..............

About an hour after Xiao Fan and his two companions left, a powerful aura suddenly appeared in the mountain range, and a vast energy fluctuation swept through the mountain range.

Immediately, the location where Zi Yan devoured Feng Qing'er was locked.

"Buzz!"

As space twisted, a pitch-black rift appeared out of thin air, and a figure in a silver robe stepped out from it—it was none other than Thunder Venerable from Thunder Mountain.

Lei Zun Zhe stepped out of the spatial rift, his face grim as he sensed the lingering aura. As soon as he emerged, his gaze fell upon the large purple cocoon remaining on the ground.

"boom!"

With a sweep of his palm, Thunder Venerable sent silver lightning hurtling past, directly piercing the large cocoon on the ground and bringing the scene inside into Thunder Venerable's view.

When Thunder Venerable discovered what was happening inside the cocoon, his pupils instantly contracted, and a chilling killing intent soared into the sky. Even cities quite far away could feel the pressure of a Dou Zun powerhouse emanating from afar.

Lei Zunzhe stared coldly at the dried-up corpse on the ground. Even he dared not suppress the fact that Feng Qing'er was dead. He immediately used a secret technique to notify the powerful members of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, while he himself remained on the spot, carefully examining any possible traces.

After a while, a vertical pupil several meters in size appeared in the space not far behind Lei Zun Zhe, and dense energy spread out from it. Then, several figures stepped out from it, exuding a fierce aura.

The leader was a middle-aged man who looked to be around forty years old. He had long, jet-black hair, sharp eyes, and an aura that had reached the peak of the Dou Zong level. Behind him were two high-level Dou Zongs.

All three were dressed in black and red robes, exuding an extremely strong aura of blood.

The middle-aged man at the head of the group had just stepped out of the vertical pupils when he immediately sensed the lingering aura at the scene and his gaze fell on the only remaining dried corpse of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix on the ground.

"Bold!!"

Upon seeing the withered corpse of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, the middle-aged man's expression changed drastically. A thick, pungent aura of blood instantly filled the air, and a crimson light flashed in his eyes.

"How dare you devour the life essence of my Heavenly Phoenix Clan!"

The middle-aged man glanced at the corpses on the ground, landed, carefully sensed them, and then said, "An extremely powerful battle broke out on this ground, with a strong fire attribute. The one who made the move must have been a fire attribute Dou Zong realm cultivator."

Upon hearing this, Venerable Lei immediately thought of Xiao Yan and his group on Thunder Mountain and told the middle-aged man everything that had happened on Thunder Mountain.

"It must be him!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's expression turned extremely gloomy. He then looked at the Thunder Venerable beside him and said, "Lord Thunder Venerable, we hope that the Wind and Thunder Pavilion can help our clan catch the murderer who killed our people."

“Of course.” Thunder Venerable’s eyes flashed as he spoke righteously, “Qing’er is my prized disciple. This person has been so presumptuous; naturally, my Wind and Thunder Pavilion cannot let him go. However, this time, it involves Venerable Wind…”

"Hmph! A mere Wind Venerable? My clan's experts dare to intimidate him!"

As Lei Zunzhe listened to the other party's words, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, but due to the power of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, he could only remain silent.

If it weren't for the immense power behind the other party, a mere Dou Zong would have been reduced to ashes by heavenly lightning for daring to speak to him like that...

Chapter 117 Senior Brother, He's Exploded!

Xiao Fan and the others were unaware of what was happening in the mountains. At this moment, they had already entered the spatial passage leading to the Pill Domain.

However, this place is too far from the Dan Domain. To reach the Dan Domain, one would have to travel through various spatial channels and it would probably take a month.

"This little girl just fell asleep like that..."

Inside the spatial passage, Xiao Yan manipulated the spaceship, looked at Zi Yan lying on the chair, then looked at Xiao Fan on another chair, and asked with a pursed mouth.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xiao Fan glanced at the still-sleeping Zi Yan, a glint of gold flashing in his eyes, before slowly speaking, "Hmm, she absorbed Feng Qing'er's blood and energy; there's too much energy, and she can't digest it all at once. I estimate it will probably take about a month to convert all the absorbed energy into her own strength..."

"I just ate too much!"

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, his gaze fixed on Zi Yan on the recliner, as he maneuvered the spaceship to travel back and forth. He then became extremely interested in Zi Yan's identity.

"Senior brother, do you already know Zi Yan's true form?!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan looked at Xiao Yan, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "You don't know?"

“…” Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Fan, paused for a moment, and then said, “Should I know?”

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's answer, Xiao Fan fell silent. He had assumed that after all this time, Xiao Yan had already guessed what Zi Yan's true form was. Ah, he'd forgotten he had an omniscient perspective...

Xiao Fan straightened up slightly, his expression unusually serious.

"Zi Yan's true form should be the Ancient Void Dragon."

"Hiss~" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's face showed a hint of surprise: "The most powerful Ancient Void Dragon among the three great magical beast families?!"

However, Xiao Yan thought about it again. Zi Yan's terrifying strength and talent for ignoring spatial seals were extremely frightening. Only such a terrifying race could match her identity.

"Doesn't that mean that with Zi Yan's backing, we don't need to worry about the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan behind Feng Qing'er?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's face lit up with joy. After all, it was rumored that the Ancient Void Dragon fed on the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. Presumably, now that the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan knew Zi Yan's identity, they wouldn't dare to pursue the matter.

"You're completely wrong..."

Xiao Fan's voice rang out as he addressed Xiao Yan: "As far as I know, the legendary Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void, since the disappearance of the Dragon Emperor, Ancient Dragon Island has been divided into four factions and has not appeared in the Central Continent for a long time."

"If Zi Yan's identity as the Ancient Dragon of the Void gets out, it might attract powerful figures from the Ancient Dragon of the Void clan. At that time, it's uncertain whether they will be friends or foes."

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, the joy on Xiao Yan's face vanished instantly. Looking at Xiao Fan lying on the chair, he stammered, "Senior brother...you...you're joking, right!?"

Xiao Fan shook his head and said with a regretful expression, "The aura left behind when you fought Feng Qing'er, given the strength of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion and what happened on Thunder Mountain, is enough to make them target us. As the disciple of Thunder Venerable, the Wind and Thunder Pavilion and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan will definitely not let Feng Qing'er off the hook."

Xiao Fan looked at Xiao Yan, counting on his fingers, and said in a mocking tone, "Among the major powers in Zhongzhou, the Soul Palace is a mortal enemy, and the Wind and Thunder Pavilion and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan probably won't let you off the hook either. Oh, right, there's also the Yellow Springs Pavilion. The Yellow Springs Pavilion is ruthless in its actions, and they probably won't let this opportunity for revenge pass them by, while also currying favor with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. Moreover, Venerable Yellow Springs and Elder Feng are at odds, so they'll definitely put in a lot of effort to annoy Elder Feng..."

Listening to Xiao Fan's rambling words, Xiao Yan felt a chill run down his spine.

Suddenly, they felt that the road ahead was filled with all sorts of bloody traps, and for a moment, they all had the idea of ​​escaping back to the Black Corner Region.

But then, Xiao Yan remembered the old Yao Lao he had seen when he broke through to the Dou Zong realm. The hesitation in his heart vanished instantly, and he became like a sword drawn from its sheath.

Even if there are mountains of corpses and seas of blood ahead, I can still get over them!

Looking at the aura rising from Xiao Yan, Xiao Fan's eyes flashed with satisfaction. Without pressure, where does motivation come from?

Seeing that Xiao Yan's will had become firm again, Xiao Fan didn't say anything more, but instead focused his gaze on the crimson storage ring in his hand.

His soul power probed into the storage ring, only to be blocked once again by the soul imprint that was as large as a mountain. After carefully sensing the soul imprint on the storage ring, Xiao Fan murmured wearily after a while, "The soul imprint on this storage ring has indeed been weakened a bit. Could it be that I still need Zi Yan to step in?"

Xiao Fan thought back to how the commotion in the storage ring was caused by Zi Yan, and since Zhu Kun was Zi Yan's father, it was likely that the mark had dissipated somewhat because he sensed Zi Yan's presence...

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan's gaze fell on the sleeping Zi Yan beside him. His eyes narrowed, and a short knife appeared in Xiao Fan's hand, gleaming coldly.

Xiao Fan gripped the short knife, reached towards Zi Yan, and then slashed at her arm.

The short knife, powerful enough to cut through black rocks like tofu, left only a faint white mark on Zi Yan's body, which healed in the blink of an eye.

Helpless, Xiao Fan sheathed his short sword, and then Chaos Flame spread out, condensing into a small dagger, which he once again aimed at Zi Yan's arm.

Swish!

As the dagger slashed across, Xiao Fan swiftly collected a drop of blood, then withdrew his hand. Looking at Zi Yan's healed arm, Xiao Fan took out a jade bottle from his pocket and placed it beside Zi Yan.

Well, trading a bottle of "candy" for a knife, Zi Yan isn't losing out.

Looking at the blood radiating energy in his hand, Xiao Fan dripped it onto his crimson storage ring. The blood quickly seeped into the ring, and then a faint, yet palpable, pressure emanated from it. The surrounding space instantly froze, and Xiao Fan himself felt as if he were being stared at by a powerful demonic beast; his entire body stiffened, and even the spatial passage was frozen...

Fortunately, this feeling was only momentary, and perhaps because there wasn't enough blood, the feeling of being targeted by a terrifying being disappeared.

Just as Xiao Fan was feeling relieved, Xiao Yan, who had been piloting the spaceship, suddenly spoke up: "Senior brother, it exploded!"

"what!?"

Xiao Fan was puzzled when he heard Xiao Yan's strange words, but he quickly stopped laughing. The spatial passage between the two of them was now covered with cracks after being suppressed by the aura. Then, under their watchful eyes, the spatial passage was instantly destroyed.

"Woah!"

Xiao Fan roared, realizing Xiao Yan's meaning: the spatial passage exploded!

Chapter 118 Escaping the Spatial Channel

"It happened!"

Seeing the cracks in the spatial passage, Xiao Fan only had time to exclaim in surprise before he could even mobilize his spatial power. The spatial passage shattered, and a surging spatial storm instantly crashed in, completely annihilating the remaining spatial passage into the void.

Fortunately, Xiao Fan reacted quickly, picked up the sleeping Zi Yan from the chair next to him with one hand, and then the power of space around his body surged, and the spatial storm that was originally hitting Xiao Fan was stopped for a moment.

It was precisely because of this momentary restraint that Xiao Fan was able to escape from the devastation of the spatial storm with Zi Yan.

A vast spiritual power swept across the void, and Xiao Fan's gaze fell on the spot where Xiao Yan had just stood.

They discovered that the area had long been submerged by the spatial torrent, and the spaceship the three had been riding on had been torn to shreds by the spatial storm, and then completely reduced to dust by the torrent...

Xiao Fan could not detect Xiao Yan's presence.

"This... no way!?"

In the void, Xiao Fan used the power of space to constantly regulate the space around him, protecting Zi Yan as he moved through the spatial storm, relentlessly searching for Xiao Yan's whereabouts.

With the spatial passage destroyed, Xiao Yan's strength has only just reached the Dou Zong realm. He might be able to hold on for a short time, but if too much time is wasted, given his Dou Zong strength, the outcome is likely dire...

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan's heart sank even further.

He hadn't expected that dripping Zi Yan's blood onto this storage ring would actually reveal a trace of Zhu Kun's aura.

It should be noted that Zhu Kun's strength had reached the late stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm, making him one of the most terrifying beings on the continent. The mere leakage of his aura caused Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan to lose all their energy to resist, as if their bodies were being imprisoned.

Under such a powerful aura, the spatial passage could no longer maintain its stability, ultimately leading to its rupture...

"No, it still doesn't work..."

After a few breaths, all Xiao Fan could see was an endless void. The spatial storm that had swept away had not yet revealed Xiao Yan's figure.

"No way? Could it really be that the so-called corrective power of the Heavenly Dao forces Xiao Yan to follow the old path and get separated again?"

Seeing that he couldn't find Xiao Yan, Xiao Fan couldn't help but complain.
