed paths with Jia Xing Tian of the Jia Ma Empire and was a nine-star Dou Huang powerhouse.
However, he was currently in seclusion, reportedly attempting to break through that barrier.
All affairs of the Poison Scorpion Sect were now handled by his subordinate, the Dou Huang powerhouse Xie Shan.
The Poison Scorpion Sect, as the name implied, based its very existence on poison.
The headquarters of such a massive sect was no secret; one could find it with just a little bit of inquiry.
The Poison Scorpion Sect was to the Chu Yun Empire what the Yun Lan Sect was to the Jia Ma Empire.
In fact, due to certain specific reasons, the Poison Scorpion Sect held even greater influence within the Chu Yun Empire.
It was a pity, then, that today, the Poison Scorpion Sect was about to become history.
A cyan hand spanning hundreds of feet rapidly condensed above the Poison Scorpion Sect, and such terrifying energy fluctuations naturally drew the attention of the experts within.
The moment they looked up, that giant hand descended upon them.
The experts of the Poison Scorpion Sect joined forces to resist the giant hand above, but they never expected a Space Slash to appear from nowhere, slicing them all at the waist and cutting them in two.
Countless wind blades launched an assault on the rest of the sect, and the scent of blood permeated every corner of the Poison Scorpion Sect.
This was a massacre—a ruthless slaughter of the weak by the strong!
The aged figure currently in seclusion did not escape this fate either; before he could even fly out of his secret chamber, his body was severed by a Space Slash.
The magic core inside the body of that sixth-rank Magic Beast poison scorpion was also extracted by Wu Yong.
The wind carried these ownerless Storage Rings to Wu Yong's hand. The one belonging to the old man who died in the secret chamber was of the highest quality, followed by the Storage Ring of the Dou Huang powerhouse, Xie Shan.
They were all high-grade Storage Rings, each with an internal space of over a hundred cubic meters; the old man Xie Bi Yan's ring was even larger.
The others were relatively average. Wu Yong collected the dozen or so mid-grade rings with less than a hundred cubic meters of space, and he did not let the low-grade ones go either.
Wu Yong did not overlook a single item inside these rings, using the wind to help him sense the energy fluctuations of the objects to determine their value.
The treasury of the Poison Scorpion Sect did not escape Wu Yong's perception either. After scouring the place clean, Wu Yong left with hundreds of Storage Rings packed to the brim.
From the destruction of the Poison Scorpion Sect to the complete looting of its assets, it took Wu Yong less than half an hour.
With such clean and efficient movements, it was hard not to suspect that this kid was a repeat offender.
The most powerful force in the Chu Yun Empire, the Poison Scorpion Sect, had been wiped out just like that, their resistance failing to stir up even a ripple.
What had the Poison Scorpion Sect done wrong?
They had done nothing wrong. At least, judging by the facts as they stood, there was absolutely no grudge or history between the Poison Scorpion Sect and Wu Yong; they had no connection whatsoever.
Yet they were wiped out just like that, simply because Wu Yong wanted to take some cultivation resources from them, and he didn't want to waste time, so he destroyed the sect.
That's right, the Poison Scorpion Sect did nothing wrong; it was merely because Wu Yong wanted to do it, so he did.
This was the truest rule of the Dou Qi Continent: the strong are respected precisely because they can easily destroy the weak and seize everything they possess.
Furthermore, no one would stand up to condemn the strong.
The prerequisite, of course, is that the strong person is powerful enough.
Destroying you—what does it have to do with you!
It was not until long after Wu Yong had left the Poison Scorpion Sect that anyone dared to approach.
Then, they witnessed with their own eyes the tragic, severed remains of the experts who had once stood at the pinnacle of the Poison Scorpion Sect.
They all speculated as to which mysterious powerhouse had attacked the sect.
Could it be that the Poison Scorpion Sect had obtained some kind of treasure?
The severed corpses still retained faint traces of spatial power, a hallmark unique to those super-powerhouses, which forced them to overthink the situation.
However, even if they said it out loud, no one would believe that the person who attacked the sect did so simply because he didn't want to waste time gathering resources, and so he... wiped out the top sect of a massive empire.
On the other side, a satisfied Wu Yong, having gained a bountiful harvest, embarked on his journey back to the academy.
After returning to the academy, Wu Yong first disposed of some of the less important items he had acquired.
These were mainly low-end, high-volume, and common supplies.
Such items were essential for sects and similar organizations, but for a lone wolf like Wu Yong, they were nothing but space-wasters.
As for the remaining cultivation resources that could be used by Little Fairy Doctor, Wu Yong placed them all into a high-grade Storage Ring.
It was time for their monthly date, which began with Little Fairy Doctor accepting the beautiful flower Wu Yong had brought for her.
Wu Yong and Little Fairy Doctor strolled leisurely, and he spoke to her about the progress of Medusa's evolution.
Walking under the shade of a tree, Wu Yong took out the gift he had prepared for Little Fairy Doctor.
A high-level Storage Ring, filled to the brim with cultivation resources for a poison master.
"Wow! So many!?"
After taking a look, Little Fairy Doctor let out an exclamation and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Yong, how did you get so many resources?"
"I stopped by the Chu Yun Empire on my way back and wiped out the Poison Scorpion Sect."
"Is that the Poison Scorpion Sect, the strongest one in the Chu Yun Empire?"
"That's right, they were the wealthiest ones in the Chu Yun Empire."
"Then, Yong, you didn't encounter any danger, did you? You aren't hurt?"
"Of course not. Who do you think I am?"
Wu Yong raised his eyebrows at Little Fairy Doctor triumphantly; the Poison Scorpion Sect was just a bunch of roadside weeds that couldn't even touch him.
Seeing this expression on Wu Yong, Little Fairy Doctor's eyes curved into crescents, and she smilingly planted a kiss on his face.
"I knew Yong was the best!"
"The little fairy is right; I am the strongest!"
Wu Yong flipped his palm, and a black-purple scroll fell into his hand.
"There's also this, it's for the little fairy too."
"A Di-tier Dou Technique, and a high-level one at that!" Little Fairy Doctor took the scroll, startled once again.
Was a Dou Technique of this level something a mere Da Dou Shi like her could obtain?
"Mhm, I have one too, and I even got an extra cultivation method compared to you."
Wu Yong smiled and reached out to stroke the little snake on his wrist.
"Come to think of it, Medusa deserves some of the credit for this; these were all traded for using a Heavenly Flame."
"Is that so? Then thank you very much~"
Little Fairy Doctor stroked the colorful little snake on Wu Yong's wrist, and as she looked at the little creature, a look of amazement couldn't help but flash across her face.
She hadn't expected that a snake could actually be this beautiful.
