Chapter 382: Xiao Yi Xian is Followed!

  After leaving the venue, Xiao Yi Xian headed towards a certain inn iy. However, as the night deepened on the bustling streets, she noticed three shadows trailing her from behind.

  “What are these three old men trying to do?”

  With her current strength, Xiao Yi Xian could easily sehat the three people following her were the same three Dou Emperor experts who had beeed on the high ptform during the day.

  Realizing she was being followed, Xiao Yi Xian quied her pad sooered a somewhat secluded alleyway.

  "e out!"

  On the quiet alley, Xiao Yi Xian turned and shouted coldly toward the figures behind her.

  “So, it really is a woman!”

  Hearing her crisp voice, Fa Ma, Jia Xing Tian, and Hai Bodong exged gnces, suddenly realizing the truth.

  Knowing they had been discovered, the three no longer bothered hiding. They flew down from the rooftops, nding about teers in front of Xiao Yi Xian.

  Jia Xing Tian, walking in front, spoke loudly, “Little girl, your strength is quite impressive! You actually mao sehe three of us old men!”

  “The strength of my sect is not something you three ent on. If you’re smart, go back where you came from.” Xiao Yi Xian replied calmly, addressing the three titans of the Jia Ma Empire.

  “A sect?”

  “Could this girl be the leader of a sect?”

  “A sect leader at seventeen?”

  Hearing Xiao Yi Xian refer to herself as the head of a sect, Jia Xing Tian, Fa Ma, and Hai Bodong were filled with doubt.

  Fa Ma shook his head, dismissing his earlier thoughts, then spoke with certainty, “There’s no way she’s that young and already a sect leader. If she isn’t using a disguise, she must have some special method to maintain her appearance.”

  “Fa Ma is right. If she’s really a sect leader, why would she participate in a petition for the younger geion? It doesn’t match her status. I suspect she has other motives for entering the capital,” Jia Xing Tian said, his eyes fixed on Xiao Yi Xian, analyzing the situation.

  While Fa Ma and Jia Xing Tian were filled with suspi, Hai Bodong seemed to be there purely out of curiosity, eager to see who the bck-robed figure that had instantly destroyed his Cold Stream earlier in the day was.

  After exging gnces with Fa Ma, Jia Xing Tian spoke to Xiao Yi Xian, “For the sake of ensuring tomorrow’s petition proceeds smoothly, we need you to remove your hat and reveal your true appearance!”

  "Heh, if you’ve got the guts, e and take it off yourself!" Xiao Yi Xian sneered upon hearing Jia Xing Tian’s demand.

  “You’re f me to take a!”

  Jia Xing Tian, who had a naturally fiery temper, had grown cautious due to his role in proteg the royal family, f him to think things through more thhly. However, the appearance of this mysterious and powerful figure in bck within the capital seemed like a potential threat, ohat o be addressed before any unforeseen trouble arose.

  As soon as Jia Xing Tian finished speaking, his figure fshed as he rapidly closed in on Xiao Yi Xian, his hand surging with yellow Dou Qi as he reached for the hat on her head.

  “Hmph!”

  Seeing Jia Xing Tian’s movements, Xiao Yi Xian stood still, not moving an inch. She calmly raised her hand, sending out a beam of gray Dou Qi straight toward him.

  Sensing the power within the gray Dou Qi, which was no weaker than his own, Jia Xing Tian’s pupils shrank. His advang figure slowed, and a thick wall of earth quickly rose in front of him.

  “Boom!”

  The gray Dou Qi beam collided with the earthen wall, produg a resounding explosion of energy.

  Jia Xing Tian’s Dou Qi was earth-elemental, giving him a stronger defense. Having reached the peak of Dou Emperor for many years, his Dou Qi was much more substantial than Xiao Yi Xian’s. As a result, after takitack head-on, the wall remained mostly intact.

  “Oh!”

  “I uimated you. I didn’t expect you to have such strength!”

  Although Jia Xing Tian successfully blocked Xiao Yi Xian’s attack, he, along with Fa Ma and Hai Bodong behind him, were all filled with deep surprise.

  A high-level Dou Emperor from another try had somehow ehe imperial capital without aig and had even openly appeared at the Alchemist Graing. This was nothing short of ironic.

  “Old Jia, didn’t you notiything unusual in her Dou Qi?”

  Fa Ma, standing behind Jia Xing Tian, furrowed his brows and reminded him after witnessing the exge between Jia Xing Tian and Xiao Yi Xian.

  Jia Xing Tian had battled many experts from the Chuyun Empire in the past, so he was very familiar with poisonous Dou Qi. However, in his focused state earlier, it hadn’t crossed his mind.

  Now, with Fa Ma’s reminder, he immediately recalled the familiar sensation.

  “Poison teiques? Are you from the Chuyun Empire?”

  “The Chuyun Empire doesn’t have a female sect master, does it?”

  Jia Xing Tian’s gaze turned fierce as he gred at Xiao Yi Xian, his voice sharp.

  “Haha! Old man, just because you don’t know of a female sect master in the Chuyun Empire doesn’t mean there isn’t one. You’re simply too ignorant!” Xiao Yi Xian chuckled lightly, pletely unfazed by their suspi of her being a Poison Master.

  With her current strength, even if Fa Ma and Hai Bodong joined Jia Xing Tian in battle, she would have no reason to fear them.

  “Well, since you admit to being a Poison Master, you might as well tell us the purpose of your visit to the Jia Ma Empire,” Fa Ma asked with a frown.

  “My purpose? Naturally, it’s to participate in the Alchemist Graing. What, are you pnning to exclude me just because I’m a Poison Master, even though the petition is supposedly open to all alchemists?” Xiao Yi Xian scoffed.

  Hearing her response, Fa Ma’s face darkened. After a long pause, he slowly said, “Of course not. As long as you behave yourself in the capital, we’ll wele you with open arms.”

  Jia Xing Tian, however, appeared flicted. The Chuyun Empire had long been at odds with the Jia Ma Empire, with frequent outbreaks of war. Allowing a Dou Emperor from a rival nation to roam freely in the capital could lead to untrolble sequences.

  After some deliberation, Jia Xing Tian decided to hold off on taking a against Xiao Yi Xian, but he issued a stern warning: “You’d better behave, or I’ll make sure you never leave the Jia Ma Empire!”

  “Heh, what I do is none of your business. If you provoke me, you won’t be able to hahe sequences!”

  In respoo Jia Xing Tian’s threat, Xiao Yi Xian raised her delicate white hand, making a small gesture in the air before turning away, no longer paying attention to the three men.
