Chapter 314: Chapter 315: The Netherworld Poison Fire!

“Who are you, and why do you call me that?”

Hearing the silver-haired girl’s address, Xiao Yi Xian’s heart was filled with confusion.

“I am the Void Beast. My master instructed me to follow and protect Sister Xian'er. From the Yunlan Sect to the Demon Beast Mountain Range and then to the Cloud Empire, you handled all the crises on your own, so I never showed myself!” The silver-haired girl patiently explained upon seeing Xiao Yi Xian’s puzzled expression.

Hearing the young girl's words, both Xiao Yi Xian and Liu Rulong were deeply shocked.

However, while Xiao Yi Xian was astonished, Liu Rulong felt a surge of intense joy.

“Void Beast? A powerful shapeshifting magical beast!”

“Who is the master she mentioned? Yunlan Sect… Isn’t that a sect in the Jia Ma Empire? This terrifying shapeshifting magical beast and that little poison girl must be from the Jia Ma Empire!”

From the silver-haired girl’s words, Liu Rulong quickly grasped several key points. He deduced that a terrifying powerhouse had emerged from the Yunlan Sect of the Jia Ma Empire, and the little poison girl was a disciple sent out for training by this formidable master.

The thought of having attempted to kill Xiao Yi Xian just moments ago sent chills down Liu Rulong's spine, and he instinctively wanted to flee.

However, just as Liu Rulong made a move, the silver-haired girl noticed.

With a glance at Liu Rulong, the silver-haired girl clenched her small hand lightly, and an invisible force pressed down on him.

“Ah! Ah! Ah!”

In a piercing scream, Liu Rulong’s body was crushed into a mist of blood, dissolving into the toxic green water.

“Attacking Sister Xian'er again and again, you deserved to die.” After killing Liu Rulong, the girl’s childish voice carried a note of anger.

Seeing the silver-haired girl effortlessly kill Liu Rulong, Xiao Yi Xian's mouth dropped open in astonishment.

She had thought the suddenly appearing silver-haired girl was powerful but hadn't expected her to be this overwhelmingly strong.

A figure like Old Monster Liu, who had dominated the Cloud Empire for nearly a century, was no match for her.

Recalling what the silver-haired girl had said earlier, Xiao Yi Xian tentatively asked, “Is the master you mentioned my teacher?”

“Mm-hmm!”

Hearing Xiao Yi Xian’s question, the silver-haired girl’s eyebrows, which had been slightly furrowed due to Liu Rulong, relaxed. She nodded repeatedly, saying, “Yes, the master is your teacher, Sister Xian'er!”

“After Master gave the order, Chi Jiao and I followed Sister Yanran and Sister Xian'er closely, leaving the Yunlan Sect. When Sister Xian'er sent Sister Yanran to the Demon Beast Mountain Range, Chi Jiao and I separated to act independently!”

Upon hearing the Void Beast’s explanation, Xiao Yi Xian's face suddenly lit up with a sweet smile. She sighed, “Haha, Master, you truly couldn’t rest easy letting us train alone, so you arranged for such a powerful protector to watch over us in secret.”

“Heehee, Sister Xian'er, you think I’m powerful too!” Hearing Xiao Yi Xian’s compliment, the silver-haired girl, in her Void Beast form, smiled, revealing two adorable dimples.

“Of course, you’re powerful. Even Old Monster Liu, who was so strong, was easily killed by you. There’s probably no one in the entire Cloud Empire who can defeat you!” Xiao Yi Xian said sincerely.

Seeing the adorable appearance of the Void Beast, Xiao Yi Xian felt extremely happy.

“Sister Xian'er, are you planning to go deeper into the swamp?” the Void Beast suddenly asked.

“Yes, since I’ve come to this relic, I can’t leave empty-handed!” Xiao Yi Xian nodded gently.

### Chapter 315: The Ghostly Poison Flame!

Hearing Xiao Yi Xian's response, the Void Beast slowly said, “Sister Xian'er, I’ve investigated this place before. There is indeed a strange aura at the center of the swamp.”

“Oh, the center of the swamp? Can you take me there?” Xiao Yi Xian asked expectantly.

“Of course!”

Without hesitation, the Void Beast agreed to Xiao Yi Xian’s request.

Currently, the Void Beast’s situation was similar to Xiao Jin’s. Once discovered, it was impossible to hide again. Knowing they had such a powerful bodyguard, Xiao Yi Xian and Liu Ling would naturally think to seek its help.

“Sister Xian'er, get ready! We’re about to set off!”

After reminding Xiao Yi Xian, the Void Beast gently waved her delicate hand. Instantly, a silver light enveloped Xiao Yi Xian. The space around them began to warp until their figures disappeared from the bottom of the green water.

...

At the center of the swamp, five very cautious figures hovered about seven or eight meters above the surface.

“Brother Dayuan, why hasn’t Old Liu come over yet? Did he discover something on his own?”

The earlier commotion was significant, but Ma Dayuan and his group were too far away to feel its intensity, assuming it was just the swamp’s natural movement.

“That old monster, it’d be best if he ran into some terrifying existence and died!” Ma Dayuan grumbled irritably.

This time, hearing Ma Dayuan curse Liu Rulong, none of the others spoke up, as they had become accustomed to it.

“Have you noticed that the temperature here seems off?” Despite having a Dou Qi shield for protection, Hou Yunfeng still felt a hint of heat.

“Yes, the closer we get, it feels like there’s a volcano ahead!” Elder Cui, a Dou King from the Wan Du Sect, agreed.

“A volcano? In this poisonous swamp?”

Hearing their words, Ma Dayuan suddenly stopped to think.

“Do you think there’s a possibility that this place holds the legendary Ghostly Poison Flame?” After pondering for a moment, Ma Dayuan shared his guess.

“Ghostly Poison Flame!”

The others reacted strongly to Ma Dayuan’s words.

Seeing their astonished expressions, Ma Dayuan continued with a trace of excitement, “The Ghostly Poison Flame, ranked twentieth on the Heavenly Flames list, is a flame with poisonous attributes. It’s said to originate from ancient poisonous swamps. Though it’s a flame, it has been infused with poison over millions of years, making it highly toxic. The features of this place resemble those ancient poisonous swamps, and we’re experiencing unusual heat!”

Just as Ma Dayuan was excitedly explaining the Ghostly Poison Flame to the others, a cheerful female voice suddenly came from above them.

“Really? Ma Dayuan, I didn’t expect you to know so much!”
