As soon as he finished speaking, the old man in the golden robe followed Yun Ling and headed towards the back mountain of Yunlan Sect.
They soon arrived at the place where Yunshan usually cultivated.
After bringing the old man in the golden robe here, Yunling turned and left.
"I wonder what your name is?"
As Yunling left, Yunshan appeared before the old man in the golden robe, looking at him with a smile.
The old man in the golden robe noticed Yun Shan's appearance, but his expression didn't change at all. He said directly, "Alright, just a Dou Zong. It's not like I haven't seen him before. As for my name..."
A flash of hatred and pain crossed the old man's face before he spoke calmly, "It doesn't matter anymore, but we all have a common enemy: Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan!"
Yunshan looked at the old man in the golden robe with curiosity before speaking, "The Xiao family? They're nothing but two clowns. What do they have to do with me? If it weren't for Medusa's appearance, the Xiao family would be like ants, easily destroyed."
"Haha, really?"
Upon hearing Yun Shan's words, the old man in the golden robe revealed a mocking expression, and then said, "Then why, throughout my journey into the Jia Ma Empire, have I only heard rumors about Xiao Fan of the Xiao family escaping unscathed from the hands of a Dou Zong?" (Hint: This is the end)
Upon hearing the words of the golden-robed elder, Yunshan's face showed a hint of anger. He glanced coldly at the elder before speaking, "Dealing with the mere Xiao family is nothing. They are as insignificant as ants. With the strength of my Yunlan Sect, we do not need your intervention."
"Really? What if Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan were backed by the number one alchemist of the Dou Qi Continent, the Medicine Venerable?" (Still haven't guessed?)
The old man in the golden robe spoke calmly, but his words were like a pebble thrown into a lake, instantly causing a huge uproar in the back mountain of Yunlan Sect.
P.S. Seriously? There's someone who hasn't guessed it yet?
Chapter 32 Sharpening the Knife for the Pill Emperor
As soon as the old man in the golden robe finished speaking, Yun Shan's pupils contracted sharply. He swallowed hard and then retorted, "Hehe, Your Excellency... Your Excellency is joking, isn't he?"
As soon as Yunshan finished speaking, before the old man in the golden robe could even open his mouth, a powerful wave of energy emanated from the mountain behind Yunshan.
Yunshan sensed the aura behind him, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and then he stood up and looked behind him.
After sensing the aura of a Dou Zong emanating from the back mountain, the old man in the golden robe glanced at Yun Shan with surprise.
Wasn't it said that Yunshan was the only Dou Zong who had just broken through in the Yunlan Sect? How come another Dou Zong has appeared in the back now?
However, this is for the best. The stronger the Yunlan Sect becomes, the greater my chances of getting revenge will be.
As Yunshan and the old man in the golden robe moved, a thick cloud of black mist quickly flew towards their location from the back mountain. It then gathered beside Yunshan, and a faint figure appeared within the black mist.
"Jiejiejie..."
A chilling scream rang out from within the black mist. The old man in the golden robe looked at the figure that flashed out from within the black mist, his eyes narrowed, and he blurted out, "A person from the Soul Palace?"
As soon as the old man in the golden robe finished speaking, Yunshan's body trembled, and the strange laughter of the figure within the black mist stopped abruptly, causing the surging black mist to pause.
Although it was completely quiet at the moment, the old man in the golden robe felt the gaze from Yunshan, and within the black mist, a sharp gaze was constantly scrutinizing him.
"Who exactly are you? With your strength, you are not qualified to even come into contact with the Soul Palace."
A faint voice rang out from within the black mist, instantly increasing the pressure on the golden-robed elder.
"And you, so-called Medicine Venerable, do you know the seriousness of this matter? Tell me everything you know, or else... hehehehe... I don't mind letting you experience my methods."
The mysterious figures within the clouds and the black mist were all focused on the golden-robed elder. The space behind the golden-robed elder had long been controlled by the combined forces of the Cloud Mountain and the Soul Palace experts. With the golden-robed elder's strength as a Seven-Star Dou Huang, there was no way he could escape from their grasp.
The old man in the golden robe felt the killing intent emanating from Yunshan and the experts from the Soul Palace, and his expression instantly turned ugly. However, he was now under their roof, and besides, he needed their strength to take revenge. Thinking of this, the old man in the golden robe sighed helplessly, and then said, "I am not a person of the Jia Ma Empire."
"I am from the Black Corner Region. In the past, when my younger brother and I joined forces, we were able to contend with a Dou Zong. Therefore, the people of the Black Corner Region call us the Golden and Silver Elders, and I am Elder Jin."
Looking at Yunshan and the people from the Soul Palace, Elder Jin slowly began to speak, revealing his origins.
"Back in the Black Corner Region, Xiao Fan and Canaan Academy..."
As Elder Jin gradually recounted the events, Yunshan and the Soul Palace experts learned that so many things had happened in the Black Corner Region.
The strange fire broke free of its cage. Han Feng summoned experts to seal the strange fire again. The Black Alliance was established, Canaan Academy went to war, Han Feng died, Protector Sha died, Elder Yin died, and the Eight Doors and the Earth Flame Sect were wiped out.
"Protector Sha, I never thought that idiot would actually die at their hands. Hehehe, what a piece of trash."
From within the black mist, a hoarse voice kept emanating. Perhaps because of his excitement, every now and then a small section of black chain would emerge from the black mist, like a nimble little snake, before twisting back into the black mist.
"Hehehe, but I also have to thank him. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have known that the Medicine Venerable was actually in the hands of such a little brat. Isn't this heaven throwing this credit into my hands? Hehehehehehehe..."
The black mist surged, and then the gaze within it returned to Elder Jin, saying, "You can call me Protector Jiu. You're quite good; you've brought me such valuable information."
During his conversation, Protector Jiu could not hide his excitement.
After all, the Soul Palace is a place where the strong prey on the weak; only when your merits are strong enough can you obtain a higher status.
These Dou Zong (Battle Masters) may seem incredibly prestigious in such a remote place as the Northwest Continent, but what is the reality?
In the end, they are nothing more than cannon fodder at the bottom. Every protector has only one way to make a contribution: the quantity and quality of the souls they hand over, or whether they have made any great contributions.
However, now, Yao Chen, the Medicine Venerable who escaped from the schemes of the Venerables, is right under his nose. Now, he has lost only one-tenth of his strength and can only hide in a small storage ring to eke out a living.
As for that brat named Xiao Yan, Protector Jiu didn't take him seriously at all. He was just a minor Dou Ling, someone he could easily destroy.
Having received this exciting news from Elder Jin, Protector Jiu couldn't wait a moment longer. His black mist surged, and he instructed Yunshan beside him, "Yunshan, you should know what to do, right? As long as this matter succeeds, not only will you help Yunlan Sect leave the Northwest Continent, but you will also be able to obtain the protection of the Soul Palace within the Central Continent!"
Yunshan was able to successfully break through to the Dou Zong realm because of the Soul Palace's dispatch of Protector Jiu to monitor the Xiao family.
If it weren't for the ancient clan's prior agreement that the Soul Palace didn't want to completely sever ties with them, the Xiao family could be slaughtered at will by Protector Jiu alone.
Upon hearing Protector Jiu's instructions, Yunshan nodded without hesitation, then said with concern, "No problem, but judging from the situation just now, the Xiao family's forces are not lacking."
“Medusa and Yun Yun are now on the Xiao family’s side. Moreover, if Yunlan Sect really goes to war with them, the stance of the Jia Ma Empire’s royal family and the Guter family is hard to say. Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong will not stand on Yunlan Sect’s side.”
After pondering for a moment, Yunshan said, "Moreover, Xiao Fan's own strength is not weak. Furthermore, even if Medicine Venerable is just a soul body, judging from his performance in the Black Corner Region, he probably still has the combat power of a Dou Zong. If we calculate it this way, they have two Dou Zongs and several Dou Huangs. The strength of Yunlan Sect is simply not enough to contend with them."
Upon hearing Yunshan's words, Protector Jiu laughed twice and then said, "He's just a Dou Zong. You only need to stop Medusa. As for Yao Chen, hehehe, I will naturally take good care of him."
After a pause, Protector Jiu continued, "Also, you can have the elders of the Yunlan Sect who have reached the Dou Wang level come over. I have a way to raise them all to the Dou Huang level."
Upon hearing Protector Jiu's words, Yunshan's eyes narrowed, a hint of surprise flashing across his face. He gave Protector Jiu a deep look before nodding.
......
Deep within the Monster Mountain Range, in the territory of the Serpent People, and in the Serpent People's sacred ground.
"What!!?"
On a platform inscribed with a complex array, You Ruo suddenly stood up from the center of the array, looking at the four snake-people elders around the array with a surprised expression. She covered her lower abdomen with her hand and said incredulously, "I...I really...?"
"Yes."
Seeing You Ruo's reaction, the Grand Elder stroked his beard and said with a smile, "The Snake-People Clan's secret techniques have never failed. From our observation just now, you are pregnant."
"Hahaha, very good." The Third Elder clapped his hands and laughed, then said, "Now that you have reached the Dou Zong realm and awakened the Devouring Python bloodline, this child will definitely be the most dazzling genius of our Snake-People race!"
Not far behind the four elders, Zi Yan stared wide-eyed at You Ruo's belly with curiosity. Then, she flashed to You Ruo's side and leaned close to You Ruo's lower abdomen, asking curiously, "Sister You Ruo, are you pregnant?"
You Ruo stroked her lower abdomen with her left hand and rubbed Zi Yan's head with her right hand, a happy smile on her face, and said, "Yes, that's right."
Xiao Fan and Yun Yun went to the Chuyun Empire. Zi Yan had stayed with the Snake-People Clan. During their time with the Snake-People Clan, for some unknown reason, the four elders, who were usually very intolerant of outsiders, did not say much when they saw Zi Yan. They just muttered a few words in the dark from time to time and were very polite to Zi Yan.
Even the usually solemn holy land agreed to allow her to come with You Ruo.
Although You Ruo had asked the four elders, she did not receive an answer. Instead, the second elder approached You Ruo with a mysterious expression and said, "We are not sure about this little girl's identity either, but she must have an extraordinary background. Let's make good friends with her."
You Ruo remained silent in response to the Second Elder's words. She had always regarded Zi Yan as a younger sister, and even if the four elders hadn't reminded her, she would still have been very kind to Zi Yan.
"Alright, now we need to talk about how to raise this child."
The Grand Elder waved his hand to interrupt the crowd, looked calmly at You Ruo, and said, "The gestation of our Snake-Human royal family takes an extraordinary amount of time, at least three years. During this time, the most important thing is to lay a solid foundation for it."
“When we discussed this issue, Xiao Fan promised to give the child the best pills, and only he, as a sixth-grade alchemist, could refine them. We cannot go back on our word.”
......
Outside the city of Utan, inside a hidden cave.
Yao Lao floated in mid-air, looking at Xiao Yan inside the cave with a solemn expression.
A strange, pale blue flame, resembling a water sphere, was being gradually refined by Xiao Yan.
A pale blue light shone out, making Xiao Yan's face appear strangely distorted.
"Give it to me, Ning!"
After an unknown amount of time, with a soft utterance from Xiao Yan, the pale blue Sea Heart Flame was completely refined and absorbed by him.
boom!
With the absorption of the Sea Heart Flame, Xiao Yan's strength broke through again, directly advancing from the peak of Dou Ling to the level of a three-star Dou Wang.
"Four realms!" Xiao Yan opened his eyes, looking at Yao Lao with excitement and joy.
"Take a look at how far your Burning Technique has evolved!"
Seeing that Xiao Yan had succeeded, Yao Lao breathed a sigh of relief and spoke softly.
Chapter 33 The End
Upon hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan closed his eyes and carefully sensed it for a moment before opening them and excitedly saying to Yao Lao, "Low-level Earth Rank!"
Three times, Xiao Yan devoured everything, from the Azure Water Flame to the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. He had originally planned to devour the Fallen Heart Flame from Canaan Academy, but due to the changes brought about by the invasion of the Black Corner Region's experts, Xiao Fan was devoured by the Fallen Heart Flame and then refined by Xiao Fan. Therefore, Xiao Yan did not obtain it. However, Xiao Yan had no regrets about this, after all, he was already very fortunate that Xiao Fan was able to survive being devoured by the Fallen Heart Flame.
In addition, having now devoured the Sea Heart Flame, Xiao Yan has actually suffered no loss. Moreover, he has finally evolved the Burning Technique to the low-level Earth Rank.
The cultivation technique has undergone a great evolution, which means that Xiao Yan's internal fighting spirit will be much more abundant in the future, and his strength will be vastly different from before.
As for the other Fallen Heart Flame beneath Canaan Academy, Xiao Yan is completely unaware of its existence due to Xiao Fan's concealment. Xiao Fan has no intention of telling Xiao Yan either, since the fire lizard clan within the magma is still far too powerful for Xiao Yan at his current level. In Xiao Fan's view, Xiao Yan must at least reach the strength of a Dou Wang to be qualified to know about the existence of that underground magma world; otherwise, recklessly entering would be tantamount to suicide.
After all, the fire lizard race was created by the ancient emperor Tuoshe to protect the ancient emperor's cave. In their minds, there is something called a fire pearl. For ordinary people, the violent energy contained in the fire pearl has no effect at all, but for people like Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan who possess different flames, it has no effect at all. On the contrary, it can greatly enhance their strength.
