As the graceful and lithe figure in white appeared, the lazy smile on Qing Hai’s face vanished abruptly. He swiftly retracted his palm, and with a tremor, he escaped the congealed space around him, retreating rapidly. “Who are you? How dare you interfere in the affairs of my Soul Sect!” As he retreated, a furious shout erupted from Qing Hai’s mouth. Under the gaze of countless eyes, the distorted space gradually smoothed out, revealing the elegant figure in white. The woman was dressed in a simple white robe, exuding an ethereal air. Her long, snow-white hair cascaded down to her slender waist, fluttering gently in the breeze, enchanting and mesmerizing. Due to her position, many couldn’t see her face clearly, but from her lithe and delicate figure, it was evident that she was a rare beauty. This image was not unfamiliar to Xiao Yan. Other than Little Healer Immortal, who else could it be? “Did you succeed?” Looking at the Little Healer Immortal who had appeared in the nick of time, Xiao Yan was taken aback before he exclaimed in joy. The Little Healer Immortal turned her head, revealing her beautiful face. She gazed at Xiao Yan with her lovely eyes, nodded slightly, and was about to give a charming smile when she suddenly noticed the bloodstains on the corner of Xiao Yan’s mouth. The charm in her smile instantly turned cold as she asked softly, “Did he hurt you?” “Rest assured, anyone who can injure me like this is ten times worse off.” Xiao Yan smiled, and as he carefully examined the Little Healer Immortal, he found that he could no longer perceive her true strength. At this moment, the Little Healer Immortal seemed like a bottomless abyss, unfathomable and mysterious. “Your strength? Have you reached the Dou Zun level?” In Xiao Yan’s voice, there was undeniable joy. The Little Healer Immortal nodded with a light laugh. She felt incredibly good. The Plague Toxin Body that had plagued her for years was finally under her control after the Poison Pill condensed in her body. From now on, she wouldn’t worry about unintentionally causing harm or death due to the eruption of the toxin. The Plague Toxin Body would no longer be a double-edged sword but a lethal weapon that only she could control! “Are you also in cahoots with Xiao Yan?” Seeing the Little Healer Immortal chatting merrily with Xiao Yan, Qing Hai’s expression darkened as he roared. Hearing Qing Hai’s shout, the Little Healer Immortal slowly turned her head, glanced at him, and nodded nonchalantly. “This matter is between the Soul Sect and Xiao Yan. If you wish to get involved, think twice. Don’t offend a force you can’t afford to offend just for a temporary gain!” Upon seeing this, a glint of anger flashed in Qing Hai’s eyes. Judging from the previous display of space congealment, the opponent’s strength might be slightly higher than his, though he wasn’t sure if it was at the Three-Star Dou Zun level. “How does this brat have so many strong helpers by his side? Two Dou Zhuns, even our Soul Sect cannot ignore them easily.” Glancing at Xiao Yan behind the Little Healer Immortal, Qing Hai was perplexed. He found it hard to imagine how someone from the remote edge of the continent could have two Dou Zun-level protectors. “I’ve never heard of your Soul Sect. Even if I have, it’s not more important than a single hair on his head.” The Little Healer Immortal responded with a chuckle, ignoring Qing Hai’s threat. Xiao Yan sighed inwardly. It seemed like the old man Qing Hai was about to lose his temper. That comment was a bit too harsh. Sure enough, the instant the Little Healer Immortal finished speaking, Qing Hai’s face turned completely gloomy. The withered hands of an eagle claw glowed with a faint blue light. After a moment, he said coldly, “Since that’s the case, let me test whether you are qualified to speak such words!”
“Can Dai, take some men and capture that brat. You deal with this one!” Can Dai and the nine Soul Sect experts hovering in the distance immediately responded, dispersing to surround Xiao Yan. These nine people were all formidable, though not as strong as Tian She. Can Dai, the leader, was a Seven-Star Battle Sect, while the others, though slightly weaker, were still not to be underestimated. If Xiao Yan were in his prime, he could still contend with them, but in his current state, it would be difficult.
The Little Healer Immortal glanced around, and a gray mist spewed from her small, delicate mouth, rapidly expanding and enveloping Xiao Yan, shielding him from view. The gray mist, though not dense, was visible, and though outsiders could see Xiao Yan, none dared to approach. Anyone with a discerning eye could sense the terrifying poison contained within the mist.
Can Dai and the others exchanged glances, sensing danger in the mist.
“You…” Can Dai’s eyes darkened, and he turned to one of his companions, pointing and saying firmly. The man in black robes hesitated, but under Can Dai’s cold gaze, he gritted his teeth, summoned his Dou Qi, and cautiously approached the gray mist.
As the black-robed man’s Dou Qi met the gray mist, a sizzling sound erupted, and his face turned a shade of gray. Sensing the change, he hastily retreated and sat cross-legged, using his energy to expel the poison.
Seeing this, Can Dai and the others’ expressions changed, and fear crept into their eyes as they looked at the gray mist. Seeing them at a loss, the Little Healer Immortal smiled faintly, turning her gaze to Qing Hai. Her beautiful eyes glinted with a hint of coldness. This old man actually intended to capture Xiao Yan, something she could not tolerate!
“I’ve been meaning to test the strength of a Dou Zun. Today, I’ll start with you.” The Little Healer Immortal smiled sweetly, her jade hand clenching and the gray aura swirling around her slender fingers, causing the surrounding space to ripple.
Qing Hai’s face tightened, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. In a flash, he appeared in front of the Little Healer Immortal, his withered hand forming an eagle claw with intense spatial fluctuations, reaching for her slender neck.
The Little Healer Immortal sidestepped gracefully, easily avoiding Qing Hai’s attack. The gray aura around her hand surged, and her slender fingers pointed at him, striking him with blinding speed.
Facing the gray aura, Qing Hai’s expression changed, and he felt a chill as the gas approached.
*Bang!*
A blue glow flared on Qing Hai’s fist, and with a spatial ripple, he struck the Little Healer Immortal’s hand. Their collision tore open a rift in the space, and though the Little Healer Immortal’s body trembled, Qing Hai staggered back several steps to regain his balance.
Stabilizing himself, Qing Hai’s face paled. His vast Dou Qi surged, gathering in his palm, and he expelled three streams of blood tinged with a stench. “What kind of poison does this woman wield? So terrifying?” He was shocked by the poison, which was the most toxic he had encountered in years.
After repelling Qing Hai, the Little Healer Immortal did not pursue him. She moved to stand beside Xiao Yan, and with a wave of her hand, the poisonous fog dissipated. The space next to her rippled, and the Heavenly Fire Venerable appeared.
“Heavenly Fire Venerable has come. Xiao Yan is injured, we don’t have the numbers to stay and fight. We must leave now!” The Heavenly Fire Venerable said gravely.
The Little Healer Immortal nodded, agreeing it was best not to linger here. “I will break the ice barrier. Take Xiao Yan and go.”
Without waiting for a reply, the Heavenly Fire Venerable flashed under the ice fog and punched it forcefully.
*Bang!*
The punch caused the ice barrier to ripple violently, and the dense fog thinned.
“Heavenly Ice Venerable, act now! Don’t let them escape!” Seeing this, Tian Shuang Zi understood Xiao Yan’s intentions and his face turned grim. He led a large force from the Ice River Valley, and if they allowed Xiao Yan to escape, they would have no face left. Without needing Tian Shuang Zi’s instruction, Qing Hai understood what to do. Both transformed into beams of light, surging with mighty spatial power towards the Heavenly Fire Venerable.
*Swish!*
Just as they moved, the Little Healer Immortal emerged below, her jade hand waving to release a cloud of gray poison. Out of fear, Tian Shuang Zi and Qing Hai halted their advance.
Seizing the moment, the Heavenly Fire Venerable punched the ice barrier again, and finally, a path opened up. Overjoyed, he grabbed Xiao Yan and called out, “Go!”
With a shout, the Heavenly Fire Venerable grabbed Xiao Yan and darted toward the opening. But as they were about to enter, the space around the ice passage distorted, releasing powerful spatial ripples.
“Didn’t expect the Plague Toxin Body could be controlled. Sigh, I underestimated…” A sigh echoed from the distorted space. A frosty throne appeared, and a white-robed figure stood up… The world filled with an icy cold!
