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

"Actually, I'm not quite sure what exactly I'm supposed to do. Pavilion Master Muwei usually just asks me to answer some questions for him, and these questions are all about the Soul Clan."

Lianhua glanced at Xiao Yan, the most legendary figure in Guiyuan Mansion. He seemed very worried that he hadn't done well enough and would leave a bad impression on Xiao Yan, so he hurriedly added a sentence.

"This disciple will naturally speak frankly and without reservation."

After understanding the situation, Xiao Yan nodded, patted Lianhua on the shoulder, offered a few words of encouragement, and then headed straight for the core of the Yuanfu Pavilion.

Here, Xiao Yan also met Mu Wei, a key figure of the Yuanfu Pavilion, and next to him was Jiao Xian, a resurrected Dou Sheng. The two were somewhat surprised to see Xiao Yan appear.

"Greetings, Master!"

"Greetings, little master!"

Xiao Yan simply waved his hand, indicating that the two did not need to be so polite.

"Is Senior Jiao Xian satisfied with his stay in Guiyuan Prefecture?"

Jiao Xuan nodded without hesitation: "Thank you for your concern, young master. These past few days have been wonderful. Being able to cooperate with a genius like Pavilion Master Mu Wei in the art of formations has truly swept away the gloom that has weighed on my heart for many years!"

Mu Wei humbly replied, "Mr. Jiao Xian's understanding of array formations is extremely valuable, allowing me to continuously improve upon my existing foundation. I am confident that I can further enhance the defensive capabilities of Guiyuan Mansion's grand array within a year!"

Hearing this promise, a clear look of joy appeared in Xiao Yan's eyes. The Guiyuan Realm was now Xiao Yan's absolute stronghold, where all his forces were concentrated. Although the improved version of the Spirit Clan's protective array was constantly guarding it, Xiao Yan and his group had already exploited a loophole in the array. In truth, Xiao Yan was still somewhat worried about its security. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to give the Northern Dragon King Battle Puppet to Little Fairy Doctor; it was all for safety.

Now that Mu Wei has enhanced the protective capabilities of the Guiyuan Realm's array, Xiao Yan can naturally feel more at ease.

"Please feel free to make any requests you may have, and the government will naturally allocate resources accordingly!"

"The Lord of the Manor need not worry about this. The Little Fairy Doctor has already treated the Yuanfu Pavilion with exceptional favor. If she were to give it any more special treatment, it would probably be detrimental to the unity within the Manor."

Because there are few talented people in the field of array formations, and because Mu Wei has been proven to be absolutely loyal to Xiao Yan, Little Fairy Doctor truly gives Yuanfu Pavilion special respect.

Of course, Yuanfu Pavilion also maintained a relatively low profile, showing no particular emotion due to the favoritism within the manor. In this respect, Mu Wei, having experienced the Tianluan Clan before, was adept at striking the right balance.

After explaining the most important points, Xiao Yan inquired about what had just happened: "I heard you two have been busy with matters concerning the Soul Clan lately?"

Upon hearing this question, Mu Wei's eyes lit up, and his entire demeanor became more energetic: "I originally intended to report this matter to Master after I had a definite conclusion, but I didn't expect you to already know. So, there's no better time than now."

Mu Wei paused slightly, then continued, "Through our research, Mr. Jiao Xian and I discovered some remarkable information that is related to the Soul Hall, or rather, to the souls the Soul Hall has been collecting for so many years..."

Just as Xiao Yan had become interested in seeing what extraordinary thing Mu Wei had discovered, a clear buzzing sound resounded throughout Guiyuan Mansion.

hum-

One sound followed immediately by a second, and then a third.

hum-

hum-

Upon hearing this noise, Xiao Yan's body stiffened instinctively, and he couldn't continue listening to Mu Wei recount his discovery.

His figure vanished from the spot in an instant. Mu Wei and Jiao Xian exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

This resounding voice that echoed throughout the Guiyuan Realm was the highest-level order from Guiyuan Prefecture: all pavilion masters and Dou Sheng elders of the Nine Pavilions must immediately cease all their affairs and assemble at the Star Pavilion of Guiyuan Prefecture!

Since the Guiyuan Mansion was fully formed, this order has never been given before. The fact that it has been issued now is definitely because a major event that will affect the entire Guiyuan Mansion has occurred. That is why Xiao Yan, Mu Wei, and Jiao Xian were so anxious at the first moment.

This day marked the twelfth month since Xiao Yan and his companions received the secret intelligence from the ancient clans, and the Central Continent was once again plunged into a state of turmoil.

The alliance of the three great Dou Di descendant families—the Thunder Clan, the Medicine Clan, and the Stone Clan—sent another message to Guiyuan Prefecture, reporting that they were under siege by the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan!

Because the news was so serious, Little Fairy Doctor didn't even explain it to Xiao Yan separately. Instead, she directly used the highest order of Guiyuan Mansion to summon all the combat power above Dou Sheng in Guiyuan Mansion!

Fortunately, having already learned of the ancient clan's inside information, Guiyuan Prefecture was prepared. Therefore, the process was swift, and the rescue plan for the alliance of the Thunder Clan, Medicine Clan, and Stone Clan was quickly approved. Everyone understands the principle of mutual dependence; in the fight against the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan, the three-clan alliance is equally important to them, and Guiyuan Prefecture absolutely cannot stand by and watch them perish.

Throughout this process, Little Fairy Doctor remained remarkably calm and demonstrated a strong ability to control the entire Guiyuan Mansion.

"So here's the plan: Elder Yan Jin, Elder Qing Lin, and Lord Xiao Yan will form the first support team and set off immediately to rescue the Lei Clan, the Yao Clan, and the Shi Clan."

"Then nearly half of the Dou Sheng powerhouses will be separated, led by Elder Zi Yan and the Dan Tower Ancestor, to serve as the second wave of support."

"The remaining half of the Dou Sheng experts, led by Yao Lao, will remain at Guiyuan Mansion to guard against any potential surprise attacks from the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan!"

This plan was prepared in advance; it can be seen as both an emergency measure and a way to deal with a protracted tug-of-war.

Although the first wave of reinforcements consisted of only three people, they were extremely strong and capable of handling the complex situation.

Yan Jin is undoubtedly the strongest person in the entire Guiyuan Prefecture, a genuine nine-star Dou Sheng. Qing Lin is the second strongest force in Guiyuan Prefecture. He has already reached the cultivation of a six-star Dou Sheng, and also possesses puppets belonging to the Nine Netherworld Python clan, as well as numerous Seven-Colored Devouring Pythons and Soul Puppets. He can unleash the power of several Dou Shengs by himself.

Xiao Yan himself possesses formidable combat power, capable of holding his own against a four-star Dou Sheng expert for a short period. He also wields a battle puppet comparable to a six-star Dou Sheng. Although there are only three of them, all are top-tier fighters, capable of providing sufficient support to the Lei Clan, Yao Clan, and Shi Clan immediately.
