Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

The valley where Demon Flame Valley is located is guarded and patrolled by countless Demon Flame Valley disciples, forming an impenetrable wall around it. Only those with an invitation from Demon Flame Valley can successfully enter the valley at its entrance by presenting the invitation.

Otherwise, the disciples of Demon Flame Valley would never have allowed anyone else to enter.

Meanwhile, in Demon Flame Valley, although Fang Yan and his group of powerful figures had gone to Black Emperor City to attend the auction, everything in Demon Flame Valley was already proceeding smoothly under Fang Yan's arrangements. The disciples of Demon Flame Valley still maintained an arrogant and superior demeanor when facing outsiders.

After all, their Demon Flame Valley's sect leader is undoubtedly the strongest in the Black Corner Region. His strength as a Seven-Star Dou Zong gives them such confidence. Although their sect leader is in seclusion for many years, the strength of their Grand Elder Fang Yan is not to be underestimated. He has already stepped into the Dou Zong realm with one foot in the door. Once the Grand Elder breaks through to Dou Zong, the reputation of Demon Flame Valley will be even more terrifying.

Little did they know, their Grand Elder, who had one foot in the Dou Zong realm, had already turned to ashes within a small valley...

Outside Demon Flame Valley, on a small hilltop, under the cover of dense forest, Xiao Fan and his group successfully reached the outer perimeter of Demon Flame Valley.

Looking at the massive mountain range ahead and the forces nestled in the valleys within it, Xiao Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"This is the headquarters of Demon Flame Valley. Although Fang Yan and the others are dead, there are probably still many powerful figures lingering in their main camp."

Su Qian pointed to the valley ahead and said to Xiao Fan beside him, "We've reached their gates. Whether we hide or not doesn't really matter. We're going to fight anyway. Now that we're here, we've already achieved our goal."

After all, it was a pipe dream for so many people to enter Demon Flame Valley silently. Their initial plan was simply to catch Demon Flame Valley off guard and prevent them from gathering their forces.

Su Qian and the others also knew that the most crucial figure was still the Earth Demon Old Ghost. If the Earth Demon Old Ghost died, no one would be foolish enough to provoke Canaan Academy again. After all, if they could kill the Earth Demon Old Ghost, a Seven Star Dou Zong, then others would be no match for him.

"Okay." Xiao Fan nodded upon hearing this. Then, the group exchanged glances, grinned, and looked at the Demon Flame Valley not far away. A powerful aura instantly erupted from them.

Xiao Fan looked at the entrance of Demon Flame Valley, and in a flash, he appeared in mid-air. He reached out and slapped down a huge handprint, pressing it down towards the valley entrance.

"Boom~"

The massive palm print, obscuring the sky, crashed down, leaving a huge, deep indentation in the valley amidst the stunned expressions of the Demon Flame Valley disciples.

"Knock knock knock~ Old Demon Demon, are you home?"

Chapter 39 War begins

Su Qian and the others frowned at Xiao Fan's actions, but Xiao Yan had anticipated it. He had long since seen through his senior brother's true nature.

Back in the Jia Ma Empire, his senior brother made him carry a palace on his back while he drank, ate meat, and slept in it. Xiao Yan had already understood this when he heard that his senior brother had asked him to carry a palace on his back.

Su Qian and the others looked at Xiao Fan's actions with somewhat inexplicable distorted expressions. They exchanged glances, shook their heads, and then flew out, appearing behind Xiao Fan. They looked at the disciples of Demon Flame Valley with indifferent expressions.

The gatekeeper of Demon Flame Valley was taken aback when he saw Xiao Fan suddenly appear. Before he could speak, he heard Xiao Fan's greeting. Then, a handprint that blotted out the sky descended from the air, and the rebuke that the Demon Flame Valley disciple had not yet shouted out immediately turned into a shrill scream that broke his voice.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the gatekeeper of Demon Flame Valley ran towards the outside of the palm print as if his life depended on it.

Fortunately, Xiao Fan's attack wasn't intended to kill anyone. In addition, the gatekeepers of Demon Flame Valley were quite skilled. Although a few unlucky souls died under the palm print, quite a few disciples managed to escape. They then looked at Xiao Fan and the others with lingering fear.

When they saw Xiao Fan, and the group of powerful figures including Su Qian behind him, the disciples of Demon Flame Valley were filled with shock.

In all these years, when has anyone ever dared to offend Demon Flame Valley?

As Xiao Fan's palm struck down, the violent booming sound echoed outwards, alarming the powerful figures remaining inside Demon Flame Valley. Moreover, Xiao Fan and his group had clearly appeared outside Demon Flame Valley, and the sharp aura emanating from them was no longer concealed in the slightest. Their dazzling battle qi was as eye-catching as a beacon in the night sky outside Demon Flame Valley.

"How dare you! Who are you, you brat!"

Within the Demon Flame Valley, a Dou Huang expert dressed in a blue robe heard the violent roar coming from the valley entrance. Before he even arrived, the sound preceded his arrival, and he immediately roared out, addressing Xiao Fan and his group.

When he saw Xiao Fan and his group, the angry expression on his face instantly froze. Looking at the group, his eyes twitched and he swallowed hard.

Although he didn't recognize Xiao Fan, he was familiar with the group of Canaan Academy students behind him. He still had several sets of Canaan Academy uniforms they were wearing in his storage ring; he had taken them from a few inexperienced students as souvenirs. As for those students, all he could say was, they were quite... well-dressed.

Among the enforcement team, an instructor's eyes instantly turned red upon seeing this person, and he couldn't help but say, "Elder, this person is an elder from Demon Flame Valley. Two of the disciples I led were captured by him. If Elder Hu Qian hadn't arrived in time, we would have been wiped out that time."

Upon hearing his words, everyone looked at him coldly. The elder of Demon Flame Valley, seeing that things were not going well, tried to turn around and run away, but as soon as he turned around, an invisible force imprisoned him in place.

"Heh heh, wantonly slaughtering and humiliating my academy's disciples, do you think I'm made of mud?"

Su Qian made a fist with his right hand, and a faint chain of Dou Qi passed through his hand, imprisoning the Dou Huang of Demon Flame Valley in place. Su Qian's face was also very gloomy at this time. With a pull of his right hand, the other party landed directly in front of Su Qian and the others.

"It's a misunderstanding..."

When the elder of Demon Flame Valley saw Su Qian and the others, a layer of cold sweat appeared on his face. He didn't understand why the people from Canaan Academy had directly attacked the gate, but they hadn't received any news.

With the sect leader now in seclusion and the Grand Elder and others still attending the Black Emperor Sect auction, Canaan Academy's actions were probably premeditated.

"Elder Su Qian, our Grand Elder and others have attended the Black Emperor Sect auction and have not yet returned. If you have other matters to attend to, why don't you wait until the Grand Elder and the others return, and I will then inform you?

"Them? They're not coming back."

Su Qian looked at him, a cold glint in his eyes, and then gave him no chance to speak again. Seeing the disciples in the Demon Flame Valley becoming increasingly chaotic, and the approaching auras of powerful figures, Su Qian did not hesitate. He reached out and pinched, and the powerful figure in his hand completely lost its aura.

"Fellow students of Canaan Academy, let us now retaliate against everything that Demon Flame Valley has done, and seek justice for our instructors and students!"

"kill!"

"You scum from Demon Flame Valley, I've had enough of you! Come on, come on again!"

"Hahaha, little girl, did you see that? Your teacher is here to avenge you!"

As Su Qian finished speaking, the group of Canaan Academy instructors behind him, looking at the Demon Flame Valley ahead, showed no fear and charged forward with shouts.

Meanwhile, inside Demon Flame Valley, with Xiao Fan and his group exposed, the elders who remained behind also noticed the great change outside. They all rushed towards the valley entrance and engaged in battle with the group of powerful figures from Canaan Academy.

However, now that all the elites in Demon Flame Valley have been gone, Fang Yan and the others died at Xiao Fan's hands, the strongest person in the valley is only at the Dou Huang level. With Hu Qian, Su Qian and Old Man Ying Shan restraining them, there is no problem at all.

At this moment, apart from Xiao Yan and Su Qian, everyone else had already entered the Demon Flame Valley. Even Zi Yan was no exception. With her terrifying strength at the Dou Huang realm and her fearsome power, the experts of the Demon Flame Valley were no match for her.

Xiao Fan did not interfere much with the battle below. Under the coverage of his soul power, everything in Demon Flame Valley was exposed. There was only one place where a hidden, vast aura made Xiao Fan's eyes narrow slightly.

"I've found the place where the old demon is in seclusion. I'm leaving this place to you."

Xiao Fan addressed Xiao Yan and Su Qian, and seeing them nod, he didn't hesitate any longer. He transformed into a black streak and sped off towards the back of Demon Flame Valley.

Upon seeing Xiao Fan's actions, a hint of worry flashed in Su Qian's eyes. Then, like Xiao Yan, she charged towards the Demon Flame Valley experts below.

With the help of Xiao Yan, Su Qian, and Elder Ying Shan, the instructors from Canaan Academy did not encounter any significant obstacles.

.............

After traversing a considerable distance behind Demon Flame Valley, Xiao Fan was now quite far from the valley entrance. The sounds of battle shouts and roaring battle qi from the valley had all disappeared.

In front of Xiao Fan was a wide lake, and faint wisps of icy blue mist emanated from its surface.

Chapter 40 The Old Demon

Looking at the faint mist above the lake, Xiao Fan's eyes flashed with a hint of fighting spirit. It was within this lake that he sensed an extremely powerful fluctuation of energy, making the identity of the opponent almost obvious.

"Old Demon Demon, aren't you going to come out and greet your guests?"

Xiao Fan strolled to the edge of the lake, stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the empty lake in front of him, a sharp glint in his eyes, and spoke in a low voice.

As Xiao Fan finished speaking, ripples gradually appeared on the originally calm lake surface. The lake, which was as calm as a mirror, was suddenly churned up with surging waves. In the blink of an eye, a giant wave, as tall as a person, crashed towards the edge of the lake and was about to hit Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan seemed oblivious to the approaching giant wave, remaining standing still without making a move.

The surging waves had barely left the lake's boundaries when a surge of blue energy instantly spread upwards, freezing the giant waves from their roots. In a mere instant, the wave, which could have swallowed a person whole, solidified into ice crystals.

The entire lake, along with the undulations of the waves, transformed into a massive ice crystal. A terrifying chill instantly surged from the lake, covering the surrounding trees with a layer of silver frost.

Xiao Fan's gaze fell upon the lake. Sometime during the night, an old man with blood-red hair, dressed in a yellow robe with skulls, stood silently on the lake like a statue. The old man's face was extremely thin, and even the outline of his bones was clearly visible. At first glance, he looked like a skull, and his deeply sunken eyes gleamed with a ghostly light, revealing a hint of eeriness and sinister intent like will-o'-the-wisps.

Around the old man, wisps of black, icy mist swirled and danced, emanating a chilling aura. This man was none other than the infamous Earth Demon Old Ghost, who was renowned throughout the Black Corner Region.

"who are you?"

The old demon slowly raised his head, and was slightly taken aback when he saw Xiao Fan's face. A hint of surprise flashed in his deep-set eyes, and then a shrill voice came from his mouth.

No sooner had he finished speaking than he sensed the battle raging in the Demon Flame Valley. The old demon looked at Xiao Fan with a hint of surprise and asked again, "Are you from Canaan Academy?"

In the valley, fighting alongside the disciples of Demon Flame Valley were none other than the powerful figures from Canaan Academy. Among them, the old demon ghost still vaguely remembered Su Qian's aura.

"You can think so."

Xiao Fan nodded at the old demon, then said, "I've heard that the old demon's icy aura is incredibly chilling. He's been in the Black Corner Region for many years and has few rivals. I, Xiao Fan, have come here to learn from him."

The old demon sizing up Xiao Fan, sensing the terrifying aura emanating from him, nodded in satisfaction and said, "Not bad. With your talent, to have reached this level is simply genius. It's just a pity that challenging me will be the most regrettable decision of your life. What I enjoy most in my life is torturing and killing geniuses, especially monsters like you. I really like it."

As soon as the old demon finished speaking, a bone-chilling cold rose into the sky, and even though they were far apart, Xiao Fan felt a chill.

Meanwhile, far away in the valley, the group that was fighting, including Su Qian, sensed the vast aura rising from the Demon Flame Valley. A hint of fear appeared in their eyes as they looked towards the back of the Demon Flame Valley, their eyes flickering.

"laugh!"

Sensing the aura emanating from the Earth Demon Old Ghost, Xiao Fan didn't underestimate him. With a flash, leaving an afterimage, Xiao Fan suddenly appeared in front of the Earth Demon Old Ghost. Black flames swirled around his fist, emanating a violent aura, and he smashed it down towards the Earth Demon Old Ghost's forehead.

"Hmph! Like an ant trying to shake a tree."

The old demon looked at Xiao Fan's attack, a hint of disdain flashing in his sunken eyes. The black mist on his body spread upwards, quickly forming a thick wall of ice in front of Xiao Fan.

"boom!"

Xiao Fan's fist slammed into the ice wall, instantly creating a deep crater, from which cracks spread outwards.

Seeing that the Chaos Fire in his hand had not broken through the ice wall of the Earth Demon Old Ghost in the first place, Xiao Fan's face showed a hint of surprise. You should know that the power of the Chaos Fire had been increased to a higher level after absorbing the Tortoise Spirit Earth Fire and the Transformation Fire. Now it was actually blocked by the Earth Demon Old Ghost.

Little did he know, the old demon was also surprised when he sensed the Chaos Fire in Xiao Fan's hand. Although his ice wall seemed casual, it was formed from the source of his own fighting spirit. The black mist floating around him seemed to be just simple cold air, but it was a fighting technique that he had explored over the years, making it impossible for his opponent to defend against. Now, however, it was being countered by the flame in Xiao Fan's hand.

The old demon couldn't help but glance at the Chaos Fire in Xiao Fan's hand with surprise.

Having sensed Xiao Fan's strength, the Earth Demon Old Ghost no longer held back.

"Thousand Fantasy Black Ice Thorns!"

The Earth Demon Old Ghost looked at Xiao Fan, who was right in front of him, and let out a cold shout. Immediately, a surge of cold air burst out from the Earth Demon Old Ghost. Xiao Fan sensed the Earth Demon Old Ghost's aura, his eyes narrowed, and he flew back.

As Xiao Fan retreated, the Earth Demon Old Ghost raised his voice, and hundreds of pitch-black ice spikes continued to condense, emitting a bone-chilling cold. Looking at Xiao Fan in the distance, the Earth Demon Old Ghost pointed his finger, and ice spikes chased after Xiao Fan.

"Ok?"
