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

Afterwards, Xiao Yan discussed the details of the resurrection with the three of them. Because Xiao Yan generously stated that the Lei Clan and the Medicine Clan would fulfill any needs they had in the future, the overall atmosphere was very harmonious.

After reaching an agreement, Xiao Yan and Xun'er prepared to leave, and told the three of them that the group would be returning to Guiyuan Mansion.

During this time, Lei Ying reciprocated by returning the two Bodhi seeds to Xiao Yan, his attitude quite firm. Xiao Yan could tell that he was sincere, so he put the Bodhi seeds away. Now it seems that although Lei Miao of the Lei Clan made things difficult for Xiao Yan, at least not all of the Lei Clan's high-ranking members thought that way.

All things considered, they gained quite a bit from this trip. Helping the Stone Clan or the other two clans revive their souls would be a win-win situation. Since everyone is going to fight against the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan together, making their allies stronger wouldn't be a bad thing for Guiyuan Mansion. Ultimately, Xiao Yan was considering the bigger picture.

After Xiao Yan and Xun'er left, Lei Ying returned to the Lei Clan and found Lei Qingyue, the person he trusted most, to discuss the day's events.

After listening, Lei Qingyue took the initiative to analyze and said, "It seems that Xiao Yan can indeed be considered a person who considers the overall situation."

Lei Ying nodded in agreement: "That's right, his asking price is quite low."

Having such a resurrection ability in hand is definitely a rare and valuable asset. As they clash with the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan in the future, the casualties will be considerable. This time, Xiao Yan hardly relied on this ability to exert pressure on these three clans.

The connection to the Lei Clan's previously inappropriate behavior clearly indicates that the Guiyuan Mansion, led by Xiao Yan, is further strengthening its alliance against the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan.

"To be honest, when I first heard this request, I thought you would refuse."

Lei Ying understood that Lei Qingyue was referring to the last condition Xiao Yan had mentioned. He pursed his lips tightly and shook his head.

"His request was very reasonable, and I had no reason to refuse."

Upon hearing this, Lei Qingyue fell silent once again. He could sense that Lei Ying was willing to agree to these things because he still had feelings for Lei Jingxiao and truly felt guilty towards his son, which was why he was willing to make such concessions.

"Give two of those five portions of Void Lightning to Xiao Yan and the others!"

"Is this necessary?" Lei Qingyue frowned slightly.

The Lei Clan went to great lengths to orchestrate this succession battle, having Yao Dan, the patriarch of the Yao Clan, refine a ninth-grade Xuan Dan and participate in the trade fair. Their ultimate goal was singular: to help Lei Ying, the patriarch of the Lei Clan, break through to the nine-star Dou Sheng realm. At this crucial moment, the combat power of a nine-star Dou Sheng was extremely important. Lei Ying's strength had already reached the peak of the eight-star Dou Sheng realm, making him the most likely candidate to achieve this breakthrough.

The Lei Clan urgently retrieved the vast amounts of Void Thunder Power they had deliberately cultivated over the years, and with the help of a Grade Nine Profound Pill, they attempted to combine the two to help Lei Ying cross this realm.

Five portions of the Void Thunder Power were obtained in total. According to the original design, Lei Ying, as the clan leader, would receive three portions, Lei Qingyue, as the second strongest member of the clan, would receive one portion, and the winner of the succession battle would receive the last portion.

Now Lei Ying has to divide two of the five shares, and what he will lose is naturally the share he was originally entitled to and the share of the heir.

"I'm not doing this for Xiao Yan, nor for Jing Xiao, but for the stability of my own mindset."

The threshold of Nine-Star Dou Sheng is extremely difficult for Lei Ying as he has been trapped here for hundreds of years. Breaking through now is also accompanied by considerable risks.

According to him, he wanted to make up for all the debt he owed his son, so that he could have a better chance of success with a balanced mindset.

Lei Qingyue accepted this reason and nodded: "Okay, I'll take care of this."

After Lei Qingyue left, Lei Ying stood there blankly for a long time, his heart filled with complex emotions. When he made that decision, he himself was unsure whether it was because of his debt to Lei Jingxiao, or because he thought of his deceased mother, or perhaps it was simply to have a more peaceful mindset when he attempted to break through to the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm.

……

"It seems a bit too hasty for these friends to leave with such valuable treasures."

Upon hearing this sudden sound, the members of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, who were originally preparing to return to their clan through the spatial passage, immediately stopped. Their already somewhat worried expressions became even more solemn at this moment.

The young man leading the group, Jiu Feng, muttered resentfully, "We've been so careful, but we still got targeted!"

The remains of the Heavenly Phoenix, which they had acquired at great expense during the trade fair, were currently in his storage ring. They all knew very well that the remains of this Heavenly Phoenix were extremely important, even possessing the power to influence the future fate of their entire clan. However, if they were unable to return the remains to their clan and were intercepted and killed here, then all their hopes would be in vain.

The Dou Sheng-level figure at the head of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan's group controlled his emotions, stepped forward, looked around, and said, "I didn't expect the Medicine Clan to be so fame-seeking. The trade fair's rules for thousands of years have stipulated that the whereabouts of participants must never be exposed. Now they've openly leaked it; truly, the world is going to the dogs!"

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan had actually been quite cautious. After acquiring their desired items at the trade fair, to ensure their safety, they didn't choose to leave the Medicine Clan immediately. Instead, they deliberately lingered for a day, hoping to avoid the initial storm.

Unexpectedly, they were eventually spotted halfway to the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.

Although the opponent has not yet shown himself, the Dou Sheng expert of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan has already confirmed it through his telepathic communication: this unpredictable person blocking the way must be someone who participated in the Medicine Clan's trade fair, otherwise how could they know that they possess such a treasure?

As he finished speaking, several figures appeared: Xiao Yan, Xun'er, Zi Yan, Yao Lao, Lin Lao, Lei Jingxiao, and Wei Jiangyuan.

Seeing his opponents' increasingly grim expressions, Wei Jiangyuan spoke up, "Please don't misunderstand, everyone. The Medicine Clan truly did not expose your whereabouts. It was I who used these methods!"

"Those few high-grade Flame Sunflowers were specially delivered to you by me. How about that? That was quite a sacrifice, wasn't it?"

After Wei Jiangyuan's explanation, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan members immediately understood what was going on. The Flowing Flame Sunflower was extremely rare, even in the entire Central Continent. Moreover, their purchase process wasn't just a simple transaction; someone requested the Flowing Flame Sunflower, and then others offered it to them during the trade fair.

After seeing the successful transaction, Tian Yaohuang took the initiative to find the person who provided the Flowing Flame Sunflower, thinking that since they had nothing to do with the transaction originally, it shouldn't be a problem for them to ask for help.

Unexpectedly, all of this was a scheme orchestrated by the enemy, and they were tricked into taking the bait willingly.
