At noon the next day, six men and one woman appeared in the Scorpion Mountain Range, walking slowly.
Looking at the young man and woman at the front, followed by five elderly men, one might mistake them for a young master and lady from a prominent family out for a stroll—if not for the fact that this was the Scorpion Mountain Range, teeming with poison.
As they approached Ten Thousand Scorpion Mountain, Wu Ya couldn't help but ask, "Sect Leader, is it just the few of us coming to the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect? Isn't this a bit too few?"
"Elder Wu, has your courage shrunk so much after breaking through to the Dou Zong level?" Xiao Yan tilted his head slightly. "Do you realize that just the few of us have more Dou Zong and Dou Huang experts than the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect?"
Wu Ya laughed awkwardly. "Protector Yan is right. It's just that this is the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect's headquarters, after all. They have the advantage of numbers. Our Poison Sect has many talents—sending more people wouldn't be difficult."
"It seems Elder Wu, after breaking through to Dou Zong, has reached his limit and no longer wishes to serve the Poison Sect," Little Doctor Xian said indifferently.
"This subordinate wouldn't dare," Wu Ya broke into a cold sweat. Although both of them had broken through to Dou Zong, with him doing so earlier, he had no confidence in winning if they were to fight.
As they spoke, a squad of over a dozen people emerged from the forest. The middle-aged leader shouted, "Who dares trespass into the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect's territory?!"
Little Doctor Xian raised her jade hand, and vast Dou Qi erupted from her body. Azure light flickered as clusters of blue butterflies formed around her, darting toward the middle-aged man.
In a flash of light, a butterfly landed on the heads of the middle-aged man and his companions.
Strangely, after the butterfly landed, the men froze as if struck by lightning.
Xiao Yan clenched his hand in the air, and the Plowing Spirit Sword materialized. With a single step, he appeared among the group.
The Plowing Spirit Sword emitted a soul-shaking light, and strands of Green energy flowed from the Ajna of the men, absorbed into the sword.
Wu Ya and the others could somewhat understand Little Doctor Xian's methods—her poison was simply extraordinary. But Xiao Yan's techniques were beyond their comprehension. How had these people died so easily?
The Plowing Spirit was a soul skill capable of devouring souls. Its attacks targeted the soul, and the low-level members of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect were utterly defenseless against it.
This was also why Xiao Yan had been able to break through to the high-level Mortal Soul Realm so quickly.
Those who resisted the Poison Sect's recruitment and died in battle had their souls devoured by the Plowing Spirit.
Although the soul power of these individuals was minimal, the accumulated energy from their numbers was significant.
Little Doctor Xian and Xiao Yan led the charge into the heart of the Scorpion Mountain Range, heading straight for the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect.
Their strength was overwhelming. The mountain guards were killed instantly upon contact, unable to raise any alarm.
Wu Ya and the others followed closely, some even resorting to movement techniques, their hearts filled with awe.
Although they could easily kill the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect members, they couldn't match the ease and grace of Xiao Yan and Little Doctor Xian.
The group moved swiftly, and in no time, they pierced through the Scorpion Mountain Range like a sharp sword, arriving at the foot of Ten Thousand Scorpion Mountain.
A thick green Poisonous fog surged from within the mountain, resembling a massive serpent, crashing toward the foot of the mountain.
"Poison Sect Leader, as a Dou Zong expert, why trouble yourself with these juniors of my sect?"
Seeing the attack that shook space, the red-robed elder and the other Dou Huang experts were once again stunned.
"Dou Zong experts are truly terrifying!"
Little Doctor Xian raised her hand, and the blue butterflies around her gathered in front, forming a massive azure shield.
The serpent collided with the shield, causing the space between them to shatter. A roaring wind swept out, and the Overflowing power shook the mountains.
Watching the two clash, Wu Ya circulated his Dou Qi through his meridians to steady himself, his heart filled with shock.
Scorpion Biyan was a veteran Dou Zong expert. At this critical moment, he wouldn't hold back. Yet, the Poison Maiden was evenly matched with him. Truly terrifying.
Even as a fellow Dou Zong expert, Wu Ya felt the gap between himself and the Poison Maiden grow even more apparent.
Beside Wu Ya, the other Dou Huang experts were sweating under the pressure of the two Dou Zong experts' battle, using all their Dou Qi to resist.
The Green serpent released poison gas, turning the sky dark and appearing ferocious. However, when it met the azure shield formed by the butterflies, it was like a hedgehog covered in spines—nowhere to bite.
The serpent lunged forward, using the momentum to Condensed green poison gas in mid-air, gradually forming the figure of an elderly man.
Scorpion Biyan tapped his cane in the air, and vast Dou Qi surged from his body, creating ripples in space.
Wu Ya thought grimly, "This old man has managed to conceal his aura to such an extent. It seems he hasn't been idle all these years. He's probably reached the four-star Dou Zong level."
After reaching the Dou Zong level, each star's advancement became increasingly difficult, and the gap in strength grew wider.
Without some Opportunity, Scorpion Biyan would likely peak at four-star Dou Zong, unable to break through to five-star.
Then, a doubt arose in Wu Ya's mind: "But where is Scorpion Mountain? We all received the sixth-tier Po Zong Pills. With Scorpion Mountain's talent, it's impossible for him not to have broken through to Dou Zong."
As Scorpion Biyan appeared, nearly a hundred people flew out from Ten Thousand Scorpion Mountain. However, there were few Dou Huang experts, and only a dozen or so Dou Wang experts.
Little Doctor Xian and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance, then leaped into the air, facing Scorpion Biyan from a distance. They also noticed the absence of a crucial figure.
"Where is Scorpion Mountain? Did he flee knowing the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect would fall today?"
Scorpion Biyan's turbideyes swept over Little Doctor Xian as he said indifferently, "Young one, when I was dominating the Chu Yun Empire, you were still playing in the mud somewhere. Even if the new generation surpasses the old, this old man hasn't been pushed aside yet."
"Now that I've emerged from seclusion, it's time to rebuild the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect's legacy. Since your Poison Sect has cleared out most of the forces in the Chu Yun Empire, you've saved me the trouble. Once I deal with you, the Poison Sect will naturally become the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect."
A cold glint flashed in Little Doctor Xian's eyes. Had Scorpion Biyan seized power from Scorpion Mountain, killing him in the process?
"If you want to devour my Poison Sect, let's see if you have the strength," Little Doctor Xian shouted coldly. "Poison Sect experts, form up and follow Protector Yan to eliminate the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect's rabble. Scorpion Biyan is mine!"
