Xiao Yan sat on the panquin feeling rather helpless as he gazed at the green fmes occupying half the sky above. One moment cold, the hot. Did they think they were cooking?!

  'It seems that accelerating my Dou Qi cultivation is the way to go.' Xiao Ya someerplexed. Clearly, he had refihe Heavenly Fme himself, yet others could wield it more powerfully.

  Although he had indeed fully refihe Essence Fme of the Heavenly Fme, his Dou Qi cultivation was still far from suffit to fully unleash the Heavenly Fme's maximum power.

  This terrifying sea of green fmes was not only visible to the spectators on the Misty Cloud Sect's square but even to the on people in Jia Ma Sacred City.

  "Quick, look toward the Misty Cloud Sect!"

  "What oh is happening there? What's that green light?"

  "Didn't Grandmaster Xiao Yao the Misty Cloud Sect early this m? The Mu an , and Miteer all went with him!"

  "Are you saying that Grandmaster Xiao Yan caused this?!"

  At the Miteer Au House, Ya Fei raised her head to look in the dire of the Misty Cloud Sect. Her face was full of worry as she csped her hands together, as if in prayer.

  At this moment, within the endless sea of green fmes, Queen Medusa appeared like an empress trolling the green fire, holding it in her hand and disregarding everything in the world.

  For the half-step Dou Aor Medusa, maniputing the Green Lotus Core Fme was as easy as moving her own arm. The Green Lotus Core Fme felt like aension of herself.

  This was not only because it had been refined by Xiao Yan. One must know that this Green Lotus Core Fme had once resided within her body. It was not an exaggeration to say that she had some e to it.

  'Sigh, this Green Lotus Core Fme has fallen into the hands of that ing human just like that.'

  Her beautiful eyes revealed a hint of ment and unwillingness. Her inal pn wasn't as simple as just pleting her bloodline evolution. She had also wao pletely trol the Green Lotus Core Fme for her own use.

  The gap between magical beasts and humans wasn't just in ialent; the Dou Teiques of magical beasts were far inferior to those of humans. Te the gap in Dou Teiques, she o possess a Heavenly Fme.

  However, Medusa only felt a bit regretful and had no other thoughts. Even without Xiao Yan's appearance, she wouldn't have been able to fully realize her initial idea. Using the Green Lotus Core Fme to evolve was destio fail, and the Ten Thousa Fme had long since fallen into Xiao Yan's hands.

  As the green fmes dissipated, Queen Medusa's beautiful eyes looked toward Yun Shan, who wore a solemn expression not far away. She smiled coldly and said, "Heh, it seems this so-called Dou Aor of yours doesn't quite live up to the name."

  Yun Shan lowered his head to look at his scorched palm. He hadn't expected that his Di Css Dou Teique used as a Dou Aor would not only be ralized by Medusa, but that his own palm would even be burned by a Heavenly Fme.

  "A Heavenly Fme, you actually possess two kinds of Heavenly Fmes!" Yun Shan's eyes were cold as he looked toward the calm Xiao Yan sitting below. He never would have thought that Xiao Yan not only possessed two kinds of Heavenly Fmes, but Medusa could also trol one of them so skillfully!

  "Oh my, didn't yuest elder, the most powerful alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire, Pill King Gu He, tell you? Back then, he wao go to the Snake-People Tribe to seize Queen Medusa's Green Lotus Core Fme, but I heroically rescued the beauty and foiled his despicable pn." Xiao Yan spouted nonsehout effort.

  Even Yun Yun rolled her eyes at Xiao Yan. Him, a hero saving the beauty? He was clearly one of the robbers back then. He really did talk a better game than he pyed.

  Yun Shan looked at the several battlefields on the square below and realized that his vast Misty Cloud Sect seemed uo do anything to this eighteen-year-old boy!

  Xiao Yan's ability to rally others was even more terrifying than he had imagihis was already reag the influence of a peak 6th-tier alchemist!

  A half-step Dou Aor, two Dou Emperors, three Dou Kings, and four Dou Spirit hidden guards! This lineup made even him wary.

  He even somewhat regretted listening to Yun Leng's words.

  Yun Shan looked at Queen Medusa, who was holding the green fme, with a hint of apprehension in his eyes. The power of that Heavenly Fme was truly frightening.

  The previously enraged Yun Shan suddenly quieted down. He lowered his head, his gaze sweeping across the entire Misty Cloud Sect, looking at all the sect's disciples. His voice spread throughout the vast Misty Cloud Sed its thousands of disciples as he shouted, "All Misty Cloud Sect disciples, heed my and!"

  "Activate the sect-proteg grand formation! Form the 'C Sun Cloud Formation'!"

  Yun Shan's deep voice echoed to every er of the Misty ountains.

  The Misty Cloud Sect wasn't limited to just the disciples in the square. The entire sect was exceedingly rge with tless disciples, and many of them hadn't e to watch the battle as they weren't ied in such matters.

  'Old Sect Leader Yun Shan has eveed to using the sect-proteg grand formation. It seems that Xiao Yan has really driven him a bit mad!' Even Gu He was stunned upon hearing Yun Shan's shout, his brows furrowing slightly.

  The Misty Cloud Seaturally had its own rules. Some disciples and elders never involved themselves in worldly affairs and only focused on cultivation, just like Gu He, who didn't care about these matters. Whether it was Yun Leng beien or someone being killed, he wouldn't use his reputation as a 6th-tier alchemist to call upon others for revenge.

  But it was different ohe sect-proteg grand formation was activated. This represented a life-ah moment for the Misty Cloud Sect. All members o tribute their strength.

  tless Misty Cloud Sect disciples were stu first when they heard the resounding shout across the square. Then, disciples who had been cultivating rushed to various squares, halls, training grounds, dormitories, and other nodes of the grand formation. They shouted in unison before slowly closing their eyes.

  Moments ter, wisps of white energy rose from these halls. An endless stream of white, mist-like energy surged into the sky. Even Gu He standing in the square poured his Dou Qi into the grand formation.

  Finally, the white energy almost obscured the entire sky. At a g was like being in a sea of clouds, with Yun Shan right at the ter.

  Medusa once again drove the Green Lotus Core Fme when she saw the entire Misty Cloud Sect had activated the sect-proteg grand formation. But this time, the endless green fmes were actually blocked by the thick white energy!

  Her eyes fshed with seven-colored light as the bloodline power of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python within her body erupted like a waterfall. The Green Lotus Core Fme transformed into a green heavenly python, fiercely coiling around the entire grand formation and biting down on the white energy.

  But even so, she was uo break through the Misty Cloud Sect's sect-proteg grand formation in a short time!

  "Xiao Yan, be careful!" The moment the formation was pleted, Hai Bodong sensed something and shouted at Xiao Yan.

  The sed, a mass of white energy suddenly burst out from the ground around the panquin and shot toward Xiao Yan!

  Snap! Snap! Snap!

  tless strands of white energy instantly locked onto Xiao Yan's four limbs like s.

  "Kid, though Heavenly Fmes are powerful, they ot rival the tens of thousands of disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect," Yun Shan's voice came from the air. His goal had always been to capture Xiao Yan.

  The restrained Xiao Yan looked at Yun Shan in the sky and shook his head helplessly, "Sigh, how troublesome."

  "Old Ling, if I were to ask for your assistance, I wonder what ditions would be required."

  As soon as he finished speaking, the shadows beside the panquin suddenly began to writhe in an eerie manner. Moments ter, a dark figure gradually emerged. In just an instant, a figure dressed in bck robes appeared out of thin air before everyone's eyes.

  With the appearance of the dark figure, the expressions of Hai Bodong, Jia Xing Tian, Fa Ma, Yun Leng, and others ged drastically in the blink of an eye.

  Another Dou Emperor?!

  Ling Ying slowly bowed and respectfully said, "Young Master Xiao Yan's word alone is enough."

  This was the trump card that Xiao Yan had been hiding all along: eating soft ribsp;

  It wasn't that Xiao Yan wao eat soft rice, but it was simply too entig!

  TL/N: "Eating soft rice" typically refers to a man relying on or living off a woman's resources or support.

  "Is that so? Then I'll have to trouble Old Ling."

  Ling Ying's eyes focused sharply as his entire body burst forth with Dou Qi. The surrounding world's energy suddenly went berserk at this moment.

  'Open Mountain Seal!'
