Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Page 293

Xiao Fan took it, glanced at it briefly, then raised an eyebrow and nodded slightly.

After reaching an agreement, Xiao Fan did not pursue the matter of the Cloud Empire trying to use Little Fairy Doctor. In short, at least so far, Little Fairy Doctor has only received benefits from them and has not suffered any losses yet. In addition, with so many medicinal herbs, it is enough to turn the matter over.

Because of Si Kou Ning's invitation, Xiao Fan and his group ended up staying in the palace and did not go out again.

The fact that the Sikou family destroyed the stronghold of the Wanxie Sect in Tianrong City could not be kept secret. According to Xiao Fan's prediction, the Wanxie Sect would probably make its move a day earlier than expected and start targeting the Sikou royal family.

However, the outcome came much earlier than Xiao Fan and the others had anticipated.

"Sikou Qingtian, it seems that the Chuyun Empire needs a change of leadership."

That night, while everyone was still fast asleep, a shout came from outside Tianrong City, shattering the dark clouds in the sky. The sharp aura plunged the entire city into panic.

"Damn it, it's the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect! The Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect is attacking!"

"I knew it. The city lockdown today was strange. It seems that a major war is about to break out between the royal family and the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect."

"Hahaha, just as I expected. I had already received the news. It was because the royal family destroyed the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect's stronghold during the day that they retaliated. Just watch, the royal family is no match for the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect."

......

Inside Tianrong City, upon hearing the shouts coming from outside the city, many people reacted with a mix of panic, excitement, and exhilaration, discussing the matter with those around them.

Inside the palace, Xiao Fan moved and appeared on the rooftop, his eyes gleaming with golden light as he looked out of the city.

"A four-star Dou Zong..."

With the help of the Golden Eye, Xiao Fan clearly saw Xie Biyan's realm. With Xiao Fan's current strength as a one-star Dou Zong, there was a considerable risk in facing Xie Biyan. However, if he used the Nine Transformations of the Radiant Sun, he should be able to contend with him without any problem. In fact, if he used the fourth or even the fifth transformation, it would be hard to say who would win.

call out!

Above the palace, sensing the oppressive aura of Xie Biyan, a golden figure appeared above the palace; it was none other than Sikou Qingtian.

At this moment, Sikou Qingtian, dressed in a golden dragon robe, stood in mid-air, exuding an imposing aura. He shouted angrily at Xie Biyan, "Xie Biyan, the people of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect have committed countless evils. In recent years, they have shown no regard for the lives of ordinary people. I have repeatedly admonished them, but instead of changing, they have become even more wicked, causing the deaths of countless people."

"This time, they even want to completely slaughter the hundreds of thousands of people in Zhanyun City, carry out an evil sacrifice, and even try to pin this evil act on the Jia Ma Empire, attempting to start a war between the two countries. Tell me, should I kill them for this?"

Si Kou Qingtian's sideburns danced in the wind, and his powerful voice, amplified by his battle qi, resounded throughout Tianrong City. Millions of people heard Si Kou Qingtian's words with their own ears. Since they already held the royal family in awe, they naturally believed him without a doubt and began to curse the Wanxie Sect.

"Kill them? Of course they can be killed! Anyone can kill such inhuman beasts. I thought the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect was a rare pure land for cultivation, but I never imagined that the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect would produce such inhuman beasts!"

"Good riddance! My son and grandson both died on the battlefield. If it weren't for you hypocrites deliberately stirring up war, my newlywed grandson wouldn't have perished on the battlefield..."

As Sikou Qingtian finished speaking, the resentment of the people in the city towards the Wanxie Sect reached its peak, and they began to angrily curse at Xie Biyan outside the city.

Some people tried to persuade their agitated friends and family to be more cautious, since the other party was a high-ranking cultivator, but they were convinced by the other party's words, "If the sky falls, there are always taller people to hold it up. Does he dare to slaughter Tianrong City as well?" and joined the army of angry curses.

Chapter 94 A Brief Test

As the curses and jeers rang out from inside the city, Xie Biyan's face grew increasingly grim in the air outside the city, and the pressure of a four-star Dou Zong directly crushed into the city.

Sensing the furious aura of Xie Biyan, no one dared to speak ill of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect. Although they were still resentful, they could only keep it to themselves.

"Humph."

After Xie Biyan noticed that the people in the city had calmed down, he snorted coldly and felt a murderous intent towards Sikou Qingtian, who had stirred up the people's emotions.

Although destroying the Sikou family now will cause some turmoil, there are many families who want to sit on the throne. Even without Qi Li, who else can become emperor? It's all up to me to decide.

Thinking of this, Xie Biyan looked up at Sikou Qingtian, his icy tone filled with killing intent, and said, "Sikou Qingtian, since you insist on opposing my Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, then today is the end of your Sikou family!"

Originally, Xie Biyan's goal in coming here was not to destroy the Sikou family.

However, the conflict between the Sikou family and the Wanxie Sect has now been brought into the open. Xie Biyan plans to gather the Wanxie Sect forces in Tianrong City to discuss how to handle the situation. However, he did not expect that after arriving in Tianrong City, he would find that all the forces belonging to the Wanxie Sect had been besieged and wiped out by the Sikou family.

That's why Xie Biyan was filled with rage and even wanted to kill someone.

call out!

With a swift movement, Xie Biyan flew directly to a spot not far from Sikou Qingtian, looked at him, and said, "Tell me, who gave you the confidence to dare to go against the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect?"

Despite facing Xie Biyan at such close range, Si Kou Qingtian showed no emotion whatsoever. As the emperor of a nation, he possessed a calm and composed mindset to face anything.

Looking at the aggressive Xie Biyan, Si Kou Qingtian stood with his hands behind his back, looking righteous and awe-inspiring.

"It's all for the people."

Seeing that Sikou Qingtian was still putting on an act, Xie Biyan could no longer suppress his anger. He looked at Sikou Qingtian and said, "Fine, fine, fine, fine."

"Since you care so much about the people, then today I'll show you who will stand on your side."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Biyan formed claws with both hands and went straight for Sikou Qingtian's neck.

brush!

Faced with Xie Biyan's attack, Sikou Qingtian retreated rapidly, but with such a huge difference in strength, he was no match for Xie Biyan. Just as Xie Biyan's palm was about to land on Sikou Qingtian's neck, a black shadow suddenly rushed out and blocked Sikou Qingtian's path.

boom!

The man looked incredibly old, with a deathly pale face and withered hands that resembled those of a walking corpse; he was a truly terrifying sight.

However, he blocked Xie Biyan's attack in front of Si Kou Qingtian.

"Ok?"

Scorpion Bi Yan noticed the arrival, let out a soft sound of doubt, then looked the old man in black robes up and down and said, "Old Ghost Si Kou, it's actually you!"

The "Old Ghost Sikou" mentioned by Xie Biyan was the former emperor of the Chuyun Empire. Because he was dissatisfied with the brutality of the Wanxie Sect and refused to cooperate with the Wanxie Sect in starting a war, he was secretly poisoned and killed by the Wanxie Sect.

The Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect's plan had succeeded, but fortunately, the Si Kou family had a top-grade sixth-rank pill for survival.

Ultimately, thanks to this pill, Si Kou Lao Gui managed to pull through.

However, it was precisely because of this incident that he made up his mind to free the Sikou family from the control of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect. He then took the opportunity to fake his death and pass the throne to Sikou Qingtian.

Without the burden of political affairs, he used the resources of the royal family to continuously build up his own power.

Although his strength wasn't among the top tier in the Izumo Empire back then, it was still first-rate. In recent years, freed from political constraints and nurtured by the resources of the Izumo Empire's royal family, his strength has risen to the level of a one-star Dou Zong.

However, he himself could also feel his own shortcomings. He was getting old and his blood and qi were declining. He was no longer able to break through to the second-star Dou Zong level, and his lifespan was naturally limited.

This is why he was so eager to take advantage of his remaining time to get rid of the Wanxie Sect, such a big problem, for the Sikou family.

However, he alone was no match for Xie Biyan. Just then, Si Kou Ning met Xiao Yi Xian.

The sudden surge in Xiao Yixian's strength, coupled with her urgent need for potent poisons, led the knowledgeable Si Kou Lao Gui to deduce that Xiao Yixian's constitution was the legendary Calamity Poison Body.

According to Si Kou Lao Gui's original plan, after Xiao Yi Xian broke through to the Dou Zong level, he would use the previous deal to get her to deal with the Wan Xie Sect. Then, during her battle with Xie Bi Yan, he would detonate her Calamity Poison Body, turning the area where the Wan Xie Sect was located into a dead zone.

As for how to detonate the Calamity Poison Body... she died, and the Calamity Poison Body naturally erupted. From the very beginning of the plan, Si Kou Lao Gui never thought he would survive.

The Calamity Poison Body, with its Dou Zong strength, erupted. Even if Xie Biyan was a four-star Dou Zong, the best-case scenario would be severe injury. Apart from Xie Biyan, all living creatures of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect would be completely annihilated in this upheaval.

At that time, the Sikou family will not need to worry about Xie Biyan, who is critically injured and on the verge of death and has no power. They only need to spread this news, and countless powerful people will naturally take the initiative to seek out Xie Biyan.

However, all of these plans were later cancelled by Si Kou Lao Gui.

The reason for this is the appearance of Xiao Fan and Yun Yun.

"Hehe, thanks to your good fortune, I won't die for the time being."

After blocking Xie Biyan's attack, Si Kou Lao Gui did not linger in the fight. After all, Xie Biyan's strength far surpassed his own, and he had only gained the upper hand because the other party was not serious. If they were to really fight, he probably wouldn't be able to hold out for long.

Fortunately, he didn't need to fight Xie Biyan to the death.

Just as Xie Biyan was about to make another move, several auras emanated from the Izumo Empire's imperial palace.

Xie Biyan sensed the presence of Xiao Fan and Little Fairy Doctor, and a look of doubt appeared on his face.

Turning his head towards the direction from which the aura came, he saw Xiao Fan sitting on the roof of the palace, with two women standing behind him.

"Two Dou Zong, and one peak Dou Huang..."

As Xie Biyan sensed Xiao Fan and his group's strength, his expression darkened. He had thought that the Si Kou family, under the surveillance of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, would not be able to cause any trouble, but he did not expect that not only was the old ghost Si Kou still alive, but he had also quietly broken through to the Dou Zong realm.

Moreover, what is the relationship between these three people who suddenly appeared and the Sikou family?

Without thinking, Xie Biyan thought of the powerful figures in Zhan Yun City who had blocked Scorpion Mountain. It seemed that they were the ones who had thwarted the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect's plan, causing their scheme to fail at the last minute.

Xie Biyan looked at Xiao Fan and the other two, his anger intensifying. If it weren't for their interference, the Wanxie Sect's plans wouldn't have been exposed, and they wouldn't be in such an awkward situation in the Chuyun Empire now.

"Hmph! So you were the ones who made the move in Zhan Yuncheng. It seems you're determined to oppose my Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect. May I ask how my Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect offended you?"

Faced with Xie Biyan's questioning, Xiao Fan's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at Xie Biyan indifferently and then said, "It's nothing. I've always liked to help those in need. The Wanxie Sect's schemes are too heinous. I advise you to follow their lead."

"Hmph, nonsense!"

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Xie Biyan replied, "If we cultivators truly resigned ourselves to fate, I, Xie Biyan, would not be where I am today. I am but a person from a mere city. It is their honor to become food for my Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Biyan's gaze swept over Xiao Fan and the others, then he glanced at the old ghost Sikou who was standing by in a state of high alert, before turning around and leaving.

Faced with Xie Biyan's departure, no one made the slightest move, except for Xiao Fan, whose eyes narrowed slightly. Then, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and appeared directly behind Xie Biyan.

"Baji collapse!"

"boom!"

Facing Xiao Fan's attack, Xie Biyan remained calm, instead revealing a mocking expression. He placed his palm in front of him to block Xiao Fan's attack, and was about to speak when he saw the playful look on Xiao Fan's face.

"burst!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an explosion came from inside Xie Biyan's body. Xie Biyan's eyes twitched, but his expression did not change at all. He slammed his palm down hard towards Xiao Fan, sending Xiao Fan flying back.

Scorpion Biyan gave Xiao Fan a cold glance as he sped away, then disappeared into the horizon.

All of this happened extremely fast. Xiao Fan's movement technique was already top-notch, and even Si Kou Lao Gui only reacted when the two clashed.

However, seeing that Xiao Fan had escaped unscathed and even seemed to have gained the upper hand, Si Kou Lao Gui looked at Xiao Fan and the others with a hint of amazement.
