"I… I thought I would never see you again."
The Little Fairy Doctor rushed forward and tightly hugged Ye Hao.
Just now, she had already prepared for the worst outcome, ready to perish together with Poison Bee. She would never allow Poison Bee to touch her even once.
Ye Hao kissed Little Fairy Doctor's forehead, patted her back and said with a smile, "You're safe now. Don't worry."
"Hao-gege, hurry and leave! The Poison Sect has an old sect master who is a Dou Ancestor. His poison techniques are extremely formidable." The Little Fairy Doctor spoke anxiously, not even having time to reminisce. There was a slight sob in her voice.
As soon as she finished speaking,
the next moment,
Boom!
A majestic aura, like a giant dragon awakening, instantly enveloped the entire Poison Sect.
The terrifying pressure of the aura immediately forced the Poison Sect disciples who had not yet managed to escape to kneel on the ground.
Seeing this, Ye Hao immediately used his soul strength to form a protective barrier for the Little Fairy Doctor so she would not be unable to withstand such terrifying pressure.
"It… it's the old sect master!"
"Hahaha, the old sect master has awakened! The old sect master has come out of seclusion!"
"We're saved! Someone will avenge the sect master! Hahaha…"
"Hahaha…"
…
All the Poison Sect disciples kneeling on the ground burst into loud laughter.
The previous sect master of the Poison Sect was a Dou Ancestor.
In order to pursue a higher realm, he passed the position of sect master to Du Feng and devoted himself entirely to cultivation.
Unless the sect faced life-or-death danger, he would absolutely not come out.
At this moment, a stream of dark-brown Dou Qi shot into the sky from the depths of the Poison Sect.
Then a figure wearing dark black robes suddenly appeared in the sky.
He stepped through the air.
In the blink of an eye,
he arrived above the Five Poison Square.
Ye Hao stepped forward, shielding the Little Fairy Doctor behind him, and looked toward the dark-robed figure in the sky.
His hair was disheveled, and his clothes were messy. If he were outside, anyone unaware might think he was a beggar living by roadside begging.
His hands were clasped behind his back. His faintly green-glowing eyes swept across the square below.
Finally, they stopped on Ye Hao.
"You are the first person to reduce my Poison Sect to such a state."
"Speak. How do you wish to die? This old man can grant your wish."
Du She's voice sounded like fingernails scraping against foam, making people's teeth ache and their bodies feel uncomfortable. (TL/N: Du She also isn't in the wiki. His English name is Poison Snake while Du Feng is Poison Bee... lol.)
Yet his tone carried unquestionable authority, as if he were the ruler of this region and could decide someone's life or death with a single sentence.
"A mere Two-Star Dou Ancestor, and you already think you're invincible?"
Ye Hao said calmly.
"Hehe. At the very least, dealing with a mere Six-Star Dou Emperor like you is no problem."
After consuming the Emperor Extreme Pill he refined, Ye Hao had advanced from a Four-Star Dou Emperor to a Six-Star Dou Emperor.
two figures in yellow and white appeared in front of Du She like ghosts.
They were Jia Xing Tian and Yun Shan, who had already broken through to the Dou Ancestor realm.
"Du She, it has been many years since we last met. I hope you've been well."
Yun Shan said.
Jia Xing Tian also spoke.
"Our battle back then never produced a victor. Today, let us fight to the death and settle it."
"Yun Shan, Jia Xing Tian! I didn't expect that both of you would also break through to Dou Ancestor."
Du She recognized them at a glance.
"However, Dou Ancestors actually willing to be driven by a mere Dou Emperor. Truly disgraceful."
In his eyes, a Dou Ancestor should possess the pride of a Dou Ancestor.
"You may be two Dou Ancestors, but both are only One-Star. I am Two-Star. The difference between One-Star and Two-Star is like a heavenly chasm."
After saying that, the dark-brown Dou Qi inside Du She surged outward. In front of him, it formed a gigantic black serpent dozens of zhang long that shot toward Yun Shan and Jia Xing Tian.
Yun Shan and Jia Xing Tian each used their own techniques.
Two against one!
In the sky, Dou Techniques collided and violent energy swept across the air.
Below,
Yun Yun and Medusa appeared.
Clap clap…
Medusa clapped her hands.
"All finished."
"The top experts of the Poison Sect have already been killed by me and… and her," Yun Yun said.
Ye Hao nodded.
Boom!
Puff!
A muffled sound came from the sky. A brown figure fell from above and slammed heavily into the ground.
Dust rose everywhere, blotting out the sky.
"Bastards! You forced my hand!"
"Poison Gas World!"
Du She struggled to climb up. Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, a crazed expression appeared on his face.
Whoosh!
Dark-brown poison gas poured out of Du She's body like a raging torrent.
It rapidly spread in all directions.
Wherever the poison gas passed, even the ground was corroded, producing hissing sounds.
White smoke continuously rose.
Looking at the poison gas sweeping toward him, Ye Hao spread his palm. The Sea Heart Flame surged outward.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle…
The terrifying temperature of the Heavenly Flame quickly evaporated the poison gas.
"T-This… how is this possible?!"
Du She widened his eyes as if he had seen a ghost.
Ye Hao condensed the Sea Heart Flame into a rope and bound Du She within it.
"Explode."
Ye Hao clenched his palm.
The Sea Heart Flame suddenly exploded!
Amid Du She's screams, he was burned into ashes.
In an instant,
the remaining Poison Sect disciples in the Five Poison Square turned pale and desperately kowtowed toward Ye Hao, begging for forgiveness.
Ye Hao originally intended to kill them all.
However, the Little Fairy Doctor stopped him. She said she wanted to take over the Poison Sect.
Using this place as a foundation, she would improve her own strength while also developing a force that belonged to her.
Ye Hao roughly understood her intention and abandoned the plan of slaughtering the entire Poison Sect.
However, to prevent these people from betraying them later,
Ye Hao made some preparations.
First, he had the Amethyst Winged Lion King stay behind as the Little Fairy Doctor's bodyguard.
Second, he refined several pills and added a trace of Heavenly Flame into them.
If even one of them harbored betrayal, the Little Fairy Doctor could detonate the jade bottle Ye Hao prepared. Everyone else would then be burned to ashes by the flames hidden within their bodies.
After finishing these arrangements, Ye Hao originally intended to take his people and eliminate several poison sects within the Chu Yun Empire.
But the Little Fairy Doctor refused again. She said her growth required pressure from those forces.
Otherwise, if everything were too peaceful, she would become lazy.
Since she said so, Ye Hao did not stop her.
However, for safety reasons, Ye Hao had Yun Shan stay behind temporarily.
This was to guard against Dou Ancestor experts from other factions.
With him present, even if he could not win, he could still take the Little Fairy Doctor and escape.
During this time, Yun Shan privately sought out Ye Hao once.
As for what the two discussed,
no one knew.
After staying there for a few days, Ye Hao left with his group.
Returning to the Jia Ma Empire,
Ye Hao discovered that Yun Yun had been acting strangely recently.
It was as if she were hiding something from him.
Medusa noticed it as well.
One day, while Ye Hao was away,
Medusa directly asked,
"Yun Yun, why have you been acting so strange these past few days?"
"H-Have I? You must be mistaken."
Yun Yun avoided her gaze, trying hard to conceal the panic and unease in her heart.
But the more she acted like this, the more obvious it became that something was wrong.
Medusa sneered.
"You still say no! I noticed something was off ever since last month when Dad competed with Gu He in alchemy. You clearly knew the competition was that day, yet you only came the next day after everything had already ended!" (TL/N: Dad strikes again... For reminder, MC tricked both yun yun and medusa into calling him dad as it means Husband. If you guys are annoyed about it, i can edit any conversation of it.)
"Now that I think about it, you shameless woman, did you sneak off to fool around somewhere?!"
"Y-You're talking nonsense! I didn't!!"
Yun Yun said angrily and embarrassed.
"Do you think humans are like your Snake-People tribe? So lustful!"
"Yes, I am lustful. But only toward Ye Hao."
"You…"
"Don't change the subject. If you won't say it, then you must have a guilty conscience!"
Medusa had no interest in wasting words with her.
"I…"
Yun Yun's jade hands twisted the hem of her dress. Her silver teeth bit her red lips, and her face was filled with hesitation.
Medusa was not in a hurry. Swaying her waist, she walked over and sat at the table.
Her plump hips, squeezed by the stool, appeared even rounder.
They formed a sharp contrast with her slender yet powerful waist.
Clink…
Medusa poured herself a cup of water.
Her rosy lips gently touched the rim of the cup as she swallowed the tea inside, then set the cup down.
"You keep saying you love him, yet you hide things from him. If it weren't because… this queen could kill you right here and now!"
"Sigh."
Yun Yun let out a long sigh, as if she had made up her mind, and walked to the table.
"The reason I arrived late that day… was because I saw a strange black shadow at the Yun Lan Sect."
"That shadow went into my teacher's room. I don't know what the two of them talked about."
