Iron Protector suddenly discovered that he didn't have the slightest ability to break free, as if he had to watch helplessly as death descended upon him.
And the truth was exactly as he thought. On the Burning Heaven Finger, dark red flames condensed into a line and pierced directly through Iron Protector's forehead, incinerating his Soul Origin.
For those of the Hall of Souls, they might have a way to survive if they lose their Physical Body, but if they lose their Soul, they are truly gone!
"Little Yan Zi!"
Just as Chen Yang finished off Iron Protector, he heard Yao Lao's somewhat guilty shout.
He turned to look at Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, and seeing that the Myriad Scorpion Gate experts hadn't attacked them, he flashed over to Xiao Yan.
"What happened?" Chen Yang asked.
"This old dog used some kind of demonic poison spot. I see that Xiao Yan's situation is very bad!" Yao Lao said through gritted teeth.
"No matter!" Chen Yang shook his head and tapped Xiao Yan's body. A surge of majestic Dou Qi instantly suppressed the demonic poison spot inside Xiao Yan.
"Whew..." Xiao Yan felt as if he had just walked along the edge of life and death. The heart-eating pain from that demonic poison spot earlier was indeed lethal.
If his Physical Body weren't currently comparable to an ordinary Sixth-Tier Magical Beast, he probably would have turned into a puddle of pus instantly.
"Jie jie jie, kid, with your Dou Zong strength, how long can you control the demonic poison spot in his body?"
"Sooner or later, the poison will reach his heart, and he'll turn into a puddle of pus and die in agony. Jie jie jie..."
Xie Bi Yan laughed crazily.
"It's nothing more than a Dou Zun; that's too simple!"
Chen Yang waved his hand, then took Xie Bi Yan's Soul from Yao Lao, put it into a jade bottle, sealed it with Volcanic Stone Flame, and tossed it into his storage ring.
This Xie Bi Yan was a Dou Zong after all. Keeping his Soul would be useful for refining a Heavenly Demon Puppet later!
"So it really only takes a Dou Zun to remove the demonic poison spot in Xiao Yan's body?" Yao Lao asked, looking at Chen Yang.
"The demonic poison spot is a poison condensed from all the Dou Qi of an Izumo Empire expert. The toxin from a Dou Zong naturally requires a Dou Zun expert to resolve." Chen Yang nodded.
"Then this matter is much simpler. I'll prepare some medicine for Xiao Yan to suppress the toxin later. Once we get to Jia Nan Academy, I'll ask them to help me contact my old friend, Wind Venerable. If he learns I'm still alive, he will definitely rush over to meet me!" Yao Lao breathed a sigh of relief.
He had originally thought Xie Bi Yan was lying to him, but it turned out it really only needed a Dou Zun expert. He had thought it might require a Dou Sheng.
"Perhaps there's another way to solve it!" Chen Yang suddenly smiled and turned to look at Xiao Yi Xian.
"You mean, the Netherworld Poison Flame???" Yao Lao immediately understood Chen Yang's meaning.
Although the Netherworld Poison Flame is a highly toxic Heavenly Flame, when paired with the Calamity Poison Body, it might be able to control all the poisons in the world.
"Mm!" Chen Yang nodded, patted Xiao Yan's shoulder, and then looked down at the group of experts from the Myriad Scorpion Gate.
"We beg the Senior for mercy!"
"All of this was the doing of Xie Bi Yan and Xie Shan; it has nothing to do with us!"
"Senior, have mercy! Have mercy!"
"..."
Below, the crowd from the Myriad Scorpion Gate, from Dou Huangs down to Dou Practitioners, were all kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy.
"They've discovered Teacher's existence..." Xiao Yan was also quite angry at this point. He had almost died; how could he not be furious?
Thus, after careful consideration, the usually kind-hearted Xiao Huohuo looked at Chen Yang and said, "Brother Yang, let's kill them all!"
Chen Yang thought for a moment and then nodded. "Kill them!"
...The one-sided slaughter ended twenty-five minutes later. Yao Lao attacked in anger, and using Xiao Yan's body, even ordinary Dou Huangs couldn't withstand half a move before him.
Soon, the entire Myriad Scorpion Gate, including the sixth-tier sect-protecting Demonic Beast, the Four-Winged Sky Demon Scorpion, was slain.
During this time, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin also gained some combat experience. Xiao Yi Xian, in particular, was eye-opened by seeing many methods of using poison.
After killing everyone from the Myriad Scorpion Gate, Xiao Yan happily began to loot.
The massive Myriad Scorpion Gate, with its Dou Zong heritage, had all its secrets laid bare under the cover of Yao Lao's Peak Spirit Realm Soul Power.
Before the sun set, Xiao Yan returned fully loaded.
"Brother Yang, these are all the collections of the Myriad Scorpion Gate. Let's split them equally among the four of us!" Xiao Yan said with a smile as he laid out over two hundred storage rings before Chen Yang.
"You can take the gold coins and such for yourself. Give the poison-related items to your Sister-in-law Xiao Yixian. I only want the relevant medicinal herbs!" Chen Yang scanned the two hundred-plus storage rings on the ground and said with a smile.
"Alright, then I'll organize them. I'll keep the medicinal herbs below the fifth tier or those related to Soul Power, and the rest will go to you, Brother Yang!" Xiao Yan nodded and then happily went off to organize.
Seeing Xiao Yan's happy appearance, Chen Yang looked helplessly at Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin beside him. "Young people will be young people. Even if those things end up in his hands, won't I eventually be the one to 'congratulate him on his fortune'? Tsk tsk..."
Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin covered their mouths and chuckled. Xiao Yi Xian even gave Chen Yang a light punch. "You're quite wicked yourself!"
Chen Yang chuckled, reached out to pull Xiao Yi Xian into his arms, and led Qing Lin toward the still-intact Sect Master's courtyard within the Myriad Scorpion Gate...
