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

Xiao Yan smiled slightly upon hearing this, then looked at the jade bottle in his palm. Xun'er had already moved closer to Xiao Yan.

"Brother Xiao Yan, how's the effect?"

"Quite impressive. This power is truly remarkable, greatly increasing my speed without consuming any of my battle qi. Otherwise, chasing down a six-star Dou Sheng Heavenly Demon Phoenix who was determined to escape would have been quite troublesome."

The reason Xiao Yan was able to catch up with and kill Huang Tian and the other two powerful figures from Guiyuan Mansion was because he tried using the Hurricane Qi he obtained during the trade fair for the first time. Originally, Xiao Yan was just trying it out, but the final effect far exceeded his expectations. The ability to fly at unimaginable speed without consuming any Dou Qi gave Xiao Yan the exhilarating feeling of being able to take flight after just advancing to Dou Huang.

"What about the remaining person? Should we still chase after them?"

Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "Huang Tian gave him some power, and at the cost of self-destruction, many people will probably notice this place now. We'd better leave first!"

"They only managed to escape with one half-saint. When the time comes, my sister-in-law will wipe out the rest of the Heavenly Demon Phoenixes in one fell swoop!" Because of Zi Yan, Lei Jingxiao naturally harbored strong hostility towards the Heavenly Demon Phoenixes.

"Alright, let's go back first!"

……

"Alright, let's go right away!"

"Young clan leader, is there really a need to be in such a hurry?"

After returning to the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, Jiu Feng barely rested before using her status as the young clan leader to gather all the important figures of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. She then clearly and explicitly pointed out that they should activate the retreat route that Huang Tian had secretly prepared beforehand and prepare to leave Zhongzhou without stopping for a moment!

"I'll say it one last time, leave now!" Jiu Feng's eyes were bloodshot, and her pupils were filled with the ferocity of a peak-level magical beast.

However, his ferocity was less a deterrent to the Heavenly Phoenix Clan members before him and more a way to mask the fear in his heart.

"Young clan leader, based solely on your message, you claim that the clan leader and all the other Dou Sheng powerhouses..."

puff-

Right before these important figures of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, the former young patriarch, Jiu Feng, made an extremely reckless move. He used his own power to smash the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan elder who had repeatedly questioned him. Without a trace of mercy, without any restraint, he simply killed him.

As fellow members of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, they were naturally aware of their own situation; the elder before them was indeed dead!

The doubts and wavering in their hearts were completely shattered by Jiu Feng's simple and brutal actions.

Jiu Feng's actions just now proved two things to them: First, he had successfully advanced from a half-saint level expert to a Dou Sheng, otherwise he would never have been able to kill a peak Dou Zun elder of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix so easily. Second, Jiu Feng truly didn't care about killing; he was completely willing to take action even against the older generation of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix.

With these two pieces of evidence, what Jiufeng said can only be the truth!

"Now, I will repeat the order one last time: Retreat immediately! Escape from Central Continent as quickly as possible, following the route arranged by Clan Chief Huang Tian!"

"Secondly, the Northern Dragon King has already died in battle, and those ancient Void Dragons we were raising have been completely wiped out by the grand formation. We can no longer afford to raise them. Apart from those we are certain we can control, we should just devour the rest to increase our strength, as previously planned!"

"Thirdly, from this day forward, I will be the new patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan!"

"Let's act now! There's only one principle: speed is crucial!"

Because of the previous incident, even though those present were still surprised, they didn't dare to object for the time being. They began to act according to Jiu Feng's arrangements, and at least openly, no one dared to disobey Jiu Feng's wishes.

After everyone left, Jiufeng's cold expression softened slightly, and he took out his storage ring and gently stroked it.

"Guiyuan Prefecture, Xiao Yan, just wait! My Heavenly Phoenix Clan will one day rise again!"

……

Xiao Yan and his group successfully returned to the Guiyuan Prefecture headquarters. They obtained the Xuanhuang Flame, ranked twenty-third on the Strange Flame Ranking, from the Lei Clan, Yao Clan, and Shi Clan, along with two portions of Void Thunder Pool power. Xiao Yan and Yao Lao also refined a ninth-grade Xuan Pill, and the other two alchemists from Guiyuan Prefecture also gained valuable items. Furthermore, Lei Jingxiao and Wei Jiangyuan have decided to join Guiyuan Prefecture on their behalf, further increasing their numbers. They can truly be considered to have returned with a full harvest.

Before leaving the Medicine Clan, they had already made an agreement: if the Medicine Clan, Stone Clan, or Thunder Clan needed to revive someone, they would need to prepare the necessary materials in advance and rush to Guiyuan Mansion, which would make things more convenient for them.

After returning to Guiyuan Mansion, Xiao Yan had just recounted his experience to Little Fairy Doctor and was preparing to mobilize the core forces of Guiyuan Mansion to focus on annihilating the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan when he received another message that immediately made him nervous.

This news came from an important figure in the ancient tribe whose identity had not been revealed.

The information was also very simple: the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan were making large-scale movements again, and they might continue to target the remaining families of the Dou Di descendants.

Upon receiving this news, Xiao Yan had no choice but to convene the core members of Guiyuan Mansion once again, including Qing Lin, who was originally in seclusion.

"It's truly unsettling. We've only had a three-year period of peace, and they're already preparing to make their move again."

Yan Jin, who had just finished his seclusion, was not surprised to hear the news: "It's just that Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi are still recovering from their injuries, and their strongest combat force is not strong enough to support them. Otherwise, this time would probably be once a year."

Xun'er added, "During our trip to the Thunder Clan, we also obtained some important information. During the last raid on the Stone Clan, the allied forces of the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan didn't seem particularly aggressive, appearing quite worried about losses. The entire raid wasn't intense, which allowed nearly half of the Stone Clan's powerful warriors to escape successfully."

"The Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan may not necessarily be of one mind. They have been enemies for so many years. While they are dealing with us, they are definitely also on guard against each other. This is something we must take advantage of," Yao Lao analyzed and judged based on the situation.

"The main problem is the vast difference in strength. Even if they each harbor ulterior motives, once they attack together, they are destined to be crushed. I just wonder what they're planning to do this time?"

"Based on previous experience, what they care about most is the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade. I predict that this time they will most likely still be after the ancient jade, which is to attack one of the Medicine Clan or the Thunder Clan."
