A Chance Encounter

"Yanran, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere? Let me see!"

"Ah, wait, I'm fine, no! Xiao Yan, where are you touching!"

"Slap"

When Xiao Yan rushed over in a panic and started groping Nalan Yanran, she finally blushed and slapped his mischievous hand away.

Although she no longer objects to some intimate gestures with Xiao Yan in public, it absolutely does not include groping him!

After a while, the two of them relieved their longing for each other through some playful fighting.

"Yanran, what exactly happened just now? Who was that person you used the Formation Disk against?"

Finally, Xiao Yan got down to business and returned to the main topic.

"How dare you ask me that?"

When Xiao Yan asked, Nalan Yanran gave him a beautiful eye roll.

This left Xiao Yan completely baffled.

Seeing Xiao Yan staring at her with bewildered eyes, Nalan Yanran then recounted everything about Xiao Yi Xian in detail.

From the moment I entered the Xiao Household and discovered I was being spied on, to the moment I left the Xiao Household and the other party deliberately revealed a flaw so that I could discover it, and finally to the current great battle between the two sides.

She first feigned weakness to extract information, and then tried to use Formation Disk to forcibly detain the enemy, but failed.

After listening to Nalan Yanran's story, Xiao Yan was both glad that she had such a trump card as the Formation Disk, which could block the enemy, and frowned at the origin of the unknown enemy.

"Yanran, are you saying that the other party originally came for me, but only wanted to use you as bait, is that right?"

"That's right, this is the information I obtained!"

At this moment, the two began to analyze Xiao Yi Xian's purpose.

However, neither of them could have imagined that Xiao Yi Xian only wanted to take a look at Xiao Yan and, incidentally, confirm the relationship between Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan.

"A white-haired woman, a poison master, and she controls the Netherworld Poison Flame! I don't remember ever offending someone like that. Besides, does the Cloud Empire even have anyone like that?"

After racking his brains for a long time, Xiao Yan still had no clue.

According to Nalan Yanran's description, if he could even think of Xiao Yi Xian, he would truly have a god-like perspective!

"If you really have no clue, let's go back first, and another day we can have our grandmaster mobilize the power of the Misty Cloud Sect to investigate that old woman's intelligence within the Cloud Empire!"

Seeing that Xiao Yan's expression seemed genuine, Nalan Yanran spoke up after a moment of contemplation.

The Jia Ma Empire and the Cloud Empire were old rivals, and naturally, they each had their own methods for gathering intelligence on the other.

As the most powerful force in the Jia Ma Empire on the surface, the Misty Cloud Sect was even more likely to be unaware of this.

"Alright, let's do it that way! We'll visit our grandmaster again another day!"

"Um"

After discussing it, the two decided to return to the Xiao Household first.

"By the way, Yanran, why did you call that person an old woman?"

"Of course, she's covered herself up so thoroughly, and with that head of white hair, what else could she be but an old woman?"

"That seems to make sense."

"That makes perfect sense!"

"Haha, my Yanran is definitely the smartest!"

"That's right! Huh? When did I become part of your family?"

"Isn't that inevitable sooner or later?"

"That's fine too..."

The two chatted all the way back to the Xiao Household.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Xiao Yi Xian, with unknown feelings, left the vicinity of Wutan City and quickly flew towards the border of the Jia Ma Empire!

Clearly, she was preparing to leave the Jia Ma Empire.

However, judging from the direction it's heading, it doesn't seem to be heading back to the Cloud Empire...

That is indeed the case.

Xiao Yi Xian currently has no specific goal!

Perhaps even she herself didn't know where she was going next?

All she had in mind right now was that she didn't want Xiao Yan to see her current appearance!

Despite being a young girl in the prime of her life, she had a full head of white hair. Xiao Yi Xian thought she would definitely scare Xiao Yan.

That's right. In fact, the reason why Xiao Yi Xian only wanted to take one look at Xiao Yan and then leave far away was because she didn't want Xiao Yan to see her current appearance.

Xiao Yi Xian, she feels inferior!

Since parting ways with Xiao Yan in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, she went to the Cloud Empire and indeed made great progress in her strength.

Later, they actually found and refined the Netherworld Poison Flame in an ancient abyss swamp!

From this point on, Xiao Yi Xian's strength increased uncontrollably.

However, as her strength increased, one day her hair turned white.

She tried many methods, but none of them could make her hair turn back.

Although Xiao Lin had told Xiao Yi Xian that Xiao Yan could solve the problems caused by the Woeful Poison Body.

But she didn't know if her hair could ever turn back!

If it were someone else, they might not have thought so much like Xiao Yi Xian; they would just try it first and see.

But what can you do when she's called Xiao Yi Xian?

He was proud, but also felt inferior.

When both of these personality traits are present in one person, she will not choose to try; she will only choose to escape.

Just like right now.

Otherwise, why would she wrap herself up so tightly?

It's worth noting that in the Original Work, Xiao Yi Xian also chose to escape.

If Xiao Yan hadn't happened to meet her later, given Xiao Yi Xian 'Xiao Yan personality, she probably would have avoided him for the rest of her life!

Therefore, if we want Xiao Yi Xian to change, Xiao Yan has to take the initiative to find her next.

And so, Xiao Yi Xian began her aimless wanderings across the Northwest Continent.

Occasionally she would stop to look at the pedestrians and the scenery, but most of the time she avoided people.

Unbeknownst to her, the bottleneck in her Nine-Star Dou Zong had begun to loosen.

Just like Xiao Lin, after he possessed the Three Thousand Burning Flames, it was as if he was cultivating even without cultivating. If he actively cultivated, his cultivation speed would double!

The Xiao Yi Xian, who possesses the Netherworld Poison Flame, is naturally the same.

This is also why her strength far surpasses that of her contemporaries in the Original Work!

While possessing the Netherworld Poison Flame doesn't completely cure the side effects of the Woeful Poison Body, the onset of these side effects has been significantly delayed.

At the very least, before reaching the Dou Sheng, Xiao Yi Xian shouldn't need to consider this issue.

The breakthrough went smoothly without any unexpected events.

However, Xiao Yi Xian is, after all, a person with Woeful Poison Body.

She made a breakthrough herself, but sometimes it was the surrounding environment that suffered.

Sure enough, she completed her breakthrough in a wild forest, but the Poison Dou Qi spread out, causing the surrounding plants and animals to wither and die.

Although Xiao Yi Xian felt somewhat guilty about this, there was nothing she could do to stop it.

I'm sorry...

After a murmur, Xiao Yi Xian was about to leave.

However, an unexpected event occurred at this moment.

"Sister Baili, over here, over here! I've found the source of the anomaly!"

A clear, melodious female voice reached Xiao Yi Xian's ears at that moment.

This immediately put her on alert.

After all, this is where she just broke through to the Dou Venerable!

How could an ordinary person possibly get close to them so easily?

When Xiao Yi Xian turned her gaze toward the direction from which the sound came, she saw a girl dressed in a light green, elegant outfit. Although petite, she appeared to be quite mature.

The girl had beautiful long green hair and an oval face, looking like a porcelain doll.

However, Xiao Yi Xian dared not underestimate her opponent in the slightest!

Because the aura emanating from the other party was in no way inferior to his own after his breakthrough!

In other words, the other party is also a Dou Zun expert!

Xiao Yi Xian was somewhat bewildered when she encountered Dou Venerable in the wilderness.

Of course, if Xiao Lin were here right now, he would definitely recognize the girl in front of him.

Isn't this Qing Lin, the one he brought to the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace in Central Plains, and who was later taken out for training by the Third Elder Baili Qing?

However, it was unexpected that Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian would meet in such a small place.

In that case, the "Sister Baili" that Qing Lin mentioned must be Baili Qing, the Third Elder of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace!
