Yan Xiao's Identity Unleashed, Killing with a Casual Flick!
A wave of fire swept across the Square.
Xiao Yan landed in front of Qian Du, his gaze sweeping over the crowd in the Square, lingering especially on Green Mist for a couple of seconds.
"So you're the Dou Emperor from the so-called Anti-Poison Sect Alliance?" Xiao Yan asked calmly.
Green Mist looked at Xiao Yan's unmistakably genuine Sixth-Rank Alchemist robe and said with a serious expression, "Exactly."
He withdrew his Dou Qi and immediately became vigilant.
Sixth-Rank Alchemist, whose strength is still unclear, but whose influence definitely surpasses that of an ordinary Dou Emperor.
Regardless of this person's stance—whether they are helping the Poison Sect or also eyeing that special flame and want to seize it—it's not good news for him.
At this moment, Qian Du felt reassured when he saw Xiao Yan standing in front of him.
"Master Xiao, you've arrived!" Qian Du bowed respectfully.
Xiao Yan nodded casually, pondering how to handle the situation.
The Square fell silent.
The sudden appearance of a Sixth-Rank Alchemist can undoubtedly influence the course of this matter.
It's possible that this matter concerning the Poison Sect will simply be dropped.
Just then, a slightly excited voice rang out from the crowd of the Anti-Poison Sect Alliance.
"You, you are Master Yan Xiao?!"
A figure emerged from the crowd, approached Xiao Yan a few meters away, and bowed respectfully.
Xiao Yan looked at the man, glanced at his face a few times, and said with a faint smile, "Yan Li?"
Yan Li was surprised that Xiao Yan recognized him and replied with great honor, "It's me. I never expected that you would recognize me, sir. I am truly honored."
Yan Li has quite a reputation. He is the vice president of the Chu Yun Empire Alchemist Guild and a strong contender for the future president of the Alchemist Guild. He is a prominent figure in the Chu Yun Empire.
Yet this very being was now bowing and scraping like a dog, showing no shame whatsoever in being so respectful to a Sixth-Rank Alchemist who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere?
Many people have doubts.
At this moment, someone in the crowd exclaimed in shock, "Master Yan Xiao? The Master Yan Xiao who publicly refined Tier 7 Medicinal Pill at the Alchemist Conference of the Jia Ma Empire a few months ago?!"
"A Tier 7 Medicinal Pill? This is a Seventh-Rank Alchemist?!"
"I remember now, I've heard of Master Yan Xiao. His Ice-Fire Energy Gathering Pill can even raise Dou Zong's cultivation by One-Star!"
"That mask... that's right, it's said that Master Yan Xiao wears a mask all the time!"
A chorus of agreement arose, confirming to everyone one thing: this being who had suddenly appeared in the Square, though dressed in the robes of Sixth-Rank Alchemist, was in fact a Seventh Tier alchemy master!
A figure of terrifying influence, whose influence even Dou Zong experts acknowledge is three-tenths inferior to him!
Soon, the Square fell silent again.
Everyone understands one fact.
When this Seventh-Rank Alchemist spoke from the perspective of the Poison Sect, their so-called Anti-Poison Sect Alliance became completely useless.
The leader of the Dou Emperor faction was nothing compared to a Seventh-Rank Alchemist.
Slowly, someone started to move, retreating gently to protect the Green Mist Dou Emperor in front of them.
Someone concealed their presence and silently lowered their body.
Some people looked regretful, wishing they hadn't participated in this operation.
Some people looked at Xiao Yan with fawning eyes.
"Master Yan Xiao, I knew from the beginning that this so-called Anti-Poison Sect Alliance was going to target your friend, so I infiltrated the area, ready to do something at a crucial moment. But now that you're here, I don't need to intervene." Yan Li said with a humble smile.
Xiao Yan glanced at him, too lazy to even confirm whether what he said was true or false.
"Master Yan Xiao, this is a misunderstanding. The so-called Anti-Poison Sect Alliance is just a rumor circulating outside, people just repeating what they hear."
"I brought my men here only to offer my condolences to the Poison Sect Master, but I never expected it to cause such a huge misunderstanding." Green Mist's expression changed, and she spoke with a forced smile.
Xiao Yan ignored him, his eyes cold.
Green Mist knew she wasn't so easily fooled, so she said, "Master Yan Xiao, I'm telling the truth. I even brought quite a few treasures with me to express my gratitude to the Poison Sect Master."
Xiao Yan became somewhat interested, realizing that the subtext of his words was that he wanted to pay money to avoid trouble.
He didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "What kind of treasures are there?"
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Green Mist thought there was something to talk about and immediately started taking out treasures from her Storage Ring.
He had no affiliation with any sect or faction, and all his collection was stored in his Storage Ring.
He took out the most precious Medicinal Herbs from his Storage Ring, feeling a little heartbroken.
Xiao Yan remained unmoved.
Green Mist gritted her teeth and took out several more good items from her Storage Ring: several scrolls of Xuan Rank Dou Skill, a scroll of medicine prescriptions, and a scroll of Xuan Rank Cultivation Technique. It could be said that she had emptied her coffers.
Xiao Yan remained silent for two seconds, not wanting to take on this junk.
However, after thinking about it, he still reached out and accepted these things. Although he didn't need them, it would be good to keep them to enrich the foundation of the Poison Sect.
Seeing that Xiao Yan accepted her gifts, Green Mist felt a pang of heartache, but also a sense of relief.
Regardless of anything else, at least my life was saved.
If you really make an enemy of a Seventh-Rank Alchemist, you don't even need that Seventh-Rank Alchemist to say anything; there will be plenty of people willing to curry favor with that Alchemist and find ways to kill him.
"Master Yan Xiao, now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, I shall take my leave," Green Mist said cautiously.
Xiao Yan shook his head.
Green Mist was taken aback and asked, "Are you still not satisfied?"
Xiao Yan didn't look at him, his voice echoing across the Square: "I'm not a man of indiscriminate killing. Even if someone is an enemy, as long as they don't go too far, I won't take their life."
"Unless he intends to harm someone close to me, then even if it's just a thought in his mind... he has no reason to live."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan reached out and, with a speed that the Green Mist could not react to, directly grabbed his neck and lifted him into the air.
"I'm giving you a chance to say your last words. You only have one sentence," Xiao Yan said calmly.
Green Mist's eyes widened, his legs dangling wildly below. The fear of death gripped his heart, and he had no other thoughts but the most basic instinct: to survive!
"No... no! It wasn't me, someone ordered me to do it!" Green Mist struggled.
Xiao Yan slightly reduced his strength, his eyes narrowing. "Speak, who is it!"
Green Mist, no longer caring about the consequences, blurted out, "It's the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect. The Xie Shan Master commissioned me to probe the Poison Sect Master's background and get that special flame!"
"The Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect." Xiao Yan calmly repeated these three words, recalling this power.
This is the opposing force to the Poison Sect in the original work. Its status in the Chu Yun Empire is similar to that of the Misty Cloud Sect in the Jia Ma Empire, but it is a much larger sect with greater strength.
This is because their Supreme Elder Xie Bi Yan, is a Dou Zong) and most likely the one with the highest cultivation level among the surrounding countries.
"Thank you for informing me. You can die now." Xiao Yan didn't give Green Mist a chance to say another word, and snapped Green Mist's neck with a twist of his wrist.
Boom!
Flames erupted from his palm, incinerating the Green Mist's corpse completely.
The crowd in the Square all took a step back, not expecting Xiao Yan to be so decisive and ruthless, showing no respect whatsoever even upon hearing the name of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect.
After all, they were the overlords of the Chu Yun Empire, and their Supreme Elder Xie Bi Yan, was a veteran Dou Zong. They might not necessarily be afraid of this Seventh-Rank Alchemist.
Despite the varied gazes around him, Xiao Yan's tone remained unchanged. "Those who leave here today, please convey a message to the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect: within a month, Xie Shan must come to the Poison Sect to face his death. Otherwise, the entire Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect will be executed."
Leave no one alive!
