Chapter 107 The Conference Concludes [Eleventh Update]
"The Corpse Arm of the Underworld!"
On the plaza, after Wang Chen unleashed the Yellow Spring Blood Technique, he let out another low shout, and instantly, pitch-black energy adhered to his right hand, turning his entire right arm into a pitch-black color.
A strong stench of decay emanated from Wang Chen's right arm.
"boom!"
Wang Chen moved swiftly, his right arm slamming out powerfully. A phantom fist imprint shot out from his right arm, and a dark spatial rift spread out. The dark energy touched the silverwood, causing it to wither instantly, as if it had encountered its nemesis...
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, Wang Chen's jet-black fist imprint clashed with Xiao Yan's bluish-brown Six Harmonies Flame...
The instant the Six Harmonies Fire made contact with Wang Chen's fist imprint, a thought flashed through his mind, and a wisp of the fused Glazed Heart Fire attached itself to it, flying towards Wang Chen's location.
"boom!"
The collision between the Six Harmonies Fire and the fist imprint instantly unleashed a terrifying energy fluctuation across the plaza. The Silverwood Plaza, which was originally filled with sword shadows, instantly developed a huge crater under the impact of this energy fluctuation. Then, cracks as thick as thighs spread out from the center of the explosion, covering most of the plaza.
As the energy raged, a figure was sent flying backward, crashing to the ground and then flying backward, carving a massive crack hundreds of meters long into the earth...
Everyone's gaze fell upon the pitiful Wang Chen within the crack, and a brief silence descended upon them.
"Pfft!"
Wang Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, and his aura weakened once again. Inside his body, a Glazed Heart Flame was constantly destroying his meridians. For a moment, even mobilizing his battle qi became a pipe dream.
"Hehehe, good, good, good! Kid, you really have surprised me!"
On the high platform, Venerable Huangquan watched Wang Chen's defeat, his entire body exuding a violent killing intent. He stared at Xiao Yan in the square and shouted repeatedly.
Sensing the furious killing intent and oppressive aura emanating from Venerable Huangquan, Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, then cupped his hands towards Venerable Huangquan and said, "Hehe, I have completed the agreement. From now on, I will not disturb you any longer."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan walked over to Xiao Fan's spot outside the arena.
On the high platform, Venerable Huangquan watched Xiao Yan leave arrogantly, his eyes flashing with killing intent. But in the end, he simply waved his hand, walked back to his seat with a cold expression, and did not make a move again.
Seeing that Venerable Huangquan had no intention of making a move, Xiao Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to Xiao Fan's side. Lin Yan looked at Xiao Yan with surprise, clearly still unable to process the news that Xiao Yan had defeated Wang Chen.
On the mountaintop, everyone watched Xiao Yan stride away, and for a moment, an eerie silence fell over them.
Just then, Feng Qing'er, who had been standing still, focused her eyes on Zi Yan again, following Xiao Yan's movements.
Zi Yan felt Feng Qing'er's gaze and glared back without hesitation, her eyes filled with disdain. A hint of killing intent resurfaced in both of their eyes.
During their brief eye contact, the two women looked away, focusing on Xiao Yan's battle, thus suppressing their killing intent. However, now that they were staring at each other again, the killing intent in their hearts could no longer be concealed.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a surging aura erupted from Zi Yan's body as she stared unabashedly at Feng Qing'er. Feng Qing'er, in turn, exuded a strong killing intent, but looked at Zi Yan with some confusion.
Even Feng Qing'er herself didn't understand why she felt such intense killing intent towards a complete stranger, as if it were an anger etched into her very bones.
With Xiao Fan and his group at the center of everyone's attention, this sudden scene naturally drew everyone's attention...
"Qing'er..."
On the high platform, Venerable Lei slowly spoke, bringing Feng Qing'er back to her senses. Then, his expression darkened, and he said, "This matter is now concluded. The Four Directions Pavilion Assembly will continue!"
Immediately afterwards, Thunder Venerable glanced at Xiao Fan and the others, his gaze lingering on Xiao Fan for a moment longer. Then, with a wave of his hand, a vast bolt of lightning surged into the Silverwood Plaza. Moments later, the plaza, which had been damaged in the battle, was completely restored to its original state.
At this moment, Wang Chen was too badly injured to fight anymore. Apart from Lin Yan and Wang Chen, there were nine people left on the scene. In the end, the red-clothed youth who had attacked Lin Yan earlier made another move, trying to eliminate the other youth who was only a seven-star Dou Huang. However, he was attacked by the two of them together and was seriously injured, losing his chance to compete for the ranking.
Of the remaining eight, the others encountered Feng Qing'er, Tang Ying, and Mu Qingluan, and were easily defeated by them. The top three were no surprise at all, falling into the hands of the three, simply because of the defeat of Wang Chen of Huangquan Pavilion.
In this Four Directions Pavilion Conference, the Yellow Springs Pavilion lost its top four ranking. Venerable Yellow Springs' face was gloomy, and finally his cold gaze fell on Wang Chen.
Whether he had his heart set on Xiao Yan or not, outsiders could only speculate...
In the final battle, Feng Qing'er revealed her strength as a Dou Zong, easily securing first place. Feng Lei Ge once again became the champion of this Four Directions Pavilion Tournament, while Mu Qingluan came in second.
Tang Ying of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, with the strength of a half-step Dou Zong, won third place.
As the conference came to an end, Venerable Huangquan was the first to stand up and take his leave, leaving the spot behind. Wang Chen, however, was left behind, his face grim and crazed, glancing at the location of Xiao Yan and the others from time to time.
As the conference came to an end and everyone was about to leave, Xiao Yan suddenly stood up and said to Venerable Feng, "Venerable Feng, please wait!"
"Ok?"
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Venerable Feng smiled slightly, glanced at Venerable Lei and Venerable Jian beside him, and said, "Hehe, little guy, it seems we don't have any relationship, do we?"
"Of course, I just want to ask Venerable Feng to take a look at something."
Xiao Yan slowly opened his mouth and addressed Venerable Feng in a humble yet respectful manner. Then, he took out his storage ring from his robes, flicked his finger, and flew towards Venerable Feng's location.
The crowd, who had originally planned to disperse, remained in place with curiosity upon seeing Xiao Yan's actions.
After all, Xiao Yan's easy defeat of Wang Chen had left a deep impression on everyone. With the conclusion of this Four Directions Pavilion Tournament, Xiao Yan's reputation will likely become even more renowned throughout the Central Plains!
Seeing Xiao Yan take the initiative to ask Venerable Feng to stay, everyone became curious about Xiao Yan's identity, since he and his companions had not revealed their identities before...
Seeing Xiao Yan's actions, Venerable Feng smiled and easily caught the thing Xiao Yan threw to him, then couldn't take his eyes off it.
Leishan, which had suddenly become noisy after the Four Directions Pavilion Conference ended, suddenly fell into an eerie silence when Venerable Feng received the item thrown by Xiao Yan.
Thunder Mountain, which had been shrouded in thunderous clouds and should have been bustling with noise, strangely felt a tightness in everyone's chest, as if the surrounding clamor had vanished instantly...
Fortunately, this feeling only lasted for a brief moment before everything returned to normal. However, the previously noisy crowd fell into an eerie silence, not daring to make a sound.
The once noisy Leishan Mountain is now only filled with the howling wind and thunder in the sky.
The sound of wind!
This eerie silence made everyone realize that in that brief moment, it was as if all the wind in the world had frozen in place, and the noisy sounds had stopped traveling with the wind, which was why everyone felt a moment of silence.
However, everyone's gazes couldn't help but fall curiously on Venerable Wind. Even Venerable Thunder and Venerable Sword didn't rush to leave, but looked at Venerable Wind with surprise.
The Wind Venerable, who had been exuding an air of ease and freedom, now seemed frozen in place, standing there blankly without any reaction.
Even Mu Qingluan, the disciple of Venerable Feng, was visibly astonished. In all her years, she had never witnessed such a dramatic shift in her teacher's emotions...

Chapter 108 Reunion [Happy National Day]
The sudden change in Venerable Feng left many onlookers on the mountain stunned. Instead of leaving, they stared at Xiao Yan and his group with surprise.
It's important to understand that Dou Zun level experts are extremely rare. The fact that four Dou Zun appeared at the Four Directions Pavilion Assembly was already a pleasant surprise. However, Xiao Yan then made a powerful entrance, facing the Dou Zun's questions with neither servility nor arrogance, directly debating with the Yellow Springs Venerable and defeating the Yellow Springs Pavilion disciple Wang Chen…
Each of these things is something to brag about. Originally, everyone thought that the Four Directions Pavilion Conference had ended here, but now, Xiao Yan has actually gotten involved with Venerable Feng again.
To know who Venerable Wind is, one must know that he is the head of the four Venerables of the Four Directions Pavilion. Venerable Wind is the strongest and most senior. If it weren't for the fact that the Starfall Pavilion rarely shows itself, countless people would want to join...
At this moment, Venerable Feng also came to his senses and realized his lapse in composure. However, he did not explain. He took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement. Venerable Feng looked at the familiar storage ring in his palm, and his gaze fell back on Xiao Yan and Xiao Fan. His eyes were filled with a scrutinizing look.
After all, Xiao Fan and Xiao Fan had previously hinted in their conversation that they were fellow disciples...
"What...what is your relationship with him?"
Despite his best efforts to restrain himself, Venerable Wind's words still trembled slightly due to his excessive excitement...
Upon hearing Venerable Feng's words, Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance, their expressions filled with pride. They bowed slightly towards Venerable Feng and said, "Master and disciple!"
"This is the answer I most want to hear..."
Upon hearing Xiao Fan and the other's words, Venerable Feng murmured, then his body twisted and contorted like a ghost, reappearing before them. His gaze was fixed on them, and he no longer suppressed his unique Dou Zun aura. He looked at them and said, "However, this alone is not enough to prove your identities. Do you have any other evidence?"
At this moment, with the oppressive aura released by Venerable Wind, everyone else on the mountaintop dared not move, staring in astonishment at Xiao Fan and his group, their minds beginning to speculate about their identities...
Thunder Venerable and Sword Venerable were also puzzled. They exchanged a glance, seeing each other's confused looks, but remained silent. After all, they had known each other for so long, and had never seen Wind Venerable so disoriented...
Upon hearing Venerable Feng's words, Xiao Fan nodded slightly to Xiao Yan. Then, Xiao Yan stepped forward, lightly touching the flame mark on his forehead with his right hand, and a chilling flame appeared in his hand...
"Senior Venerable Wind, look ahead!"
"Bone Spirit Cold Flame..."
Venerable Feng looked at the familiar flame that appeared in Xiao Yan's palm without the slightest sense of unfamiliarity. After all, if it weren't for Yao Chen's Bone Spirit Cold Flame, he would have been dead long ago, and there wouldn't be the Venerable Feng who is now renowned throughout the Central Plains...
Even the slightest aura emanating from him was enough for Venerable Feng to easily discern, let alone the fact that Xiao Yan had directly summoned a...
Moreover...
Venerable Feng's gaze fell upon the flame mark on Xiao Yan's forehead. Upon closer inspection, he sensed a faint, familiar soul aura within it. This meant that this strange fire was clearly placed within Xiao Yan's body by his old friend, rather than obtained through force...
Having confirmed Xiao Yan's identity, Venerable Feng was even more excited. He had been searching for so many years without any news of that old fellow, but now, he had finally found him.
“Your master and I are close friends. I am your elder. My real name is Feng Xian. You are also my disciples. From now on, you can also call me Master or Elder Feng.”
Venerable Feng's gaze fell on the two of them, his eyes gentle, and he spoke slowly.
Upon hearing Venerable Wind's words, everyone on the mountaintop was too shocked to speak.
Who is the Wind Venerable?
He was a renowned figure in Zhongzhou, the head of the Starfall Pavilion. Countless prodigies from various forces wanted to become his disciples, but he never agreed.
At this moment, even Mu Qingluan couldn't help but feel extremely curious about the identities of Xiao Yan and the other person. After all, even she was able to become a disciple of Venerable Feng only because of her family's connections and some other reasons.
However, Venerable Feng actually took the initiative to accept others as disciples, which was unprecedented.
For a moment, everyone couldn't help but become extremely interested in the master that Xiao Yan and the other person mentioned. What kind of relationship did he have with Venerable Feng that would make Venerable Feng go to such lengths?
