After bidding farewell to Mo Tianxing, Xiao Yan returned to his room, planning to first refine the "Heavenly Swallow Nine Transformations Wings." Whether he could fight was secondary; being able to run was what mattered!
He had a premonition that with this flying Dou Technique, refined from the wings of a nearly eighth-tier Magical Beast, even Dou Ancestor experts wouldn't be able to catch him.
Xiao Yan cut open the Magical Beast carcass, and after cutting off the starlight-shimmering bone wings, he found no other valuable items in the corpse, so he intended to burn it with a single flame.
However, this burning unexpectedly revealed the secret of the Magical Beast carcass. The greyish-white flesh was incinerated by the Heavenly flame, condensing into a few drops of crimson-green blood. The blood dripped onto the Magical Beast's withered skin, which began to shrivel and finally coalesced into an irregularly shaped, crimson-green crystal.
With the appearance of the crystal, a terrifying roar echoed in Xiao Yan's mind, causing him to involuntarily stumble back several steps.
Xiao Yan looked at this change with surprise on his face. There were three drops of crimson-green blood, emitting an astonishing energy fluctuation, and that irregularly shaped crystal was the Magical Beast's most precious item: the Magical Core!
"Haha, an unexpected surprise! Master, this should also count as the essence bloodline of a seventh-tier Magical Beast, right?" Xiao Yan said, pointing at the three drops of blood.
Yao Chen's soul body floated out from the bone flame ring, looking at the irregularly shaped Magical Core, which carried a hint of demonic aura, with uncertainty. He said with a slightly solemn expression:
"Xiao Yan, this thing might be a bit too hot to handle."
"What's wrong? Master, do you recognize this Magical Beast?" Xiao Yan asked.
"I didn't recognize it before, but after sensing its soul pressure, I remembered that this might be a Heavenly Demon Phoenix."
"Heavenly Demon Phoenix?" Xiao Yan repeated the name. "What's wrong with this Magical Beast?"
Yao Chen explained: "In the Central Continent, besides the major human forces, there are also some powerful Magical Beast forces. There are a total of three major Magical Beast clans: the Nine Serene Deep Earth Python Tribe, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, and the most mysterious Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan."
"It is said that the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan has extremely strict control over the corpses of their clansmen. If anyone is found to have desecrated the corpses of their clansmen, it will lead to endless pursuit."
"Which is more powerful, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan or the Soul Clan?" Xiao Yan asked.
Yao Chen pondered for a moment and replied: "Most likely the Soul Clan, after all, their Clan Leader is that legendary figure… I'm not very sure. Both Magical Beast clans and ancient races are very mysterious…"
Xiao Yan did not give up on refining the bone wings due to the potential threat from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix. He needed to seize every opportunity to strengthen himself.
However, he also decided in his heart that he would hunt another seventh-tier Magical Beast in the future and use the essence bloodline of that hunted Magical Beast to refine a body for his Master, not wanting to bring this kind of risk to his Master.
After refining the bone wings, Xiao Yan also refined a drop of Heavenly Demon Phoenix's essence blood, and his level naturally reached Four-Star Dou Emperor.
After resting for a night, he and Little Fairy Doctor left the Black Emperor Pavilion and walked out of the city.
"They're leaving the city! That guy is leaving the city!"
Their actions attracted countless people's attention. Some of these people were blinded by the immense wealth and wanted to intercept him, some just wanted to watch the excitement, and others set their sights on those who wanted to carry out the interception…
When the two were besieged and counter-attacked, they would likely not have time to collect the Space Rings of those they killed… The valuables on these dead people, when collected, would also be a considerable harvest.
Towards these wild dogs and vulture-like fellows, Xiao Yan merely scoffed. Although their numbers were large, they couldn't cause real trouble. Only those Dou Ancestor experts with ill intentions needed attention.
For example… someone like Mo Tianxing.
Xiao Yan used his soul power to remove the Black Emperor Sect's trick on the snow bone ginseng.
Still in the Black Emperor Pavilion, Mo Tianxing, who was about to set off to follow, had a slight change in expression.
"What's wrong, Dad?"
"Our tracking method has been erased…" Mo Tianxing replied. He hesitated for a moment and said, "You guys don't follow along. I'll go and see."
After Xiao Yan left the city, he spread his Dou Qi wings and flew in the direction of Jia Nan Academy.
After following for a distance, some people finally couldn't help but launch an attack.
Several Dou Emperors attacked them together. They were not from the same force but had temporarily teamed up. Therefore, when they made their moves, they didn't use their full strength, still reserving some power to guard against each other.
Little Fairy Doctor's expression turned cold, and she waved her hand, scattering a cloud of greyish-white poisonous Dou Qi. Such strange Dou Qi caught the several Dou Emperors off guard. Two of them couldn't retreat in time and were enveloped, immediately letting out a series of screams.
Soon after, two pale-faced corpses fell from the sky.
Such a method made those who wanted to besiege them feel a chill in their hearts, and they involuntarily moved back a bit.
Just then, two figures in grey robes with covered faces launched a sneak attack. Little Fairy Doctor's expression changed, because these two grey-robed attackers were both Dou Ancestor experts!
Xiao Yan's explosive combat power was indeed very strong, but in his normal state, facing a Dou Ancestor was still a bit difficult. Therefore, Little Fairy Doctor proactively stepped forward, blocking in front of Xiao Yan, and clapped her palms together, clashing with the two attackers.
Little Fairy Doctor retreated a good distance, looking at the two with a solemn expression. From their aura, these two had only recently advanced to Dou Ancestor, but the cultivation techniques they practiced were special. When they teamed up, they put immense pressure on her.
"Kid, quickly hand over the snow bone ginseng, otherwise you won't leave today."
"Your Dou Ancestor companion is not a match for us brothers in a one-on-one fight, but when we team up, she won't be able to defeat us."
Xiao Yan's expression was somewhat strange. He was very familiar with the opponent's voices and auras. He had already recognized their identities.
Just then, three figures arrived beside Xiao Yan. The leading old man smiled and said, "It seems both of you have encountered some trouble. Master, you might need some help."
Xiao Yan also knew a bit about these three. They were the three Elders of Demon Flame Valley, an old established powerful force in the Black-Corner Region. At the auction, they had offered to exchange the "Flame Creation Skill," which could create fake Heavenly Flames, for the Magical Beast carcass, but Mo Tianxing refused.
However, although Mo Tianxing refused, Xiao Yan took it to heart. He was quite interested in this "Flame Creation Skill."
"Fang Yan, it's you again. Does your Demon Flame Valley intend to oppose us to the end?" one of the grey-robed men said with surprise and anger.
Elder Fang Yan of Demon Flame Valley responded with a faint smile: "I just can't stand your thuggish behavior; I'm merely acting on behalf of justice. Both of you are also prominent figures in the Black-Corner Region, so there's no need to hide. Take off your face coverings… Gold and Silver Elders."
Their identities revealed, the two grey-robed men very simply removed the face coverings, revealing their somewhat gloomy faces underneath.
It was none other than the two Vice-Leaders of Xiao Alliance, Gold and Silver Elders!
