Battle Through the Heavens: Reap the Red Lotus Karmic Flame at the Start

"I'm not seeing things, am I? That's a spirit!"

"It's definitely an elder of the Medicine Clan!"

"Elder Wan Gui! But why?"

"Damn it, Xiao Yan, what have you done?"

The moment Xiao Yan casually waved his hand and retrieved Yao Wangui's soul from his storage ring, the trade fair fell into a deathly silence, followed by an unprecedented uproar. Although the soul appeared somewhat ethereal, its face and aura were unmistakably those of Yao Wangui, the punishment elder of the Yao clan!

These powerful figures naturally knew more or less about Yao Wangui and Yao Lao, as well as their clash with Xiao Yan that day. They could understand why Xiao Yan harbored resentment towards Yao Wangui and tried to target him, even taking action against him outside the Yao Clan. However, the scene before them was truly unbelievable.

Despite their formidable strength, the Stone Clan always tried their best to conceal their true identity when trading the remains of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, never revealing their names directly.

But what Xiao Yan did was really too outrageous. Yao Wangui, who was fine just a few days ago, is now just a soul. Xiao Yan is practically slapping the Yao Clan in the face. If he's not careful, the Yao Clan's trade fair might not even be able to continue.

Xiao Yan remained calm, ignoring the noise, and focused his attention on the people of the Medicine Clan.

Some of the young members of the Medicine Clan were extremely angry after seeing the appearance of the soul. Their eyes were bloodshot, and their fighting spirit surged uncontrollably. They wished they could immediately attack and tear Xiao Yan to pieces.

Some of the more composed members of the Medicine Clan appeared extremely astonished. Some even turned and fled the moment they saw Yao Wangui's soul. Clearly, these cautious individuals were going to verify whether Yao Wangui had truly perished. However, Xiao Yan had no intention of waiting for them, because he knew perfectly well that the one in his hand was indeed the genuine Yao Wangui.

At the heart of the Medicine Clan's camp, the seemingly unwavering figure, Medicine Clan Chief Yao Dan, stood quietly, his gaze fixed intently on Xiao Yan. No fighting spirit emanated from him, but often, calmness is far more terrifying than an outburst.

"Lord Xiao Yan, your actions today in front of so many friends from Zhongzhou should at least give our Medicine Clan a satisfactory explanation, right?"

Xiao Yan was pleased to see that Yao Dan hadn't immediately gone berserk after seeing the souls of his clansmen, which was roughly in line with his expectations. Yao Dan was, after all, the patriarch of the Yao clan, and his mental fortitude and composure were far beyond that of ordinary people. Furthermore, because Yao Dan hadn't reacted excessively, the other powerful members of the Yao clan also remained calm, which made Xiao Yan feel quite relieved. At least the situation was still under control, and his subsequent presentation could proceed smoothly.

Capturing Yao Wangui's soul was a risky move, but Xiao Yan did it anyway, willing to take the risk for his teacher. Yao Wangui had forced Yao Lao to leave the Yao Clan, leaving him with no place to stay. Now, Xiao Yan wanted to make Yao Wangui feel completely abandoned by the Yao Clan!

"Clan Chief Yaodan has misunderstood. I discussed it with Elder Yaowangui from the beginning, and he was willing to cooperate with me to perform this soul rebirth technique."

Xiao Yan smiled slightly and asked Yao Wangui's soul, "Elder Yao Wangui, was what I said correct?"

Yao Wangui appeared extremely dejected on this occasion; he was now only a soul present. He then nodded and said, "That's right... Clan leader, you don't need to worry about me."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's smile truly blossomed. He glanced in Xun'er's direction, knowing that Xun'er's judgment was correct once again.

Yao Wangui was an extremely self-serving person; nothing was more important to him than his own interests. He framed Yao Lao for his own selfish desires, forcing him to leave the Yao clan.

Before the Pill Gathering began, Yao Wangui attacked Xiao Yan, which Xiao Yan found even more incomprehensible. Most of the high-ranking members of the Yao Clan were already aware of the current power of the Guiyuan Mansion, and even Yao Dan himself had expressed goodwill towards the Guiyuan Mansion. However, Yao Wangui was still extremely harsh towards Xiao Yan and Yao Lao.

Xun'er, who knew everything, immediately explained everything to Xiao Yan: In Yao Wangui's view, the interests of the entire Yao Clan were not as important as his own. Now he was a genuine four-star elder in the Yao Clan, and although the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan were outside, that was still a matter for the clan leader to consider.

However, once the Guiyuan Mansion and the Medicine Clan established a stable alliance, he would face immense pressure. He didn't want to confront this situation, so he was determined to create a complete conflict between them at a grand event like the Pharmacopoeia. With Xiao Yan and Yao Lao insulted, close cooperation between them would be impossible in the future. But due to his limited strength, he not only failed but also became a laughingstock.

Xun'er gave him a very apt evaluation: an incompetent parasite lying under the big tree of the Dou Di family.

Before the transaction officially began, Xiao Yan used Yao Wangui's soul as leverage. If Yao Wangui dared to ask for help, Xiao Yan would immediately and completely destroy Yao Wangui's soul.

Throughout the entire transaction, Xiao Yan stayed close to Yao Wangui. Even though Yao Wangui was unwilling, he could only accept Xiao Yan's proposal and say that everything was fine.

This was, of course, just an excuse, and many people didn't even believe it, but Xiao Yan no longer cared. Actions speak louder than words; as long as he demonstrated the effects, the Medicine Clan would know what to do.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan tilted his head slightly and transmitted a few words to Wang Yun beside him. Upon hearing Xiao Yan's message, Wang Yun's expression immediately became somewhat unnatural, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. The matter was originally quite simple; he was going to use even better materials to revive someone else again. He glared at Xiao Yan fiercely. After all, he was an old fox who had lived for many years and knew what he should do in this situation.

So he took out the Source Spirit Crystal and accepted the herbs given to him by Xiao Yan. The moment these herbs appeared, a rich, pleasant aroma filled the air. Then, Wang Yun formed hand seals, demonstrating the resurrection technique he had painstakingly researched for many years.

Using the Origin Spirit Crystal as the core and the medicinal liquid as the foundation, he directly began to forge a new body. This was no ordinary forging; to ensure the best results, Xiao Yan provided extremely high-grade herbs, prepared entirely according to the top-tier materials used for refining a ninth-grade Profound Pill.

As time passed, bones, meridians, and flesh rapidly took shape in the flames. In less than an hour, a perfect body radiating a faint emerald green glow floated in mid-air. Once the body was complete, Wang Yun disregarded whether Yao Wangui's soul was willing or not, and with a wave of his hand, forcibly stuffed that soul into the new body.
