Upon hearing the time that Little Healer Immortal had uttered, Xiao Yan couldn’t help but feel a bit vexed. Where could he find a Dou Zun rank expert to break this demonic poison mark in half a year? “But you don’t have to worry too much about it. Although I can’t break the demonic poison mark, I do have a way to significantly delay its outbreak,” Little Healer Immortal mused, a tinge of guilt in her tone. If she hadn’t invited Xiao Yan, this trouble would not have happened. Moreover, now that the problem was here, she couldn’t help to solve it. Hearing this, Xiao Yan let out a slight sigh of relief. Turning his head to look at the still tense and gritting-silver-teeth Medusa, he couldn’t help but smile faintly. “Don’t worry, everything will be fine. Maybe this demonic poison mark might even help me improve my strength.”
To such words, which Xiao Yan himself found lacking foundation, Medusa naturally wouldn’t take them to heart. Yet, at this moment, she had no means to address the situation and could only turn her gaze, giving Little Healer Immortal a cold glare. In her mind, if the latter could have solved the issue with Se Biyan in the gray-purple space cage, then these subsequent troubles would not have arisen. In response to Medusa’s icy gaze, Little Healer Immortal did not retort. The fact remained that Xiao Yan’s poisoning was indeed closely related to her actions.
“Alright, let’s first deal with the matters here, and then we’ll think of a way to handle the demonic poison mark…” Xiao Yan inserted himself between the two women, fearing they would start fighting again and hurriedly smiled.
“Okay.” Little Healer Immortal nodded slightly, then her figure moved, flying down from the sky. With the Myriad Scorpion Sect’s elite forces being decimated, the sect naturally had no resistance left. Being annexed by the Poison Sect was just a matter of time.
Looking at Little Healer Immortal’s departing figure, Xiao Yan turned to Medusa, saying, “This isn’t her fault. I came here for the Soul Temple members. None of us anticipated this happening.”
Seeing the serious expression on Xiao Yan’s face, Medusa sighed and nodded slightly. Then, she softly asked, “You don’t feel any discomfort now, right?”
Xiao Yan sensed within his body and frowned, “It seems as long as it doesn’t erupt, there are no problems. But if it does, it might be fatal as Little Healer Immortal said.”
“What are you planning to do then?” Medusa asked again. Dou Zun rank experts weren’t easy to find. Furthermore, even if one were found, why would they bother to help solve the demonic poison mark? Judging from how insidious this poison looked, it would take a significant effort to neutralize it.
“We’ll deal with it when the time comes. Let’s first handle the matters here,” Xiao Yan replied with a hint of helplessness.
Seeing this, Medusa sighed again, her eyes looking toward the direction of the Myriad Scorpion Mountain Gate, a flash of killing intent in her eyes.
After clearing out the remaining stubborn remnants of the Myriad Scorpion Sect, this force would be entirely eradicated from the Yunn Empire. From then on, the Poison Sect could truly say it dominated the Yunn Empire, with no other force daring to compete with it.
After dealing with the aftermath of the battle, Little Healer Immortal took Xiao Yan and the others, leaving the Scorpio Mountains and heading swiftly toward the City of Poisons, the headquarters of the Poison Sect.
The headquarters of the Poison Sect, situated in the center of the City of Poisons, was naturally heavily guarded. Even a Battle Emperor rank expert would not be able to sneak in without being detected. This had been repeatedly confirmed over the years.
Deep within the Poison Sect’s headquarters lay a stone mountain covered in lush greenery. This forbidden area was usually only accessible to Little Healer Immortal. The area around the stone mountain was filled with countless hidden sentries. To enter the stone mountain, even a fly would need to pass through layers of scrutiny.
Inside the stone mountain, strange rocks were abundant, and various types of poisonous plants were planted. A faint stench permeated the air, eventually forming a thin layer of toxic mist. Even a Dou Wang rank expert would not dare to inhale this highly toxic haze.
Occasionally, some poisonous insects and snakes would dart through the rocky terrain. These creatures, rare and precious outside, were commonplace here, showcasing the abundance of the Poison Sect’s collection, a reputation well-earned.
At the center of the stone forest, a small pool paved with black stones was set up. Around the pool, four venomous snake heads were placed, their gaping mouths spewing a continuous stream of inky liquid, which dripped into the pool.
Inside the pool, pitch-black water swirled. The darkness was so complete that one could not see to the bottom, and even soul energy would be repelled upon contact. A faint mist lingered above the pool, tinged with a hint of a foul odor, clearly another toxic substance.
Around the stone pool, three figures stood, their gazes fixed on the naked young man submerged in the toxic water.
“Will this pool of toxic water harm Xiao Yan?” Medusa carefully asked, her eyes fixed on the pitch-black water.
“This pool of toxic water is a concoction made from over a hundred types of poisonous herbs and insects. The combination of their varied toxins actually makes the energy within extremely potent,” Little Healer Immortal squatted down, her delicate hand gently stirring the toxic water, which would corrode most people’s hands. She continued, “However, toxic water is still toxic water, and the poison within is highly virulent. But this is exactly what Xiao Yan needs. His demonic poison mark, caused by a sinister toxin, can be suppressed temporarily by the poison in this pool, thus delaying its eruption.”
Hearing this, Medusa glanced at Xiao Yan, who seemed unharmed with his eyes closed, and let out a sigh of relief.
Little Healer Immortal walked slowly to the other side of the pool, her eyes gazing at the black patch on Xiao Yan’s chest. Brownish-purple spots had appeared around the patch, effectively slowing its expansion.
Seeing this, Little Healer Immortal let out a breath of relief. Her gaze then shifted to the top of Xiao Yan’s head, where a light white mist was rising, and she felt the searing heat emanating from him. “It’s better than I expected. The presence of a Heavenly Flame within Xiao Yan, although unable to break the demonic poison mark, can still provide some resistance. Combined with this pool of toxic water, it should further delay the mark’s eruption.”
Hearing this, Medusa and Zi Yan also relaxed. Medusa pondered, “Is this enough now?”
Little Healer Immortal shook her head. “The toxic water entering Xiao Yan’s body is unconscious. We need to guide it to fully suppress the demonic poison mark.”
“Then what are we waiting for? Get started,” Medusa frowned, seemingly displeased with Little Healer Immortal’s delays.
Hearing this, Little Healer Immortal rolled her eyes, about to retort, but fearing she would wake Xiao Yan, she could only huff. “No need to rush. Guidance takes time. What good does impatience do?”
“Has the time come yet?” Medusa, also wary of disturbing Xiao Yan, though she held a grudge against Little Healer Immortal, refrained from arguing.
Under Medusa’s prodding, Little Healer Immortal reluctantly nodded. Suddenly, she seemed to recall something, a blush appearing on her cheeks, her teeth biting her red lips. “You both go wait outside the stone forest.”
Upon hearing this, both Medusa and Zi Yan gave Little Healer Immortal a suspicious look. Medusa crossed her arms, showing no sign of leaving. “What do you have to hide? I need to ensure Xiao Yan’s safety. Who knows what tricks you might pull?”
“You…,” Little Healer Immortal blushed and clenched her teeth, looking at Xiao Yan in the pool. “Forget it. Stay if you must.”
Standing up, Little Healer Immortal hesitated, then began to undo her blouse, revealing a fair, smooth, and perfectly sculpted naked body. Seeing this, Medusa’s cheeks reddened, and she coughed, nonchalantly turning away, pulling Zi Yan, who was peeking through her fingers, with her.
“Nice, still not as big as mine when I’m grown,” Zi Yan giggled, drawing a quick step from Medusa and a flush of indignation on Little Healer Immortal’s cheeks.
Shaking off her embarrassment, Little Healer Immortal turned back to the dark toxic water, her graceful feet lightly touching it, resembling a mermaid about to enter the sea. Just as she was about to enter, she suddenly felt something, her eyes snapping up to meet the bright, startled gaze from the pool.
Their eyes met, and Little Healer Immortal’s cheeks flushed instantly.
