Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

"Forget it, no matter what's strange about it, judging from the other party's identity, they are probably closely related to the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect. We'll run into them sooner or later."

Having come up with no solution, Xiao Fan stopped paying attention to the matter.

This trip to Zhan Yun City to stop the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect's plan has yielded results far exceeding Xiao Fan's expectations.

With Scorpion Mountain no longer a threat, and the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion now under Xiao Fan's control, plus the system's rewards, Xiao Fan's strength has advanced to the level of an eight-star Dou Huang, bringing him one step closer to becoming a Dou Zong!

"Alright, now that this matter is settled, let's leave."

Xiao Fanjian found no further information about Zhan Tailing. He and Yun Yun exchanged a smile, cupped their hands in greeting to Zhan Tailing, and then flew away from Zhan Yun City.

As Zhan Tailing watched Xiao Fan and Yun Yun gradually disappear into the distance, she also sighed deeply. After this incident, it was estimated that the superficial harmony between the Chuyun Empire and the Wanxie Sect could no longer be maintained. It was just unknown who would emerge victorious in the future struggle between the two.

Zhan Tailing naturally stood firmly on the side of the Izumo Empire's royal family, but it was precisely because she stood on this side that Zhan Tailing knew there was still a considerable gap between the royal family and the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect.

To put it simply, Scorpion Biyan of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect alone poses a significant threat to the royal family of the Izumo Empire, which is why he is so eager to win over Xiao Fan and Yun Yun.

"I just don't know who exactly the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect sent this time."

Zhan Tailing's face was somewhat gloomy. He returned to his study and wrote down all the recent events in a secret letter. He then instructed Ling Feng to arrange for someone to send it to Tianrong City immediately.

P.S. I had a meeting yesterday about holiday arrangements, which took up too much time. I didn't have the energy to write when I got back, so I'm making up for it with an extra update today. I'll continue with extra updates tomorrow. I apologize for this and hope you can understand!

This leafless fruit is important; it will be on the test later!

Chapter 36 The Destruction of the Xiao Family

As Xiao Fan and Yun Yun left Zhan Yun City, they could still see a dense crowd of people, like locusts swarming across the city, spreading outwards from Zhan Yun City.

Many people also brought large and small bags, clearly having brought all their belongings.

After all, what happened in Zhanyun City tonight was too shocking. They couldn't understand why the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, which was usually the number one sect in the Chuyun Empire, would target these powerless civilians.

However, most people were worried that after the news spread, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect would continue to target the area and establish its authority. To avoid being implicated in the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect's retaliation, many people left Zhanyun City overnight.

As these people left, news of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect's attempt to massacre Zhan Yuncheng spread instantly. At first, some people talked about it, while others thought the other party was just a madman and ignored it. It wasn't until more and more people who had escaped from Zhan Yuncheng spoke up that those who had objected realized the seriousness of the matter.

"It seems that the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect and the royal family of the Izumo Empire are about to make some big moves."

Looking down at the densely packed crowd leaving, Yun Yun sighed softly and looked at Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan nodded upon hearing this, and then said, "Let them fight it out first. We can also take this opportunity to see the trump cards of the Chuyun Empire's royal family."

Regarding Zhan Yuncheng's matter, although Xiao Fan and Yun Yun had agreed to deal with it back in Tianrong City, it wasn't because of the Chuyun Empire's royal family.

Yun Yun wanted to save the lives of the people in this city, and Xiao Fan's reasons included the system reward.

However, in reality, this matter should have been the one that the Izumo Empire's royal family was most concerned about. But after learning that Xiao Fan and Yun Yun had arrived, the Izumo Empire's royal family did nothing at all. It would be impossible for Xiao Fan not to have any objections.

The fate of the entire city rests on the shoulders of the Izumo Empire's royal family, who are still holding back their true strength and not revealing their trump cards, hoping to see the conflict between Xiao Fan and the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect intensify. Of course, Xiao Fan cannot be used as a pawn by them.

"Perfect timing, let's take this opportunity to go and have a look around the southeast of the Izumo Empire."

"I think you want to go to Dinggu City to see if there are any clues about Little Fairy Doctor, right?"

Yun Yun glanced at Xiao Fan sideways and said in a sour tone.

“It’s just on the way. The leafless fruit that Zhan Tailing mentioned is a specialty of the southeastern part of the Izumo Empire. Dinggu City happens to be in that direction, so maybe we can find some clues there? We have nothing to do now, so let’s go take a look.”

Xiao Fan reached out and squeezed Yun Yun's soft fingers, smiled and said.

Yun Yun wasn't really angry; she was just teasing her. Seeing this, she nodded slightly, and then the two of them headed towards Dinggu City.

......

Jiama Empire, Yunlan Sect, Back Mountain.

"Ah ah ah ah ah......"

"Sect Master, Sect Master, I can't take it anymore, just kill me!"

A series of shrill screams echoed in the cold hall. Several elders who usually represented supreme power and status in the Yunlan Sect were now rolling on the ground with their faces contorted.

On their bodies, strands of pitch-black mist, like chains, emanated from them and connected to a massive black fog at the very center.

At the center of the elders, Protector Jiu, shrouded in black mist, was chuckling maliciously. In the distance, illusory figures and sliding chains appeared and disappeared from the black mist surrounding him. These illusory figures had distorted faces and emitted silent, mournful howls.

These are all the souls of alchemists collected by Protector Jiu. Under the Soul Palace's secret techniques specifically targeting souls, they have no chance of escaping Protector Jiu's control.

At this moment, streams of pure power, centered on Protector Jiu, were continuously poured into the elders of the Yunlan Sect from the black mist chains connecting him and the elders.

Around the main hall, several figures stood, including Yunshan, Yunling, and other elders of the Yunlan Sect. They looked at the Yunlan Sect elders who were rolling around inside the main hall with expressions of fear on their faces.

What's even more shocking is that Yun Ling, along with the Yunlan Sect elders behind him, are now exuding an aura that has reached the level of Dou Huang!

However, if you perceive them carefully, you can still find the difference between them and Dou Huang. Although their strength has reached the level of Dou Huang, the energy fluctuations emanating from their bodies are much weaker than those of a normal Dou Huang, and their aura is also much more unstable.

This must be the secret technique that Protector Jiu mentioned before, which can directly raise the strength of the elders in the Yunlan Sect to the level of Dou Huang.

Yunshan looked at the elders rolling around in the arena, his expression still indifferent.

After being continuously instilled with the power of Protector Jiu, these elders have reached the limit of their potential and there is no possibility of further progress. However, even so, they are still genuine Dou Huang level. Although they are not as good as ordinary Dou Huang, they are still far superior to Dou Wang.

If one Dou Huang can't defeat the opponent, then two of them will go up. If two still can't defeat them, then three of them will go up.

In any case, after this wave of upgrades, the Yunlan Sect's high-end combat power has more than doubled.

As time passed, the roars inside the hall gradually subsided after a while. The figures of the elders who had been rolling around inside the hall all stood up, drenched in sweat. However, one figure remained motionless on the ground.

"What a waste of my energy."

Looking at the Yunlan Sect elder who was now completely still on the ground, Protector Jiu frowned and cursed. The Yunlan Sect elders standing to the side did not dare to have any objection. Although Protector Jiu had raised their strength to the Douhuang realm, he had also planted methods to control them within their bodies.

Protector Jiu waved his hand, and the energy he was channeling stopped. The black mist chains connecting the Yunlan Sect elders also broke off.

At that moment, the elders still felt a sense of unfinished business.

"Hehehe, Yunshan, this time I've more than doubled the power of your Yunlan Sect. Once this matter is settled, not to mention a mere Dou Huang, even you might have a chance to glimpse the path to Dou Zun!"

Protector Jiu glanced with heartache at the withered souls within his mist, but then, remembering that the Medicine Venerable, the number one alchemist on the Dou Qi Continent, was about to fall into his arms, his face immediately lit up with manic excitement, and he didn't forget to paint a rosy picture for Yunshan.

After hearing what Protector Jiu said, Yunshan knew it was just empty promises, but he still couldn't help but show a hint of longing.

Even Yun Potian, the founding patriarch of the Yunlan Sect, was only a high-level Dou Zong. If he were to truly break through to Dou Zun...

Thinking of this, Yunshan's body trembled with excitement.

"We will definitely not let Protector Jiu down..."

Yunshan took a deep breath to suppress his excitement and spoke to Protector Jiu. Then he turned to look at the dozen or so elders in the hall whose strength had reached the Dou Huang level, and his eyes became increasingly satisfied.

"Everyone, follow me and annihilate the Xiao family!"

......

Outside Wutan City, Yunshan, along with a group of elders from the Yunlan Sect, quickly arrived in the sky above Wutan City.

"Is this where the Xiao family lives?"

Looking down at the small city below, Yunshan's face showed disdain. This city was not even comparable to a corner of the capital. How could such a place produce a talent like Xiao Fan? (Because of Yun Yun's existence, the Xiao family and the Yunlan Sect did not turn against each other, and Yunshan had never even met Xiao Yan.)

“That’s right, Sect Master, the Xiao family is located in this Wutan City.”

The one-armed Yun Ling looked down at Wu Tan City with a sinister expression and spoke to Yun Shan, "Compared to our Yun Lan Sect, the Xiao family is nothing but an ant! How to decide is up to the Sect Master."

"How should we decide on the matter concerning the mere Xiao family?"

Yunshan gave a cold laugh, and the next moment, he circulated his battle qi, and an incomparably terrifying aura directly crushed down on Wutan City below.

boom!

The once bustling city fell into deathly silence in an instant. Countless figures tried to look up at the outside of Wutan City in horror, but they were all forced to kneel down by Yunshan's imposing aura.

"Xiao Fan, come out!"

The next moment, a majestic voice enveloped the entire city of Wutan, making it clear to everyone.

"What... what level of power is this expert?"

Inside the Xiao family, several elders had flushed red, but they still couldn't shake off the oppressive aura emanating from Yun Shan. The second elder spoke with difficulty.

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder mobilized his internal battle qi and managed to speak, "Your Excellency... I wonder how my Xiao family has offended you? Is it worth such a great fuss?"

At this moment, the elders were unaware that the group outside the city was from the Yunlan Sect. They simply felt that the other party was bullying them with their power and was extremely arrogant.

Swish!

The people inside the city felt the pressure on them ease.

In the next instant, more than ten powerful figures with dazzling battle qi wings on their backs landed precisely above the Xiao family.

The people around the Xiao family stared wide-eyed at Yun Shan and his group, who seemed to be approaching with ill intent. So many powerful individuals who had reached the Dou Wang realm were truly terrifying!

Only the Grand Elder and a few others had their expressions change drastically when they saw Yunshan and the others in the sky above.

"Battle...Battle Emperor?"

Chapter 37 Elder Arrested (First Update)

The eldest elder of the Xiao family looked at Yunshan, Yunling, and the others in the sky with a look of horror on his face.

Especially the leader, who stood with his hands behind his back in mid-air, undoubtedly demonstrated his strength—a Dou Zong!

Only Dou Zong can traverse the void directly without relying on the power of Dou Qi Wings.

"This is... someone from the Yunlan Sect."

The First Elder looked at the attire of the group of elders behind Yun Shan and recognized their identities. His heart grew even more bitter. It seemed that the one leading them was none other than Yun Shan, the recently rising star of the Yunlan Sect!
