The Strange Flame Rekindles in Battle Through the Heavens

Chapter 87 Seven Emotions and Six Desires Elixir

The Mad Lion Mercenary Group's actions naturally did not escape the notice of the other two mercenary groups, since their bases were right next to each other.

"Why would the Mad Lion Mercenary Group send so many people to the Monster Mountain Range so late at night?" asked Gilley, the leader of the Azure Wolf Mercenary Group.

"Could it be that they've discovered that boy named Nie Feng?" Dali, the leader of the Fierce Tiger Mercenary Group, asked with wide eyes.

"That's possible!" Gilley nodded, his face showing excitement.

"That young man's wealth is enough to make us the fourth largest family in the capital. We can't let the Mad Lion Mercenary Group get there first!" Dali slapped his thigh and said excitedly.

"Yes, we'll also send people into the Monster Mountain Range." Gilley quickly returned to his mercenary group's base and dispatched thirty teams, each with about twenty people, totaling more than six hundred. This was already two-thirds of the group's manpower. If it weren't for the need to guard against the Mad Lion Mercenary Group, he would have sent out all the mercenaries.

The Tiger Mercenary Group did the same, sending thirty teams into the Monster Mountain Range.

"Are they really going to make a move?" The leader of the Mad Lion Mercenary Group thought that the two major mercenary groups, the Azure Wolf and the Fierce Tiger, were really going to deal with him when he saw that they had sent so many people into the Monster Mountain Range.

At this moment, Raman felt quite regretful, regretting that he had been too reckless. If these two families had really dealt with the people he sent in the Monster Mountain Range, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Ling Yun frowned deeply. Although the Wolf and Tiger mercenary groups had sent out many people, their remaining forces still outnumbered theirs, and both groups had Grand Masters present! Even if a fight broke out, their side was more likely to lose!

It's certain that the three mercenary groups will fight each other; there's no doubt about that. Once they find Xiao Yan's whereabouts and obtain the valuables from him, they will definitely fight each other over them, leading to a major brawl. The leaders of the three mercenary groups are all well aware of this.

However, what puzzled Raman, the leader of the Mad Lion Mercenary Group, and Ling Yun was that they hadn't found any trace of Xiao Yan yet! Why were the two families so eager to make a move?

Although the two were puzzled, they couldn't ask directly. They could only suppress their doubts and quietly wait for the people they had sent out to return.

They weren't too worried about the safety of the mercenaries they sent out. Although the number of mercenaries sent out by their Mad Lion Mercenary Group was not the advantage, most of them were elites and their strength should not be underestimated.

Even if a fight breaks out, although they may be at a disadvantage due to their numerical disadvantage, they will definitely not lose to the other side.

Countless stars twinkled in the dark night sky, like bright pearls inlaid in the sky, so beautiful and so dazzling.

Perched atop a towering tree, a figure clad entirely in black stood, his eyes fixed on the distance, as if searching for something. Suddenly, the sound of footsteps echoed in the distance, and a large group of mercenaries, numbering at least five hundred, entered the Monster Mountain Range.

After entering the Monster Mountain Range, these mercenaries quickly split into more than a dozen small teams and searched in various directions.

Just when Xiao Yan thought it was over, another series of sounds came from afar, this time even louder than before. Xiao Yan only glanced at them and roughly estimated the number of people to be over a thousand. These people, like the previous crowd, had quickly split into small teams of a dozen or so after entering the Monster Beast Mountain Range and scattered in various places.

"Why are there so many people all of a sudden?" Xiao Yan was greatly surprised.

Xiao Yan originally thought that only the Mad Lion Mercenary Group would send people. After all, the search team had mysteriously disappeared, which would arouse suspicion in anyone and they would definitely send people to search for their whereabouts again.

However, Xiao Yan did not expect that they would be so impatient as to dare to enter the Monster Mountain Range in the dead of night.

Of course, this isn't a big deal, because the strongest magical beasts on the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range are only second-tier magical beasts, no match for these people. It just means some manpower will be lost, since the probability of a successful nighttime attack by magical beasts is greatly increased.

Xiao Yan's original plan was to launch a surprise attack on a few small teams of the Mad Lion Mercenary Group while they were searching, framing the other two mercenary groups and causing the three major mercenary groups to kill each other. This was a plan to use a lion to devour a tiger.

However, as more and more people entered the Monster Mountain Range, Xiao Yan decided to change his original plan. After all, the original plan was slow to take effect and had a high risk of being exposed. If it were discovered, it would be a loss.

This time, Xiao Yan is going to go all out. If this plan succeeds, even if he can't wipe out everyone who entered the Monster Mountain Range, he can still make them suffer heavy losses.

"You've seen the skills of alchemists! Now let me show you what a poison master is!" A cold smile appeared on Xiao Yan's lips.

Just as Xiao Yan was about to carry out his plan, he suddenly felt a cool, damp sensation on his face. When he looked up, he found that the stars in the sky had disappeared, everything in front of him had become blurry, and his eyelashes were also a little wet.

"What a thick fog! I didn't realize it was already autumn!" Xiao Yan sighed inwardly as he looked at the hazy scenery around him.

"It's like the heavens are helping me! I was only 30% sure before, but now I'm 70% sure!" Xiao Yan said, touching the water stains on his cheek.

Xiao Yan took out a pale green pill from his storage ring. The pill looked unremarkable and had no smell.

However, after only a short while, Xiao Yan felt somewhat dazed, and an unnamed anger rose from his heart, making him feel that nothing was pleasing to the eye.

The thick fog that had just delighted Xiao Yan now felt utterly repulsive to him, as it blocked his vision. His eyes grew increasingly red, and he gradually lost his reason; all he wanted now was to rush out and kill the mercenaries outside.

Just as Xiao Yan was about to completely lose his senses, a warm current rushed into his brain from his dantian, instantly bringing him back to his senses. He quickly put the pill into the jade bottle and then tightened his storage ring.

"Holy crap! This drug is too potent! Even though I knew the effects, I almost fell for it." Xiao Yan was somewhat alarmed, his forehead covered in sweat.

Xiao Yan only wanted to test his latest invention, a pill that could drive people mad, but he almost fell victim to it. Fortunately, he had the Yin-Yang Dual Flames in his body; otherwise, if he had rushed out to fight those mercenaries, he would have only met his end.

"The medicine is so potent that even I couldn't escape it. The real show is about to begin." Xiao Yan chuckled.

This light green pill was made by combining three kinds of pills and is called the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Pill.

The first type of pill is the Hundred Beast Powder that Yao Lao used to attract magical beasts. This pill has a very strong attraction to magical beasts. When Xiao Yan was training, he often encountered attacks from magical beasts, all because of the Hundred Beast Powder.

The second type of pill is the hallucinogenic pill that Xiao Yan used before. This pill can cause hallucinations, amplify people's desires infinitely, and make them crazy and bloodthirsty.

The last type of pill was found by Xiao Yan from the pill formula treasured by Yao Lao. It is called "Mad Demon Pill". This kind of pill can greatly increase the strength of the user in a short period of time, but because the energy is difficult to control, it may cause the cultivator to lose his mind or even damage his body.

Starting today, I will be updating four times a day for four consecutive days. Please give me your support. Laba Festival is here, so I'd like to invite you all to Xia Ke Island for Laba porridge and give you a Seven Emotions and Six Desires Pill as a bonus.
