Gazing at the white bone scroll in his hand, a tinge of joy that could not be concealed flickered in Xiao Yan’s eyes. He had long desired the “Three Beasts’ Wildland Decree” practiced by the three elders of the Mu Lan clan. Unexpectedly, he managed to obtain it today—a truly delightful surprise indeed.
Carefully unfurling the white bone scroll, Xiao Yan’s gaze swept over it, and shortly after, he frowned slightly.
“What is it?” Medusa, seeing his expression, inquired.
“Ai, although this is indeed the Three Beasts’ Wildland Decree, it’s only one part. According to the text, the Three Beasts’ Wildland Decree is divided into three parts, and this is just one of them. Even with it, there’s no real effect,” Xiao Yan shook his head, lamenting with regret.
Upon hearing this, Medusa hesitated slightly before taking out two storage rings from her pocket and passing them to Xiao Yan. “These are the storage rings of the other two elders from the Mu Lan clan. Look through them to see if you can find the remaining two parts.”
“You took care of those two old guys too?” Seeing the storage rings in Medusa’s hands, Xiao Yan said in surprise.
“Mm.” Medusa nodded lightly, as if she hadn’t killed two peak Battle Emperors but rather two unimportant chickens.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly. There was indeed a gap between him and her…
Reaching out to take the two storage rings, Xiao Yan’s soul power delved into them. With the souls of the three Mu Lan elders already perished, their residual soul imprints were easily shattered, allowing Xiao Yan’s soul power to enter smoothly and scan through them quickly.
As his soul power scanned, a surge of overwhelming joy suddenly welled up in Xiao Yan’s eyes. With a wave of his hand, two more white bone scrolls appeared, both bearing the same blood-red characters: “Three Beasts’ Wildland Decree!”
Carefully unrolling the two white bone scrolls, Xiao Yan read them meticulously. After a while, he burst into laughter, stowing the three white bone scrolls into his storage ring. Today’s gains were beyond his expectations.
Seeing Xiao Yan’s smile, Medusa’s cheeks also displayed a faint smile. She then took out another golden scroll from her storage ring and handed it to Xiao Yan. “This is from Yan Luotian. It should be one of the Jinyin Sect’s secret techniques. If you master it, it will benefit you greatly.”
Taking the golden scroll in slight surprise, Xiao Yan slowly unrolled it, and several shining golden characters immediately caught his eye: “Sky Goose Nine Wings.”
“Flight battle technique?” Seeing these words, Xiao Yan was momentarily taken aback. As a Battle Emperor, ordinary flight battle techniques were far inferior to the speed of his dou qi wings. At his level, flight battle techniques seemed of little use.
“This is not an ordinary flight battle technique. Remember the substantial, massive wings of Yan Luotian? He cultivated this technique. The Jinyin Sect excels in speed. If that guy really needed to escape, even I wouldn’t be able to catch him. This is all thanks to the Sky Goose Nine Wings.”
Seeing the contemplation in Xiao Yan’s eyes, Medusa explained softly, “Actually, it’s more like a method for crafting flight battle techniques.”
“Crafting flight battle techniques?” Hearing this, a flash of surprise crossed Xiao Yan’s eyes. Flight battle techniques were quite rare on the continent, and their crafting methods were mostly lost. To think that the Jinyin Sect still possessed one. If what Medusa said was true, the value of this scroll would certainly rival the Three Beasts’ Wildland Decree. Moreover, in terms of rank, the Sky Goose Nine Wings were clearly superior to his Purple Cloud Wings, not to mention in terms of speed.
“Holding this scroll, Xiao Yan looked at Medusa and asked, “This thing… does it have some significant effect for you as well?”
Hesitating slightly, Medusa nodded. “If high-grade materials are used, the crafted flight wings will indeed benefit me. But if ordinary materials are used, the effect will be minimal.”
Xiao Yan smiled and put the scroll back into his storage ring. “In that case, I’ll keep it for now. Once I gather some materials, I’ll make you a beneficial set of flight wings first.”
Medusa smiled gently and nodded slightly.
“Since everything is settled, let’s return to the Black Mountain Fortress. I’m sure Brother and the others are anxious,” Xiao Yan turned his head and smiled at the group behind him, which included Hai Bodong and the others.
Naturally, Hai Bodong and the others had no objections. Despite their discontent, the snake people did not dare to show any dissatisfaction in front of Medusa. However, some among them muttered to themselves, “Damn brat, wait until our great commander returns from the Tager Desert; then we’ll see if you dare stay by the Queen’s side.”
Unaware of these thoughts, Xiao Yan waved his hand and flew towards the Black Mountain Fortress, followed closely by a large group of strong men.
Xiao Yan and the others’ safe return naturally gave Xiao Ding a great sense of relief. Learning that all targets had been eliminated, he showed a barely concealed joy. The removal of these troubling adversaries would grant the Flame Alliance a much-needed period of rest and recuperation.
Without Yan Luotian and the three Mu Lan elders, the Jinyin Sect and the Mu Lan Valley, though deeply hating the Flame Alliance, no longer dared to mobilize such a formidable force. In contrast, the Flame Alliance, not only had Xiao Yan, who could confront a Battle Sect, but also Medusa, an authentic Battle Sect. In terms of peak-level strength, they had already surpassed the Jinyin Sect and the Mu Lan Valley. With more intermediate-level strongmen, they could surpass these major sects in every aspect.
Though neither the Jinyin Sect nor the Mu Lan Valley were top-tier forces in the vast northwest region, they were significantly stronger than the Yunlan Sect of old. Successfully dealing such a heavy blow to these formerly untouchable entities demonstrated the might of the Flame Alliance.
Given time, Xiao Yan was confident that the Flame Alliance would become one of the strongest forces in the northwest, capable of resisting even the Soul Palace.
This sudden assassination left the Jinyin Sect and the Mu Lan Valley in shock. According to reports from the Flame Alliance’s spies, on the third day after the successful assassination, the elite fighters from both sects arrived. Discovering that their most powerful fighters had been eliminated, they were left stunned, as if struck by lightning.
The loss of Yan Luotian and the three Mu Lan elders, as Xiao Yan and the others had anticipated, prevented the arriving elites from taking any further action despite their anger. They fell into a deadlock, which was broken when the Poison Sect unexpectedly announced their withdrawal from the alliance.
The Jinyin Sect and the Mu Lan Valley were highly displeased with the Poison Sect’s move. However, without Yan Luotian and the three Mu Lan elders, they were no match for the Poison Sect in overall strength. Despite their fury, they could only retreat reluctantly, returning to their empire in a state of disarray. How their sects would fare upon their return was their own concern.
With the retreat of the three sects, the great turmoil that had threatened the entire Jia Ma Empire finally dissipated. The newly formed Flame Alliance firmly established itself in the hearts of every citizen, replacing the Yunlan Sect entirely.
With the end of the war, the Jia Ma Empire’s borders gradually stabilized. As promised, the empire allocated a cool area near the Magic Beast Mountains to the snake people. This gesture of goodwill significantly reduced the snake people’s mistrust of the Jia Ma Empire. Over time, the snake people might become a powerful force within the empire, significantly enhancing its strength. Additionally, given the relationship between Xiao Yan and Medusa, the Flame Alliance might gain immeasurable benefits!
