"Why are you crying? Just because you don't have these things doesn't an I don't," said Xiao Tiance.
In the headquarters of the Poison Sect, located in the Empire of Chu Yun, Xiao Yi Xian's sobbing suddenly ceased upon hearing Xiao Tiance's words. She blinked her bright eyes at him and asked excitedly, "You have all three of these items?"
Seeing the hope in her gaze, Xiao Tiance chuckled softly. This girl must have lived in fear her entire life because of her Constitution of Calamity Poison.
In the original story, this very curse caused Xiao Yi Xian to distance herself from Xiao Yan. If not for Xiao Yan eventually helping her with the Poison Pill technique, she might have either sought vengeance, causing untold deaths, or resigned herself to quietly dying alone when the poison completely took over her body.
From the young Xiao Yi Xian in Qingshan Town to the ruthless Heavenly Poison Lady of the Poison Sect if given a choice, she would likely have preferred to remain the simple Xiao Yi Xian of Qingshan Town forever.
Looking at her slightly weary face, Xiao Tiance couldn't help but recall her hardships after leaving the Jia Ma Empire in the original story.
According to the story, Xiao Yi Xian spent a year in a small mountain village in Chu Yun Empire, staying with an elderly couple who had no children. The couple, touched by her kindness, treated her like their own daughter, and the villagers regarded her as family.
But this peaceful life was shattered when her Constitution of Calamity Poison erupted. The elderly couple, who had treated her like a daughter, died painfully before her very eyes. Their final, gentle gazes broke her heart into pieces.
She knelt at their graves until she fainted. When she woke, her hair had turned snow white.
It was then she realized she was a bringer of calamity.
The kind Xiao Yi Xian was buried deep within her heart, replaced by the cold and ruthless Heavenly Poison Lady.
Thinking of these events, Xiao Tiance's heart ached slightly. Gently, he said, "Don't worry. Of the three items you ntioned, I have the last two. The Xiao Clan's treasury holds at least three or four copies of them.
As for the first three types of Heavenly Flas I know soone who has them, and you know him too."
"I know him too?" Xiao Yi Xian murmured, her mind conjuring an image.
"Xiao Yan?" she exclaid in surprise.
"Haha, that's right. Xiao Yan is also a mber of the Xiao Clan, and I am his ancestor. Moreover, Xiao Yan already possesses the three Heavenly Flas you need.
Even if he didn't, acquiring three Heavenly Flas is trivial. The Xiao Clan's realm, Beyond the Heavens, holds more than a dozen types of Heavenly Flas. I myself possess one ranked fourth on the Heavenly Flas list the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Fla.
So, do you still need to worry?" Xiao Tiance smiled warmly.
In the Battle Through the Heavens storyline, Xiao Yi Xian's fate could be considered one of the most tragic. It's no wonder she beca utterly devoted to Xiao Yan after he helped her gain control over her Constitution of Calamity Poison.
"That's wonderful! Truly wonderful! What must I do for you to give these items?" Xiao Yi Xian's initial joy turned into nervousness as she asked hesitantly.
Hearing this, Xiao Tiance shook his head, laughing heartily. "You don't need to do anything. If you ask why, it's because back in Qingshan Town, you risked your life to warn of danger. That alone is enough!"
"But "
Xiao Yi Xian wanted to say more, but Xiao Tiance cut her off with a wave of his hand and said with a smile, "Even if I didn't need your warning, and no danger would have befallen , your act of kindness still matters.
Just for that, I accept your goodwill. These items are yours, free of charge. I only hope that no matter how many hardships you face in the future, you'll keep that kindness in your heart. I hope the Xiao Yi Xian I et again will always be the one from Qingshan Town not the Heavenly Poison Lady of the Chu Yun Empire."
Hearing these words, tears stread down Xiao Yi Xian's face once more. She was elated that soone still rembered the kind Xiao Yi Xian. Smiling through her tears, she promised, "Don't worry! I will always be Xiao Yi Xian from Qingshan Town!"
"Hahaha, that's good. Take a few days to settle things here in the Chu Yun Empire. Once you're done, co with to Central Plains.
If you need help, feel free to ask the mbers of Tianji Tower to assist you," Xiao Tiance said with a hearty laugh before turning and walking towards the main hall of the Poison Sect.
"Thank you, sir!"
Watching his departing figure, Xiao Yi Xian shouted her gratitude. Xiao Tiance did not stop, but the corners of his lips curved slightly as he continued walking.
At this mont, a mber of Tianji Tower approached Xiao Yi Xian and asked, "Miss Xiao Yi Xian, how should we deal with the people from Ice River Valley?"
These individuals had already had their cultivation sealed by Xiao Tiance, leaving them as ordinary people. If Xiao Yi Xian wished, the mbers of Tianji Tower would carry out any punishnt for her.
Upon hearing this, Bing Zun, the leader of Ice River Valley, imdiately begged, "Please, Miss Xiao Yi Xian, spare us! Ice River Valley may be a prominent force in Central Plains. We could be of use to you in the future. Spare us, and we will obey your every command!"
"Yes, please show rcy!" the Ice River Valley mbers pleaded, kneeling.
Before Xiao Yi Xian could respond, a mber of Tianji Tower sneered. "Calling yourself a top tier force in front of Tianji Tower what arrogance!"
Still, they refrained from overstepping, recalling Xiao Tiance's earlier instructions to assist Xiao Yi Xian if needed.
Xiao Yi Xian's expression shifted repeatedly before she sighed and said, "Forget it. Let them go."
"As you wish," replied the mbers of Tianji Tower, stepping aside and removing the seals on Ice River Valley mbers.
Upon regaining their cultivation, Bing Zun bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Miss Xiao Yi Xian. Should you ever visit Central Plains, please honor us with a visit to Ice River Valley."
"One more thing," a Tianji Tower expert interrupted. "You ntioned Soul Hall earlier. When did they contact you?"
"Three years ago, before Soul Hall's downfall," Bing Zun answered.
Satisfied with the answer, the Tianji Tower mbers allowed them to leave.
Once the Ice River Valley group departed, a Tianji Tower expert turned to Xiao Yi Xian and asked respectfully, "Miss Xiao Yi Xian, is there anything else we can assist you with?"
Xiao Yi Xian shook her head gently. "No need. I can handle the rest myself. Thank you for your help today."
"You're too kind, Miss Xiao Yi Xian. If that's the case, please take this Tianji Token. We'll take our leave now."
The Tianji Tower Dou Zun handed over a Tianji Token with both hands and then disappeared quickly with his team, as if they had never been there.
Xiao Yi Xian glanced at the token in her hand and smiled brightly. She then turned and walked toward the grand hall.
Before long, she saw Xiao Tiance sitting alone in the hall, leisurely sipping tea. The look of enjoynt on his face made Xiao Yi Xian feel a bit envious.
"Sir!" Xiao Yi Xian greeted him with a respectful bow.
"Oh? I thought you might kill the people from Ice River Valley. I didn't expect you to let them go," Xiao Tiance remarked with so surprise.
"Ehehe, didn't you say you preferred the Xiao Yi Xian from Qingshan Town and not the Heavenly Poison Lady of the Chu Yun Empire? Letting them go makes perfect sense, doesn't it?" Xiao Yi Xian replied playfully, her eyes sneaking glances at Xiao Tiance from ti to ti.
Noticing her gaze, Xiao Tiance turned his head and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"I'm just surprised. So many years have passed, but aside from your outfit being different from when you were in Qingshan Town, you haven't changed at all!" Xiao Yi Xian said with a smile.
"Haha, what could possibly change? I've looked the sa for a thousand years. At my level of strength, even dying isn't easy."
"Alright, stop standing there like a maid. If soone saw this, they might think I was bullying you," Xiao Tiance chuckled, waving her off.
"A maid? If you don't mind, I can be your maid!" Xiao Yi Xian tilted her head and said adorably.
As she spoke, she removed the veil covering her face, revealing a delicate and beautiful appearance that exuded a fresh, ethereal charm unlike that of ordinary people.
However, having lived for a thousand years, Xiao Tiance had long developed an ironclad will. Whether it was the beauty of Xiao Yi Xian or dusa, neither could stir his heart.
"A maid? That won't be necessary. I don't like being served by others.
Also, though I've suppressed your injuries temporarily, you still need proper recovery. Take this Grade 8 pill, the Green Lotus Soul Restoration Pill. It'll not only heal your injuries but also strengthen your soul power."
As he spoke, Xiao Tiance retrieved a jade bottle from his spatial ring and tossed it to Xiao Yi Xian.
Accepting the bottle, Xiao Yi Xian gave him a radiant smile and bowed, "Thank you, sir!"
Xiao Tiance said nothing, rely waving a hand to indicate she didn't need to be so formal. He then instructed her to rest and recover fully before discussing anything further.
Ti passed quickly, and the next morning, before Xiao Yi Xian had finished her cultivation session, she heard an anxious voice outside her room.
"Sect Leader, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect has been wiped out!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian imdiately ended her training, opened the door, and asked in a serious tone, "What happened?"
"Sect Leader, it was the Ice River Valley. Last night, our disciples saw the Ice Sovereign and his followers storm the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect.
By the ti we went to investigate, we found everyone in the sect dead.
Additionally, our disciples have brought back all their gold, treasures, techniques, and pills," the Poison Sect elder reported respectfully.
Xiao Yi Xian was montarily stunned before realizing what had happened. Ice River Valley must have destroyed the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect as repaynt for her rcy.
With a cold expression, she nodded and said, "I understand. You and the other elders handle it as you see fit."
"Yes, Sect Leader."
After the elder left, Xiao Yi Xian felt a mix of emotions. It was the first ti she truly understood how small she was compared to the overwhelming power of Xiao Tiance.
If not for Xiao Tiance arriving in ti yesterday, she would have perished. Yet, once he arrived, it seed as if he didn't even have to do anything the Ice River Valley group, including the Dou Zun Ice Sovereign, was subdued in an instant.
Now, Ice River Valley had not only spared her enemies but also gone so far as to destroy the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect to show respect not necessarily to her but to Tianji Tower and Xiao Tiance.
Reflecting on this, Xiao Yi Xian resolved to increase her strength quickly so she could repay Xiao Tiance in the future.
Three days later, Xiao Tiance and Xiao Yi Xian arrived at the Snake People Tribe in the Tagore Desert.
As soon as they arrived, Huang Jiuji led Queen dusa to greet them, followed by several Snake People elders and leaders.
"Clan Leader!" Huang Jiuji greeted with a respectful bow.
"Senior!" dusa also bowed.
Xiao Tiance waved his hand, signaling them not to be so formal. Then, he turned to Huang Jiuji and asked, "Huang Lao, is everything ready on your end?"
"It's all ready, but Clan Leader, you should take a look at this first," Huang Jiuji said as he handed over a scroll. "This ssage was delivered yesterday by the Snake People scouts. I didn't think much of it at first, but dusa said it involved Xiao Yan's two brothers, so I paid closer attention."
"Xiao Yan's brothers?"
Taking the scroll, Xiao Tiance read through it and imdiately understood. It turned out that the previous leader of the Yun Lan Sect, Yun Shan, had ordered a Dou Wang elder to capture Xiao Yan's brothers, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li.
Just as they were about to succeed, mbers of the Mittel Clan intervened secretly.
In the end, Xiao Li fled toward the Black Corner Region, while Xiao Ding narrowly escaped, though he lost both his legs before being rescued by the Mittel Clan.
Before Xiao Tiance could respond, Xiao Yi Xian said, "Sir, may I take a look? I'm a friend of Xiao Yan, and since his brothers are in trouble, it's only right that I help."
Hearing this, Xiao Tiance handed her the scroll. After reading it, Xiao Yi Xian imdiately said, "Sir, how about I go to the Yun Lan Sect myself? With my strength, Yun Shan shouldn't be a match for ."
At this, Huang Jiuji exclaid in surprise, "This young lady has the innate Constitution of Calamity Poison! What a rare physique. No wonder she's already a Four Star Dou Zong at such a young age."
Even dusa, standing nearby, showed a hint of surprise in her beautiful eyes.
"Haha, good eyes, Huang Lao. This girl's na is Xiao Yi Xian. We share a bit of history, and she's the one who activated the Tianji Token earlier," Xiao Tiance explained.
Then, he turned to Xiao Yi Xian and said, "Xiao Yi Xian, this is Huang Jiuji, a Grand Elder of my Xiao Clan. You may call him Huang Lao.
As for her, you've probably heard of her the Snake People Queen, dusa."
