Battle Through the Heavens: Beauties Abound Starting with Yunlan and Her Disciples

94: Section 94And so, Yun Xiancheng defeated this person again, right on the verge of exhaustion. Yun Xiancheng looked even weaker, and some people confidently stepped into the arena... This continued more than ten times. Every time, Yun Xiancheng appeared completely spent, yet every time, he miraculously counter-killed. Gradually, even the most foolish person realized what was happening.

”This person is playing tricks on us!” said one of the remaining individuals.

Another person said, ”But he really does look like he’s on the verge of defeat, doesn’t he?” Everyone looked at Yun Xiancheng, whose red robes were stained with blood, and fell silent.

They were all individuals with the potential of a Dou Huang expert, who could have steadily reached the Dou Huang stage and taken over their fathers’ responsibilities, but today’s battle had utterly

broken their courage.

Was he truly weak beyond measure, or was he faking exhaustion to lure them in?

After all, everyone wanted to live and become a person of high status, not a corpse. Just as the Izumo crowd exchanged uneasy glances, the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect shook his head:

”This person from the Cloud Mist Sect must be killed. Otherwise, Cloud Mist might produce a Dou Zun.”

He looked at the two people beside him and instructed, ”I will leave behind a contingency plan for you, giving you a chance to kill him when you fight him.” The Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect was currently instructing his disciple and the Heavenly Poison Saintess on how to eliminate Yun Xiancheng.

But the Heavenly Poison Saintess’s mind was elsewhere. ”Xiancheng has certainly... changed quite a bit.”

Xiao Yi Xian currently hid her face beneath a black robe and veil, watching Yun Xiancheng, clad in red robes and standing amidst a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, thinking with a slight sigh of emotion.

He definitely wouldn’t forget me. Xiao Yi Xian thought this to herself.

Is he here to take me back home? Xiao Yi Xian mused.

”Saintess, how confident are you in dealing with this person?” the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect asked Xiao Yi Xian.

Xiao Yi Xian assessed the situation for a moment and admitted frankly, ”Disciple... currently has no confidence. But if I can be given sufficient doses of poison to allow me to advance further, I can fight him.”

The Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect pondered, then finally nodded.

”Granted. We just happened to find a batch of the poisons you requested earlier.” He then looked at his disciple.

His disciple’s eyes were confident. The deaths of the others had provided him with a lot of intelligence about Yun Xiancheng. As a Poison Master, calculating against an unaware, heavily injured, and exhausted person, he was certain to win.

”This disciple will surely kill this fiend and avenge our compatriots of the Izumo Empire!”

Seeing that the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect was finally willing to give her cultivation resources, Xiao Yi Xian let out a long breath of relief.

Although she was the nominal Saintess on the Myriad Scorpion Gate’s side, it was just a title. She was ultimately an outsider, and they had withheld resources from her for a long time, fearing she might surpass their generation’s successor.

Well, she was an outsider after all. Just as she truly felt no sense of belonging here—if it weren’t for the abundance of poisons, she would have returned to the Jiama Empire long ago. Xiao Yi Xian was self-aware and held no affection for this place.

”It seems your people are nothing special. No one dares to accept the challenge anymore.”

Yun Yun walked up to Yun Xiancheng. Her white robes intruded upon Yun Xiancheng’s bloody garments, like snow falling upon plum blossoms. She held her sword horizontally and said:

”Since that is the case, let us temporarily cease fighting.”

By this time, the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect saw Yun Xiancheng’s Dou Qi nearing depletion. Although he desperately wanted to continue the consecutive battles, remembering the Supreme Elder’s instructions, he sighed and said:

”The final battle will be after the sun rises tomorrow.”

The Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect said, then with a flick, he took his disciple away from the location.

The remaining Izumo geniuses had lost their fighting spirit. They miserably left the area and returned to their respective factions. Their survival meant their factions still had a future, unlike other forces whose new generation of geniuses were killed, leaving them with no future. Yun Xiancheng didn’t care what these people thought.

He raised his head, looked at Xiao Yi Xian wrapped in a black robe, and nodded gently at her.

Xiao Yi Xian looked at the weak Yun Xiancheng, her heart tightening, but she merely glanced at him silently before slowly leaving and heading toward her own residence.

190 Disrupting Izumo is Enough

”Calculating the time, the news that the Izumo Empire’s frontier fortress has been breached should reach here tomorrow.”

Yun Xiancheng’s bloody robes had been exchanged for white ones. His face was pale, and he truly looked extremely weak.

Honestly, if the people he killed hadn’t run out of temper, he might have suffered a setback. Taking a full-power strike from a Dou Huang expert head-on was still pushing his luck. However,

after the Emperor of Chuyun and the Crown Prince died, he moved directly into the Imperial Palace. Although resting in someone else’s palace was a novel experience, but

Little Lion was currently massaging him, her purple Dou Qi gently pressing Yun Xiancheng’s body, accelerating the recovery of the Dou Qi within him.

Big Lion was kneeling, providing a lap pillow for Yun Xiancheng. She gently smoothed and stroked Yun Xiancheng’s hair, and pity flashed in her eyes as she looked at his weak appearance.

Yun Yun sat across from Yun Xiancheng, looking at her disciple enjoying the service of the beauties, and asked seriously, ”So, Chenger, how much will you be able to recover by tomorrow?” Yun Xiancheng shook his head.

”Their wheel battles certainly affected me, although I don’t fear them. But tomorrow... they will definitely have a hidden card, and a Dou Huang might even launch an attack against me.”

Yun Yun remained silent, but suddenly leaned forward and kissed Yun Xiancheng.

Her Dou Qi slowly poured into Yun Xiancheng’s body. Perhaps because they shared the same origin, Yun Xiancheng clearly felt his Dou Qi returning. ”Heh heh, it seems our esteemed Sect Master Yun is someone who likes to employ surprise tactics.”

Lü Man said from the side, her words sounding slightly sour. Yun Yun didn’t reply, simply separating from Yun Xiancheng.

Big Lion, who was kneeling, watched the two, then also leaned down to kiss Yun Xiancheng. After the two shared a moment of intimacy, Little Lion, who was massaging nearby, grew jealous.

Jealous of Big Lion, she sat on Yun Xiancheng’s lap and rubbed against him. Yun Xiancheng and Big Lion comforted her properly before she slowly got down. ”You

Lü Man was momentarily speechless, but Yun Yun gave her a push, sending her in front of Yun Xiancheng. ”Lü Man, you worked hard today.”

Green Savage looked at Yun Xiancheng, who was enjoying the bliss of having multiple wives, and a vein twitched on her forehead. ”Who comforts someone like that!”

”Our purpose in coming here was to disrupt Izumo. Now that the Imperial Palace has been smashed and people have been killed, we have essentially achieved our initial concept.”

Yun Xiancheng said slowly. ”So, are we leaving?”

Green Savage sat beside Yun Xiancheng, placing one of his hands on her lap, and gently massaged her lover’s fingers with both of her hands.

”I.” Yun Xiancheng thought for a moment and said, ”We’re bringing Xiao Yi Xian back.” ”Who is she? An older sister or a younger sister?”

”She entered the family earlier than you, but she is younger than you.” ”Then she’s a younger sister. I’m older.”

After briefly discussing the upcoming arrangements, they all looked towards Ying, who was kneeling on one knee in Yun Xiancheng’s shadow. ”This young lady?”

”I am the Young Master’s guard. There’s no need to pay attention to me.” ”Really?”

Little Lion, who was massaging, suddenly looked at Ying. As if by a maiden’s intuition, she said, ”Sister is so beautiful, you shouldn’t just be a guard.”

Upon hearing this, Ying nearly fainted. What was going on with this family? They hadn’t even asked her name, yet they were trying to get her into Yun Xiancheng’s Inner Academy. Yun Yun stepped forward, helped Ying stand up, and said, ”What Yun Yan said was a child’s jest, don’t worry about it. But you are Chenger’s guard? When did Yun Xiancheng acquire a Dou Huang guard?”

”Young Miss ordered Ying to protect Xiancheng. There is no need to discuss anything further.” Ying did not want to say more, and Yun Yun was tactful enough not to press.

”Then there’s no need to be so subservient in the future. Just be natural when you are around Chenger,” Yun Yun said.

”Yes, Ying, you don’t need to hide in my shadow anymore. You can stand openly by my side.”

When Ying heard Yun Xiancheng say this, she immediately understood what he was trying to do. Sure enough, he also wanted to take her in.

Or rather... this was inevitable. Ying had been spying on Yun Xiancheng for nearly three years; how could she not understand him? She was even confident that she understood Yun Xiancheng better than Yun Yun.

However, three years of spying had made Ying prefer watching from the side and... *ahem*, indulging herself. She truly hadn’t considered becoming one of the female leads. She lowered her head and whispered, ”Yes... I understand, Young Master.”

Although he guessed that Ying was the Queen of Peeping, Yun Xiancheng had known she was following him for a long time, so he didn’t actually feel spied upon. ”Alright, it’s time to go find Xiao Yi Xian.”

Xiao Yi Xian was sitting cross-legged on the bed, surrounded by various poisons piled up around her. These poisons were incredibly dull; their toxicity had all been absorbed by her.

At this moment, she no longer needed to directly consume the poisons to absorb their toxicity.

Her cultivation level was continuously rising, rapidly increasing from Dou Ling One Star and steadily advancing toward Peak Dou Ling.

The speed of advancement of the Calamity Poison Body was fully revealed at this moment. At this stage, as long as she had resources, she could progress rapidly. Just then, a streak of white robes appeared on the window.

Xiao Yi Xian looked up and saw Yun Xiancheng slowly landing on the floor, bathed in moonlight.

”Trespassing into a maiden’s room is not a good habit,” Xiao Yi Xian said.

Yun Xiancheng walked up to her side and whispered:

”I miss you very much.” ”Really?” Xiao Yi Xian countered.

”Of course it’s true.” Yun Xiancheng embraced her.

Under the moonlight, Xiao Yi Xian’s white hair seemed to glitter like tiny stars. ”I’ve become ugly.”

She didn’t particularly like her current head of white hair, thinking it looked too strange.

”Xiao Yi Xian is adorable no matter what,” Yun Xiancheng praised.

”Mushy... honestly.”

Although Xiao Yi Xian said this, her small hands unconsciously fidgeted with her fingers, clearly happy because of the compliment.

”Tomorrow, the Myriad Scorpion Gate will have me fight first. I’ll buy you a little more time to rest. They are preparing a few Dou King and Dou Huang stage

Xiao Yi Xian spoke of tomorrow’s arrangements. Yun Xiancheng pressed her hand and said:

”We won’t fight tomorrow. I’m here to take you home.” Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian was so happy she nearly jumped up to hug him. ”Yes! Home!”

”I’m sick of life here. Pretending to cooperate all day is nowhere near as comfortable as being by your side.” Xiao Yi Xian recounted the misery of her days to Yun Xiancheng.

Yun Xiancheng held her, gently patting her back and comforting her, ”It’s alright, it’s alright. We can go home now.” Xiao Yi Xian’s mood was much better than before, and she said with a smile:

”Then... I know the location of the Myriad Scorpion Gate’s treasury. How about we go rob it?” ”Then, let’s go.”

Yun Xiancheng took her hand and pulled her up to the rooftop.

Little Lioness Yun Yan was currently lying on the crossbeam of the roof. Seeing Yun Xiancheng leading Xiao Yi Xian onto the rooftop, she smiled and said, ”Good evening, Elder Sister Xiao Yi Xian. Long time no see.”

Seeing that the Little Lion, who had been so young and innocent back then, was still so cute, Xiao Yi Xian felt a warmth in her heart.

The two girls shared a gentle hug as a greeting. Afterward, Xiao Yi Xian told Yun Yan what they were going to do.

”Mom and the sisters will cover us well. We just need to go ahead and do it.”

Yun Yun, Big Lion, and the others were naturally following in the shadows, learning Ying’s superb concealment techniques and deeply experiencing Ying’s daily life of peeping. ”So, when we were with Chenger... you were present too?”

Yun Yun, realizing this belatedly and enjoying the novel experience of a voyeuristic perspective, subconsciously asked Ying next to her, ”Protecting the Young Master’s safety is Ying’s responsibility.”

But Ying didn’t want to answer that question; she just turned her face away, afraid to look at Yun Yun.

Yun Yun looked at the back of her head and decided in her heart that she must get this woman onto Yun Xiancheng’s bed soon to see what her messy appearance looked like. Purple Wing and Lü Man, the two women nearby, also had slightly red faces and surrounded Ying, looking at her with mischievous intent.

Ying was now sweating profusely. Although she seemed to admit she had some issues, the intent in their three gazes was very obvious.

Actually, Ying herself wasn’t opposed. Young Miss had also hinted that she could climb into the Young Master-in-law’s bed, the Young Master’s sisters all supported it, and the Young Master himself didn’t refuse.

This environment was quite appealing.

Wait!? What am I thinking!?

191 Being a Great Thief with Xiao Yi Xian

”Xiancheng, your condition should be fine, right?”

Xiao Yi Xian nestled in Yun Xiancheng’s arms, looking at his somewhat pale face, and spoke with heartache.

”A little worse than usual, but not life-threatening,” Yun Xiancheng replied.

With the Dou Qi supplied by Yun Yun, he had recovered a lot and was basically fearless. The three of them quickly arrived at the Myriad Scorpion Gate’s mountain entrance under Xiao Yi Xian’s guidance.

At this time, the Myriad Scorpion Gate was still brightly lit. Yun Xiancheng’s killings over the past few days had caused massive casualties among the core age group of the Izumo Empire’s forces, and a larger chain reaction was still ongoing.

Several key frontier fortresses had changed hands, and several legions had been systematically surrounded and annihilated, leading to another depletion of Izumo’s talent pool.

This directly affected the Myriad Scorpion Gate’s rule. Because of their call to arms, the most loyal group had already become corpses, and many local families and sects were changing allegiance, actively acting as guides for the Jiama Empire.

”Who goes there?”

The sentries guarding the mountain gate saw the three approaching and faithfully carried out their duties. Xiao Yi Xian snapped her fingers, and a slender insect crawled up the guard’s spine.

His body trembled, and he quickly said, ”Your Highness the Saintess!”

”The Sect Master ordered me to retrieve new resources to prepare for tomorrow’s challenge,” Xiao Yi Xian stated.

These guards had no doubts. As the Calamity Poison Body, the Heavenly Poison Saintess could rapidly advance by absorbing poisons.

It was just, ”These individuals...” This guard seemed a bit talkative and opened his mouth to ask.

”They are my subordinates. Is there a problem?” Xiao Yi Xian countered.

At this time, Yun Xiancheng and Little Lion were wearing black robes, looking instantly like suspicious characters.

However, thanks to the fact that they were currently in the Izumo Empire, black robes were common attire, even the ”uniform” of certain sects, so these guards didn’t think much of it.
