Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

"boom!"

Feeling the terrifying power of Xiao Yan's attack, Feng Qing'er gritted her teeth and unleashed her fighting spirit, pushing the power of the Demon Phoenix Bell to its limit to block in front of her.

As the fire lotus exploded, numerous spatial rifts the size of a thumb were also released. The Demon Phoenix Bell, which was powerful enough to withstand a Dou Zun, was completely annihilated by the explosion of the fire lotus.

"Click...click..."

As cracks continued to spread, the Demon Phoenix Bell in front of Feng Qing'er was completely shattered into countless fragments under the attack of the Fire Lotus.

Without the protection of the Demon Phoenix Bell, Feng Qing'er was instantly severely injured. The raging flames roared past, and the feather robe she wore also emitted a faint glow to protect her, clearly a treasure with good defensive capabilities.

Unfortunately, in just one breath, the light on the feather robe dimmed completely, losing its intended function.

Xiao Yan stood in mid-air, looking down at the giant crater created by the explosion of the fire lotus, his expression somewhat solemn.

If Feng Qing'er hadn't revealed her trump cards like the Demon Phoenix Statue and the Demon Phoenix Bell during her battle with Zi Yan, he probably would have been at a disadvantage against her. Unfortunately, he was well-prepared and easily defeated her.

Looking at Feng Qingre, who was panting heavily in the center of the giant pit, Xiao Yan's eyes were indifferent.

"So what if you defeat me!?"

Inside the deep pit, Feng Qing'er felt the pain emanating from her body. She felt as if she had fallen into an abyss, collapsing into the pit. Her resentment and the pride she had always held as a favored daughter of heaven were completely shattered.

She looked up at Xiao Yan in mid-air. His golden wings, illuminated by the sunlight, made him appear like a god. Feng Qing'er's face was filled with resentment and hatred as she roared at Xiao Yan.

"I have already used a secret method to notify the clan's execution team that you have secretly possessed the essence blood of my Heavenly Phoenix Clan members. No matter where you flee, you will inevitably be hunted down by my clan! It will be a fight to the death!"

Feng Qing'er's face was gloomy, and blood dripped from the corner of her mouth down her cheeks, making her look even more alluring.

"What's more, you've also secretly learned the Three Thousand Thunder Movements. I will definitely report this to my master. With the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and the Wind and Thunder Pavilion around, even Venerable Wind can't protect you!"

Hearing Feng Qing'er's increasingly arrogant tone below, Xiao Yan's face darkened considerably, but then a faint chuckle appeared on his face, accompanied by a sarcastic tone.

"What makes you think I wouldn't dare kill you?!"

Xiao Yan's smile, backlit by the sun, seemed to carry a hint of gloom, and a strong killing intent flashed in his star-like eyes.

"laugh!"

A faint rumble of thunder sounded. Xiao Yan drew his Xuan Heavy Ruler, extended it upwards, and, looking at Feng Qing'er inside the deep pit, forcefully hurled the Xuan Heavy Ruler down...

"No... Impossible! How dare you..."

"boom!"

As the heavy Xuanzhong Ruler slammed into the ground, Feng Qing'er's ferocious voice gradually faded, and a bloody stench began to emanate from the deep pit...

Looking at the scene in the deep pit, Lin Yan felt a sense of unreality. Then, he patted Xiao Fan beside him and shouted excitedly, "Holy crap, Xiao Fan is really dead!"

"Get out! You're the one who's dead!"

Xiao Fan rolled his eyes at Lin Yan and looked away. He hadn't expected Feng Qing'er to be so reckless. Even though she was no match for him, she still maintained the arrogance of a proud daughter of heaven, as if no one dared to offend her, and kept emphasizing that she would use her connections to crush him.

Xiao Fan had originally planned to let her play a role, but now he didn't need to manage her anymore and directly gave Xiao Yan a pro-max version of the trial.

Chapter 115 Zi Yan Devours, Parting Ways!

Just then, Xiao Fan noticed that Zi Yan seemed to be acting strangely...

As Zi Yan gazed at the scene in the deep pit, a hint of covetousness flashed in her eyes, and a dense purple energy enveloped her body.

At such close range, Xiao Fan could even hear Zi Yan swallowing...

Could it be...?

Looking at Zi Yan's condition, Xiao Fan recalled the legend of the Ancient Dragon of the Void feeding on the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. His lips twitched. Could it be that Zi Yan really wanted to devour Feng Qing'er?

Although he knew in his heart that Zi Yan and Feng Qing'er were both demonic beasts, Xiao Fan still felt a chill run down his spine at the thought of Zi Yan devouring Feng Qing'er alive...

No, I absolutely cannot let this happen.

"Zi Yan!"

Seeing that Zi Yan was gradually losing her senses, Xiao Fan gave a cold shout, bringing Zi Yan back to her senses.

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's voice, Zi Yan regained her senses. A hint of confusion flashed in her eyes before she swallowed hard, pointed to the deep pit, and said, "So...so rich in energy. I have a feeling that if I absorb this energy, I might be able to grow up..."

"Shh!"

At this moment, Xiao Yan landed in front of everyone. The huge Xuan Heavy Ruler was now back on his back, and the bloodstains on it had been burned away by the strange fire, leaving nothing behind.

Xiao Fan's gaze returned to the deep pit. Feng Qing'er's figure had vanished, replaced by the form of a massive demonic beast, its shape exactly identical to the Heavenly Phoenix auctioned in the Black Corner Region. However, the corpse before him didn't appear as ferocious, and the claws at its fingertips weren't as menacing...

Seeing Feng Qing'er transformed into a demonic beast, Xiao Fan pondered for a moment. He didn't stop Zi Yan from approaching; he decided to observe the situation first. The dense energy Zi Yan had mentioned earlier gave Xiao Fan some clues about the Ancient Void Dragon devouring the Heavenly Demon Phoenix…

When everyone arrived at Feng Qing'er's body, Lin Yan looked at her corpse with a hint of surprise on his face.

"This is the true form of the Heavenly Phoenix? I've never seen it before..."

Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance but did not answer. Instead, they looked at Zi Yan with concern.

Approaching the corpse of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, Zi Yan's eyes revealed a hint of greed. She then reached out and touched the corpse, whereupon a wisp of purple energy appeared on her palm.

As Zi Yan's palm came into contact with the corpse of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, purple energy, as if taking root, spread from Zi Yan's palm toward the corpse of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, quickly enveloping the entire corpse and forming a huge purple cocoon.

Under the perception of Xiao Fan and the others, dense blood and energy were continuously extracted from the purple cocoon and then injected into Zi Yan's body.

"So, the reason the Ancient Void Dragon devoured the Heavenly Demon Phoenix was because it could absorb the Heavenly Demon Phoenix's blood and energy to enhance its own bloodline strength..."

Sensing the gradually solidifying aura emanating from Zi Yan, Xiao Fan nodded slightly, understanding the relationship between the two clans.

"But... why didn't Zi Yan devour the Heavenly Demon Phoenix's corpse that was auctioned in the Black Corner Region back then!?"

Filled with doubt, Xiao Fan had no chance to find out. He didn't know if it was because the corpse had been dead for too long, and the stench had made Zi Yan lose interest, or if the blood in the corpse had gradually dissipated over time...

"Next, we'll probably face a double pursuit from both the Wind and Thunder Pavilion and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan!"

Watching Zi Yan continuously absorb energy and gradually increase her strength, Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Fan with a hint of helplessness on his face. Originally, he only wanted to defeat Feng Qing'er, but he did not expect to expose too much in front of Feng Qing'er. The most important thing was...

Even though she had already lost, she kept emphasizing that she would tell the Wind and Thunder Pavilion and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan behind her to launch a life-or-death revenge against Xiao Yan. Since she had said that, they had become mortal enemies, so Xiao Yan naturally wouldn't hold back anymore.

"Luckily, this place is deserted and no one knows about it. We still have some time to escape..."

Seeing the look of relief on Xiao Yan's face, Xiao Fan's lips curled up, and he suddenly spoke, interrupting Xiao Yan.

"If I'm not mistaken, Lei Zun Zhe must know that Feng Qing'er came to intercept us. It won't be long before he realizes something is wrong." (Originally, I wanted to write that Lei Zun Zhe and Taixu Ancient Dragon knew about her death, but I think that if they had such means, given the strength of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, they couldn't possibly not know that Zhu Kun was still alive; even at Canaan Academy, they couldn't determine whether the dean was alive or not. So, apart from Xiao Zhan's life or death being known to Xiao Yan through the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, such means are practically nonexistent in Doupo.)

Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Xiao Yan's smile suddenly froze. He then looked at Lin Yan beside him and said, "I'm sorry to have put you in this situation. However, the Wind and Thunder Pavilion and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan will probably only cause trouble for us. We will probably have to part ways for the rest of the journey."

Seeing this, Lin Yan punched Xiao Yan and said, "You bastard, do you think I'm the kind of treacherous villain? It's just the Wind and Thunder Pavilion and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. Whatever comes, I'll take it all!"

Xiao Fan and the other man knew Lin Yan's personality well. If Lin Yan were the kind of person who bullied the weak, he wouldn't have spoken up when facing Venerable Huang Quan.

“We know your personality, so we naturally consider you a friend. But the revenge from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan will likely be carried out by experts, and there might even be Dou Zun experts among them. Even I am not confident that I can protect you.”

Xiao Fan glanced at Lin Yan, a smile appearing on his face, and said, "Don't worry, with our speed, even if they really send out a Dou Zun expert, we are confident we can escape."

"Moreover, when dealing with a junior who has just broken through to the Dou Zong realm, they certainly won't send out any powerful experts at the beginning. As long as we are careful, we can naturally delay the inevitable."

After hearing Xiao Fan's words, Lin Yan pondered for a moment and finally nodded helplessly, clenching his fists. In the end, it was because he was too weak and couldn't help them at all.

"Alright, since you're heading to the Pill Domain anyway, let's meet again there!"

Chapter 116 The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan Arrives to Carry Out Executions

Lin Yan bid farewell to Xiao Fan and his group, a trace of resentment still lingering on his face.

However, he also knew that, just as Xiao Fan and the others had said, with his current strength, staying here would only cause them trouble...

Neither the power of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion nor the encirclement and suppression by the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan were things that a Dou Huang-level individual like him could interfere with. Despite his resentment, Lin Yan could only leave temporarily, hoping to reunite with Xiao Fan and the others in the Pill Domain. Unbeknownst to him, the gap between him and them had widened to the point where even his existence was a nuisance...

Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan watched Lin Yan's departing figure without saying a word.

The friendship between the two and Lin Yan was genuine. Letting Lin Yan leave was truly for his own good; having provoked the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, and the lurking Soul Palace, their situation was likely extremely dangerous...

Letting Lin Yan go first was also to prevent him from getting bogged down in this mess and to protect his safety...

After Lin Yan left, the two of them turned their gazes back to Zi Yan, who was absorbing energy, and a wry smile appeared on their faces.

"Brother, what should I do?"

Seeing Zi Yan encased in a large cocoon after absorbing the essence of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix's blood, Xiao Yan looked helplessly at Xiao Fan. In this state, Zi Yan was unable to move...

Looking at the large cocoon in front of him, a golden energy flashed in Xiao Fan's pupils. Under the operation of his Golden Eyes, Xiao Fan vaguely sensed the figure of Zi Yan inside, as well as the dense energy that was constantly gathering around her body.

Having clearly seen the energy fluctuations within the large cocoon, Xiao Fan understood its purpose.

"Don't worry, this large cocoon was formed to protect her. She's still absorbing its energy. Once Ziyan has finished absorbing the energy, we can take her away..."

Xiao Yan nodded slightly upon hearing this, and waited for half an hour.

After Xiao Fan realized that Zi Yan had absorbed all the energy within the cocoon, he walked towards it, only to feel a sense of rejection emanating from it...

Xiao Fan frowned slightly, looking at the large cocoon before him. He was unsure whether to launch a direct attack. After all, if he couldn't take Zi Yan away now, and things dragged on, powerful figures from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion might arrive to check on Feng Qing'er's condition...

Just as Xiao Fan hesitated, he noticed that the obstruction from the cocoon had disappeared. He then walked directly towards the cocoon. Looking at the cocoon layer blocking his way, he waved his hand lightly, and a wisp of cold light flashed, revealing an entrance large enough for one person to pass through.

Inside the structure, Zi Yan hovered above a net-like cradle formed by energy from within a large cocoon. The little girl's figure had grown quite a bit, and she looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old.

Looking at Zi Yan, who was still digesting energy with her eyes closed, Xiao Fan knew that the magical beast had devoured a large amount of energy and reached the critical point of breakthrough, and was now in a deep sleep to digest and absorb the energy.

The corpse of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix that was originally on the ground has now become extremely dry, and all the energy in it has been absorbed by Zi Yan, leaving only an empty shell.

Xiao Fan walked to the cradle, looked at the sleeping Zi Yan, picked her up, glanced at the withered corpse of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix beside him, but did not move, leaving her where she was...

"Let's go!"

Xiao Fan led Zi Yan out of the cocoon, exchanged a glance with Xiao Yan, and the two headed towards the nearest city with a spatial wormhole.
