Upon seeing Mo Tianxing slowly retreating, Xiao Yan also smiled slightly. However, the Buddha’s Wrath Fire Lotus in his hand did not dissipate at all. Instead, it became more resplendent under the urging of the Dou Qi within him. Seizing the opportunity, Little Healer Immortal flashed and appeared beside Xiao Yan, protecting him behind her. Her cool gaze locked onto Mo Tianxing as he retreated. Words from such old foxes were not to be trusted in the slightest. Nevertheless, under the watchful eyes of Xiao Yan and company, Mo Tianxing indeed did not dare play any tricks. He obediently stepped back a certain distance before scanning the surrounding sky. Not finding Mo Ya and Qi Shan, his expression slightly changed. His gaze darted around anxiously, and moments later, his figure moved, transforming into a streak of light that darted towards where Mo Ya had fallen earlier. About two minutes later, Mo Tianxing finally carried a person with a withered and disheveled aura, rising slowly into the air.
“Hehe, this little girl certainly doesn’t pull her punches. But I’ve always intended to teach this boy a lesson. Today just happens to be a prelude to his punishment…” Grasping Mo Ya and discovering that he still had breath, Mo Tianxing felt reassured and said to Zi Yan with a smile. Although his face seemed cheerful, rage and gloominess lurked deep in his eyes. If it weren’t for his wariness of the Little Healer Immortal and the Buddha’s Wrath Fire Lotus in Xiao Yan’s hand, he would have directly rushed over to kill Zi Yan.
Xiao Yan smiled, seemingly oblivious to the malicious intent hidden in Mo Tianxing’s gaze. He whistled, and soon, the numerous strong individuals from the Xiao Sect and the Canaan Academy quickly broke free from their entanglements and rushed over to Xiao Yan’s location.
“Are you alright?” Xiao Li asked urgently as soon as he appeared in front of Xiao Yan, as if afraid that Xiao Yan had been injured.
Xiao Yan shook his head with a smile. Seeing that the group was somewhat unstable after the battle, he waved his hand and said, “The Black Emperor Sect is no longer involved. With Han Feng and the experts from the Fiery Magic Valley, there is no need to fear anymore.”
Xiao Li chuckled, then looked at the Fire Lotus in Xiao Yan’s hand, which emitted an energy that made him uneasy, and laughed, “You really do have some tricks up your sleeve. You managed to scare Mo Tianxing away without even attacking.”
Xiao Yan smiled and replied, “That old man is afraid that I will use the Buddha’s Wrath Fire Lotus to disturb him, giving the Little Healer Immortal the chance to strike. Otherwise, this Fire Lotus alone would not be enough to startle that old fox.”
“Did you get the item?” Xiao Li nodded slightly and asked in a tone only Xiao Yan could hear.
Xiao Yan smiled softly, and under Xiao Li’s excited gaze, he subtly nodded.
While Xiao Yan and Xiao Li were conversing, Han Feng’s cold voice suddenly echoed across the sky and reached Mo Tianxing’s ears. “Chief Mo, don’t let that boy’s trick fool you. Your actions today have already offended him. Even if he doesn’t find trouble with you today, he will definitely come for you in the future. How will you deal with them then by yourself?”
Mo Tianxing frowned at Han Feng’s words, then said neither hot nor coldly, “This is my concern, and you need not worry. Your promise is tempting, but it is based on the premise that one still has life to enjoy. So, you’d better pray for your own safety.”
With his shrewdness, Mo Tianxing knew that his strength was only on par with the Little Healer Immortal. If another explosive force like Xiao Yan joined, he would surely lose. Such a loss might cost him his life. In the face of life and temptation, the choice was clear.
Mo Tianxing’s words caused Han Feng’s face to twitch in anger. After cursing the old bastard in his heart, he also pulled away from Su Qian’s grip. He was very aware that if Mo Tianxing truly let go, he would have no choice but to flee. After all, he alone could not fight against two Battle Sect. And nearby, there was also Xiao Yan, ready to unleash the terrifying Lotus at any moment. Continuing to tangle here would only lead to death. This much, Han Feng, who had survived in the Black-Corner Region for so long, understood clearly. No matter what, his life was the most important.
“Xiao Yan, don’t think you can rest easy just because you have the Bodhi Body Saliva in your hands. I won’t give up. Moreover, you killed three elders of the Fiery Magic Valley today, and Elder Diaomao will surely not let you off. By then, even with the support of the Canaan Academy, you will hardly escape death!” Retreating, Su Qian quickly created a safe distance between himself and Xiao Yan. His gaze swept around, and a sinister smile flashed in his eyes as he shouted fiercely.
Han Feng’s shout was not too concealed, so those in the mountains heard it instantly, bursting into whispers.
“The Bodhi Body Saliva is in Xiao Yan’s hands?” “Xiao Yan? The leader of the Xiao Sect?” “Hehe, the Bodhi Body Saliva, such a good thing. To take it away safely, you need more than just a little skill…”
Hearing the whispers and sensing the greedy gazes from all directions, Xiao Yan frowned and gave Han Feng a cold look. The latter had clearly intended to spread this information, turning them into everyone’s target.
“Xiao Yan, leave quickly. Once this news spreads, it will attract many greedy eyes. We can only return to the Canaan Academy in safety,” Su Qian appeared beside Xiao Yan, his face grave.
“Who is Elder Diaomao?” Xiao Yan asked, a little puzzled.
“The founder of the Fiery Magic Valley and one of the true elders of the Black-Corner Region, even older than Mo Tianxing. He could be considered among the same generation of powerhouses as our Dean. Of course, his strength is far from matching the Dean’s, but from what I know, he should be at least a five or six-star Battle Sect,” Su Qian’s face slightly changed when mentioning the name, hesitating before speaking solemnly.
“A five or six-star Battle Sect…” Hearing this, Xiao Yan’s face also changed. A powerhouse of that level might not even be harmed by the Buddha’s Wrath Fire Lotus fused with his two types of strange flames.
“I didn’t expect the Fiery Magic Valley to have such a powerhouse…” Xiao Yan frowned deeply and sighed.
“Don’t worry too much. Elder Diaomao often secludes himself, sometimes for decades. Unless something major involving the survival of the Fiery Magic Valley occurs, he rarely appears. Furthermore, even if he does, that old man might not dare to do anything to our Canaan Academy. He has always been fearful of the Dean.”
Seeing Xiao Yan’s concerned look, Su Qian comforted him with a smile.
“But that mysterious Dean, who is more unreliable than Elder Diaomao, hasn’t shown his face! In all these years at the Canaan Academy, I’ve never even seen what he looks like…”
Xiao Yan couldn’t help but laugh bitterly. “Cough… Well, the Dean is indeed mysterious. He loves to travel the world. Actually, I haven’t seen him in over ten years either.”
Su Qian coughed dryly, wanting to explain but ending up complaining slightly. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Xiao Yan could only shake his head helplessly. He cast a chilly glance at Han Feng in the distance and nodded slightly, saying, “Forget it, let’s just go back to the Canaan Academy.”
Although Xiao Yan wished to have the Little Healer Immortal and Elder Su Qian join forces to kill Han Feng right now, it was not the right time. After all, killing Han Feng would severely drain the Little Healer Immortal and Su Qian. Without their combat power, even Xiao Yan would not be confident in bringing the Bodhi Body Saliva back to the Canaan Academy.
Seeing Xiao Yan did not intend to fight Han Feng now, Su Qian heaved a sigh of relief. He had fought with Han Feng earlier and knew how slippery and cunning the latter was. Even if they could kill him, they would suffer casualties. In such a situation where everyone was eagerly watching, any loss would trigger the greed in others’ hearts, leading to endless troubles.
Xiao Yan waved his hand lightly, and the strong members of the Xiao Sect and the Canaan Academy gathered around. Vigilant, they watched their surroundings before rushing towards the Canaan Academy under Xiao Yan’s direction. Concerned about potential ambushes, Xiao Yan kept the Buddha’s Wrath Fire Lotus above his head, like a fiery lamp, suppressing the greed in many people’s hearts.
Xiao Yan and company’s departure caused quite a stir. Many greedy eyes lingered, and eventually, many followed quietly at a distance…
Standing in the sky, Han Feng’s icy gaze watched Xiao Yan and the others vanish. Moments later, he laughed coldly and raised his palm, summoning three lifeless corpses to hover by his side. Scanning the bodies of the deceased, Han Feng’s eyes grew even more menacing. He grinned, revealing his white teeth, and muttered, “My good junior apprentice brother, I hope you bring the Bodhi Body Saliva safely to the Canaan Academy. When that time comes, I’ll have a way to invite Elder Diaomao, and then… it will be the end of the Xiao Sect!”
“So, don’t disappoint your senior brother!” By the end, a chilling, menacing grin appeared on Han Feng’s face.
