Just then, the Amethyst Winged Lion King knelt at Xiao Yan's feet with an utterly respectful attitude. Anyone who had not witnessed it firsthand would never have believed the scene before them. After all, this was the overlord of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
At the same time, the Heavenly Snow Demon Ape was dumbstruck. In terms of strength, he was no match for the Amethyst Winged Lion King, yet he had never expected such a powerful magical beast to submit to Xiao Yan.
"Am I seeing things? Amethyst Winged Lion King, you're the overlord of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, and a tier-six magical beast at that. How can you willingly acknowledge a human as your master?"
The Heavenly Snow Demon Ape's face was filled with shock, and even his voice began to tremble.
Yet the Amethyst Winged Lion King paid no attention to those words. To a Tier-Six Magical Beast, a mere Heavenly Snow Demon Ape was worth less than a fart.
Seeing the Amethyst Winged Lion King submit at Xiao Yan's feet, Xiao Yi Xian looked stunned. Xiao Yan, however, remained perfectly calm as he spoke coldly.
"Amethyst Winged Lion King, this vile beast standing before you just offended my friend. You know what to do, don't you?"
As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, the Amethyst Winged Lion King prostrate at his feet nodded respectfully.
"Master, I understand your wishes."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King agreed at once, then turned a fierce, murderous gaze on the Heavenly Snow Demon Ape nearby.
Fear rose in the Heavenly Snow Demon Ape's heart as he suddenly sensed the Amethyst Winged Lion King's killing intent. If they truly fought, he would be no match for him.
"Listen, Amethyst Winged Lion King. We may never have been close, but we're both magical beasts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, no matter how you look at it. How can you kill me for a human?"
As he spoke, the Heavenly Snow Demon Ape hurriedly backed away several steps, clearly filled with terror.
But the Amethyst Winged Lion King ignored his fear. Instead, he advanced on him step by step and then struck.
In that instant, the Amethyst Winged Lion King launched his attack. The Heavenly Snow Demon Ape immediately reacted and tried to defend himself, but the strength of a Tier-Six Magical Beast was indeed formidable, utterly overwhelming his own. He was no match at all. In barely any time, the Heavenly Snow Demon Ape was sent flying and slammed hard into a massive rock, coughing up a mouthful of blood on the spot.
"I was wrong! Amethyst Winged Lion King, spare my life! I didn't mean to offend anyone just now. For the sake of us both being magical beasts, please!"
After coughing up that mouthful of blood, the Heavenly Snow Demon Ape felt terrified. If he did not beg for mercy now, he probably would not live through the day.
Although the Heavenly Snow Demon Ape had begged for mercy, the Amethyst Winged Lion King ignored him entirely and attacked again, seemingly determined to take his life.
The very next instant, the Amethyst Winged Lion King struck again. Before long, the Heavenly Snow Demon Ape was killed outright, his breath extinguished in an instant.
Xiao Yi Xian stood nearby, stunned. She had never expected this Heavenly Snow Demon Ape, whose strength rivaled a Dou Wang, to be killed so swiftly.
I have to admit, the Amethyst Winged Lion King really does live up to his strength as the equivalent of a human Dou Emperor. A magical beast like the Heavenly Snow Demon Ape was swatted dead with a single blow.
The more Xiao Yi Xian thought about it, the more she marveled at Xiao Yan's power, her eyes brimming with shock.
I never imagined Xiao Yan could command such awe. Even the Amethyst Winged Lion King willingly lets him give orders.
Although she knew little about the magical beasts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, the Amethyst Winged Lion King was unquestionably an overlord. Not just in these mountains, but throughout the entire Jia Ma Empire, he was a force no one could afford to underestimate.
Yet such a powerful Dou Emperor-level magical beast willingly served under Xiao Yan. Not only had he acknowledged Xiao Yan as his master, but he also obeyed his every command.
Take what had happened today: if Xiao Yi Xian had not witnessed it firsthand, she would never have believed it.
With that thought, Xiao Yi Xian's attitude toward Xiao Yan underwent an enormous change.
I really wonder what sort of background Xiao Yan has. To nurture someone this powerful, just what kind of genius must his teacher be?
In that brief span of time, Xiao Yi Xian had been filled with astonishment, and she kept looking Xiao Yan over again and again.
Once the Amethyst Winged Lion King had killed the Heavenly Snow Demon Ape, a smile immediately appeared on Xiao Yan's face, and he looked at Xiao Yi Xian standing before him.
"Since that little problem has been dealt with, let's not waste any time. Let's go treasure hunting in the cave."
Only then did Xiao Yi Xian come to her senses. She followed Xiao Yan toward the cave ahead.
After the two entered the cave, they immediately noticed how dim it was inside, with almost no light at all. Before they had walked far, they spotted a rather ancient-looking stone chamber ahead. It seemed to have been there for quite some years.
Soon, the two reached a corner and discovered several large chests. There was no telling how long they had been stored there.
At the sight of these mysterious treasure chests, whatever Xiao Yan's reaction might have been, Xiao Yi Xian was the first to grow excited.
"This should be the place. This is the cave I stumbled across before."
Seeing the chests, Xiao Yi Xian became incredibly excited. She could hardly wait to see what was inside.
Inside this chest, besides various bottles and jars of medicinal pills, there were also some secret manuals and similar items.
Then they began opening the remaining treasure chests. Xiao Yi Xian quickly leafed through their contents, and before long, she found what appeared to be a cultivation manual.
The large characters on it read "Seven-Colored Poison Scripture."
At the sight of this cultivation manual, Xiao Yi Xian was excited and delighted beyond words.
"To think this is actually the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, a cultivation method specifically suited to people with poison-attribute constitutions."
No wonder Xiao Yi Xian was so surprised. She had been born with the woeful poison body, and cultivation methods like this Poison Scripture were ideal for her. Only by continually consuming poison could she grow stronger. She had never expected such a secret treasure to be hidden in this cave.
As Xiao Yi Xian gazed at the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture before her, her excitement was beyond words.
