The Flower King was so surprised. Ye Xiao actually didn’t ask him anything at all. He just let the Flower King go. After all, the Flower King had removed all the reverse impact inside him, and he was much more powerful than before. It was quite easy for him to break the vow and leave for freedom.

‘Does he just trust me so easily?’

The Flower King had walked out a long way, but he was still thinking about it. He was a bit blank.

After thinking for a long time, there was only one thought left in his head. ‘Men should die for the right one. Lord Monarch trusts me so much. I can’t betray him!’

The Flower King made a long shout and became a cloud in the sky. He left.

Ye Xiao walked on the road, and he kept looking back.

Xuan Bing knew what Ye Xiao was thinking about. She felt sad for him. She said to Ye Xiao in a soft voice, trying to comfort him. “Maybe Lian Lian didn’t hear the news about you. Maybe she is in isolated meditation. When we were in the lower realm, we always spent years to stay alone for isolated cultivation. It is possible that she missed your message. Not everybody is as successful as you, living in the Human Realm Upon Heavens for some days and being a famous figure... Don’t worry. We will all meet up again someday.”

Ye Xiao was spirited up, and he said in a deep voice, “That’s right. We will meet up again sooner or later!”

...

In the Foggy Miasma Mountain!

When they came to this mountain again, things were totally different.

Near the mountain.

Ye Xiao looked at the dense fog on the mountain and said solemnly, “Poison King.”

The Poison King hurriedly walked over and said, “Yes, Lord Monarch.”

Ye Xiao said, “In your opinion, with your Worldly Poison Art, what do you think about this poisonous fog?”

The Poison King was careful. He looked over for a while and said, “If I have fully completed the Worldly Poison Art, this poisonous fog means nothing to me. However, I am still weak. I still need time to cultivate the martial art deeper. I don’t think I can get the right conclusion about this by just looking at it. I think I have to get into it.”

Ye Xiao nodded and said, “Right. Go ahead. If this is beyond your capability, come back. Stay safe. You know you are still weak, so don’t push yourself too hard. We still have a long time ahead for you.”

“Yes!”

The Poison King said, and then walked into the dense fog.

Normally, the Poison King wouldn’t set himself into such a dangerous situation.

It was too dangerous.

However, things were changed. He was completely loyal to Ye Xiao, and he felt so happy and fulfilled that he could help Ye Xiao.

Besides, he was weak, but the Worldly Poison Art was brilliant. He was already over ten times stronger than before, which had led him to the fifth level of the Saint Origin Stage already. If he couldn’t figure out the truth about the poisonous fog, he could at least got in and out safely!

Ye Xiao looked at the dense fog and slowly closed his eyes. His spiritual mind had followed the Poison King into the fog.

If the Poison King was in danger, Ye Xiao would drag him out immediately.

As Ye Xiao said, there was still a long time ahead, so he should stay safe.

After a long time.

Something rolled up the fog on the mountain. The Poison King was back. Ye Xiao realized that the Poison King was showing a weird expression. Was he surprised, happy, or astonished? He had no idea.

“How is it? Anything?” Ye Xiao asked.

“Yes, I found something. The poisonous fog is... weird.” The Poison King said, “I am quite successful in cultivating the Worldly Poison Art now. I thought I could walk around the mountain safely, but... When I got into the fog, I felt ill. I started to run my Worldly Poison Art to resist the poison from the air, but it turned out... The poison of the fog... I can actually absorb the poison!”

Ye Xiao raised up his eyebrows and said, “Can you? Really?”

“Yes, I can.” The Poison King decisively said, “I have tried it a few times. I am certain of it.”

Ye Xiao frowned and waved one hand. He released one Silver-scaled Golden-caruncled Snake. The Silver-scaled Golden-caruncled Snake had been nourished by a great amount of treasures, so it had already become an incredibly high-level spiritual beast. The giant snake crawled ahead into the fog.

When it was about to touch the fog, the Silver-scaled Golden-caruncled Snake suddenly stopped and turned over its head. It was staring at Ye Xiao, begging him to stop.

Ye Xiao didn’t say a word. He had given the order, so the snake had to follow. He wouldn’t just change the order so easily.

The Silver-scaled Golden-caruncled Snake hesitated for a while and then moved into the dense fog.

After that, a loud screech sounded in the dense fog!

It was the Silver-scaled Golden-caruncled Snake.

Ye Xiao frowned and abruptly moved into the fog. He was faster than one could describe. After a second, he had already come back with the Silver-scaled Golden-caruncled Snake in his hands.

‘You followed my order to go to the danger, so I will be responsible for your safety!’

The snake was saved, but it wasn’t in good condition. It was dying, and its skins were all corroded. Some scales, although its scales were unbreakable, were totally melted. The soft muscles were disclosed and damaged.

“This snake... It is incurable.” The Poison King got over and checked the snake.

Ye Xiao blandly said, “How come? I am a doctor who brings life back. Men, snakes, any living creatures are the same. They can’t die without my permission.”

Before he finished talking, he had already fed the Silver-scaled Golden-caruncled Snake two dan beads. Suddenly, some rolling purple qi was wrapping the snake up. After that, Ye Xiao reached out one hand and grabbed Erhuo out.

“Bring it back.” Ye Xiao blandly said.

Erhuo looked at the snake and then turned to Ye Xiao. It meowed and made some gestures, saying, “What do you want me to do? What more do you want to be done to the snake? Master, you have improved a lot more now. It is true that you are still weak, but you are at a new stage now. The East-rising Purple Qi is enhanced. The pure purple qi was much better. The two dan beads should be enough to keep the snake alive. It will become well again after some rest. That blow of purple qi you gave it was incredible. This snake can be peerless with that energy. What do you want more? Do you want me to make the snake a god in heavens? Come on. Instead of paying so much attention to this little snake, you should spend more time on the poisonous fog over there. That is something incredible!”

After that, Erhuo made a move and brought the snake back to the Boundless Space!

Ye Xiao didn’t have time to have a quarrel with the cat. He stared at the poisonous fog and came up with a plan.

If the Poison King was telling the truth, he should be able to absorb the poisonous fog. That should boost the Poison King into a much higher level!

Even Erhuo said the fog was incredible. If Erhuo said something was incredible, it must be incredible. Ye Xiao figured he should let Erhuo spend some time on the poison. If the Silver-scaled Golden-caruncled Snakes could absorb the poison, or if Erhuo could make it into some special hidden weapons... When he was fighting Wu Fa, all his demonic weapons were destroyed. After that, he had been improving fast, so he hadn’t thought of using any hidden weapons anymore. Now that he had a lot of special metals, and if he could make use of the poison here... He would become much more powerful!

He would even get a bigger chance to defeat some top-level cultivators!

The Monarch’s Hall didn’t really need him to go back soon. Yue Shuang, Yue Han, and Xuan Bing had improved so much recently, and their foundations were weak. It was better to settle down and spend more time on stabilizing the cultivation improvement.

Ye Xiao made up his mind.

“Let’s stay here for some time. We should try to break the Foggy Miasma Mountain!” Ye Xiao waved a hand and said, “Poison King, you can start cultivating inside the poisonous fog. If the poison of the fog helps your cultivation, and you can absorb the energy from it, just do it. I hope you can reach a higher level of the Worldly Poison Art when we leave this place!”

The Poison King was overjoyed.

When he was inside, he already made sure he could absorb the poison, so he really didn’t want to leave. Ye Xiao’s plan was exactly what he wanted.

The Poison King said yes and then rushed into the dense fog. Everybody saw how happy he was.

Ye Xiao set up the tents before the Foggy Miasma Mountain, waiting for the Poison King to finish cultivating. Every day, he urged Xuan Bing and the two sisters to cultivate and practice in real fights. He was either training his own mind power or stayed in the Boundless Space to work on new weapons!

Time flew. Ten days were gone.

The Poison King had come out once during the ten days. When he was back, he was frozen like an ice pillar. Even his eyebrows were covered by silver frost, and he was shaking.

Ye Xiao poured a strong stream of extreme Yan spiritual qi into his body and saved him from death.

The Poison King set a bonfire and actually sat on the fire. That was such a scene! It surprised everybody else.

After a while, the Poison King was well again. He walked out of the fire and dashed into the poisonous fog again!

Ye Xiao and the others were all shocked.

The Poison King was crazy. He was totally lost in it. He hastily ran back in a hurry, and then ran back into the fog with fire on his butts. He didn’t even thank Ye Xiao for the extreme Yan spiritual energy... He was crazy...

“Let’s go on.” Ye Xiao said.

Yue Shuang and Yue Han wiped the sweats on their foreheads and both drew out their swords. They dashed forward with swords like two flying dragons.

“Stop!” Ye Xiao shouted and stopped the ladies.

Yue Shuang and Yue Han were both shocked, and they stopped moving.

After that, they heard something from far away... It was like something howling... It seemed an army was approaching like tides...

After that, a strong wave of horrible power rushed to the sky.

At the same time, the trees on the mountain all bent in the same direction.

That was powerful enough to push everything down!

It was like the entire world bowing to a king.

The power waves kept coming like tides in the ocean.

“It must be a lot of people coming.” Ye Xiao took a deep breath and said, “According to the power waves, I am afraid over ten thousand people are approaching. I am talking about high-level cultivators!”

He hurriedly turned around and touched his face. After that, he quickly touched Yue Shuang, Yue Han, and Xuan Bing’s faces as well. In the end, he gave each of the three ladies one dan bead. The ladies didn’t hesitate, just swallowed the dan bead immediately.

It was Breath Hiding Dan. It lowered the power waves of a cultivator to a level below the Divinity Origin Stage. The paste Ye Xiao put on the ladies’ faces was the Make-up Disguise Paste from his Boundless Space. Such a high-level treasure had only appeared in this world for the first time.

Ye Xiao just casually put on a little of that paste on the ladies’ faces. Yue Shuang and Yue Han’s soft and delicate skins became dark and rough. Even their necks and hands turned into a different color.

Xuan Bing was till the same face, but her skin became a bit yellow.

Ye Xiao had to do this as a precaution. He didn’t know why those people came to this place. He just couldn’t take the risk. Yue Shuang, Yue Han, and Xuan Bing were definitely three of the ten most beautiful women in the Human Realm Upon Heavens!

If people saw their faces and had some dirty thoughts about the ladies, it might cause huge troubles for him.

After all, these people weren’t just ordinary cultivators. Although he was already much more powerful than before, he couldn’t defeat all those people at the same time.

He disguised his own face too because he didn’t want to be recognized. Maybe some of these men knew him. The three ladies were beautiful and Ye Xiao was a pretty boy as well. What if some people liked men? He couldn’t put himself under that risk either!

Monarch Ye had such a profound thought. What he did had prevented all possible troubles!

As he finished the precautions, a long shout sounded in the sky from far away, as if the sound was solid.

Ye Xiao didn’t even have time to turn around.

– Puff! –

A man had landed behind them after flying extremely fast in the sky. He was only dozens of feet away.

Ye Xiao slowly turned around and saw a tough man with both hands behind the back. The man stood straight up right there, staring at Ye Xiao and the three ladies with a pair of cold eyes.

The tough man was over two meters tall, but it didn’t make him look clumsy. He stood there like a huge mountain, powerful and strong.

Li Wuliang was the only man Ye Xiao could think of that could compare this man!

It was the natural power of a hero!

“Who are you?” The tough man indifferently looked at Ye Xiao and said.

“We...” Ye Xiao pretended to be extremely nervous. “We...” He swallowed and acted like he was too anxious to speak.

“What a coward! Step aside.” The man scolded Ye Xiao. His power was so frightening as if it was a solid attack.

The tough man saw Ye Xiao’s dark and yellow face, slim body, and the three ugly ladies beside him, so he breathed with relief. He waved his sleeve and turned around to look at the road.

In the sky, all of a sudden, countless flags appeared, as if the forest had flown up to the sky! A lot of people showed up in the sky!

The flags started moving to both sides and a slim old man appeared in the middle.

The old man was wearing a purple robe, coldly staring at the Foggy Miasma Mountain.

“Is this it?”

“Yes!”

“Are you sure the Destined Toad is still here?”

“I am sure it is! I can guarantee it with my head!”

“Hmm.”

The old man looked at the Foggy Miasma Mountain with a pair of sharp eyes. He blandly said, “Get down!”
