"it is good!"
Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Zi Yan's aggrieved expression vanished. She glanced at Mo Ya ahead, a mischievous smile appearing on her face. Then, with a flash, she charged towards Mo Ya.
Mo Ya noticed Zi Yan's attack, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes. He admitted that this little girl had good talent, but did she think she could deal with him? It was laughable.
While others couldn't sense it, Mo Ya could easily detect Zi Yan's attack. With a swift movement, Mo Ya tried to leave his original spot.
However, just as he was about to leave, he found that the feeling of being watched by a monster had returned, and an indescribable sense of panic arose in his heart, leaving him standing there blankly.
Zi Yan suddenly appeared in front of Mo Ya, chuckling strangely, and punched Mo Ya directly in the stomach with her delicate fist.
Zi Yan's punch was incredibly powerful; one punch was enough to severely injure Kui Sha, a three-star Dou Huang. If it landed on Mo Ya, Mo Ya would naturally not be able to withstand it either.
If Mo Ya could resist, dealing with Zi Yan would naturally not be a problem. However, now that Mo Ya is being targeted by Xiao Fan, he can only stand still and take the beating. Every punch makes Mo Ya's face contort.
At first, the people in the hall did not notice anything, until Zi Yan's fist landed on Mo Ya, and they realized that something was wrong.
Why doesn't Young Master Moya avoid it?
"Because you're not afraid?"
"Bullshit, didn't you see that Young Master Moya was spitting blood?"
As Zi Yan's fists continued to land on Mo Yan's body, Mo Yan's face twisted in pain, he spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turned pale, and his gaze toward Xiao Fan was filled with fear and pleading.
As for Kui Sha lying on the ground, he was also dumbfounded. He stared blankly at Mo Ya, who was being beaten by Zi Yan. A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. But when he saw the blood that Mo Ya was spitting out, he suddenly realized and said loudly, "Young Master Mo Ya must have been ambushed by them. Everyone, this is the territory of the Black Emperor Sect. If something really happens, none of you here will be able to escape."
Upon hearing Kui Sha's words, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed. They were not stupid; they had all witnessed the conflict between the two sides. How could Mo Ya allow himself to be slaughtered? It was obvious that he had fallen into the other party's trap.
"Young man, leave some room for maneuver, so you can meet again in the future. We're all here for the auction hosted by the Black Emperor Sect, so how about we call it even?"
Among the crowd, a middle-aged man who looked to be around forty years old and had a calm demeanor hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Xiao Fan and spoke.
Seeing that someone had taken the lead, the others also chimed in, because what Kui Sha said earlier was true. If the young master of the Black Emperor Sect were really killed in front of them, they, the bystanders, would probably be hated by the Black Emperor Sect.
Xiao Fan ignored the middle-aged man's words and continued to watch Zi Yan keep hitting Mo Ya. However, Zi Yan had already vented her anger. She punched Mo Ya away and lay down next to Kui Sha. Then, feeling refreshed, she skipped over to Xiao Fan and said, "Alright, this time, I'll let him go."
Zi Yan knocked Mo Ya back with a punch, and Xiao Fan had already given up suppressing Mo Ya. However, at this moment, Mo Ya's face was extremely pale, and there were still messy fist marks and footprints on his body. He was barely breathing and his eyes were filled with fear as he looked at Xiao Fan.
Just then, several figures flew over from a distance and landed inside the Black Emperor Pavilion. Upon seeing Mo Ya lying on the ground, their expressions changed. An old man in a blue robe quickly approached Mo Ya and exclaimed in surprise, "Young Master!"
The old man in the green robe examined Mo Ya's injuries, and then a strong killing intent emanated from him. His gaze swept across the scene and finally landed on Xiao Fan opposite him.
"Was it you who did it?"
Upon hearing the words of the old man in the green robe, the group of Black Emperor Sect experts following behind him revealed anger in their eyes, and their gazes toward Xiao Fan were filled with killing intent.
"Elder He, it's...it's them!"
Seeing the Black Emperor Sect's reinforcements arrive, Kui Sha on the ground glared venomously at Xiao Fan and the others, saying, "I don't know what methods they used to prevent the young master from fighting back, and then that bitch made a move and beat the young master into this state."
Hearing Kui Sha's words, Xiao Fan sighed and looked at Kui Sha, saying, "Originally, you were just a pebble in someone else's hands. I only wanted to teach you a lesson, but you courted death, so don't blame me. Remember, in your next life, when you're someone else's tool, keep your eyes wide open and see who you can't mess with."
As soon as Xiao Fan finished speaking, a terrifying power erupted from his body. Sensing the aura emanating from Xiao Fan, everyone's faces showed fear. Kui Sha, in particular, froze, a hint of terror flashing in his eyes. Recalling what he had just done, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes. He had actually tried to deal with a Dou Zong expert.
The pitch-black flames roared past, and Kui Sha, who was lying on the ground, completely disappeared. The old man in the green robe was filled with boundless fear. When the black flames roared past him, he clearly felt the breath of death.
He swallowed hard and looked at Xiao Fan across from him with trembling eyes.
Chapter 23 The Elixir is Completed [Fifth Update]
With Xiao Fan's Dou Zong strength revealed, no one present dared to refute him. They could only look at Xiao Fan with fear. With such a big event happening, Mo Tianxing, the sect master of the Black Emperor Sect, naturally could not sit still.
Mo Tianxing, the sect leader of the Black Emperor Sect, possessed the strength of a four-star Dou Zong. Upon hearing his subordinate's report, he immediately appeared inside the Black Emperor Pavilion.
Mo Tianxing entered the Black Emperor Pavilion, glanced at Mo Ya lying on the ground, and breathed a sigh of relief. Although Mo Ya was seriously injured, he was not in any life-threatening danger. Only then did Mo Tianxing turn his gaze to Xiao Fan opposite him.
But when he saw Xiao Fan's face, a look of surprise flashed across his face. Although he had already learned from his subordinates' descriptions that this mysterious Dou Zong was quite young, he still couldn't hide his shock when he saw Xiao Fan's appearance in person.
"I am Mo Tianxing of the Black Emperor Sect. I have already learned the details of this matter. It was indeed my son who acted improperly and disturbed you. The Black Emperor Pavilion treats all participants in this auction equally. The Kui Lang Gang provoked others without cause and acted recklessly within the Black Emperor Pavilion. They are hereby expelled from Black Emperor City."
"My son acted unfairly and disturbed your enjoyment. This is a small apology. May I ask how you address me?"
After entering the Black Emperor Pavilion, Mo Tianxing swiftly and decisively characterized the actions of the Kui Lang Gang and assured the others of the Black Emperor Pavilion's impartiality. Only then did he look at Xiao Fan, take the initiative to humble himself, and resolve the conflict.
Looking at Mo Tianxing's handling of the situation, Xiao Fan couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Mo Tianxing was truly adept at hiding his true intentions. Unless he was absolutely certain of victory, he would usually take the initiative to avoid trouble.
Just like in the original story, the Earth Demon Old Ghost gathered powerful figures to launch a strong attack on Canaan Academy, and in the end, Demon Flame Valley was destroyed. However, the Black Emperor Sect still lived very well in the Black Corner Region, all thanks to Mo Tianxing's arrangements.
Even the Bodhi Transformation Saliva and the dried corpse of an eighth-order magical beast, which were being frantically sought after by everyone, were resisted by the Black Emperor Sect.
Xiao Fan couldn't help but sigh that only someone like Mo Tianxing was truly suited to develop a sect in the Black Corner Region.
"Sect Master Mo is too kind. I am Long Ba, and I was a bit too heavy-handed. However, I am a person who likes peace and quiet. When my mood is disturbed, I cannot help but act without restraint. I hope Sect Master Mo will not take offense."
Xiao Fan did not refuse Mo Tianxing's so-called apology and shamelessly accepted it, after all, he now wished he could pry off all the black mirror stones embedded outside the Black Emperor City.
Seeing that Xiao Fan had accepted the apology, Mo Tianxing felt relieved. He cupped his hands in greeting to Xiao Fan and said with a smile, "Brother Long, you are so young yet you have reached such a level. Your talent is truly terrifying. Among all the people I have seen in all these years, you are number one!"
After speaking, Mo Tianxing took out an elegant invitation from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Fan, saying, "As a brother of Long's status, you naturally cannot sit in the hall on the day of the auction. With this invitation, the disciples of the sect will make proper arrangements for you."
Upon hearing Mo Tianxing's words, Xiao Fan accepted the invitation from him with a smile on his face. He then took his leave and returned to his room with Xiao Yan and Zi Yan.
After Xiao Fan left, Mo Tianxing nodded and smiled at everyone in the hall. He then instructed his men to return the patrols near the Black Emperor Pavilion to prevent any fighting. Only then did he leave the Black Emperor Pavilion with the seriously injured Mo Ya.
The events that occurred within the Black Emperor Pavilion spread after everyone left. Upon hearing of the existence of the mysterious Dou Zong within the Black Emperor Pavilion, all the forces participating in the auction gradually became wary. Subsequently, no one dared to provoke any more disputes within the Black Emperor Pavilion, and they quietly awaited the arrival of the auction.
The very next day, the powerful figures from Demon Flame Valley who had participated in the auction also entered the Black Emperor Pavilion. Among the Demon Flame Valley group, a young man and the gray-robed elder behind him, upon hearing what had happened in the Black Emperor Pavilion, remained quite calm and did not cause any disturbance.
Inside the Black Emperor Pavilion, Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan were also busy, using the medicinal herbs they had to continuously refine pills in preparation for the upcoming auction.
After discussing it, Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan decided on the type of pill they wanted to refine: a sixth-grade pill called the Breakthrough Pill.
The Breakthrough Pill is a top-tier pill among sixth-grade pills, extremely difficult to refine, and its value is naturally immeasurable. Although the Breakthrough Pill is of little use to Dou Zong experts, it might be very coveted by Dou Huang experts and major forces, as it could potentially add another Dou Zong expert to their ranks.
The refining of the Breakthrough Pill was originally very time-consuming, since the extraction of several of the ingredients was quite troublesome. However, this time, Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan decided to work together to refine it.
After all, they had a great understanding of each other and were both skilled in alchemy. Working together to refine the medicine was also to save time.
Two days later, a dense energy fluctuation emanated from the pavilion where Xiao Fan and the others were staying, and then a devastating beam of light shot out from the pavilion and soared into the sky.
Such fluctuations naturally attracted the attention of many people.
"This is the pill-forming fluctuation of a high-grade pill. Could it be a seventh-grade pill?"
"Impossible. The fluctuations of a seventh-grade pill's formation are far more terrifying than this, and it's accompanied by pill lightning. This should only be the fluctuations of a sixth-grade pill's formation. However, the phenomenon is so great that it's probably among the top of the sixth-grade pills."
"A sixth-grade pill... Could it be that old fellow Qi Shan from the Black Emperor Sect?"
"Qi Shan has only recently broken through to the sixth grade of alchemy. He can't possibly refine pills of this grade. I never expected that there would be such a master alchemist hidden in the Black Emperor Pavilion."
At this moment, a dense crowd emerged one after another, searching for a place to refine pills.
Soon, they saw the attic from which the vibrations were coming, and many people showed expressions of surprise.
"It's actually the pavilion where that Dou Zong expert is located, and there's even a sixth-grade alchemist in his team."
"Look, those are people from Demon Flame Valley, and people from Canaan Academy are here too. Do you think they'll start fighting?"
"That's unlikely, considering everyone's here at this time for the auction..."
At the location of the Demon Flame Valley crowd, the leader was none other than Fang Yan, the Great Elder of Demon Flame Valley, followed by a figure shrouded in a gray robe.
"A sixth-grade alchemist? When did the Black Corner Region acquire such a master alchemist?" The gray-robed man behind Fang Yan looked at the commotion below and said in a hoarse voice, "However... if he is disturbed by others at this time, this alchemist will probably be seriously injured, and perhaps even suffer great damage to his soul..."
Upon hearing this, Fang Yan revealed a sinister smile.
......
Inside the room, Xiao Yan was using his soul power to continuously refine the pills that were about to be finished in the medicine cauldron. After Xiao Fan saw that there was no major problem, he naturally noticed the movements outside.
With a flash, Xiao Fan appeared on the pavilion. Looking at the dense crowd around him, the aura of a Dou Zong surged forth, and he said calmly, "Anyone who steps within ten feet will die."
Upon seeing Xiao Fan appear, no one dared to offend him and all retreated, fearing that it might cause Xiao Fan to misunderstand.
Chapter 24 The auction begins
Upon seeing Xiao Fan's sudden appearance, Fang Yan's expression changed. He narrowed his eyes and said softly, "Is this the Dou Zong who was rumored a few days ago?"
The surrounding crowd dispersed, leaving Fang Yan and the figure behind him standing out. Xiao Fan's gaze fell on them.
"Demon Flame Valley..."
Xiao Fan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the badge on Fang Yan's clothes. A golden light flashed in his eyes, and he activated his Golden Eyes, focusing on the gray-clad man behind Fang Yan.
"Two-star Dou Zong..."
Xiao Fan looked at the gray-clad man behind Fang Yan. In the original story, this was Han Feng, who had died and was reborn as a four-star Dou Zong with the help of Demon Flame Valley and Soul Palace. However, Han Feng no longer had the chance to be reborn, and the person following Fang Yan was now someone else.
"Could they be from the Soul Hall?"
Xiao Fan looked at the gray-robed man, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes. After all, in Demon Flame Valley, only the Earth Demon Old Ghost was truly terrifying in strength. Apart from him, even the Great Elder Fang Yan's strength was only at the peak of Dou Huang.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the sky, the powerful figures from Canaan Academy, out of curiosity, came out to watch the alchemy being performed.
"Isn't that Xiao Fan?"
Within Canaan Academy, an elderly man in a fiery red robe stood at the forefront; he was none other than Old Man Huo, the head of the Alchemy Department in the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy. The appearance of the Bodhi Incarnation Saliva had even drawn him out.
"Hehe, when I heard these people's descriptions of the Dou Zong experts in the Black Emperor Pavilion, I guessed that it was Xiao Fan and his group. After all, their situation was the same as what Wu Hao said. I just didn't expect that Xiao Fan had actually broken through to the Dou Zong level."
Behind Old Man Huo stood an elderly man with graying hair, none other than Su Qian, the Grand Elder of the Inner Court, who looked at Xiao Fan with a smile.
"Those are people from Demon Flame Valley, right? Should we go up and help them?" Old Man Huo looked at Fang Yan and the gray-clad man left in the arena, then turned to look at Su Qian beside him.
"No need, we don't need to worry about it. It's not a good time to meet now. Let's give Demon Flame Valley a surprise." Su Qian glanced at Fang Yan in the arena, shook his head, and said calmly.
The relationship between Canaan Academy and Demon Flame Valley is not good these days. Since we've run into each other here, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with the people from Demon Flame Valley after the auction ends.
