"What? That guy actually formed a marriage alliance with the Dan Clan?!"
Hearing this news, Xiao Yan's expression instantly turned extremely shocked, his voice even cracking as he exclaimed.
Although he didn't know much about the Dan Clan, he did know that the Dan Clan's ancestor was a member of the Small Pill Tower, a peak powerhouse at the Nine-Change Dou Zun level and a nine-colored eighth-tier alchemist.
Now that Lin Feng had obtained the Dan Clan's support, even with the Pill Tower's Three Leaders helping him, his advantage would be greatly reduced!
"It seems that once I retrieve Master, I have to find a way to get rid of him as soon as possible. If I let him grow unchecked, the consequences will be endless."
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan couldn't help clenching both fists tightly, determination in his eyes.
Hearing him, Xuan Yi nodded and spoke, "If you have Yao Chen's assistance, things will indeed become much easier. At the same time, with his reputation supporting you, dealing with the Hall of Souls will no longer make you seem so powerless."
"Mm."
Responding softly, Xiao Yan then turned his gaze toward the window and thought silently in his heart, "Father, Brother, wait for me a bit longer. Once I save Master, I will go all out to search for any news about you."
"I just hope… you won't blame me for giving up the ancestral inheritance…"
"After all, if I can grow strong enough, we can slowly gather those things again. But if I stop here, relying on Xiao Ning and Xiao Mei… the Xiao Clan truly would have no future!"
Thinking of the Xiao Clan members who had been imprisoned at Jia Nan Academy for years, Xiao Yan's brows tightened slightly.
"Forget it. In a few days, I'll send a Dou Zun to Jia Nan Academy to bring them all to Central Plains. No matter what, they lost their freedom for so long all because of the mess I caused back then."
Thinking about how, after losing the Fallen Heart Flame, the remaining Xiao Clan clansmen must not be living well there, Xiao Yan sighed lightly in his heart.
Speaking of Black-Corner Region, Xiao Yan suddenly remembered that Lin Feng seemed to have a wife stationed there, overseeing his forces. But thinking of his own family and friends, Xiao Yan shook his head.
If he targeted Lin Feng's wife but failed to eliminate him in one strike…with that guy's personality, his own family and friends would spend the rest of their lives in fear. Such a method would be harming the enemy at a great cost to himself. Not worth it at all.
Then, Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and thought, "Once Lin Feng returns, I should meet him to discuss terms. After all, those bits of information can't rot in my hands. I should try to see if I can gain anything from him."
This was an endless mountain range, with countless towering peaks covered entirely in vibrant flowers.
From afar, it looked like a boundless sea of blossoms. When the gentle breeze swept past, colorful petals danced through the sky, creating a scene that resembled a fairyland. Within this sea of flowers, faint outlines of buildings could be seen.
From inside those buildings came glimpses of graceful figures as well as the cheerful laughter of women. However, the most eye-catching sight was the towering peak at the center of the mountain range.
The mountain was extremely wide, and its top had somehow been sliced flat, forming an enormous plateau. On that flattened mountaintop was a massive square made of green stone, surrounded by flowers whose fragrance lingered in the air.
At the end of the plaza stood a grand hall constructed from stone and timber. At this moment, although the hall was extremely spacious, it appeared quite empty. Only two women dressed in pale yellow robes sat quietly facing each other.
Despite their mature aura, neither of them looked old. Their skin remained smooth and well-maintained. Although the corners of their eyes carried faint crow's-feet, it only added a mature charm to the two women.
"Never expected that after all these years, the once-renowned Yao Zun Zhe, Yao Chen… would actually fall into the hands of the Hall of Souls."
After a long moment, one of the yellow-clothed women let out a soft sigh, then gently placed the letter on the wooden table before her.
However, remembering what Xuan Kongzi had written in the letter, she frowned and continued, "But this Lin Feng… he managed to refine an eight-colored eighth-tier pill in the Pill Gathering, something that even Ban Sheng experts desire. He even took first place. If we kill him, Pill Tower will definitely investigate thoroughly!"
After all, anyone with half a brain would understand.
If the Pill Tower were to lose such a heaven-defying genius, they would certainly hunt down the murderer and skin them alive. When that happens, even though their Flower Sect is one of the Two Sects, they would still be dragged into misery!
Speaking of the Pill Gathering, she couldn't help but sigh, "Yao Chen's disciple really is impressive. So young, yet already capable of refining a three-colored eighth-tier pill, and even defeating Pill Tower's two proudest geniuses — Cao Ying and Dan Chen.
Honestly, he's even more outstanding than Yao Chen was in his prime. His only misfortune… was being born in the same era as that monster Lin Feng."
As she spoke, the other yellow-clothed woman kept her expression icy cold and didn't say a single word.
Seeing this, the first woman could only shake her head helplessly and fall silent.
"Big Sis, you decide."
After another long silence, the talkative yellow-clothed woman finally pushed the decision to the one who had remained quiet.
"Just let me be willful one last time… and help that old man's disciple."
After a long pause, the cold-faced woman slowly closed her eyes as she spoke her decision.
"I knew you'd choose this. Back then, just for that old man Yao Chen, you even dared to contradict Master. But you should know very well… whatever was between you two probably has no future."
Hearing that, the yellow-clothed woman gave a bitter smile. The outcome didn't surprise her at all. After all, they had lived together for hundreds of years. How could she not know the other's personality?
Seeing that the cold woman still showed no reaction, she could only wave her hand helplessly, then added, "Since Big Sis has decided, who should we send?
According to reliable information, that kid killed a Six-Star Dou Zun back when he was only at Half-Step Dou Zun, though mostly through various tricks. Now that he has fully stepped into Dou Zun, he'll only be stronger."
At this point, her brows furrowed again, her tone turning slightly grave.
"And during the Pill Gathering, that kid even used a Dou Zun Puppet that had already entered the Nine Change to Saint Realm to withstand Pill Lightning."
After thinking through a long list of names within the sect, she finally sighed and said helplessly, "How about I go myself? There really isn't anyone suitable left in the sect."
