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

"Young Master Mo?!" Qi Shan exclaimed in surprise when he saw Mo Ya dressed in white, following Xiao Yan's gaze.

'idiot……'

Upon hearing Qi Shan's words, Mo Ya, who had been trying to conceal his identity, cursed inwardly. Then, with a gentle smile, he walked to Qi Shan's side and said, "Friend, I am Mo Ya of the Black Emperor Sect... and also the manager of the Black Emperor Pavilion."

Upon seeing the cyan waist tag hanging from Xiao Yan's waist, Mo Ya almost couldn't suppress his smile.

"Mo Ya of the Black Emperor Sect..." After beckoning the disgruntled Zi Yan back to his side, Xiao Yan feigned sudden realization, "You must be the son of Mo Tianxing, the sect leader of the Black Emperor Sect, right? Not bad, it's just a bit of a pity..."

"What a pity? What are you talking about, friend?"

"It's a pity that Han Feng is already dead. Otherwise, with the power of the Black Emperor Sect, we should be able to get you a Royal Extreme Pill and a Breakthrough Pill, right?" Xiao Yan said with a smile. "Although with your strength as a five-star Dou Huang, you can break through to the Dou Zong realm in no more than twenty years, if you had the Royal Extreme Pill and the Breakthrough Pill, those twenty years could be reduced by at least half, right?"

Mo Ya's body stiffened slightly when his strength was revealed and even the fact that he had never taken the Imperial Pill was discovered.

“It is indeed a pity,” Mo Ya quickly shook his head helplessly. “At that time, my father was invited by Han Feng to go to Canaan Academy. I thought I could get a Royal Extreme Pill, but I didn’t expect… Alas, it can only be said that fate plays tricks on people.”

"Did you reveal my strength?" Mo Ya asked Qi Shan fiercely while saying helplessly.

"No, no," Qi Shan managed a strained expression, "He's also an alchemist, and if nothing unexpected happens... he might even be a sixth-grade alchemist!"

Six products?

Despite his inner shock, Mo Ya did not show it on his face. "Speaking of which, this Kui Sha is also a subordinate of my Black Emperor Sect. I wonder if this friend could let him go for the time being?"

“Just call me Yan Xiao,” Xiao Yan said with a smile as he looked at Mo Ya, who insisted on not calling him by his name. “As for Chief Kui… of course, no problem. After all, to be honest, I was the one who was wrong in the first place.”

"The main problem is that Kui Sha is not good at disciplining his subordinates," Mo Ya said with a gentle smile, changing the subject. "Speaking of which, since you have all obtained the Black Emperor Pavilion's entry tokens, how about I take you there...?"

“There’s no rush,” Xiao Yan politely declined. “Speaking of which, I wonder if Young Master Mo has ever heard of a pill called ‘Zongxuan Pill’?”

Upon hearing this, Mo Ya looked directly at Qi Shan.

“Zongxuan Pill…” Qi Shan hesitated for a moment, “That shouldn’t be a fifth-grade pill, right?” He looked at Xiao Yan as if seeking confirmation.

"A sixth-grade pill, the Zongxuan Pill, its effect is to increase the cultivation speed of a Dou Zong expert by four times," Xiao Yan said with a smile. "With Sect Master Mo's strength, he must really need this kind of pill, right?"

Six products?

Quadruple?

"Mr. Yan Xiao, you are... a sixth-grade alchemist?" After hearing Xiao Yan's previous words, Mo Ya's attitude changed instantly, and his respectful tone even had a hint of flattery.

"You could say that," Xiao Yan nodded, "So, Young Master Mo wants that Zongxuan Pill, right?"

"Mr. Yan, which item or items from the auction would you like?" After hearing the latter part of Xiao Yan's question, Mo Ya asked obsequiously, "If you want any of them, you can remove them from the auction."

“No, the next auction won’t have what I want,” Xiao Yan shook his head, “However, the corpse of the demonic beast that Sect Master Mo retrieved from the secret treasure…”

Although news of the secret treasure had already spread throughout the Black Corner Region, Mo Ya still felt a momentary tremor when Xiao Yan uttered the words "corpse of a magical beast"...

Chapter 346 Heavenly Demon Phoenix

The Black Emperor Pavilion's resting area is divided into three parts: Heaven, Earth, and Man.

The "Human" class rooms are usually occupied by powerful individuals or forces that have a small reputation in the Black Corner Region. Generally speaking, anyone who has reached the Dou Wang level is qualified to stay here. The "Earth" class rooms, on the other hand, require the strength of a Dou Huang or a force that has a great reputation in the Black Corner Region to be qualified to stay here.

The "Heavenly" residence is considered the most luxurious in Black Emperor City. Those who can stay here must be powerful figures with a renowned reputation in the Black Corner Region, or first-class forces comparable to the Black Emperor Sect. However, such powerful figures and forces rarely participate in Black Emperor City's auctions. Therefore, in most cases, the pavilions and courtyards of the "Heavenly" residence are empty.

However, rumors have been circulating in Black City these past two days—

Several guests checked into the Black Emperor Pavilion's top-tier rest area, and on the day of their arrival, they were personally led by Mo Ya, the young sect leader of the Black Emperor Sect, who served them attentively as they entered a pavilion.

Most people just laughed off such rumors. After all, everyone knows that Mo Ya, the young sect master of the Black Emperor Sect, is a genius who broke through to the Dou Huang level before the age of thirty, and will be able to break through to the Dou Zong level at the age of fifty at most. With such a status, who would be worthy of his personal guidance?

Although most people didn't take the rumor seriously, Yao, the owner of Qianyaofang, and Yan Mo had different opinions—

“According to Mr. Yan, there will be a big show before the Black Emperor City auction begins…” Looking at the Black Emperor City, which was once again shrouded in darkness, Yao Fangzhu frowned slightly. “Could it be… just a joke?”

Although Qianyaofang didn't have many people planted in the Black Emperor Sect, Yaofangzhu was among the first to know that 'Yanxiao' had met Qishan and Kuisha after leaving Qianyaofang, and was later invited to the Black Emperor Pavilion by Moya.

Upon learning this news, and considering 'Yan Xiao's' concern for Mo Tianxing's whereabouts and his statement that there would be a grand spectacle before the auction in Black Emperor City, Yao Fangzhu immediately began to look forward to what 'Yan Xiao' would do.

However, several days passed, and tomorrow was the day the Black Emperor City Auction would begin. The grand show that Yao Fangzhu was looking forward to from 'Yan Xiao' still showed no signs of about to begin. For a moment, she even began to doubt whether 'Yan Xiao' had just said it casually that day, but she had taken it seriously.

“Master Yan wouldn’t say something like that without any basis,” Yan Mo shook his head. “There’s still one night left, let’s wait patiently.”

Over the past two days, Yan Mo has reviewed a lot of materials and confirmed one thing: a sixth-grade alchemist usually needs three to seven days to refine a sixth-grade pill. Even the most skilled alchemist usually needs about a day to refine their most proficient pill. A seventh-grade alchemist will take much less time to refine a sixth-grade pill, but it usually still takes about half a day. When refining a high-grade sixth-grade pill, it may even take about a day.

Then, on that day, when 'Rock Owl' was refining the Azure Nether Longevity Pill, a peak sixth-grade pill, it only took him less than half a day... to be precise, less than three hours!

Master Yan is at least a master alchemist capable of refining high-grade seventh-rank pills, and may even be a grandmaster alchemist capable of refining eighth-rank pills!

After learning about these things from the books left behind by his master, Yan Mo was completely impressed by Yan Xiao's talent and magnanimity. At the same time, he was very fortunate to have the opportunity to observe the alchemy process of someone who was very likely a master alchemist. Therefore, Yan Mo began to look forward to Yan Xiao developing Thousand Medicine Workshop into his subordinate force!

That's right, it's a subordinate force. Yan Mo and Yao Fangzhu aren't fools. Just look at Xiao Yan's actions that day; everything he did proved that he wanted to bring Thousand Medicine Workshop under his control. It's just that Yao Fangzhu hadn't seen through Xiao Yan's strength and alchemist level, so she didn't point it out.

Yan Mo didn't initially intend to point it out, but... after correctly calculating Xiao Yan's approximate alchemist level, Yan Mo kept it in mind.

Although he felt somewhat sorry for Yao, the owner of Qianyaofang, who had made Qianyaofang bigger and stronger, the opportunity to latch onto such a young alchemy master was rare. Whether for his own future or for the future of Qianyaofang, he was determined to cling to Xiao Yan's coattails!

"Ah, that's true, there's still one night left..." After hearing Yan Mo's words, Yao Fangzhu smiled with some difficulty. She didn't know what was wrong with Yan Mo, who inexplicably believed that Yan Xiao would definitely bring a big show.

If that were all, it wouldn't matter. After all, whatever happened to the Black Emperor Sect would be irrelevant to her Thousand Medicines Shop. But Yan Mo insisted on being the first to witness it and rush to the scene...

'We're just a small force buying medicinal herbs!' Yao Fangzhu lamented inwardly.

boom!

Then, in the next instant, a deafening explosion suddenly erupted within the Black Emperor City, and the direction from which the explosion came was—

"Black Emperor Pavilion! It's Master Yan who made the move!" Yan Mo instantly became excited. Ignoring Yao Fangzhu's attempts to stop him, he immediately spread his battle qi wings and sped towards the direction from which the explosion came.

"Old Yan, wait for me!!!"

Since his attempts to stop them were futile, Yao Fangzhu had no choice but to follow. After all, Yan Mo, a fifth-grade alchemist, was someone that Qianyaofang had acquired at great expense.

*

A few minutes ago, outside a Heaven-level pavilion in the Black Emperor Pavilion.

Mo Tianxing, dressed in a yellow robe, looked at the pavilion in front of him, a few worries flashing through his mind. He had always known that there were spies from other forces within the Black Emperor Sect, but most of the information these spies spread was unimportant, or news that would be brought to the auction sooner or later, so he had not dealt with those people.

But this time, upon returning to the Black Emperor Sect and learning from Mo Ya that a sixth-grade alchemist had taken a liking to the demonic beast's corpse, he was completely stunned—

Without a doubt, the beast must have been quite powerful in life, and it might even have been on the verge of breaking through to the eighth rank. Therefore, the value of its blood and magic core is astonishing.

The premise is... that its corpse really contains enough blood and magic cores!

That's right, the blood content in this demonic beast's corpse was pitifully low, and as for the demonic core... it showed no reaction under the Black Emperor Sect's special secret technique. In other words, the corpse of this demonic beast that attracted that sixth-grade alchemist was basically worthless!

'The problem is, will he believe what I say?' Mo Tianxing was a bit of a headache.

If it were just an ordinary sixth-grade alchemist, the Black Emperor Sect wouldn't need to worry so much. After all, Qi Shan, the chief alchemist, could reach that level in a few more years. But this alchemist named Yan Xiao is frighteningly young. According to Mo Ya, he might be under twenty years old!

After thinking it over, Mo Tianxing gritted his teeth, raised his hand, and knocked on the door.

Knock knock knock—

As the knocking gradually subsided, just as Mo Tianxing was about to knock again, a slightly slurred voice came from the attic:

"who is it?"

Hearing the sleepy voice, Mo Tianxing felt a little embarrassed. He had come in a hurry and even forgot that it was already late at night and that the lights in the pavilion had long been turned off.

But since he's already woken me up, let's just make things clear tonight!

With this thought in mind, Mo Tianxing calmly said, "I am... Mo Tianxing." Come to think of it, this voice seems somewhat familiar... Have I heard it before?

As he gave his name, Mo Tianxing began to wonder if he had heard that voice somewhere before.

"What Mo Tianxing..." The voice, tinged with anger at being woken up, first cursed instinctively, then seemed to remember something, "Ahem, so it's Sect Leader Mo, my apologies for not recognizing you..."

"Sect Leader Mo, please wait a moment, I'll be right down!" With an awkward voice, the door to the pavilion was opened.

Although the voice sounded somewhat familiar, Mo Tianxing couldn't immediately recall where he had heard it before, so he slowly walked into the attic.

A moment later, footsteps sounded, and Mo Tianxing, who was standing in the hall, looked in the direction from which the footsteps came.

"It's you?!"

The moment he saw that face, Mo Tianxing finally remembered where he had heard that voice before—six months ago, within the barrier of the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy, the Medicine King Han Feng of the Black Corner Region personally acknowledged that this person was his junior brother!

'No, if it's him, then this place...' Upon seeing Xiao Yan, Mo Tianxing instantly realized what was going on and immediately scanned the pavilion with his soul power, afraid that he might accidentally step into some kind of trap.

However, to Mo Tianxing's surprise, there really were no traps in this pavilion. The little girl who Mo Ya had mentioned, who could severely injure Kui Sha with one punch, and the woman who was also suspected to be a Dou Zong were both behind Xiao Yan.

'If that's the case, why pretend to be woken up by me and then trick me into coming in?' After confirming that there was no danger, Mo Tianxing breathed a sigh of relief, but he was even more puzzled by Xiao Yan's previous actions.

"It seems Sect Leader Mo still remembers me?" After letting Mo Tianxing thoroughly examine the unremarkable pavilion, Xiao Yan said with a smile, "In that case, Sect Leader Mo should know why I came to find you, right?"

Zi Yan also walked over to Xiao Yan's side, crossed her arms, and looked at Mo Tianxing with a fierce expression.

Upon hearing this, Mo Tianxing relaxed a little. Since there was no immediate uproar, it meant there was still room for negotiation. If there was room for negotiation, then at most it would involve some bloodshed. After all, to be honest, he hadn't laid a hand on anyone from Canaan Academy that day, and he himself had even suffered a considerable loss...

'Speaking of which, isn't that Dou Zong here?' Thinking of the loss he suffered that day, Mo Tianxing's gaze subconsciously swept over Medusa. Relieved to find it wasn't the Dou Zong from that day, he murmured, 'There aren't many Dou Zongs to begin with, let alone female Dou Zongs... At most, there are only three Dou Huangs. No need to worry too much.'

After confirming that he was not in any danger, Mo Tianxing smiled and said, "Of course, to be honest, I actually relaxed a lot after I knew that it was you who came."

"Because you didn't see Little Fairy Doctor?" Seeing the genuine smile on Mo Tianxing's face, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow and asked.

"That's part of the reason..." Mo Tianxing smiled awkwardly, then quickly changed the subject, "Speaking of which, what you want is probably the magic core of that magical beast, right?"

With a wave of his hand, a gigantic corpse, ten zhang wide and sealed inside a crystal, appeared before Xiao Yan's eyes. Judging from its jade-like wings, it should be the corpse of the magical beast that Yao Fangzhu mentioned, which Mo Tianxing had obtained in the secret treasure.

Looking at the enormous corpse of the magical beast, Xiao Yan frowned slightly, suppressing a slight unease in his heart. At the same time, he turned his head to look at Zi Yan and saw that she also had a slight frown. Xiao Yan pursed his lips and made a rough guess about the identity of the magical beast's mummified corpse...

“According to our speculation, that magical beast should be an unparalleled ferocious beast that is about to break through to the eighth rank…” Noticing Xiao Yan’s slightly furrowed brows, Mo Tianxing’s heart tightened slightly, and then he licked his somewhat dry lips before speaking.

Even disregarding Canaan Academy and that female Dou Zong, judging from Xiao Yan's combat power—being able to kill Han Feng, who was at the peak of Dou Huang, at the peak of Dou Wang—Xiao Yan is definitely not the kind of "ordinary alchemist who is powerless to even kill a chicken." Moreover, judging from the move Xiao Yan used to kill Han Feng, if a battle were to break out in Black Emperor City, regardless of the outcome, Black Emperor Sect would suffer a huge loss.

"However, barring any unforeseen circumstances, there is no demonic core within its body." While intently observing Xiao Yan's actions, Mo Tianxing slowly uttered the second half of his sentence.

"No magic core..." Xiao Yan murmured these four words.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Zi Yan raised her head, looked directly into Xiao Yan's eyes, and shook her head slightly.

'As expected…' Noticing Zi Yan's actions and understanding that she meant the Black Emperor Sect had not found the correct method to detect the demonic core of this demonic beast's corpse, Xiao Yan sighed inwardly.

'This is a Celestial Phoenix that has been dead for countless years…' Xiao Yan turned his head, his gaze returning to the mummified demonic beast corpse within the crystal. 'In a rural place like the Northwest Continent, a Celestial Phoenix and a Primordial Ancient Dragon have appeared simultaneously…'

Putting aside the scarcity of natural energy in the Northwest Continent, the identities of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix and the Ancient Void Dragon alone make it impossible for them to appear here without reason, especially given that the Heavenly Demon Phoenix died and the Ancient Void Dragon left behind its cubs.

The only thing Xiao Yan could think of was that the Ancient Void Dragon was seriously injured for some reason, and then the Heavenly Demon Phoenix thought it could kill the Ancient Void Dragon, so it followed. As a result, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix was too arrogant and still died at the hands of the Ancient Void Dragon, but the Ancient Void Dragon also perished due to its serious injuries.

If it weren't for the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, Xiao Yan might have thought it was a case of two parties eloping, but if it were the Heavenly Demon Phoenix... Xiao Yan didn't think the Ancient Dragon of the Void would fall in love with its own food.
