Chapter 192: A Word Alone Is Enough
Xiao Yan sat on the palanquin feeling rather helpless as he gazed at the
green flames occupying half the sky above. One moment cold, the next hot. Did they think they were cooking?!
'It seems that accelerating my Dou Qi cultivation is the way to go. Xiao Yan felt somewhat perplexed. Clearly, he had refined the Heavenly Flame himself, yet others could wield it more powerfully.
Although he had indeed fully refined the Essence Flame of the Heavenly Flame, his Dou Qi cultivation was still far from sufficient to fully unleash the Heavenly Flame's maximum power.
This terrifying sea of green flames was not only visible to the spectators on the Misty Cloud Sect's square but even to the common people in Jia Ma Sacred City.
"Quick, look toward the Misty Cloud Sect!"
"What on earth is happening there? What's that green light?"
"Didn't Grandmaster Xiao Yan head to the Misty Cloud Sect early this morning? The Mu Clan, Nalan Clan, and Miteer Clan all went with him!"
"Are you saying that Grandmaster Xiao Yan caused this?!"
At the Miteer Auction House, Ya Fei raised her head to look in the direction of the Misty Cloud Sect. Her face was full of worry as she clasped her hands together, as if in prayer.
At this moment, within the endless sea of green flames, Queen Medusa appeared like an empress controlling the green fire, holding it in her hand and disregarding everything in the world.
For the half-step Dou Ancestor Medusa, manipulating the Green Lotus Core Flame was as easy as moving her own arm. The Green Lotus Core Flame felt like an extension of herself.
This was not only because it had been refined by Xiao Yan. One must know that this Green Lotus Core Flame had once resided within her body. It was not an exaggeration to say that she had some connection to it.
'Sigh, this Green Lotus Core Flame has fallen into the hands of that cunning human just like that.'
Her beautiful eyes revealed a hint of lament and unwillingness. Her original plan wasn't as simple as just completing her bloodline evolution. She had also wanted to completely control the Green Lotus Core Flame for her own use. The gap between magical beasts and humans wasn't just in innate talent; the Dou Techniques of magical beasts were far inferior to those of humans. To bridge the gap in Dou Techniques, she needed to possess a Heavenly Flame. However, Medusa only felt a bit regretful and had no other thoughts. Even without Xiao Yan's appearance, she wouldn't have been able to fully realize her initial idea. Using the Green Lotus Core Flame to evolve was destined to fail, and the Ten Thousand Beast Flame had long since fallen into Xiao Yan's hands.
As the green flames dissipated, Queen Medusa's beautiful eyes looked toward Yun Shan, who wore a solemn expression not far away. She smiled coldly and said, "Heh, it seems this so-called Dou Ancestor of yours doesn't quite live up to the name."
Yun Shan lowered his head to look at his scorched palm. He hadn't expected that his Di Class Dou Technique used as a Dou Ancestor would not only be neutralized by Medusa, but that his own palm would even be burned by a Heavenly Flame.
"A Heavenly Flame, you actually possess two kinds of Heavenly Flames!" Yun Shan's eyes were cold as he looked toward the calm Xiao Yan sitting below. He never would have thought that Xiao Yan not only possessed two kinds of Heavenly Flames, but Medusa could also control one of them so skillfully!
"Oh my, didn't your guest elder, the most powerful alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire, Pill King Gu He, tell you? Back then, he wanted to go to the Snake- People Tribe to seize Queen Medusa's Green Lotus Core Flame, but I heroically rescued the beauty and foiled his despicable plan." Xiao Yan spouted nonsense without effort.
Even Yun Yun rolled her eyes at Xiao Yan. Him, a hero saving the beauty? He was clearly one of the robbers back then. He really did talk a better game than he played.
Yun Shan looked at the several battlefields on the square below and realized that his vast Misty Cloud Sect seemed unable to do anything to this eighteen-
year-old boy!
Xiao Yan's ability to rally others was even more terrifying than he had imagined. This was already reaching the influence of a peak 6th-tier alchemist!
A half-step Dou Ancestor, two Dou Emperors, three Dou Kings, and four Dou Spirit hidden guards! This lineup made even him wary.
He even somewhat regretted listening to Yun Leng's words.
Yun Shan looked at Queen Medusa, who was holding the green flame, with a hint of apprehension in his eyes. The power of that Heavenly Flame was truly frightening.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The previously enraged Yun Shan suddenly quieted down. He lowered his head, his gaze sweeping across the entire Misty Cloud Sect, looking at all the sect's disciples. His voice spread throughout the vast Misty Cloud Sect and its thousands of disciples as he shouted, "All Misty Cloud Sect disciples, heed my command!"
"Activate the sect-protecting grand formation! Form the 'Covering Sun Cloud Formation'!"
Yun Shan's deep voice echoed to every corner of the Misty Cloud Mountains. The Misty Cloud Sect wasn't limited to just the disciples in the square. The entire sect was exceedingly large with countless disciples, and many of them hadn't come to watch the battle as they weren't interested in such matters. 'Old Sect Leader Yun Shan has even resorted to using the sect-protecting grand formation. It seems that Xiao Yan has really driven him a bit mad!' Even Gu He was stunned upon hearing Yun Shan's shout, his brows furrowing slightly.
The Misty Cloud Sect naturally had its own rules. Some disciples and elders never involved themselves in worldly affairs and only focused on cultivation, just like Gu He, who didn't care about these matters. Whether it was Yun Leng being beaten or someone being killed, he wouldn't use his reputation as a 6th-tier alchemist to call upon others for revenge.
But it was different once the sect-protecting grand formation was activated. This represented a life-and-death moment for the Misty Cloud Sect. All members needed to contribute their strength.
Countless Misty Cloud Sect disciples were stunned at first when they heard the resounding shout across the square. Then, disciples who had been cultivating rushed to various squares, halls, training grounds, dormitories, and other nodes of the grand formation. They shouted in unison before slowly closing their eyes.
Moments later, wisps of white energy rose from these halls. An endless stream of white, mist-like energy surged into the sky. Even Gu He standing in the square poured his Dou Qi into the grand formation.
Finally, the white energy almost obscured the entire sky. At a glance, it was like being in a sea of clouds, with Yun Shan right at the center. Medusa once again drove the Green Lotus Core Flame when she saw the entire Misty Cloud Sect had activated the sect-protecting grand formation. But this time, the endless green flames were actually blocked by the thick white
energy!
Her eyes flashed with seven-colored light as the bloodline power of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python within her body erupted like a waterfall. The Green Lotus Core Flame transformed into a green heavenly python, fiercely coiling around the entire grand formation and biting down on
the white energy.
But even so, she was unable to break through the Misty Cloud Sect's sect- protecting grand formation in a short time!
"Xiao Yan, be careful!" The moment the formation was completed, Hai Bodong sensed something and shouted at Xiao Yan.
The next second, a mass of white energy suddenly burst out from the ground around the palanquin and shot toward Xiao Yan!
Snap! Snap! Snap! Countless strands of white energy instantly locked onto Xiao Yan's four limbs
like chains.
"Kid, though Heavenly Flames are powerful, they cannot rival the tens of
thousands of disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect," Yun Shan's voice came from the air. His goal had always been to capture Xiao Yan.
The restrained Xiao Yan looked at Yun Shan in the sky and shook his head helplessly, "Sigh, how troublesome."
"Old Ling, if I were to ask for your assistance, I wonder what conditions would be required."
As soon as he finished speaking, the shadows beside the palanquin suddenly
began to writhe in an eerie manner. Moments later, a dark figure gradually emerged. In just an instant, a figure dressed in black robes appeared out of thin air before everyone's eyes.
With the appearance of the dark figure, the expressions of Hai Bodong, Jia Xing Tian, Fa Ma, Yun Leng, and others changed drastically in the blink of an
eye.
Another Dou Emperor?!
Ling Ying slowly bowed and respectfully said, "Young Master Xiao Yan's word
alone is enough."
This was the trump card that Xiao Yan had been hiding all along: eating soft
rice!
It wasn't that Xiao Yan wanted to eat soft rice, but it was simply too
enticing!
TL/N: "Eating soft rice" typically refers to a man relying on or living off a woman's resources or support.
"Is that so? Then I'll have to trouble old Ling."
Ling Ying's eyes focused sharply as his entire body burst forth with Dou Qi.
The surrounding world's energy suddenly went berserk at this moment.
'Open Mountain Seal!'
