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

Those who fail to control themselves and are drawn into the illusionary array will leave behind a mark that attracts demonic corpses or demons; once the demonic corpses or demons are killed, they will be absorbed by this mark, which will then release demonic energy...

Would the Demon Emperor's arm, which could do this so easily, really allow the mark to be so easily erased?

As Xiao Yan received the prototype of the Qiankun Ancient Formation from Lin Shou, his heart grew heavier.

Chapter 311 Demon Prison

"Is it resolved?"

When Xiao Yan and Lin Dong returned to the Dao Sect members, Ying Huanhuan glanced at Xiao Yan, whose face was somewhat pale, and then her gaze involuntarily returned to the spot where the two of them had intercepted the demonic corpses earlier—

The sky was covered with countless black cracks, and clusters of flames burned silently around them...

If she hadn't still been able to see the shapes of those demonic corpses, she would have almost thought that Xiao Yan and Lin Dong had destroyed them all.

"We were pretty lucky," Xiao Yan said, a lingering fear on his face. "I almost thought they were going to break free... Oh, right, here you go." He took out two orbs of light from his Qiankun bag, tossed one to Wang Yan, and handed the other to Ying Huanhuan.

"Life Profound Bone Pill? You really dealt with two demonic corpses?" Ying Huanhuan stared wide-eyed in disbelief as Xiao Yan handed her the ball of light. "Those were demonic corpses at the peak of the Life Profound Realm!"

"Two of the demonic corpses had considerable damage to their bodies, as if they had been damaged by someone," Xiao Yan waved his hand. "After trapping all the demonic corpses, I used a little trick to completely destroy the two damaged ones."

"That's all thanks to the two of you..."

After a moment's hesitation, both Ying Huanhuan and Wang Yan considered refusing.

"You should use it," Lin Dong advised with a smile. "If you have enough luck and manage to touch the threshold of the Life Profound Realm, it will be of greater help to us in the Ancient Treasury later on."

"Ancient Treasure?" Ying Xiaoxiao was stunned, looking at Lin Dong in surprise. "You found information about the Ancient Treasure on those demonic corpses?"

“No, it’s something I bought in the treasure hunting area of ​​the Otherworldly Demon City a few days ago,” Lin Dong denied Ying Xiaoxiao’s guess. Then, his spiritual power surged out, forming a light map in front of them. “It looks like a map of the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury…”

"The Ancient Treasury of Burning Heaven?" Ying Xiaoxiao's gaze shifted to the light map, and then, a hint of helplessness quickly appeared on her face. "It's my fault, I didn't explain it to you beforehand..."

After Ying Huanhuan, Xiao Yan, and Lin Dong looked at her in surprise, she smiled helplessly: "There are many ancient treasures in the Otherworldly Demon Realm, and the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasure is one of the most famous. As for your map... it's not of much value, since many people know the location of the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasure."

Hearing Ying Xiaoxiao's words, Lin Dong felt a little embarrassed—it turned out that what he treasured was actually worthless junk.

“However, although the location of the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury is not a secret, no one has been able to successfully open it until now,” Ying Xiaoxiao continued. “In addition, the Yuanmen of the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury has been eyeing it for many years, so perhaps they have found a way to open it this time…”

"Has the Yuan Sect been eyeing this Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury for a long time?" Xiao Yan suddenly asked.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's question, Lin Dong's heart stirred slightly: Yuan Sect must be connected with that alien demon. If Yuan Sect had been eyeing the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury for a long time, could it be assumed that there is a sealed alien demon of the general or king level within the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury?

“After all, it was the Yuan Sect that first found the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasure,” Ying Xiaoxiao said. “Although more and more super sects have been eyeing the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasure in recent years, the people of the Yuan Sect are definitely the ones who know the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasure the most.”

In fact, during the last sect competition, there were rumors that the Yuan Sect was going to fully open the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury. Although they ultimately failed, they will definitely try again this time.

After discovering the collusion between Yuanmen and the Otherworldly Demons, Xiao Yan and Lin Dong's impression of Yuanmen plummeted—although it wasn't good at first either—in short, after learning that Yuanmen was the first to discover the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury, the two of them immediately concluded that there was a sealed Otherworldly Demon inside.

"Let's go straight to the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury."

When Ying Xiaoxiao and the others heard Xiao Yan and Lin Dong say those words at the same time, they were all slightly stunned.

“Although going to the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury might lead to an earlier encounter with the Yuan Sect,” Xiao Yan shrugged, “it’s inevitable, there’s no way to avoid it. Besides, if they’re interested in the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury…”

"At the very least, they'll only have the mind to attack us after they've obtained the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury," Lin Dong added. "If they fight us to the death before even entering the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury, then the treasures within the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury will have nothing to do with the Yuan Sect!"

"...I think we can go," Wang Yan said in a deep voice after accepting the Life Profound Bone Pill under the persuasion of Xiao Yan and Lin Dong. "Even if we don't gain anything, we must ensure that the people of Yuan Sect are treated the same as us!"

"Yes, if the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury really opens, we will fight to the death to prevent the Yuan Sect from gaining anything!"

"Exactly! We'd rather fight them to the death. I've been fed up with them for a long time!"

Wang Yan's words coincided with the thoughts of the vast majority of Dao Sect disciples, so the Dao Sect disciples who were near them immediately shouted excitedly.

Looking at the excited Dao Sect disciples around her, Ying Xiaoxiao could only shake her head helplessly, and then said softly, "Since that's the case, let's set off immediately. If the Yuan Sect is really confident in opening the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury, then they will head towards the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury as soon as they enter the Otherworldly Demon Domain. So, we also need to speed up our journey!"

"Ok!"

"go!"

Seeing that everyone nodded with resolute expressions, Ying Huanhuan said no more. With a swift movement, she transformed into a streak of light and dashed away. Behind her, Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, Wang Yan, Ying Huanhuan, and many Dao Sect disciples quickly followed, then transformed into a large expanse of rainbow light and sped towards the depths of the wasteland.

……

In a tavern somewhere in the City of Otherworldly Demons, Moro, dressed in a crimson robe, sat alone by the window, gazing into the distance at the location of the Otherworldly Demon Realm.

"Sitting here alone, drinking alone?"

Darkness gathered opposite Moro, and after a moment, it dissipated, revealing a gaunt old man in a black robe and a black crown who picked up a bottle of wine from the table and smelled it.

"Tsk, is this what you usually drink?" After realizing that the wine was indeed provided by this restaurant, the old man put the wine pot back with a look of disgust.

"What are you doing here?" Moro asked casually, still gazing in the direction of the Otherworldly Demon Realm. "Weren't you supposed to be busy teaching your disciples? What, did your favorite disciple run away?"

"She's here to see her brother," the old man said casually. "And you? Was that little guy with the aura of the Flame Ancestral Symbol who appeared in the Eastern Xuan Region a few years ago really there?"

"At around twenty years old, with the spiritual power of a Grandmaster Immortal Talisman Master, compared to him, we two old guys who haven't even broken through to the Reincarnation Realm yet are just a joke," Moro sighed.

"Twenty years old, a Grand Ascension Immortal Talisman Master?" The old man gasped. "Tsk tsk, terrifyingly terrifying..."

After glancing at the old man who was full of lies, Moro thought for a moment and then told him what Xiao Yan and Lin Dong had told him about the connection between the Yuan Sect and the Otherworldly Demons.

After listening attentively to Moro's account, the old man burst into laughter: "Ho, those three from the Yuan Sect actually have connections with the Otherworldly Demons? Why don't you just take action and crush them?"

"The next war between heaven and earth is coming soon. As the controller of the Ancestral Symbol, I will not take action until I witness them using the power of the Otherworldly Demons or making deals with them," Moro said calmly. "It is the responsibility of the controller of the Ancestral Symbol!"

"What bullshit about responsibility," the old man cursed vulgarly. "If you were really that responsible, you would have destroyed the Yuan Sect long ago!"

Moro calmly picked up the wine glass, took a small sip... and then put the glass down with a look of disgust.

"Speak your mind!" the old man grumbled. "I have no interest in wasting my time in this godforsaken place!"

"...Demon Prison." After a moment of silence, he took out a pot of wine from his Qiankun bag, poured a cup for himself and the old man, and uttered two words in a low voice.

"...What is that?" the old man frowned.

“Demon Prison, the Demon of the Otherworldly Demons, the Prison of the Prison,” Moro said slowly. “After the ancient war between heaven and earth, many Otherworldly Demons hid in our world… Those hidden rats formed an organization called Demon Prison.”

Upon hearing this, the old man's expression turned serious. "How did you know? Have you encountered them?"

“I didn’t, but an old guy who had just woken up from reincarnation was ambushed by them and almost died,” Moro said calmly, “If I weren’t the controller of the Flame Ancestral Symbol, that old guy probably wouldn’t have revealed this information.”

"Is that so..." The old man nodded. "But, the old fellow who awakened in the cycle of reincarnation? How did you find him?"

"...Do you remember what you just said, about the news that a few years ago there were rumors in the Eastern Xuan Region that someone had the aura of the Flame Ancestral Symbol?" After a moment of silence, Moro asked.

The old man nodded.

“Around that time, I received news that there were signs of demonic activity in the Chaotic Demon Sea,” Moro continued. “At the time, I thought it was fake news, or that someone was impersonating me, so I continued to search for demonic figures in the Chaotic Demon Sea…”

"However, we didn't find the Otherworldly Demon in the end. On the way back, we stopped by the Undying Holy Whale, a place we wouldn't normally go to. That old guy was visiting a friend there," Moro said.

"So, you think the people who contacted those three from Yuanmen were from Demon Prison?" The old man suddenly understood. "So, on the surface you said it was inconvenient to take action, but actually you were secretly checking to see if anyone from Demon Prison was lurking nearby?"

Moro silently took a sip of wine, neither admitting nor denying it.

"...I guess I'm just unlucky. I shouldn't have let that girl escape," the old man sighed after a long silence, then said, "But let me make this clear first, I can only deal with ordinary King-level alien demons at most!"

“Okay,” Moro nodded and said.

……

The Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury is located in the central part of the Otherworldly Demon Realm, which is quite a distance from the outer perimeter of the Otherworldly Demon Realm. Even at full speed, it would take the Dao Sect disciples nearly ten days to reach it.

shhhhhh!

The vast expanse of light and shadow swept across another mountain range before finally settling slowly in mid-air, as everyone gazed intently ahead—

Ahead lay a vast, indescribably crimson basin. If viewed from the sky, it would appear to be a gigantic palm print, as if a god had struck down with his palm, leaving an imprint on the earth.

At this moment, the basin was packed with people, with hardly any gaps in sight. Clearly, after entering the Demon Realm, the Yuan Sect did not conceal its goals and actions.

This clearly targeted action quickly attracted the attention of countless people, and in the end, most of the people who entered the Otherworld gathered here.

“It seems that Yuanmen is indeed preparing to fully open the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury this time…” Looking at the sea of ​​people in the basin, Ying Xiaoxiao’s eyes flashed with understanding as she spoke, “In previous sect competitions, although there were quite a few people here, the scale was far smaller than this time. It seems that they have seen Yuanmen’s confident behavior and want to come and get a share of the pie.”

"The other super sects have also arrived."

Xiao Yan's gaze swept across the central area, where the forces of other super sects were located. However, what attracted Xiao Yan's attention the most were, as expected, the three young kings of the Yuan Sect, who were closest to the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury and whose auras were faintly intertwined with the strange demonic energy that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere...

"Shall we make our move outside, or go inside and discuss it later?" Lin Dong, noticing the unusual nature of those three, narrowed his eyes and asked.

"…Let's go in first," Xiao Yan said, shifting his gaze from the three objects to the distorted space ahead. "If there's a formation inside that seals the demonic energy, it might help me eliminate the demonic energy from my body."

Ten days later, the mark left by the pale hand on Xiao Yan's body finally stopped emitting demonic energy. However, Xiao Yan could sense that it wasn't that it couldn't emit any more demonic energy, but rather that it was unwilling to continue "wasting" it...

"Let's go over there too."

Ying Xiaoxiao also noticed the people from those super sects, and then she darted out and rushed towards the center. Behind her, many Dao Sect disciples followed closely.

As Xiao Yan and his group moved again, those who hadn't noticed them before also turned their attention to them—

Everyone knows that the disciples of the Yuan Sect are closest to the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury. In their view, since these people from the Dao Sect have come here specifically and even moved towards the central area, they are obviously preparing to confront the Yuan Sect head-on.

'It would be best if a battle broke out as soon as the Ancient Burial Treasury of Burning Heaven opened, the fiercer the better!'

Within the basin, countless people had this thought in their minds. Although they might not be able to find anything good in the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury, they felt that it was actually not bad if there were two super sects like them.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Dao Sect disciples slowly landed in the central area, and then all looked towards the far front, where the Yuan Sect disciples were located.

Seemingly noticing the gazes of the Dao Sect members, the Yuan Sect disciples suddenly parted from the center and simultaneously looked towards the Dao Sect's location. Undoubtedly, the ones who could command the Yuan Sect disciples to make such a synchronized move were none other than the three strongest members of the Yuan Sect's current generation—

Lei Qian, Ling Zhen, and the true number one... Yuan Cang!

Chapter 312 The Secret Treasure Unveiled

After meeting the gazes of the Dao Sect disciples, Yuan Cang smiled. His eyes swept over their faces before he turned away, seemingly having no objection to their presence.

If, a few minutes later, the two ordinary Yuanmen disciples did not suddenly leave the ranks and head towards the other two teams, which were also super sects but whose strength was inferior to the eight super sects...

Furthermore, shortly after this incident, the people from the two sects suddenly stood up and, under the watchful eyes of everyone across the mountains and fields, slowly walked towards the area where the Dao Sect disciples were located. Their demeanor clearly indicated that they had ill intentions.

'Using someone else to do the dirty work?' Lin Dong lowered his eyelids, a chill surging in his eyes.

Then, the next moment, Lin Dong's spiritual power suddenly sensed the aura of someone who shouldn't be here. He immediately turned around and looked at the distant sky, where two small black dots were rushing towards them.

“Those are people from the Ghost Blade Sect and the Fire Cloud Sect. These two sects have quite a reputation in the Eastern Xuan Domain. Although they are not affiliated with the Yuan Sect, they have always acted as if they follow the Yuan Sect’s lead. In the last two years, they have even looked like they are preparing to become affiliated sects of the Yuan Sect completely.”

Although many people followed Lin Dong's gaze into the distance, Xiao Yan and Ying Xiaoxiao were not affected by Lin Dong. When the two groups of people came over, Ying Xiaoxiao's eyes darkened slightly, and she explained to Xiao Yan in a low voice.

"Is that so?" Xiao Yan nodded, watching as the two groups of people first met in mid-air, and then, under the watchful eyes of many, arrived not far in front of them.

After they stood firm, a man in black and a man in red robes stepped out from the group, seemingly the leaders of two sects.
