Chapter 123: Lifelong Enemies, Pursued for Thousands of Miles
"Thank you, Commander Tianci. We four will definitely repay the young master well in the future," Xiao Jun said.
"Don't thank me. Just do what the young master instructed you to do. If you want to thank someone, thank the young master," Tianci replied.
"I understand. Without the young master, we wouldn't be where we are today," Xiao Wu said gratefully.
"I need to head back. You all will travel safely and won't encounter any danger. Once you reach the City of Slaughter, make sure to listen to the Third Legion Commander and Jiangnan. That would be the best way to repay the young master," Tianci said.
"Yes, Commander Tianci." The four were about to take their leave when suddenly a figure in white burst into Mingyue Tower.
"Damn it, this crazy woman has been chasing me for two days already!" As he finished speaking, this person appeared before Tianci and the others, surprised to see them. "Oh, Tianci brother, Xiao Family brothers, Tianxin, and little girl Tianling?" Everyone was puzzled about who this person was. Upon closer inspection of the White-Clad Man before them, he stood about 182 cm tall, with delicate features and flawless fair skin. He wore a long white robe, and his long black hair flowed in the wind—truly a handsome man. Moreover, his cultivation level was so profound that even the Douzun realm Xiao Brothers couldn't see through it; his realm was—Dou Sheng!!
"Who are you?" Tianci inquired.
"Oh, after breaking the curse, I returned to my original appearance. It's normal that you don't recognize me. Brother Tianci, let me introduce myself; I am Feng Xiaoyao. You may not have heard of me, but I have a notorious reputation that you must be familiar with."
"The Poison Master, ha ha."
"The Poison Master? The Poison Master!!" Tianci exclaimed in astonishment.
"Boss?" "Boss?" Xiao Wu and Xiao Jun said simultaneously.
"The Poison Master?" Tianxin and Tianling said in disbelief. How could this handsome man be that lecherous old dwarf?
"I know you don't believe me, but there's nothing I can do about it. Whether you believe it or not, I am who I am," Feng Xiaoyao said helplessly. "Kid, how was the gift that the boss gave you when we parted?"
Feng Xiaoyao looked at the Xiao brothers with a wicked smile.
The two brothers held back for a while before saying three words: "Not bad."
"Little brat, come out! Otherwise, I'll beat you to death!" A woman's voice suddenly came through again.
"Auntie?" Tianling and Tianxin looked at Feng Xiaoyao in confusion.
"That's right; it's this foul woman. Ever since we got close, she has been chasing me relentlessly. Wherever I go, she follows," Feng Xiaoyao said helplessly.
"Has Aunt also advanced to the Dou Saint level?" Tian Ling asked instinctively, sensing Feng Xiaoyao's tone. Anyone who could chase after a Dou Saint must also be a Dou Saint themselves. "That's right. After I applied the Heavenly Desire of Freedom on her, I kept running with her, trying to deepen the poison within her body. Who would have thought that in a state of lust, she broke through the final barrier and entered the Dou Saint realm? However, this also left her entire body’s fighting energy imprisoned by the lust, leaving her without any power to resist, and then I took advantage of the situation," Feng Xiaoyao explained.
"Aunt was just waiting for an opportunity; otherwise, she would have entered the Dou Saint level long ago," Tian Ling said.
"Exactly! That's why I was able to break the curse of the ruins. Ha ha," Feng Xiaoyao said proudly.
"I wonder what curse you are talking about?" Tian Ci asked curiously.
Feng Xiaoyao was about to speak when Tian Sky's clear voice rang out again: "Feng Xiaoyao, if you don't come out now, I'll slaughter the city!!"
"Alright, alright, you old hag, I'm coming out," Feng Xiaoyao replied, then leaped away in a flash.
"You two brats, make sure you do well and don’t embarrass me. If anyone bullies you in the future, I'll help you settle it!"
"Tian Ci brother, when we return, please tell Young Master that the Poison Master had no choice but to retreat at a critical moment and will personally apologize to him in the future."
"Crazy woman, if you have the ability, catch up with me."
"Little thief, stop right there."
"This is too unbelievable! The Poison Master is actually a Dou Saint!!" Xiao Jun exclaimed in surprise.
"It seems he is not just any ordinary One Star Dou Saint; otherwise, how could Aunt not catch up with him?" Tian Ling said.
"Forget about him for now; you four should set off for the City of Slaughter. Tianxin and Tian Ling, your fighting energy should be unsealed by now," Tian Ci said.
"When we arrived at Wildfire City, the seal had already been lifted."
"In that case, with all four of you Dou Zun accompanying each other, you'll definitely be safe. Alright, I need to head back now," Tian Ci said.
"Captain Tian Ci, do you want me to see you off?" Xiao Wu asked.
"No need; you all should head to the City of Slaughter as soon as possible. It's unstable there, and Captain Jiangnan doesn't have any Dou Zun under him. The sooner you get there, the sooner he won't have to live in fear."
Tian Ci said. "Since that's the case, we'll set off immediately and take down the City of Slaughter for Young Master."
"No need to rush; the City of Slaughter is a place of Three Teachings and Nine Streams. If four Dou Zun could easily take it over, it wouldn't have remained empty until now. You just need to take care of Captain Jiangnan and look after the soldiers of the Shadow Kill Yongbing group," Tian Ci quickly explained.
"Well, then I shall take my leave."
"Farewell," the four said as they bid goodbye.
"Be careful on the way," Tian Ci said.
"We will," they replied, and with that, the four leaped away. Tian Ci sat down again, thought for a moment, then got up to settle the bill and purchased a Nightmare before riding back to Galaxy City. By the time Tian Ci returned to Galaxy City, it was already the next day, and he reported everything that had happened to Yang Chen.
"The poison master is called Feng Xiaoyao? And he's a Dou Sheng level expert? From his conversation with the Lord of Heavenly Water City, it seems he was cursed to become a Dou Zun before becoming the senior brother of the Lord of Heavenly Water City. It looks like Feng Xiaoyao must have been a powerful figure from over a hundred years ago," Yang Chen analyzed.
"That's possible. Now that Feng Xiaoyao is already a Dou Sheng expert, even if I exhaust all my efforts, I can't predict anything about him. If he were still a Dou Zun expert, I could still calculate some things using secret methods," Tian Ci said helplessly.
"That's not your fault. After all, you've only been cultivating the 'Weather Heaven Classic' for about twenty years. If you had another thirty years, who in the world couldn't be calculated? Alright, Tian Ci, you should go back and properly lead the Shadow Kill Yongbing team. Now that the poison master is not with you, be careful when doing things and watch out for Zhang Gao's retaliation," Yang Chen said with concern.
"Yes, I understand," Tian Ci replied respectfully. "Young Master, there have been frequent wars lately. My Shadow Kill Yongbing team has already recruited thousands of loose cultivators. Now with the more than twelve hundred people you sent over, we already have over eight thousand."
"Not bad; this is Jiangnan's strategy, right? Is the emblem I gave you for the Shadow Kill Yongbing team still enough?" Yang Chen asked.
"Yes, there are still over three hundred thousand left," Tian Ci said.
"Where there is war, there are refugees. Do everything possible to strengthen our Shadow Kill Yongbing team as much as we can. A mere few thousand people can do very little. Moreover, my people in the Shadow Kill camp cannot move now; in the future, we will have to rely solely on the Shadow Kill Yongbing team," Yang Chen explained to Tian Ci.
