Xiao Yan and Zi Yan walked slowly through the poisonous mist. Aside from the faint crackling produced by the clash between dou qi and the mist, everything was exceptionally quiet.
Zi Yan glanced around, her brows knitting together. They had already walked for quite some time, and her powerful senses as a magical beast made her feel even more uncomfortable than Xiao Yan did.
Xiao Yan also fell silent in thought. Visibility around them was extremely poor, with his sight extending no more than three to five meters. Although he had used the Soul-Turning Secret Technique in advance, his soul perception was still compressed within a limited range.
This made Xiao Yan feel equally uneasy. As an alchemist, and with a trump card like Yao Lao, soul perception had always been a sharp weapon he relied upon. Now that it was being suppressed, it was no different from having his eyes covered.
Xiao Yan suddenly stopped. He grabbed a handful of soil, rubbing and crushing it repeatedly between his fingers before bringing it beneath his nose for a sniff.

Xiao Yan's expression did not change much upon hearing this. He nodded and said, "That's right. I've sensed it for a long time now. Even Dou Zong-level dou qi cannot stop this poisonous mist from slowly entering the body."
Zi Yan was a genuine Dou Zong expert. Although Xiao Yan himself was only a Dou Emperor, after several fortuitous encounters within the Ten Thousand Beasts Space, he was already comparable to an ordinary Dou Zong expert.
