Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Page 285

Little Fairy Doctor looked at Xiao Fan approaching her with a sinister smile that sent chills down Xiao Fan's spine.

So, Xiao Fan's original expectation of traveling around with beautiful women in his arms turned out to be completely wrong. Instead, both women neglected him, making his journey extremely difficult.

However, on their way back, although they didn't deliberately inquire, Xiao Fan and his group still managed to deduce the current situation within the Izumo Empire from the conversations of the crowd.

The actions of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect in Zhan Yun City have completely erupted within the Chu Yun Empire, causing a huge uproar among the masses.

At first, everyone thought it was a rumor, but as the people of Zhan Yuncheng fled, the rumor was completely debunked. However, the most important reason was that Tianxianglou personally intervened!

The manager of Tianxiang Tower in Tianrong City personally made an appearance and erected a huge stone tablet outside the tower, engraving all the deeds of the Wanxie Sect in Zhanyun City on it. This action truly caused the people of the Chuyun Empire to erupt completely.

"The Sikou family will certainly not let this opportunity pass them by."

As Xiao Fan listened to the discussions of the crowd around him, a strange light flashed in his eyes. Now that the Wanxie Sect's actions towards Zhan Yuncheng had been exposed, it was precisely the time when the people of the Chuyun Empire had grievances against them.

Therefore, the royal family intervened, gradually amplifying the impact of this public opinion. By leveraging the influence of Tianxianglou within the Chuyun Empire, they subtly influenced the public's consciousness, causing everyone to begin to resist Wanxiemen.

After all, if the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect waits until they realize what's going on, it probably won't be long before anyone stops talking about it.

"I never imagined that the conflict between the Sikou family and the Wanxie Sect had completely erupted."

As Xiao Fan and his companions walked through the city, Little Fairy Doctor frowned slightly upon hearing Xiao Fan's words and spoke up.

"By the way, did you promise the Sikou family that you would help them deal with the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect?"

Xiao Fan turned to look at Little Fairy Doctor and asked curiously.

After hearing Xiao Fan's words, Little Fairy Doctor paused for a moment before speaking, "Well... back in the Chuyun Empire, my strength hadn't improved yet, and Si Kou Ning... helped me a lot. Later, I gradually started trading with the Si Kou family to help them deal with the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect."

When this matter was brought up, a hint of hesitation flashed across Little Fairy Doctor's face, and she stammered as she spoke to Xiao Fan.

Looking at Xiao Yixian's expression, Xiao Fan hesitated for a moment, then remembered Si Kou Ning's words and knew that Xiao Yixian must have gone through something. He didn't ask her directly, but planned to ask her when he saw Si Kou Ning next time.

Little Fairy Doctor breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Xiao Fan didn't ask any further questions, and then she stopped talking.

Seeing that Little Fairy Doctor was in a bad mood, Yun Yun roughly guessed what was going on. She took Little Fairy Doctor's hand, changed the subject, and led her to stroll around the streets.

As Xiao Fan watched the two women's departing figures, a smile appeared on his face, and You Ruo's face involuntarily surfaced in his mind...

......

In the Central Plains, an unnamed region, within a branch of the Soul Palace.

"Guardian, what brings you here?"

Mo Shang, wearing a black mask and a black robe, appeared in the main hall without revealing any trace of his presence. Looking at the Eagle Protector in front of him, he asked curiously.

"It doesn't matter."

Upon hearing Mo Shang's words, Eagle Protector revealed a rare smile on his face. He then waved his hand, and a bottle of pills landed directly in front of Mo Shang.

Looking at the motionless Mo Shang, Protector Eagle said, "Hehe, this is the reward for escorting Yao Chen last time. It's useless to me. You can take it to improve your strength."

Upon hearing Protector Ying's words, Mo Shang raised an eyebrow slightly beneath his mask, respectfully accepted the pill, and then said, "Thank you, Protector."

"Ah."

The Eagle Protector responded indifferently, then looked at Mo Shang standing there and asked curiously, "Is there anything else?"

Eagle Protector knew that Mo Shang was only focused on improving his own strength and never cared about anything else. Moreover, he was extremely obedient to him, which was why Eagle Protector was willing to transfer his share of resources to Mo Shang.

Otherwise, even though his physique is poor and he can only absorb a small portion of these pills, it's better than nothing. Why leave them for Mo Shang?

Mo Shang hesitated for a moment, then bowed to Protector Eagle and said, "This... Protector, as you know, I am also an alchemist. Having met the Medicine Venerable, I naturally want to meet him. If I could receive a word or two of guidance from him, perhaps I..."

Upon hearing Mo Shang's words, the Eagle Protector's face showed a hint of interest.

Mo Shang is now a treasure of their palace. He is outstanding in strength, has amazing talent, and also has a talent for alchemy. More importantly, he is very obedient to their orders, which makes Protector Eagle and the person behind him very appreciative.

Now, when Eagle Protector heard Mo Shang's words, he couldn't help but wonder if what he said was feasible.

However, Yao Chen's identity and background are quite significant, and not many people in the palace know where he is imprisoned. If Mo Shang really wants to have contact with Yao Chen, probably only a high-ranking figure would be qualified.

"Okay, I'll try my best to help you with this. You can go now. I'll let you know if there's any new information."

The Eagle Protector remained silent for a moment before nodding and then dismissing Mo Shang.

After Mo Shang left, Protector Eagle moved and disappeared from the main hall, heading towards a solemn hall behind it.

"Eagle Protector, please show the Venerable One's warrant!"

At the entrance of the main hall, when Protector Eagle arrived, two figures suddenly appeared in front of him, sized him up, and spoke.

Eagle Protector showed no surprise at the appearance of the two men. He reached out and took out a peculiar token, and with a tremor in the space, the two Soul Hall guards vanished from their spot. Judging from their methods, their proficiency with spatial power suggests they had likely reached the level of a high-level Dou Zong.

Without the guards' obstruction, Protector Eagle, relying on the token in his hand, passed through unimpeded and soon arrived at a side hall inside the main hall.

"What is it?" After Eagle Protector stepped into the side point, a phantom figure suddenly appeared behind him, its faint voice echoing in the empty hall.

When the Eagle Protector saw the mysterious methods used by the newcomer, he was not surprised at all, after all, it was just a projection clone.

"Father!"

Eagle Protector bowed respectfully to the other party and then said, "Mo Shang wants to meet the Medicine Venerable and see if he can learn some medicine-making experience from him."

"Don't be hurt..."

Upon hearing Eagle Protector's words, the illusory figure murmured. He had already secretly observed Mo Shang. Since the other party was so obedient, he didn't mind giving him a hand. After all, even if the other party had any other intentions, to him, they were nothing more than ants that could be suppressed with a clap of his hand.

"Forget about Yao Chen. Yao Chen is of great importance and Mo Shang cannot be allowed to come into contact with him. However, we can ask those seventh-grade alchemists in the hall to give Mo Shang some guidance."

As soon as he finished speaking, the illusory figure turned his gaze to the Eagle Protector. A faint hint of gentleness flashed in his sinister eyes, and he said, "Your path of cultivation is fraught with difficulty. It's all because the people from the Pill Tower attacked your mother before you were even born. Don't worry, they will soon pay the price for what they did back then. Pill Tower, humph!"

Upon hearing the other party's words, the Eagle Protector shook his head, a hint of relief appearing on his face. He said, "Forget it, I've already accepted my fate. Even if you help me reforge my body, it still won't solve this problem. The only thing that can solve this problem, the Bodhi Heart, is extremely rare, and probably only a few families have some left. But thinking about it, it's unlikely that we'll get it."

Protector Eagle chuckled and said, "It's fine as it is. My biggest gain from this trip to the Northwest Continent is Mo Shang. As long as Mo Shang is trained, even if they have opinions about me, they will still have to keep their tails between their legs in front of me."

"Okay, you go down first!"

The illusory figure listened to the Eagle Protector's words, a hint of helplessness on his face. He then waved his hand and stood there for a long time after the Eagle Protector left.

Recalling his son's arrogant demeanor in the palace in the past, and considering his relaxed state of mind now, he even began to wonder if his son had been possessed.

However, given his cultivation level, it was impossible for him not to be able to tell. Seeing his son being so sensible, he couldn't help but feel greatly gratified.

"Don't be hurt..." The illusory figure murmured with a smile on its lips, and then disappeared from the spot.

......

Chapter 83 War begins

Swish!

Several figures flew across the sky. Xiao Fan looked at a corner of Tianrong City that appeared not far away, and a relaxed expression appeared on his face.

Who would have thought that after finding Little Fairy Doctor, he could travel around and enjoy himself, but neither of the two women gave Xiao Fan a kind look, and the journey was extremely agonizing.

Before, I could share a room with Yunyun and enjoy the pleasure of having my lap as a pillow, but now, that's all gone!

Not only that, Xiao Fan wasn't even qualified to live with Yun Yun, the Little Fairy Doctor. Along the way, when they were camping, the two women used the excuse of making Xiao Fan responsible for guarding the area to kick him out. When they finally entered the city, the two women stayed with him, giving Xiao Fan absolutely no chance.

Five days! A full five days! Do you know how Xiao Fan spent those five days?!

Now that Tianrong City was in sight, Xiao Fan's face showed a hint of relief.

The conflict between the Izumo Empire's royal family and the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect has been laid bare. The Izumo royal family is now going all out. If they win, they can continue to exist; if they lose, the emperor of the Izumo Empire will probably have to be replaced.

boom!

Just as the three approached Tianrong City, an explosion suddenly rang out from within the city in the distance, followed by several bursts of energy from a clash.

......

"Lord Qi, you should just surrender."

On a bustling street in Tianrong City, a densely packed army of armored soldiers stood ready for battle. In the center of the street, a dignified middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back, coldly observing the surrounding troops.

"What, Your Highness, do you not know what my Qi Marquis's mansion has done to warrant such a large-scale operation to arrest me?"

This man is none other than Qi Li, the Marquis of the Izumo Empire, and also the father of the current Empress Qi Siqi.

But at this moment, the noble Marquis of the Izumo Empire was surrounded by the royal army on the most bustling street in Tianrong City, and the whole city was filled with a grim atmosphere.

"Click-clack..."

As Qi Li finished speaking, the army in front of him neatly dispersed to both sides, revealing a passage ten feet wide. At the end of the passage, Si Kou Shisan, dressed in a bright yellow python robe, strolled over.

"Hehe, Lord Qi, now that the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect has committed such an outrageous act, my Sikou family, as the royal family of the Chuyun Empire, cannot tolerate their continued existence. Even if we are left with only one person, we will fight the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect to the death!"

An excited expression appeared on Si Kou Shisan's pale face, and his impassioned words, amplified by his battle qi, resounded throughout Tianrong City.

"it is good!"

"His Highness the Thirteenth Prince is right. The Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect should not exist in this world because of its heinous acts. The royal family's actions are actually a blessing for us. Otherwise, if it was Zhan Yun City this time, who can guarantee that the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect won't use other cities as test subjects next time?"

"Well said! We will always support the royal family and the Sikou family!"

"Your Highness, justice must be served for our fallen compatriots..."

.......

As soon as Sikou Shisan finished speaking, the people outside the army heard his voice and became excited, cheering loudly and shouting to him.

Qi Li, who was surrounded in the arena, showed a hint of surprise when he heard Si Kou Shisan's words. However, he was a man who had seen a lot in the world and did not show any weakness. He watched coldly as Si Kou Shisan continued to incite the people's anger against the Wan Xie Sect.

"His Highness the Thirteenth Prince is quite the schemer!"

Qi Li looked at Si Kou Shisan in the army, cupped his hands to him, and said, "With just a few words, you directly stirred up conflict between the Wanxie Sect and the people of the Chuyun Empire, turning the two into complete adversaries. Even I have to say that everyone's understanding of His Highness Shisan is still too shallow!"
