"We still need to improve our strength as soon as possible. Only when we are strong enough will we have a chance to rescue our teacher..."

Opening her eyes, Yun Yun sat cross-legged not far away. Noticing that Xiao Fan had woken up, she cast a concerned glance over. Then, sensing the aura emanating from Xiao Fan, her expression gradually turned bitter.

"What's going on...?"

Seeing Yun Yun's expression, Xiao Fan smiled, moved closer to her, and pinched Yun Yun's chubby cheeks with his index finger and thumb, pulling them repeatedly.

"Snapped!"

Yun Yun slapped Xiao Fan's hand away without saying a word. She simply turned her head to the side with a forlorn expression, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.

"Let's go. Judging from Luo Ning's behavior just now, he has probably already discovered the Poison Sect's whereabouts."

Unaware of what was going on, Xiao Fan didn't notice Yun Yun's change. He assumed she was surprised by his terrifying increase in strength, so he reached out his hand to her, and the two of them entered Tianxiang Tower again.

In truth, Xiao Fan, with the soul of a modern person, never imagined that Yun Yun, as the former sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, possessed an arrogance no less than his own. It was only in front of Xiao Fan that she revealed such a girlish mentality.

Seeing that Xiao Fan, whose strength was originally far inferior to hers, had already broken through to the Dou Zong level, and that Medusa was already a Dou Zong three-star, Yun Yun couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.

She was afraid that she would not be able to keep up with Xiao Fan in the future. She did not want to hide behind Xiao Fan, but hoped that she could stand by Xiao Fan's side like Medusa and be able to help him.

......

The return of Xiao Fan and Yun Yun to Tianxiang Tower made Luo Ning uneasy.

Unaware of the noble status of the two men before her, she dared not offend them. Instead, she said, "My lords, according to our latest intelligence, traces of the Poison Sect have been discovered twenty miles east of the city. However, our investigators have not yet returned. Would you two like to wait a little longer?"

Upon hearing Luo Ning's words, Xiao Fan's face lit up with understanding. He exchanged a glance with Yun Yun and then said, "No need, I'll go and take a look myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Fan and Yun Yun left Tianxiang Tower and headed towards the outskirts of Dinggu City.

Twenty miles was nothing to Xiao Fan and his companion at their speed, and they soon arrived at the place Luo Ning wanted to visit.

On the ground lay many corpses, some of which had the Tianxiang Tower's mark hidden on their sleeves. It seemed that these were the spies Luo Ning had mentioned, and they had died here. No wonder no one had gone back to report.

Xiao Fan swept his soul power across the scene. Apart from the spies from Tianxiang Tower, the other corpses were covered with numerous wounds. The old ones had scabbed over, but some new wounds were also very noticeable, indicating that they had been tortured for some time before.

"This way!"

Under Xiao Fan's soul perception, all fluctuations on the battlefield were clearly visible. He then identified a direction and hurriedly led Yun Yun towards it.

After all, it was obvious that someone was chasing him. Although he didn't know if it was someone from the Poison Sect, Xiao Fan had finally found a clue about Little Fairy Doctor, so he naturally wouldn't let it die out like that.

call out!

Soon, Xiao Fan sensed the attack coming from ahead.

When Xiao Fan and Yun Yun arrived, there were about a dozen wounded people surrounded by several people dressed in black robes. The black-robed people were all stronger than the people in the middle. If Xiao Fan and Yun Yun hadn't arrived, they probably wouldn't have survived.

The sudden appearance of Xiao Fan and Yun Yun brought the battlefield to an instant silence. The people in the middle looked up at Xiao Fan and Yun Yun with hope, but after realizing they did not recognize them, they assumed they were the black-robed man's accomplices, and despair reappeared on their faces.

After noticing Xiao Fan and Yun Yun, the man in black robes did not immediately make a move. After all, Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan were powerful, and even the man in black robes was wary of them. The four of them were only Dou Wang level, and they could not see through Xiao Fan and the others' strength, so they did not dare to act rashly.

"My friend, what brings you here?"

Just as the atmosphere in the arena became somewhat strange, one of the men in black robes spoke in a hoarse voice, as if he hadn't spoken in a long time, and asked Xiao Fan a question.

"It's nothing. I just wanted to ask if you know anything about the Poison Sect?"

Hearing the words of the man in black, Xiao Fan's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly replied.

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, the expressions of the four men in black robes, hidden beneath their wide-brimmed hats, changed, and then they fell silent.

Among the dozen or so people surrounded, a middle-aged man who was seriously injured and still coughing up blood heard Xiao Fan's words and, regardless of whether Xiao Fan was friend or foe, since he was sure he wouldn't suffer any worse fate than falling into the hands of the black-robed man, he immediately struggled to speak and said, "I...we are from the Poison Sect!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the black-robed men around him attacked simultaneously, rushing towards the remaining members of the Poison Sect in the center. It seemed they wanted to kill the Poison Sect group before Xiao Fan could react.

Upon noticing the attack from the man in black robes, the middle-aged man's face showed a hint of resentment. He had thought he had a way out, but unexpectedly, he still couldn't hold on any longer.

"Hmph, I never said you could make a move!"

Xiao Fan snorted coldly, unleashing his full aura!

Chapter 70 Killing

On the ground, the four black-robed men who rushed towards the Poison Sect were all stunned in place under Xiao Fan's imposing aura, and dared not make the slightest move.

"Dou...Dou Zong?"

Sensing the aura emanating from Xiao Fan, one of the men in black robes showed a surprised expression. He never expected that simply chasing after this group of escaped Poison Sect disciples would lead to him provoking such a Dou Zong expert. Wasn't it said that apart from the Heavenly Poison Woman, the Poison Sect had no other Dou Zong experts?

"Humph!"

Xiao Fan snorted coldly, and his soul power spread through the arena. The four men in black robes were instantly severely injured, spitting blood and flying backward. Their auras weakened, and they landed on the ground.

Seeing the four black-robed men easily and severely injured by Xiao Fan, the middle-aged man who had spoken earlier from the Poison Sect group showed a hint of surprise on his face. He clasped his hands towards Xiao Fan and said, "Thank you for saving my life, young... senior. I am Fan Cheng from the Poison Sect. But... I wonder what connection you have with my Poison Sect?"

Looking at Xiao Fan's youthful face, Fan Cheng originally wanted to call him "little brother," but then remembered the other party's terrifying strength and forcibly changed his address to "senior."

Xiao Fan has gotten used to Fan Cheng's way of addressing him; after all, this is a world where strength reigns supreme.

"It's alright." Xiao Fan nodded calmly, then turned his gaze to Fan Cheng and asked, "Are you a member of the Poison Sect?"

"Yes, I am a steward of the Poison Sect."

Xiao Fan nodded upon hearing Fan Cheng's words. He already knew the structure of the Poison Sect from Tianxiang Tower. From top to bottom, the members were the sect leader, elders, deacons, core disciples, and outer disciples.

Since Fan Cheng is a steward of the Poison Sect, he should be able to provide a lot of information.

"I ask you, where is your Poison Sect Master?"

Xiao Fan looked at Fan Cheng and spoke. Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was very excited inside. After all, this was a clue about Little Fairy Doctor that he had finally found. Although the system's mission to help the royal family of the Izumo Empire destroy the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect would also provide clues about Little Fairy Doctor, Xiao Fan did not want to wait until then.

He had already wasted too much time on this journey. Something must have happened within the Gama Empire. Xiao Fan didn't want to delay any longer and just wanted to resolve the matter of the Chuyun Empire as soon as possible so he could return to the Gama Empire to take a look.

Upon hearing Xiao Fan directly inquire about the whereabouts of the Poison Sect Master, not only did Fan Cheng and the others' expressions change in a murmur, but even the four black-robed men who had already been severely injured by Xiao Fan showed a gloomy expression.

"Your Mightiness!"

Just as Fan Cheng was about to speak, one of the four men in black robes suddenly spoke, interrupting Fan Cheng and drawing everyone's attention to him.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing the other party's voice, Xiao Fan curiously turned his gaze over. The other party must understand the difference in their strength, so where did they get the courage to stop him?

"Sir, this matter was planned by my master. As long as you don't get involved anymore, we'll pretend today's events never happened. How about that? I know you're a Dou Zong expert, but even if you are, if you provoke the power behind my master, you'll only face death!"

When the man in black robes saw Xiao Fan turn his gaze towards him, a sense of fear rose in his heart. However, thinking of the power behind him, he still mustered up his courage and spoke to Xiao Fan.

Upon hearing the black-robed man's words, Xiao Fan's face showed a hint of surprise, and a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

"Oh? I wonder what the background of the person behind you is? How can they not even put a Dou Zong in their eyes?"

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, a hint of hesitation appeared on the black-robed man's face. He then shook his head and explained, "This... I cannot reveal it. But you must believe me, even if you are a Dou Zong, once you provoke the person behind me, you will surely die!"

Xiao Fan listened to the man in black robes, a hint of sarcasm on his face, and then glanced at him indifferently.

Just kidding, who on this mainland is someone I can't afford to offend?

Even if it's the Soul Emperor, haven't I still... provoked him? It's just that the other party doesn't know me yet!

Even the mighty Soul Emperor at the peak of the Dou Sheng realm isn't afraid of this, so why would he be afraid of this nobody whose identity he doesn't even know?

"Heh, then let the one behind you give it a try."

Xiao Fan smiled faintly, then stopped looking at the four men in black robes and waved his hand. Strange fire roared out and crushed them into dust.

Seeing how easily Xiao Fan killed the four men in black robes, the Poison Sect member in the middle showed a hint of surprise on his face.

They originally thought that since the other party had said that, even if he didn't care, he would at least ask for clarification. However, the other party didn't say anything and killed them directly. It seems that the other party is also a ruthless person.

Thinking of this, Fan Cheng no longer dared to underestimate him in the slightest.

Xiao Fan turned his gaze back to Fan Cheng and said, "Alright, now that no one is bothering us, you can speak."

Fan Cheng noticed that Xiao Fan's gaze had returned to him, and a sense of unease rose in his heart: Why was this person constantly asking about the sect leader? Could it be that the other party had some kind of relationship with the sect leader? But he had never heard the sect leader mention knowing such a powerful person before.

Xiao Fan had no idea about Fan Cheng's inner turmoil. Seeing that Fan Cheng hadn't reacted for a long time, Xiao Fan couldn't help but feel a little impatient.

Because it concerned Little Fairy Doctor, Xiao Fan didn't bother with the four men in black robes and didn't want to waste time on them, so he killed them directly.

Seeing that Fan Cheng hadn't spoken, Xiao Fan's expression darkened, and a trace of Dou Zong's aura pressed down on Fan Cheng and the others.

Fan Cheng and the others sensed the aura emanating from Xiao Fan and instantly understood the difference in strength between the two sides. The rest of the Poison Sect members looked at Fan Cheng with solemn expressions.

Fan Cheng looked at Xiao Fan's increasingly gloomy expression, a hint of conflict flashing across his face.

"Whatever, things can't get any worse than they are now. The sect leader is currently trapped in an ambush. Even without this person, he would probably be in grave danger. It's better to tell him directly; there might still be a chance for things to turn around."

Thinking of this, Fan Cheng suddenly spoke up and said loudly, "Okay, I'll tell you!"

Upon hearing Fan Cheng's words, Xiao Fan also withdrew his oppressive aura and calmly stared at Fan Cheng.

“We are all members of the Poison Sect, and we are probably the only remaining members of the Poison Sect outside.”

Fan Cheng looked at Xiao Fan and slowly spoke, a helpless expression on his face. The Poison Sect members behind him also became somber.

Chapter 71 Valley

"Two weeks ago, we suddenly received a message from an elder asking for help, so we went together to the location the elder mentioned, but we never expected that it was all an ambush."

At this point, Fan Cheng's face showed a hint of resentment. If it weren't for that traitor, they would never have fallen into the other party's trap, causing many members of the Poison Sect to lose their lives.

"When we arrived at the place the traitor mentioned, we found that a lot of poison was being grown there, and we realized something was wrong, but it was too late. We had already been surrounded by the enemy."

"We thought that the other side was a match for the Poison Sect and that we would die there. But we didn't expect that they would not kill us. Instead, they trapped us in a formation, and the poison gas around us was continuously injected into our bodies. It seemed that they were conducting some kind of experiment on us."

"During this process, many brothers committed suicide because they could not endure the torture. The few brothers who persevered were also infected with unknown toxins and were almost dead. But it was at this moment that the sect leader arrived."
