As for those shadowy figures resembling Protectors, they were likely the Soul Envoys under the command of Protector Tie.

They were the lowest-ranking members of the Hall of Souls, typically organized into squads of ten, each led by a Protector.

"That old bastard's name should be Xie Biyan, right?"

Medusa, standing to the side, suddenly spoke as the names of powerful figures from the Chu Yun Empire flashed through her mind.

"Oh? I didn't expect you to know him,"Xiao Yixian looked at Queen Medusa, who had a rather complicated relationship with her, with mild surprise.

Medusa said slowly, "Back when I had just assumed the position of Queen of the Snake-People, that old man led a group of Chu Yun Empire experts to attack my clan.

I even fought him once. Back then, he was only at the Dou Huang level. I didn't expect that after all these years, not only did he survive, but he's also advanced to Dou Zong."

"Indeed. I used to cross paths with him quite a few times myself. Didn't expect that guy to actually break through to Dou Zong on his own.

If I'm not mistaken, he should be the strongest in the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate. As long as we take him down, the rest—those Dou Huang- and Dou Wang-level elders—won't be much trouble."

Hearing the name of his old opponent, Yun Shan revealed a nostalgic expression, his voice tinged with emotion.

Hearing the two recount their past encounters, Xiao Yixian nodded slightly and said with a soft laugh, "Even if we count that Protector Tie from the Hall of Souls, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate still only has two Dou Zong-level experts.

On our side, we have three Dou Zongs. What's more, Lin Feng, you have a trump card capable of killing a low-level Dou Zong. In this battle, our odds of victory are high."

She had already heard reports of Lin Feng's impressive achievements in the Tagore Desert from her subordinates, so she was well aware of his strength.

"Hey! Don't forget about me!"

Hearing that no one had mentioned her even once, Zi Yan quickly stepped forward, protesting angrily: "Even though this young lady is only at the peak of Dou Wang, if we're really fighting, even some Dou Huangs wouldn't be able to stop me!"

"Alright, alright. When the time comes, I'll count on you to hold off some of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate's elders. Once this is over, I'll give you a pill to level up."

Seeing her cute reaction, Lin Feng chuckled and gently patted the girl's head.

"Hmph, that's more like it." Zi Yan mumbled, her gem-like purple eyes narrowing in enjoyment as she basked in his touch.

"Hehe…"

Xiao Yixian smiled sweetly at the sight of the adorable girl, then turned to the others and said,"Let's return to the Poison Sect first. Once the preparations are done, we'll march on the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate."

"Alright."

Hearing this, Lin Feng and the others nodded in agreement.

Soon after, under Xiao Yixian's lead, Lin Feng and the other three flew toward the Poison Sect.

On the second day after Lin Feng's group arrived at Sky Poison City…

With newfound confidence, Xiao Yixian began mobilizing all ranks within the Poison Sect to launch a counterattack against the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate.

Countless Poison Sect members were dispatched and, in scattered formations, began converging on the area surrounding the Heavenly Scorpion Mountain Range—the location of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate.

In just three days, a massive number of Poison Sect members had completely sealed off the entire mountain range.

Naturally, the members of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate could not sit idly by upon seeing this and likewise dispatched a large number of their forces to counter.

As the conflict escalated, battles between the stronger combatants from both sides began to erupt.

In an instant, the once quiet Heavenly Scorpion Mountains fell into unprecedented chaos.

However, because Lin Feng knew that the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate had planted spies within the Poison Sect, it was certain that all of the Poison Sect's movements were being relayed to the enemy.

If lower-level Poison Sect members acted rashly, they would be easily ambushed.

Therefore, on Lin Feng's suggestion, Xiao Yixian issued a strict order:Poison Sect members encountering the enemy must not pursue if they cannot kill them on the spot.

A few days after the operations began, Xiao Yixian brought Lin Feng and the others to the Poison Sect's encampment in the Heavenly Scorpion Mountains.

Because Lin Feng and the others were all quite well-known in the surrounding empires, Xiao Yixian worried that their identities might alert the enemy.

To avoid drawing unnecessary attention, she provided them with a special item called Phantom Beast Skin.

This Phantom Beast Skin could slightly alter a person's facial appearance.

Of course, once the item was removed, the user's original appearance would instantly be restored.

Naturally, the quality of Phantom Beast Skins varied in grade.

And the ones given by Xiao Yixian were, of course, of the highest quality.

Even Dou Huang-level experts wouldn't be able to see through their disguise.

In addition, both Medusa and Yun Shan were currently concealing their true cultivation levels.

The group passed through the heavily guarded camp without incident, until Xiao Yixian finally stopped in front of a large central command tent.

At that moment, numerous Poison Sect experts had gathered around the tent, evidently having received news of Xiao Yixian's arrival.

After some routine pleasantries, the group stepped inside the tent.

"Sect Leader, who are these people?"

A pale green-robed elder standing at the forefront of the group frowned as he noticed Lin Feng and the other unfamiliar faces behind Xiao Yixian.

Hearing the question, Lin Feng's gaze swept toward the speaker.

The elder had an ordinary appearance, but what stood out most was the pitch-black centipede tattoo etched across his face.

The centipede's markings squirmed faintly like a living creature, exuding an eerie and chilling aura.

"They are all friends I personally invited. What? Elder Wu, do you have a problem with that?"

Xiao Yixian seemed displeased with him—she didn't even lift her gaze as she spoke coolly.

"Wu Ya wouldn't dare,"

The elder's eyes flickered with a strange light, his tone neither warm nor cold as he said, "It's just that this battle with the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate concerns the very survival of our Poison Sect. Naturally, we must exercise caution. If the Sect Leader intends to bring in outsiders, more care should be taken."

As he spoke, his eyes swept over Lin Feng and the others. When he realized they were merely three Dou Huangs and one Dou Wang, a flicker of disdain flashed across his wrinkled face.

"I trust the people I bring."

Xiao Yixian frowned slightly. Given the pressing war situation, she didn't argue further. With a wave of her hand, she walked straight into the command tent.

The Poison Sect disciples at the entrance quickly made way for her.

Seeing this, Lin Feng and the others immediately followed.

As he passed by Wu Ya, a subtle smirk curled at the corner of Lin Feng's lips.

Thanks to the conversation just now, he had remembered this part of the plot.

This old bastard was the chief spy planted by the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate.

But since Wu Ya had yet to discover their identities, Lin Feng decided to wait until everyone was gathered before dealing with him.

Inside the tent, everyone took their seats.

Xiao Yixian sat at the head of the table, with the senior Poison Sect members seated below.

However, Lin Feng deliberately had Yun Shan and Medusa stand on either side of the conference table—like silent guardians.
