After a fierce battle with Yun Shan's Avatar, a thunderous boom sounded as Jia Xing Tian finally shattered it with a palm strike. After all, the Avatar was not Yun Shan's real body; without the circution of a Qi Method, its Dou Qi eventually weakened ier stages.

  Xiao Yan saw Jia Xing Tian look at him and used spiritual transmission to say, "Elder Jia, I, Xiao Yan, won't say unnecessary words. I will forever remember your assistaoday. You worry about the Mixed Bone Molding Pill. Regardless of what happens to the Misty Cloud Se the future, I, Xiao Yan, will repay this debt of gratitude."

  Jia Xing Tian shook his head with a bitter smile. Looking at the intetle in the sky, his gaze rested on Ling Ying as he said, "Even without my intervention, you have enough strength to deal with Yun Shan, don't you?"

  Xiao Yan chuckled and said, "That's not how it works. Nothing should be sidered from hindsight. Even I 't anticipate everything. Without Elder Jia's assistance, who knows, perhaps I might have been ambushed and killed by that old thing Yun Shan."

  Of course, Jia Xing Tian didn't believe Xiao Yan would be so easily ambushed and killed. Gng in Hai Bodong's dire, his bitter smile deepened as he thought, 'No wohat old fellow Hai Bodong was willing to give up so muot only handing over half of the Au House without hesitation but also being an enemy of the Misty Cloud Sect without any reservations. Turns out he knew long ago that Xiao Yan has a powerful force bag him.'

  He sighed. In fact, he should have guessed it earlier. Otherwise, how could someone under normal circumstances possess such strong alchemy skills and cultivation?

  Not only did he possess tier 5 alchemy skills and Heavenly Fmes, but he also defeated Nan Yanran, who had received Yun Po Tian's iance. If he didn't have the support of a major fa behind him, one couldn't even imagine how astonishing his talent and luck would have to be.

  Xiao Yan took out three Dou King Pills and said to the bck-cloaked figures still restraining Yun Leng and the other two, "Gentlemen, the battle is almost over. To avoid any trouble, would you three 'mysterious' Dou King seniors please e and take these Dou King Pills?"

  Xiao Yan struggled to hold back his ughter, pretending not to know who they were.

  At this point, Yun Leng and the other two Dou Kings were no lnifit threats. In a battle of this level, Dou Kings were merely on fodder, uo affect the overall situation.

  Fa Ma and the others exged ghen simultaneously used Dou Teiques to distahemselves before flying over to Xiao Yan.

  Mu raised his hand and unceremoniously took a Dou King Pill before flying away from the Misty Cloud Sect. He was the only one who genuinely wahe pill.

  Miteer Tengshan smiled and said, "Grandmaster Xiao Yan, please hand this Dou King Pill to Ya Fei of the Miteer Au House."

  Xiao Yan nodded with a smile and said, "Alright then."

  "And what about this mysterious elite Dou King?" Xiao Yan grinned as he spoke to Fa Ma.

  "I'll take it then. If Grandmaster Xiao Yan has time, you're wele to visit my humble abode anytime," Fa Ma said as he took the Dou King Pill.

  The perfect-quality Dou King Pill refined by Xiao Yan would be immensely helpful to improve his own alchemy skills.

  In the realm of 5th-tier alchemists, Xiao Yan was the most formidable alchemist Fa Ma had ever seen.

  After the three of them flew away from the Misty Cloud Sect, it wasn't long before Mu , Miteer Tengshan, and Fa Ma returned under various pretexts to watch the battle. This act of 'c one's ears while stealing a bell' infuriated Yun Leng and the others to the point of nearly grinding their teeth to pieces!

  'This old fellow really endure.' Xiao Yan looked up to see Yun Shan's robes buro tatters by the Green Lotus Core Fme, with several burn injuries on his body. Yet, he still had fighting strength left and refused to admit defeat.

  Feeling bored, Xiao Yan shook his nearly empty witle, poked his head out from the panquin, and called out to Nan Yanran not far away, "Hey, Nan Yanran."

  "Hm?"

  "Pour me some wine."

  "Hm?!"

  "Didn't you say you'd bee a sve or servant if you lost? Well, you lost." Xiao Yan truly didn't seem to take Yun Shan seriously at all, even having the mood to joke around and have fun at a time like this.

  He waved the witle in his hand, causing Nan Yanran to be stunned speechless.

  Because after the battle ended and Yun Leng had rushed out, she had pletely fotten about her promise from three years ago to bee a sve or servant if she lost.

  "Y-you… didn't you say the e was celed?" Nan Yanran was momentarily at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.

  Xiao Yan chuckled, "Yes, it's celed. But the bet was something you added yourself; I didn't say that."

  For a moment, Nan Yanran found herself in a dilemma. She tightly gripped the hem of her dress with both hands, and uedly, a hint of blush appeared on her pretty face.

  Xiao Yan saw her expression and teased, "Don't get any strange ideas. I'm only asking you to pour the wine, not to do anything else."

  Nan Yanran gritted her teeth, angrily strode over, snatched the witle from Xiao Yan's hand, and poured him a gss with a spsh.

  "Fine, I'll pour! What's the big deal?!" She really did stand beside the panquin with the witle in hand.

  Xiao Yan shook his head with a smile, drank the cup in one gulp, then y ba the panquin to watch the Dou Aor level battle.

  'I wonder how Qing Lin is doing now, whether she's doing well at the Sky Serpent Mansion.' Xiao Yan couldn't help but think of Qing Lin, who used to call him 'Young Master' all the time. Qing Lin was much better than this Nan Yanran.

  Xiao Yan inally thought the battle would st for quite a while longer, but he didn't expect it to end so abruptly.

  A sudden explosion resounded in the sky with a thunderous boom. Medusa had fully unleashed the fire seed of the Green Lotus Core Fme. The terrifying green fmes were like a nuclear explosion, scattering all the clouds around Misty ountain.

  Misty ountain was now without clouds!

  Back when Xiao Yan utilized the special properties of the Heavenly Fme to detohe Bone Chilling Fme, even the soul body of a high-grade 7th-tier alchemist had to flee.

  Yun Shan, half of his body charred bck, suddenly plummeted from the sky with a loud bang, crashing into the ground and creating a rge pit.

  "Master!" Yun Yun, who had been watched by Hai Bodong this eime, was thrown into a panic. She spread her wind wings and flew to the side of the severely injured Yun Shan.

  It was no wonder Yun Yun was so anxious. Yun Shan was not just her master but also her adoptive father.

  Yun Yun took out a low-grade tier 6 healing pill from her ste ring. This ill refined by Gu He. Although tier 6 pills were generally used by Dou Emperors while Dou Aors used tier 7 pills, it could still have some effect.

  "Get lost!" Yun Shan spped away the pill in Yun Yun's hand and staggered to his feet. Perhaps it was because of Xiao Yan, or maybe it was due to the humiliation of being a Dou Aor who couldn't defeat the half-step Dou Aor Medusa, but right now, Yun Shan was like an injured old tiger.

  "Master..." Yun Yun looked at Yun Shan with a guilty expression.

  Yun Sha Xiao Yan with a ferocious expression and roared, "Even if you have Queen Medusa's help and possess Heavenly Fmes, so what? There will still be people who deal with you!"

  Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed. With his keen Spiritual Strength, he sehat Yun Shan had just crushed a soul jade piece.

  "Hahaha! None of you know what you're up against!"

  "Hahahahaha!!!"

  But something strange happened. No matter how much Yun Shan shouted, nothing occurred! The sky remained clear and bright.

  Everyone present looked at each other in fusion, then back at Yun Shan, w if his mind had been rattled by the beating, as he stood there shouting and yelling to himself like a madman.

  Yun Shan stared bnkly at the sky and roared, "Why? Why aren't they appearing?! You promised me!!"

  Yun Shan was dumbfounded. He couldn't fathom why his supposed backup hadn't shown up! They had actually abandoned him!

  "Stop yelling. The people from the Hall of Souls won't appear." Just then, Xiao Yan's voice resonated in his mind.

  Yun Shan looked at Xiao Yan sitting on the panquin in shod said incredulously, "It's you... What did you do?!!"
