Chapter 382: Xiao Yi Xian is Followed!

After leaving the venue, Xiao Yi Xian headed towards a certain inn in the city. 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 sense that the three people following her were the same three Dou Emperor experts who had been seated on the high platform during the day.

Realizing she was being followed, Xiao Yi Xian quickened her pace and soon entered a somewhat secluded alleyway.

"Come out!"

Once in 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 exchanged glances, suddenly realizing the truth.

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

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

“The strength of my sect is not something you three can comment 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 competition for the younger generation? 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 suspicion, Hai Bodong seemed to be there purely out of curiosity, eager to see who the black-robed figure that had instantly destroyed his Cold Stream earlier in the day was.

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

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

“You’re forcing me to take action!”

Jia Xing Tian, who had a naturally fiery temper, had grown cautious due to his role in protecting the royal family, forcing him to think things through more thoroughly. However, the appearance of this mysterious and powerful figure in black within the capital seemed like a potential threat, one that needed to be addressed before any unforeseen trouble arose.

As soon as Jia Xing Tian finished speaking, his figure flashed 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 advancing 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, producing 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 taking her attack head-on, the wall remained mostly intact.

“Oh!”

“I underestimated 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 country had somehow entered the imperial capital without anyone noticing and had even openly appeared at the Alchemist Grand Meeting. This was nothing short of ironic.

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

Fa Ma, standing behind Jia Xing Tian, furrowed his brows and reminded him after witnessing the exchange 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 techniques? 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 glared 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, completely unfazed by their suspicion 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 Grand Meeting. What, are you planning to exclude me just because I’m a Poison Master, even though the competition 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 welcome you with open arms.”

Jia Xing Tian, however, appeared conflicted. 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 uncontrollable consequences.

After some deliberation, Jia Xing Tian decided to hold off on taking action 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 handle the consequences!”

In response to 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.
