Feng Qing'er had not yet reached the strength she possessed when Xiao Yan arrived in the Central Plains in the original work, so she did not directly participate in Xiao Yan's battle with West Pavilion Lord.
However, due to her presence, Xiao Yan dared not use the Heavenly Demon Phoenix bone wings, otherwise, it would be disastrous if he attracted the pursuit of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Tribe, that colossal entity.
Xiao Yan fought and retreated, fleeing wildly, with West Pavilion Lord in hot pursuit behind him.
"Kid, tell me, how did you learn my Fenglei Pavilion's secret Dou Technique, 'Three Thousand Lightning Movement'? It seems Feng Qing'er probably didn't wrong you!"
"Heh, if you want to condemn someone, you can always trump up a charge."
The two fought further and further away, and Feng Qing'er gradually couldn't keep up with their speed, falling behind.
After a long while, Xiao Yan stopped in a valley; he turned around, no longer fleeing.
Seeing his uncharacteristic behavior, West Pavilion Lord became wary, but his words remained tough: "Running again? Why aren't you running? Are you planning to surrender?"
"No, the scenery here is quite good; it should be a nice place to be buried." Four flames appeared in Xiao Yan's hand: Azure Lotus Core Flame, Sea Heart Flame, Bone Spirit Cold Flame, and the Life-Creating Flame obtained from Fang Yan and the other three Elders of Demon Flame Valley.
He was still not strong enough to use a four-colored "Buddha Fury Fire Lotus," but a three-and-a-half-colored one was sufficient!
He popped a sixth-grade Qi-Restoring Pill into his mouth, then began the fusion of the exotic flames.
Seeing his actions, West Pavilion Lord's expression changed drastically; he felt a fatal threat!
He absolutely could not let him unleash this move! Thinking this, he pushed Three Thousand Lightning Movement to its limit and shot towards Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan's speed, however, suddenly increased by a large margin, and he retreated rapidly, maintaining a constant distance between them no matter how West Pavilion Lord pursued him.
West Pavilion Lord's pupils constricted as he looked at the crystalline, star-shimmering bone wings behind Xiao Yan, his face filled with shock and anger: "Heavenly Demon Phoenix wings... you actually dared to refine a flying Dou Technique using Heavenly Demon Phoenix wings?"
"It'll be fine as long as no one alive sees it, right?" Xiao Yan smiled coldly, as the exquisite three-and-a-half-colored Fire Lotus took shape, exuding an aura that seemed capable of destroying everything.
"Go."
The Buddha Fury Fire Lotus streaked across the sky, trailing specks of firelight behind it, as beautiful as a falling meteor.
But in West Pavilion Lord's eyes, it was as terrifying as the Grim Reaper's scythe.
He fully activated Three Thousand Lightning Movement, attempting to escape before the Fire Lotus arrived, but the Fire Lotus was faster and locked onto him firmly.
West Pavilion Lord had no choice but to use a defensive Dou Technique to resist.
A blue Barrier, crackling with lightning arcs, appeared before him.
The Fire Lotus slowly bloomed, growing larger and larger, and terrifying power erupted, the extreme high temperature and immense impact engulfing West Pavilion Lord's figure.
West Pavilion Lord had swallowed a pill that temporarily increased his strength at the last moment, and after the Barrier briefly stalled it, he used "Three Thousand Lightning Movement" to retreat a great distance, thus only suffering severe injuries and surviving the terrifying explosion.
"Damn it, kid, my Fenglei Pavilion will never rest until you're dead!" He didn't look back; to save his life, he risked damage to his foundation, forcefully activated his Dou Qi, and fled quickly into the distance.
Xiao Yan's expression changed; he hadn't expected the opponent to survive such a terrifying attack. At this moment, his body was almost completely drained of Dou Qi from the previous move, and though he wanted to pursue, he lacked the strength, so he could only watch West Pavilion Lord disappear into the distance.
"Damn it."
He had exposed his bone wings during the battle just now!
Just as West Pavilion Lord was about to disappear from his sight, a voice suddenly rang out.
"A'Xiao, bite him!"
A huge Frost Wolf leaped from the ground and bit West Pavilion Lord, its sharp teeth piercing his chest and severing his life force.
"Xiao Hun Guniang." Xiao Yan looked at the familiar ghost-like makeup, appearing somewhat surprised.
"What a coincidence, we meet again... why are you covered in blood every time I see you?" Hun Xiao greeted him.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan showed a helpless smile: "I can only say it's fate. Thank you, Xiao Guniang, for your assistance."
"No problem, no problem, just marry me." Hun Xiao's reply still seemed so out of place.
Xiao Yan's mouth twitched, and he naturally ignored her words, pointing to West Pavilion Lord's corpse and saying:
"This guy is the Pavilion Lord of Fenglei Pavilion's West Pavilion. If he's seen, there might be trouble, so it's best to deal with it as soon as possible."
Hun Xiao readily complied with Xiao Yan's reminder; after taking West Pavilion Lord's space ring, she put his corpse into her own space ring.
She jingled the ring in her hand and said: "Today's prey was hunted by our joint effort, so you get half of the spoils!"
Xiao Yan waved his hand: "Guniang has already helped me a great deal by helping me kill him."
Hun Xiao shook her head: "No, I have to give you half, otherwise I'll feel a bit bad... To avoid trouble from Fenglei Pavilion, I'll spread the word that you killed him."
Xiao Yan fell silent... Although he had already prepared himself to take responsibility for this matter, Hun Xiao stating it so directly still left him speechless for a moment.
...
The news of the West Pavilion Lord's demise caused a huge stir within Fenglei Pavilion's sphere of influence.
Hun Xiao packed up and left, while Xiao Yan was chased all over the place by Fenglei Pavilion's people. Even if he fled into the deep mountains and old forests, Fenglei Pavilion's people could always accurately find him.
This made him realize that there was something wrong with the spoils he had received.
He took out the scroll containing "Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Body" from his space ring; this item was the most suspicious.
After a moment of hesitation, he decided to find a place to cultivate first before discarding it.
On top of a towering pavilion, a tall man stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance from the balcony.
He was in the prime of his life, with a wisp of silver-white beard on his chin, dressed in a silver robe adorned with lightning patterns that seemed alive, flowing and faintly echoing with the sound of wind and thunder.
This work is organized and uploaded by 69shuba—
The Pavilion Lord of Fenglei Pavilion's East Pavilion, and also the helmsman of Fenglei Pavilion, Thunder Venerable!
"The West Pavilion Lord actually fell to an unknown junior. My Fenglei Pavilion's face has been completely lost."
Thunder Venerable's voice was steady, but the hidden anger was audible to anyone.
"Pavilion Lord, there's already news. Pavilion Lord Fei has located the culprit... in a valley not far from Thunder Mountain... but to avoid alerting them, we haven't made any rash moves for now." A man knelt on one knee and reported.
"I understand." Saying so, Thunder Venerable transformed into a huge bolt of lightning and shot towards the distance.
But he hadn't flown far when he stopped, his gaze fixed on the space to his front-left, and he said in a deep voice: "Who? Come out."
"Eh? I've been discovered." A little girl, biting a lollipop and with a runny nose, emerged from the folds of space.
She sat on a Amethyst Winged Lion King that had a white ring around its right eye, and she looked at Thunder Venerable with curiosity.
"Little Lion, look, it's a living Dou Venerable, I'm seeing one for the first time!" the girl said cheerfully in an innocent tone.
The Little Amethyst Winged Lion King beneath her yawned, showing little interest.
"Who are you?" Thunder Venerable could feel the vibrant vitality emanating from the little girl in front of him; she truly was a little girl, not some Old freak!
But what he found incredibly absurd was that he actually felt an extreme danger from such a small girl!
"Me, well, my name is Xiao Qing... Mm, you're too strong, I can't let you go find Cousin Xiao Yan." Xiao Qing said with a giggle.
Thunder Venerable didn't understand what she meant, his eyes narrowed slightly, but one thing was certain: the newcomer was an enemy, not a friend!
Xiao Qing continued: "Can I trouble you to stay on Thunder Mountain and not go anywhere?"
"It seems you intend to stop me? Is the person who killed my West Pavilion Lord related to you?" Thunder Venerable's face darkened.
"He's my Cousin," Xiao Qing replied guilelessly.
"Then how do you intend to explain this matter to me?" Thunder Venerable's eyes held a cold glint.
"Explanation?" Xiao Qing thought for a while, hesitated, and then somewhat painfully took out a crystal bottle from her embrace. Inside it was a semi-transparent worm with twelve rings and starlike colors.
"How about I give you this? I've raised this for three days and it's still not dead; it's the most tenacious worm!"
Anger at being toyed with surged from Thunder Venerable's heart. Thunder gathered around him, making crackling sounds.
"Good, you are very good, to dare to make fun of me like this... Then let me see what abilities you truly possess." Thunder Venerable attacked decisively.
A huge bolt of lightning transformed into a serpentine shape and rushed forward.
Xiao Qing pouted and muttered: "My Dou Technique isn't perfected yet, but fighting against you isn't too strenuous...
"'Protect Young Clan Leader' is the highest-level mission in the clan, so I was specially approved to have a very strong worm... Now, I am...
"A Half-Saint!"
