In the courtyard, Xiao Yan frowned when he saw Bai Hua get up. He knew that the latter was injured, but how could she just sit there like this? However, just as Xiao Yan was about to go forward and say something, he noticed Bai Hua's gaze. The latter's cautious gaze had never moved away from Li Bingrui. He did not know what this woman's goal was, so he did not dare to be careless.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan immediately understood. He took a few steps forward and helped Bai Hua into the house with a smile. Only then did he tell Bai Hua about the relationship between this woman and himself. When Bai Hua heard that Li Bingrui was actually Ye Honglian's disciple, a shocked expression immediately surfaced on her pale face. She glanced at Li Bingrui outside the door, only to discover that the latter was coldly staring at the two of them. Bai Hua's heart immediately turned cold. Only after Xiao Yan comforted her did she regain her composure.
Soon after, Xiao Yan saw the Fairy Doctor. Due to the previous battle, the latter was still unconscious. After Xiao Yan checked her condition, he confirmed that the Fairy Doctor was not seriously injured. She was just too weak, and he believed that she would be fine soon. After handing the Fairy Doctor and Bai Hua over to Lian 'er's care, Xiao Yan left the room. The instant he closed the door and turned around, he just happened to meet Li Bingrui's extremely cold eyes.
"Don't think that I won't kill you just because you have a master's words. Once my cultivation is sufficient, I will personally kill you!"
Ignoring Li Bingrui's extremely cold eyes, Xiao Yan slowly walked forward and poured himself a cup of tea. Hearing the former's words, he nodded his head with a serious expression and said,
"Alright, I'll wait for you to kill me."
.....
Two days later, Xiao Yan's group and the people from the Burning Flame Valley majestically returned to the Burning Flame Valley. In the following days, the friction between the Burning Flame Valley and the two sects strangely decreased by a lot. After this battle, both sides seemed to have restrained themselves and no longer took the initiative to attack. Instead, they defended their own territories and were constantly vigilant.
Under this strange silence, news of Xiao Yan's name swept through the extreme south at a lightning-like speed.
After the battle in the Southern Barbaric City, the two sects were defeated. Xiao Yan's name resounded throughout the Extreme South. With the strength of a single person forcing two sects to retreat, all kinds of rumors were everywhere. This also imperceptibly deepened Xiao Yan's resentment towards the people of the two sects.
The days in the Burning Flame Valley could be considered to be peaceful. However, everyone knew that this was merely the calm before the storm. Under this kind of situation, all the upper echelons were doing their best to prepare. They clearly knew that after the silence in front of them, the undercurrents beneath the water surface would erupt in anger. At that time, it would be the time for the Extreme South to truly change. At that time, the Burning Flame Valley and the two sects would start a war. Once the war started, it would be even more difficult to determine the rise and fall of the two sects.
In the hall, the Burning Sky Ancestor sat on the main seat. Other than the various elders of the Burning Flame Valley, there were also many experts from various places who had joined the Burning Flame Valley later on. Xiao Yan was also in the hall at this moment. He was sitting beside the Great Elder, Li Chengxu. Usually, those who sat in such a position were the important guests of the sect. However, at this moment, no one felt anything strange when Xiao Yan sat there. They even felt that it was natural.
"Yesterday, we received news that the two sects are reorganizing the experts within the sect. They seem to be planning to find an opportunity to make a comeback. If they come out in full force the next time, I'm afraid that it will be a decisive battle. They want to flatten my Burning Flame Valley in one fell swoop …"
The First Elder furrowed his brows tightly. After explaining all the information he had obtained, he repeated the most important content. When he said these words, Li Chengxu's old face carried a trace of seriousness. If the two sects really came out in full force the next time, it was likely that even the Burning Flame Valley would not be able to match up against that strength.
"Hmph. Just let them come. Right now, my Burning Flame Valley has Elder Xiao Yan. No matter how many of them come, they will be completely annihilated!"
"That's right. As long as Elder Xiao Yan is here, any Origin King is merely a decoration. There is nothing to be afraid of!"
After Li Chengxu's words fell, some cold laughter sounded from within the great hall. After the battle in the Southern Barbaric City, Xiao Yan's fame had already spread throughout the Burning Flame Valley. He was invincible under the Origin Emperor and was treated by many as a bargaining chip for the next battle. It was as if as long as Xiao Yan was here, those so-called Origin King experts would no longer be a threat.
"Confidence is a good thing. However, going too far is just as bad as not going far enough. Before the real battle begins, no one can easily relax."
On the main seat, the Burning Sky Ancestor indifferently said a sentence. After which, he began to arrange the preparations for the upcoming battle in the Burning Flame Valley. After the rest of the people left the great hall, he deeply sighed. His brows were tightly knitted as he looked at Xiao Yan and Li Chengxu below. He shook his head and slowly said,
"This old man is not too worried about anything else. However, the key is the Ghost Hall …"
When the two words' Ghost Hall 'were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became much more tense. Xiao Yan and Li Chengxu also tightly knitted their brows as grave expressions appeared on their faces. Earlier, in order to not cause panic, the Burning Sky Ancestor did not say anything. However, at this moment, facing Xiao Yan and Li Chengxu, there was naturally no need to hide something that everyone understood in their hearts.
There was naturally no need to say much about the strength of the Ghost Hall. As an enormous and strange faction that caused people to tremble in fear on this continent, there was no one who would not panic and fear because of it. However, the real trouble that Xiao Yan and the rest were currently facing was precisely that group of fellows.
They had long known about the contact between the Heavenly Puppet Sect and the Ghost Hall. Although they did not see the figure of the Ghost Hall during the great battle between the two sects in the past three years, now that the battle was approaching, once the Ghost Hall participated in the decisive battle between the Burning Flame Valley and the other two sects, everything would be hard to say.
With the current foundation of the Burning Flame Valley, even if they were to put everything on the line, they would definitely not be a match for the three factions.
In terms of fighting strength, the current Burning Flame Valley was already unable to produce any experts above the Origin King level.
"Why don't we ask Xiao Yan to ask the Yunyin Pavilion to take action? Isn't that pavilion master your friend? If …"
"There's no other way. I've mentioned this matter to him earlier and he has also stated that the Yunyin Pavilion cannot participate in the dispute between the factions of any province. Therefore, this method will not work."
Li Chengxu had originally wanted to place his hopes on the Yunyin Pavilion. However, when Xiao Yan said these words, he could only dispel the thought in the bottom of his heart. However, immediately after, just as the Burning Heaven Ancestor and Great Elder Li Chengxu were feeling helpless and puzzled, Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly lit up. Although the method that Li Chengxu suggested would not work, his words had coincidentally reminded him.
"Although the Yunyin Pavilion cannot participate in the dispute between provinces, but … Perhaps I still have a way!"
When these words were spoken, the gazes of the two people in the hall instantly locked onto Xiao Yan. Their eyes were filled with joy as if they had survived a calamity.
