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

95: Section 95Could anyone really suspect that these few wearing school uniforms were delinquents attempting to sneak in? Please, this is the Izumo Empire.

”No, no... This subordinate would not dare to question your authority.” The subordinate did not dare to say anything more and lowered his head.

Afterward, Xiao Yi Xian openly and brazenly brought Yun Xiancheng and Little Lion into the mountain gate of the Myriad Scorpion Gate. At this moment, the mountain gate was covered in white cloth, clearly for the memorial of the Great Dou Masters and Dou Ling who died today. Yun Xiancheng looked like a criminal returning to the scene of a crime, watching those mourning the dead with great interest. Xiao Yi Xian glanced at him and said softly:

”Xiancheng, do you not feel any anxiety or have any other thoughts because of killing?” Upon hearing Xiao Yi Xian ask this, Yun Xiancheng shook his head and said:

”They have absolutely nothing to do with me. I recall a saying from the sages: ’Love begins with one’s own kin.’ You are my family, but they are strangers to me, or even enemies.”

Yun Xiancheng thought for a moment: ”My love hasn’t overflowed to that extent.”

Xiao Yi Xian pondered and asked: ”Then do you really have no emotional fluctuations toward strangers?”

”I do. For instance, if I see the impoverished, I may feel a trace of pity and can help when convenient, but one must know how to prioritize. Do not bring trouble upon yourself because of pity.”

Yun Xiancheng pulled Little Lion and Xiao Yi Xian into his embrace.

”Furthermore, outsiders can never compare to you; you will always be my most important family.”

Xiao Yi Xian roughly understood what Yun Xiancheng meant; his love was both broad and narrow. It was broad in that he could love many Young ladies, shoulder their lives, and be their family. It was narrow in that, toward unrelated people, he was as cold as a murderous statue; when he killed, it was like killing animals, without a shred of emotional fluctuation.

”Love begins with one’s own kin.” Xiao Yi Xian murmured: ”Xiancheng... and everyone, you are also my only family in this world.”

While chatting, the three of them had already arrived at the treasury of the Myriad Scorpion Gate. The guards watching the treasury were far stronger than those at the main gate. Several sixty or seventy-year-old Dou Ling saw Xiao Yi Xian and nodded slightly, which counted as a greeting. These people had been at the Peak Dou Ling for many years, and in this life, they were likely destined to never reach the Dou Wang Realm.

”I am here to retrieve medicine.” ”Retrieving medicine again? Do you have the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect’s order?” One person frowned. Not long ago, Xiao Yi Xian had just retrieved medicine, and now she was back; she must be trying to trick them for more.

They were well aware of the situation regarding the Calamity Poison Body and consciously suppressed her rate of progress; otherwise, the consequences of letting her grow would be unimaginable.

”Naturally.” Xiao Yi Xian snapped her fingers, and purple Dou Qi transformed into poison insects, rushing straight toward those Peak Dou Ling. ”There is no order.”

Along with the poison insects, a green longsword and purple Beast Fire rose simultaneously. The three of them attacked at the same time, striking directly at these Peak Dou Ling. They were unable to dodge in time and were instantly pulverized by the three attacks.

”There is no time to lose, let’s go.” Three storage rings flew into Xiao Yi Xian’s hand. She skillfully took out three key-like objects from them, pieced them together, and opened the warehouse door. Seeing her practiced manner, it was obvious that this had been premeditated for a long time.

”Hahaha, I’ve long been displeased with them. Isn’t it just because they are worried that I will surpass their generation’s Young Master of Yun Lan? They refused to give me resources no matter what.” Although Xiao Yi Xian chuckled, her expression was solemn; it was clear she had been suppressing her feelings for a long time. However, when her eyes looked at Yun Xiancheng, they softened much more.

”Since they won’t give them to us, we will just take what we need ourselves.” Xiao Yi Xian smiled while holding Yun Xiancheng’s hand.

Yun Xiancheng looked at the surrounding warehouse, thinking to himself that it was indeed the warehouse of a poison sect; almost all of it was poison. Medicine Lady was currently by Xiao Yan’s side protecting her safety, and Yun Xiancheng was only a half-baked Alchemist, so he only recognized a few things he had seen before. He did not look at the medicinal herbs but instead went to look at other things.

The Myriad Scorpion Gate was similar to the Cloud Mist Sect; their mainstream cultivation methods were primarily Black-rank High-grade Cultivation Method. Yun Xiancheng accepted these methods without hesitation. Unfortunately, the Earth Grade High-Level Cultivation Method directly passed down by their Sect Master was not here, otherwise, he would have taken that too. Although these methods were primarily poison-based, he could still earn a significant amount by reselling them once he reached the Black-Corner Region. He still remembered that he needed to manage his small treasury together with Ya Fei.

Little Lion went to focus on some Heaven and Earth spiritual essences, all of which were things similar to Beast Fire. She tasted a mouthful directly and was choked red by the poison qi contained within. She ran into Yun Xiancheng’s arms to ask for a hug. Yun Xiancheng held her in his left hand, and she licked Yun Xiancheng’s cheek like a kitten.

Xiao Yi Xian was well-versed in pharmacology and quickly emptied out all the poison of the Myriad Scorpion Gate. She also organized the medicinal herbs with normal pharmacological properties into a storage ring and tossed it to Yun Xiancheng. ”Here, these can be used for alchemy.”

While taking the storage ring, Yun Xiancheng nimbly came to her side, reached out with his right hand, and pulled Xiao Yi Xian into his arms. ”Why do you tease me from time to time?” Xiao Yi Xian asked, leaning against Yun Xiancheng. ”Because I am thinking of you every single moment.” ”You have a glib tongue.”

Just at this moment, a question came from outside the door: ”Why are the three elders not here? Why are there traces of fire burning here?” Afterward, the Young Master of the Myriad Scorpion Gate saw Yun Xiancheng with a girl in each arm. He was stunned for a moment, his eyes looking numbly at the Heavenly Poison Saintess, who was leaning in Yun Xiancheng’s arms like a little woman.

He looked at Yun Xiancheng’s flawless face, not feeling anger, but a kind of despair. First, Yun Xiancheng was too good-looking; before, during the battle, he was in blood-stained clothes, full of majesty, and now, in white, he was ethereal and refined. How could someone like himself, a person of the earth, compare to such an immortal like him? Secondly, damn it, if only he were a woman; he really wanted to marry the Young Master of Yun Lan. Finally, it was over; the Heavenly Poison Saintess had rebelled and colluded with the Young Master of Yun Lan, and he had stumbled upon this secret; he was dead for sure.

192 Running Away: Xiao Yi Xian, whose strength had reached Peak Dou Ling after absorbing a large amount of poison, combined with Yun Xiancheng, who was not in the best state, plus the six-star Dou Wang Little Lion. The fate of the Myriad Scorpion Gate’s Young Master, who was only a Dou Ling, was already sealed. But he still resisted the three’s attacks crazily.

”Young Master of Yun Lan! We are determined to kill you! The plot for this was originally meant for tomorrow, but since you seek death today, then come!” During his desperate resistance, light flickered all over his body. Yun Xiancheng quickly noticed that three items on his body were beginning to slowly release the aura of the Dou Huang stage.

As expected! He had a backup plan left by a Dou Huang, which was to suddenly explode when they were fighting, attempting to kill him completely in that instant. The Dou Huang present and those not present reacted instantly. At this critical moment, Yun Xiancheng slashed out with his sword, first directly beheading the Young Master of the Myriad Scorpion Gate, then instantly circulating his Dou Qi, transforming it into a barrier to block around himself and the two women.

Seeing this, the two women also placed their hands on Yun Xiancheng’s shoulders without hesitation. Their hearts were already in sync, connected to each other, and their Dou Qi was also connected without any obstruction, actually linking together at this moment to form an even more solid barrier.

The attacks of the three Dou Huang landed on the barrier one after another, and the huge impact force directly tore a large floor area centered on the three of them into pieces. The attacks of the three Dou Huang made the three of them feel their blood and qi surging, but it was not impossible to resist.

But next, a trace of Dou Zong aura exploded, and immediately after, it was actually the attack of the Grand Elder of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect that came. Clearly, the goal of the Dou Huang and Dou Zong of the Izumo Empire was very clear: to pinpoint and kill Yun Xiancheng. Clang!

Yun Yun held her sword horizontally to block the attack. The powerful impact made the hand of this Eight-Star Dou Huang of Cloud Mist Sect tremble uncontrollably. Immediately after, a purple flame ignited from Yun Yun’s sword, and Yun Yun’s originally trembling hand became stable. Yun Ziyi spread her purple wings and flew above Yun Xiancheng’s head.

Purple flames rose, and Big Lion glared coldly at the several Dou Huang surrounding the Myriad Scorpion Gate. These Dou Huang were all low-star Dou Huang, their faces filled with grief and indignation; it was clear that the Dou Huang who died that day might have been their colleagues.

Lü Man pulled with her delicate hand, and the space trembled like flowing water. They disappeared on the spot, actually intending to run away! A Dou Zong expert could already use the power of space to accelerate their escape speed.

In just the blink of an eye, they fled thousands of miles away, leaving the range of the Izumo Imperial Palace. But after standing on the border between the Izumo Empire and the Jia Ma Empire, they could not cast spatial techniques so easily. An old man walked through the air, followed by the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, who was at the Peak Dou Huang.

”It seems I have given you too much face...” The Grand Elder of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect’s face turned extremely red. He looked to be on the verge of anger. Yun Xiancheng and his party broke into the Izumo Empire, almost killing all the Great Dou Masters and Dou Ling that the Myriad Scorpion Gate could control, also killed the current emperor, shit on the head of the Izumo Empire, then broke into the Myriad Scorpion Gate’s treasury to steal things, abducted the Heavenly Poison Saintess, and killed the future Young Master of the Myriad Scorpion Gate.

”There is no point in talking more, let’s have another fight!” Lü Man took out a flute and played a melodious tune. With the fluctuation of the melody, Dou Qi transformed into green snakes, surging toward the Grand Elder of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect.

”You are only a One-star Dou Zong, how can you contend with me, a Three-star Dou Zong? Do you still think the gap between Dou Zong star levels is as small as the gap between Dou Huang star levels?” The Grand Elder of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect said coldly. He also attacked, transforming into countless scorpions, tearing at each other with the green snakes.

The Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect commanded several low-star Dou Huang, having them entangle Yun Yun and Big Lion to buy him a chance to attack Yun Xiancheng. Although those low-star Dou Huang were not Yun Yun and Big Lion’s opponents, they could still manage to entangle them for a short time.

The Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect threw a punch, aiming straight for Yun Xiancheng’s face, but saw that his expression did not change at all. He just said softly: ”If you could kill me, you would have already done so. Why do you insist on doing something you cannot do again?”

Before the words faded, from Yun Xiancheng’s shadow, Shadow Guard suddenly burst out and fought with the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect. ”Xiancheng, I want to help you.” Xiao Yi Xian saw this chaotic battlefield, stood beside Yun Xiancheng, and said loudly.

Afterward, she took out the storage ring and began to quickly absorb the poison she had just retrieved, trying to accelerate her upgrade speed to reach Dou Wang. Yun Xiancheng did not object but protected her in his arms, then began to take deep breaths. His cultivation method was currently an Earth Grade High-Level Cultivation Method, Cloud Above Heavenly Palace.

The supporting cultivation method, heavenly palace fairy, was mainly given to his wives to practice. Now, as he fought together with his wives, it was time to fully utilize the supporting effects of this set of cultivation methods. ”Activate.”

Yun Xiancheng exhaled, and the surrounding environment seemed to change in an instant. Clouds replaced the broken ground, the mountain gate of the Myriad Scorpion Gate disappeared, and it became an endless expanse of clouds. The Dou Huang of the Izumo Empire looked up and saw a magnificent yet blurry heavenly palace slowly rising above the clouds.

The heavenly palace was majestic and imposing, but upon closer inspection, it was extremely blurry. At the same time, some magnificent treasure halls lit up, and faintly, remnants of the heavenly palace fairy could be seen flowing in the treasure halls.

The heavenly palace slowly rose, but for some reason, in the eyes of the Izumo Dou Huang, the heavenly palace was getting closer and closer. To be precise, it was falling toward them. But because Yun Xiancheng’s Realm was not deep enough at the moment, and the number of his wives was also limited, in the end, only one gate, branded with the three large characters ”South Heaven Gate”, stood above the clouds.

Yun Xiancheng’s wives immediately felt a connection from the underworld becoming more and more obvious. They looked at each other, and the resonance of their Dou Qi became more and more obvious, even directly assisting them in battle. For example, Yun Yun discovered that her sword was burning with purple fire, and at the same time, there was a faint layer of poison.

Under the South Heaven Gate, the heavenly palace fairy erupted with more powerful strength than ever before, gradually gaining the upper hand in the battle. ”This... this is impossible.” ”Sorry, this is a matter that has already happened, not an impossible matter.”

Yun Xiancheng raised his head, looking at the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate close at hand, and said softly. At this moment, he felt far more tired than he had after fighting all day yesterday. But he felt very relaxed. Because at this moment, he could feel the will of the Young ladies—besides those here, there were others.

The Young ladies far away at Jia Nan Academy also sensed this battle, and they were giving their support here as much as they could. Shadow Guard was the only member of Yun Xiancheng’s group who did not become stronger under the South Heaven Gate. For her, such a scene was something she had only seen in her life.

When she was young, she grew up in a small world created by the Ancient Clan. That world had no sun or moon, no flowers or forests. It was a world of shadows. They, these Shadow Guards, were born to guard the Dou Sheng Young ladies of the Ancient Clan.

She was the strongest of her peers, a girl with the rare potential of a Dou Sheng among the servant clans of the Ancient Clan, so she was fortunate enough to become Gu Xun’er’s personal Shadow Guard. She studied very seriously in general knowledge classes. She knew that the first Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect was Yun Potian, knew the history of the Cloud Mist Sect’s decline in the past, and also knew which Dou Sheng’s hometown the Izumo Empire was many years ago.

But she only knew these things. The real Dou Qi Continent was better than her hometown, but that was about it. But that heavenly palace was different. Shadow Guard recalled that blurry heavenly palace. She had a strong premonition. That would be her home many years later.

193 Papa: Yun Xiancheng turned his head slightly, his gaze cast toward another battlefield. There, the One-star Dou Zong Lü Man, relying on the powerful blessing of the Cloud Above Heavenly Palace, was completely suppressing the Three-star Dou Zong Grand Elder of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect.

Just at this moment, a stream of light cut through the sky. The Peak Dou Huang Jia Xingtian was flying over at an astonishing speed. He appeared extremely old at this moment, as if he would run out of oil and lamp-wither at any moment.

This place was not far from where the Jia Ma Empire’s army was stationed. The future empress and the eldest princess of the Jia Ma Empire were standing on top of a tall military tent, looking up and waiting eagerly. Their gazes seemed to be anxiously searching for a certain figure.

Yao Ye, relying on the eyesight of a Peak Dou Ling, could barely see the details of the chaotic battle in the sky, and soon, she saw Yun Xiancheng in white clothes. Poor Heavenly Moon, whose Realm was slightly inferior, could only sense that familiar aura of Yun Xiancheng coming from the sky in the underworld.

Seeing Yun Xiancheng and his party in the chaotic battle, Jia Xingtian felt some shock in his heart. He had not expected at all that Yun Xiancheng could possess so many Dou Huang-level helpers. But on second thought, as his grandson-in-law, the greater his ability, the better, naturally.

Jia Xingtian almost did not hesitate at all, his figure flashed, and he joined the siege against the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect. With another Peak Dou Huang expert joining the battle, the balance of victory had already completely tilted toward Yun Xiancheng’s side.

”So, I have won.” Yun Xiancheng looked at the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect and said slowly. His voice was not loud, but it also reached the ears of the Grand Elder of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect in the same direction.

”I shouldn’t have let you kill those two Dou Huang.” The Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect showed deep regret on his face at this moment. If those two Dou Huang had not fallen, the situation at this moment would definitely be much clearer, and they would not be so passive.

”Even if you had joined forces at that time, I would still be fearless.” Yun Xiancheng’s tone was calm but revealed a powerful confidence. On the other side, the Grand Elder of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect had already felt the huge risk of falling. He was suppressed by a One-star Dou Zong, with almost no power to resist.
