All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Wang Gan refined the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame to consolidate his cultivation, and then went into seclusion for several months.

Along with this, Xiao Qi also refined all the six-star Dou Zong within her body, successfully breaking through to the four-star Dou Zong realm.

Then, following Wang Gan's orders, Xiao Qi gathered the remaining snake people and subjugated them all.

Although the remaining members of the snake-people tribe knew that Xiao Qi in front of them was no longer their Medusa Queen, the suppression of their bloodline still made them unable to resist in the slightest.

Wang Gan looked at the lotus seat of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, where the two wisps of fire he had left behind came from the Bone Spirit Cold Fire and the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, respectively.

"By then, Xiao Yan will have exhausted all his strength to break into the snake-people tribe, only to find that I have already gotten my hands on the strange fire."

"His expression must have been quite something."

Wang Gan's lips curled into a smile.

He has already eaten the meat, so there's no reason not to give Xiao Yan some soup. The two sub-flames of the strange fire, once refined by Xiao Yan, will be many times more powerful than ordinary beast fire, even if they are not as strong as the original strange fire.

the other side,
Xiao Yan, who had also left the Xiao family and was preparing to enter the desert region, suddenly showed a thoughtful expression.

"Ah!"

Xiao Yan sneezed angrily, scratched his head,
"What's going on? I have a chill down my spine..."

"It's like we're being targeted by someone!"

Xiao Yan's expression was somewhat grim, and he had a bad feeling.

"Could it be that despicable woman, Nalan Yanran!?"

The old medicine doctor said quietly,

"I think he might be a good mentor of yours."

Xiao Yan sighed.

"I don't know where my master is now, he just said we'll definitely meet again."

"Speaking of which, Nalan Yanran has already left with the Canaan Academy team, and I estimate that her progress will be rapid. As for me, I can't join the Canaan Academy because of the Burning Technique."

With the guidance of Yao Lao and the pure source left by Wang Gan, Xiao Yan has broken through to the nine-star Dou Zhe level in the blink of an eye, at an astonishing speed!

They left Nalan Yanran far behind, and even Xiao Xun'er's cultivation speed was inferior.

After leaving the Xiao family, Xiao Yan continued to make rapid progress, breaking through to the level of a four-star Dou Shi, much faster than in the original story!
However, Xiao Yan was about to face another problem—his Burning Technique was too low-level!

The initial level of the Burning Technique is only the low-level Yellow Rank. If it cannot evolve by absorbing different flames, it may be difficult to even break through to the Dou Ling realm, let alone the more distant Dou Wang and Dou Huang realms.

Even though Canaan Academy has abundant resources and a perfect platform, Xiao Yan had no choice but to refuse and instead pursue the mysterious and elusive opportunity of the Strange Fire.

"Don't be discouraged. We already know that there are faint signs of strange fire coming from within the Tagor Desert."

"As long as I can get close to the approximate range of the strange fire, with my current soul perception and familiarity with it, it will definitely not escape my grasp!"

The old doctor said encouragingly,

Now, with the help of the Pure Source, he has almost restored his soul to its peak. Although it is still without a source, the power he has drawn upon is undoubtedly much stronger than in the original work!

If it were to possess Xiao Yan's body, it could even mobilize the power of a Dou Zun level for a short period of time!

"And if all else fails, I can always find a few fire-type demonic beasts for you to absorb their beast fire, which will alleviate your immediate crisis." The old man spoke confidently, clearly very confident.

Because of the butterfly effect caused by Wang Gan, Yun Yun did not go to the Monster Mountain Range to seek the Purple Spirit Crystal, and Xiao Yan did not obtain the beast fire from the source of the Purple Crystal, but he still obtained the original opportunity to use the flying fighting technique and met Little Fairy Doctor.

"is it?"

Xiao Yan's expression shifted, and he seemed to gain some confidence.

"I've heard that Queen Medusa, whose beauty and prestige surpass the entire Gama Empire, is a fire-type Dou Huang powerhouse!"

"She's a snake-woman, probably a top-tier demon beast. If we can suppress her, we might be able to obtain a considerable amount of beast fire!"

The old man's lips twitched.
"You little brat, are you trying to get the beast fire? I don't even want to call you out on it!"

Because Yao Lao's soul power was much stronger than in the original story, he sensed the unusual activity in the center of the desert not long after he entered the desert!
"It's the fluctuation of a strange fire! It's not far from the center of the desert!"

"And it's a powerful different flame with a pretty high ranking! You're lucky, kid!"

The old doctor looked excited as he sensed the rich aura of the strange fire!
"The aura of this strange fire... something feels off..."

"Never mind, Xiao Yan, you go explore the center of the desert first!"

Xiao Yan nodded, his face also showing excitement, and they crossed the long desert region to arrive at the Snake People tribe.

"This is."

Xiao Yan used the flying combat skill he had acquired by chance during his journey to fly all the way.
Finally, we arrived above the fortress. My eyes swept over the enormous tribe that stretched as far as the eye could see, and I was slightly awestruck.

On the massive city wall, which was tens of meters high, countless arrow towers were densely packed together. The pale purple arrow tips shone through the towers, giving off a cold, eerie luster under the moonlight.

"This is the legendary snake-people tribe that can stand up to the Gama Empire head-on? Calling it a snake-people nation wouldn't be an exaggeration!"

Looking at the formidable defenses that resembled an inescapable net, Xiao Yan couldn't help but wipe away a cold sweat.

With such defensive strength, even a Grand Master or even a Spirit Master would likely be riddled with bullets in a short time if they were not careful.

However, although the fortress's defenses were extremely formidable, what surprised Xiao Yan even more was that a huge passage had been forcibly created within this heavily fortified defensive perimeter, and all the arrow towers near the passage had been smashed to pieces by a powerful force.

"What level of expert has come here?!"

Xiao Yan gasped.
"Such an aura is at least at the Dou Huang level."

The old apothecary keenly sensed something amiss; the area looked as if it had been scorched by flames.
"It's probably a battle caused by the strange fire, involving Queen Medusa and other powerful figures..."

"Now it seems the most difficult situation has arisen; the Strange Flame has likely fallen into Queen Medusa's hands!"

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, his expression resolute.
"But since things have come to this, we have no choice but to go in and investigate!"

"And perhaps Queen Medusa is not in good condition after the great battle!"

The old doctor also deeply agreed.

"Indeed, if it were a battle of equal strength, and given that Queen Medusa lacks experience in skillfully controlling the strange fire, she would likely be seriously injured by it, which would be an opportunity for us."

"Besides, even if you are exposed, I can still lead you away calmly, and even forcibly seize Queen Medusa's strange fire!" (End of this chapter)
