Chapter 382: Xiao Yi Xian is Followed!

After leaving the venue, Xiao Yi Xian headed towards a certain inn in the city. However, as the night deepened on the bustling streets, she noticed three shadows trailing her from behind.

“What are these three old men trying to do?”

With her current strength, Xiao Yi Xian could easily sense that the three people following her were the same three Dou Emperor experts who had been seated on the high platform during the day.

Realizing she was being followed, Xiao Yi Xian quickened her pace and soon entered a somewhat secluded alleyway.

"Come out!"

Once in the quiet alley, Xiao Yi Xian turned and shouted coldly toward the figures behind her.

“So, it really is a woman!”

Hearing her crisp voice, Fa Ma, Jia Xing Tian, and Hai Bodong exchanged glances, suddenly realizing the truth.

Knowing they had been discovered, the three no longer bothered hiding. They flew down from the rooftops, landing about ten meters in front of Xiao Yi Xian.

Jia Xing Tian, walking in front, spoke loudly, “Little girl, your strength is quite impressive! You actually managed to sense the three of us old men!”

“The strength of my sect is not something you three can comment on. If you’re smart, go back where you came from.” Xiao Yi Xian replied calmly, addressing the three titans of the Jia Ma Empire.

“A sect?”

“Could this girl be the leader of a sect?”

“A sect leader at seventeen?”

Hearing Xiao Yi Xian refer to herself as the head of a sect, Jia Xing Tian, Fa Ma, and Hai Bodong were filled with doubt.

Fa Ma shook his head, dismissing his earlier thoughts, then spoke with certainty, “There’s no way she’s that young and already a sect leader. If she isn’t using a disguise, she must have some special method to maintain her appearance.”

“Fa Ma is right. If she’s really a sect leader, why would she participate in a competition for the younger generation? It doesn’t match her status. I suspect she has other motives for entering the capital,” Jia Xing Tian said, his eyes fixed on Xiao Yi Xian, analyzing the situation.

While Fa Ma and Jia Xing Tian were filled with suspicion, Hai Bodong seemed to be there purely out of curiosity, eager to see who the black-robed figure that had instantly destroyed his Cold Stream earlier in the day was.

“The Chuyun Empire doesn’t have a female sect master, does it?”

Jia Xing Tian’s gaze turned fierce as he glared at Xiao Yi Xian, his voice sharp.

“Haha! Old man, just because you don’t know of a female sect master in the Chuyun Empire doesn’t mean there isn’t one. You’re simply too ignorant!” Xiao Yi Xian chuckled lightly, completely unfazed by their suspicion of her being a Poison Master.

With her current strength, even if Fa Ma and Hai Bodong joined Jia Xing Tian in battle, she would have no reason to fear them.

“Well, since you admit to being a Poison Master, you might as well tell us the purpose of your visit to the Jia Ma Empire,” Fa Ma asked with a frown.

“My purpose? Naturally, it’s to participate in the Alchemist Grand Meeting. What, are you planning to exclude me just because I’m a Poison Master, even though the competition is supposedly open to all alchemists?” Xiao Yi Xian scoffed.

Hearing her response, Fa Ma’s face darkened. After a long pause, he slowly said, “Of course not. As long as you behave yourself in the capital, we’ll welcome you with open arms.”

Jia Xing Tian, however, appeared conflicted. The Chuyun Empire had long been at odds with the Jia Ma Empire, with frequent outbreaks of war. Allowing a Dou Emperor from a rival nation to roam freely in the capital could lead to uncontrollable consequences.

After some deliberation, Jia Xing Tian decided to hold off on taking action against Xiao Yi Xian, but he issued a stern warning: “You’d better behave, or I’ll make sure you never leave the Jia Ma Empire!”

“Heh, what I do is none of your business. If you provoke me, you won’t be able to handle the consequences!”

In response to Jia Xing Tian’s threat, Xiao Yi Xian raised her delicate white hand, making a small gesture in the air before turning away, no longer paying attention to the three men.
