However, despite their tacit understanding, the terrifying strength of the Dou Zun powerhouse still caused a significant change in the surrounding environment.
Fortunately, Xiao Fan and Ru Shuang were both very strong, and their control over their own energy was also very exquisite. Terrifying and dazzling battle qi attacks collided and erupted in the air.
After fighting Xiao Fan, Ru Shuang's contempt for him completely disappeared.
She never expected that the young man in front of her would be so powerful.
However, when Ru Shuang thought about Fang Yue Shen's identity as a messenger of the moon goddess, she felt that everything seemed to be justified.
However, faced with Xiao Fan's provocation, Ru Shuang naturally couldn't just sit idly by and wait for her fate.
In addition, she also had her own intention to test Xiao Fan, so the battle between the two became increasingly fierce.
"boom!"
Because of the presence of the strange fire, Xiao Fan's fighting spirit already contained an extremely rich fire attribute aura. During his battle with Ru Shuang, the scorching energy spread outwards, and the temperature of the surrounding environment gradually increased.
Such a commotion naturally alerted the powerful figures within the Sound Valley.
Or rather, when Xiao Fan first revealed himself, the powerful figures in the Sound Valley already knew of his arrival, but at Ru Shuang's signal, the others did not appear rashly.
Now, seeing Xiao Fan fighting alongside Ru Shuang outside the Sound Valley, concerned gazes emanated from within the valley.
After all, in a battle between Dou Zun level experts, only a handful of people in the Sound Valley could intervene, and they had already chosen to remain in the inner sanctum at Ru Shuang's suggestion.
After all, they knew that even though the gap between them and Dou Zun was already very small, the strength of the peak of Dou Zhong was still useless in such a battle, and might even become a hindrance to Ru Shuang.
In mid-air, Xiao Fan and Ru Shuang were engaged in a fierce battle, with terrifying and dazzling battle qi exploding in the air. However, Xiao Fan did not try to kill Ru Shuang. Otherwise, with his current strength, he would not have wasted so much time dealing with Ru Shuang.
Xiao Fan attacked Ru Shuang only to find out Yue Yao's identity. Judging from Ru Shuang's reaction, there should be some connection between Yin Gu and Yue Yao.
Xiao Fan also wanted to know what Ru Shuang meant by the "saintess."
Unfortunately, even though Ru Shuang was at a disadvantage when the two fought, she still did not give in.
"In that case, I'll have to offend you..."
Xiao Fan looked at Ru Shuang, who still refused to tell him Yue Yao's identity. His already dwindling patience completely vanished, and his gaze towards Ru Shuang turned cold.
As Xiao Fan finished speaking, Ru Shuang felt a sense of crisis.
After this brief exchange, Ru Shuang realized that she was no match for Xiao Fan at all. However, because of her identity, he did not go all out against her and held back at every turn, which is why it took so long.
Although she was unwilling to admit it, Ru Shuang knew that there was indeed a big gap between her strength and Xiao Fan's.
"Is this the power of the Moon Goddess's Envoy...?"
A hint of disappointment flashed in Ru Shuang's eyes, and she felt a slight regret in her heart. The reason she took action against Xiao Fan was partly because she did not want to easily leak information, and partly because of the resentment in her heart.
After all, even Ru Shuang wanted to go further, and the position of Moon Goddess Envoy was an excellent stepping stone.
Although she knew that her chances of becoming a Moon Goddess Envoy were less than one in ten thousand, who doesn't have a beautiful dream in their heart?
However, Xiao Fan's appearance made Ru Shuang realize that even though she was a Dou Zun, her talent had already determined her upper limit, and she had no chance of becoming the Moon God Envoy.
Ru Shuang never expected that Xiao Fan, who looked so young, would have such formidable strength and talent, which made her even more astonished by his abilities.
In reality, Ru Shuang was simply unaware of the outside world's news, and therefore unaware of Xiao Fan's existence.
After all, Xiao Fan had already fought Huang Luo, who was at the second level of Dou Zun strength, to a draw outside, and had already killed dozens of Dou Zun level experts.
Now, he is the number one on the kill list of both the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and the Soul Palace.
Such prodigies are extremely rare, even in the entire history of the Dou Qi Continent.
Because of her own strength, Ru Shuang rarely appears in the Sound Valley. All matters, big and small, in the Sound Valley have long been passed on to the current Valley Master, so little news from the outside world reaches her ears.
The higher-ups at Yin Valley naturally knew of Xiao Fan's existence, but they were unaware that the person currently fighting Ru Shuang was Xiao Fan.
Sensing the terrifying energy fluctuations outside, everyone in the Sound Valley was filled with fear.
After Ru Shuang's patience was worn down, Xiao Fan no longer held back. The blazing flames transformed into fierce fire dragons, which hovered and flew in mid-air before frantically attacking Ru Shuang's location.
Faced with the powerful and terrifying aura of the strange fire, Ru Shuang's eyes became serious. She released her own battle qi in an attempt to block the erosion of the strange fire, but it had no effect whatsoever.
Under the terrifyingly high temperature of the strange fire, Ru Shuang's attack was like a stone sinking into the sea, without causing the slightest ripple.
"laugh!"
The strange fire transformed into a ferocious fire dragon, engulfing the entire space. Seeing that she was firmly controlled by Xiao Fan, Ru Shuang's face revealed utter despair. She lowered her head and said, "I lost..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ru Shuang showed a hint of regret on her face, and her gaze towards Xiao Fan was very complicated.
"In that case, tell me about Yueyao..."
Upon hearing Ru Shuang's words, Xiao Fan waved his hand lightly, and the fire dragon enveloping Ru Shuang instantly solidified into a cage, enveloping her within it. Xiao Fan looked at Ru Shuang and spoke.
Seeing this, Ru Shuang stopped hiding it and turned to look in the direction of Yin Gu, saying to Xiao Fan, "Before I answer your question, I have to tell you that with your current strength, even if you know the news about the Holy Maiden, it will be of no use at all."
Ru Shuang looked at Xiao Fan with great seriousness. Although she had been defeated by Xiao Fan and had felt the terrifying strength emanating from him, she knew that with his current power, Xiao Fan was not qualified to stay by the side of the Holy Maiden.
Even with the Moon Goddess Trial Token in Xiao Fan's hand, Xiao Fan might not be able to have the last laugh.
"You don't need to worry about that. I just need the information. As for whether it's true or false, I'll judge for myself."
Xiao Fan spoke indifferently, looking at Ru Shuang with a calm expression, but his heart was filled with an excitement that was hard for others to detect.
Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Ru Shuang nodded slightly and then said, "The Yue Yao you mentioned is the Holy Maiden I spoke of. As you can see, I and the Yin Gu behind me are all forces belonging to the Holy Maiden."
"However, due to some special reasons, the Sound Valley basically does not participate in the conflicts between forces on the continent. Therefore, we live in seclusion and have set up formations in the mountains outside to hide our tracks. Unless led by someone from the Sound Valley, ordinary people have no chance of entering the Sound Valley."
Ru Shuang looked at Xiao Fan with a complicated expression and said, "So when I saw you, I thought you came with ulterior motives."
"I just didn't expect your arrival to be so dramatic."
Ru Shuang shook her head slightly and sighed, "Perhaps this is the guidance of fate."
After she finished speaking, Ru Shuang continued to speak to Xiao Fan: "You don't need to worry about the Holy Maiden's safety. However, I can't tell you more information. But if you really want to find the Holy Maiden, then head west."
That's all I have to say. Whether you believe it or not is up to you.
After Ru Shuang finished speaking, she closed her eyes and said no more.
Xiao Fan frowned upon hearing Ru Shuang's words, but seeing her appearance, he knew that it was probably impossible to get any more information from her.
The other party was clearly acting as if they wanted him to do whatever he wanted. Xiao Fan couldn't figure out the relationship between Ru Shuang and Yue Yao, so he naturally didn't want to offend them too much.
Looking back at the vast Sound Valley, Xiao Fan wasn't worried about the other side spreading false information. After all, Sound Valley couldn't be hidden. As for an ambush, Xiao Fan had no concerns whatsoever.
"Thank you very much. If what you say is true, I will definitely repay you in the future."
As soon as Xiao Fan finished speaking, he tore through the void and immediately moved away from this place. Without Xiao Fan's control, the fire dragon cage in the space gradually disappeared.
Ru Shuang stared at Xiao Fan as he walked away, then her figure flickered and she reappeared in the Sound Valley.
"Elder, you're back."
As soon as Ru Shuang entered the Sound Valley Formation, a group of beautiful women surrounded her, looking at her with concern.
The person in the lead was dressed in a blue palace gown, with her beautiful long hair piled up behind her head. She looked incredibly gentle, but the aura emanating from her was that of a genuine two-star Dou Zun.
"Yeah, no problem."
Ru Shuang nodded gently. The reason why the woman in palace attire did not show herself was because she had given her permission. After all, she was unsure of Xiao Fan's strength before he appeared.
If even she is no match for Xiao Fan, then adding a two-star Dou Zun would be of no use. It would be better to leave him in the Sound Valley, where he could rely on his Dou Zun-level strength to control the sect's protective formation and buy some more time.
The woman in the blue palace dress is none other than Qin Xin, the current Valley Master of Yin Valley, and also the child raised by Ru Shuang.
"Who was the opponent outside just now...?"
Qin Xin looked at Ru Shuang and asked, her eyes full of concern.
Ru Shuang shook her head and said, "He should also be considered one of the Holy Maiden's people, his name is Xiao Fan."
"Xiao Fan!"
Upon hearing Ru Shuang's words, Qin Xin's face showed a look of horror. She covered her mouth with both hands and looked at Ru Shuang with disbelief.
"You know this Xiao Fan?"
Ru Shuang's gaze fell on Qin Xin, a hint of surprise in her eyes. Could it be that the other party is very famous?
Upon hearing Ru Shuang's words, Qin Xin realized that the Supreme Elder basically did not concern himself with sect affairs, and even news from the outside world would stop abruptly after reaching her. In the past, this was to avoid delaying the Supreme Elder's cultivation, but now it seemed that it had instead led to a lack of information.
Immediately, Qin Xin waved her hand, and a portrait appeared in mid-air, clearly showing Xiao Fan's appearance. She looked at Ru Shuang with eager eyes and asked, "Elder, is this the Xiao Fan you are talking about?"
After receiving Ru Shuang's affirmation, the woman in palace attire wore an expression that was hard to tell—whether she was happy or worried—showing some surprise.
"He's actually one of the Holy Maiden's people..."
Chapter 249 Trial of the Divine Envoy
Above the mountains, a dark figure flashed across the sky, its terrifying speed causing no energy fluctuations, and no one was able to detect its presence.
This figure was Xiao Fan, who had just left the Valley of Sound. He had received news of Yue Yao from Ru Shuang. Although it was only a general direction, Xiao Fan did not choose to give up.
As Ru Shuang said, Xiao Fan was flying westward, and Ru Shuang could sense that this direction was the same place where the ice-blue spear had disappeared.
"It seems she wasn't lying to me at least..."
Although Xiao Fan has no way of proving that this is Yue Yao's location, it is still much better than being a headless fly.
This shows that at least he wasn't doing something in vain.
Along the way, Xiao Fan used his vast soul power to constantly probe the surrounding space, trying to see if there were any hidden spatial formations or spatial nodes.
Having just experienced the events of the Sound Valley, Xiao Fan had a guess that Yue Yao's location was even more secluded than the Sound Valley. It must have been hidden in a small world through some special means, just like the Sound Valley.
