Shao Xuan watched as Yi Xiang lifted the hand that had smacked the Bone Reading Beast away, then drew an arc in front of him. In the next instant, the arc of fire on the Yi family totem under Yi Xiang's feet expanded abruptly, spreading to both sides like a raging river. The flames on the fire path rose higher, no longer restrained. Like a gathering of ten thousand beasts, they were about to charge forward!
Yi Xiang's totem had been the size of a normal totem but now it had expanded to the size of a few hundred people. It was about the same size as Yi Tuan's totem, perhaps even larger!
Yi Tuan felt even more pressured by the fact that one person could do this. If possible, he did not want to fight such a person but he had no choice.
Shao Xuan's brows twitched. Even from afar, he could clearly feel the pressure spreading from the other side. Although his body was not here, Shao Xuan felt his hair stand on end, as if a cold current was running through his body.
This was not going to work.
Yi Tuan's probing earlier had affected Shao Xuan. Shao Xuan would not be able to avoid an even bigger storm. The next clash between the two sides would be a real battle of strength. Strong against strong, tough against tough. If Shao Xuan continued to stay here, he would become cannon fodder.
It was not safe, it was too dangerous. Was it worth the risk to stay?
After some thought, Shao Xuan decided to leave. Just now, when the two sides collided for the first time, he had figured out a way to leave. He planned to give it a try. It would be best if he could leave, but if he couldn't, he would retreat a little further and then be prepared to welcome the impact of the storm.
This was a form that surpassed his consciousness. It was similar to when he controlled the flame giant … Shao Xuan thought as he observed himself.
As if parting a cloud, Shao Xuan 'saw' a white dot. Shao Xuan suddenly thought of Yi Tuan's Bone Reading Beast.
Like the Bone Reading Beast, the white dot was the core of Shao Xuan's existence! It was similar to * * * * *, but not limited to * * * *. It also had powerful life force, like … a soul.
At this moment, there were many more flames wrapped around the bright white!
What Shao Xuan needed to do now was to remove all the flames that were wrapped around the bright white flame.
Using only his consciousness, he could use the power available in this state. Although it looked like he had left his body, he could still use many powers, such as totemic power and another power in Shao Xuan's body. What Shao Xuan was using now was a power that was not from the Yanjiao fire seed.
A thin white line of fire appeared around the white flame. Under the control of Shao Xuan's consciousness, it circled around the white flame. Every time it circled around the white flame, a part of the flame would be taken away.
One circle, two circles …
At first, the white line of fire slowly circled around, but later, it skillfully sped up to form a whirlpool, enveloping the bright white and red flames. Bit by bit, the white flames were taken away by the white line of fire. The white flames also gradually became thicker, and the surroundings were covered by the red flames.
This was only happening in his sea of consciousness. In this dark void, the human-shaped flame on Shao Xuan's body decreased from bottom to top at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it was disintegrating on its own according to a specific pattern.
Yi Xiang, who was about to attack Yi Tuan, paused, turning to look at Shao Xuan.
Yi Tuan saw Yi Xiang's reaction and glanced over as well, only to see half of the figure disappearing.
There was a person standing there, of course people would notice. Although Yi Tuan focused all his attention on Yi Xiang, many people from the Yi family were also watching Shao Xuan. Their target this time was not Shao Xuan but they would not trust a tribesman, especially one with old grudges. Of course they had to be cautious.
The moment Shao Xuan started moving, the guards noticed that Shao Xuan was about to leave. However, they were more concerned about Yi Xiang and pretended not to see Shao Xuan. After all, Shao Xuan was about to leave. They did not expect Shao Xuan's disappearance to attract Yi Xiang's attention. Yi Xiang even stopped in his tracks.
When Shao Xuan completely disappeared, Yi Tuan sensed carefully but could not sense Shao Xuan's presence. Right now, there was only the Yi family's fire seed's aura in the air, nothing else.
They had wondered if Shao Xuan was the unforeseen 'accident' but now it seemed that was not the case. Yi Tuan did not know whether to sigh in relief or disappointment. His emotions were complicated. Shao Xuan from the Yanjiao tribe did not have the Yi family's bloodline and his fire seed's flame was different from theirs. However, Yi Tuan's first impression of him was not out of place, just strange. But now was not the time to think about it. Questions could be left for later.
Perhaps the kid was worried about being caught in the crossfire and ran away. What happened just now must have scared him. Many people from the Yi family thought so.
"Calm down!" Yi Tuan shouted. This was to distract them from paying attention to anything else.
After Yi Tuan's reprimand, the people guarding the formation calmed down. It was good that the tribesman had left, they did not have to worry about him.
They did not have to worry about an outsider becoming an unexpected factor in this battle, nor did they have to worry about Shao Xuan appearing again. Did he think he could come and go as he pleased?
Most of them would make ample preparations before entering this place. After all, it required a lot of energy, and it was easy for the mind to get tired. Although it was easier to exit than when they entered, it was not that easy. Only a small portion of the Yi family could enter this place. It was already a surprise that a tribesman could make it here, leaving safely could only be considered lucky.
The Yi family no longer thought about Shao Xuan. Shao Xuan's appearance and departure was like a pebble thrown into a vast lake. It only caused small ripples, not waves.
On the other side, when Shao Xuan opened his eyes, he felt dizzy for a moment. His vision darkened and his brain was very tired. It took him a while to recover.
He looked around him. Chacha was perched on a nearby cliff, one paw pressing down on a snake as thick as an adult's thigh. It was pecking at its food.
This kind of snake was not considered big in this forest, but in this area, it was already a rare big snake. After all, there were very few beasts living in this mountain range.
Noticing that Shao Xuan was awake, Chacha tossed the half-dead snake in front of Shao Xuan and hissed twice.
"I'm fine. I'm just a little tired." Shao Xuan patted Chacha's bird head. He got up and slowly walked two steps. His feet stepped on the firm ground and he felt the strong support of the ground. This place was completely different from the void.
Shao Xuan looked at Yi Zong and Yi Qi. He saw that they were still sitting in the same position as before. However, the jade stones on the square plates in front of them had changed positions. The biggest difference was the Yi family totem where Yi Zong and Yi Qi were sitting. Compared to before, the arc of fire in the totem was bigger and brighter. The flames were also taller. Naturally, the pressure it gave off was greater. The slaves guarding near the two of them were also further away.
Yi Zong and Yi Qi were among the people guarding the Yi family. Shao Xuan did not find it strange that such a change would occur under the influence of a hundred people.
Shao Xuan did not look at the two of them. He felt that he had used up too much energy. He went hunting with Chacha in the distance to find food. After eating and drinking, he even slept for a long time. His fatigue had completely disappeared.
Shao Xuan thought for a moment and sat down again. He took out a straw rope and tried to enter the void using the eight-rope knot method.
With his previous success, this time, Shao Xuan only wasted three straw ropes.
The dark void appeared again. With his previous experience, Shao Xuan quickly steadied himself and suppressed the discomfort. Shao Xuan had been thinking that he had already left to eat and sleep. By the time he returned, the two sides should be almost done fighting, right? But when Shao Xuan looked over, Yi Xiang and Yi Tuan did not look much different from when he left.
The two sides, who had just calmed down and prepared for battle, realised that the person who had just left had reappeared. Yi Tuan was about to throw out a bone divination when he froze.
Yi Xiang: "…"
Yi Tuan: "…"
The Yi family: "…"
His aura was different from the Yi family's so the Yi family recognized him immediately.
Why was he here again?!
How was this possible?
The first time was a coincidence, a stroke of luck. What about the second time?
They thought it was a stroke of luck to be able to enter this place and leave safely, that tribesman would be able to brag about it. Who knew he would appear again!
And this time, Shao Xuan's figure was more solid, not as blurry as the first time. In fact, he looked similar to many of the Yi family guards. They would not believe that Shao Xuan did not know how to enter this place!
Sensing everyone's stares, Yi Zong and Yi Qi said in unison, "It wasn't us!"
They really did not tell Shao Xuan how to enter this place!
If not for the fact that the situation was not right and there was no time to explain, Yi Zong and Yi Qi would have sworn a long oath to prove their innocence.
Everyone had just calmed down and prepared for battle when Shao Xuan's sudden appearance and disappearance made them uneasy again. Especially Yi Tuan.
Since when could a tribesman do things that even the Yi family could not do?
Yi Xiang did not say anything, but he stopped what he was doing. Both sides stared at Shao Xuan who had reappeared.
Shao Xuan was also confused.
The battle had not begun?!
Shao Xuan had already noticed something strange about this place. He had left for so long, even had a meal and a nap. Why had the battle not begun yet?!
Shao Xuan had a guess. This place was different from the real world. The time was different.
