Above the underground passage!
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's expression suddenly turned serious.
Little Fairy Doctor keenly sensed the change in the Lion King's emotions and pondered, "Lion King, what's wrong?"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King, who had been sitting on the ground, suddenly stood up, its voice like muffled thunder.
"Little Fairy Doctor, you and Xiao Yan's elder brothers should take the men and retreat first. We are likely to face a major battle next."
Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor's expression changed drastically. She had heard Xiao Yan mention that the Lion King's current combat power was probably comparable to that of a peak Dou Huang.
However, even he said that a major battle might be coming, which means that the enemy next is likely to have reached the peak of the Fighting Emperor level.
Thinking of this, Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but clench her fist.
She desperately wanted to stay, but she knew all too well that even the aftershocks of a battle at the Douhuang level were far beyond what she could withstand.
Not just her, but all the mercenaries here, even the little lion king, couldn't withstand it.
"I see!"
Little Fairy Doctor took a deep breath, her pretty face, slightly chilly, showing no hesitation whatsoever.
Meanwhile, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, who were far away, also heard the voice of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, and their expressions instantly turned ugly.
Xiao Li couldn't help but ask, "What about Xiao Yanzi?"
Xiao Ding shouted, and said in a deep voice, "The Lion King is here. If we stay here, we will only cause trouble. It doesn't matter if we die, but if we distract the Lion King, then we will die without regret."
With that, he decisively gave the order: "Call the brothers and retreat!"
However, as he spoke, a dark glint flashed in his eyes, and he grew even more ruthless.
Xiao Yanzi, please don't let anything happen to you!
If anything happens to you, I will risk my life to make those involved in this matter pay a terrible price.
A look of resentment flashed across Xiao Li's face as he clenched his fists.
But he knew this wasn't the time to act impulsively, so he could only organize the mercenaries to evacuate the area.
It was only then that they realized how weak their own power was.
On the other side, Little Fairy Doctor, pulling Green Scale, and the group quickly regrouped and retreated towards Stone Desert City.
Seeing the dejected faces of everyone, Qinglin's eyes reddened slightly, feeling disappointed that she couldn't help Xiao Yan.
At this moment, no one noticed that the three small blue dots in her eyes were becoming brighter.
For some reason, she suddenly had a strong feeling, and it was this feeling that made her involuntarily look up in a certain direction on her way back.
At the same time, Queen Medusa seemed to notice something, her brows furrowed slightly, and her gaze unconsciously turned to a certain direction.
This girl…
Something's strange!
Queen Medusa sensed something but didn't make a fuss. She simply decided that once she obtained the strange fire and the transformation pill, she could take the little girl back to the snake-people tribe to see what was so special about her.
Beside her, Yun Yun was also watching the orderly retreat of the Desert Iron Mercenary Corps below. She calmly said, "It seems that His Excellency the Amethyst Winged Lion King has already noticed our presence. That's good."
Guhe and the others also showed no intention of making a move.
With their strength, they wouldn't stoop to killing such a group of fighters and masters.
A while later!
After the members of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group returned to Stone Desert City, Gu He said impatiently in a deep voice, "Everyone, it's our turn to make a move!"
Yun Yun nodded calmly, and Queen Medusa responded indifferently as well.
The three elders of the Yunlan Sect, who were fighting kings, laughed loudly.
"Hahaha, Master Guhe, don't worry. Let alone the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, it's only about a four or five-star Dou Huang."
Even if he's a high-level Battle Emperor, so what? Against our lineup, he'll still die a bitter death in the Northwest.
As they spoke, the group quickly arrived at the top of the underground passage.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's eyes were deep and focused as it slowly took flight, reaching the same height as the others and confronting each other.
"Humans, retreat now, and I will pretend this never happened. The people below are not to be trifled with."
However, since Guhe and the others had already come this far, how could they be persuaded to back down by a single sentence from the Amethyst Winged Lion King?
Gu He laughed loudly: "The Amethyst Winged Lion King, who is devouring the strange fire below the passage, must also be an alchemist, right?"
Whatever conditions he offered you, as long as you promise not to interfere, I can give them to you.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King glanced at Gu He with disdain in its large eyes.
"You? You can't give me what Xiao Yan gave me!"
Yun Yun paused slightly upon hearing the name Xiao Yan'er.
That name sounds familiar. Isn't that Yanran's fiancé's name?
Could it be that he is the one devouring the strange fire?
No, it should just be a case of the same name.
After a moment of distraction, Yunyun quickly regained her composure.
Guhe's face did not show any anger at the Amethyst Winged Lion King's mockery; he simply sighed slightly.
"It seems that strength still has to speak for itself!"
"Since the Amethyst Winged Lion King is so stubborn, then I would like to ask you all to take action."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King laughed loudly.
"Haha, shall we make a move?"
"Perfect timing. I haven't had a proper fight since my breakthrough, and I'm itching to get started."
As he spoke, a blazing purple flame instantly erupted from his body, and a terrifying aura burst forth from within him.
In an instant, a surge of intense energy, like a tidal wave, spread outwards from the Amethyst Winged Lion King, sweeping across the area.
The audience was stunned!
"Peak Fighting Emperor!"
The three fighting kings of Yunlan Sect were horrified and cried out in shock.
Guhe's pupils contracted slightly, his expression grave.
Yun Yun took a deep breath, and a strange longsword appeared in her hand.
Queen Medusa's beautiful eyes flashed with surprise, and a surge of fighting spirit rose within them.
"Let's fight!"
Purple flames flickered in the large eyes of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, its imposing aura undiminished even when facing multiple opponents; its kingly demeanor remained intact.
Then he roared and charged forward, aiming a claw straight at Guhe's face.
This guy is clearly a liaison for these guys. If we kill him, their alliance will inevitably collapse.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's terrifying speed completely broke the sound barrier, so fast that even the Fighting King, Guhe, couldn't react at all.
The difference is so great, I am doomed!
A thought flashed through Gu He's mind, but at that critical moment, Yun Yun, who was closest to him, reacted instantly and swept out with her sword.
Wind propulsion!
The next moment, two terrifying azure tornadoes roared toward the direction from which the Amethyst Winged Lion King was attacking.
However, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's giant claws blazed with purple flames, tearing the two azure tornadoes to shreds with a single swipe.
However, just as he was about to continue his attack, a seven-colored streak, as fast as lightning, suddenly attacked from the side of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's pupils suddenly contracted, and it abruptly pulled back to respond, instantly colliding with the seven-colored ribbon.
In mid-air, a terrifying shockwave erupted instantly, its aftershocks spreading outwards, shaking the entire Stone Desert City.
Meanwhile, at the bottom of the magma!
Xiao Yan sensed the power fluctuations emanating from the outside world, his brows furrowed, and he involuntarily accelerated the speed of evolving the Burning Technique.
At this moment, the old doctor's voice suddenly rang out.
"Don't rush, the Amethyst Winged Lion King is a peak Dou Huang, those few people can't defeat him for the time being."
The process of evolution and incineration is extremely dangerous; the slightest mistake could lead to utter destruction.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's solemn expression finally relaxed.
The old doctor also breathed a sigh of relief.
The Lion King is going to suffer a bit!
Above the underground passage, the battle continues and has reached a fever pitch.
Upon receiving the message from the spirit of the old man, the Amethyst Winged Lion King breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Xiao Yan would soon be able to emerge from seclusion.
However, the thought of having to persevere for a while made him secretly groan.
He thought his peak Douhuang strength would be enough to run rampant in the Gama Empire, but he never expected that there would be a master in this desolate Tagor Desert.
That queen, what's her name? She hits lions way too hard.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King speculated that his strength was probably only one step away from becoming a Dou Zong.
Bang!
Suddenly, a seductive and alluring voice rang out behind him.
"You dare to be distracted while fighting me!"
"Purple Origin Rakshasa Seal!"
As Queen Medusa softly chanted, her jade-like hands suddenly formed a mystical technique, which was released behind the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
A beautiful purple circular phantom shot out from Medusa's hand and instantly struck the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
The terrifying aftershocks spread out, turning half the sky a vibrant purple.
"Is this Queen Medusa? No wonder even the teacher is so wary of her strength."
Yun Yun, dressed in a plain white dress, stood in mid-air, feeling the power unleashed by Queen Medusa's attack, her expression slightly solemn.
Meanwhile, Gu He and the three Fighting Kings from Yunlan Sect, who were only able to play a minor role on the edge of the battlefield, were all in shock.
Even Yun Yun couldn't play a significant role in the battle between the peak Dou Huangs; she could only use her movement techniques to restrain them.
And those few fighting kings could only unleash a few fighting techniques from a distance.
Getting too close could result in injury from the shockwaves of the battle!
At the same time, the group of people were also filled with doubt.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's strength is seriously inconsistent with the rumors!
Who on earth spread this nonsense, claiming that it only has the strength of a four- or five-star Dou Huang?
Is this a four- or five-star Dou Huang?
Gu He secretly rejoiced that Queen Medusa had arrived in time and that he had managed to persuade her with the Transformation Pill.
Otherwise, what if they encountered the Amethyst Winged Lion King completely unprepared…
The consequences are simply unimaginable!
Fortunately, although both are top-tier fighting emperors, Queen Medusa is clearly superior.
Just when the group thought victory was assured, a roar filled with anger came from the purple aura.
Its sound resounded through the sky!
"Humans, and snake people, you have utterly enraged me!"
The colossal body of the Amethyst Winged Lion King suddenly appeared, and purple flames surged across its battered body.
With a flap of his wings, seven or eight giant fire pillars, each over ten feet tall, instantly condensed around his body.
With a loud roar, a pillar of fire shot towards the group.
"careful!"
Yun Yun gave a soft hum, her pupils narrowed slightly, and she suddenly flew in front of Gu He and the others.
One hand forms a hand seal, the other wields a sword!
"The End of the Wind. The Radiance of the Setting Sun!"
In an instant, the world changed color, and a terrifying amount of energy suddenly gathered above Yun Yun's head.
With a soft shout, all the energy of heaven and earth poured into the longsword in her hand.
As she suddenly swung forward, a terrifying, overwhelming sword aura swept across the several pillars of fire that were shooting towards her.
Queen Medusa's gaze narrowed slightly, and she gave a soft hum, changing her hand seals once more.
"Purple Python Devours the Sky!"
The next moment, a giant purple python, tens of feet long, opened its blood-red maw to meet the pillar of fire rushing towards it.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!
A series of explosions rang out in the sky, and the aftershocks of energy spread outwards like ripples, causing the entire Stone Desert City to tremble violently.
The entire sky was filled with surging purple light, rolling air currents, howling tornadoes, and towering flames.
The vast majority of people in the city were so terrified by this horrific scene that they could hardly breathe.
Sand Mercenary Group!
The high-ranking officers said with relief, "Commander, we never expected that the purple lion of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group was actually a legendary sixth-order magical beast. Luckily, you told us to keep a low profile, otherwise we would have been in deep trouble!"
The others cheered, "The commander is brilliant!"
Little did they know that at that moment, their leader Rob and Mo Xing were both trembling.
The smiles on their faces looked more like cries.
If there weren't so many people here, they probably would have all knelt down.
Damn it, they actually plotted against a Douhuang-level powerhouse.
If this is discovered, ten lives wouldn't be enough to kill them!
"God help us, please don't win!"
The two prayed in their hearts.
On the other side, at the Stone Desert City stronghold!
All eyes were on the earth-shattering battle in the sky, and all were praying.
We absolutely have to win!
Several hours passed in the blink of an eye.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King was bathed in blood, its aura weakened, and its offensive gradually diminished, giving it the feeling of being unable to hold on alone.
But he still stubbornly guarded the passage below, refusing to let Guhe and the others take a single step.
Despite being opponents, Furukawa and the others couldn't help but admire the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
But Guhe is determined to obtain the strange fire!
Queen Medusa glanced at Yun Yun, who was panting heavily and still had serious injuries, and a smile flashed in her beautiful eyes.
It's time to end the battle!
She chuckled and said, "Sect Leader Yun, there's no need to hold back. Let's end the battle in one move."
"I know that your clan possesses a deadly move called 'Extreme Wind - Meteor Strike'!"
Yun Yun's gaze darkened slightly as she glanced at Queen Medusa, a hint of wariness flashing in her eyes.
"good!"
"Then let's attack together!"
Yun Yun parted her lips slightly, then raised her delicate hand and took out a pill that was entirely emerald green and exuded a rich, fragrant aroma.
This is a Grade 5 Qi-restoring pill, extremely precious, capable of quickly restoring the fighting spirit of a Dou Wang, or even a Dou Huang.
"They're really vigilant!"
Queen Medusa's beautiful eyes flashed with admiration as she smiled and said, "Then let's attack together!"
After speaking, Queen Medusa formed a hand seal and looked solemn.
In an instant, terrifying and vast天地能量 (heaven and earth energy) gathered above her head, and the terrifying pressure made almost everyone in the entire Stone Desert City unable to breathe.
"The Serpent's Sealing Spell!"
With a soft shout from Queen Medusa, an extremely dazzling purple light shot out from her hand seal.
On the other side, Yun Yun held a sword in one hand, its tip pointing straight at the sky.
The longsword in her hand trembled slightly, and a beam of light, no bigger than a thumb, quietly condensed at the tip of her sword, shooting straight into the sky.
"The extreme of the wind, meteor strike!"
A glint of light suddenly flashed in Yun Yun's beautiful eyes, and then she thrust out her longsword horizontally.
In an instant, a beam of light as thick as a thumb suddenly shot out from the tip of the sword.
Danger! Danger! Danger!
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's nerves were screaming a warning, and in his heart he was already cursing Old Yao to the point of being furious.
Mad, what the hell?
Why isn't it done yet?
This king is about to die!
He saw two attacks coming at him simultaneously.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King had no time to think and prepared for a final, solemn battle.
In the Stone Desert City, Little Fairy Doctor looked solemn, her fists clenched tightly.
The little lion king flew into the air, letting out roars of anger and anxiety, its body wreathed in surging purple flames.
Xiao Ding and Xiao Li clenched their fists in resentment, but were powerless to do so.
The blue-scaled creature's eyes were wide open, and the three small green dots in its eyes looked incredibly alluring as it murmured something.
"Young Master Xiao Yan!"
Sand Mercenary Group!
Rob and Moxing exchanged a glance, bursting into tears of joy, wishing they could cheer on the spot.
Great! At last I don't have to worry about being purged!
However, the joy on their faces vanished the next moment.
Skyline!
In the blink of an eye, a young figure suddenly shot out from the underground passage and flashed in front of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
Everyone stared at the suddenly appearing young figure, their pupils shrinking in surprise.
Walking on air, a Dou Zong powerhouse!
Pale white flames swirled around the young man's tall and upright figure.
A terrifying aura arose, like a giant dragon awakening.
In an instant, its power dominated heaven and earth!
Queen Medusa, Yun Yun, Gu He, and the three Yunlan Sect Fighting Kings were all affected by this terrifying aura, as if a mountain had suddenly pressed down on their backs, making it impossible for them to move an inch.
Faced with two terrifying attacks coming at him, the young man casually flicked his wrist.
Two streaks of pale white flame shot out, instantly annihilating the two extremely dangerous attacks that were aimed at the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
He then turned to look at the listless Amethyst Winged Lion King behind him.
"Lion King, you've worked hard!"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King looked at the "Xiao Yan" before him, whose body was engulfed in pale flames, and with almost all his strength, he gritted his teeth and spat out a few words.
"Fuck your father!"
"Cough cough!"
Xiao Yan coughed, selectively ignoring the angry words of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, and instead turned his indifferent gaze to the others on the field.
He chuckled softly.
"You all certainly know how to pick your timing!"
Xiao Yan's voice wasn't loud, and he didn't seem angry at all, but Queen Medusa and the others felt a chill run down their spines.
This feeling is like having thorns in your back!
Stone Desert City!
The entire Mo Tie mercenary group was in an uproar when they saw Xiao Yan suddenly appear at the critical moment.
Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were equally astonished. Although they couldn't see the specific expression on Xiao Yan's face, the aura he exuded at this moment was completely different from his usual self.
Moreover, even if Xiao Yan is incredibly talented, it's impossible for him to break through to the Dou Zong level at the age of sixteen, right?
Thinking of this, the two turned their gaze to Little Fairy Doctor.
The two have a close relationship and have come a long way together, so they may know more inside information.
Neither of them were outsiders, so Little Fairy Doctor didn't try to hide anything and whispered, "Xiao Yan borrowed his teacher's power."
Xiao Ding and Xiao Li suddenly realized what was going on.
Too!
Xiao Yanzi has been mysterious since childhood, so it's not surprising that he has a teacher.
However, Xiao Yanzi was able to borrow his teacher's power from a distance.
What kind of secret technique is this? It's simply too incredible.
Aside from the two brothers, Qinglin looked at Xiao Yan's figure with a bright smile on her face, and her pale green pupils revealed surprise.
The little lion hovered in the air, and seeing that his father was alright, even his roar became cheerful.
In contrast, the Sand Mercenary Group!
When Luo Bu and Mo Xing saw Xiao Yan walking on air, they felt as if the sky was about to collapse, and they looked as if they had lost their parents.
Upon seeing this, a high-ranking member of the Sand Mercenary Group asked with concern, "Commander, are you feeling unwell? I have some medicine here."
Rob looked annoyed and glared at him impatiently.
"Get out!"
The person looked completely bewildered.
No, it's not wrong for me to care about you.
Meanwhile, above Stone Desert City!
Yun Yun stared in astonishment at the pale white flames swirling around Xiao Yan's body, and couldn't help but recall the Master Yan Xiao she had met at the Nalan family more than two months ago.
Rock Owl, Xiao Yan!
No wonder!
Yun Yun suddenly realized that she had noticed the unusually young back of the Rock Owl Master's hand when she caught a glimpse of it.
It turns out that Master Yanxiao was Xiao Yan's alias.
I just don't know if he is the third young master of the Xiao family in Wutan City.
It's highly unlikely. How could there be a sixteen-year-old Dou Zong powerhouse in this world?
It should be noted that Yun Potian, the founder of the Yunlan Sect, was only a Great Dou Master when he was sixteen or seventeen years old.
Moreover, she couldn't sense any youthful qualities in the "Xiao Yan" in front of her.
Guhe didn't see the expression on Yunyun's face. He sighed and stepped forward.
"This junior, Koga, greets my senior!"
Gu He bowed to "Xiao Yan" and said with a wry smile, "Senior is also an alchemist, so you should know how attractive a different kind of fire is to an alchemist."
Those behind me are only dragged into this mess because of my greed.
After a pause, Gu He's expression became resolute.
"Senior, I am willing to die, I only beg you... to spare the lives of the rest of us, and I will offer up all my life's treasures."
Faced with a Dou Zong powerhouse, Gu He couldn't think of any other way for them to break the deadlock.
The three Dou Wang elders of Yunlan Sect also recovered from their fear. Although they were surprised by Gu He's determination, their desire to survive made them look at "Xiao Yan" with anticipation.
They were saddened by Furukawa's death, but they wished they could have lived on.
Upon hearing this, Yun Yun stepped forward with a complicated expression. Although she recognized "Xiao Yan," she showed no intention of acknowledging him.
"My decision to come to the Tagor Desert was also made. How can I let you die in our place?"
After speaking, Yun Yun flicked the strange longsword in her hand, and a cold blue light flashed.
Queen Medusa narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly and let out a soft hum.
"I can come and go as I please. What does it matter if I'm a Dou Zong?"
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly formed a hand seal, and thousands of purple snake shadows swept in all directions.
It was so fast that it flew hundreds of feet away in the blink of an eye.
However, Xiao Yan only showed a mocking smile, raised his hand and grabbed, softly chanting: "Spatial Lockdown!"
In an instant, a tremendous energy surged out from Xiao Yan's body, and the void above Stone Desert City suddenly solidified.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
With a series of muffled thuds, the overwhelming purple snake shadows all crashed into the invisible spatial barrier and vanished with a bang.
Queen Medusa has also revealed her true form!
At this moment, blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, and her stunningly beautiful face became unpredictable, shifting between light and shadow.
Xiao Yan glanced at Medusa with his world-weary eyes and snorted coldly.
"Stubborn and unrepentant!"
Before he could finish speaking, "Xiao Yan" slapped back.
An invisible giant hand suddenly condensed above Queen Medusa's head, then crashed down without giving her any chance to resist.
Boom!
In an instant, Queen Medusa's body was suddenly slapped down by an invisible hand.
The yellow sand on the ground resembled a meteorite crashing into the vast desert, creating towering sand waterfalls.
Everyone was horrified.
Queen Medusa's peak fighting power was so easily defeated in front of "Xiao Yan".
Then, "Xiao Yan" turned his head to look at the Amethyst Winged Lion King and chuckled, "This will help you vent your anger!"
After saying that, he clapped his hands again!
Boom!
A colossal hand descended from the sky, instantly knocking Yun Yun Guhe and his companions all off the horizon, creating several large craters in the desert below.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King chuckled, feeling a surge of satisfaction.
Then he asked curiously, "Aren't you going to kill them?"
Xiao Yan uttered two words softly.
"it works!"
Thus, under the watchful gaze of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, "Xiao Yan" flicked his finger.
Several streaks of pale white flames instantly drew an arc in the air and entered the bodies of the people.
After doing all this, the pale white flames on Xiao Yan's body suddenly disappeared, and a pair of purple wings suddenly shot out from his back, and his aura returned to its youthful state.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King knew that the one before him was the real Xiao Yan.
Facing the real Xiao Yan, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's tone became much more relaxed, and he teased, "Of those people down there, you can keep the women, but why did you keep the men too?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's face immediately darkened.
"What are you thinking? They're very useful to me!"
What the hell is going on in the Amethyst Winged Lion King's brain all day long?!
I didn't see him flirting with any lioness back in the Warcraft Mountains!
Having said that, Xiao Yan ignored the Amethyst Winged Lion King and flew towards the group, flapping his Purple Cloud Wings.
He wasn't afraid of the group attacking him, not to mention that the old doctor had left a wisp of Bone Spirit Cold Flame in their bodies, which could kill them at any time.
Just the fact that he was able to retain his consciousness after taking a blow from Yao Lao, who possessed the strength of a Dou Zong, is already a stroke of luck.
Sure enough, Xiao Yan went down to take a look.
All of them were seriously injured. Except for Yun Yun and Medusa, who were still conscious, the rest of them had all passed out.
Xiao Yan first arrived at the large pit where Queen Medusa was located.
Queen Medusa looked utterly disheveled, her body covered in blood that soaked through her tattered purple brocade robe. However, Xiao Yan could still vaguely see glimpses of her fair and delicate skin.
Seeing Xiao Yan come down, Queen Medusa did not beg for mercy, but merely snorted coldly.
As the queen of the snake people, she has her own pride.
However, when she heard what Xiao Yan said next, her pride crumbled instantly.
"Queen Medusa, you wouldn't want anything to happen to the snake people, would you?"
Queen Medusa's beautiful eyes narrowed suddenly, and she shouted sharply.
"What do you want to do!"
Xiao Yan touched his smooth chin, as if he was pondering something.
After a moment, he narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "You not only hurt my best friend, but you also almost caused me to fail to devour the strange fire and die."
"Tell me, should I kill you first, and then wipe out the entire snake-people race?"
Queen Medusa's face was grim, and upon closer inspection, a hint of panic could be seen in her eyes.
However, she was, after all, the renowned Queen Medusa, with an extraordinary mind, and quickly calmed down.
She said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what do you want in order to release me?"
Your true intention is not to kill me, otherwise I would already be dead.
Clap clap clap!
Xiao Yan clapped his hands and praised.
"As expected of Queen Medusa, her reaction is quick. Since that's the case, I'll just say it directly."
I'd rather not kill you, or even cause trouble for the snake people.
"If you obey my orders for twenty years, I will set you free, how about that?"
Queen Medusa narrowed her eyes, which flashed with a fierce light.
"You want to enslave and command me?"
"Hey hey hey, watch your attitude right now. If I get upset, not only will you suffer, but the snake people will suffer too."
Xiao Yan's lips curled up slightly; he had never intended to kill these people from the beginning.
In particular, the ancient river was quite useful to him.
Soon, he will be heading to the Black Corner Region to openly establish a force to help him collect magic cores and various medicinal herbs.
As a sixth-grade alchemist, Guhe is definitely a chosen working man.
As for Medusa and Yunyun, as Dou Huangs, they can also be recruited into your ranks.
disagree?
Aren't you afraid of dying?
That works too, as long as we're not afraid of the Yunlan Sect and the Snake-People Clan being wiped out.
Queen Medusa's face turned icy cold when she saw Xiao Yan using the snake-people to threaten her.
But the latter's terrifying strength left her helpless.
In the end, she chose to give in.
Not for myself, but for the entire Serpent People race!
"I can serve you for twenty years, but I have one condition!" Queen Medusa's voice was cold and clear.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan slowly stood up.
"Wonderful, that's wonderful! You actually want to negotiate terms with me?"
"I'm sorry, you're not qualified!"
"I said, two choices!"
"Submit, or face death and the extermination of your clan!"
Xiao Yan shook his head and muttered to himself, "You made a mistake, and you have to pay the price for it. You brought this on yourself."
Queen Medusa gritted her teeth slightly upon hearing this.
She really wanted to say, "Kill me or torture me, it's up to you."
But she can't say that!
Because she has the entire Serpent People tribe behind her!
Ultimately, Queen Medusa decided to temporarily lower her noble head.
"I... surrender!"
Xiao Yan laughed heartily.
"This will be the best choice you've ever made!"
After saying that, he turned and walked towards Yun Yun. Before leaving, he took off the storage ring on her hand and left her with only a few pills to heal her injuries.
Medusa remained where she was, a hint of resentment in her eyes.
Sooner or later, she would pin this man down and make him her prisoner.
On the other side, Yun Yun's condition was somewhat better than that of Queen Medusa.
Of course, this also depends on the strength of the medicine master's treatment.
Queen Medusa, who was obsessed with escaping and had the most unruly personality, naturally needed to be punished more severely.
Looking at Yun Yun, who looked dejected but was able to stand up in front of him with difficulty, Xiao Yan smiled slightly.
"Sect Leader Yun, it's been a long time!"
Yun Yun's expression was complicated. She cupped her hands and said, "I never thought that I would meet Master Yan Xiao again in this way."
"Perhaps this is what they mean by... meeting again anywhere in life!"
Xiao Yan's expression was also slightly sentimental. He thought that after leaving the Nalan family, he and Yun Yun would probably not have much contact, but he did not expect that the latter would take the initiative to deliver goods to his door.
What a coincidence!
"So, Master Yanxiao also wants to threaten me like he threatened Queen Medusa?" Yun Yun's injuries were not light, but her expression remained calm and serene.
Xiao Yan shrugged and said, "Everyone has to pay the price for their mistakes, right?"
Yunyun nodded seriously.
"Alright, I agree to serve you for twenty years, but before that, I need to return to Yunlan Sect to hand over the sect leader's affairs to the Grand Elder."
Yun Yun accepted it readily, and Xiao Yan miraculously didn't see the slightest dissatisfaction on her face.
This surprised him greatly.
"Don't you want to rebel like Queen Medusa? Or propose some conditions?" Xiao Yan asked rhetorically.
Upon hearing this, Yun Yun's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she asked with a smile, "Then can you agree to my conditions?"
Xiao Yan carefully examined Yun Yun, shook his head, and said decisively, "No!"
Yun Yun chuckled softly upon hearing this, showing no embarrassment at being teased, and calmly replied:
"You're absolutely right. Everyone has to pay the price for the mistakes they make."
I'm still alive, and I'm not going to be at your mercy forever, so why should I rebel?
Suddenly, Yun Yun paused and added a sentence.
"I can do whatever you say, but if you have ulterior motives towards me..."
"Stop, stop, stop. What nonsense are you spouting? Don't say things like that again."
Yun Yun's pretty face flushed slightly, seemingly embarrassed, but she also breathed a sigh of relief.
She then asked, "Are Furukawa and the others the same?"
Gu He is very important to the Yunlan Sect. In fact, Yun Yun still hopes that Xiao Yan can let Gu He go, even if it means the Yunlan Sect has to pay a price.
But she also knew that Gu He, as a sixth-grade alchemist, was far more valuable than her, a Dou Huang.
As expected, Xiao Yan was very direct, saying, "Gu He must submit and obey my orders, or he will die!"
After a pause, Xiao Yan pointed to the other three Yunlan Sect elders and said, "However, I don't want these three old guys. Each of them can have two fifth-level magic cores or ten fourth-level magic cores. Yunlan Sect should have enough resources for that."
Yun Yun immediately made the decision: "Yes!"
"Come to Stone Desert City by yourself after your injuries have healed a bit."
Tell Queen Medusa not to try to escape.
I've left a wisp of strange fire within each of you. If I wanted to kill you, it would only take a single thought.
After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he followed the same method and took away all the storage rings of Yun Yun, Gu He, and the others. Then, he flapped his Purple Cloud Wings and turned back to Stone Desert City.
The Desert Iron Mercenary Corps was stationed there, and everyone had been waiting for a long time. The Amethyst Winged Lion King was also there.
"Everyone's here?" Xiao Yan said with a smile.
Xiao Li punched Xiao Yan in the chest and grinned, "Little Yan, you were really impressive this time, suppressing several Dou Wang and Dou Huang powerhouses all by yourself."
Xiao Yan waved his hand and said, "I guess I'll just have to take a chance."
Then he looked at the Lion King and said, "Lion King, we owe you a lot this time."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King grunted and said, "You've got some nerve. If you really want to thank me, give me the Transformation Pill ahead of time."
With the help of the essence blood of magical beasts, he believed that he would be able to break through to the Dou Zong realm soon, so he did not have a high need for the Transformation Pill.
But his little one needs it!
Xiao Yan was taken aback upon hearing this, and suddenly remembered that when he was examining the spoils of war earlier, he had found a Transformation Pill in Gu He's storage ring.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but chuckle, feeling quite pleased.
"sure!"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King hadn't even considered that Xiao Yan would actually give it to him, mainly because he didn't have any Transformation Pills at the moment.
But Xiao Yan's answer left him speechless.
"No...isn't it?"
"You really gave it to me!"
"Here, a Transformation Pill!"
Xiao Yan raised his hand and tossed a perfectly round pill the size of a dragon's eye toward the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King frantically wrapped the Transformation Pill with purple energy, then examined it closely.
"Is this really a Transformation Pill?"
As he spoke, the Amethyst Winged Lion King even brought his nose close to sniff it.
The aroma of the medicine is strong and genuine!
Xiao Yan shrugged and joked, "See? You want it even if I don't give it to you, but you don't believe me even if I do. Why don't you give it back, and I'll give it to you again in ten years?"
"Who says I don't believe it?"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King raised its voice by an octave and carefully protected the Transformation Pill with its claws.
Everyone couldn't help but chuckle at the sight, never expecting the Amethyst Winged Lion King to have this side to it.
Then, the Amethyst Winged Lion King let out a low roar, summoning the little lion king.
With a flick of his wrist, he tossed the Transformation Pill into his mouth.
In an instant, the little lion king transformed into a large purple cocoon.
"Alright, wait a few days, and the little lion king will be able to transform into human form once he has refined the power of the transformation pill."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King chuckled. With Xiao Yan on board, his family had become quite wealthy.
Meanwhile, the Ice Emperor, whose luck had been stolen, shuddered, feeling utterly bewildered.
The next day!
Upon waking up in a simple room, Furukawa was astonished to find that he was still alive.
Although she felt heartbroken after Yunyun told her the whole story, she quickly accepted the fact.
In yesterday's situation, it's a miracle you didn't die.
The three Fighting King Elders of Yunlan Sect felt both fortunate and extremely complicated.
They are supposed to be fighting kings, yet people look down on them?
Are they really only worth two cold, fifth-tier magic cores?
It's somewhat disrespectful.
Yun Yun sighed helplessly, and after seeing that everyone was awake, she said, "Alright, let's go see Master Yan Xiao first."
"Master Yan Xiao?"
The group looked puzzled.
Yun Yun immediately recounted how she met Xiao Yan.
The crowd suddenly realized.
"So, he was the mysterious expert who appeared in the capital back then."
Gu He suddenly frowned: "That's not right. That pale white flame should be the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, ranked eleventh on the Strange Flame Ranking."
But if this senior had already refined the strange fire before going to the capital, what was he doing underground yesterday?
At this point, Gu He shook his head and chuckled, "It's impossible that he has two different flames, is it?"
As an alchemist, he knew all too well how precious the strange flames were.
It's impossible for a tiny Gama Empire to have two different flames appearing at the same time.
It is even more impossible for two different flames to coexist on one person at the same time.
"Guhe, you must not pry into these private matters in front of Master Yanxiao, lest you bring trouble upon yourself."
Yun Yun frowned slightly and gave a warning.
Guhe nodded. He wasn't stupid; he knew what was important.
Not far away, Queen Medusa, who had already changed her clothes, sneered: "Sect Leader Yun, it seems you've adapted quite quickly. You've already become that guy's servant?"
Yun Yun looked at Queen Medusa, whose beauty and temperament even amazed her, but unfortunately she was too arrogant.
Shaking her head, Yun Yun said, "Your Majesty, those who have no dignity whatsoever are called servants. We should be called thugs, or more accurately, long-term thugs."
Queen Medusa snorted coldly, her face darkening as she remained silent.
After calming down, she felt that what Yunyun said seemed to make some sense.
Not long after, the group saw Xiao Yan again.
Looking at the excessively young Xiao Yan, the group's expressions varied.
Gu He's eyes flickered. Although he didn't speak, he had a vague guess in his heart based on Yun Yun's opinion of "Master Yan Xiao".
In the grand hall, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li sat at the head of the table, while Xiao Yan showed no intention of usurping the host's place.
Upon seeing the group arrive, Xiao Ding smiled and waved his hand in greeting, displaying a very polite attitude.
"Please have a seat, everyone!"
Although they were enemies yesterday, now that they have been subdued by Xiao Yanzi, they are now on our side.
Let's just consider this a case of "no fight, no friendship".
However, Xiao Yanzi only made a slight move and subdued a group of Dou Wang and Dou Huang powerhouses, which made him, as the eldest brother, feel ashamed.
Especially when he learned the identities of these people, he could hardly believe his ears.
It includes the sect leader of Yunlan Sect, Danwang Guhe, and even the infamous Medusa Queen of the Tagor Desert.
Yun Yun and the others glanced at Xiao Yan, and seeing the latter nod, they each found a seat and sat down quietly to listen to the three brothers' conversation.
"Xiao Yanzi, we killed Luo Bu and Mo Xing last night, but what about the Mo family?"
As Xiao Li said this, he glanced at Yun Yun and the others.
After all, the Mo family is backed by the Yunlan Sect, and now even the Yunlan Sect Master has to listen to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan looked at Yun Yun and said casually, "Sect Leader Yun, I'll leave this matter to you. I don't care how you deal with the Mo family, but I want all the wealth that the Mo family has accumulated over the past hundred years."
"good!"
Yun Yun's face did not show much hesitation.
This whole affair originated with the Mohist school, and it's already a miracle they weren't wiped out.
The three Fighting King Elders of Yunlan Sect showed expressions of glee upon seeing that the Mo family was about to fall.
If it weren't for that old scoundrel Mo Cheng's message, we wouldn't have ended up in this state.
Not only was he severely injured, but he also lost half of his life savings.
They could only return after the sect paid the ransom.
If they could, they would have loved to skin Mo Cheng alive.
Then Xiao Yan looked at Gu He.
"Forget about the strange fire. Just follow me and maybe I can help you break through to the seventh-grade alchemist."
Guhe's eyes lit up, and his breathing became slightly rapid.
Is this really true?
Xiao Yan chuckled and said, "Believe it or not, it's up to you. But with your talent for alchemy, staying in the Gama Empire is indeed a waste."
Gu He's gaze was intense as he said in a deep voice, "I believe you!"
"Hahaha, great!"
Xiao Yan clapped his hands and smiled as he drew a big cake for Gu He.
"To be honest, of all of you, you are the one I value the most. In a while, I plan to go to the Black Corner Region to establish a force, and you will be the chief alchemist then."
"Work for twenty years, and I guarantee you'll become a seventh-grade alchemist, maybe even an eighth-grade, but that depends on your performance."
Everyone was shocked after hearing this.
Fifth and sixth grade alchemists were already considered alchemy masters in their minds.
As for the seventh and eighth ranks, they are purely legendary.
Why does it sound so casual coming from this young man?
Is it really that easy to become a seventh or eighth-grade alchemist?
Xiao Yan ignored their gazes and continued to turn his head to look at Queen Medusa.
You can't push a queen too far, like giving her a jujube.
He said with a smile, "Her Majesty the Queen must have been stuck at the peak of the Fighting Emperor realm for quite some time now, right?"
Queen Medusa snorted coldly and did not reply.
Quite arrogant!
Xiao Yan didn't care and said slowly, "Sigh, I originally wanted to say that as long as the Queen works hard with me, I will help Her Majesty evolve her bloodline and break through to the Dou Zong level."
"Unfortunately, I don't like Her Majesty's temper, so we'll have to let it go."
Queen Medusa was slightly taken aback, and her expression immediately changed.
At the moment of her birth, her clan used a special secret method to infuse the soul of a sixth-order magical beast, the Purple Flame Serpent, into her body.
Because the Purple Flame Serpent's soul had completely merged with her, her strength increased by leaps and bounds.
Unfortunately, the Purple Nether Flame Serpent was both his strength and his weakness.
Her strength was thus limited to the peak Douhuang level, making it difficult for her to advance any further.
Breaking through the limitations is extremely difficult unless one can activate the ancient beast bloodline within the Purple Flame Serpent.
Therefore, what Xiao Yan said hit Queen Medusa's weak spot.
"cough!"
Queen Medusa coughed, a hint of unease appearing on her stunningly beautiful face.
"I was rude just now, please forgive me, senior!"
Xiao Yan clapped his hands in satisfaction.
"Hey, that's more like it!"
