The events atop Yun Lan Sect traveled like wildfire, spreading across every corner of the Jia Ma Empire within days, stirring an unprecedented storm.
The strength and influence of Yun Lan Sect in the Jia Ma Empire were known to all. With Yun Shan's presence in recent years, the sect's prominence had only grown.
Moreover, their alliance through marriage with Mu Lan Valley had made the two factions a dominant force in the northwest region of the continent.
Yet now, shocking news had spread: Yun Lan Sect was disbanding, and Mu Lan Valley was annihilated. This was nothing short of an earth-shattering event for the people of Jia Ma Empire.
Amid the uproar, the protagonists of this event, Mo Yu and Xiao Yan, beca household nas throughout the empire.
So were unfamiliar with their nas, but others, with sharper mories, recalled the Xiao Clan's Twin Dragons who rose like cots three years ago.
Back then, the Xiao Clan Twin Dragons were rely outstanding among the younger generation. However, in the eyes of soone like Yun Shan, they were insignificant and were eventually forced out of the empire after offending Yun Lan Sect.
Yet now, in just three years, they had returned stronger than ever, toppling the mighty Yun Lan Sect and annihilating Mu Lan Valley. Such terrifying progress left the people in awe and disbelief.
As the entire empire buzzed with the news, Yun Lan Sect confird its disbandnt, eliciting even more shock.
Shortly after the announcent, Yun Lan Sect disciples began leaving the mountain, shedding their identities to live as ordinary citizens. Never again could they flaunt their forr status.
Within half a month, nearly 80% of Yun Lan Sect's disciples had left. The once majestic Yun Lan Mountain now stood desolate and empty.
This mountain, revered as a holy land of cultivation, would gradually fade into the river of ti.
An ancient sect that had dominated the Jia Ma Empire for centuries had quietly fallen into decline.
Jia Ma Holy City, the Capital
In the bustling center of the capital stood the Xiao Clan estate, a place that had recently beco the focus of attention. Every day, prominent figures of Jia Ma City visited, bearing lavish gifts, hoping to curry favor with the newly risen Xiao Clan.
Midnight at the Xiao Manor
In a spacious, tranquil hall, a silver-eyed young man sat quietly on a chair, his eyes closed.
Graceful maids moved cautiously, refilling tea before stealing glances at the empire's most sought-after rising star.
Blushing cheeks betrayed their admiration—Mo Yu had beco a hero in the hearts of many young won in Jia Ma Empire.
Barely in his twenties, he could already contend with legendary Dou Zong experts. Such talent and accomplishnts seed almost otherworldly.
"Mo Yu, may I co in?"
The quiet hall was interrupted by a soft voice as a tall figure appeared at the doorway—it was none other than Xiao Yixian.
She was clad in a white dress, her long white hair cascading like a waterfall. Under the moonlight, her violet-gray eyes appeared softer, lacking the usual coldness. At that mont, she resembled the kind-hearted girl Mo Yu had t years ago in Qing Shan Town.
Hearing the familiar voice, Mo Yu slowly opened his silver eyes. Thunder flickered faintly in his gaze, and his handso face carried a trace of pallor. He smiled gently and gestured for the maids to leave.
"Of course, Xiao Yixian, you're always welco," he said with a smile.
"Congratulations on the fall of Yun Lan Sect and your long-awaited revenge," Xiao Yixian said, her violet-gray eyes filled with surprise as she recalled his extraordinary performance atop Yun Lan Mountain.
"To think that in just a few years, you've grown so powerful. I always knew your potential was limitless, but even I underestimated you," she admitted.
Mo Yu chuckled at her praise. "You've learned to flatter people. Back when we first t in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, you were eager to take down."
Xiao Yixian froze, her usually cold deanor giving way to a slight blush. "You... you still rember that?"
"Of course," Mo Yu replied with a laugh. "It was our first encounter, and we even tead up to find so treasures in a cave. How could I forget?"
Xiao Yixian bit her lip before smiling faintly. "You've also grown a lot. To unify the forces of Chu Yun Empire as the Poison Sect Master couldn't have been easy."
"It wasn't too difficult," she said softly. "With the Woeful Poison Body, my rise in Chu Yun Empire was like a fish in water."
Mo Yu sighed, knowing she was downplaying the challenges she must have faced. After all, she had been just a young girl venturing into a world teeming with poison masters.
Seeing the concern in his eyes, Xiao Yixian felt a warmth in her heart. She smiled and said, "You don't have to worry. I've managed well, thanks to the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder you lent ."
As she spoke, she opened her jade-like hand, revealing a green, venomous thunder. Its aura filled the hall with toxic mists, chilling to the bone.
Mo Yu was montarily stunned but quickly smiled when he saw the evolved Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder. No longer a weak, nascent entity, it had taken the form of a fearso green scorpion.
Its tail carried poison capable of instilling dread even in Dou Zong experts.
"It's reached its mature stage, only a step away from its peak form. Once at its peak, it could rival even Dou Zun experts," Mo Yu said, admiration evident in his tone.
"Thank you, Xiao Yixian. Lending it to you was indeed the right choice."
Xiao Yixian shook her head with a smile. "If anything, I should thank you. Without the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder, I wouldn't have survived the eruptions of my Woeful Poison Body."
As if recalling painful mories, Xiao Yixian's expression dimd.
Seeing how quickly the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder had grown, Mo Yu knew it must have absorbed a significant amount of Calamity Poison Qi. This realization led him to infer how frequently Xiao Yixian's Woeful Poison Body had erupted over the years.
Thinking of this, a trace of pity erged in Mo Yu's heart. He gently tucked a strand of hair, blown loose by the breeze, behind Xiao Yixian's ear and softly said, "In that case, it's better if you keep holding on to the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder."
Feeling the warmth from his touch, Xiao Yixian's delicate fra trembled slightly. A hint of blush crept up her exquisite ears as she bit her lip lightly and responded in a soft voice, "No, I originally intended to mobilize the forces of the Poison Sect to look for you. eting you here now is perfect timing—the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder should be returned to you."
"Oh? Why is that? You know —this Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder is a trivial matter. As long as it helps you, I don't mind," Mo Yu said, frowning slightly.
Hearing his words of concern, Xiao Yixian felt warmth well up in her heart, yet she still shook her head. "I understand your intentions, but the current state of the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder makes it unsuitable for to continue controlling it."
Mo Yu paused, then, as if understanding sothing, said thoughtfully, "Could it be...?"
Xiao Yixian interrupted, her gray-violet eyes eting Mo Yu's. "Years ago, you were right. The Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder is indeed a counterpart to the Woeful Poison Body.
"It's very likely that its creation stems from a thunder bolt that was infused with the toxins emanating from the corpse of a fallen Woeful Poison Body expert for centuries before it took shape.
"With the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder's growth, I've increasingly sensed its covetous intent toward as a Woeful Poison Body host. Were it not for the command you left with it back then, it might have already begun devouring ."
A bitter smile tugged at the corners of Xiao Yixian's lips.
Although the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder was incredibly useful to her, she could faintly perceive its underlying ambition.
During several outbreaks of her Woeful Poison Body, the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder had even attempted to devour her entirely.
Had she not been vigilant and still bound it with Mo Yu's commands, it might have succeeded.
"As I suspected," Mo Yu murmured, nodding slightly. "It seems the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder truly relies on the Woeful Poison Body. To reach its peak state, it must devour a host of this constitution. No wonder it desires you so strongly."
"That's likely the case." Xiao Yixian let out a bitter laugh. "Over the years, I've searched for ways to cure the Woeful Poison Body. Though I found none, I did co up with a thod of my own after extensive research.
"This thod involves controlling the Woeful Poison Body through the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder.
"I call it the Poison Core thod. It involves condensing the toxins accumulating within the body into a single poison core using the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder.
"If the poison core is successfully ford, the Woeful Poison Body will beco a truly fearso constitution.
"Throughout the continent's history, those who suffered the Woeful Poison Body never reached this stage because they couldn't form a poison core.
"But for the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder, which originates from this body, achieving this is possible. Unfortunately, it requires the thunder to reach its peak state first."
"A peak Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder..." Mo Yu muttered.
If the thunder needed to devour a Woeful Poison Body host to reach its peak, Mo Yu had another candidate in mind besides Xiao Yixian: the Ice River Valley's Chief, Bing He.
Though Bing He had an acquired Woeful Poison Body, his strength as a Four-Star Dou Zun suggested a considerable level of poison body cultivation. Devouring him might suffice to bring the thunder to its peak.
Mo Yu smiled gently at Xiao Yixian. "Leave it to . I promise that within five years, the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder will reach its peak, and you'll be able to form your poison core."
Xiao Yixian was stunned at first, but then a glimr of hope lit up her dim eyes. A faint smile spread across her lips as she nodded softly. "Mm, I believe you."
With that, she handed the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder to Mo Yu. After years of safekeeping, it was finally ti to return it to its true master.
Knowing the thunder's covetous intent toward her, Mo Yu no longer declined. Slowly extending his hand, he prepared to reclaim the thunder.
Sensing its master's aura, the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder emitted a faint cheer, its green, venomous currents crackling as it leaped into Mo Yu's palm.
Mo Yu smiled faintly. Yet, as he absorbed the thunder, the imnse energy it contained caused his brows to rise slightly.
Though not at its peak, the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder, ranked eighth on the Thunder Soul Ranking, surpassed his True Origin Devouring Thunder and Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder by far.
He could feel that absorbing the thunder's energy could push him several stars higher within the Dou Huang realm.
Grateful for Xiao Yixian's efforts in nurturing the thunder, Mo Yu activated his Dou Qi, which rippled like serrated blades, and began dividing a portion of the thunder.
Though reluctant, the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder did not resist, allowing Mo Yu to separate a sub-thunder.
Handing it to Xiao Yixian, Mo Yu said with a gentle smile, "Use this sub-thunder to suppress your outbreaks over the next five years.
"Though it's weaker than the main thunder, it can reduce the damage from your poison eruptions and won't harm you."
Xiao Yixian was montarily taken aback. When the sub-thunder landed in her palm, she exhaled deeply, her gaze softening.
Stepping forward, she embraced Mo Yu lightly and whispered in his ear, "Thank you, Mo Yu..."
Before he could respond, Xiao Yixian vanished into the sky, leaving only her lingering fragrance behind.
Watching her disappearing figure, Mo Yu chuckled softly, shaking his head as the faint scent on his robes lingered.
