Battle Through the Heavens: The Rock King Emperor's Leisurely Wanderings in the Mortal World

Chapter 63 Xiao Yan Protects Yun Yun

This forest is teeming with sixth-tier magical beasts, and in some extremely secluded corners, there lurk powerful magical beasts that are about to break through to the seventh tier, which could pose a deadly threat to them at any time.

In just two breaths, Zhongli appeared before the three of them like a ghost.

Zhongli's sudden appearance clearly caught Yao Chen off guard. He was flying at high speed when he crashed into him instantly.

With a thought, Zhongli's body became ethereal, and the medicinal dust passed directly through his body, landing behind him.

"Wow! It's Master!" Little Fairy Doctor gathered her fighting spirit under her feet, excitedly leaped up, and pounced towards Zhong Li.

Seeing this, Zhongli quickly solidified his body and steadily caught Little Fairy Doctor. After all, at such a height, if he didn't catch her, she would definitely fall and get injured.

"Why have you appeared here?" Zhong Li asked, looking puzzled.

"(⊙o⊙)...Uh..." Xiao Yan scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly upon seeing this, and then said, "The truth is that I accidentally destroyed my father's house while cultivating the Flame Dividing Wave Ruler recently...and then my father sent me to train elsewhere. Coincidentally, Elder Yao also thought that we lacked practical combat experience, so he followed your trail to the Monster Beast Mountain Range."

"The house is destroyed? Is the clan chief alright?"

"Father is fine. He usually handles family affairs during the day and doesn't stay in his bedroom." Xiao Yan gave another slightly embarrassed smile.

"It's good that everyone is alright. In the future, when using your fighting skills in areas with other people, be sure to control your direction carefully, understand?"

"I...I understand. Hehe..."

Then, Zhongli controlled the Lock of the Mortal World to drift a little distance away from everyone. Then, a flash of light appeared, and the next second, the huge body of the Amethyst Winged Lion King appeared in everyone's sight.

"This is the body and soul of the sixth-tier magical beast, the Amethyst Winged Lion King. I wonder if Brother Yao Chen could refine an Amethyst Wing?" Zhong Li asked slowly.

Yao Chen was also deeply shocked by the enormous object that suddenly appeared in front of him. When he flew a few more feet higher and saw the whole thing clearly, confirming that it was indeed a sixth-tier Amethyst Winged Lion King, he nodded slightly.

Yao Chen stroked his beard and continued, "If we use the body and soul of the Amethyst Winged Lion King to refine it, I'm confident I can forge the highest-grade flying wings among the advanced Xuan-level!"

"Wow! Master, is this for real?" Xiao Yan couldn't hide his excitement and blurted out. After all, when he learned that his father planned to use the pair of high-grade Yellow-rank flying wings as the prize for the family competition, he was somewhat unhappy. You see, his father had explicitly forbidden him from participating in this competition.

However, although those wings were only at the high-level Yellow Rank, they were still enough to allow one to soar through the sky. But now, upon learning that he had the opportunity to possess high-level Profound Rank flying wings, all the negative emotions Xiao Yan had felt earlier vanished without a trace.

"Master Yao, look at this! It's a sixth-tier magical beast! Even the fifth-tier magical beast, the Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagle, can refine a high-level Xuan-rank flying combat skill. So why can't this sixth-tier Purple Crystal Winged Lion King refine a low-level Di-rank flying combat skill?" Xiao Yan asked expectantly.

Yao Chen gently shook his head and slowly said, "Do you think this Earth-rank combat skill is something you can just get easily? It's not that easy. The highest level of your Purple Cloud Wings technique is only High-level Profound Rank. That means, according to its manufacturing method, it can only produce High-level Profound Rank flying wings at most. Let alone a sixth-rank magical beast, even if a ninth-rank magical beast comes, the situation will be the same. Of course, this technique definitely cannot be used to manufacture ninth-rank magical beasts."

"Oh, I see. But then again, high-level Xuan rank isn't low." Xiao Yan nodded slightly, his face not showing much disappointment.

Afterwards, Zhongli once again put the body of the Amethyst Winged Lion King into the Lock of the Mortal World.

Yao Chen sighed softly and said slowly, "This place is not suitable for refining. After absorbing the Spirit-Nourishing Powder, my strength has recovered considerably. Now, refining wings is a piece of cake for me."

"Well then, I'll take you to the cave where I live. That way, you can help me protect someone, and I can go find a fifth or sixth-tier magical beast suitable for making wings for Xian'er without worry."

"Great! Thanks a lot, Lion and Tiger!"

"Master, who are we protecting?"

"Yun Yun, the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect."

Xiao Yan (Yao Chen): "Ah...??!!"

After saying this, Zhongli led the way, taking Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor towards the original cave. Meanwhile, Yao Chen quietly returned to Xiao Yan's storage ring.

……

"You go back..." Yun Yun turned her head slightly, her gaze inadvertently falling on the man and woman behind Zhong Li. She paused slightly, then slowly asked, "Who are these two...?"

"They are all my disciples, and this is..." Zhongli pointed to Xiao Yan, about to introduce them in detail, but Xiao Yan, quick as a flash, answered, "My name is Yao Yan! This is my junior sister, her name is..."

Unexpectedly, Little Fairy Doctor was not to be outdone and quickly interrupted Xiao Yan, eagerly replying, "My name is Zhong Xian'er~~~"

Seeing the two senior and junior siblings arguing back and forth, Yun Yun found it quite amusing and couldn't help but chuckle, "Hello, my name is Yun Yun. You must be hungry, right? Come and have a meal with us."

The latest novel is first published here!

After saying that, Yun Yun steadily placed a bowl of steaming chicken soup on a large rock in the center.

Xiao Yan gently pulled Zhong Li closer and muttered in a low voice, "Master, you're really foolish. If you reveal that I'm Xiao Yan, Yun Yun can figure out you're Zhong Li even with a toe! Wouldn't that expose my identity? If your identity is exposed because of that, my junior sister will kill me!!"

Upon hearing this, Zhongli nodded slightly, suddenly realizing, "So that's how it is; it was my oversight."

However, when Zhongli's gaze fell again on the bowl of chicken soup in Yun Yun's hand, he couldn't help but think of Lei's disgusting and bizarre recipes. He frowned slightly, then waved his hand and said, "Never mind, I won't eat it. You guys enjoy it first. I still need to go to a more distant place to find a magical beast."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun immediately became anxious: "What should I do? You promised to protect me!"

Zhong Li pondered for a moment, then turned to Xiao Yan and slowly said, "Since that's the case, I will transfer my contract to my prized disciple. Don't underestimate him just because he's only a one-star Dou Zhe now; he holds a trump card that I gave him, capable of fighting at the Emperor level. You can rest assured."

"What?! How did I become your trump card for Xiao Yan?" Yao Chen complained softly in his storage ring.

"Really?" Yun Yun was clearly skeptical.
