Breaking the Masked Man

As the words fell.

The man in black had already disappeared from the spot. He had come here to find Yao Yan, no, he should be called Hun Yan. Now that he had found him, he could report to Lord Hun Xuzi. Moreover, the news that Yao Yan was still alive seemed quite interesting. According to the other party, Hun Yan seemed to be planning to follow in Lord Hun Xuzi's footsteps.

They truly are a master and apprentice duo.

The man in black was none other than Mo Yu, the Nine Heavens Venerable of the Soul Palace, whose strength was at the peak of the Seven Star Dou Zun. Therefore, he knew a lot about the Soul Clan and had met with Hun Xuzi several times. Thus, the task of searching for Yao Yan fell to him. Having obtained accurate information, he dared not be negligent. He returned to the secret room and crushed the communication jade token that Hun Xuzi had given him.

"Click~"

As the jade tablet shattered, a wisp of black flame instantly appeared. At the same time, the space seemed to be swallowed up, revealing a vortex-like opening. The next moment, a phantom figure surrounded by black flames appeared in front of Mo Yu.

"Found it?" Hun Xuzi slightly raised his eyes, his voice indifferent and without any emotion.

"My lord, this is the jade token sent by the young master." Mo Yu nodded and respectfully handed the jade token to Hun Xuzi.

Hun Xuzi swept his soul power across the jade tablet and read all the information. His eyes flickered with emotion, and his face showed a hint of surprise. He murmured, "This kid is really lucky. It seems that the cultivation technique I prepared for him was a waste of time... Tsk, Yao Chen actually has such a cultivation technique."

"My lord, it seems that Yao Chen obtained the Burning Technique from an ancient ruin. Back then, Elder Mu Gu even fought with him for this technique." Mo Yu and Elder Mu Gu were both elders of the Soul Palace, so they naturally knew some secrets.

The Burning Technique sounds extremely special, but in the eyes of truly powerful figures, it's nothing but a trap.

It's laughable that they actually thought they could use the strange fire as fuel for evolution, yet Han Feng was willing to risk his life for it. In the end, greed overwhelmed his reason.

Finding a strange fire is not so easy, let alone devouring it.

However, Yao Yan was very lucky. In just a few years, he collected all four kinds of strange fires and even successfully devoured two of them, raising his strength to the level of a four-star Dou Huang. This cultivation speed was not slow even among the Soul Clan.

It should be noted that Yao Yan does not have many cultivation resources, far less than the genius disciples supported by the Soul Clan.

"The method of cultivation is not important. What matters is whether it suits you and whether you can successfully cultivate it. He was able to obtain this method, had the courage to cultivate it, and even succeeded in cultivating it. It is not a waste of my teaching. In the end, the path of cultivation depends on oneself. This kid actually dared to scheme against a peak Ninth-Rank Dou Zun. Let him be. I also want to see how far he can go. Hehe~" Hun Xuzi's mood seemed to have become much higher, as if he was thinking about his past.

Now that his apprentice has embarked on the same path as him, how could he not feel excited?

As for the value of the Burning Technique, a high-level Dou Sheng like Hun Xuzi obviously had no interest in it. Not to mention that there are only so many different kinds of fire, even if he really brought this technique back to his clan, the old guys in the clan probably wouldn't agree to let their talented disciples cultivate it.

Besides, Yao Yan is his disciple, so as a teacher, he naturally has to protect him.

"Send him a message for me. I'm waiting for him in Zhongzhou. He can do whatever he wants. I'll cover for him if anything happens!" Hun Xuzi smiled calmly, gave the instructions, and then slowly disappeared into the space.

He had no intention of coming to see Yao Yan. After all, as the number one alchemist of the Soul Clan, he couldn't leave at all; a group of people were waiting for him to refine pills.

As everyone knows, the Soul Palace and alchemists are mortal enemies.

"Yes!" Mo Yu replied, cupping his hands in greeting.

"You've done a good job. This pill is yours for the taking." Before leaving, Hun Xuzi made a clenched fist in the air, and a bottle of pills appeared out of thin air. With a wave of his hand, it floated in front of Mo Yu. At his level of strength, spatial distance was never a problem; he could easily tear it apart.

The space of the Dou Qi Continent is as fragile as a young wife, unable to withstand any turmoil.

As the pill was thrown out, his figure completely disappeared, and the surrounding space returned to normal.

"Thank you for the reward, sir!"

Mo Yu could not hide his excitement. Given Hun Xuzi's status, the pills bestowed upon him would be at least at the peak of the eighth grade, enough to help him easily break through to his current level. You must know that he has been stuck at the peak of the seven-star Dou Zun for nearly a hundred years!

"Perhaps I should try to befriend this young master..." Mo Yu held the pill, a hint of emotion flickering in his eyes, and pondered to himself.

He wondered if the young master needed guards, but he felt he could manage.

If all else fails, he can call on his sworn brother, the Eighth Heavenly Venerable Imprisonment Ground. The other party has many old grudges with Yao Chen, so perhaps he can call on him to help with this scheme against Yao Chen.

……

……

Yao Yan was unaware of Hun Xuzi's reaction. He was currently pursing his lips, looking at Cai Lin in his arms with a slight pain, and jokingly said, "Bite so hard... luckily I have thick skin~"

Cai Lin's pretty face flushed slightly, but she deliberately put on a cold demeanor, turning her head away, too lazy to pay attention to Yao Yan, that scoundrel. Did he really think she wouldn't have the heart to beat him up?!

"Have you hugged enough?" she asked coldly.

"No~"

Yao Yan said confidently that he quite enjoyed watching Cai Lin's arrogant expression, especially when you were stronger than her, her conflicted expression of wanting to bite you to death but not being able to was really interesting.

As soon as he finished speaking, he tightened his grip on her slender, alluring waist, feeling the soft warmth against her body, and a sense of indescribable satisfaction washed over him.

We cultivate to become stronger, all for this very moment.

The weak have no right to embrace a Medusa queen, especially since Yao Yan is also thinking about her sister.

“…You are truly shameless!” Cai Lin closed her eyes, took a breath, then glared fiercely at Yao Yan and said in a deep voice.

Once she sorted out her thoughts, she realized how shameless Yao Yan was. Perhaps this kid had already started plotting against her a long time ago, but he had always used Cai Die as a cover. Now that his strength had surpassed hers, he no longer bothered to hide it.

"There's nothing wrong with being a little thick-skinned. If I don't take the initiative, will you? You can't just pretend nothing happened, can you? I'm not that kind of person." Yao Yan spouted a bunch of twisted logic, her tongue slick and quick-witted.

"Have you thought about butterflies?!"

Cai Lin's tone became more conflicted as she spoke in a deep voice.

“I never said I would give her up, and Cai Die also told me before that she hoped we would stay together. Don’t you want to stay with your sister? Besides, you have a unique connection with her. Do you think I would give you to someone else?” Yao Yan looked at Cai Lin’s charming purple eyes and said softly.

"I will have no one else!" Cai Lin made her last struggle.

"Of course, you're mine!" Yao Yan said domineeringly, then put his arm around Cai Lin and walked towards the soft couch next to him.

Don't ask why there's this thing in the escape room.

What are storage rings used for? (End of Chapter)

Chapter 192 The Establishment of the Heavenly Court

192.

To be fair, Cai Lin truly lives up to her title as the Medusa Queen of the Snake-People. Her Death Binding technique is indeed quite difficult to resist, especially her innate allure. You might not notice it on ordinary days, but once she takes the initiative to seek pleasure, her charm is so irresistible that even Yao Yan's temperament is hard to bear, and he can only want to succumb to it.

And so, this period of depression lasted for nearly half a month.

However, on this day, Yao Yan finally emerged from the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower. It was time for his appointment with Hun Xuzi. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, so he had to go and say hello, and also chat with him about what was to come. Whether it was seizing the Three Thousand Burning Flames from the Pill Tower, or the strange flames in the hands of other forces, they all needed the help of this master.

He had no patience to wait for the Three Thousand Burning Flames to be born; if given the chance, he would naturally improve his strength in the shortest possible time.

And naturally, the strange fire was Yao Yan's first choice.

"Young man, beauty is like a wolf or a tiger. You are so young, don't get too obsessed with it." As soon as he was 'released', Yao Lao earnestly advised him. He had been young once before and naturally knew how tempting a beauty like Cai Lin was to a young man like Yao Yan.

If you could have controlled yourself before, now that things have started, can you hold back?

Just like after a couple has just done *that*, there will inevitably be a period of sweet, inseparable time.

The same reason.

Furthermore, both Yao Yan and Cai Lin possess formidable physical bodies at the Dou Zong level, and their endurance and strength naturally far surpass those of ordinary people...

"Old Yao is right, cultivation should still be the priority," Venerable Tianhuo said with a smile, teasingly from the side.

"I've trained so hard for so long, can't I at least enjoy myself a bit?"

Yao Yan was in a good mood and retorted directly. At the same time, he looked at Cai Lin, who had a gentler temperament, and said with a smile, "Later, you will go to Demon Flame Valley with Elder Yao and Venerable Tianhuo. Take Zi Yan with you. The environment of Canaan Academy is not suitable for her growth."

"Hmm~"

Cai Lin's eyes were less cold than before, and more gentle, like a newlywed wife. She was no longer the domineering queen she used to be. Of course, this gentleness was only revealed in front of Yao Yan. Deep down, she was still the Medusa Queen she once was!

Almost the instant Yao Lao and Tianhuo Venerable appeared, Cai Lin's gaze turned cold, and she reverted to her usual demeanor.

The two old men didn't tease Cai Lin either. After all, some topics are fine for men to discuss, but it would be impolite to talk about them with a woman.

Seeing that Yao Yan was planning to go alone, Yao Lao asked with some curiosity, "Where are you going?"

"To see an old friend."

Yao Yan smiled and said something, then wings of battle qi appeared behind him. He then transformed into a streak of light and sped away into the distance. There were some things he couldn't let Yao Lao know. On the one hand, it was to protect Yao Lao, and on the other hand, it was naturally to conceal his identity.

If Yao Lao were to find out that he was Hun Xuzi's disciple, their relationship would inevitably break down, and Yao Lao might even take extreme measures.

This old man has lived the first half of his life in deception, and now he's been deceived by himself... He might be in despair.

That was not the scene Yao Yan wanted to see.

Having lived in this world for so many years, Yao Yan finally felt a sense of belonging. He didn't want to destroy it all with his own hands. The purpose of cultivation was to achieve immortality and freedom, as well as to control his own destiny. The destiny he wanted was definitely not to be alone, but to become a slave to power like the Soul Emperor, willing to sacrifice everything for it.

Of course, it's also because Yao Yan hasn't reached that level, nor has his state of mind.

Currently, he only wants to protect the people he wants to protect.

"Old friend? Does this kid still have anything in the Black Corner?" Yao Lao was taken aback upon hearing this, and turned to look at Cai Lin. After all, Cai Lin and Yao Yan were already family, so Cai Lin should know some things.

Cai Lin's beautiful, delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, a hint of worry flashing in her purple eyes. She pursed her red lips and said softly, "I don't know either, but I can sense that he has a lot on his mind."

"I sensed it before; he always seemed preoccupied. I really don't know what he's thinking," the old doctor sighed softly, sounding somewhat helpless.

"When he wants to say it, he will naturally say it. Young people always like to take on some responsibilities to prove that they have come of age," Venerable Tianhuo said with a smile, seemingly unconcerned.

"That's right~"

The old doctor nodded and responded.

Cai Lin fell silent. She looked at Yao Lao and Tian Huo Zun Zhe and said softly, "I'll go pick up Zi Yan, and then we'll head to Demon Flame Valley."

"it is good!"

The two elders nodded in agreement.
