Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 14 Time Reversal

In the basin, the seven-spirit alfalfa swayed in the wind, as if all living beings were destined to be unable to resist the torrent. On the ruins, everyone looked at Xiao Yan, whose face was gloomy, and dared not speak, wondering what this young master was thinking.

"Elder Wen, Elder Wu," Xiao Yan called softly, and two aged figures quietly emerged from the space.

"Young Master!" The two saints, one civil and one martial, stood beside Xiao Yan, inspiring even greater awe in the group of descendants.

Although the strongest person in the village was only a Dou Huang, those who had common sense about Dou Qi cultivation knew that the strength of these two was absolutely terrifying. However, these two seemed to be just Xiao Yan's guards.

"Elder Wen, if I want the mastermind behind this to be punished, there must be many ways, right?" Xiao Yan's voice was calm, but Xiao Wen clearly understood the meaning behind it.

"Heh, he's just a minor Dou Huang. Don't even mention that his grandfather is just a minor Dou Zun. Even if he were a Supreme Elder, Young Master could easily crush him."

Xiao Wen smiled slightly and said, "Young Master only needs to order the Hall of Punishments to send a Saint to perform a spacetime reversal technique, and everything will be clear."

Furthermore, when it comes to arresting someone and bringing them to justice, the Hall of Punishments has the most authority.

"In that case, I'll trouble Elder Wen to make the trip for me." Xiao Yan nodded slightly.

"Hehe, as the young master's guard, this is my duty. Please wait a moment, young master, I'll be right back." Xiao Wen's figure moved and disappeared from the spot again.

After Xiao Wen left, Xiao Yan strode forward and gently knelt down to look at the little girl with the missing arm.

The girl had an innocent and lovely face, but her big, dark eyes were filled with fear and unease.

"Don't be afraid!" Xiao Yan gently stroked the girl's head, and then a jade bottle appeared in his hand.

With a gentle tilt, a blood-red pill was poured out. Just inhaling its fragrant aroma was enough to make some of the injured descendants feel that their injuries were beginning to heal.

A sixth-grade healing elixir, the Blood, Flesh, and Bone Rejuvenation Pill!

This pill has the amazing effect of bringing the dead back to life and restoring flesh and bone. It is said that anyone below the level of a Dou Huang who still has a breath left can be brought back to life.

"Child, eat it." Xiao Yan held the blood-red pill to the girl's lips.

The girl swallowed hard, her dark eyes glancing gently in the direction of the old village chief. Finally, as the old village chief nodded with tears in his eyes, she swallowed the pill.

A moment later, her whole body turned red, and the scabbed-over stump on her arm began to slowly twitch.

"Brother, I feel so bad." She looked at Xiao Yan pitifully.

"Don't be afraid, your brother will protect you." Xiao Yan smiled gently and stroked her head. His powerful Dou Qi, carrying the Azure Lion Demon Flame, entered the girl's body and gently refined the energy in the Blood and Flesh White Bone Pill for her.

This energy was so immense that even a Dou Huang expert could recover quickly from serious injuries, let alone a child who wasn't even a Dou Zhe.

Crimson energy continuously overflowed from the girl's body, eventually transforming into fine energy threads that bound her into a crimson cocoon.

"Be good, take a nap, and everything will be alright." Xiao Yan's gentle voice entered the blood cocoon.

With the terrifying medicinal power of the Blood and Flesh White Bone Pill, not only will her injuries be completely healed, but it will also give her a better foundation. The abundant energy within will also allow her to rapidly improve her cultivation in the coming years.

Standing up, Xiao Yan looked at a group of injured villagers and waved his hand, handing them many jade bottles.

These are all grade five healing pills.

"Thank you, Young Master Xiao Yan." The injured people bowed gratefully, but Xiao Yan didn't say anything more. They were the innocent victims, yet they were the ones thanking others.

"Buzz!" An invisible spatial fluctuation spread out, and Xiao Wen appeared here with an old man in black robes.

The old man in black robes had a cold and stern expression, with a faint aura of killing intent emanating from him, and he also exuded the aura of someone who had long held a high position.

"Young Master, this is the Light Punishment Saint, one of the nine Saint Elders of the Punishment Hall!" Xiao Wen introduced, gesturing with his hand.

"Elder Guang." Xiao Yan bowed slightly, but the stern-faced old man in black robes quickly helped him up.

"Hehe, Your Highness, please don't flatter me. I am just a mere two-star Dou Sheng and am not qualified to receive Your Highness's greeting."

"It is an honor for this old man to have the chance to lend His Highness a small favor."

The so-called oppressive power and ruthlessness of those in power are all relative.

Although Xiao Yan is only a minor Dou Huang at the moment, the fact that he was named an Imperial Son by the clan ancestor at the Dou Huang stage indicates that he may be more outstanding than the previous two Imperial Sons in some aspects, or that he is more valued by the clan ancestor.

As an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years, the Light Punishment Saint's experience and insight are naturally more shrewd, and he will not show the slightest arrogance in front of Xiao Yan.

"Elder Guang, I'm sure Elder Wen has already told you what I want to do." Looking at the attitude of the Light Punishment Saint, Xiao Yan was once again amazed by the power of status and authority.

"Of course, Your Highness, rest assured. Our Punishment Hall has always been strict in its work. Let me find the evidence and bring justice to these people." The Holy Light of Punishment smiled slightly.

He slowly extended his right hand, and the next moment, the surrounding light began to distort strangely, reversing in its original direction.

"Celestial-Rank Combat Skill: Time Reversal!"

As a being who attained sainthood through light-attribute battle qi, the Light Punishment Saint already possesses the ability to reverse the images in a space.

Of course, this only involves going back in time to review what happened in the past; it cannot change the past in any way.

The power of time extends beyond space; even a Dou Di (Battle Emperor) cannot influence the past, and will eventually decay after countless years.

The descendants of Qiling Village were already dumbfounded; everything before them was beyond their comprehension.

Even Xiao Yu couldn't understand what was happening in front of her.

The images of time and space rapidly reversed, and in the blink of an eye, we were back to last night.

The dark moon cast a cool, pale light, illuminating the simple buildings of Qiling Village. Occasionally, the chirping of insects echoed through the quiet village.

Suddenly, two men appeared silently outside Qiling Village. Both men were at the peak of the Douhuang realm and cultivated dark-attribute Dou Qi, making them extremely adept at concealing their presence. No one in the entire Qiling Village noticed them.

Their figures moved like shadows through the village, occasionally scattering white powder in every corner.

After doing all that, the two quickly left.

About half an hour later, the once peaceful land began to stir. A moment later, tens of thousands of white brocade rainbow cloud oxen, like a black cloud moving at high speed, rushed over with bloodshot eyes.

Tragedy struck immediately afterward, with many of the slumbering descendants having no time to react to the sudden upheaval.

Fortunately, several experts at the level of Battle King sensed the tremor in advance, and with the rapid assistance of many experts, most of the villagers were evacuated.

Even so, a few people still ended up inside. Despite the desperate efforts of several Battle Kings to rescue them, several were seriously injured, and two were even trampled to death.

Although the White Brocade Rainbow Cloud Ox was only a third-tier magical beast, the sheer number of thousands of them surging forward was enough to deter even a Dou Huang expert from taking the hit.

Afterwards, the entire village was trampled into ruins, which is what it looks like now.

"Your Highness, I have collected all the evidence. Now, let's go arrest them." The time rewind ended, and the Saint of Light Punishment held an ancient recording stone in his hand.
