Starting with the Sword Ancestor System: Xiao Yan, Your Harem is Mine!

131: A woman plagued by misfortune, yet capable of healing her wounded emotions.Following the strong guidance from the black iron and the summons Medusa felt, the two left their temporary mountain cave and ventured deeper into the valley.

The deeper they went, the more desolate and deathly silent the surroundings became. The bones on the ground grew larger, and some even retained a terrifying energy pressure that made one’s heart palpitate, indicating the formidable strength of their owners in life. The violent energy permeating the air also grew thicker, mixed with Evil Qi and an aura of deathly silence, causing the black iron within Li Ao’s body to slightly warm, transmitting a sense of joy as if it were in its element.

Medusa’s perception also became clearer; her purple eyes flickered with doubt and anticipation: ”That summons... it’s very peculiar. It’s not directed at my Bloodline; it’s more like a... resonance of shared suffering? As if some ancient existence, imprisoned here, is crying for help.”

Li Ao nodded; he had a similar feeling. The black iron’s guidance wasn’t pointing to some treasure; it was more like leading him to a certain ”place,” or rather, to ”meet” something.

After walking for about half an hour, a more bizarre area appeared ahead. The land there was an ominous gray-purple, and faint colored mists drifted in the air. Where the mists passed, even the hard bones made a ”sizzling” sound, being slowly corroded.

”Be careful, this mist is highly poisonous!” Medusa’s expression tightened, and Seven-Colored Dou Qi spontaneously formed a barrier around her, isolating the approaching poisonous mist.

Li Ao also activated the Bone Chilling Flame; the bone-white flames swirled around him, and the strange poisonous mist, upon touching the Strange Fire, immediately melted away like ice and snow meeting the sun. The Strange Fire, by its very nature, was the bane of all poisons in the world.

”To form such a large-scale poisonous miasma in this place, it’s definitely not natural,” Li Ao’s gaze sharply penetrated the depths of the poisonous miasma. ”There’s probably something inside.”

Just as he finished speaking, from the depths of the poisonous miasma, a suppressed, pained whimper, like that of an injured young Demonic Beast, suddenly came, followed by an extremely unstable energy fluctuation filled with destruction and death, which violently erupted!

Boom!

The gray-purple poisonous miasma violently churned like a lake into which a huge stone had been thrown, and a slender figure in a plain white dress stumbled out from the core of the poisonous miasma, falling to the ground. She curled up, trembling all over, her exposed skin a sickly gray-white intertwined with strange seven-colored patterns. A heart-palpitating poisonous Qi uncontrollably spread from her body, corroding the ground around her into pits and hollows.

”This is... the Calamity Poison Body?!” Li Ao’s pupils contracted sharply as he recognized this terrifying Physique, which was considered a taboo even on the Fighting Qi Continent.

What shocked him even more was that the struggling woman before him was none other than Xiao Yi Xian, whom he had met once in the Magical Beast Mountain Range of the Jia Ma Empire years ago and who had given him Medicinal Pills!

However, at this moment, she no longer possessed her former gentle and kind temperament; instead, she was beautiful and desperate, tormented by poison and on the verge of collapse. Her once clear eyes were now filled with pain and struggle, and a hint of deep-seated unwillingness.

”It’s her?” Medusa also raised an eyebrow slightly, clearly recognizing Xiao Yi Xian. Back in the Jia Ma Empire, she had also heard of this woman with the Calamity Poison Body.

”Ah—!” Xiao Yi Xian let out a pained shriek as the poisonous Qi within her body erupted uncontrollably again. The seven-colored poison patterns spread across her skin like living things, threatening to completely engulf her consciousness and turn her into a poison creature that knew only destruction.

Just then, Li Ao moved.

He didn’t hesitate at all; his figure flashed, and he appeared beside Xiao Yi Xian. The Bone Chilling Flame retracted into his body. He didn’t use the Strange Fire to forcibly suppress it, because he knew that would only exacerbate the backlash of the Calamity Poison Body.
