Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Page 255

As the crowd gradually dispersed, the four elders of the Snake-People clan appeared in the secret chamber.

"You can't take that risk."

The First Elder looked at You Ruo and said with a serious expression, "You are currently pregnant and your breathing is unstable. If you participate in the battle with the Yunlan Sect, it may cause your strength to drop."

Upon hearing this, You Ruo glanced at the First Elder indifferently, and then said, "Why don't the four of you make a trip?"

"this......"

"no!"

The Second Elder and the Third Elder exchanged a glance, but before they could speak, the First Elder interrupted them, saying directly, "The four of us are responsible for protecting the clan's heritage and cannot leave for even a moment. This is our mission. It is absolutely impossible for us to help the Xiao family deal with the Yunlan Sect."

The Fourth Elder opened his mouth as if to say something, but seeing the First Elder's resolute expression, he ultimately said nothing.

"Isn't that the end?"

Upon hearing the Grand Elder's words, You Ruo gave a mocking smile, then firmly stated, "There's no room for discussion on this matter. No matter what, we must participate in the struggle between the Xiao family and the Yunlan Sect. I don't want to leave him with a broken Xiao family when he returns."

Seeing You Ruo's attitude, the Grand Elder knew he couldn't persuade her. He frowned and could only helplessly wave his sleeves and leave.

Once only You Ruo was left, she glanced down at her lower abdomen, gently stroking it with her right hand. A tender expression, unlike anything she had ever seen before, appeared on her face as she murmured to herself, "It's just the Yunlan Sect. With my strength as a three-star Dou Zong, as long as I'm careful, nothing will happen..."

......

After leaving the territory of the Snake-People, Xiao Yan easily made his way to the territory of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

Before he even got close, Xiao Yan heard a series of booming sounds coming from inside.

"Where did the battle fluctuations come from?"

Xiao Yan frowned slightly, then turned around and rushed towards the place where the battle was taking place, and soon saw the two people fighting.

"boom!"

Zi Yan's fair and delicate hand swung down, hitting a miniature version of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, knocking it down from mid-air and causing it to sink into the ground, creating a deep crater.

Xiao Yan looked closely and discovered that the ground was riddled with more than a dozen deep pits of varying sizes. He couldn't help but look at Zi Yan and Kai Jin with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

"Huh? Xiao Yan, what brings you here!"

Zi Yan also noticed Xiao Yan appearing in the distance. A look of joy flashed across her face, and she quickly flew to Xiao Yan's side, asking, "Xiao Yan! Tell me quickly, are you going back to Canaan Academy?"

Since Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan left, Zi Yan has been staying with You Ruo in the Snake-People tribe. Every day, she follows You Ruo around hunting wild game and snatching spiritual herbs from the mouths of some magical beasts, which makes Zi Yan quite uncomfortable.

However, You Ruo later had to deal with matters concerning the snake people and could no longer stay with Zi Yan, so Zi Yan ran away on her own.

However, Zi Yan was incredibly powerful and was about to break through to the Dou Huang realm, so You Ruo didn't bother with her. Later, Zi Yan gradually became friends with Kai Jin.

He takes Kaijin around all day, and the two of them are always arguing about who is the boss. They have to fight every day to determine their status for the rest of the day.

Although these days made Zi Yan very happy, what she longed for was still to improve her strength as soon as possible, break through to the Dou Huang level, and then transform back into human form.

Chapter 42 Poison Sect (No more chapters, go to sleep now)

Upon hearing Zi Yan's question, Xiao Yan's face showed a bitter expression. He replied to Zi Yan, "Not yet. I came here to find the Lion King, but when I sensed the battle fluctuations here, I rushed over."

"Ok."

When Zi Yan heard that they weren't going back to Canaan Academy yet, a helpless expression appeared on her face, but she forgot about it in an instant.

"Looking for my father?"

Kai Jingang crawled out of the pit on the ground and heard Xiao Yan's words. He flew to the two of them and asked curiously.

"Ah."

Xiao Yan nodded, and then the three of them flew towards the territory of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

Following behind Kai Jin, Xiao Yan quickly arrived at the location of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. Looking at the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King lying on the spot like a small mountain, Xiao Yan did not stand on ceremony and directly stated his purpose.

"Lion King, I have come here to ask you for a favor..."

Xiao Yan did not reveal Yao Lao's information to them, but only mentioned the conflict between the Yunlan Sect and the Xiao family. After all, the fewer people who knew about Yao Lao, the better. Just like when they were discussing things inside the Snake-People's Lost Realm, You Ruo did not reveal Yao Lao's existence, but only mentioned the conflict between the Xiao family and the Yunlan Sect.

Otherwise, if the four elders of the Snake-People Clan knew that Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan were disciples of the Medicine Venerable and that they were only fighting the Yunlan Sect to protect the Medicine Venerable, they would forget about the mission of protecting the clan's heritage and would have turned the Yunlan Sect upside down.

After hearing Xiao Yan's request, the Amethyst Winged Lion King nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, I said I would repay this favor when Xiao Fan saved my son."

The Amethyst Winged Lion King took a pale purple crystal from its back and handed it to Xiao Yan, saying, "When you need me, crush this crystal. I will be able to sense your location and come to you."

Xiao Yan took the crystal from the Lion King's hand, a look of excitement on his face. He solemnly put it into his storage ring, then cupped his hands to the Lion King and said, "In that case, I won't disturb you any longer. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

Zi Yan originally wanted to leave with Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan still needed to find the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire and the Guter family, so he did not agree. However, he told Zi Yan that she could come with You Ruo later.

......

After a long journey, Xiao Fan and Yun Yun had arrived in Dinggu City in the Chuyun Empire.

The ancient city of Dinggu held a very special position in the Izumo Empire.

Long ago, the capital of the Izumo Empire was not Tianrong City, but Dinggu City. However, at the request of a certain emperor, he strongly opposed the opinions of all his court officials and insisted on moving the capital to Tianrong City.

The emperor at the time was very powerful, so no one could refute him. In addition, Tianrong City had always been a top city in the Chuyun Empire, so this was not considered a threat to the fate of the country. Therefore, the decision was finally made.

Xiao Fan and Yun Yun looked down at the bustling Dinggu City and then landed inside the city in a flash.

Perhaps because Xiao Fan and Yun Yun were faster, the events that happened in Zhan Yun City had not yet reached Ding Gu City, so no one here was discussing what the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect had done to Zhan Yun City.

After surveying the location of Dinggu City, Xiao Fan quickly led Yun Yun into the Tianxiang Tower in Dinggu City.

Since it was Sikou Shisan who reminded him that there might be news about Little Fairy Doctor in Dinggu City, Xiao Yan decided to go directly to Tianxiang Tower to investigate. After all, Tianxiang Tower was originally a place for intelligence work, so this would be making the most of it.

As soon as Xiao Fan and Yun Yun entered Tianxiang Tower, Xiao Fan immediately showed the waist token that Sikou Shisan had given him and instructed the maid, "Immediately arrange for the manager here to come out and see me."

"Yes!"

Upon seeing the waist token in Xiao Fan's hand, the maid's expression instantly turned serious. After carefully examining Xiao Fan and his companion, she arranged for someone to lead them upstairs before immediately going to find the manager in charge of Tianxiang Restaurant.

Before Xiao Fan and his companion had to wait long, a somewhat plump woman walked in, bowed to them, and her expression changed instantly when she saw the waist token in Xiao Fan's hand.

As someone who manages the Tianxiang Pavilion in a region, she could naturally tell that the waist token Xiao Fan held was from the most prestigious members of the Tianxiang Pavilion, and her attitude became even more respectful.

"I wonder what business you have come here to do, sir? My name is Luo Ning. Please feel free to give me your instructions."

Xiao Fan was surprised to find that the manager of Tianxianglou, who was in charge of this place, was such an ordinary-looking woman, but that was not his concern.

Xiao Fan asked directly, "Luo Ning, what forces are there in Dinggu City? Have any mysterious powerful figures appeared in the past two years, or has any force made rapid progress?"

"Forehead......"

Luo Ning was speechless upon hearing Xiao Fan's words. After all, Dinggu City, as the former capital of the Chuyun Empire, was no less magnificent or larger than Tianrong City today.

Countless powerful figures and forces traverse this ancient city every day. How could I possibly discern what this man truly wanted to know based solely on the limited information he provided?

"Don't make trouble."

Yun Yun couldn't help but smile wryly at Xiao Fan's questioning style. She patted Xiao Fan on the shoulder before saying, "Just tell me about the most noteworthy forces in Dinggu City right now."

Upon hearing Yun Yun's words, Luo Ning realized that these two people in front of her probably knew nothing about the situation in Dinggu City. However, since they had badges that represented their identities, she couldn't refuse them. After a moment's thought, she spoke directly.

"There used to be three powerful forces in Dinggu City: the Poisonous Snake Sect, the Hundred Herbs Garden, and the City Lord's Mansion."

"However, the Viper Sect here is just a branch, or rather, a force that has submitted to the Viper Sect. After the Viper Sect was destroyed by the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, the Viper Sect in Dinggu City declined directly. Now, it can only be considered a second-rate force in Dinggu City."

"The relationship between the Hundred Herbs Garden and the City Lord's Mansion appears to be one of brotherly harmony on the surface, but only we know that they have done a lot of dirty tricks on each other. So their harmony is only superficial."

"In recent years, the struggle between Baicao Garden and the City Lord's Mansion has become increasingly intense. In the last two years, there have been several times when they almost lost the facade of harmony and took direct action. However, for some unknown reason, after the leaders of both sides met in private, they began to restrain their subordinates, and the recent fighting has decreased significantly."

"Besides that, the only other group worth keeping an eye on is the recently risen Poison Sect... they..."

"and many more!"

Xiao Fan waved his hand to interrupt Luo Ning, his eyes brightening slightly, and said, "What did you just say, the Poison Sect?"

"That's right, the Poison Sect."

Seeing Xiao Fan's expression, Luo Ning thought she had said something wrong, so she repeated herself and looked at Xiao Fan with a nervous expression.

Xiao Fan suppressed his excitement upon seeing this, because in his memory, the Poison Sect was the force that Little Fairy Doctor later established in the Chuyun Empire. In addition, Si Kou Thirteen said that there was news of Little Fairy Doctor in Dinggu City.

Xiao Fan guessed that, most likely, the Poison Sect was created by Little Fairy Doctor!

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

Having searched for so long, he finally had news of Little Fairy Doctor, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

Having spent so much time together, Yun Yun could tell from the expression on Xiao Fan's face that he must have found a clue about the Little Fairy Doctor. Although she already knew that Xiao Fan's purpose was to find the Little Fairy Doctor, seeing Xiao Fan like this still made Yun Yun feel a little jealous.

"Quickly, tell me in detail about this so-called Poison Sect!"

At this moment, Xiao Fan was completely unaware of Yun Yun's strange behavior and instead excitedly asked Luo Ning a question.

“Uh…” Luo Ning looked at Xiao Fan’s expression changing so many times in such a short time, and dared not be careless. She was not blind, and naturally saw that Xiao Fan’s attitude towards the Poison Sect was very special.

However, since he was just an employee, this matter had nothing to do with him, so he began to introduce the Poison Sect to Xiao Fan.

"The Poison Sect is a sect that has only started appearing in Dinggu City in the last year. However, they do not have a fixed sect address. They only have a few hidden gathering points in the city. Moreover, the poisons used by the members of the Poison Sect are very special."

“There are many poison masters in our Izumo Empire who use poison, and everyone knows how to concoct poisons. But the poison sect uses very special poisons. Every time they make a move, they use poisons that we have never heard of before.”

"Logically speaking, it would be surprising enough for a sect to have one or two troublesome poisons. However, within this Poison Sect, they have made four moves in Dinggu City so far, and each time they have used new types of poisons that have not been circulated outside."

"Moreover, for those who have been poisoned to obtain an antidote, a great deal of effort is required to analyze the properties of the poison and conduct repeated experiments. Even so, it is unknown whether these experimental antidotes are actually effective in detoxifying."

Upon hearing Luo Ning's words, Xiao Fan could barely conceal his smile.

Others may not know the source of these poisons, but Xiao Fan can guess it.
