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

……

Whispers spread rapidly, some reaching the ears of the Dao Sect disciples, and many of them immediately showed anger in their eyes.

"Damn Yuan Sect, if I don't personally kill a few of them in this sect competition, how can I go back to my fellow disciples in the Desolate Palace..." Jiang Hao said through gritted teeth, his face gloomy. Many Dao Sect disciples beside him nodded in agreement.

After scanning his surroundings, Xiao Yan's gaze fell on the ground. The dark color gave him an indescribable feeling, as if... something was hidden deep underground.

Compared to the indignant disciples, the four palace masters did not react much. After leading everyone into the Demon City, they headed to a corner of the city.

Led by Qi Lei and his companions, the Dao Sect disciples settled in the western part of the Demon City. They were then allowed to roam freely, with only instructions to be careful outside. Although they outnumbered the others, the Demon City was a melting pot of people, including some arrogant individuals who wouldn't take the might of a super sect too seriously.

"What do you think of this Demon City?" Xiao Yan asked casually as he walked into the house with Lin Dong.

"There's a sense of oppression, but I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong..." Lin Dong frowned slightly, sighed, and replied.

“I always felt that something was hidden beneath the ground,” Xiao Yan said calmly. “And the result was pretty much what I expected… My spiritual power could only extend downwards for less than a thousand meters.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong frowned even more deeply—although the land has a certain influence on the spread of spiritual power, the spiritual power of a Grandmaster Immortal Talisman Master... how could it be that he could only detect depths of less than a thousand meters?

Although he had been traveling for several days, Lin Dong planned to meditate for a while. However, due to numerous doubts and the lack of any clues, he abandoned the idea of ​​meditation and decided to go into the city to inquire about some information.

"Together or apart?" After explaining his plans, Lin Dong looked at Xiao Yan and asked.

“Let’s go together,” Xiao Yan shrugged. “This Demon City is a mixed bag…it wouldn’t be good if something unexpected happened.”

"Are you guys planning to go out for a stroll too?" Ying Huanhuan's voice suddenly rang out behind them. "Want to come along? I was just about to go treasure hunting."

"Treasure Hunt Area?" Turning around, Xiao Yan was stunned when he saw Ying Huanhuan's expectant face.

"The City of Otherworldly Demons is close to the Otherworldly Demon Realm, and many treasure hunters often enter the Otherworldly Demon Realm and bring out a lot of things. However, most of these things are already ruined. Even if there are some ancient artifacts among them, few people can tell the difference. If someone has a keen eye and finds some treasures among them, it would be a great harvest," Ying Huanhuan explained.

"So you mean... you're getting a bargain?" Xiao Yan's expression was a little strange.

"It's about finding a bargain," Ying Huanhuan nodded with a smile. "So, are you interested?"

"I'm quite confident in my luck," Xiao Yan chuckled. "Shall we go take a look over there first?" He turned his head to look at Lin Dong.

"Anyway, we don't have any clue right now," Lin Dong shrugged and said.

……

When Xiao Yan and his group leisurely walked from their lodging in the west of the city to the treasure-hunting area in the north, the place was already bustling with activity, and the wide streets were packed with people.

In the treasure hunting area, there are many smooth and clean huge blue stones. On these stones, there are light shields, and some figures who look like stall owners sit cross-legged. In front of them are all kinds of strange and unusual things, attracting the attention of passers-by.

"The ancient martial art, the Cloud-Piercing Great Thousand Palm, is absolutely comparable to a top-grade spiritual martial art, and it only requires eight million Nirvana Pills!"

"Resurrection Pill, a holy pill for healing. As long as you have a breath left, it will make you lively and energetic again. Seven million Nirvana Pills!"

……

Putting martial arts aside for the moment, upon hearing the name of the pill, Ying Huanhuan pulled Xiao Yan over to take a look. They then discovered that this so-called healing elixir was at most a fifth-grade pill. Although the grade wasn't low, the price…

It can only be said that they are waiting for the right person to take the bait.

However, as they ventured deeper into the treasure-hunting area, the number of vendors around them decreased, but the items they sold surprised the three of them.

After walking for a while, Xiao Yan and Lin Dong suddenly had an idea and looked up at a stall in the distance—

Inside the light barrier atop the bluestone sat a middle-aged man in a crimson robe. Several items were casually placed in front of him. His aura was not weak, but it paled in comparison to the surrounding stalls.

"The main character?" Lin Dong turned his head to look at Xiao Yan and asked.

'It seems...' Xiao Yan's lips twitched slightly, 'I wonder why I'm here...'

After a brief exchange, Xiao Yan strode forward. Before speaking to the middle-aged man, his gaze fell on several items placed in front of him. After glancing at them, he picked up a crimson token.

"How many Nirvana Pills does this thing cost?" He looked up at the middle-aged man with a somewhat rugged face, dressed in a crimson robe.

"Not expensive, three million Nirvana Pills." The middle-aged man in the crimson robe glanced at Xiao Yan with interest before quoting the price.

"Three million?" Ying Huanhuan frowned slightly, snatched the token from Xiao Yan's hand, examined it thoroughly, and finally looked up at Xiao Yan, "This thing isn't anything special, why are you interested in it?"

"Well..." Xiao Yan smiled helplessly, his gaze lingering on the middle-aged man watching the show for a moment before he spoke, "It... has an amplifying effect on the formation I set up!"

“Array formation? Amplification?” Upon hearing these two words, Ying Huanhuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the middle-aged man, “This is…” He flipped his right hand, and a red Qiankun bag appeared.

"Six million! My Yuan Sect wants this!"

Before Ying Huanhuan could hand the Qiankun bag to the middle-aged man, an arrogant voice rang out nearby, and at the same time, a hand reached for the crimson token that Ying Huanhuan was holding.

Bang!

A dull thud sounded, and then the lightning-striking figure was sent flying backward, finally crashing heavily into a huge blue stone, the terrifying force shattering the stone on the spot.

"This is three million Nirvana Pills." After casually knocking away the passerby, Xiao Yan took out a Qiankun bag from his Awakening Flame Ring and placed it on the middle-aged man's stall.

"That person is a disciple of the Yuan Sect, right?" The middle-aged man glanced at the figure climbing up from the pile of rubble, then turned to Xiao Yan and asked indifferently, "Are you alright?" His smiling face seemed to show that he didn't care at all about the figure that had been sent flying.

"Lei Qian, the Thunder King among the Three Little Kings of Yuanmen," Xiao Yan said after taking the crimson token from Ying Huanhuan and casually putting it into his Awakening Flame Ring, "is not worth mentioning."

After uttering a few words calmly, Xiao Yan turned around and looked at Lei Qian, who was walking towards him.

"Heh, not worth mentioning? Your Dao Sect's arrogance is getting bigger and bigger!" After the lightning flashing around his body dissipated, Lei Qian grinned and walked towards Xiao Yan and the other two. "Oh, your strength is not bad, but I wonder how good it is!"

Lei Qian's gaze swept over Xiao Yan and the other two, and when he found that one of them was a Ninth-Level Nirvana Realm cultivator and the other two were Eighth-Level Nirvana Realm cultivators, his pupils shrank slightly, but his words remained arrogant.

"What? Ready to have a contest?" Ying Huanhuan snorted coldly after discovering that Lei Qian's strength was about the same as hers, and that there were no other Yuanmen people beside Lei Qian.

"Heh, once we enter the Demon Realm, there will be plenty of time for a contest!" Lei Qian sneered, then looked at Xiao Yan, "If you hand over the item, I might spare your dog's life!"

"Come and get it yourself if you want it," Xiao Yan said calmly. "The three little kings of the Yuan Sect wouldn't be gathering their lackeys while facing three Dao Sect disciples, would they?" A crimson flame was flung out, hitting the jade piece that Lei Qian had secretly been holding squarely.

The jade piece shattered upon impact, but the explosion that Lei Qian had anticipated did not occur, let alone the display of the Yuanmen emblem's light patterns.

"You bastard..." Lei Qian's expression turned ferocious, and the lightning that had disappeared earlier reappeared on his body.

"No fireworks are allowed in front of me."

The middle-aged man behind the stall flicked his finger, and a red light struck Lei Qian's shoulder. After a brief flash, the dazzling lightning disappeared completely.

"...Who are you?" As the lightning dissipated, Lei Qian's expression turned serious as he stared intently at the middle-aged man. "This is a dispute between my Yuan Sect and the Dao Sect. I hope you won't make a mistake!"

At first, Lei Qian thought the Dao Sect guys were just lucky to have found a suitable item. However, after discovering that the middle-aged man could easily dispel the Yuan Power he had gathered with a flick of his wrist, Lei Qian finally realized that this stall owner was clearly trying to hand over the crimson token to this guy from the Dao Sect named Xiao Yan. In other words…

"Before you interfere, you might as well think about whether your sect can be an enemy of my Yuan Sect!" Lei Qian stared intently at the middle-aged man in the crimson robe who was believed to have a grudge against the Yuan Sect but dared not retaliate openly.

"Heh, it's more appropriate for your sect leader to say that," the middle-aged man sneered, ignoring Lei Qian, who was frozen in place by his pressure. "It's all out in the open... Why don't you two come out for a walk with me?" He turned to look at Xiao Yan and Lin Dong, whose faces were full of helplessness.

'Why don't you give us the right to refuse...'

"As you wish." The two, who were cursing inwardly, sighed and said.

“Don’t worry, we both know this senior,” Xiao Yan said, turning to Ying Huanhuan before leaving with the middle-aged man. “Lei Qian… he’ll probably be standing here for a few minutes. You go back and find Uncle Xuan Lei and the others first.”

After glancing at Lei Qian and then at the kind-looking middle-aged man, Ying Huanhuan nodded and turned to flee into the distance.

"Were you just asking an elder of the Dao Sect for help?"

As he led Xiao Yan and Lin Dong out of the city, the middle-aged man asked with a smile.

"You're joking..." Xiao Yan sighed, "Even if the Sect Leader himself came, he wouldn't be a match for you... Moro, the master of the Flame God Palace and the controller of the Flame Ancestral Symbol."

Moro.

A name with a formidable reputation in the Chaotic Demon Sea, ranking among the top experts in the entire Chaotic Demon Sea. His Flame God Palace dominates a sea area and is a giant with an extremely high reputation in the Chaotic Demon Sea.

For some unknown reason, this legendary figure from the Chaotic Demon Sea has appeared in the Eastern Xuan Domain and even arrived in this City of Otherworldly Demons.

There was a funeral at home. I was busy all day yesterday, and I have to keep vigil tonight. I'll probably update tomorrow night.

Chapter 306 Moro

"So, it really was you?" Moro chuckled. "I thought I had sensed something wrong."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan chuckled dryly. When he sensed Moro's aura in the treasure hunting area earlier, he thought he had sensed something wrong, since he had been certain from the beginning that there were no Reincarnation Realm beings in this area.

As a result, he not only reached the Reincarnation Realm, but was also the controller of the Flame Ancestral Symbol!

"Did you notice me a long time ago?" After a moment's hesitation, Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask, "After concealing your aura, you hid deep within the treasure hunting area, releasing the aura of the Flame Ancestral Symbol and the aura of the Reincarnation Realm the moment I appeared..."

Xiao Yan really didn't understand why this big shot would appear here. If he had to say what his relationship with Moro was... it would only be the original power of the Flame Ancestral Symbol that Zhu Yun had left for Xiao Yan, which had been nurtured for ten thousand years. However, apart from the trial of the Great Desolate Stele, the aura of that Flame Ancestral Symbol's original power had never been exposed.

"This Otherworldly Demon Realm is the most famous region in the Eastern Xuan Domain. It's not impossible for me to come here occasionally when I'm in a good mood, is it?" Moro asked with a smile, looking at the nervous Xiao Yan and Lin Dong.

"Ha ha……"

The two chuckled dryly, offering no comment.

"Alright, I'm not teasing you two anymore," Moro shook his head helplessly when he saw how easily the two of them were teased. "More than a year ago, I received news that the aura of the Flame Ancestral Symbol had appeared in the Eastern Xuan Region. At that time, I wondered if someone was impersonating me and causing trouble in the Eastern Xuan Region."

At this point, a hint of displeasure flashed in Moro's eyes. Back then, in order to confirm the situation of the alien demons in the Chaotic Demon Sea, he was unable to come directly to prove his identity. As a result, not only did he fail to find the alien demons, but he was also accused of arbitrarily erasing the news of several Fire God Temple sects in the Eastern Xuan Region...

After dealing with some miscellaneous matters, more than a year had passed. If he hadn't recently heard news about "Rock Owl," he would have almost forgotten about this person who emerged from the Eastern Xuan Region, capable of killing a powerful expert at the Great Perfection of the Death Profound Realm, and who also possessed something with the same aura as the Flame Ancestral Symbol.

“Although it was delayed for more than a year due to some matters, seeing the name Yan Xiao again reminded me of that guy who carried the Flame Ancestral Symbol and was believed to have been sent by me to sever the inheritance of the minor sects in the Eastern Xuan Region,” Moro’s gaze fell on Xiao Yan. “However, since Yan Xiao spent ‘more than a year’ in the Ancient Battlefield, those things that were pinned on me, such as erasing some sects in the Eastern Xuan Region, were most likely not done by Yan Xiao…”

Seeing the strange expression on Moro's face, Xiao Yan chuckled dryly, extremely grateful that the controller of this Flame Ancestral Symbol was not a brainless or reckless person.

“After the battle between the powerful figures of the Eastern and Western Xuan Domains, Yan Xiao disappeared again. Every time he reappeared, he was targeting the disciples of the Yuan Sect,” Moro continued. “Although he comes and goes without a trace, I think Yan Xiao will not miss the sect war in the Eastern Xuan Domain and the opening of the Otherworldly Demon Domain. So, he entrusted the sect affairs to Xinlian. Cough, anyway, I stayed in the Otherworldly Demon City for several months in order to catch you.”

Aside from some gossip that shouldn't have been mentioned, Moro's words reassured Xiao Yan somewhat. At least, this big shot had spent quite a while trying to find fault with him.

"Then, is there something you need from me, senior?" Xiao Yan asked cautiously after letting out a sigh of relief.

“Indeed, I had quite a few questions for you at the beginning,” Moro said, giving Xiao Yan a meaningful look. “However, compared to your Great Ascension Immortal Talisman Master spiritual power, and the Flame Ancestral Talisman origin you somehow obtained…”

What did you just do? I'm talking about the traces you left in the spatial rifts, both underground and above the sky.

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong looked at Xiao Yan with surprise—he thought Xiao Yan was just out for a stroll and to gather some information, but it turned out that he had already left a hidden hand in the Otherworldly Demon City.

'But... a spatial rift? In other words, it's an array? But does Xiao Yan really have an array that can be effective against a Reincarnation Realm expert?' Lin Dong muttered to himself as he looked at Xiao Yan.

Lin Dong had great faith in Xiao Yan's strength. After all, Xiao Yan's spiritual power was already at the level of a Grandmaster Immortal Talisman Master. Using a fusion technique, he would definitely be able to contend with someone at the Reincarnation Realm, but the formation...

While also focusing on alchemy, Xiao Yan's array formation skills are indeed astonishing. However, according to what was said before, Yao Lao is not good at array formations. Does Xiao Yan really have an array formation that can be effective against the three members of the Yuan Sect?

"Set up an array..." Xiao Yan smiled helplessly, not expecting his previous little tricks to escape the notice of Moro hiding in the shadows.

"A formation?" Moro looked at Xiao Yan in surprise. "Are you sure... it's a formation?"

After confirming that Xiao Yan had tampered with the spatial rift, Moro searched the entire city of the Otherworldly Demon. The messy traces... he would have believed that Xiao Yan was trying to destroy the city, but it turned out to be an array? And just an array at that?
