As the seven-colored pillar of light appeared, the seven-colored light in the sky grew stronger and stronger, eventually dyeing half the sky with seven colors.
A moment later, a phantom of a giant seven-colored python, hundreds of feet long, slowly emerged in the sky.
The python shimmered with a bewitching and beautiful light, and the oppressive aura emanating from it caused even the Heavenly Serpent Lord's pupils to shrink.
This Seven-Colored Devouring Python truly lived
up to its reputation as one of the top magical beasts of the ancient era. Even though it had only just entered the eighth rank, its strength was already very close to that of the Heavenly Serpent Lord's guardian beast. The members of the Flame Alliance looked at the phantom of the seven-colored python in the sky with awe, their faces showing a hint of joy.
Now, besides the Alliance Leader, the Flame Alliance had gained another Dou Zun-level combatant.
In total, the Flame Alliance now had five Dou Zun-level experts, a force that was practically invincible in the entire Northwest Continent, where Saints had almost disappeared.
Thinking of this, the group of Yan Alliance henchmen couldn't help but feel excited. They had truly chosen the right patron; not only did they have a Dou Zun expert, but also an eighth-grade alchemist. This was undoubtedly a great benefit to them.
In the sky, the seven-colored giant python opened its mouth, and instantly, the energy of the entire Jia Ma Holy City surged and boiled violently.
Finally, this colorful energy transformed into a hundred-zhang-diameter energy cloud, which was swallowed by the seven-colored devouring python.
After swallowing this energy, the seven-colored devouring python's body became increasingly solid, until it was almost indistinguishable from its true form.
After absorbing this energy, the hundred-zhang-long seven-colored giant python slowly shrank, finally transforming into a seven-colored stream of light and returning to the Alliance Leader's mansion. Beside the
antique-style bed, the Queen's face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, with a few beads of sweat on her smooth forehead.
"Is this the power of a Dou Zun?"
Feeling the power within her body, a smile appeared on her enchanting face.
Now that she has reached the Dou Zun level, she can finally be considered one of the top powerhouses in the Northwest Continent.
At this level, she can finally be said to have the ability to revitalize the Seven-Colored Clan and bring the Snake-People Clan to glory.
And all of this is inseparable from the help of the young man behind her.
Just as she was thinking this, an arm suddenly wrapped around her serpentine waist.
"The energy within your body is still too impure. I'll use a different kind of fire to refine it for you."
Xiao Yan's voice came from behind Cai Lin. Upon hearing this, Her Majesty the Queen, who had already picked up her clothes, paused slightly, and a different kind of brilliance appeared in her usually cold and majestic eyes.
Three days later, Xiao Yan finally led the Queen out of the Alliance Leader's Mansion. Afterwards, he began to lay out the general structure of the Flame Alliance.
Currently, the Flame Alliance's politics and military affairs are almost entirely arranged by the Queen, with Yao Ye responsible for coordination. The economic system was managed by Ya Fei. Despite being three women, they governed a vast alliance with remarkable efficiency.
Under their leadership, Xiao Yan found few major flaws in the Yan Alliance.
The most indispensable figure was Queen Cai Lin. While both Yao Ye and Ya Fei were exceptionally intelligent women, they couldn't escape certain human flaws.
Everyone has friends and family, and nepotism is inevitable. Choosing capable people is one thing, but choosing incompetent ones can have far greater consequences.
Furthermore, the two women's current strength was insufficient to command respect. At this moment, Cai Lin's ruthless methods were fully revealed.
This queen was not only renowned for her beauty but also for her ruthlessness. Even Xiao Yan couldn't help but admire her; he had usually only seen her beauty and had almost overlooked her powerful inner strength.
To be the ruler of a clan was no small feat.
Besides the surprises these women brought him, Xiao Yan received an unexpected delight.
"Xiao Cheng, this once honest and timid young man in the Xiao Clan, is now the only one among the Xiao Clan members Xiao Yan brought to enter the core of the Flame Alliance."
Although Cai Lin had arranged suitable positions for these Xiao Clan members to train them because of Xiao Yan, the one who truly stood out was Xiao Cheng, whose strength had only just reached the Dou Ling level.
In the Dou Qi Continent, strength is paramount, but some things cannot be solved by strength alone. Whether it's Xiao Yu, Xiao Mei, or Xiao Ning, although they possess some abilities, they are not as capable as Xiao Cheng in handling affairs.
He's not good at expanding territory, but his composure and seriousness are extremely rare.
This was Cai Lin and Ya Fei's shared assessment.
Although he has Xiao Yan's connection, this young man, who has entered the core of the Flame Alliance's economy at such a young age, clearly has a meticulous approach to everything.
"Tomorrow, I will be temporarily leaving the Northwest Continent. This departure may last for a year or even longer, and I may not be able to return."
In the Alliance Leader's Mansion, Xiao Yan and his women gathered at a table once again.
Looking at his beautiful wives and concubines, Xiao Yan felt a strange sense of satisfaction.
With power and beauty at his fingertips, this was the ideal life for most people. However,
upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, the women's eyes reddened.
"If anything happens that I cannot handle, please ask my second brother to return to the clan and call for help."
Xiao Yan glanced at Cai Lin beside him and smiled gently.
Although he had been temporarily stripped of all the powers he possessed as the Emperor's Prince, and even being barred from returning to the Xiao Clan, it didn't mean he was powerless.
What did it matter to Xiao Li if he called for help?
Although he couldn't use his Emperor's Prince status for the time being, Xiao Yan still had some minor connections.
For example, two half-saint friends, his master, the continent's number one alchemist, and a Dou Sheng grandfather.
Moreover, his status as an imperial prince was only temporarily frozen. If he were to become a Dou Sheng in the future, he would be a true imperial prince, and at that time, he would wield real power within the Xiao clan.
Therefore, even the Dou Sheng elders of the Xiao clan were quite willing to let Xiao Yan owe them a favor.
In addition, he also had some personal connections with the clan leader, Xiao Shaobei.
These people couldn't directly help Xiao Yan, but that didn't mean they couldn't help those around him.
This trip to the southwest was Xiao Yan's first true departure from all protection since arriving in this world, a trial fraught with the danger of death.
Although his strength was now among the top in the continent, there were still many who could overwhelm him.
Even a random half-saint could leave Xiao Yan helpless; even throwing a Five-Colored Fire Lotus might not cause him any real harm.
Therefore, Xiao Yan was extremely cautious about this mission. He couldn't let down the women who had followed him so loyally if something happened to him.
The next morning, sunlight pierced through the clouds, illuminating the snow-covered city of Jia Ma in a pristine white.
Xiao Yan gently kissed Cai Lin, Yun Yun, Little Fairy Doctor, Ya Fei, Yao Ye, and Nalan Yanran on the cheek, even managing to kiss Qing Lin's smooth forehead.
The girl's face flushed, and her large eyes held a hint of secret joy.
Then, amidst the blushing gazes of the women, Xiao Yan tore through space and disappeared from the Flame Alliance.
He took Hun Xin and Xiao Cheng with him.
Hun Xin's physique was truly extraordinary. He planned to have Yao Lao observe her closely, and if he still couldn't discern anything, he would examine her more carefully upon returning to the Xiao Clan.
For some reason, he always felt that this little girl harbored a special secret.
As for Xiao Cheng, this young man always reminded Xiao Yan of his younger self in his past life; that diligent and conscientious demeanor made him somewhat nostalgic.
Soon, the three of them arrived at Demon Flame Valley.
"Xiao Cheng, from now on, you will be in charge of the affairs of Demon Flame Valley. I hope that when I return to the Northwest Continent in the future, this Flame Alliance branch will be well-managed by you,"
Xiao Yan said with a smile, looking at Xiao Cheng.
"Brother Yan!" Xiao Cheng looked at Xiao Yan, his eyes slightly red.
"A grown man like you, why are you crying?" Xiao Yan patted his shoulder.
After Xiao Yan left with a smile, Xiao Cheng stared blankly in the direction Xiao Yan had gone, his gaze gradually hardening.
"Brother Yan, don't worry, I won't let you down."
A moment later, Xiao Yan, with Hun Xin tucked under his arm, arrived at Canaan Academy.
"Master, Master."
Hun Xin squirmed in Xiao Yan's arm, but Xiao Yan didn't care at all.
They arrived at the main hall of the Alchemy Department.
"Oh, this little girl is so cute."
Seeing Hun Xin's sudden appearance, a group of alchemists looked at her curiously.
"Elder Xiao Yan, is this your daughter? So cute!"
"Here, little girl, uncle will give you candy!"
An elder from the Alchemy Department looked at Hun Xin with a smile.
"Thank you, uncle!"
Hun Xin happily put the candy in her mouth and casually pulled out a chicken leg from under her feet and handed it to the alchemist.
"Here, have a chicken leg."
Seeing Hun Xin take out a dark, smelly chicken leg, the elder's face darkened. He finally understood why Elder Xiao Yan didn't like to pay much attention to this little girl.
"Elders, I'll trouble you all to look after my foolish disciple."
After saying this, Xiao Yan appeared in Su Qian's courtyard.
"Elder, why don't you go out for a stroll? I'll look after Zi Yan for now."
Xiao Yan smiled at Su Qian.
Su Qian was slightly taken aback, but after seeing Xiao Yan's expression, she understood and quietly went to observe the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.
After Su Qian left, Xiao Yan used his soul to create a barrier around the entire courtyard, then focused his gaze on the large purple fluorescent cocoon in the courtyard. The
large purple fluorescent cocoon was now emitting a crystalline light, appearing increasingly mature.
It seemed that Zi Yan's breakthrough wouldn't be long.
Xiao Yan smiled slightly.
Once Zi Yan broke through to the sixth rank, he could also go to the Central Continent.
And so, Xiao Yan quietly sat in the courtyard, closing his eyes to rest, silently recalling his current fighting techniques and alchemy skills.
Three days later, the once peaceful courtyard suddenly trembled, and Xiao Yan finally opened his eyes.
"Is it time to advance successfully?"
Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes, and before him was a dazzling, crystalline purple light.
Looking at this scene, a hint of joy appeared in Xiao Yan's eyes.
As the intense light on the cocoon grew stronger, a subtle cracking sound rang out, and countless tiny cracks slowly appeared on the once flawless cocoon. As these cracks slowly opened,
countless rays of dazzling purple light burst forth from them. Fortunately, Xiao Yan's restriction prevented this, otherwise, such a commotion would have shaken the entire Canaan Academy.
As the cracks multiplied, a large piece of the crystalline cocoon shell suddenly detached, and with the detachment of this piece, more and more cocoon shells rapidly fell off.
Immediately, a purple beam of light suddenly shot straight into the sky, finally colliding with the spatial seal, unleashing waves of ripples.
This powerful impact caused Xiao Yan's gaze to narrow slightly.
As Xiao Yan's gaze deepened, a blurry figure gradually appeared, causing his eyes to light up slightly.
"Hehehe, the best is yet to come."
As the pillar of light continued to extend, it slowly dissipated, revealing a figure in Xiao Yan's sight.
Purple fluorescence swirled around her slender body, and long, flowing purple hair cascaded down to her hips. The
allure of her mature figure almost rivaled that of Cai Lin. "
Truly impressive," Xiao Yan thought, his eyes widening.
Zi Yan, within the pillar of light, lazily stretched, further accentuating her near-perfect figure, drawing Xiao Yan's attention even more intently.
A moment later, she finally noticed someone beside her. Her previously relaxed expression faltered slightly, and as she turned her head, she met Xiao Yan's piercing gaze.
"Brother." Zi Yan's face flushed slightly, but suddenly she became playful and gave Xiao Yan a flirtatious look.
"She's still a child." Xiao Yan took a deep breath, suppressing his urges.
The next moment, a burst of green light erupted from Zi Yan's body.
Under this green light, her body began to shrink again, transforming from a slender, beautiful woman into a little girl in just a few breaths.
"Huh?" Xiao Yan's eyes widened even more.
"Why did she shrink? Did she take the Transformation Pill for nothing?"
