They did not directly return to the Burning Flame Valley after the battle in Southern Man City. Instead, they stayed in the city temporarily. After all, they had to consider the fact that many of their elders were injured and the fact that the people from the two sects had just left. They could return at any time to launch a sneak attack, so it was better to stay for a few days.
After settling the Little Fairy Doctor and Bai Hua, the group was led by Ancestor Fen Tian and escorted by a group of experts from the Burning Flame Valley. They arrived at a large hall within the city in a mighty manner. Everyone sat down and a female servant immediately served tea to them. After which, Ancestor Fen Tian's face was full of smiles as he turned his gaze to Xiao Yan.
"Hehe, little guy, it's been three years since we last met, yet you've already become an Eight Star Origin King. You really do surprise me!"
Once these words were uttered, some of the Elders who were drinking tea in the large hall instantly became sluggish. There were even some who could not resist the shock in their hearts and spat out the tea that had already entered their mouths with a 'puff' sound. Their faces were filled with shock. Soon after, all the gazes in the hall landed on Xiao Yan's body in unison.
Although Xiao Yan was also an Origin King, the aura on his body had maintained a kind of blurry state. Perhaps this was because he had just broken through. However, at the very least, other than Ancestor Fen Tian and the few upper echelon Elders, no one was able to see through Xiao Yan's true cultivation. At this moment, the shock in everyone's hearts had already reached an indescribable degree after Ancestor Fen Tian spoke.
They clearly remembered that Xiao Yan had only broken through to mid Returnance three years ago after entering the Burning Flame Valley. His speed had already surprised many elders, yet now, after three years, Xiao Yan's cultivation had already surpassed many of the experts present. Even Xuan Hua, who had consumed the Geocentric Milk Essence, was only a Seven Star Origin King.
Becoming a 7-Star Origin Monarch in three years was a cultivation speed that Xuan Hua had bragged about in front of many of his old friends. However, it wasn't until today that he finally saw what a freak was!
In just three years, Xiao Yan had gone from mid Returnance to an Eight Star Origin King. If he continued to grow at this speed, in a few more decades, would he not … Many people hurriedly cut off their terrifying thoughts when they thought up to there. If that really was the case, Xiao Yan was just too terrifying.
"This kid … just what has he been through in the past three years?"
Xiao Yan could not help but redden when he saw how everyone present reacted in shock because of him. He hurriedly clasped his hands at the ancestor and smiled awkwardly.
"I was just lucky."
Spurt!
However, when those words were spoken, it caused many experts present to vomit blood in their hearts. Even so, he was still saying that it was a fluke. If he was serious, he would have to become an Origin Emperor.
Some of the Burning Flame Valley's Elders involuntarily glared viciously at Xiao Yan when they thought of this. On the other hand, Ancestor Fen Tian smiled faintly. Others might be unaware, but he was clearly aware that Xiao Yan had naturally paid an extremely great price in order to obtain such a great improvement during these three years. The reason was naturally the 'Heavenly Flame'.
Although most of the people present had witnessed Xiao Yan's terrifying strength, they had forgotten that Xiao Yan had only managed to obtain his current strength after much difficulty by putting his life on the line. It was actually quite reasonable for him to say that he was lucky. After all, no one was completely confident that they could devour a heavenly flame. Fortunately, Xiao Yan had done it.
Xiao Yan's matter had come to an end. Afterwards, everyone began to discuss the recent battles that had occurred elsewhere. At the same time, they understood the situation between the Burning Flame Valley and the two sects through their conversations. Xiao Yan could not help but frown when he learned that the two sects had actually spread the flames of war to the east of the Extreme South. He remembered that Luo Jin had told him that the east of the Extreme South was the territory of the Yunyin Pavilion. Relatively speaking, that region was a peaceful place. At the same time, it was where the Extreme South truly flourished. He had never thought that the people from the two sects would be so bold as to spread the flames of war there.
After a series of discussions and reports, the rest of the people left one after another. Only Xiao Yan and the ancestor remained in the hall.
"Xiao Yan, the old me needs to thank you for lending a hand in today's battle!"
The heart of the Burning Sky Ancestor still palpitated when he recalled the battle situation outside of the Southern Barbaric City today. If Xiao Yan had not hurried back at the critical moment and seriously injured quite a number of Origin Kings, it was likely that his Burning Flame Valley would have suffered a serious injury today. Fortunately, none of that had happened.
"Senior is an old friend of my ancestor, so junior should naturally take action. Moreover, I am also an honorary elder of the Burning Flame Valley. Speaking of which, I am also a part of the Burning Flame Valley. Senior, there is no need to be polite."
Hearing this, the ancestor laughed out loud. Then, he came back to his senses and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?
Where's Xiao Xuan? Didn't that fellow leave with you? Why are you the only one who came back? "
Only when Xiao Xuan was mentioned did the expression on Xiao Yan's face change. Then, he roughly described what had happened on the way to the Fire Maple Forest with Xiao Xuan. When the ancestor found out that the person who took Xiao Xuan away was actually Xiao Mingyuan, the expression on his old face could not help but change. Only then did he tell Xiao Yan that the reason Xiao Mingyuan was able to find them back then was because Xiao Mingyuan had once come to the Burning Flame Valley. After the ancestor sensed that Xiao Mingyuan did not have any ill intentions, he told the former about the whereabouts of Xiao Yan and Xiao Xuan. However, he did not expect that it would actually lead to Xiao Xuan being taken away.
Fortunately, as long as Xiao Xuan was fine, nothing else mattered. Soon after, Xiao Yan bid farewell and left the hall. Only when he left did he turn his head and see Lian 'er's figure.
Xiao Yan's face immediately revealed a warm smile when he saw Lian Er. In his heart, he knew that the poison within the latter's body had already been controlled. This girl, on the other hand, was initially startled when she first saw Xiao Yan. Soon after, she pounced into Xiao Yan's embrace in front of his somewhat surprised eyes. They had not met for many years, but the little girl had not forgotten Xiao Yan. The impression and feelings she had for him deep within her heart had become even deeper.
Only after a long while did Lian 'er release herself from Xiao Yan's embrace. Looking at the person who was even prettier than before, Xiao Yan could not help but feel pity for her. The girl had just grown up, yet she was already lovable. In the future, she would definitely be peerless and devastatingly beautiful.
Afterwards, Xiao Yan arrived at a courtyard under Lian 'er's lead.
In the courtyard, Li Bingrui was sipping tea in front of a stone table in boredom. Opposite her was Bai Hua. Although she had not recovered from her injuries, she still had a leisurely appearance. He knew that the woman before him was not easy to deal with, so even though he was injured, he still accompanied her with a smile. Only when he saw Xiao Yan return did he stand up with some difficulty.
