Yao Jiaojiao pretending to be a Dragon Phoenix Academy elder gave the Ziling Sect people a fright. They lacked confidence, and even if some of them suggested taking Yao Jiaojiao down, Ren Zhijiu ignored the suggestion. Instead, he had everyone leave immediately.

He was very clear on how scary the devouring phosphorus poison was. Unless the academy sent their Heaven Battling Realm experts here, n.o.body would be able to fully explore this place.

Thus, his retreat was, in a way, a strategic step forward. He would first deal with Yao Jiaojiao and wait for the Ziling Sect reinforcements to arrive before deciding on his next course of action. With the departure of the Ziling Sect people, Yao Jiaojiao started observing her surroundings. Soon, she regrouped with Ugly Gambler and Smiling Monk.

”Ahead of us is devouring phosphorus poison miasma. I'm afraid there are even more terrifying poisonous life forms inside as well. It won't be easy for us to search this place,” said Yao Jiaojiao.

”Is this actually the place we are looking for? Is there a mistake?” Smiling Monk was doubtful.

Xiang Shaoyun quickly took out the incomplete map he had obtained from Ugly Gambler and said, ”This location was found in accordance with this map. I am not sure if this is the actual place.”

Ugly Gambler ignored him and said, ”Let's go take a look together.”

And thus, he took the lead and strode toward the poisonous miasma. At the edge of the miasma, he ignored the poison and walked right into it.

”Has Ugly Gambler gone mad?” Smiling Monk exclaimed in alarm.

They might be strong, but they were no Heaven Battling Realm cultivators. How could they step right into the devouring phosphorus poison miasma?

Yao Jiaojiao said, ”This fellow is tight with Old Poison. Perhaps he got some nice treasures that can protect him in this poisonous miasma.”

She was correct. In truth, Ugly Gambler had a pill capable of curing all sorts of poisons in his mouth, which was why he had shown no fear toward the poison around him. However, the ma.s.sive number of devouring phosphorus bugs that had suddenly appeared was tricky even for him.

After two hours, he finally charged out of the miasma and shouted, ”Apart from a bunch of bugs, I found nothing. Kid, are you messing with me?”

As he said that, he flashed toward Xiang Shaoyun and gripped his neck, choking him.

”Ugly Gambler, you can't harm my little boyfriend!” Yao Jiaojiao shouted as she sent her palm over. Ugly Gambler did not dare to fall out with Yao Jiaojiao, so he quickly released Xiang Shaoyun before dodging the palm.

”Yao Jiaojiao, don't tell me you have really taken a liking for this kid,” grumbled Ugly Gambler.

”That's right. I have taken a liking to him. You can't rough him up as you wis.h.!.+” answered Yao Jiaojiao.

”Fine, I won't touch him. But if he can't give me an explanation, I will make his life hard,” said Ugly Gambler with a sneer.

”Jiaojiao, it's better we investigate this thoroughly. Who knows if this kid is playing a trick on us,” advised Smiling Monk.

”I'm not lying. The place you seek is underground, right under the poisonous miasma,” said Xiang Shaoyun confidently.

”How can you prove that?” Ugly Gambler asked.
