Chapter 336: Xiao Yi Xian Advances to Dou Zun Rank!
Outside the cave, Qing Lin and Medusa waited silently, keeping watch.
"They've been inside for several days now. I hope they succeed this time and Xiao Yi Xian can fully control her Poison Body of Fate," Qing Lin said quietly.
Medusa nodded slightly. Though she was the last to join Xiao Ze's group, she only had a close relationship with Qing Lin. However, she had no hostility towards Xiao Yi Xian, as there were no conflicts of interest between them.
Moreover, the way Xiao Ze related to them clearly showed he wanted them to coexist peacefully.
"I hope so."
At that moment, both Qing Lin and Medusa noticed a scarred woman approaching from afar, frowning slightly. However, being someone close to Xiao Yi Xian, they didn't act hastily.
"Greetings, honorable ones!" said the scarred woman, bowing respectfully before them.
"What is it?" Qing Lin asked after assessing that the woman posed no threat.
"The Dark Alliance has received information: personnel from the Yunlan Sect stationed in other empires were attacked by forces that once allied with them. However, some managed to escape, and their whereabouts are unknown."
"Additionally, the capture order for Yun Shan has spread throughout the Black-Corner Domain, but we haven't received any concrete news."
"However, we have found some clues. According to our intelligence network, Yun Shan seems to have fled to another empire outside the Black-Corner Domain, not returning to the Yunlan Sect."
After hearing the report, Qing Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Tell me more about the clues you found."
The scarred woman was slightly surprised, expecting them not to be interested in these matters. But she realized they understood the situation perfectly.
"From the Dark Alliance's intelligence network, it seems Yun Shan is deliberately spreading his Soul Devouring technique."
"Before, Yun Shan relied on the Yunlan Sect to spread it, but now he does so openly, teaching anyone."
"Although this technique is cruel and inhumane, in the Dou Qi continent, there is no shortage of those willing to sacrifice their humanity for power."
Upon hearing this, Medusa and Qing Lin became serious. If Yun Shan was indeed spreading the Soul Devouring technique without restrictions, it would be a grave problem.
Some would be willing to sacrifice everything to increase their power, even their own lives. If Yun Shan continued like this, there would be a wave of people practicing this technique.
Previously, most who practiced Soul Devouring were Yunlan Sect members or those forced into it. But now, the spread could be massive.
"In that case, let's intensify the hunt for Soul Devouring practitioners and spread the news about its dangers to neighboring empires and forces. They must join us in this fight," Qing Lin proposed after discussing it with Medusa.
The scarred woman, though doubtful, accepted respectfully. She knew she couldn't disobey these two, and having their support would allow her to defend herself before the Alliance leader.
"I'll take care of it immediately!"
After resolving this matter, Qing Lin and Medusa refocused on their main concern: Xiao Ze's safety.
Time passed quickly.
Inside the cave, Xiao Ze moved his fingers slowly from Xiao Yi Xian's heart upwards. The heart, being the core of the Poison Body of Fate, contained immense power.
Xiao Ze had spent three days condensing the poisonous energy from that area. Finally, with one last effort, the purple-gray light from the poisonous symbol on Xiao Yi Xian's forehead intensified.
Xiao Yi Xian slowly opened her eyes, feeling her Dou Qi grow explosively. She smiled at Xiao Ze.
"Seize this opportunity to advance to Dou Zun rank!" said Xiao Ze, pulling out a cloak to cover Xiao Yi Xian. She nodded and sat in a lotus position.
Xiao Ze stepped back, leaning against the wall and watching Xiao Yi Xian.
He didn't know how the original poisonous symbol worked, but he was sure his method was effective. The symbol absorbed the poisonous energy, converting it into controllable power, preventing it from being a mortal threat to Xiao Yi Xian.
With the energy accumulated in the symbol, Xiao Yi Xian felt light, and her Dou Qi grew rapidly, reaching Dou Zun rank.
"I didn't have to wait long," Xiao Ze thought, feeling he himself had reached a new level of power through this process.
"Xiao Yi Xian, congratulations on reaching Dou Zun rank."
"Thank you. Now we are on the same level," said Xiao Yi Xian, wrapping herself in the cloak and appearing next to Xiao Ze with a smile.
"I'll make you a batch of Tian Ling pills to train better at this stage. Combining them with poisonous herbs, you'll soon catch up with Medusa and Qing Lin."
"Alright! Let's see if there have been any changes outside," Xiao Yi Xian replied, not rejecting the pills.
Xiao Ze deactivated the barrier concealing the cave, and together they stepped out.
