Chapter 455: Fire Poison!

  "Senior Sister Xian'er, Master said that while the energy in that pce is incredibly pure, it tains a signifit amount of fire poison. Your physique happens to restrain this fire poison, so Master instructed me to let you go there aloo absorb it..."

  As Han Yue spoke, she eveiohe location at the bottom of the blood pool, the spatial barrier set up by the Gold-Dev Mouse , and how their leader had accumuted injuries over time due to the fire poison.

  "I feel like Master has been here before," Nan Yanran murmured softly.

  It wasn’t just her. At this moment, even Xiao Yi Xian and the others felt that everything was so meticulously described that it seemed as though Gu He had experie personally. Otherwise, how could he provide such detailed instrus?

  "Master is immensely capable, so it’s no surprise that he’s thhly informed about this pce!" Xiao Yi Xian said with a smile. Most of Gu He's instrus revolved around her, making her very pleased.

  Moreover, this kind of treasure and opportunity left Han Yue and Nan Yanran without even a reason to feel "jealous," as only Xiao Yi Xian could ignore and refihe fire poison pletely.

  ...

  Not long after, Xiao Yi Xian and her group could clearly see the midoint of Tianmu Mountain.

  Half Tianmu Mountain was an exceptionally spacious ptform, structed ly with rocks. At the edge of the ptform was a stoairway leading directly to the mountain's summit. However, at the moment, the stoeps were guarded by humanoid, mouse-headed Gold-Dev Mice.

  Oform, outside the stoeps, stood a short old man whose eyes sparkled with sharpness as he stared at the approag Xiao Yi Xian and her group.

  Beside this short old man was the lecherous elder, Jin Gu, who had appeared in the maze earlier, along with two enormous, dark-gold-haired giant mice. These two Gold-Dev Mice were signifitly rger than average, and their eyes gleamed with a sharp intelligence rivaling that of humans.

  Both of these Gold-Dev Mice were clearly at the sixth tier. They were likely didates to ehe Tianshan Blood Pool this time. If they broke through to the Dou Aor stage and survived their tributions, they could take on human forms and bee embers of the Gold-Dev Mouse .

  The lecherous elder g the group nding oform and turo Jin Gu. "Jin Gu, are these the human girls you mentioned earlier?"

  "Yes, the one leading them—I couldn’t even dis her strength. But I’m certain she’s already reached the Dou Aor stage!" Jin Gu the old man’s question.

  "Achieving the Dou Aor stage at such a young age—these individuals must have extraordinary backgrounds!" the old man sighed in amazement.

  The moment, Xiao Yi Xian’s group had bypassed the humanoid, mouse-headed guards of the Gold-Dev Mouse d nded directly oform, stopping only two meters away from the short old man.

  Seeing this, the old man turned his gaze toward Xiao Yi Xian’s group and spoke slowly, "I am Jin Shi, the leader of the Gold-Dev Mouse . Since you’ve mao get here so quickly, you must be extraordinary. You should also know the rules of Tianmu Mountain: only after the allotted time and passing the checkpoints we’ve set you pete for the remaini spots."

  "Wait for that bunch behind us?" Xiao Yi Xian frowned slightly at Jin Shi's words.

  Notig Xiao Yi Xian’s displeased expression, Jin Shi surprisingly smiled and expined calmly, "Miss, please don’t be impatient. The energy tide hasn’t yet reached its peak. Even if you go up now, it will be futile."

  Han Yue was inwardly asto Jin Shi’s attitude toward Xiao Yi Xian.

  Han Yue had heard of Jin Shi's reputation. During the great battle for the Tianshan Blood Pool years ago, this old man had dispyed unparalleled power. Even Tian Leizi, the master of the Wind Thunder North Pavilion and a veteran powerhouse, failed to defeat him. This alone demonstrated Jin Shi's formidable strength.

  Yet now, Jin Shi eaking to Xiao Yi Xian with such a respectful and humble demeanor, without any airs of seniority. In this moment, Han Yue finally uood the magnitude of the power Xiao Yi Xian possessed.

  "Even Sed Senior Sister's strength is so terrifying. I ’t imagine how powerful that elusive Senior Brother must be!" Han Yue mused distractedly to herself.

  " Leader Jin Shi, sihe Tianshan Blood Pool will take some time before the energy reaches its peak, let us first tackle the checkpoints and secure those spots," Xiao Yi Xian said early to Jin Shi.

  Hearing this, both Jin Shi and Jin Gu looked troubled.

  "Miss, tag the checkpoints is part of the agreed-upon rules. We must wait until most partits arrive to ensure fairness. If you proceed ahead of time, it may be seen as unjust," Jin Shi expined patiently.

  "What’s unfair about it? We arrived here first and are ready to face the challenges. Naturally, we meet the qualifications," Xiao Yi Xian replied with a firmer tone.

  Sigh!

  Jin Shi let out a heavy sigh. He khere was no reasoning with Xiao Yi Xian.

  "If you insist on proceeding now, you disregard the agreemeablished by all the fas and show nard for the Gold-Dev Mouse ," Jin Shi said, his tone finally tinged with irritation.

  "Old man, even if those others arrive, if my sect decides not to let them into the Tianshan Blood Pool, no one enter!" Xiao Yi Xian tered nontly. "Besides, with your current state of injuries and weakened body, I doubt you could stop me."

  "You truly dis my injuries?" Jin Shi’s gaze sharpened as he stared ily at Xiao Yi Xian, his voice ced with suspi. "Could it be that you’re a top-tier alchemist?"

  Jin Shi’s skepticism was uandable. Evee sixth-tier alchemists couldn’t detect his internal injuries. Could this seemingly seventeen- hteen-year-old girl surpass that level?

  "That’s none of your ," Xiao Yi Xian replied indifferently. She certainly wouldn’t admit that it wasn’t her observation but rather information passed down from Gu He to Han Yue and then to her.

  Xiao Yi Xian’s haughty demeanor made Jin Shi somewhat believe her cims, elevating his evaluation of her even further.

  "Miss, regardless of the situation, I ot allow an early challeo the checkpoints. It’s not just my decision; the rules are in pce. If I viote them, other fas will not stand for it. It could lead to a unified assault on my ," Jin Shi said bitterly. The Gold-Dev Mouse had already suffered a crushi in the past. Now, they merely survived in the gaps of the major fas’ power struggles.
