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

As this voice appeared, Xiao Yan, who was still thinking about how to help Yan Jin, felt his heart sink to the bottom.

It was the master of the Void Devouring Flame. Xiao Yan hadn't expected this nine-star Dou Sheng to follow him and Qing Lin so closely. The slight relief he had just felt upon escaping vanished completely. Xiao Yan could only send a telepathic message to Qing Lin, urging her to increase their speed. He needed to unleash all the energy he had absorbed from the hurricane. The advantage of this was increased speed, but the energy consumption would also increase significantly.

Xiao Yan's mind was racing. He was thinking of a feasible way to escape. Even though the situation was extremely bad, Xiao Yan absolutely did not want to give up and wait for death. He was just thinking about whether he could find a glimmer of hope in this near-desperate situation.

"We absolutely cannot go to Guiyuan Prefecture now. Bringing this guy there would cause who knows how much chaos it would create."

Qinglin nodded knowingly, then immediately asked, "What about the Thunder Clan?"

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, then immediately shook his head: "They only have five people here, so the three clans might not be feigning an attack. If we go there, the variables will increase, and it might make the situation worse."

If the news from the Thunder Clan is accurate, then they are very likely indeed under attack by the combined forces of the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan. The situation there is far from peaceful, and they may even be facing a dire crisis. Without sufficient support on his side, it's uncertain whether the Thunder Clan and the Medicine Clan's ancestors would even be willing to help him at that point. Xiao Yan is unwilling to risk that possibility.

"Our only hope now is to return to the Northwest Region immediately!"

Just as Xiao Yan finished speaking, one after another, black flames appeared like ghosts. The areas swept by these black flames created extremely powerful vortexes, which then dispersed, blocking Xiao Yan and Qing Lin's path.

Xiao Yan, relying on the Void Devouring Flame within his body, had some vague senses. The moment it attacked, he forcibly pulled Qing Lin left and right to dodge, thus avoiding being hit.

"Interesting, very interesting. She's definitely someone I've set my sights on!"

The next moment, Xiao Yan and Qing Lin witnessed the master of the Void Devouring Flame appear directly in front of their path. Using his ability to tear through the void and his powerful soul force, the man who wielded the Void Devouring Flame found Qing Lin and Xiao Yan as they fled.

Without any hesitation, Xiao Yan continued to flee to the side with Qing Lin, not daring to slow down at all. This was a nine-star Dou Sheng; no matter how many tricks they had up their sleeves, they would absolutely find it difficult to overcome the enormous gap in strength.

"The only good news is that with this guy coming with us, the pressure on Elder Jin will be much less."

The strongest nine-star Dou Sheng is currently hunting down Xiao Yan and Qing Lin, leaving only four eight-star Dou Sheng to deal with Yan Jin. Although the situation is still extremely troublesome, at least Yan Jin has a chance to survive.

"Young Master, are we still going to the Northwest Region?"

"We must go there; only there can we have a chance of survival!"

Right now, the only one on Xiao Yan's side who can truly stop this Nine-Star Dou Sheng is the Void Emperor from the Northwest Region.

According to Mu Yaoyin, Canaan Academy has a method for Xiao Yan to defeat the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan, but the specific time was not given, and Xiao Yan was required to bring Zi Yan with him.

Now, not only is Zi Yan not by his side, but he is also being chased like this. No matter how you look at it, this is not the good opportunity that Mu Yaoyin predicted.

"It's no use. Do you really think you can escape?"

Just as Xiao Yan had a thought forming, the Void Devouring Flame reappeared, this time in a different direction, to the left of Xiao Yan and Qing Lin.

This person employs both psychological tactics and manipulative methods simultaneously, making them extremely troublesome and difficult to deal with.

This relentless offensive effectively blocked Xiao Yan and his companion's escape route. A decisive glint flashed in Qing Lin's eyes, and her Seven-Star Dou Sheng aura erupted, fully unleashing the Dou Qi formed from the medicinal power within her body. Her usual sharp blade appeared in her hand, and a icy blade of light pierced the air, directly confronting the Void Devouring Flame!

The speed of this strike was incredibly swift; even the flying Void Devouring Flame was slowed down by the icy blade's edge. In that mere fraction of a second, Qing Lin and Xiao Yan moved with lightning speed, directly dodging the Void Devouring Flame and continuing their rapid journey into the distance.

The long-prepared attack missed again, and a genuine look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the master of the Void Devouring Flame.

He sensed that Xiao Yan and Qing Lin's movements were too fast, completely inconsistent with their own strength.

"There's been an unexpected little incident. Well, I'll patiently see how far you two little mice can escape."

At this moment, he wasn't in a hurry at all. Xiao Yan and Qing Lin were already his for the taking. In fact, the stronger the power that Xiao Yan and Qing Lin unleashed during this process, the more satisfied he became. He secretly hoped that Xiao Yan would bring him something more.

After two sudden attacks, Xiao Yan and Qing Lin knew that relying solely on the wind energy within their bodies wouldn't be enough. Qing Lin possessed a special movement technique taught by Ming Mei, while Xiao Yan had completed his dragon transformation, which also brought forth the wings of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, granting him increased speed. Xiao Yan and Qing Lin spared no effort in unleashing their battle qi, fleeing with all their might. Their increased speed finally allowed them to maintain control, preventing the pursuing nine-star Dou Sheng from gaining the upper hand.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan's three thousand lightning phantom bodies remained inside the Heavenly Tomb, having already relayed all the current information to Xiao Xuan. The two of them were currently still in the Central Plains, the distance from the Northwest Region of the continent almost immeasurable. While Xiao Yan's idea was good, how to reach the Northwest Region remained a major problem.

Now Xiao Yan can only use whatever power he can obtain, so his ancestor Xiao Xuan is naturally the first person he needs to consult.

"So that's how it is. It seems they really have their eyes on you."

Xiao Xuan had witnessed countless events on the continent, but upon hearing the information from Xiao Yan, his expression still showed a clear change.

Firstly, Xiao Yan is his true chosen successor and the only hope of the Xiao clan. If something happens to him, it would be equivalent to the complete demise of the Xiao clan, which has just begun to have hope.

Secondly, Xiao Yan is indeed facing an urgent situation. His opponent is a nine-star Dou Sheng who possesses the Void Devouring Flame. It is already quite remarkable that Xiao Yan has not been captured yet after being caught by such a person.

"How much longer can you hold on?"

The fact that Xiao Yan was able to communicate with Xiao Xuan using his Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body indicates that he still had some strength left when facing pursuit, preventing him from immediately falling into enemy hands.

Xiao Yan immediately replied, "I obtained the Hurricane Qi at the trade fair, which can greatly increase my speed. I'm still trying to get to the Northwest Region. I can't say exactly how long I can keep going, but I shouldn't run into any problems within half a day. Also, I have a feeling that the person chasing me isn't in a huge hurry."
