"Qinglin, you are now the strongest here. Everyone's safety depends on you."
"Young Master, rest assured, Qinglin will definitely not let you down."
Then Qing Lin extended her icy hand and handed over the Wind Fury Dragon Flame and the Source Spirit Crystal, which she had sealed, to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan didn't stand on ceremony, after all, the Wind Fury Dragon Flame was a genuine different kind of flame, the only pity was that he didn't have time to absorb it now.
However, keeping the strange fire hidden will likely prove useful in today's situation.
Seeing this, Dan Chen took out an item from his storage ring and gave it to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan looked at the pill with some curiosity.
"Young Master, this is my improved Grade 8 pill, the Bodhi Marrow Cultivation Pill. It can remove all backlash effects from the body and restore the consumed soul power. You should be able to use it."
Xiao Yan glanced at Dan Chen. He wanted to refuse, but after learning about the effects of the pill, he couldn't bring himself to say it.
Because eliminating the backlash from his body was precisely the ability he desperately needed, he hadn't activated the Heavenly Flame Three Transformations all night, hoping to retain a trump card for himself. Now, Dan Chen's timely support was truly invaluable, and Xiao Yan sincerely thanked this seemingly insignificant genius from the Pill Tower.
He then said no more, took one last look at Little Fairy Doctor, and rushed alone towards the higher reaches of the Pill Tower.
……
Xiao Yan carefully made his way up the Pill Tower. The Pill Tower itself was still alright, but the area outside Saint Pill City was in complete chaos.
Throughout the journey, Xiao Yan could clearly feel the overflowing Dou Qi within his body. It was a portion of the Dou Qi shared with him by the Black Flame after its return. The Black Flame continuously devoured the Dou Zun experts of the Spirit Clan, and judging from its usual state, what it shared with him must have been a small portion. But even that small amount was enough to almost completely eliminate the level restriction of Xiao Yan's three-star Dou Zun, bringing him to the point where he could break through immediately upon sitting down.
However, given the circumstances tonight, Xiao Yan couldn't find a safe place to properly advance his cultivation. Meanwhile, the black flame had returned to Xiao Yan's arm, but as its host, Xiao Yan could still sense its unusual excitement.
It was a craving for killing, a thirst for blood.
Xiao Yan can preliminarily identify the flames emanating from Mu Gu as the Void Devouring Flame. This ability to devour is truly unique. Of course, given the state of the black flames, it is definitely not the complete state of the Void Devouring Flame.
Under normal circumstances, Xiao Yan would be extremely careful with Black Flame, but given the situation tonight, he felt there would definitely be another fierce battle. Black Flame was a very important trump card for Xiao Yan.
Having assessed his physical condition, Xiao Yan wasn't currently focused on rushing to the top of the Pill Tower. Before that, he had another very important task to complete—finding the Xuan Heavy Ruler.
Regardless of the Spirit Clan's arrangements, the opponents at the three giants of the Pill Tower will definitely not be simple, and there's even a high probability that Ling He, a Dou Sheng powerhouse from the Spirit Clan, is there. I still need to improve my combat power as much as possible, and finding my upgraded Xuanzhong Ruler will definitely greatly enhance my strength.
Xiao Yan wasn't slow; his location was already in the middle level of the Pill Tower, and he quickly reached the forging room where Haika was. The black iron door, originally engraved with defensive array patterns, was twisted and deformed, with dark brown blood scabs clinging to its hinges. A wisp of Crimson Lotus Heart Flame ignited at Xiao Yan's fingertip, its light illuminating the mess on the ground—the forging table had been overturned by tremendous force, the black iron anvil had shattered into three pieces, and charred metal fragments were scattered all over the floor, the air still carrying the distinctive metallic smell of molten flaming steel.
Several cracks, each a foot deep, were crisscrossed on the wall, and the spiritual energy clinging to their edges had not yet completely dissipated.
Xiao Yan swept his hands around and found that not only was his Xuan Heavy Ruler missing, but all the other weapons and medicine cauldrons were also gone. Scattered around the center where it had been forged were a few grains of slag from star black iron—leftover scraps from when Haika forged the Xuan Heavy Ruler.
Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly. He wasn't sure if Haika had left with his disciples or if they had already fallen victim to the Spirit Clan and had all their belongings taken away.
Just as Xiao Yan was about to leave, his soul perception suddenly alerted him that a two-star Dou Zun was approaching him.
Judging from the aura alone, Xiao Yan could basically confirm that the newcomer should also belong to the Spirit Clan. Xiao Yan made up his mind almost instantly to capture this guy first. As long as he was fast enough, a lone two-star Dou Zun shouldn't attract the attention of other Spirit Clan members.
As long as it's not a Spirit Guard, Xiao Yan still has a chance to get some information out of him.
Xiao Yan was also hidden in the darkness, and thanks to the advantage of his soul power, he was not likely to be detected by the Spirit Clan beforehand. The strength of the Spirit Clan's Dou Zun was definitely inferior to many veteran Dou Zun powerhouses that Xiao Yan had fought; at least in terms of combat experience, the Spirit Clan Dou Zun appeared more crude and immature than ordinary Dou Zun.
The moment the Spirit Clan Dou Zun entered, Xiao Yan revealed himself. The Soul Flow Black Vortex appeared almost instantly beneath the Spirit Clan Dou Zun's feet, and the Emperor Seal Technique in Xiao Yan's hand also erupted with intense Dou Qi energy.
In the end, Xiao Yan unleashed his full power without much effort, severely injuring and completely destroying the Spirit Clan's two-star Dou Zun's physical body. At the same time, he activated the Red Lotus Heart Flame to trap the Spirit Clan Dou Zun's soul within it.
Xiao Yan currently only hopes to extract some information from the person in front of him before speaking, otherwise wandering around the Pill Tower would be too inefficient.
"name."
The Spirit Clan Battle Venerable hesitated for a moment, then the Crimson Lotus Heart Flame directly burned nearly a third of his soul, causing him to scream in agony.
"My Crimson Lotus Heart Flame has no other effects, but it can ignite the murderous intent in people's hearts, and will surely torture you to the point of wishing you were dead."
"name."
"Lingwu".
"What brings you to Danta tonight?"
"I'm in charge of dealing with Haika; I know nothing else."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan also sneered, and the Red Lotus Heart Flame once again approached Lingwu's soul body.
He immediately begged for mercy, "No, I'll talk... I'll talk! We really don't know anything about what happened. Tonight's attack was entirely controlled by the Supreme Elder. But we suspect that he wanted to use our clan's blood to control all the high-level alchemists in the Pill Tower."
"What is the strength of the Spirit Clan's Supreme Elder?"
"Five-Star Dou Sheng".
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was also shocked. A five-star Dou Sheng—the Pill Tower was likely in serious trouble tonight. Moreover, with such a powerful expert in Saint Pill City, even if Mu Yaoyin arrived, it was hard to say she would be safe.
