Battle Through the Heavens: Reap the Red Lotus Karmic Flame at the Start

However, the two of them were naturally involved in this plan to launch a surprise attack on the Spirit Clan. In fact, the attack was mainly caused by their decisions, so they knew very well what Xiao Yan was going to do next. Now, the two of them were waiting outside the door to see Xiao Yan one last time before he went to the Spirit Clan.

The three of them have been through so much together. Xiao Yan's trip will likely be extremely important and dangerous, but it won't take too long.

The two women seemed worried about something, or perhaps they were trying their best to restrain themselves. They didn't even come to Xiao Yan's side in person; their eyes just met in mid-air.

Both Little Fairy Doctor and Xun'er maintained a very stable expression, showing no signs of emotional instability. Only their tightly clenched fists, hidden by their sleeves, betrayed their inner turmoil.

They were well aware of what Xiao Yan was going to do, and naturally also aware of the dangers involved. Yet, both the two of them, and Xiao Yan himself, highly praised the operation. This stemmed from the fact that everyone understood that while this task was extremely dangerous, the rewards would be immense if successful.

Since going is unavoidable, any unnecessary words or actions will only bring more trouble.

Xiao Yan gave them a reassuring smile and nodded before releasing a spatial rift with Yan Jin and leaving side by side.

"Aren't we going to say goodbye to them?" Yan Jin asked Xiao Yan.

"If things go smoothly, we will be back soon. Saying goodbye now would only cause unnecessary trouble."

Yan Jin looked at Xiao Yan and said with satisfaction, "You are becoming more and more decisive like a leader should be."

"You're absolutely right, we will definitely be the ones to win this battle in the end."

Xiao Yan smiled helplessly: "Actually, I still feel indebted to everyone involved in this matter."

Yan Jin shook his head again and said, "I've been the clan leader for so many years. Although I can't say I've been successful, I still have some experience. As the alliance leader, you don't need to consult with everyone on everything. If they know too much and are unwilling to cooperate and participate, then we'll miss a good opportunity. We're already very well prepared for this battle. We've planned enough whether to advance or retreat."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded vigorously, clearing his mind of any extraneous thoughts: "Alright! Let the outcome of this battle prove my decision!"

……

After Xiao Yan left, Little Fairy Doctor also found Lei Jingxiao, who was still staying at the Starfall Pavilion.

"Xiao Lei, I need to trouble you with something again."

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Please speak freely!"

Little Fairy Doctor took out a jade slip, which marked important nodes of a hidden array of the Starfall Pavilion. The contents were quite profound, but fortunately, the most crucial nodes had been marked in advance, so laymen could understand them at a glance.

Although Lei Jingxiao was not an expert in this field, seeing such detailed annotations, he could roughly guess what he needed to do.

"I need you to inject your battle qi into the nodes of this great formation every hour."

Lei Jingxiao took the jade slip, patted his chest, and readily agreed, "That's it? Absolutely no problem, sister-in-law, don't worry!"

Lei Jingxiao looked at Little Fairy Doctor in front of him, glanced around to make sure no one else was there, and then whispered to her, "Sister-in-law, did you hear about my failure from my older brother?"

"Failure? He didn't tell me. What happened?"

When this topic came up, Lei Jingxiao's usually bright eyes showed a hint of dejection: "This is a long story, and I need you, sister-in-law, to give me some advice."

Little Fairy Doctor nodded gently: "Alright, let me guess, is it related to Miss Ziyan?"

Lei Jingxiao nodded vigorously: "It's true, nothing can be hidden from you, sister-in-law. You can definitely help me!"

Lei Jingxiao felt like he had grasped at a straw and desperately wanted Little Fairy Doctor to give him some advice. However, when he thought of the jade slip in his hand, he slapped his forehead.

"Sister-in-law, wait a moment. I'll come find you right away after I've finished charging this formation!"

Then, with a flash, he disappeared from the spot, clearly eager to hear the brilliant plan that Little Fairy Doctor had come up with for him.

Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but smile as she watched Lei Jingxiao rushing about, which eased her worries about Xiao Yan's plan to ambush the Spirit Clan.

After Xiao Yan and his group left, the Starfall Pavilion's power was extremely weakened, with only Lei Jingxiao, a Dou Sheng-level existence, remaining to oversee it.

Although their discussion concluded that the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan would not target the Starfall Pavilion, the things they discussed together could not be concealed.

Although their swift movements might not attract attention, it's still necessary to be prepared for any eventuality. By having Lei Jingxiao channel energy into the grand formation, they can briefly simulate the presence of other Dou Sheng experts in the area.

Although it's all a charade, once a truly powerful expert shows up, the real situation will be revealed immediately. But what they want is to keep the Starfall Pavilion's current weakness hidden.

"All the Dou Sheng level experts have gone to launch a surprise attack on the Spirit Clan. Xun'er wants to take this opportunity to break through to Dou Sheng. After giving instructions to Wei Jiangyuan and Qingyu, they also prepared to absorb the Flame of Life. The Starfall Pavilion is now extremely weak."

On the surface, Xiao Yan and his group's move was extremely risky. A surprise attack by Dou Sheng level experts would inevitably leave their headquarters vulnerable. If information about their operation leaked or they became entangled in a prolonged battle, their families left behind could be put in danger.

However, as the key figure who planned this operation and mastered almost all the details, Little Fairy Doctor did not panic in the face of this situation. Instead, she felt excited, but also a little regretful.

She was excited because she was concerned about whether her judgment was correct; more than anyone else, she hoped the surprise attack on the Spirit Clan would succeed. Her regret stemmed from her own lack of strength, preventing her from personally participating in the battle and forcing Xiao Yan to go in her place.

……

In the southwestern region of the mainland, there lies the ancient forest.

This is a forest stretching for over a thousand miles, where the wood-attribute battle qi far surpasses that of ordinary forests. Cultivating here will undoubtedly bring numerous benefits. Therefore, this place is easily among the top ten cultivation treasures in the entire Southwest Region.

It's quite famous, but it's definitely not enough to cause a sensation throughout the entire Central Plains.

What no one knows now is that two Dou Sheng-level experts have arrived above the lush ancient trees of this cultivation ground.

Xiao Yan and Yan Jin remained hidden, hovering above the forest. Given their cultivation levels, no one could possibly discover their presence unless they chose to.

"As expected, the border between the Spirit Realm, where the Spirit Race resides, and the Central Continent is located here."
