Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Her gaze toward Xiao Fan was tinged with fear, but she suppressed her terror and stepped forward to bow to him.

Xiao Fan's gaze fell on him, and he said with a smile, "You, a Dou Zun powerhouse, are actually willing to plead for them and provoke me. Aren't you afraid that I'll just kill you all?"

"With your strength, killing us would be a piece of cake."

The one-star Dou Zun looked at Xiao Fan with neither arrogance nor servility, cupped his hands in a salute and said, "However, killing us would not bring you any benefit, so why dirty your hands?"

Xiao Fan carefully examined them for a moment, then said nothing more and waved his hand slightly: "You may leave!"

Initially, Xiao Fan intended to leave some marks on them and cultivate them into a force within the Demon Realm, but after reconsidering, he cancelled the plan.

After all, the strength within the Demon Prison largely depends on the demon beast families.

The three largest demon beast clans—the Nine Netherworld Python clan and the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan—are both under Qing Lin's control. They only need to wait for Xiao Yan and Qing Lin to recognize each other before they fall into their hands. As for the Taixu Ancient Dragon and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clans…

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan and Xiao Fan are already sworn enemies, so even adding these human powerhouses wouldn't make any difference.

As for the fragmented Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, they can only be considered an asset after they help Ziyan unify the clan.

These major forces, each one of them, are insurmountable to the group of people from before. No matter how they develop, they pose no threat to the other party whatsoever.

That's why Xiao Fan chose to let the other party go.

"Thank you, Senior..."

The leading one-star Dou Zun expert looked at Xiao Fan, cupped his hands slightly, and had a look of relief on his face as if he had survived a calamity.

Immediately afterwards, he led the group of powerful figures behind him out of the pavilion.

Seeing everyone retreat, Xiao Fan's gaze fell once again on the remaining two scrolls.

The dark flames reappeared, and Xiao Fan easily took out two scrolls.

However, having learned his lesson earlier, he dared not open it rashly now.

After all, it was left behind by a Dou Sheng powerhouse. There might be some kind of mechanism inside. It wouldn't be worth it if he wasted his time here and delayed his chance to seize the Heaven-Rank Dou Technique.

After all, Xiao Fan's biggest goal in entering this ancient ruin was to obtain the Heavenly Rank Battle Technique, Great Creation Palm, and secondly, to target the powerful figures from the Soul Palace and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.

However, even now, Xiao Fan has not seen anyone from either of the two clans.

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Fan put the two scrolls into his storage ring, intending to make further plans after leaving the ancient ruins.

After carefully examining the attic and finding nothing else of interest, Xiao Fan left and continued deeper into the passage.

However, due to the delay just now, many of the pavilions on both sides of the passage have already been opened by the subsequent powerful individuals.

Xiao Fan continued walking deeper into the building, encountering several powerful figures emerging from the pavilion along the way. However, he only exchanged brief glances with them and then paid them no further attention.

The other party could not detect Xiao Fan's presence and dared not act rashly.

After a while, Xiao Fan finally reached the end of his passage, where two groups of people were facing each other in front of a pavilion.

Xiao Fan looked at the two opposing forces and a playful smile appeared on his face.

Among the two opposing parties, one of them was none other than Burning Flame Valley, and the leader was none other than Tang Zhen.

On the opposite side of the Grave Rock Valley were the powerful figures from the Heavenly Dawn, whose chilling aura was extremely unsettling.

Xiao Fan never expected that he would encounter people from both the Burning Flame Valley and the Heavenly Nether Sect in this passage.

After all, according to the unspoken plan of these major powers in Zhongzhou, they would not choose the same passage for forces of the same level, in order to prevent them from fighting each other from the beginning and allowing other forces to reap the benefits.

On the contrary, little did they know that because he reminded Tang Zhen, the people of Tianming Sect did not notice the group from Burning Flame Valley as they moved forward. By chance, the two forces entered the same passage, which led to their current confrontation.

Xiao Fan's appearance was naturally noticed by the people of the two major forces.

When they turned around and saw that the person who appeared was Xiao Fan, their eyes flickered, and their reactions were quite different.

After all, the fact that Xiao Fan had a relationship with Burning Flame Valley was not a big secret in Central State, and the Heavenly Nether Sect, which had carefully studied Xiao Fan's life, naturally knew about it as well.

Upon seeing Xiao Fan appear, the experts from the Heavenly Nether Sect seemed to realize that staying any longer would be of no use.

They might suffer a great loss under the combined attack of Burning Flame Valley and Xiao Fan, so after giving Tang Zhen a hateful look, they turned and left into the depths of the passage.

Chapter 255 Obtain the treasure

Seeing the people from the Heavenly Nether Sect leave, Xiao Fan did not pursue them.

Meanwhile, Tang Zhen from Burning Flame Valley cupped his hands towards Xiao Fan and said, "Thank you for your help, young friend. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid the Heavenly Nether Sect wouldn't have given up so easily."

Upon hearing Tang Zhen's words, Xiao Fan shook his head and said, "Not so. Even without me, the people of the Heavenly Nether Sect would not be a match for Valley Master Tang."

After a brief exchange, Xiao Fan did not inquire about what Burning Flame Valley and Heavenly Nether Sect were fighting over.

Tang Zhen watched Xiao Fan turn and leave, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

However, he didn't say anything in the end, but silently remembered this kindness.

Xiao Fan turned around and walked out of the passage. Before him appeared a huge lake, and there were already many cultivators in the lake.

Golden light swirled in Xiao Fan's eyes, and the unusual phenomenon in the lake instantly came to his attention.

Beneath the once tranquil lake, a series of menacing, dark figures were hidden.

Xiao Fan looked at the cultivators struggling in the lake below, then looked up at the sky with a thoughtful expression in his eyes.

With a flash, Xiao Fan appeared in mid-air and flew forward. However, when he flew directly above the lake, a force that prevented him from flying immediately came, and Xiao Fan's body fell uncontrollably downwards.

Xiao Fan could feel that as he fell toward the ground, the snake-like magical beasts in the lake were extremely excited, and they were about to swarm him as soon as he entered the lake.

It's just a pity they encountered themselves...

Xiao Fan did not stop himself. The moment he fell into the lake, a raging, scorching flame erupted from his body.

The demonic beasts that were originally circling towards Xiao Fan immediately let out sharp roars upon sensing the scorching flames, emitting invisible waves that spread outwards.

Immediately, these tiny monsters fled frantically through the lake.

Under the burning of the strange fire, the lake's surface level began to drop at a visible speed, turning into wisps of steam that condensed towards the sky.

"Such formidable strength..."

The figure that had been struggling in the lake showed a look of horror on its face when it saw Xiao Fan's fierce performance.

However, when their gazes fell on Xiao Fan's face, everyone's expressions became quite complicated.

After all, Xiao Fan is now wanted by both the Heavenly Phoenix Clan and the Soul Palace, and most powerful figures have seen his portrait.

They had all fantasized about capturing Xiao Fan and bringing him to justice, after which they would receive generous rewards from both clans.

But at this moment, when their gazes fell upon Xiao Fan, no one dared to harbor such thoughts.

Xiao Fan remained calm, as if he were in an empty place. The original anti-air formation was completely lost as the water in the lake was burned away by the lust.

Xiao Fan waved his hand, and a snow-white lotus flower fell into his hand from the very center of the lake. This was the rare material guarded by the magical beast in the lake.

"A good harvest of the nearly extinct Snow Flower..."

Xiao Fan looked at the snow-white flower in his hand. For experts who cultivate charm and pupil techniques, this flower was an extremely rare spiritual medicine.

After all, this flower is almost extinct in the outside world, and it is rarely seen except by some powerful forces that may cultivate it.

After storing the Snow Enchantress Flower in his storage ring, Xiao Fan's gaze fell back on the lake. Looking at the dark figures scurrying about in the lake, a slight smile appeared in his eyes.

"Since you're the ones who are courting death, you can't blame me."

As soon as Xiao Fan finished speaking, a smile appeared on his lips. With a flick of his wrist, he reached out and a massive hand formed within the lake, which then began to rise into the sky.

"Crash!"

The lake water fell through the gaps between the fingers of the enormous hand, then fell back onto the lake surface, like a silver river falling from the sky.

However, as the lake water flowed back into the lake, the monster trapped in the palm of the hand did not receive such good treatment.

As the lake water gradually receded, countless dark, monstrous figures emerged in the palm of the hand. Without the protection of the lake water, the dark, monstrous figures writhed and twisted within the palm.

Xiao Fan looked at the twisted, dark horde of demonic beasts in mid-air, and with a wave of his hand, his massive battle aura swept over them, silencing the enormous horde of dark demonic beasts completely.

This dark monster often appears in lakes where the Snow Flower has taken shape, and its medicinal properties complement those of the Snow Flower.

Snow Flower is an invaluable medicinal herb for those who cultivate charm and pupil techniques, and similarly, the body of this pitch-black magical beast is a great boost for those who cultivate sonic combat techniques.

Although Xiao Fan himself didn't need it, he hadn't forgotten that Xiao Yan had cultivated a sonic fighting technique. These things could just help Xiao Yan improve his strength.

After collecting the horde of magical beasts in mid-air into his storage ring, Xiao Fan didn't continue attacking the remaining lake. After all, he wouldn't need much of it, and his current earnings were sufficient.

After storing the Snow Flower and the monster corpse in his storage ring, Xiao Fan's body flickered, and he appeared at the edge of the lake.

At the end of the lake was a lush forest. Xiao Fan's gaze fell into the forest, and a hint of amusement appeared in his eyes.

In this lush forest, Xiao Fan seemed to sense a faint, familiar fluctuation.

"It can't be such a coincidence..."

Looking at the forest before him, Xiao Fan smiled and stepped into it without hesitation.

...........................

Just as the battle among the powerful figures was raging within the ruins, outside the ruins, in the Bone Mountain Range, a series of powerful aura fluctuations once again appeared.

"Boom boom boom!"

Many powerful individuals who felt they were not strong enough, but were unwilling to leave the Bone Mountain Range, are now gathering outside the ancient ruins.

As for whether they were merely observing from the sidelines or intended to do something to the powerful figures emerging from the ruins, no one knew.

However, at this moment, just as they were cowering in fear, powerful auras suddenly emanated from the outer perimeter of the Bone Mountain Range.
