Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Page 291

Aside from the smooth refining process, Mu Gu couldn't see anything about Mo Shang that Yao Chen should pay attention to. Bored, Mu Gu stayed at the back of the main hall and didn't pay much attention to them.

As for whether he was worried that Mo Shang would let Yao Chen go?

Let alone Mo Shang being only a Dou Huang, even if he were a Dou Zong, it would be impossible for him to break the spatial confinement around Yao Chen. Moreover, with such a commotion, did they really think that all the Dou Zun in the hall were dead?

Neither Mu Gu nor Mo Shang nor Yao Lao paid any attention to Mu Gu's departure.

Mo Shang began to demonstrate the pill formulas he had mastered to Yao Lao in a methodical manner. However, after refining several first-order pills, Yao Lao looked at him with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"Okay, stop."

The old apothecary looked at Mo Shang and said in a calm tone, "You want my guidance, but you only try to fool me with low-grade pills. Are you trying to make fun of me?"

The old doctor's tone was somewhat gloomy, and his face looked very cold. Anyone who saw this scene would think that he was impatient with Mo Shang's disturbance and was starting to drive him away.

......

"See, I told you, it's not that easy to get guidance from Yao Chen. He didn't agree when the Palace Master asked, so how could he possibly change his mind?"

“That’s right. However, Mo Shang is not bad either. Judging from what Elder Mu Gu said just now, it seems that some adults in the hall have already noticed him.”

"Who cares? Our task now is to guard Yao Chen. Anyway, the reward for completing this task might allow me to advance even further."

In the shadows, where Mo Shang and the others couldn't detect it, the two peak Dou Zong experts guarding the place overheard Yao Lao's words and began exchanging whispers.

Although Mu Gu has left, and Mo Shang is unlikely to do anything that would harm the interests of the Soul Palace, the necessary vigilance is still required.

......

"Please forgive me, senior. These are some pill formulas that I obtained when I first came into contact with the art of alchemy. They have had a profound influence on me, so I wanted to show them to you. I hope you can forgive me."

Mo Shang felt no tension at all at what the old doctor said, but he had to play his part completely. He put on a panicked look, bowed to the old doctor, and began to explain.

After speaking, Mo Shang saw that Yao Lao's expression had eased slightly, so he didn't linger. After refining several more kinds of pills, he took his leave.

Although Yao Lao did not speak, he watched Mo Shang's refining technique the whole time. From the moment Mo Shang intended to refine the body tempering liquid, Yao Lao had a hint of doubt in his heart.

Later, when he saw that all the pills Mo Shang refined were the same ones he had given to Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan in Wutan City, he understood Mo Shang's identity.

Yao Lao knew Xiao Yan's talent well. Even if he had some fortuitous encounters, it was impossible for him to have reached his current level in such a short time. Moreover, when Yao Lao looked at Mo Shang's figure, he had a strange feeling that this was his disciple who was always wandering around.

As Mo Shang gradually disappeared into the distance, Yao Lao's expression remained unchanged. He slowly closed his eyes, but felt a sense of tenderness in his heart.

He knew his disciple would come to his rescue sooner or later, but he did not expect that Xiao Fan had infiltrated the Soul Palace so quickly, and it seemed that he was highly valued by the higher-ups in the Soul Palace.

On the one hand, he was surprised that Xiao Fan had infiltrated the Soul Palace so quickly, but on the other hand, listening to Mu Gu's introduction, he was worried that the higher-ups of the Soul Palace would discover his identity and bring about his death. After all, the methods of the Soul Palace were hard to guard against and he could not afford to be careless.

Mu Gu led Mo Shang out of the hall, surprised by Yao Chen's attitude towards Mo Shang.

It should be noted that Yao Chen had never shown any kindness to the people of the Soul Palace in the past. Although Yao Chen also mocked Mo Shang today, at least Mo Shang gained something from it.

"Elder, I would like to continue to interact with Venerable Medicine in the future, hoping to receive some guidance from him. I wonder..."

As Mo Shang approached the entrance of the main hall, he turned to look at Mu Gu, bowed respectfully, and spoke.

Upon hearing Mo Shang's words, Mu Gu hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Alright, you can have a brief encounter with Yao Chen for now. Your talent for alchemy is quite good, and you've only recently joined the Soul Hall. Perhaps Yao Chen is only willing to interact with you because of this."

Whether it was his imagination or not, when Mo Shang heard Mu Gu's words, he felt that Mu Gu's gaze was intentionally or unintentionally falling on him.

"I am terrified. Since I have joined the Soul Hall, I have long been loyal to the Soul Hall. How could I have any other thoughts?"

"Hehe, I didn't say anything to you, go back now."

Upon hearing Mo Shang's words, Mu Gu smiled and patted Mo Shang's shoulder. He then pointed to the Eagle Protector waiting outside the hall and spoke to Mo Shang.

Mo Shang looked up and nodded to Protector Eagle, and Mu Gu beside him disappeared.

For the next period of time, Mo Shang frequently went to the main hall where Yao Chen was imprisoned, constantly demonstrating his alchemy skills.

Yao Chen's attitude changed from initial indifference to gradual mockery, and eventually he would occasionally offer a word of advice to Mo Shang.

However, each time he subtly advised Mo Shang to leave the Soul Palace as soon as possible, not to make deals with a tiger, and not to waste his great talent here.

As Mo Shang appeared more frequently, no one tried to break the strange relationship between him and Yao Chen.

After all, it seems that Yao Chen has a different feeling towards Mo Shang. The higher-ups of the Soul Palace are thinking that perhaps through their interactions with Mo Shang, they can change Yao Chen's view of the Soul Palace and bring him into the Soul Palace.

......

The Izumo Empire.

The royal family acted swiftly, eradicating all members of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect within Tianrong City in just one day. Even the smaller and medium-sized forces that had secretly allied with the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect were not spared and were all destroyed.

With the end of this lightning-fast battle, the fight between the Sikou Royal Family and the Wanxie Sect officially began.

Countless forces hurriedly gathered their disciples and made arrangements to try their best to weather this upheaval.

Many faction leaders also harbored ulterior motives, placing their bets on one particular faction.

Inside Tianxiang Tower, Xiao Fan and his group didn't have to wait long. After receiving the information from Tianxiang Tower and hearing that Xiao Fan and his group had returned, Si Kou Shisan rushed over without stopping.

Even the battlefield he was commanding, which was still ongoing, was directly handed over to another leader of the Imperial Guard.

However, before rushing back, he also sent people to the palace to inform Princess Sikou Ning.

On the upper floor of Tianxiang Tower, Xiao Fan sat idly on the sofa, looking at Yun Yun and Xiao Yixian sitting on the other side. A hint of resentment rose on his face. For so long, without a lap pillow or a massage, he could only slump on the sofa by himself.

Little Fairy Doctor and Yun Yun acted as if they hadn't seen Xiao Fan, ignoring him completely. The two women sat on the sofa, whispering to each other, occasionally glaring at Xiao Fan, and even using their battle qi to block his senses, so that Xiao Fan had no idea what they were talking about.

Fortunately, sensing Si Kou Shisan's presence, all three turned their gaze towards the stairwell.

"Forehead......"

Si Kou Shisan, who had just poked his head out from the stairwell, felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the three men's gazes.

If he hadn't been so patient and patient for so long, he would have already collapsed down the stairs.

How could a mere Dou Wang withstand the gazes of a Dou Zong and two Dou Huang?

"Cough cough..."

Taking advantage of a cough, Si Kou Shisan's face showed a hint of nervousness as he asked Xiao Fan and the others, "Um... did I come at the wrong time?"

"No, you came just in time!"

Xiao Fan spoke subconsciously, then frowned, looked at Si Kou Shisan, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes. Si Kou Shisan, on the other hand, felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason, but he didn't pay any attention to it.

Si Kou Shisan went straight upstairs, walked up to Xiao Fan and the other two, bowed to them, and then said to Xiao Fan, "Congratulations, sir, your wish has come true."

Xiao Fan simply waved his hand at Si Kou Shisan's words, ignoring them, and then said after gesturing for Si Kou Shisan to sit down, "Speaking of which, I was able to find her thanks to your reminder."

If Sikou Shisan hadn't reminded them, they wouldn't have gone to Dinggu City, and naturally they wouldn't have met Little Fairy Doctor.

However, one thing is one thing, and now is not the time to discuss this matter. Xiao Fan did not give Si Kou Shisan a chance to dodge the question, but asked directly: "How does the Si Kou family plan to fight against the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect?"

Si Kou Shisan hadn't expected Xiao Fan to be so straightforward. Little did he know that Xiao Fan had now entered the Dou Zong realm. With the Radiant Sun Nine Transformations, he could deal with Xie Biyan, a lower-level Dou Zong of the fourth star. Even if there was still a gap, it probably wouldn't be too big. He was confident that he could lead Xiao Yixian and the others to escape unscathed, so he naturally had unlimited confidence.

Moreover, Xiao Yixian has already found out about the changes that have occurred in the Jia Ma Empire, and Xiao Fan is eager to return, so he naturally doesn't want to waste any more time on the Si Kou family's schemes.

Chapter 92 Si Kou Qingtian

When Si Kou Shisan heard Xiao Fan's question, his expression stiffened slightly. Then, he looked at Xiao Fan as if nothing had happened and said, "Well, although the royal family has been hampered by the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect in recent years, we have also cultivated and won over many strong individuals."

"However, Xie Biyan's strength has always been an insurmountable mountain for us."

As Si Kou Shisan spoke, he shook his head with a wry smile, a hint of just the right amount of relief flashing across his face, and said, "Fortunately, we later met Tian Du Nu, and after we reached a cooperation agreement, we had the confidence to deal with the Wan Xie Sect."

Xiao Fan listened to Si Kou Shisan's words without changing his expression. He remained slumped on the sofa, but his tone was much colder.

"Oh?"

Xiao Fan looked at Si Kou Shisan, and as he finished speaking, his voice gradually turned cold, and his gaze towards Si Kou Shisan carried a hint of chill.

"Back then, she had only just advanced to the Dou Zong level. Why would a Dou Zong give you so much confidence, making you believe she could fight against Xie Biyan, a four-star Dou Zong? Moreover, Xie Biyan was accompanied by the Blood Scorpion Demon Emperor..."

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Si Kou Shisan felt a pang of panic, and his expression froze for a moment. However, he smiled and shook his head, saying, "Alas, there's nothing we can do about it."

Si Kou Shisan glanced up at Xiao Fan midway through, and seeing that Xiao Fan's expression remained unchanged, his heart skipped a beat. He continued, "If we don't resist the suppression from the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect over the years, I'm afraid our Si Kou family will become history in two years."

"My brother had already made the decision to fight to the death with the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, but he was just waiting for an opportunity. Getting to know the Heavenly Poison Woman was just a way to reassure us."

Xiao Fan sized up Si Kou Shisan, and he didn't believe a single word of Si Kou Shisan's explanation.

Since they knew it concerned the life and death of the Sikou family, how could they possibly place all their precious treasures on Little Fairy Doctor?

Not to mention that they were not familiar with Little Fairy Doctor, how could they believe that Little Fairy Doctor, who had just broken through to the Dou Zong level, could contend with Scorpion Bi Yan? Furthermore, how could they be sure that Little Fairy Doctor would definitely take action?

It concerns the life and death of a centuries-old dynasty. Xiao Fan doesn't believe that they would be so open and honest with each other just because Si Kou Ning introduced them.

After all, Pei Yuan's gesture of handing Xiao Qing to Little Fairy Doctor had made Xiao Fan think.

When Sikou Ning first met Little Fairy Doctor, although he was unaware of the specific details, he was being harassed by the son of a city lord, so his strength was probably not outstanding.

After that, in such a short time, he advanced all the way to the Dou Zong realm. What's more, most of the poisons in Little Fairy Doctor's possession were exchanged from the royal family of the Izumo Empire. Xiao Fan simply did not believe that the royal family had no suspicions about Little Fairy Doctor.

The Izumo Empire is a place where poison masters are everywhere. Other empires may not be very familiar with the Calamity Poison Body, but in Izumo, probably no one is unaware of this physique that poison masters dream of.

However, since no evidence could be found, and because of his presence, Little Fairy Doctor was not harmed at all. On the contrary, the royal family indirectly helped Little Fairy Doctor grow so quickly, so Xiao Fan did not intend to care too much about it now.

Seeing that Xiao Fan didn't say anything more, Si Kou Shisan sat down in his seat with a gloomy expression.

He was a man of deep thoughts, otherwise he wouldn't have the strength of a Battle King. However, he always pretended to be sickly in public in order to deceive the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect.

Although the strength of the Fighting King is not much, it has given Si Kou Thirteen a lot of room to maneuver.

Just like this surprise attack on the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect's stronghold.

Si Kou Shisan's arrangement for Tianxiang Tower was based on an intelligence gap. He took advantage of the Wanxie Sect's inaccurate intelligence to successfully uproot the Wanxie Sect's influence in Tianrong City.
