Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 113 Return to Jiama

After looting all of the Earth Demon Old Ghost's possessions, Xiao Li even took the Ink Steel Stone. The group then left the Demon Flame Valley. The Earth Demon Old Ghost had been operating here for many years, so he naturally had many powerful subordinates.

The three elders of Demon Flame Valley are all Dou Huang 'strongmen', with the eldest elder Fang Yan as the leader. Fang Yan is an eight-star Dou Huang, second only to the Earth Demon Old Ghost in Demon Flame Valley, and he is also the Earth Demon Old Ghost's confidant.

"Elder, what should we do next?" asked the Second Elder of Demon Flame Valley.

"I am no longer the Grand Elder. The Valley Master is gone, and Demon Flame Valley is gone. Although we are not weak, it would not be a problem for us to start a new sect."

However, we will inevitably encounter dangers later on. After all, our Demon Flame Valley has relied entirely on the reputation of our Valley Master since its founding. Now that the Valley Master is gone, figures like Elder Eagle Mountain and Mo Tianxing of the Black Emperor Sect are not to be trifled with.

Fang Yan was also quite troubled at this time. The Valley Master had been killed so inexplicably, and Demon Flame Valley was finished.

"Big brother, what should we do?" the Third Elder asked.

Fang Yan pondered, "Let's go to Maple City and join the ranks of Medicine Emperor Han Feng. He is said to be a disciple of the renowned Medicine Venerable of the continent, and he himself is a sixth-grade alchemist."

He has only recently entered the Black Corner Region and is in dire need of help. In that case, let's go and offer him timely assistance! He will surely be pleased if we, the strong ones, go to him for help.

"Besides, we were all from Demon Flame Valley, we know each other, so even if Han Feng wanted to harm us, he would have to think twice."

The other elders also exclaimed in amazement upon hearing the dialect spoken in this way.

"As expected of our eldest brother! Truly brilliant! Even though we don't get along with Han Feng, he wouldn't dare do anything to us!"

The remnants of Demon Flame Valley headed towards Maple City. No one knows how Demon Flame Valley, this behemoth in the Black Corner Region, disappeared. Maple City in the Black Corner Region received an epic upgrade.

. . . . . .

The border between the Gama Empire and the Black Corner Region.

"Li'er, let's part ways here. I need to go to the volcanic cluster where I underwent Nirvana to break through to the Dou Zun level, which may take a long time. You should stay at the Xiao family during this time."

"Once I break through to the Dou Zun level, we'll venture into the Central Continent," Wang Ming said.

"Okay, then I'll head back to the Xiao family first. It's been several years since I left home, so it's time to go back and visit," Xiao Li nodded.

"Li'er, Grandpa won't be going back for now. Your teacher needs someone to protect him during his seclusion. Since your cultivation level is now higher than Grandpa's, Grandpa will go and protect your teacher instead."

Xiao Ting then told Xiao Li that he was going to protect Wang Ming.

Upon hearing Xiao Ting's words, Yun Shan also spoke up, "I will also go and protect Old Man Wang. The strongest in the Jia Ma Empire is Jia Xingtian. With these two behind you, I'm afraid we can sweep across the Northwest Continent."

"This old fellow will go and protect Old Man Wang. Hai Bodong, what about you?"

Hai Bodong did want to go and protect Wang Ming, because once Wang Ming really broke through to the Dou Zun level, he would definitely reap the benefits. However, he also needed to go back and check on the Mittel family, and teach a certain old guy a lesson!

Hai Bodong: "I'm not going. I've been away from the Mittel family for many years. The younger generation in the family must be in a complete mess. I'll go back to the family to take a look and teach some old geezer a lesson."

Old Wang, thank you for saving me from this sea of ​​suffering, but I can't protect you this time.

Hai Bodong clasped his hands in a fist salute to Wang Ming, who waved his hand and said, "It's alright, it's alright. I never realized you, Hai Bodong, were so loyal. You're usually so cold and aloof, like you're not someone to be trifled with."

"It would have been good to befriend you sooner, although it's not too late now. Go, go see the family. The family is the key. I have Old Xiao and Old Man Yun protecting me, that's enough."

"Um."

The group then dispersed, with Hai Bodong, Xiao Li, Zi Yan, Pei Yuhan, and Pei Yurou flying towards the location of the capital of Jia Ma.

Wang Ming, Yun Shan, and Xiao Ting flew towards the Tagor Desert.

. . . . . .

Several days later, the Xiao family in the capital

Standing at the gate of the Xiao family home, Xiao Li looked at the familiar gate and was filled with emotion. Home was still the most comforting place for him.

Xiao Li then led his men into the Xiao family compound and headed directly towards the main hall. However, Xiao Li suddenly noticed that the atmosphere in the Xiao family compound was a bit off; to put it another way, it was somewhat gloomy.

"What happened?"

Xiao Li arrived at the main hall in an instant, only to find that his elder brother Xiao Lin was not there.

"Young Master?" A weak voice came, and a young man dressed in a steward's brocade robe suddenly walked over from beside the desk.

"Ah Long? What happened? You've been injured? Who injured you! Jia Xingtian? Or someone else?"

Xiao Li quickly discovered that Xia Yilong had been beaten and had some injuries.

"Ahem, I'm fine. Go check on the patriarch. He's been injured. I don't recognize those people, but the patriarch seems to know something about it."

Since the patriarch had only recently broken through to the Dou Huang realm, those people said they wanted to see the current strength of the Xiao clan. One of them couldn't defeat the patriarch, so the rest swarmed and attacked him. I couldn't stand by and watch, so I went to help, but I was injured in the process. The patriarch was seriously injured.

Xia Yilong told Xiao Li what had happened.

Xiao Li frowned: "Who are those people?"

Xia Yilong shook his head: "I don't know. These guys are arrogant and say they need to discuss important matters with the patriarch. The patriarch might know something. Young master, you should go and check on the patriarch. His injuries are very serious."

Xiao Li nodded: "I understand, Ah Long, thank you for your hard work. This bottle contains recovery pills. Use them to heal your injuries. Take good care of yourself for the next month and don't worry about things at home. Now that I'm back, you can leave everything to me."

"Yes, thank you, young master." Xia Yilong took the jade bottle and bowed to Xiao Li, but Xiao Li pulled him up.

Xiao Li patted Xia Yilong's shoulder and injected a wisp of Yang Fire into Xia Yilong's body. The Yang Fire could help Xia Yilong recover: "Rest well."

Xiao Li then headed towards Xiao Lin's residence.

Xiao Lin's residence

At this moment, outside Xiao Lin's residence stood a composed young man who looked to be about the same age as Xiao Li, except that this young man had grown a beard and looked more mature than Xiao Li.

"Uncle! You've arrived!"

"Xiao Zhan!" Xiao Li nodded. The young man in front of him was his good nephew, Xiao Zhan.

"How is Big Brother?" Xiao Li asked.

Xiao Zhan clenched his fist: "Father's injuries have stabilized, and we've also had Vice President Fa Ma come to see him. Father's future cultivation path has essentially been ruined; those people were too ruthless!"

Xiao Lin's heart sank. He then opened the door and went inside. A beautiful woman who looked to be in her thirties was tidying up the house, while Xiao Lin was sitting on the bed.

Xiao Li noticed that Xiao Lin had lost a lot of weight and looked more than twenty years older.

"Big brother!" Xiao Li came to Xiao Lin's bedside and injected a wisp of yang fire into Xiao Lin's body.

"Little brother? You're back!" Xiao Lin's weak voice came; he hadn't expected Xiao Li to return.

"Xiao Li?!" The beautiful woman standing to the side was also surprised to see Xiao Li return.

As the yang fire was infused, Xiao Lin's complexion gradually became rosy.

"Brother, swallow this Life-Returning Pill. This pill, combined with my Yang Fire, will be enough to heal your injuries."

Xiao Li stuffed a bright green pill into Xiao Lin's mouth, and then used Yang Fire to help Xiao Lin refine the medicinal power of the Life-Returning Pill.
