91: Chapter 91 Xiao Yan's Viciousness

"Since you want to go to the Magical Beast Mountain Range first, it just so happens we're going the same way... Now that you've all agreed, let's prepare to set off."

Xiao Yan's next stop was Qingshan Town. Two years ago, it was the place where Xiao Yan first tempered himself, but he didn't know if Xiao Yi Xian was still there now.

If it followed the original plot, he would probably have to head to the Izumo Empire to search for her. He vaguely remembered that in the original plot, Xiao Yi Xian stayed in the Izumo Empire for a year, after which her Calamity Poison Body erupted, killing some innocent villagers.

With hair turning white overnight, the once kind Xiao Yi Xian was hidden deep within her heart; what was released was the cold and ruthless Sky Poison Lady.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but show a trace of regret...

The cultivation method of the Calamity Poison Body was very unique. It didn't require long periods of cultivating Dou Qi; it only required the continuous consumption of poison. This special Physique, the Calamity Poison Body, would convert it into a very special Poison Dou Qi in a bizarre way.

However, poison was always poison. Even the Calamity Poison Body couldn't suppress the corrosive power of the poison forever. The more poison one consumed, the harder it was for the Calamity Poison Body to suppress it, until eventually, one would die in agony as ten thousand poisons devoured the body.

Xiao Yan could have originally forced Xiao Yi Xian to stay, but if she didn't go to the Izumo Empire, her Heart-Nature and strength wouldn't improve, and she probably wouldn't be able to take on great responsibilities...

Although Xiao Yan had the world in his heart, it didn't stop him from being a person who would use any means to achieve his goals.

Gentle people cannot deal with vicious people. To change this world, he had to be even more vicious than the vicious ones, and he had to be unscrupulous to achieve his inner pursuits.

As for whether his pursuit was righteous? He never cared, because absolute righteousness never existed. He only cared about his own inner expectations for a beautiful future, regardless of good or evil, or profit.

Thus, regarding Xiao Yi Xian's plight, Xiao Yan could only express regret.

As for how to subdue Xiao Yi Xian, it was also very simple. Since she was willing to start a war for a method to control the Calamity Poison Body, he could naturally use that method to control her.

"Xiao Yan, why are we going to the Magical Beast Mountain Range too?" Zi Yan asked curiously from the side.

Xiao Yan glanced at Xun'er, who was smiling at him, and said, "While tempering myself in the Magical Beast Mountain Range before, I encountered an interesting special Physique with extremely high talent, which is worth subduing..."

Zi Yan's eyes darted toward Medusa, and she said, "It couldn't be another beauty, could it?"

Xiao Yan directly pulled Zi Yan over and rubbed his fist against her head.

"Ah, hey! It hurts, hurts, hurts!"

"Hehe, it seems Brother Xiao Yan's luck with women during his travels is really good. But Xun'er won't mind. After all, on this continent, it's not unusual for the strong to have multiple wives..."

It looked like it was another woman. Xun'er's eyes were gloomy as she glanced toward Medusa, intentionally or otherwise.

Brother Xiao Yan, are you sure this isn't intentional?

Before meeting Medusa, even Xun'er hadn't expected that the person Xiao Yan wanted to subdue was Queen Medusa. After all, according to Old Ling's observations, Medusa didn't know Xiao Yan.

Medusa smiled slightly and said to Xun'er, "Miss Xun'er, in my humble opinion, Lord Xiao Yan is not that kind of promiscuous person."

Xiao Yan shook his head, not responding to the two women's banter, and instead said to Jia Xingtian, "Old Jia, there's something I need to ask you to do."

Jia Xingtian looked at Xiao Yan upon hearing this and replied, "Just give the order if there's anything."

"Hmm, I need you to gather the master architects of the Jia Ma Empire to build a city around Wutan City. It doesn't need to be too large for now, but in the center, a building for meetings must be constructed. As for the requirements, just make it grand; it must be able to accommodate a large number of people."

Xiao Yan set the location for the council meeting near Wutan City without any particular reason, simply because he didn't want to pick another spot.

"Oh? Is Lord Xiao Yan planning to establish a power?" Jia Xingtian asked.

Xiao Yan had mentioned it slightly before, but hadn't expressed it clearly, so he hadn't casually asked. But now that Xiao Yan was having him build a structure for meetings, he became curious.

"Hehe, it's just a Council. When the time comes, the Jia Ma Empire must come and support me," Xiao Yan said with a faint smile.

Jia Xingtian's expression shifted. A Council? What kind of Council would require a nation to attend?

"That's a given. Since Lord Xiao Yan intends to establish a power, the Jiama Royal Family will surely provide full support," Jia Xingtian said firmly, and then asked, "What kind of power does Lord Xiao Yan intend to build?"

Xiao Yan then described the Council in detail.

"At that time, every significant power must provide at least two individuals at the Dou Ling level or above to join the United Army. As for those below Dou Ling, there is no limit on numbers, and the higher the Realm, the better the treatment provided."

"In the Early Stage of establishment, if the Jia Ma Empire is willing, it can send a few Dou Wang experts to participate. The rewards obtained afterward will naturally be incredibly generous."

Seeing Jia Xingtian's curiosity, Xiao Yan spoke up.

The treatment of the United Army soldiers would be paid monthly, and other remuneration would be distributed proportionally based on the settlement of the resources obtained after the mission.

However, regarding the obtained resources, this point would be slightly relaxed. After all, in the Early Stage of establishment, giving away more profit would make the soldiers more motivated.

"If that's the case, the Jiama Royal Family is willing to provide three Dou Wangs and eight Dou Lings to join the United Army!" Jia Xingtian said without hesitation.

"Not only that, if Lord Xiao Yan needs it, my Jiama Royal Family can add a hundred thousand Elite Troops!"

Jia Xingtian grew more excited as he spoke, wishing he could throw all the Empire's strength into it.

After all, Xiao Yan had already promised the Jiama Royal Family three hundred years of protection. With such a promise, as long as the Jiama Royal Family didn't seek their own destruction, three hundred years would be enough to take the Jiama Royal Family to the next level.

And what lay before Jia Xingtian now was undoubtedly the fastest path moving forward. Even if it failed, the cost of failure seemed insignificant under Xiao Yan's protection.

"Haha, since Old Jia has such thoughts, I won't be polite. After all, a newly established power does indeed require a lot of manpower." Seeing Jia Xingtian's excitement, Xiao Yan smiled and agreed.

The new power indeed needed hands. Once other powers contributed people to the United Army, just by pooling them together, it would be an invincible army capable of sweeping across the Northwest Continent.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan took out a jade bottle from his storage ring and tossed it gently into Jia Xingtian's hand.

"Convert the value of these Medicinal Pills and reward those who are to join the United Army. These are also some rewards from me as the Council Chairman. If they perform well enough, I won't be stingy; the benefits will keep flowing."

Jia Xingtian slowly placed the bottle of Medicinal Pills on the table and said solemnly, "Then I shall thank Lord Xiao Yan on behalf of the soldiers! Hehe, rest assured Lord Xiao Yan, the soldiers of my Jiama Royal Family are all iron-blooded and unyielding, and will surely become a sharp sword in Lord Xiao Yan's hand!"
