Battle Through the Heavens - chapter-792
The first discussion did not reveal any substantial conclusions. No one
had even the slightest evidence of the so-called traitor in the sect.
Therefore, they could only temporarily shove it aside. After the meeting
continued for around half an hour or so, it ended with no decision being
made.
Perhaps it was because the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate had withdrawn all
their people into the Ten Thousand Scorpion Mountain, but no overly
intense battle erupted today. Everything seemed extremely calm. However,
as long as it was someone with sharp senses, one would be able to
discover that this was just the calm before the storm. With the strength
of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate, they would definitely be unwilling to
be sealed by the Poison Sect on the top of a mountain. Hence, it was
likely that a big battle that would truly determine the victor would
sweep over like a storm soon.
With the flow of time, the night sky gradually covered the entire
mountain range. The night was the time when poisonous things prevailed. A
slight shuffling sound repeatedly appeared around the entire mountain
range. Borrowing some weak light, one would be able to see colorful
poisonous snakes and scorpions climbing all over the place in the grass
and in the trees. The tongue of the snakes extended in a ferocious manner.
However, it was fortunate that a thick layer of powder had already been
scattered over the surroundings of the campsite. Some small poisonous
objects did not dare to move nearer in the face of this kind of
nose-piercing stench. Moreover, there were experts from the Poison Sect
guarding around the place. Having been dealing with poison for their
entire lives, it was natural that these people were extremely used to
handling such things.
The campsite at night appeared exceptionally calm. Bonfires burned
fiercely and would occasionally erupt into thunderbolt claps.
A certain spot in the quiet campsite suddenly moved, and a tiny black
figure swiftly rushed out. After which, it was just like an ordinary bird
that swiftly rushed toward the dark forest.
Borrowing the help of the faint moonlight, one was able to discover that
this tiny black figure was a black centipede with a pair of wings a few
airfoils thick. Due to the color of its body, it was extremely difficult
for it to be noticed in the night sky. Even if some experts discovered
it, they would merely treat it as an ordinary poisonous centipede. After
all, this thing was only too commonly seen in this Sky Scorpion Mountain
Range where poisonous insects roamed.
The black centipede quietly rushed through the sky before finally turning
its body. It actually flew toward the Ten Thousand Scorpion Mountain in
the direction of the gorge.
Just as that centipede was about to fly over the gorge, a black figure
strangely appeared in mid-air. The figure caught the former in his hand.
Of course, the figure had naturally used Dou Qi to wrap his hand when
faced with such a dirty thing.
The black centipede that was suddenly captured immediately began to
struggle. The interior of its body also faintly emitted a repulsive
stench.
A finger was flicked and it struck the centipede’s head, shaking it until
it fainted. The black figure’s indifferent eyes drifted over it before
his finger suddenly used some force and shattered the body of this
centipede. A small paper note that was rolled into a cylinder shape
quietly appeared as green blood flowed out.
A jade-green flame rose from the figure’s hand and vaporized all the
green-colored blood. The flame’s glow was imprinted on that somewhat
ordinary face. It was surprisingly Xiao Yan who had used the Mysterious
Beast Skin to hide his original appearance.
Xiao Yan tossed the corpse of that centipede into the gorge and slowly
pulled opened the paper scroll. He could see a couple of distorted words
that appeared in his eyes.
“Everything is prepared.”
There were only these three simple words on the paper note. However,
these three words caused Xiao Yan’s eyes to slightly narrow. It seemed
that this matter was not as simple as he had imagined. There was indeed a
traitor from the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate within the Poison Sect.
Moreover, from the meaning of the words on the note, it seemed that those
traitors planted within the Poison Sect had already properly arranged
certain matters. Next, they were awaiting for the final moment to give
the Poison Sect a vicious destructive blow.
“Although I have been observing the interior of the campsite, the body
of this centipede does not have the scent of any human. Moreover, it did
not fly out from a certain tent. Clearly, the person who was sending the
messages is extremely cautious.” Xiao Yan muttered softly in his heart.
He stored the paper note and his gaze studied the dark-black Ten Thousand
Scorpion Mountain in the distance. Even though he was so far away, he
could still vaguely sense that this place was dangerous.
“I should tell Little Fairy Doctor about this first. Otherwise, we’ll
sooner or later fall at the most unexpected moment…” This thought
flashed across Xiao Yan’s heart. After which, he moved and strangely
disappeared in a slow manner.
Dawn arrived after a night where nothing happened. A slight humming sound
appeared in all the campsite of the Poison Sect just when the sky had
become bright. The hearts of the numerous members from the Poison Sect
who knew what this sound represented immediately shook. It seemed that
they were about to launch a major attack on the Ten Thousand Scorpion
Mountain today.
“Wu!”
The sharp whistling sound resounded over the mountain range. Suddenly,
killing cries were emitted. One could see the densely packed people from
the Poison Sect surge like ants, swarming toward the Ten Thousand
Scorpion Mountain from all directions. Finally, they charge over to the
mountain top where the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate was located.
The large army of the Poison Sect had just charged into the dense forest
of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Mountain when numerous sharp cries were
suddenly emitted. Clearly, the people from the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate
had hid themselves within the forest, waiting for the Poison Sect to
attack.
Although the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate was prepared, the densely packed
large Poison Sect tide did not pause even a little because of it. They
carried charging cries that surged to the sky as they ran into the forest
with reddened eyes. After which, they collided and fought with the people
from the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate.
When the killing of the two large sects began, experts from both sides
also began to successively charge into the dense forest to engage in a
slaughter. A big battle would naturally erupt when the two parties
experts occasionally met.
Xiao Yan’s eyes were indifferent as he observed the people from the Ten
Thousand Scorpion Sect, who had suddenly appeared in the dense forest, as
they threw bags of poison fog toward him. He flicked his finger and an
invisible fluctuation appeared. The ten plus fierce-looking people from
the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate immediately burst into clusters of flame
out of the blue. The poison fog also swiftly disappeared when it was
still around ten feet from Xiao Yan.
The eyes of the hundred plus people from the Poison Sect behind Xiao Yan
revealed some shock when they saw this strange act. Their hearts quietly
muttered that this person was indeed worthy of being a helper that the
sect leader had invited. His strength was really not weak.
“Thank you mister Yan for your help!” The middle-aged leader cupped
his hand toward Xiao Yan. After which, he did not dare to delay any
longer. He waved his hand and led a large group of people over to the
mountain top like a pack of hornets.
Xiao Yan’s eyes sent off these people from the Poison Sect as they
disappeared into the forest. He randomly flicked his finger and a thread
of hot wind incinerated the poison scorpion that had pounced over from
behind him. After which, he turned his head and laughed, “What are the
other places like?”
The space was slightly distorted at the spot where Xiao Yan’s eyes
rested. Medusa’s figure slowly appeared. She faintly spoke , “The
experts from the Poison Sect outnumber that of the Ten Thousand Scorpion
Gate. There are also experts lending a hand at almost every location.
Hence, their attacks are quite fast. They have already reached halfway up
the mountain. Perhaps, they would be able to reach the area outside of
the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate a short while later.”

Xiao Yan vaguely nodded.
“However, the elite experts from the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate had yet
to act. Even if the Poison Sect is able to reach the spot where the Ten
Thousand Scorpion Gate is located, it would be difficult for them to
advance even an inch further unless they are able to eliminate the
genuine experts of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate.” Medusa continued to
speak.
“Hei, that chief of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate, Xie Shan, that Xie
Bi Yan, and that expert from the ‘Hall of Souls’ have not yet
appeared to intervene. As long as they are still around, the Ten Thousand
Scorpion Gate will not be defeated. There is still a soul-stirring great
battle today.” Xiao Yan laughed, “You should try your best to hide
your aura. Don’t allow anyone to discover your true strength. Wait
until a crucial moment before appearing. Only then will you be able to
achieve a deterrent effect.”
“Yes.”
“That’s right, where is Zi Yan?” Xiao Yan eyes swept around as he
frowned and asked.
“She led a unit of the Poison Sect, and charged right at the front. It
is likely that her area will be the first to reach the Ten Thousand
Scorpion Gate other than the Little Fairy Doctor’s group.” Medusa
helplessly replied. She was really speechless when it came to that little
girl.
“Ugh, leave her be. As long as there is no elite Dou Huangs from the
Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate intervening, it is likely that she will not be
in danger. We should also increase our speed…” Xiao Yan shook his
head. His body moved as he heard the killing cries that spread over the
entire mountain. He penetrated through the forest. He flapped his fire
wings and rushed toward the mountain peak. Medusa also used Dou Qi to
agglomerate a pair of Dou Qi wings on her back and followed close behind.
The sky above the Ten Thousand Scorpion Mountain would occasionally
experience an intense battle. However, the experts from the two parties
did not feel attracted to fighting. Once they discovered that the
situation was not right, they would immediately flee toward their sides
direction. Hence, the sky might appear to be exciting and chaotic from
the fights, but no major losses had been suffered yet.
Xiao Yan and Medusa rose straight up. A moment later, they arrived at a
spot close to the peak of the mountain. Their eyes swept down from above,
only to see the towering mountain peak penetrated into the clouds. The
mountain peak appeared as though an axe had cut half of the sky. There
was an incomparably large faction that stood on it. A dense green fog
spread over the sky above the sect. The poison fog withered and covered
the entire faction.
The people from the Poison Sect appeared one after another outside of
that faction. After which, they were just like ants as they completely
surrounded the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate. With an increasing number of
people from the Poison Sect appearing, numerous rays of light had also
begun to flash and appear. Finally, they remain suspended in the air.
They were the Little Fairy Doctor and the experts from the Poison Sect.
The Little Fairy Doctor floated in the sky as her eyes swept over the
green poison fog that was scattered over the place. Her indifferent voice
also resounded slowly over the mountain top.
“Xie Shan, do you think that you can rely on this Poison Cloud
Formation to block the attacks of my Poison Sect?”
“Ha ha, the sect leader of the Poison Sect really lives up to her name.
Your haughtiness is quite great.”
A loud laugh was emitted from the poison fog when the Little Fairy
Doctor’s voice sounded. The poison fog immediately churned and numerous
human figures flashed out from it. Finally, they stopped in the sky in an
orderly manner. Their eyes were ice-cold as they glared at the expert
from the Poison Sect not far away.
Xiao Yan’s eyes swept around when he saw these experts from the Ten
Thousand Scorpion Gate appearing. Some surprise flashed across his eyes.
It was unexpected that the overall strength of these experts was not much
weaker than the Poison Sect. It seemed that the Ten Thousand Scorpion
Sect really kept a low profile when they did things.
“The big battle today might be somewhat dangerous…”
