However, in mid-air, one of the Dou Zong suddenly turned around and fled in the opposite direction while the other three were attacking Iron Sword Venerable.
"you!"
The three realized they had been abandoned by their companion, and their faces showed anger, but they didn't say much. Since they had made their move, they had no intention of returning alive. They attacked in unison, and the three of them charged towards the Iron Sword Venerable in mid-air.
The Iron Sword Venerable looked at the three of them, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.
Although they are opponents, they still dare to make a move against a powerful enemy, which shows that the three of them have earned the approval of the Iron Sword Venerable.
Unfortunately, they were destined to be enemies. Since he had already made his move, the Iron Sword Venerable could not let them return alive.
"You guys take action!"
The Iron Sword Venerable looked at the three of them but did not make a move. Instead, he looked at them and let them make their move.
Hearing Iron Sword Venerable's words, the three exchanged glances, said nothing more, took a deep breath, and their fighting spirit surged within them. All three knew that they could not possibly continue to live.
Therefore, the three of them did not rush to attack when facing the Iron Sword Venerable. After exchanging glances, they continuously adjusted their internal fighting spirit, and their auras slowly merged together.
The three energies eventually merged into one.
"Zheng!"
A moment later, the three of them turned their gazes to the Iron Sword Venerable and attacked together. Three dazzling battle qi of different colors surged from their bodies, merged together in mid-air, and then became even more powerful, attacking the Iron Sword Venerable.
"Not bad!"
Looking at the three's attacks, the Iron Sword Venerable nodded slightly and said, "The power of your attack has surpassed the limit of a Dou Zong expert, but against a Dou Zun... it's still far from enough!"
As soon as he finished speaking, sword energy surged in the eyes of the Iron Sword Venerable. The next moment, a sharp sword energy flew out from his body and attacked the three of them together.
"Shh!"
The three men's attacks were like children in front of the Iron Sword Venerable, easily defeated. The surging sword energy did not stop, slashing through the bodies of the three men before falling into the distant sky and disappearing.
The next moment, a crack appeared in the space in front of the Iron Sword Venerable, and the escaped Dou Zong corpse was split in two and fell from the void.
"Still running away? How naive."
Xiao Fan's figure emerged from the void, and the corpse that had been split in two was clearly Xiao Fan's handiwork.
With the deaths of the four Dou Zong experts, no one in the Yellow Springs Pavilion dared to resist Xiao Fan and his group.
"All Dou Zong, step forward within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, or you have no reason to live!"
Xiao Fan looked down at the opening below with a disdainful gaze, and with a wave of his hand, another circular area appeared on the ground.
Looking at the area that had appeared on the ground, everyone seemed to understand something.
A middle-aged Dou Zong expert stepped forward and addressed Xiao Fan and the others, saying, "Three seniors... I was only invited to the Yellow Springs Pavilion. I wonder if it is permissible for me to leave?"
Xiao Fan sized up the other party. Although the aura emanating from the other party seemed to be different from the Yellow Springs Pavilion's techniques, Xiao Fan still spoke up and said, "All Dou Zong, regardless of whether you are from the Yellow Springs Pavilion or not, gather in this area first."
Hearing Xiao Fan's cold words, the middle-aged man had grievances in his heart, but dared not show them at all. He cupped his hands to Xiao Fan and the other two, and then arrived at the territory that Xiao Fan had marked out.
With him leading the way, the Dou Zong powerhouses in the crowd all entered the area designated by Xiao Fan. Once inside, Xiao Fan and his group discovered that the Yellow Springs Pavilion and the employers who had come here were clearly separated into two groups.
By this time, everyone already knew the fate of the Yellow Springs Pavilion and naturally did not want to have anything to do with it anymore.
Therefore, their positioning clearly isolated the Dou Zong experts from Huang Quan Pavilion.
The people of Huangquan Pavilion were powerless to change this outcome.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn has elapsed, no one else has appeared in the crowd. Xiao Fan's lips curled up, and with a wave of his hand, two terrifying fire dragons roared towards the crowd.
Chapter 217 System Mall
The fire dragon roared out, and in the crowd, two figures looked at Xiao Fan's attack with panic on their faces. They turned around and tried to escape, and the aura that erupted from their bodies was that of two Dou Zong powerhouses.
However, given their strength, how could they possibly escape from Xiao Fan?
"call......."
Two fire dragons roared past, and it was unclear whether Xiao Fan was deliberately manipulating them. The fire dragons surged through the crowd, and their scorching heat made the many powerful people unable to muster any will to resist.
Their fear of Xiao Fan and the others intensified.
"boom!"
Immediately, the two fire dragons caught up with the Dou Zong powerhouse in the blink of an eye. Under the terrifying burning of the strange fire, the two had no ability to resist and were completely reduced to ashes in front of everyone.
Looking at Xiao Fan with a smile on his face, the crowd felt an overwhelming fear and couldn't help but take a step back, staring at Xiao Fan with horrified eyes.
The group of Dou Zong experts who had been separated looked at Xiao Fan and his companions with panic in their eyes.
"I've already said, all Dou Zongs must come out; there will always be those who try to take advantage of the chaos..."
Xiao Fan didn't look at the two figures that had turned to ashes in mid-air. He glanced at the crowd and spoke calmly before turning his gaze to the location of the group of Dou Zong experts.
"Gentlemen, we are not bloodthirsty people. We originally came to the Yellow Springs Pavilion to do business, and we will not deliberately make things difficult for you. However, we need your help."
"Senior, please speak!"
Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, the middle-aged man among the Dou Zong immediately spoke up. It was easy to see that he breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Xiao Fan would not make things difficult for them.
"The Venerable Yellow Springs is dead. All those loyal to the Yellow Springs Pavilion must die. Now, I trouble you all to point them out. Remember not to miss any, otherwise, it would be terrible if they caused your deaths..."
Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, the expressions of the two powerful Dou Zong members changed drastically. They exchanged a glance and were about to speak when a wave of attack came from behind them. The Dou Zong members who were originally standing around them immediately moved away from them, and one of them even launched a direct attack on them.
"boom!"
At the critical moment, the two men's fighting spirit surged, blocking the attacker's sneak attack, but in doing so, they were completely exposed to everyone.
"Click..."
The two joined forces to interrupt the attack from behind, then turned around, their eyes blazing with fury. However, they no longer had the chance to continue their attack.
Xiao Fan appeared in front of the two in an instant. Looking at their movements, he said, "So, it seems that you two can't leave today."
Seeing that the two were about to make a move, Xiao Fan shook his head, and a terrifying soul pressure surged out. Faced with Xiao Fan's pressure, the two Dou Zong experts trembled, and even standing was a problem, let alone making a move.
"laugh!"
After easily killing the two, Xiao Fan returned to Iron Sword Venerable and Xiao Yan's side and said, "Let's go. Huang Quan is dead, and his people in Huang Quan Pavilion are basically all gone. We don't even need to lift a finger; Huang Quan Pavilion will be divided up by the various forces that are swarming in."
Iron Sword Venerable and Xiao Yan nodded. Without the powerful Yellow Spring Venerable, the original first-class forces in the Central State instantly became highly sought-after, with countless people waiting to be annexed.
Swish!
As Xiao Fan and his two companions disappeared, the crowd in the Yellow Springs Pavilion, which had been suppressed for so long, was instantly thrown into turmoil. Without the slightest hesitation, everyone immediately fled into the distance.
After all, they weren't fools. Everyone already knew the fate of the Yellow Springs Pavilion. The few who still cared about the Yellow Springs Pavilion were powerless to change the situation.
Driven by the majority, they fled to distant places, and the Yellow Springs Pavilion, one of the four famous pavilions on the Dou Qi Continent, was thus annihilated in history.
As for the chaos in the Yellow Springs Pavilion behind them, Xiao Fan and his companions did not take it to heart.
After all, their main target was only Venerable Huangquan. The reason they attacked some Dou Zong was that Dou Zong was already considered a major power in the continent. Although it was nothing to Xiao Fan and his group, it would be quite troublesome if the other party disregarded everything and attacked the ordinary disciples of Xingyun Pavilion.
They killed the Dou Zong just in case.
Having lost the powerhouses at the Dou Zong and Dou Zun levels, a group of Dou Huangs, even if they wanted to take action against the Starfall Pavilion, would probably not have much effect.
Having resolved the issue of the Yellow Springs Pavilion, the three did not linger and headed straight back to the location of the Starfall Pavilion.
Xiao Fan didn't dare to completely trust the original story's plans regarding the Soul Palace's current actions.
After all, in the original story, after rescuing Yao Lao, the Soul Palace did not intervene for a whole year, giving Xiao Yan an extremely rare period of development, and even helped Yao Lao obtain the Soul Infant Fruit to restore his missing soul essence.
But the situation is different now.
Because so many high-ranking members of the Soul Palace had died at Xiao Fan's hands, he worried that the Soul Palace would be completely enraged and would make the Starfall Pavilion its primary target regardless of everything.
This is why he chose to take the initiative at this time and destroy the Yellow Springs Pavilion first.
.................
Inside the Starfall Pavilion, the figures of Elder Yao, Venerable Feng, and Venerable Tianhuo gathered together at the top of a pavilion.
The three of them looked rather solemn.
"If this isn't handled properly, the Starfall Pavilion might become history..."
The old apothecary looked at Feng Xian in front of him, and a look of emotion appeared on his face.
Feng Zun Zhe listened to Yao Lao's words and smiled indifferently, saying, "Hehe, if it weren't for you, old fellow, I wouldn't be alive today. I've already made enough by living this long ago."
Venerable Feng looked at Elder Yao with a hint of regret: "When I first learned of your death, if it weren't for the rather suspicious circumstances surrounding it, I probably would have given up long ago. It was only because I persevered that I was able to see you again, old fellow."
"I just never expected that, without a word, when we met again, your two disciples would already be renowned prodigies across the continent..."
Upon hearing Venerable Feng's words, Yao Lao smiled, feeling immense pride, and said, "Indeed, I never expected that I, Yao Chen, would have two disciples like these in my lifetime."
Venerable Tianhuo, standing to the side, looked at the two of them and sighed helplessly. He then said, "I say, can you two old guys stop reminiscing? Have you forgotten what our purpose is? The Soul Palace will definitely send out experts on this trip. You'd better hurry up and find some allies!"
"Ha ha ha ha........."
After listening to Venerable Tianhuo's words, the two old men exchanged a glance, burst into laughter, and then resumed their discussion.
Several days later, Xiao Fan and his two companions finally returned to the location of the Starfall Pavilion. Seeing that the Starfall Pavilion was safe and sound, Xiao Fan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Upon entering the pavilion, Xiao Fan saw Yao Lao, who was still in his soul form. A sense of helplessness rose in his heart. In the Dou Qi Continent, there were very few things that could restore the soul's source energy, and they were all legendary existences.
Venerable Feng had already sent people to search for him, but there had been no news.
Although Xiao Fan knew about the Soul Infant Fruit in the ancient ruins of the Beast Domain, at this point in time, the ancient ruins in the Beast Domain had not yet been revealed. Even Xiao Fan had no way to find out the location of the ruins and could only passively wait for them to be revealed.
Xiao Fan also checked the system's shop, and none of the refreshed items there could help Yao Lao recover his soul energy.
