Battle Through the Heavens: Live Q&a Session - Only I Know the Answers

107: Chapter 106 The Little Fairy Doctor’s PastDeep within the imperial palace of the Izumo Empire, inside a resplendent hall.

”Lady Chen Xianer, please, spare our lives!”

A middle-aged man, along with several young men, let out a trembling ”thud” as they all fell to their knees in unison on the polished, golden floor. Their foreheads pressed against the ground, their bodies shivering uncontrollably, they kowtowed incessantly, begging for mercy from Xiao Yi Xian, who sat high upon the throne.

The man in the lead was none other than the Emperor of the Izumo Empire. Years ago, during a chance excursion, he had accidentally caught sight of Xiao Yi Xian’s beautiful face on the street, and she had instantly captivated him.

Xiao Yi Xian had just stood quietly by the roadside, like a green lotus independent of the world, instantly drawing his entire gaze.

Xiao Yi Xian’s face seemed as if it had been meticulously carved by the heavens, a beauty that could topple kingdoms. Compared to the vulgar, painted women in his harem, the difference was as vast as between the clouds and the mud.

At that moment, greed and desire ignited instantly in his heart. He would never allow such a beautiful woman to remain outside his control, and an evil thought sprouted in the depths of his heart.

Upon returning to the palace, he immediately dispatched three Great Dou Master experts to secretly capture Xiao Yi Xian.

In his view, what kind of ability could a young woman possibly have?

Yet, he never expected that while Xiao Yi Xian appeared weak and young, her Dou Qi cultivation was actually unfathomable.

When they met, in just a single exchange, the three Great Dou Masters were no match for Xiao Yi Xian; they were instantly slaughtered on the street, their blood spattering on the spot.

The Emperor was enraged and humiliated, but he did not stop there. He decided to go all the way, sending more men, dispatching even stronger Dou Ling experts, and issuing a wanted warrant for Xiao Yi Xian throughout the entire empire.

For a time, Xiao Yi Xian was driven to a desperate situation in the Izumo Empire, like a rat crossing the street; everyone attempted to catch her to claim credit and rewards from the Emperor.

Helpless, Xiao Yi Xian could only don a black robe and hide in those remote, small villages, living a life of constant evasion.

However, was Xiao Yi Xian the type of person to yield so easily?

She knew deeply that adversity could temper a person. Such a harsh environment was precisely what could spur her rapid growth. She had only one belief in her heart: to become strong enough. Only then could she follow behind Chen Yang, walk side-by-side with him, and witness the myriad beauties of this world together.

Over these years, she had not slacked off in the slightest; instead, she cultivated even more diligently. In those silent, deserted deep nights, she was alone, constantly consuming poison, and relying on her own special constitution, she transformed the power of the poison for her own use.

Not long after, the Dou Ling experts who came to capture her also died miserably at her hands. When the Emperor heard that even the Dou Ling experts had been defeated, he was furious. He immediately dispatched a Dou Wang expert, leading dozens of high-level Dou Ling, forming a massive capture team, determined to capture Xiao Yi Xian alive.

But he miscalculated once again. Relying on her super-strong immunity to poison, Xiao Yi Xian was like a fish in water among poison masters, cleverly evading capture every time and leaving them returning empty-handed.

As her strength continued to grow, Xiao Yi Xian’s reputation gradually spread across this land. Relying on her unique poison arts, she established the formidable Poison Sect and dominated the region.

Upon learning of this, the Emperor of the Izumo Empire was terrified. He realized that this woman had grown into a major threat to his rule.

If he allowed her to continue developing, sooner or later, his throne and even his life would be at risk.

Therefore, he chose to stake everything on one throw, sparing no cost in manpower and material resources, gathering multiple Dou Wangs and a Dou Huang retainer, and personally leading a large army to aggressively crusade against Xiao Yi Xian.

But fate seemed to always stand on Xiao Yi Xian’s side. Who could have imagined that Xiao Yi Xian, relying on her Calamity Poison Body and Undying Heavenly Art, would display such divine might on the battlefield.

Wherever the poisonous mist spread, enemies fell one after another. None of the invading enemies were spared; they all perished. After this battle, Xiao Yi Xian not only successfully repelled the enemy army, but also, by utilizing the enemy’s poisonous qi and poison, broke through to the Dou Wang realm in one fell swoop, advancing her strength to a higher level.

The Emperor watched helplessly as Xiao Yi Xian’s sect developed vigorously, and the fear in his heart grew stronger. He lived in constant anxiety, fearing that one day Xiao Yi Xian would suddenly storm his doorstep and take his life.

Years flew by, and Xiao Yi Xian did not stop her forward progress. She advanced triumphantly, having long since broken through to the Dou Huang realm. At this moment, the flames of revenge burned fiercely in her heart, and she decided to lead the people of the Poison Sect to overthrow this incompetent and tyrannical Emperor in one go.

However, she never expected that in order to save his throne, the Emperor would spare no cost to invite a Dou Zong expert from the outside world.

When the two sides fought, although Xiao Yi Xian resisted with all her might, the disparity in strength was too great. Unable to defeat her opponent, she could only lead her remaining forces in a pathetic retreat.

After that, the Poison Sect she had worked so hard to build completely collapsed and was destroyed under the fierce attacks of that Dou Zong expert.

But Xiao Yi Xian had a streak of unyielding tenacity in her bones. She did not become disheartened; instead, she began to change her strategy, constantly launching sneak attacks on the members of the Emperor’s alliance alone.

She knew her own advantages well. When those people faced her alone, without exception, they were suppressed by her Calamity Poison Body. Even a Dou Zong expert could not easily take her down for a time.

With Xiao Yi Xian’s successful sneak attacks time after time, her prestige became increasingly intimidating. Those who had once allied with the Emperor began to waver. They had witnessed Xiao Yi Xian’s strength, and the fear in their hearts gradually overcame their loyalty to the Emperor.

They all chose to submit to Xiao Yi Xian. Now, Xiao Yi Xian was already a seven-star Dou Zong. Within the Izumo Empire, those Dou Zongs who did not submit to her had almost all been slaughtered by her completely; no one dared to contend with her.

”Heh, you dog of an Emperor, since the moment you ordered my capture, did you ever think there would be a day like today?”

Xiao Yi Xian sat quietly on the throne, her snow-white hair drifting gently in the breeze. She lowered her head slightly, looking coldly at the trembling Emperor kneeling on the ground, a sneer of disdain curling at the corner of her lips. That laughter seemed to be the best mockery of the Emperor’s many years.

Over these years, in pursuit of strength, Xiao Yi Xian had constantly consumed poison. Although she had relied on her tenacious willpower to refine and absorb the vast majority of the poison, some residual toxins had eroded her body, causing all of her hair to turn white. This was the reason for her white hair.

”Lady Chen Xianer, please forgive my willfulness from back then! I am willing to be your dog. From now on, I will follow your every command. I can even offer the entire Izumo Empire to you on a silver platter. I only ask that you, in your greatness, do not hold a grudge against a small person like me, and spare my life.”

The Izumo Emperor lay on the ground, his body shaking like a sieve, his voice filled with endless fear.

He could never have imagined that the woman he once viewed as an ant and captured at will had now grown into such a powerful existence, that even a long-renowned Dou Zong expert had been defeated by her.

At this moment, where was there any trace of an Emperor’s dignity? He was nothing more than a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in Xiao Yi Xian’s hands.
