Several figures broke through the air and landed on the square. Leading them was a beautiful and enchanting woman, and a rather young-looking man.
After their arrival, the surrounding crowd spontaneously made way for them.
Gu Lie glanced at them a few times and said, "The Yan Clan is here. It's Elder Huo Ling and Huo Yao."
The Yan Clan members went straight to the vicinity of the Gu Clan, found a few stone chairs, and sat down.
Huo Ling casually corrected him, "Call me Fairy Huo Ling, not Elder Huo Ling. What an unromantic man."
A strange fluctuation suddenly arose around her, making her every movement and smile seem filled with infinite charm, making people want to sink into it and be willing to die for her.
Gu Lie closed his eyes, ignoring Huo Ling's charm technique. For him, who was devoted to cultivation, women would only affect the speed of his punches.
Xiao Yan, however, was affected. Even though it wasn't aimed at him, the charm technique Huo Ling unleashed at the peak of the Heaven Realm was incredibly astonishing. Even just a little residual effect caused him to momentarily lose himself.
"Meng!"
Qing Meng, whose face was seventy to eighty percent similar to Xiao Meng's, and whose entire body was a brilliant silver with a two-headed body, emerged and stood on Xiao Yan's shoulder, kicking him hard in the face.
Xiao Yan was stunned by the heavy blow to his face, then he woke up, looking at Huo Ling with a terrified expression.
This woman, what terrifying charm!
Xun Er was secretly annoyed, and she stood in front of Huo Ling and Xiao Yan, her eyes flowing with golden light.
Huo Yao, who had not spoken since his arrival, suddenly turned around and looked at Xun Er, a look of confusion on his face. He felt an inexplicable fluctuation from Xun Er.
Xun Er also moved her gaze from Huo Ling and met Huo Yao's eyes.
In a trance, she seemed to see a golden flame dancing in Huo Yao's eyes.
Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame? Something in Huo Yao's body had caused her Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame to react!
The two looked at each other, then quickly averted their gazes.
"What's wrong, Huo Yao?" Huo Ling asked.
"Nothing." Huo Yao shook his head slightly, paying a bit more attention to Xun Er.
Gu Lie suddenly opened his eyes and frowned. He leaned forward slightly, looking into the distance.
Xiao Yan noticed Gu Lie's movement and looked in the direction of his gaze.
There, a black cloud suddenly emerged, spreading at an alarming speed, from far to near. What followed was a chilling coldness that seemed to come from the soul, and a low whimpering sound, as if souls were wailing.
The black cloud transformed into a man dressed in black. He revealed a faint smile, then landed on the square below, sitting not far from the Gu Clan.
"Soul Clan members?" Xiao Yan whispered.
As if noticing Xiao Yan's gaze, the black-clad man gave him a smile.
"Hun Xuzi." Huo Yao immediately revealed the identity of the black-clad man.
Upon hearing this name, Yao Chen's eyes showed a hint of coldness: "It's him?"
"Teacher, do you know him?" Xiao Yan asked.
"I don't know him, but I've heard of him. This is the guy who infiltrated the Small Pill Tower back then, injured his master, and then defected." Yao Chen's tone carried an unspeakable disgust. He hated such people who betrayed their teachers and ancestors the most.
"Defected? I was originally a spy who infiltrated the Pill Tower with a mission, how can you say I defected?" Hun Xuzi smiled, not at all ashamed.
"For the benefit of my clan, I risked my life, went deep into enemy territory, and was on tenterhooks for so many years. Finally, after succeeding, I returned to my clan. This cannot be called a defection. Although it's not entirely upright, such methods are probably not uncommon among major powers, right?" Hun Xuzi's tone was neither fast nor slow, even giving people a sense of righteousness.
Yao Chen snorted, disdaining to argue with him.
"Heh, a traitor is a traitor. Your teacher was sincere with you, yet you repaid him like this. Such conduct is truly despicable." A voice full of vicissitudes came from afar.
Accompanying the voice was an extremely rich aroma of medicinal herbs. A green light flashed in the sky, arriving above the square in a few breaths.
This was a green medicinal cauldron, and on top of it sat an old man dressed in ordinary linen clothes. In his hand was a staff woven from what looked like herbs, with many jade bottles hanging on it. One end rested on the medicinal cauldron, and the other leaned on the old man's shoulder. As he swayed, the jade bottles clinked, making a crisp sound.
"Old Man Shennong... I didn't expect you to come too." Hun Xuzi's eyes narrowed slightly, then he said nonchalantly, "Clan righteousness is above all else."
Since the Spirit Clan and Stone Clan had not yet been destroyed, the relationship between the ancient clans was not as tense as it was during the Medicine Ceremony in the original work. Therefore, the Yao Clan members, apart from some disgust for his character, did not react much to Hun Xuzi's arrival.
The invitation to the Soul Clan was originally issued at Yao Dan's discretion. Although many people in the Yao Clan objected at the time, believing that the Soul Clan, who captured the souls of Alchemists everywhere, was not worthy of participating in the Medicine Ceremony, Yao Dan still defied all objections and made this decision due to his promise to Xiao Ding.
Hun Xuzi scanned the surroundings, pausing on the Gu Clan, Yan Clan, Stone Clan, Spirit Clan, and Xiao Yan, muttering softly:
"It seems the Lei Clan didn't send anyone... That's right, those brutes who only know how to fight don't have any famous Alchemists in their clan."
He also noticed Black Nirvana King Gu Lie beside Gu Feng, and a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.
The power gathered in the Yao Clan was too strong; they couldn't consume it without revealing a trace.
Dong...
A deep, solemn bell chime resonated throughout the entire Medicine World. The bustling square instantly fell silent.
On the square, all the Yao Clan members suddenly stood up in unison, respectfully shouting, "Welcome, Clan Leader."
Their voices spread grandly, even overshadowing the original bell chime.
Amidst this welcome, the clouds in the sky surged, automatically splitting to both sides, forming a passage. Not long after, Yao Dan, the Clan Leader of the Yao Clan, whom Yao Chen and Xiao Yan had met, slowly walked through the void.
Feeling Yao Dan's aura, Hun Xuzi's face broke into a smile.
It was only slightly higher than his true cultivation. If he faced him alone, with the advantage of the Void Swallowing Flame's sub-flame, he could contend with him.
"Hun Xuzi, how is it? Can we make a move?" A vast, ancient voice resonated through the flames in Hun Xuzi's mind.
Upon hearing this voice, Hun Xuzi did not dare to be negligent. After organizing his words, he replied:
"I'm afraid not. If it were just the Yao Clan, we could still try, but the problem is that among the guests, there are very troublesome individuals: Black Nirvana King Gu Lie of the Gu Clan, and Fairy Huo Ling of the Yan Clan."
"I see. Then I'll rely on you. You must win the championship of the Medicine Ceremony and seize that cultivation method."
"Yes, I will not fail you."
