As Chen Yang unleashed his sword strike, Yue Mei panicked completely. This human man, who looked so handsome, was incredibly ruthless.
Seeing the Snake-People who were usually loyal to her die like this, Yue Mei gritted her teeth and ultimately chose to remain silent. She did not leave because she had also noticed the energy fluctuations in the east.
Chen Yang's actions naturally attracted the attention of Gu He in the distance.
"Was that a Dou Huang level expert making a move over there just now?"
"The heartland of the Snake-People, could it be Queen Medusa?"
Feng Li looked at Gu He and said.
"It shouldn't be Medusa. She was seriously injured half a year ago, and half a year is not enough time to recover."
Gu He shook his head.
"It's good that it's not Medusa. Most of the Dou Huang powerhouses in the Jia Ma Empire and even the surrounding countries will give you, Pill King, face."
Yan Shi relaxed a bit.
"Moreover, we also have Sect Master Yun with us on this trip. Even if there is a Dou Huang expert, with one Dou Huang and three Dou Wang attacking together, we might be able to take him down!"
Feng Li said again.
"Mm!"
Yun Yun nodded gently, but she was thinking about how to seize this Heavenly Flame and give it to her lover.
During the nearly one year since returning to Yun Lan Sect, Yun Yun spent her days, besides teaching Nalan Yanran, eagerly awaiting Chen Yang's message to the sect so she could see him soon.
They waited and waited, almost a year had passed, and there was still no news from Chen Yang.
Just then, Gu He said he was going to the Snake-People Clan to find a different kind of fire. Yun Yun thought about it and decided to go with him. Firstly, it was for Gu He's safety, since he was a key figure in the Yun Lan Sect. Secondly, she wanted to see if she could get the different kind of fire. She knew that Chen Yang was also an alchemist, and since he was an alchemist, he must also need a different kind of fire, right?
The group rode their flying Magical Beasts forward and soon arrived at the oasis.
Yun Yun stood at the front and almost immediately spotted Chen Yang standing with his hands behind his back by the oasis, looking at them. As for the boy next to Chen Yang carrying a giant black ruler, she automatically ignored him.
Whoosh!
Upon seeing Chen Yang, Yun Yun did not hesitate at all, spreading her Dou Qi wings and heading straight for Chen Yang.
"Sect Master Yun, be careful!"
Yan Shi shouted and hurriedly followed.
He didn't expect that Yun Yun, a woman, could be more irritable than him; she just attacked people as soon as she saw them.
However, although Yan Shi was a High-Level Dou Wang, his flight speed was still far inferior to that of a wind-attribute Dou Huang.
In the blink of an eye, Yun Yun traversed thousands of meters and landed in front of Chen Yang. She retracted her Dou Qi wings, ran a few steps, and then stopped less than half a meter away from Chen Yang, looking up at him with her delicate and pretty face. "You… what are you doing here?"
Yun Yun's delicate body trembled slightly. Having fallen in love for the first time, she had been filled with anxiety and fear throughout the long year, afraid that it was all just a dream, or that Chen Yang was deceiving her.
'If Xiao Yan and Chen Yang hadn't been together, and if Xiao Yan hadn't had a connection with his disciple, Yun Yun would have thought Chen Yang was a fraud.'
"I've come to help Xiao Yan get the Heavenly Flame."
"But Yun'er, what brings you to the Tagor Desert?"
Chen Yang reached out and pulled Yun Yun into his arms, pointing to Xiao Yan beside him and explaining with a smile.
"Sister Yun Yun… oh no, sister-in-law!"
Xiao Yan bowed to Yun Yun. Chen Yang winning over Yun Yun was within his expectations. However, he suddenly realized that, including Yun Yun, how many sisters-in-law had he had?
"I… you…"
Xiao Yan's use of the word "sister-in-law" immediately made Yun Yun blush.
The woman buried her face in Chen Yang's chest, greedily inhaling his scent, feeling both shy and at the same time, a sense of peace washing over her.
...
Yan Shi, who arrived at this moment, was completely dumbfounded.
'No, what did he see?'
'The Sect Leader of Yun Lan Sect, the aloof Dou Huang Yun Yun, was now nestled in the young man's arms like a young girl in love.'
"Damn it, let go of Sect Master Yun!"
Just then, Gu He's angry voice rang out from behind Yan Shi.
Then, Yan Shi felt a burning sensation near his ear as a figure flew past him at high speed, heading straight for Chen Yang.
"Is this the Ancient River of Dan Wang?"
"Teacher, please lend me a hand!"
When Xiao Yan saw that Gu He was going to disturb Chen Yang and his sister-in-law's reunion, he naturally couldn't stand it. He muttered to Yao Lao in his heart, then pulled out the giant ruler from his back, and purple Dou Qi surged out.
Seeing that Xiao Yan was about to make a move, Yao Lao no longer concealed himself. In the original story, he had to hide himself to avoid being discovered, but now that a peak Dou Huang expert was standing next to him, why should he hide anymore?
As Yao Lao's Soul Force flowed into Xiao Yan's body, the Bone Chilling Flame attached itself to Xiao Yan's Purple Flame Dou Qi, and together they surged into the Xuan Heavy Ruler.
"Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler!"
Facing Gu He, who was at the peak of the Dou Wang realm, Xiao Yan unleashed his full power. The physical attributes of a 5-Tier Magical Beast combined with the Dou Qi of an 8-Star Great Dou Master, along with the Soul Force of Yao Lao and the hidden enhancement of the Bone Chilling Flame, caused the giant ruler to instantly stab out a purple light in the air, rushing towards Gu He.
Boom!
Enraged, Gu He charged forward without thinking of defense. Xiao Yan, like a lion hunting a rabbit, unleashed his strongest trump card. In his hasty counterattack, Gu He, despite his peak Dou Wang strength, was blasted down from the sky and crashed into the desert, creating a crater several dozen feet in diameter. He was left in a sorry state.
"Old He!" Feng Li exclaimed and rushed towards Gu He. After carefully examining him and confirming that Gu He only had minor injuries, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Who exactly is that young man? How could he have injured Gu He, a peak Dou Wang, with a single blow?" Yan Shi also rushed over and asked, looking at Gu He, whose face was ashen and who was recovering from taking pills to heal his injuries, and Feng Li beside him.
"I… actually acted impulsively just now!" After being knocked down by Xiao Yan with a single blow, Gu He calmed down considerably.
...
On Chen Yang's side, Yun Yun originally intended to stop Gu He, but when she saw Xiao Yan make his move, Chen Yang stopped the woman in his arms. He also wanted to see how much power Xiao Yan could unleash now that Yao Lao was not openly using the Emperor-level Dou Technique, Ghost Possession.
This is how the situation came about.
"Xiao Yan, after not seeing him for nearly a year, has actually become capable of injuring a peak Dou Wang expert?"
Yun Yun released Chen Yang and looked at Xiao Yan in surprise.
"Although this wasn't his own power, his own strength is now enough to face an undefeated Dou Wang below three stars!"
Chen Yang nodded in satisfaction. Xiao Yan's arduous training along the way was not just about getting beaten up. He hadn't neglected any of his alchemy or combat skills.
"Yanran is only a 7-Star Dou Shi right now…" Yun Yun said with a bitter smile.
"Phew… It's alright, sister-in-law. What happened between Nalan Yanran and me is between us and has nothing to do with you and Brother Yang!" Xiao Yan took a deep breath, popped a Grade 3 Qi Recovery Pill into his mouth, and said with a smile.
"Yun'er, you still haven't told us what you're planning to do deep in the Tagor Desert?" Chen Yang looked at Yun Yun's bitter smile, reached out and stroked her soft, long hair, changing the subject.
"Gu He said he discovered traces of a Heavenly Flame in the Tagor Desert, so he invited me to come and protect him. I was planning to see if I could take the opportunity to get my hands on that Heavenly Flame and give it to you…" Yun Yun's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, and she became a little embarrassed.
"Tsk…" Xiao Yan, watching from the side, gritted his teeth. 'Who said that the Yun Lan Sect Master liked to bully others and was heartless? Isn't he quite good at showing off his love?'
'In broad daylight, he felt so full that he didn't even need to eat lunch!'
"Then you and Gu He will probably have to return empty-handed. I was planning to give this Heavenly Flame to Xiao Yan!" Chen Yang reached out and pinched Yun Yun's cheek, feeling quite moved.
This silly girl only spent a few days with him in the Monster Mountain Range, yet she was already thinking of risking her life to create a Heavenly Flame for him.
"It's alright, even if we return empty-handed, it's alright. As long as I saw you on this trip, I'm satisfied." Yun Yun looked up at Chen Yang with her little face full of joy.
"You…" Chen Yang gently tapped Yun Yun's forehead, and the woman's face showed a silly smile, which made Yue Mei in the distance grit her teeth.
Just then, after recovering somewhat, Gu He flew towards Chen Yang and the others with Feng Li and the others.
This time, Xiao Yan decided not to step forward. He was just a minor Great Dou Master; why should he risk his life against a group of Dou Wangs and Dou Huangs?
"Your Excellency, I am Gu He from the Jia Ma Empire. May I ask who you and Sect Master Yun are…?" Gu He stood in the air and bowed to Chen Yang.
"I don't like looking up at people, so please get down!" Chen Yang said, holding Yun Yun's small hand and focusing his gaze entirely on Yun Yun's face, without even glancing at Gu He.
"You…" Gu He frowned. This person looked young, but his tone was quite arrogant.
Choke!
Gu He was about to speak again when a sword rang in his ears. The next moment, a long sword with a sharp blade and a crimson body was pressed against his brow.
"I don't like wasting time talking to people. If you're planning to send those two good-for-nothings in front of you to do it, I don't mind making the Jia Ma Empire lose a Grade 6 Alchemist tomorrow!"
As Chen Yang spoke, he controlled the Rainbow Sword to slap Gu He hard on the shoulder, and Gu He immediately staggered down from the air.
When he struggled to his feet from the bushes, he found the sword still pointed at his forehead.
