In the dimly lit hall, Fu Yulong stared at the figure below the stage with his head lowered with a dark expression. His words were filled with dissatisfaction.
The difficulty of this matter had far exceeded his expectations. He had never thought that even the people of the Alchemist Alliance would participate. If this continued, it would not benefit his Sea Cloud Palace at all. If it was possible, he definitely did not wish to clash with Xiao Yan's group again.
An opponent like that was just too terrifying.
He possessed such terrifying battle prowess as an Origin Transformation expert. Once he reached Returnance, even he would not be his opponent.
However, when he heard Wu Kui's words, Fu Yulong's eyes immediately became slightly sluggish. He immediately raised his head and stared at the figure below the stage.
"Are you following me?"
"Hehe, I'm not interested. It's just that the person you're talking about just happens to be the person the higher-ups are looking for. If you can capture him, it'll be a great merit!"
Wu Kui did not care about what Fu Yulong had said at all.
Fu Yulong's face could not help but twitch when he heard that. He cursed inside.
If he could capture him, would he still be sulking here?
"Hmph, if you want a reward, go get it yourself. I'm not in the mood to play with you right now!"
Fu Yulong unwillingly cursed inside. He stood up and waved his sleeves, turning around to leave.
"Fu Yulong, you should think this through clearly. As long as you can capture Xiao Yan, I guarantee that your cultivation will definitely be raised to the Yuan King class. If you are able to hand over all the people who are still alive, you might even be able to obtain an even greater reward. Are you really unwilling?"
Wu Kui took a step forward and called out to Fu Yulong in a hurry. However, Fu Yulong suddenly turned his head and scoffed.
"Don't talk to me about such unrealistic things. Am I supposed to provoke the Alchemist Alliance for Origin King strength? You don't fear him, but I still want to keep my life!"
Before he had even finished speaking, Fu Yulong was about to leave. Wu Kui's face could not help but change slightly. He knew that he could not use a soft approach now, so he immediately snorted coldly.
"Fu Yulong, you have to understand that if you're not willing today, then before the Alchemist Alliance can deal with you, someone will come knocking on your door!"
Fu Yulong's footsteps suddenly paused. Seeing this, Wu Kui hurriedly continued.
"You should know that those people are a hundred times more terrifying than the Alchemist Alliance!"
Fu Yulong's throat involuntarily rolled a few times. Cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead, and even his body trembled uncontrollably.
When he turned around, his eyes quickly swept across the hall. After confirming that there was no one else here, he secretly sighed in relief.
"Hmph, there's no need to look for him. There's no one else here. For some unknown reason, that fellow should have met me a few days ago, but he still hasn't appeared. I don't know if he was delayed by something, or if something really happened."
"It's better if he dies."
Fu Yulong said coldly, venting the anger in his heart.
In response, Wu Kui sneered and said,
"You'd better not hope for such a thing to happen. Once he dies, the higher-ups will send someone stronger than him here. At that time, I'm afraid you'll have an even harder time."
"Since he didn't come, then this matter …"
"I've already reported Xiao Yan's situation to the higher-ups. They will send reinforcements tomorrow. As for that fellow, there's no need to wait for him. Once our men arrive, we will immediately rush to Qingyang City."
Without waiting for Fu Yulong to finish speaking, Wu Kui gave the order without the slightest bit of courtesy in the face of the former's ashen face.
"Humph humph, there's no need for you to look at me like you want to eat me alive. You and I are only working for others, and I'm only doing my part. Besides, as for the Alchemist Alliance, as long as you capture Xiao Yan and hand him over to them alive, you will no longer be threatened by the Alchemist Alliance."
As he spoke, an extremely obscure light flitted across Wu Kui's eyes. Although he did not say it clearly, it had at least temporarily calmed Fu Yulong's restless heart.
In Qingyang City.
Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on his bed as the Blaze Mantra rapidly circulated in his body. Tremendous amounts of Genesis Qi in the surroundings were drawn over and poured into Xiao Yan's body.
After several battles, Xiao Yan's aura had reached the peak of the advanced Origin Transformation stage. He had even touched upon the barrier to the Returnance stage long ago. However, the feeling was vague, so Xiao Yan did not want to be too impatient.
However, he would have to travel to the Burning Flame Valley in two months. Who knew what kind of trouble he would encounter then? Before that, he had to raise his cultivation as much as possible. This would definitely reduce some unnecessary trouble for Xiao Yan. As such, he could not care less about things like naturally occurring at a time like this.
As such, Xiao Yan would attempt to break through to the Returnance stage tonight.
Once he broke through, his overall battle prowess would definitely rise to a whole new level. Although there was a high chance of failure, this was the only way to raise his cultivation as quickly as possible.
"Huff huff huff huff …"
As the Flame Mantra Qi Method wildly circulated in his body, the surrounding Genesis Qi swiftly gathered. At the same time, a huge energy vortex was formed behind Xiao Yan. Wave after wave of energy was continuously poured into the vortex, entering the meridians in Xiao Yan's body. After circulating in his meridians for one cycle, it was refined by the Heavenly Flame until it was pure and finally poured into the vortex space.
"Sss … what is he trying to do!"
"Could it be …"
In the night sky above the Liu clan, Luo Jin and the rest leaped into the air. Numerous gazes gathered in the air above the room where Xiao Yan was located. There was a huge energy vortex there that was frantically devouring the surrounding Genesis Qi.
"Isn't he being a little too impatient!"
"The price of trying to break through to the Returnance stage with a cultivation of the Origin Transformation stage is no joke. Isn't he being a little too reckless?"
Zhou Tai stood beside Bai Hua as he stared at the huge vortex of energy in front of them. He could not help but break out in cold sweat for Xiao Yan.
They obviously understood Xiao Yan's cultivation very well. Trying to break through to the Returnance stage at a time like this was basically a dream in their eyes. None of them would have done such a thing if they were in his shoes. Even Leng Bingshuang, who was the first to reach the peak of the late Origin Transformation stage, did not dare to say that she had absolute confidence in breaking through, let alone Xiao Yan.
However, a couple of hours later, when the first ray of sunlight on the second day shone on the bodies of these people, the energy vortex actually began to gradually scatter …
On the bed, Xiao Yan, who had been crazily training for an entire night, finally slowly opened his eyes. He let out a long sigh and lowered his head to look at the three Spirit Stones that had been completely destroyed. The corner of his mouth revealed a joyful smile.
