Su Shang had already pressed herself against Jiang Yan's back, wishing she could turn herself into a paper man. She bit Jiang Yan's clothes and muttered:
"It can't see me, it can't see me, it can't see me..."
This kind of behavior of Ye Gong loving dragons made Jiang Yan laugh and cry.
Are you guys really that good? Isn't it just Sui Yang? This thing in the shield has been gnawing on me for ages. Do you think I'm scared?
And this one in front of me doesn't look good, does it? Whether it's the color of the flame or the power of the flame, it's nowhere near my sister's. I'm afraid the fire is too small to use it for grilling meat. What's going on? Is she malnourished?
Just as he was wondering how this will-o'-the-wisp looked different from his sister, he saw that Gui Naifen had fully recovered driven by the traffic, and even chased after Sui Yang named "Tail Uncle" for an interview.
Shi Wangsi wanted Gui Naifen to dispel the rumors instead of adding fuel to the fire. Of course, he would not allow her to start a live broadcast for her Sui Yang debut. However, as a hush money, Jackdaw told Gui Naifen everything he knew and fully explained the current situation.
It turns out the Ten Kings didn't know why most of these Sui Yang had fled here after escaping the Furnace of Creation. However, that didn't stop them from planning to construct a "Shape-Binding and Evil-Repelling Formation" to seal them all away. Once the Furnace of Creation was repaired, they would be locked away and continue to function as a perpetual motion machine. The scene of demons rampaging during Gui Naifen's last visit was a reminiscent of the vision that drove back the large number of Sui Yang during the formation's initial construction.
However, this preferential treatment only lasted for so long. After informing the team of the dangers of Sui Yang, the rumor-busting team was unsurprisingly escorted out of the cave by Huo Huo. However, just as they were halfway there, a sudden gust of wind blew up, and a strange, thick fog spread everywhere. By the time Jiang Yan unleashed his flames to illuminate the surroundings, he discovered that everyone around them had vanished without a trace.
Huh?What about people?
Sui Yang is so powerful? He can kidnap someone silently from his side?
Jiang Yan quickly turned around and ran back the way he came, trying to find his companions. However, even though he was not far from parting with the two judges, Jiang Yan found that he could not reach the end of the road. It was obvious that he was trapped in some kind of magic array.
It really is that damned magic formation!
Even though Jiang Yan's strength has improved by leaps and bounds over the years, knowledge is something that you gain through hard work, and there is no such thing as rapid progress. Even though Jiang Yan has been studying in his spare time, he is still only in the starting stage.
Even if this magic circle successfully trapped everyone, it would only be able to sneak attack its own companions, so its strength must be very limited. But when he thought that even such a weak magic circle still tricked him, Jiang Yan's anger flared up.
Magic array? Let me show you what Sam's Array Breaking Method is!
After taking a deep breath, Jiang Yan stomped his left foot hard, and flew up into the air. He kicked the wall that trapped him with a flaming kick! Then came the second kick, the third kick, and the fourth kick!
When studying Sam's battle footage, Jiang Yan's favorite thing was Sam's way of solving problems. No matter what kind of barrier, magic circle, military force, or fortress, he could just kick out a pool of lava and everything would be solved. Since he had the same opportunity, how could he not show off?
Ghost wall? There is no wall, so what are you trying to do?
Amidst a chorus of explosions and roars, Jiang Yan's illusion shattered, returning to reality in an instant. Suiyuan, by then, had become a scene of demonic chaos. In front of Jiang Yan, Sui Yang, shaped like an eyeball, stared wide-eyed, as if he had seen a ghost.
"Who are you? How can you break the formation like this?"
However, just as he was speaking, the will-o'-the-wisp eyeball trembled violently, then turned around and began to flee like a rocket, screaming as he fled:
"Help! Don't eat me! It was Hui Yan who did it! It really wasn't me!"
Of course Jiang Yan would not let it run away, so he quickly used the flame to propel himself off the ground and pounced on it.
But this will-o'-the-wisp didn't even have mass, constantly changing direction in mid-air like a bouncy ball. How could Jiang Yan possibly catch up? Even though he tried his best to speed up and change his direction, he was still easily outmatched.
The monk may escape, but the temple cannot. Since he couldn't catch this guy, Jiang Yan decided to capture a few of his accomplices and question them first. However, before he could turn around to look at the other Sui Yangs, who were either floating in the air or hanging somewhere, he found that wherever he went, their reactions were exactly the same as the eyeball's. They all wished they had eight pairs of wings, screaming and running away without a trace. In the blink of an eye, the area around Jiang Yan became a clean "ghost-free zone", with only a few small phosphorescent lights left.
This...who can fly over a ball of fire!
Helpless Jiang Yan had to take out his shield and ask for help from his sister:
"What should I do now, sister?"
Tingyun, who almost burst out laughing at Sam's breaking of the formation, finally calmed down and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, the little guy who turned this place into a magic circle just wants to capture your friends as puppets. Nothing will happen."
"Rather than all that, Xiao Jiang, take advantage of this opportunity to act alone and help your sister! See those little floating flames? Just hit them with your shield! Collect as many as you can, and I'll let you know when the number is enough."
Jiang Yan was stunned by his sister's abstract request.
Huh? What's going on? Do we need to eat first and then do anything?
Oops, I've been harassed by the Immortal Boat people! : Chapter 71: Destruction of Three Views
Looking at these little will-o'-the-wisp fires floating on the trees, in the air, and on the roadside, although he didn't understand what these things were used for, out of trust in Tingyun, Jiang Yan still began to collect them carefully.
Unlike the Suiyang group who fled for their lives upon seeing Jiang Yan, these small flames seemed like ordinary phosphorescent fire, completely devoid of any consciousness. Even when Jiang Yan rushed to the side, he did not make any move to dodge. He simply hit it with his shield and was sucked into it by Tingyun.
However, Tingyun's appetite was obviously not small. Even though Jiang Yan collected a lot of food, he still wasn't "full".
Jiang Yan had no objection to helping her sister with some snacks. After all, ever since returning to Luofu, she'd been starving nine times out of three days to avoid being caught, only able to lick herself when she was ravenous. It was better to help her with a small flame than to wait for her to burn someone when she was starving!
As for the safety of his companions, Jiang Yan wasn't particularly worried. It wasn't that he trusted his sister's morals—as the great villain of the universe, she had no morals at all—but Jiang Yan trusted her picky tastes.
Watching your companions die? In this guy's words: It will affect the taste!
However, after grabbing them for a while, Jiang Yan also felt a little curious. If so many ghost fires exploded from the Furnace of Creation, he would not be surprised at all, but this was not the first scene. Where did these small flames come from?
"What are these little things? Pure Sui Yang Fire?"
Since his sister was a ghost fire fox spirit, Jiang Yan was naturally very interested in Sui Yang's information. He often read the think tank of Xianzhou in his spare time, but there was no record that Sui Yang could split out this pure flame without intelligence or consciousness.
If that's the case, wouldn't it be great to raise a few Suiyangs, just like raising sheep, and regularly pluck their wool as snacks for my sister?
However, upon hearing Jiang Yan's question, Ting Yun didn't use his usual sweet, sentimental tone. Instead, he responded with a feeling of nostalgia, like an immortal who had truly experienced thousands of years.
"Yes and no."
"My Sui Yang clan was originally pure energy creatures. Initially, we didn't have human emotions. It wasn't until we came into contact with humans that we were infected with the disease called human nature. These little flames are the smallest fragments of our Sui Yang that cannot even contain human nature."
"Without humanity, there's naturally no self. But in the final analysis, these little flames are the true pure original form of our race. It's us... Sigh."
When talking about the changes or even decline of his own clan, even Tingyun, the great devil of the universe, was filled with regrets.
However, Jiang Yan really couldn't understand this strange aesthetic of energy creatures.
How is being a flame any better than being life?
If you want, I can always buy you a lighter so you can work inside!
However, Jiang Yan certainly didn't dare to say anything about being licked until his whole body was itchy. He could only continue to catch cookies for Tingyun. After catching almost a whole circle around Suiyuan, the glutton in the shield was finally satisfied:
"That's enough, Xiao Jiang."
After saying that, he spit out a huge ball of Suiyang fire from the shield, and in the blink of an eye it jumped into Jiang Yan's arm, scaring Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan felt relieved until he realized that the flame had gone silent after entering his body. However, a question also arose:
"What is this flame for? To store food?"
Jiang Yan had no idea why this behavior of making a whole thing up and not eating it was possible.
Wasn't she looking for a pseudonym to disguise her identity? Why didn't she just eat these little flames?
Looking at Jiang Yan's confused expression, Ting Yun said with a wicked smile:
"Hmm... It's hard to explain from a human perspective. Let me think about it. You can think of her as another sister of yours, or as your child, Xiao Jiang and I. Are you happy?"
Such shocking content instantly frightened Jiang Yan to death:
"Wait, wait, explain it to me!"
No matter how much he liked Tingyun, Jiang Yan couldn't accept the sudden appearance of a sister and child. Who could stand that?
"It's all your fault, Xiao Jiang. Since you don't like Huanlong, I, your sister, have no choice but to find a way to stop being Huanlong!" Tingyun said lightly.
"Wait, what does this have to do with having a baby?" Although Jiang Yan was touched by Tingyun's thoughts, this solution obviously did not exist for him.
"Come, Xiao Jiang, look at me and take a picture with the jade." Tingyun did not answer Jiang Yan's question, but made an inexplicable instruction.
"???"
Out of trust in Tingyun, even though he didn't understand, Jiang Yan still took a photo.
Looking at the concerned and worried expressions in the photos, Jiang Yan finally understood what was wrong with his supposed "impersonation" plan:
Even if the impersonation was flawless, how could he possibly get along with Tingyun as a stranger and keep it a secret from everyone on the Immortal Boat for long? Wouldn't his tricks be exposed in front of those old foxes?
"So, this newly created guy will be a bait to attract attention?"
However, Tingyun was extremely dissatisfied with Jiang Yan's statement:
"What do you mean by 'newly molded creature'? That's too much! This is a pure little flame, a replica of my feelings for you, mixed with the power seeds I took from you, Little Jiang, and finally created a new life. You can say it's the crystallization of my life and yours, Little Jiang!"
"Didn't you create it yourself in this way? How can it happen again?" Jiang Yan's three views were almost destroyed. Is Sui Yang's circle so chaotic?
However, the malicious Tingyun seemed to enjoy tasting Jiang Yan's tangled mood. Instead of comforting Jiang Yan, he added fuel to the fire and said:
"Who told you to be so delicious, Xiao Jiang? If I'm willing, all I have to do is wave my hand, and all the Suiyang here will be willing to become a part of me and be your sister!"
When Jiang Yan thought about his sister merging with that big-headed old man and a bunch of monsters with different personalities, and then undergoing crazy mitosis, giving him an endless number of sisters and children, his eyes went dark and he almost knelt down to Ting Yun on the spot:
"Suiyang's style of play is still too advanced for me. Please don't do this. I beg you."
Seeing that his brother was almost going crazy because of his teasing, Tingyun regained his serious tone and said proudly:
"Don't worry, with just them, how could they be qualified to be devoured by me?"
After her explanation, Jiang Yan realized that although Sui Yang is a kind of bee-shaped creature that can freely gather and disperse, after being contaminated by human nature, each Sui Yang has its own thoughts, and it is difficult to form an unbreakable whole as easily as it did ten thousand years ago.
Although Tingyun was only a fragment, she possessed the foresight and destiny of an envoy. Even if she could forcefully swallow these small Sui Yangs and slowly fuse them into a whole, how could she value such a small amount of power that was barely enough to fill a gap between her teeth? If she truly wanted to devour it, she would have swallowed the Creation Furnace whole while lurking in Luofu.
"For thousands of years, there has only been the fragmented Great Suiyang. How could there be a powerful being who was pieced together?"
"Power alone is meaningless; destiny is everything. Xiao Jiang, you should be careful too. Don't learn from those fools!"
Full of disdain for his useless fellows, Tingyun taught Jiang Yan earnestly, but Jiang Yan just nodded frantically.
——As long as you no longer undergo mitosis, sister, you are right. Just put away your magical powers!
Oops, we're being harassed by the Immortal Boat people! : Chapter 72: Hug together for warmth
No matter how much he complained and grumbled, Su Shang, Gui Naifen and the little judge were still in the hands of the enemy. Jiang Yan could only temporarily carry the little guy in his arms who had not yet "hatched" and given birth to himself and continue to search for the trace of Sui Yang.
Even with Tingyun's guidance, Jiang Yan easily cracked all the magic arrays. However, even after circling Suiyuan for several days, including the moment he caught the little flame, he still hadn't seen even a shadow of Suiyang, leaving him completely confused.
Oh my god, where did all these guys go?
However, at this moment, in a hidden corner of Suiyuan, all the Suiyang who stayed in Suiyuan, including Tail, were hiding in the barrier and trembling. And the big eyeball that Jiang Yan saw at the beginning was cursing:
"Hui Yan, if you said you wanted to challenge General Luofu, then go ahead and do it. Why are you making such a big fuss? Now you've attracted the illusion..."
Before he could even say anything, three or five Suiyangs pounced on him:
"Fuyan, are you going to die? How dare you say her name so close to her? You want to die, but we don't!"
For the nearly immortal Sui Yang clan, there is nothing more terrifying than their veteran brethren.
No matter how powerful the enemy is, they can be smashed into countless small flames and then sealed up. After hundreds or thousands of years, everyone will have a chance to escape.
But if you are captured by the old-fashioned Sui Yang, all your emotions will be wiped out and only the flame will remain, and you will become someone else's snack.
So after feeling the breath that Huanlong released, these fragments that were burning in the wildfire were so scared that they were fuming.
Apart from Emperor Sui, who can beat her?
You know, even if Liao Yuan himself saw Huanlong, he would probably want to conjure up a hundred pairs of wings and escape without a trace, not to mention these fragments.
If we get caught, won’t we all be melted away in one gulp?
Hui Yan, who had been desperately casting a barrier to isolate the aura, saw his companions frightened to the point that their flames were almost extinguished, and shouted in a cowardly manner:
"What's wrong with her? At worst, we can just fight her! The entire Sui Garden is already my territory. I don't believe she can devour us all before she reaches her fusion limit!"
This attitude of using the toughest tone to say the most cowardly words did not give any confidence to his companions. Instead, several little Suiyang suggested with trembling voices:
"If all else fails, we'll all swarm towards the boundary gate. As many as we can escape will be the best."
However, this sentence made Hui Yan feel like he had stepped on his tail, and he became anxious.
After all, as the most powerful fragment here, Huanlong may not bother to eat these little flames, but he definitely can't escape.
"Escape? We are all fragments of Liaoyuan. Don't we know her reputation? Are you trying to compete with her? Do you represent the stupidity of Liaoyuan?"
"If you're afraid of death, then just let me merge you into a whole new existence. After this fight, I promise I'll split all of you out if I can't stand it any longer!"
"Wait, that's not right!"
When Fuyan heard Huiyan's words, an idea suddenly occurred to him:
"If she was in her complete form, why would she bother trying to capture us? Wouldn't we be sucked in with just one spell? What's the point of this idiot's barrier? That guy, could he be just a fragment?"
However, its speculation only resulted in the tail's angry response:
"Nonsense! If it's her real body, this shabby garden wouldn't be able to stop her! What about the fragments? Can you defeat her? Without the Molten Torch and the Rhino Flame, what's the point of relying on a mere powerless Fierce Flame?"
"Empty power? Some guys who can only talk big don't even have the power now!" Hui Yan angrily retorted without any politeness.
The relationship between the tail, Huiyan and Fuyan is not good. After Liaoyuan split, the most powerful fragments are the tail representing Liaoyuan's arrogance, the molten torch of Liaoyuan's skills, the rhinoceros flame of Liaoyuan's wisdom, the Fuyan of Liaoyuan's conspiracy, and Huiyan of Liaoyuan's racial talent.
