The Older Generation's Decisiveness, Setting Out for the Snake-People Tribe

Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect.

After the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect asked the Supreme Elder, Xie Bi Yan, who was seated, "Supreme Elder, we failed to find the Poison Sect Master and the Seventh-Rank Alchemist when we attacked the Poison Sect. Why did you suddenly behead the Xie Shan Master there?"

Xie Bi Yan sat in the main seat, coldly glancing at the elder. Seemingly annoyed, he simply spoke up, "Do you think this is what our sect wants?"

"Don't you realize the consequences if we attack the Poison Sect and fail to find these two?"

"What's the point of slaughtering the Poison Sect? If we can't kill the Poison Sect Master and Yan Xiao, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect will be the only one to be wiped out once they return."

"Even setting aside the future, if a Seventh-Rank Alchemist goes into hiding and uses his influence to rally Dou Zong to attack the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, besides our sect, who among you can survive?"

"Under those circumstances, killing Xie Shan would at least save our Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect!"

The elder of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect opened his mouth slightly, as if suddenly realizing something.

So, their own Supreme Elder had planned out all possible escape routes from the very beginning?

If we can eliminate the Poison Sect Master and Yan Xiao during the attack on the Poison Sect, that would be ideal.

But if he is stopped or encounters other unforeseen circumstances, would killing Xie Shan on the spot be considered fulfilling Yan Xiao's request?

Is this the Supreme Elder? His thoughts are truly profound.

The main hall of the Poison Sect.

Xiao Yan smiled, suddenly understood Xie Bi Yan's logic, and then explained it to Xiao Yi Xian.

Xiao Yi Xian was greatly shocked after hearing this. "Is that so?"

Xiao Yan said with some approval, "Most of these older generation powerhouses believe that might makes right, but they are also unlikely to be fools."

He made the best choice, only losing a peak Dou Emperor.

If he hesitates, all that awaits him is the destruction of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect."

Xiao Yan silently added in his mind, "Except for that old idiot Mo Cheng."

Xiao Yi Xian nodded, not troubled at all. "Then what should we do next? Should we still target the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect?"

Xiao Yan shook his head. "Since he is so decisive and knows how to be pragmatic, then we don't need to waste our time on him."

"The Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect is nothing to worry about, especially since you weren't planning to the Poison Sect, were you?"

A hint of disappointment appeared in Xiao Yi Xian's eyes. "I didn't expect Bai Shi to betray me. Building up my power was too much trouble. I don't want to be betrayed again."

The Poison Sect has lost many members in the past few months. Now, the entire sect probably has fewer than a hundred people left. They can't even help me find the Heavenly Flames."

Xiao Yi Xian's eyes softened for a moment. "Besides, I'm going to leave with you eventually anyway. This Poison Sect will only be a burden in the future, so it's better to disband it as soon as possible."

Xiao Yan chose to respect Xiao Yi Xian's opinion. "Just do it your way."

Xiao Yi Xian nodded and asked, "Then when do you plan to help me control my Woeful Poison Body and remove the Poison Fire from my body?"

"Will it start in the next few days?"

After a moment's thought, Xiao Yan shook his head. "Helping you control your Woeful Poison Body is not something that can be accomplished in a short time. We are unfamiliar with this place in the Chu Yun Empire, and we are both engrossed in our cultivation. It's not safe to rely solely on our teacher for protection."

"Once you disband the Poison Sect, we'll go to the Snake-People Tribe. Queen Medusa is now Five-Star Dou Zong, capable of fighting even Peak Dou Zong in actual combat. It'll be much safer there."

Xiao Yi Xian repeated, "The Snake-People Tribe..."

She looked up, her tone strange. "Xiao Yan, do you really want to see Queen Medusa?"

Xiao Yan opened his mouth, but before he could utter a sound, Xiao Yi Xian quickly continued speaking to herself:

"I really want to see her, after all... she's the woman who took your virginity."

Xiao Yan's forehead was covered in sweat.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi Xian chuckled twice, not putting too much pressure on Xiao Yan, and summoned Qian Du.

When Qian Du arrived at the main hall, Xiao Yi Xian instructed him to disband the Poison Sect.

Qian Du was instantly dumbfounded. "Sect Master, with Master Xiao's help and your cultivation advancing further, why do you suddenly want to disband the sect?"

Xiao Yi Xian had a good impression of Qian Du, her subordinate who remained loyal even in this critical moment, and patiently explained, "I came to the Chu Yun Empire to improve myself and, incidentally, to search for Heavenly Flames."

"Now that the flame has been found, there is not much room for my cultivation to grow in this Chu Yun Empire."

The Poison Sect no longer has any reason to exist.

"Go and distribute the sect's resources to the disciples and elders who are still in the Poison Sect Poison Sect, and tell them to leave. You can take more of those resources; I won't take them with me."

Without the slightest hesitation, Qian Du quickly shook his head. "No, Sect Master!"

Xiao Yi Xian frowned. "Do you think it's not enough?"

Qian Du shook his head even more violently this time. "Sect Master, I don't need resources, I just want to follow you!"

"When I first met you, I had just broken through to the Dou Ling and was being chased. You saved me and later provided me with resources to break through to the Dou Wang."

"I am your man, please allow me to follow you!"

Xiao Yi Xian was somewhat moved and looked at Xiao Yan.

She planned to leave with Xiao Yan Xiao Yan, going wherever he went, so her agreement was useless; Xiao Yan's agreement was also necessary.

Xiao Yan, who was watching the show, smiled and said, "Take him with you. It's not a bad thing to have such a loyal person following you. It will be better than having to do everything yourself in the future."

Xiao Yi Xian said to Qian Du, "Then you will follow me from now on."

Qian Du was overjoyed and knelt on one knee to pay his respects. "Thank you, Sect Master, thank you, Master Xiao!"

"I'll go and disband the sect right now!"

Qian Du swiftly departed to carry out his orders.

Xiao Yan stroked his chin, thinking to himself, "Efficient and loyal, he's a useful talent. In the future, when we go to the Black-Corner Region to trade resources, we'll definitely need some manpower. Keeping Qian Du around was definitely the right decision."

Time flies.

In just over a day, Qian Du disbanded the entire Poison Sect and distributed its resources.

At the same time, Qian Du also arranged for Flying Boat to go to the Tagor Desert.

Before leaving, Xiao Yi Xian put the little wooden house into her Storage Ring, showing a touch of nostalgia.

On the deck of the Flying Boat bound for the Tagor Desert.

A cool breeze blows from above the clouds.

Xiao Yan said to Xiao Yi Xian, "Let's go to Stone Desert City on the edge of the Jia Ma Empire first. My two older brothers are there. Let's go see them first."

Xiao Yi Xian maintained her smile, "I have no objection."

Xiao Yan touched his nose and said, "Then why don't I just help you control the Woeful Poison Body right there? My two older brothers are absolutely trustworthy."

Xiao Yi Xian's expression was inscrutable. "Xiao Yan, do you really not want me to meet Queen Medusa?"

Xiao Yan, his intentions exposed, immediately retorted, "That's not true. I was just making a suggestion casually. If you don't want to, going to the Snake-People Tribe is fine too."

Xiao Yi Xian smiled and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."

She added in her mind, "I just want Queen Medusa to experience what it feels like to have the man she likes spar with other women."

Having absorbed the Poison Fire, Xiao Yan... is he ready now?

Xiao Yan, unaware of Xiao Yi Xian's thoughts, gazed into the distance and sighed inwardly, "I hope so."

He thought of Xiao Xun'er, who was far away at the Jia Nan Academy, and his heart grew increasingly sorrowful.

My female companions are all so difficult to deal with!

Moreover, in order to get rid of the troublesome Ancient Jade as soon as possible and in exchange for some resources, he couldn't possibly delay going to the Jia Nan Academy.

This is a real headache!
