In the original story, it took Xiao Yan, who had just entered the Dou Huang realm, Zi Yan, who had advanced to a Sixth-Tier Magical Beast, and Queen Medusa, who was equivalent to a Four-Star Dou Zong, four and a half days to travel from the Gama Emperor City to the heart of the Izumo Empire.
And the location of the Myriad Scorpion Gate was even further away.
After flying to the border and entering the Izumo Empire, Chen Yang used his Dou Qi to wrap around the three of them and spread a pair of Phoenix Soaring Wings, his speed instantly skyrocketing to an exaggerated level.
"Writing this, I hope readers will remember our domain name: Read Taiwan Good Books, choose super awesome ones."
The original "Phoenix Soaring Nine Heavens" belonged to the Earth-rank Low-tier Dou Skill. After merging with the "Phoenix Soaring Step" to become the Earth Rank High-tier "Phoenix Dancing Nine Heavens," the Phoenix Soaring Wings, used purely for traveling, even exceeded the speed of ordinary Di-rank Dou Technique.
Coupled with the fact that a Dou Zong's speed is naturally fast, the journey that would have taken three or four days was covered by Chen Yang in just half a day.
"Whew... thrilling, that was damn thrilling!" Beneath a gloomy cliff near the Myriad Scorpion Gate, Chen Yang found a cave to land in. Xiao Yan summoned the Green Lotus Core Flame to wipe out all the poisonous insects and herbs in the cave while reaching up to tidy his messy hair, exclaiming how thrilling it was.
He had originally planned to chat with Chen Yang on the way and discuss Alchemy Skill and his upcoming Physical Body improvement, but he hadn't been able to utter a single word the entire journey.
As for Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, Chen Yang had used his Dou Qi to erect a barrier to protect them.
As for Xiao Yan, Chen Yang claimed it was to train his willpower and Dou Qi control ability, but he had no intention of protecting him at all.
Yao Lao was also happy to see this, feeling that Xiao Yan indeed needed to be properly trained, so he watched on happily.
This resulted in Xiao Yan, a One-Star Dou Wang, having to endure the cold wind for the entire journey while bearing a speed faster than a Peak Dou Zong.
This was only because his Physical Body was comparable to a weaker Sixth-Tier Magical Beast; otherwise, relying solely on his pitiful amount of Dou Qi, he wouldn't have been able to make it this far.
"We will rest for one night today. Tomorrow at noon, we will storm into the Myriad Scorpion Gate, kill Xie Bi Yan directly, preferably wipe out the entire Myriad Scorpion Gate's high-level combat power, and then head to the Forbidden Land of the Myriad Scorpion Gate!" Chen Yang glanced at Xiao Yan, raised his hand to pop a Medicinal Pill for recovering Dou Qi into his mouth, and instructed softly.
"Kill Xie Bi Yan and the high-level combat power of the Myriad Scorpion Gate? Doesn't that mean destroying the Myriad Scorpion Gate?" Xiao Yan was stunned upon hearing this. "Although Yan Li has offended us, it shouldn't be enough for us to wipe out the entire Myriad Scorpion Gate, right?"
Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin also cast curious glances. Although they unconditionally supported Chen Yang's decision, they were ultimately a bit curious—could it be that this Myriad Scorpion Gate had also offended their husband (Young Master)?
"There is a shadow of the Hall of Souls behind the Myriad Scorpion Gate. I have received information that a Soul Hall Protector might be in the Myriad Scorpion Gate right now. We killed Protector Wu, so we are already in a life-and-death feud with the Hall of Souls. Moreover, the harm done to your teacher is also related to the Hall of Souls."
"Besides, the people of this Izumo Empire, if not all wicked to the core, are at the very least law-breaking criminals. Killing them can be considered a good deed!"
The two characters "Izumo" were first seen in the myths of the Little Japan, and since modern times, Little Japan has also had the Izumo-class cruiser and the Izumo-class helicopter destroyer. Simply put, these two characters represent the Little Japan.
And the Izumo Empire on the Fighting Qi Continent is basically the world of poison masters. It is understandable if you don't Cultivate Poison-attribute Dou Qi in the Izumo Empire, but if you don't play with poison when you go out and don't kill people at will, your peers will really look down on you.
Therefore, Chen Yang had absolutely no burden in killing the people of this country, not to mention that the Myriad Scorpion Gate was also colluding with the Hall of Souls.
"The Myriad Scorpion Gate is actually colluding with the Hall of Souls?" Xiao Yan's expression changed instantly upon hearing this. After the incident with Protector Wu at the Cloud Mist Sect last time, Yao Lao had told him about the Hall of Souls and mentioned that his own victimization was related to the Hall of Souls, so Xiao Yan was shocked by the fact that the Myriad Scorpion Gate was colluding with the Hall of Souls.
"Yes!" Chen Yang nodded.
"I understand, Brother Yang." Xiao Yan said, taking out a Medicinal Pill for recovering Dou Qi and stuffing it into his mouth, then sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to recover.
"It should be no problem for Qing Lin and me to deal with some Dou Wang level characters!" Xiao Yi Xian said upon hearing Chen Yang's words.
She had successfully broken through to the Dou Wang realm in the past few days. Although she was only a One-Star Dou Wang, relying on the power of the Calamity Poison Body, especially when dealing with some Izumo Empire experts who mainly used poison, she appeared to have more of an advantage.
"White Fang can also participate in the battle!" Qing Lin said, her pupils flickering with light as the imposing Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor flew out.
Because this guy had protected the Xiao Family last time, Chen Yang kept his promise and bestowed it a Medicinal Pill. Now, White Fang was equivalent to an Eight-Star Dou Huang, and combined with the Physical Body of a Demonic Beast, even an ordinary Peak Dou Huang might not necessarily be able to gain any advantage against it.
"You must be careful!" Chen Yang nodded and did not refuse to let them participate in the battle.
He had brought Xiao Yan along this time; if Xie Bi Yan's strength was at the Three-Star Dou Zong level or above, he would trigger the System mechanism and instantly become stronger than Xie Bi Yan.
And if Xie Bi Yan was only a Two-star Dou Zong or below, he could kill the opponent with one sword strike.
As for that Iron Protector, a piece of trash whose performance in the original plot was not even as good as Protector Wu, he could also crush him to death with one finger.
Therefore, there was absolutely no need to worry about the safety of Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin.
