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

"Greetings to both of you," Xiao Yan casually cupped his hands in greeting, then looked at Venerable Lei. "I heard that Venerable Lei recently took in a disciple of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. I imagine there must be some powerful figures from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan nearby... I wonder if you could help with the introduction?"

Lei Zun, who had thought this invitation was doomed to failure and only wanted to make an impression on this peak eighth-grade alchemist, widened his eyes in disbelief upon hearing this, then nodded vigorously, "Of course—please!"

"Thank you for your help."

After chuckling, Xiao Yan, along with Little Fairy Doctor and the other two, followed behind Thunder Venerable and flew into the depths of the mountains.

"So, you've already connected?"

"The Wind and Thunder Pavilion is about to take off!"

"A peak eighth-grade alchemist... Could it be that he actually wants to obtain a medicinal herb from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix?"

"Who knows? But after this incident, the Wind and Thunder Pavilion is destined to become stronger!"

……

Xiao Yan and Lei Zunzhe didn't lower their voices during their conversation, so those around them understood what was happening. Immediately, many cast envious glances at the members of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion.

Although these members could not possibly obtain pills refined by a peak eighth-grade alchemist, they would surely have a better future after the Wind and Thunder Pavilion made contact with that person!

On the other side, Mu Qingluan, who was following behind Xiao Yan and heading deeper into the mountains, bit her lip lightly.

"The relationship between the Azure Phoenix Clan and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix isn't exactly good." These words, enveloped in Dou Qi, reached Xiao Yan's ears.

"Does the Heavenly Phoenix Clan know any eighth-grade alchemists?" Xiao Yan glanced at the Thunder Venerable in front of him, casually waved his hand to set up a soundproof barrier, and asked.

“…Fenglei Pavilion should be the first human force they came into contact with,” Mu Qingluan said after a brief moment of thought. “The highest-ranking alchemist in Fenglei Pavilion… should be a seventh-grade one.”

"Isn't that it?" Zi Yan patted Mu Qingluan's arm casually. "With us here, would the Heavenly Demon Phoenix dare to give you attitude?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingluan couldn't help but glance at Zi Yan—she knew that Zi Yan was the legendary Ancient Void Dragon, the overlord of the magical beast race, but now you don't have an adult Ancient Void Dragon by your side, so compared to me, you are more dangerous, aren't you?

"Don't be nervous. If the Heavenly Phoenix Clan dares to make a move, they will face the calamity of extermination."

Although it was unclear what Mu Qingluan was thinking when she looked at Zi Yan, Xiao Yan could guess something from her expression: "Zi Yan has a very high status in the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan."

Really?

Although Mu Qingluan didn't speak again, her expression as she looked at Xiao Yan clearly asked the same question.

"You bastard!" Faced with Mu Qingluan's mockery, Zi Yan took the bait without hesitation, turning her head fiercely...

"Alright, we've arrived."

Before Zi Yan went berserk, Xiao Yan removed the surrounding soundproof barrier and looked ahead at Lei Zun Zhe, who had walked to the outside of a tent.

"who is it?"

As soon as Lei Zunzhe approached the tent, a clear, cold voice came from inside.

Upon hearing this, Lei Zun Zhe's face flashed with an embarrassed expression—the people from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan were not without Dou Zun, so how could they not know who the people from outside were?

However, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan was ultimately a force that Lei Zun and the Wind and Thunder Pavilion could not contend with, so he could only reply in a low voice, "It is me."

After receiving a reply, the tent fell silent, as if the Thunder Venerable was not taken seriously at all.

"An elder from the Pill Tower wishes to see you," Lei Zun Zhe could only smile awkwardly at Xiao Yan in response to the Heavenly Demon Phoenix's lack of respect, and then continued, "a peak eighth-grade alchemist!"

Upon hearing this, a commotion finally broke out in the tent—

The tent flap was quickly lifted, and three figures walked out one after another. The one in front was a tall, slender man with white hair dressed in brocade. The man was extremely handsome, and his smiling face looked noble and imposing. If nothing unexpected happened, he was the highest-ranking person among Tian Yaohuang's group.

Following behind the white-haired man was a woman in a colorful dress. The woman had a cold expression, and she was probably the one who had asked Lei Zun Zhe about his identity earlier.

Bringing up the rear was an old man in black robes. Although he didn't exude any aura, Xiao Yan could still see through his strength at a glance.

'A five-star Dou Zun? It seems the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan is unaware of the Nine Netherworld Python's covetousness of this ruin...' As he planted the soul mark on the three-headed Heavenly Demon Phoenix, Xiao Yan chuckled to himself.

Chapter 385 The Secrets of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan

After stepping out of the tent, the white-haired man's gaze fell directly on Xiao Yan. For a Dou Zun like Lei Zun, who had no background, they could naturally create obstacles in various ways to make him more obedient to the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. But for an eighth-grade peak alchemist…

Even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare say or do anything that would cause dissatisfaction.

"I am Huang Li, and this is Feng Qing'er," ignoring Lei Zunzhe, the white-haired man quickly took a few steps, stopping a few steps away from Xiao Yan and the others. He then introduced himself and the woman beside him, before pointing to the black-robed elder at the back, "This is an elder of my Heavenly Phoenix Clan..."

"Huang Xuan." After Huang Li introduced himself, the old man in black robes nodded to Xiao Yan and then gave his name.

"My name is Xiao Yan." After turning his gaze away from the Lei Zun Zhe, whose face was grim as he walked to the side of Huang Xuan, Xiao Yan introduced himself with a light laugh.

“Mr. Xiao Yan,” Huang Li smiled at the opportune moment, “I wonder what business Mr. Xiao Yan has with us?” Judging from her smile, it seemed that she was thinking about the scene of Xiao Yan’s status rising soaring in the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan after she made contact with him.

"I've heard that the Heavenly Phoenix Clan has extremely strict control over bloodlines?" Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and asked an extremely unexpected question.

“Uh…” Upon hearing this question, Huang Li’s gaze quickly swept over Xiao Yan and the others before turning to Huang Xuan behind her.

Seeing Huang Li's flustered behavior, Huang Xuan frowned slightly, but still shook his head slightly.

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan is extremely sensitive to the essence blood and wings of its members. Before breaking through to the eighth rank, they might not be able to detect it due to the concealment of storage rings, but after all, he already has the strength of a five-star Dou Zun. Even if Xiao Yan and others have hidden the essence blood of the Heavenly Phoenix in their storage rings, he can clearly distinguish it.

After receiving Huang Xuan's denial, Huang Li breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Xiao Yan, and said with a smile, "Of course, whether a member of our clan dies in battle or of old age, they must be buried in the forbidden area of ​​the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. If an outsider obtains the corpse of one of our clan members, he has only two choices: either return it to us voluntarily or face our pursuit. Therefore, even after tens of millions of years, the bloodline of our Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan remains pure."

“That’s right, that’s what I’ve heard,” Xiao Yan said with a smile. “However, I suppose the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan wouldn’t be particularly concerned about the corpses of their dead members, especially those buried in the Heavenly Demon Phoenix’s forbidden area?”

Upon hearing this, the expressions on Huang Li, Feng Qing'er, and Huang Xuan's faces instantly froze—Xiao Yan had explained in such detail that they naturally understood what he meant.

"Mr. Xiao Yan, I think..."

Lei Zun Zhe, who was standing to the side, also hurriedly stepped forward, seemingly wanting to act as a peacemaker. However, he clearly did not notice the chieftains of the Earth Tiger Clan and the Silver Moon Wolf Clan who had already quietly retreated.

“Lord Lei,” Xiao Yan interrupted Lord Lei without any politeness, “I respect you as the Pavilion Master of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, so I address you as Lord Lei…” He turned his head and his slightly cold gaze fell on Lord Lei, whose body was slowly stiffening.

"You don't actually think... a three-star Dou Zun could interfere in my conversation with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, do you?"

These cold words froze Lei Zun Zhe in place. After a moment's hesitation, he turned his head slightly to look at Huang Xuan...

“Venerable Lei, you should leave first,” Huang Xuan said indifferently, completely ignoring Venerable Lei’s gaze. “The following conversation is not suitable for the people of Feng Lei Pavilion to hear.”

"Alright, alright." Venerable Lei chuckled dryly and headed towards the Wind and Thunder Pavilion's camp.

"Elder, Qing'er will take her leave now." Before Huang Xuan's gaze fell on her, Feng Qing'er bowed and clasped her hands respectfully as she watched Lei Zun leave.

"Well, let's go."

Although Feng Qing'er's current strength is far inferior to Huang Li's, Huang Xuan was quite satisfied with her shrewdness, which was a hundred times greater than Huang Li's. After nodding, he allowed Feng Qing'er to leave to "explain" to Lei Zun Zhe.

After bowing to Xiao Yan and the others and apologizing, a pair of wind and thunder wings extended from her back, and she quickly headed towards the location of Thunder Venerable in front of her.

"master!"

Although she had not yet broken through to the Dou Zong level, Feng Qing'er was still a Heavenly Demon Phoenix, and Lei Zun Zhe's departure speed was not fast. Therefore, Feng Qing'er quickly caught up with Lei Zun Zhe, who had left with Hu Xiao and Yue Hao.

"Qing'er?" Venerable Lei turned around and frowned slightly when he saw that only Feng Qing'er had come over. "Is there something you need?"

Seeing the slight frown on Lei Zunzhe's brow and hearing his slightly cold voice, Feng Qing'er felt a little disgusted, but she still clasped her hands respectfully and said, "Elder Huang Xuan had his reasons earlier..."

“Difficulties?” Venerable Lei sneered. “I’d like to know what kind of difficulties could make him treat my Wind and Thunder Pavilion like this!”

'The Wind and Thunder Pavilion is supported by you alone?' While sneering inwardly, Feng Qing'er said softly, 'Master probably doesn't know the identity of the girl in blue behind Mr. Xiao Yan, right?'

A girl in blue?

Lei Zun Zhe was stunned for a moment, then quickly recalled the appearance of the girl in green.

“She is the daughter of the Azure Phoenix Clan Chief,” Feng Qing’er naturally knew that Venerable Lei was unaware of Mu Qingluan’s identity, so she revealed Mu Qingluan’s identity the moment Venerable Lei fell into thought. “The Azure Phoenix Clan is quite famous in the Beast Domain, and nearly ten clans are affiliated with the Azure Phoenix Clan…”

As Feng Qing'er introduced the situation of the Qingluan clan, Hu Xiao and Yue Hao exchanged a glance and then breathed a slight sigh of relief. They felt somewhat familiar when they first met Mu Qingluan. Fortunately, they didn't say much at that time, otherwise, their two clans would not have been able to withstand the Qingluan clan.

"The Azure Phoenix Clan..."

Under Feng Qing'er's introduction, Lei Zunzhe gradually learned about the situation of this clan in the Beast Domain, which was slightly weaker than the Heavenly Demon Phoenix and "hated" the Heavenly Demon Phoenix.

"So, Mr. Xiao Yan wanted the corpse of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix that died in the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Forbidden Land because of that Mu Qingluan?" As if deliberately provoking Feng Qing'er, Venerable Lei made no attempt to avoid mentioning the Heavenly Demon Phoenix in his words.

“That should be the case,” Feng Qing’er said calmly, her expression unchanged. “It seems that Mu Qingluan also wanted to use Mr. Xiao Yan’s identity to obtain the corpses of our ancestors in order to purify their bloodline.”

While Feng Qing'er was blatantly lying, Hu Xiao and Yue Hao nodded in agreement, as if to say, "She's telling the truth, she's not lying to you."

"I see..." Relieved to have received an answer, Thunder Venerable said, "Let's go back to the camp first." With that, he flew towards the location of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion camp, and this time his face no longer had the gloomy look it had before.

Feng Qing'er looked at Hu Xiao and Yue Hao, nodded with a smile, and followed Lei Zunzhe's steps.

Tiger Roar and Moon Howl exchanged a glance and shrugged one after the other. This was the fate of being a subordinate race of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix. They even had to believe the claim that the Heavenly Demon Phoenix's corpse was devouring its pure bloodline.

"Miss Qingluan, it's been a long time."

After Feng Qing'er left, Huang Xuan looked at Mu Qingluan behind Xiao Yan and greeted her.

“I came here with Xiao Yan this time,” Mu Qingluan said, glancing at Huang Xuan. “His teacher is the Medicine Venerable. I think I don’t need to explain the name of the Medicine Venerable to you, right?”

“Of course not,” Huang Xuan nodded. “So, Mr. Xiao Yan wants a pair of demonic phoenix wings?”

The news that Mu Qingluan had become Feng Zunzhe's disciple was not a secret among the major magical beast families in the Beast Domain. Even if they didn't know before, after Feng Zunzhe used the power of the Qingluan clan to search for this ruin, every family knew about it.

"If I had them, I'd need two pairs of Dou Zun-level Demon Phoenix Wings," Xiao Yan chuckled, not denying Huang Xuan's guess. "Then I'd need Demon Phoenix Essence Blood... and if possible, I'd like a bottle of Dou Sheng-level..."

“Ahem, Mr. Xiao Yan, please don’t joke around,” Huang Xuan was also startled by Xiao Yan’s words. He coughed lightly and then smiled awkwardly. “Besides the clan leader, only three elders in my clan have the strength of a Dou Sheng. Even the elders of the Little Pill Tower may not be able to get a bottle of Dou Sheng-level essence blood.”

"Is that so? Then forget it," Xiao Yan said casually. Anyway, he had thought about obtaining that level of essence blood through a trade. "Then, as Elder Huang Xuan, what level of demonic phoenix essence blood could he obtain? Half-Saint? Or a Transcendent Dou Zun?"

"...Peak of Dou Zun, that's the limit I can reach."

Faced with Xiao Yan's seemingly casual question, Huang Xuan hesitated for a long time before finally speaking, "Moreover, we can only make a deal with you, Mr. Xiao Yan, after the matter of this ruin is resolved."

"reason."

"...This time, only the three of us came to the Bone Mountain Range."

To be honest, Huang Xuan didn't want to reveal the lack of manpower this time, but he was certain of Xiao Yan and the others' strength, knowing that the strongest among them was only a one-star Dou Zun. Therefore, after a brief hesitation, in order to prove his determination to make the deal, he still spoke up.

"Only the three of you?"

Xiao Yan was truly shocked. He had planned to use the 'trade' as a pretext to mark all the Heavenly Demon Phoenixes around the Skeleton Mountain Range with their souls, but Huang Xuan actually said that only the three of them had come to this Dou Sheng Ruins.

"The clan leader and the others..." Huang Xuan knew that what followed would be more than just a transaction, but after glancing at Xiao Yan's robe, which represented his status as a peak eighth-grade alchemist, he gritted his teeth and said, "What I am about to say is a clan secret. If possible... I hope Mr. Xiao Yan will not spread it."

confidential?

Upon hearing these two words, Xiao Yan's expression changed slightly. 'A secret operation requiring four Dou Sheng and dozens of Dou Zun to mobilize? Could it be that they intend to annihilate a portion of the split Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan?'

“Besides the four people present, no one else will know this news,” Xiao Yan said with a serious expression.

"That's good……"
