Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, who was kidnapped to another world

"The successor of the Taotie Sect is Song Zhen of the Heavenly Demon Dynasty, one of the ten super dynasties."

Ye Wuqing had no objection to being interrupted and quickly stated the name of the first inheritor and the dynasty he belonged to.

"Ten super dynasties?" Xiao Yan clicked his tongue slightly. "This is a bit troublesome..."

In the Eastern Xuan Domain, dynasties are as numerous as stars in the sky. These dynasties are naturally divided into different levels. Super dynasties are the overlords among all dynasties. Among the super dynasties, there are ten dynasties that stand out. These are the ten super dynasties that Ye Wuqing mentioned.

The so-called Heavenly Demon Dynasty is one of them. Incidentally, the Heavenly Yuan Dynasty is also one of the ten super dynasties, and it has always been the strongest one.

"Indeed, it's a bit troublesome," Lin Dong said with some helplessness.

Behind every one of the ten super dynasties must be a super sect. If their forces are completely defeated, it will undoubtedly attract the attention of the powerful figures of the super sects. For ordinary people, such attention is naturally a good thing, but for Xiao Yan and Lin Dong, such attention is of no benefit. If possible, the two of them would like to stay away from those ten super dynasties.

"How strong is the Heavenly Demon Dynasty?" After slightly lamenting that he attracted attention wherever he went, Xiao Yan continued to ask.

"Very strong... The Heavenly Demon Dynasty is known for having three demons: the eldest, Song Zhen; the second, Song Que; and the third, Song Ba. All of them are powerful individuals who have reached the Fifth Element Nirvana Realm, and they also have some quite strong subordinates." Ye Wuqing pursed his lips, his voice carrying a hint of apprehension. Although both were super dynasties, the Heavenly Demon Dynasty's strength was far beyond that of the Great Qian Dynasty.

"Three Fifth-Element Nirvana Realm cultivators?" Xiao Yan blinked and looked at Little Marten. "Can you make a move?"

On the surface, the question was "Can you make a move?", but everyone in the Great Yan Dynasty knew that Xiao Yan was asking "Can you defeat one of them without revealing your identity?"

“A short rest will do,” Little Mink smiled. “If the requirement is to stall, we can do it now.”

They were all people with some grudges against the super sects of the Eastern Xuan Region. Xiao Diao didn't want to be targeted by those people before the Hundred Dynasties War was over, so he had no objection to Xiao Yan's suggestion not to overexpose his strength.

"Let's talk about the others," Xiao Yan nodded and looked at Ye Wuqing. "It's impossible that the remaining three were also obtained by people from the ten super dynasties, right?"

"The Zhu Yan Sect's legacy is in the hands of Xiao Shan of the Great Luo Dynasty. Xiao Shan is the strongest in the Great Luo Dynasty. He once survived the fifth Nirvana Tribulation. Although he failed in the end, his strength is still unmatched among the Four Elements Nirvana Realm cultivators." At this point, Ye Wuqing glanced at Qingchuan and added, "However, he is no match for the boss."

"Oh, just a small fry, next." Xiao Yan understood immediately and nodded nonchalantly.

"People who failed to reach the fifth Nirvana Tribulation? When you encounter them, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yuan, do you want to try fighting them?" Lin Dong turned around and asked Xiao Yan and Xiao Yuan behind him.

"We can give it a try." Xiao Yuan nodded.

"Okay!" Xiao Yan said in a deep voice.

For the two who were only at the "ordinary" Third Nirvana Realm, Xiaoshan was the best touchstone.

Next, Ye Wuqing named the people who had inherited the Taotie Sect and Qiongqi Sect. However, the dynasties these two belonged to were not even comparable to the Tianmo Dynasty or the Daluo Dynasty, let alone the Daqian Dynasty. Once the news of Xiao Yan and his companions defeating the four generals of the Daqian Dynasty spread, as long as they were of sound mind, they would not come looking for trouble for Xiao Yan and his companions.

After obtaining the necessary intelligence, Xiao Yan and his group of five left the Ancient Palace immediately. After all, the Hundred Dynasties War was less than a month away, and they needed to enter the core area of ​​the Ancient Battlefield as soon as possible.

As for Tian Zhen, who attracted the attention of the Great Qian Dynasty...

Even Lin Dong, who was most murderous, had no intention of killing people who lived like dogs. After all, anyone would feel that killing such people would dirty their hands.

On the route from the Northwest region to the core of the ancient battlefield, there is a city called Wanxiang City. It is one of the few cities in the ancient battlefield that must be passed through to reach the core area. Most of the powerful figures from all sides of the ancient battlefield will rest in Wanxiang City before continuing their journey. Similarly, this city is also a must-pass place for Xiao Yan and his group of five to enter the core area.

In a mountain range some distance from Wanxiang City, a campfire crackled, and five figures sat quietly cross-legged beside it, their faces calm, showing no sign of panic despite the roars of monsters echoing through the night.

These five figures were none other than Lin Dong and his companions, who had been traveling non-stop from the Northwest region to Wanxiang City. The distance between the Northwest region and Wanxiang City was quite considerable, and even with their speed pushed to the limit, it still took them nearly five days to arrive.

"We should be able to enter the City of Myriad Phenomena by tomorrow," Lin Dong said with a smile after stretching.

Xiao Yan yawned and said, "It is said that there are people from a super sect guarding Wanxiang City. I wonder which sect sent them."

Inside the Ancient Hall, the group encountered a steward from the Yuan Sect and an elder from the Dao Sect. Although both were at the Life Profound Realm, their spiritual power was too weak, and they couldn't even notice the group hiding in the spatial crevices.

"As long as it's not someone from Fu Valley or the Divine Sect," Little Marten pouted. "Of the eight strongest super sects in the Eastern Xuan Region, only these two specialize in spiritual power. If the people stationed in Myriad Elephant City are their people, they might notice something amiss with this kid's spiritual power." She looked at Lin Dong with a grin.

If we take that Yuanmen steward as the standard, the spiritual power of the people from Fugu and Shenzong who came to this ancient battlefield might be at the Lesser Vehicle level of the Immortal Fu Sect. This is naturally nothing to Xiao Yan, but it is a bit difficult for Lin Dong, who is also at this level.

"Then we can only pray that it's not someone from those two sects..." Before he could finish speaking, Lin Dong frowned slightly, raised his head, and looked towards the forest.

"The strongest is barely at the Third Nirvana Realm," Xiao Yan poked at the campfire. "No need to be too nervous."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong's brows relaxed, and he ignored the commotion in the dense forest.

The campfire crackled, and after a moment, several figures emerged from the darkness.

Three figures emerged. The leader was a burly man, who was also the strongest of the three. The other two were women, one dressed in red and the other a young girl dressed in blue.

Lin Dong glanced at the three of them, his gaze lingering on the girl in blue for a moment before he lowered his eyes, showing little interest.

"Friends, our road was blocked by the beast tide. We saw a campfire and had no choice but to retreat here. We wonder if we could rest here for a while?" The burly-looking man glanced cautiously at Xiao Yan and his companions before clasping his hands in a polite manner.

"No." Little Mink raised his eyes and said calmly, sensing a troublesome aura emanating from these people.

Hearing Xiao Diao's impolite reply, the woman in red behind the man was somewhat annoyed, but due to the lack of numbers, she ultimately said nothing.

Beside the man, the girl in green bit her lip lightly, her dark eyes looking at Xiao Yan and the others with some fear. She said timidly, "Brothers, we won't bother you. We'll just stay here for a while and leave after the beast tide recedes. If... if you're not satisfied, we can give you some Nirvana Pills as compensation."

"My brother was just joking. Please, all three of you, come and sit down."

Before Xiao Diao could finish him off, Lin Dong suddenly raised his head and smiled kindly at the three of them, though his gaze lingered mostly on the girl in blue.

Upon hearing Lin Dong speak, Little Marten fell silent. The three of them were overjoyed and, after a moment's hesitation, walked toward the campfire and sat down somewhat awkwardly around it.

"People from the Qing Dynasty?" Xiao Yan suddenly asked after glancing at the three of them.

“Ah…yes, I am Su Kui, and this is my sister Su Rou.” The burly man paused for a moment, then nodded and said his name and the name of the girl in green in turn, and finally pointed to the woman in red, “This is our companion, Liu Ya.”

"Where's Yan Xiao?" Xiao Yan casually poked at the campfire. "Everyone knows that the person at the top of the sect's wanted list rose to power in the Qing Dynasty. Didn't he act with you?"

Xiao Yan's ability to lie through his teeth drew some attention from Lin Dong and Xiao Diao, who both knew exactly who the so-called "Yan Xiao" was.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Su Kui and the other two looked bitter. After a slight hesitation, Su Kui said, "No, we don't know that Yan Xiao. In the end, our Qing Dynasty is just a victim in Yan Xiao's file. We were simply unlucky."

"Did this luck accompany you into the ancient battlefield?" Xiao Yan glanced at Su Kui with a half-smile, then turned his gaze to Su Rou in front of Su Kui.

"What do you know?" Su Kui's expression shifted for a moment before he asked.

“I have some skill in cultivating spiritual power, and I can clearly sense the immense power hidden within her body,” Xiao Yan said calmly. “Even if she can’t fully mobilize it, this so-called beast tide shouldn’t be able to stop you, right?”

"Do you think we're coming closer because we have ulterior motives?" the woman in red said angrily.

"Otherwise what?" Lin Dong sneered. "I have no interest in your background, but we don't want to be schemed against for no reason."

Although Lin Dong initially saw Qing Tan's figure in Su Rou, his spiritual power level was only at the Lesser Vehicle of Immortal Talisman Master, so he quickly sensed the powerful force hidden within Su Rou's body.

Su Kui frowned, his expression shifting, while Su Rou beside him remained timid, her large eyes slightly reddening; she too had sensed his emotions—

Xiao Yan and the others suspected that she had ulterior motives.

Chapter 267 Nirvana Monument

After a brief standoff, Su Kui finally gave a bitter laugh.

“It’s normal that you all think we have ulterior motives,” Su Kui said helplessly. “As this brother said, my sister has an extremely powerful force within her, but that force does not belong to her… or rather, it does not belong to her for the time being.”

Upon hearing this, both Xiao Yan and Lin Dong frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

But then Little Marten suddenly seemed to realize something, a strange expression flashing across his face as he said, "A spirit seal?"

Spirit Seals are left behind by powerful individuals who have dedicated their lives to spiritual cultivation. Although they are not as rare as the sect inheritances found in some ancient secret treasures, they are still extremely rare and precious treasures. With proper control, they can enable their holders to fight against opponents of higher levels.

“…That’s right, it’s a spirit seal,” Su Kui said, glancing at the little sable with surprise. He then raised his hand and patted Su Rou’s head. “Some time ago, we accidentally wandered into an ancient area. We initially thought we had encountered the legacy of some ancient sect, but in the end, we didn’t find anything. However, it can’t be said that we gained nothing, since Xiao Rou accidentally opened a seal, and that spirit seal entered her body…”

Upon hearing Su Kui's explanation, Xiao Yan and Lin Dong's faces twitched involuntarily. They had gone to great lengths for the inheritance of the Four Great Profound Sects, only to find that Su Rou had inexplicably obtained a spirit seal? Moreover, it was a spirit seal that was equivalent to the Sixth Yuan Nirvana Realm even in its sealed state?

“That spiritual seal is very mysterious and vast, completely beyond our ability to detect, and Xiao Rou can't control this power either. Of course, we know this is actually a good thing, the power is with Xiao Rou, and as time goes by, she will eventually adapt to that power. But who knew that after obtaining this power, we would be targeted by some people,” Su Kui said with a wry smile. “We are no match for those people, so we could only run away. We only escaped here tonight because we were being chased. We didn't have any ill intentions towards you guys…”

"Don't worry, we won't cause you any trouble. We'll leave as soon as the beast tide recedes."

Looking at the apology on Su Kui's rugged face, Lin Dong then looked at the timidity on Su Rou's face. There was a hint of fear in the latter's eyes as she stared at him, probably because she had been frightened by him earlier.

"It's alright," Xiao Yan said, turning his gaze back to the campfire. "If this place weren't so close to Wanxiang City, we wouldn't be so vigilant. Please forgive us if we have offended anyone in any way."

"Haha..." Su Kui chuckled dryly, "We are already very grateful that we can stay here to avoid the beast tide."

As time passed, the darkness that shrouded the world finally receded quietly, and when a ray of light appeared on the horizon, the raging primordial energy in the world calmed down once more.

"Brother Xiao Yan, Brother Lin Dong, thank you all very much for last night. Since it's already dawn, we won't stay any longer and will take our leave now!"

Beside the extinguished campfire, gazing at the brightening sky, Su Kui breathed a sigh of relief, then solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute to Xiao Yan and Lin Dong before turning to leave.

“We’re only a short distance from Vientiane City,” Lin Dong suddenly said. “Let’s go together, and you can tell us about the rules of Vientiane City.”

“But…” Su Kui clearly did not expect Lin Dong to say such a thing, and his first reaction was to refuse.

"There are five people guarding outside the forest. They must be the ones chasing you, right?" Xiao Yan said after giving Lin Dong a strange look. "If the three of you conceal your appearance a little and then split up in our group, they will have a hard time noticing the problem immediately. It's better to go together than for the three of you to go and fight those five head-on."

Su Kui looked conflicted. He was already very touched that Xiao Yan and his group of five had taken them in last night, and if he accepted their help today as well...

"Alright, stop being so fussy, you're a grown man!" Xiao Yuan scoffed. "We're not afraid of getting into trouble, what are you worrying about?"

"It's rare for this kid to do something good," Little Mink said, crossing her arms and glancing at Lin Dong. "If he misses this opportunity, there won't be another one!"

After repeated persuasion, Su Kui finally made up his mind.

"Then I'll have to trouble you all!" Su Kui said solemnly, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

"It's no big deal!" Xiao Yan said with a casual smile.

Just as Xiao Yan said, after the group left the forest, they saw five figures. Although only three of them were at the Tri-Yuan Nirvana Realm and the other two were only at the Di-Yuan Nirvana Realm, they were still not someone that Su Kui and his two companions could handle.

When Xiao Yan and his group saw the five people, they also noticed the eight people on this side, and five of them were wearing loose black robes that were enough to cover their faces.

"you……"

After a brief conversation, one of the five people stopped Xiao Yan and his companions, seemingly wanting to question them about something.

"Is something wrong?"

Lin Dong coldly raised his head, and the murderous aura in Xiao Yan's body surged out at the right time. In an instant, this person, who had not even uttered a complete sentence, felt as if a bloodthirsty Asura crawled out of hell appeared before him.

"My friend, I am Yan Mo from the Fengyun Dynasty. Would you be so kind as to grant me this favor?" Noticing the change in the situation, the man in black robes with a rather sinister appearance quickly approached his companion, clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, and said.

"The Wind and Cloud Dynasty?" Xiao Yan's lips twitched. "A super dynasty?"

“That’s right, we are catching thieves, so could you gentlemen please take off your hoods for a moment?” Yan Mo breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Xiao Yan’s words and said accordingly.

"Get lost." Lin Dong coldly uttered a single word.

"Uh..." The rejection came so suddenly that Yan Mo didn't react immediately and even stared blankly at Xiao Yan.

"What? Do you think you, a mere Tri-Realm Nirvana Realm cultivator, have any influence here?" Xiao Yan chuckled and said, "If you want us to do what you say, at least you should have your dog's owner come over, right?" His voice was very soft, and apart from Yan Mo, only Lin Dong and Xiao Diao could hear what Xiao Yan was saying.

As soon as he finished speaking, a chilling aura descended upon Yan Mo.

Sensing the aura emanating from someone at least at the Fifth Yuan Nirvana Realm, Yan Mo swallowed hard, then broke into a bright smile: "Haha, once you have news from the Qing Dynasty, you can... let us pass!"

In this way, Xiao Yan easily reached a consensus with Yan Mo, bypassed the five people, and headed towards Wanxiang City, which was close to the core area of ​​the ancient battlefield.
