"Oh?" Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Su Qian's previously gloomy expression instantly changed, followed by a smile.
"It seems Elder Xiao Yan has some interest in the Demon Flame Valley."
Xiao Yan nodded noncommittally at Su Qian's statement, saying, "Elder, why don't you let me go this time? I want to see just how dare the Demon Flame Valley kidnap an elder from our Canaan Academy."
"Heh heh, if Elder Xiao Yan is willing to take action, that would be truly wonderful." Hearing Xiao Yan's reply, Su Qian smiled.
With Xiao Yan's current strength, even the Dean's personal return would likely be necessary to suppress him. The elders of the Demon Flame Valley were merely Dou Huang level cultivators, utterly insignificant compared to Xiao Yan.
Even the Earth Demon Old Ghost, from the same era as the Dean, was only a high-level Dou Zong, unlikely to last more than a few rounds against Xiao Yan.
Thinking of this, Su Qian's smile widened: "In that case, I'll have to trouble Elder Xiao Yan to lend a hand."
"Hehe, of course. However, this trip is also about incorporating the Demon Flame Valley, so let those students who traveled with me last time come with me again."
Xiao Yan smiled slightly, and Su Qian naturally had no objection to his small request.
Soon, a small team quickly gathered from the academy. These ten people were none other than Lin Xiuya, Han Yue, and others who had traveled with Xiao Yan last time.
However, this time, Xiao Yan no longer concealed his strength as he had last time. Now that Han Feng was eliminated and the Sea Heart Flame was in his hands, there was naturally nothing to hide.
So, Xiao Yan simply waved his hand, directly enveloping everyone with a wisp of Dou Qi. Then, with another wave of his hand, a spatial wormhole appeared in front of Xiao Yan.
Watching him casually manipulate spatial power, the people in front of him, besides being shocked as they were used to it, couldn't help but feel a sense of luck.
To be able to encounter such a powerful figure to guide them was truly a great opportunity.
Thinking of this, everyone's gaze couldn't help but turn to Han Yue in the crowd.
Since Elder Xiao Yan emerged from seclusion, Han Yue's cultivation had already reached the Dou Wang level, far surpassing theirs.
Thinking of this, their gazes towards Han Yue were filled with envy, especially the female student's resentful look.
It was a pity Elder Xiao Yan wasn't interested in her; otherwise, if he wanted to do something special, she would have cooperated.
It was truly difficult for anyone to refuse such a young, promising, and spirited genius, especially since sleeping could improve cultivation—who could refuse such a comfortable and rewarding thing?
At this moment, Xiao Yan had already led everyone into the so-called spatial tunnel.
"Elder Xiao Yan, this is it," Lin Yan pointed out through the mirror image reflected by Xiao Yan.
In this spatial tunnel, each step Xiao Yan took covered dozens of miles.
In less than half an incense stick's time, the group had already appeared in a valley thousands of miles away.
This short distance took Lin Yan three days and three nights to travel.
Dense jungle covered the valley, providing some concealment.
Deep within the valley, smoke rose from a campfire.
Around the fire stood more than ten people dressed in dark purple robes. Among them, the weakest was at the Dou Ling level, and the three leaders had long since reached the Dou Huang level.
Such a force was extremely powerful in the Black Corner Region; ordinary people encountering this group would likely be doomed.
For example, the group bound to the side looked quite disheveled.
"Elder Hao, is there any hope for us?" Beside a large tree, an outer court student looked at Elder Hao with despair.
"It's alright, the academy will send help to rescue us soon." Elder Hao's cultivation was relatively strong, so he was bound by chains, and his cultivation was sealed.
However, he remained calm and composed.
In the past, he really wouldn't have been able to handle these guys from Demon Flame Valley. After all, the three elders of Demon Flame Valley were all quite powerful, and even the Grand Elder couldn't defeat them quickly when they joined forces.
But now,
he had some connection with Elder Xiao Yan. As long as Elder Xiao Yan made a move, these little punks would probably kneel down and beg for mercy on the spot.
Thinking of this, Elder Hao revealed a sinister smile.
However, the other bound students showed expressions of despair. They were all outer court disciples and had no idea what had happened in the inner court.
Seeing Elder Hao's silly grin, they thought he had lost his mind, since Elder Hao had been hit on the head in the battle a few days ago.
Meanwhile, Fang Yan, the Grand Elder of Demon Flame Valley, who was grilling meat in the distance, also showed a hint of doubt at this moment.
"Hao Ren, what are you grinning about? You'd better pray that Canaan Academy will pay the ransom to save you, otherwise I'll kill you."
"Heh." Elder Hao's expression remained unchanged in the face of his words, a disdainful smile even appearing on his face.
"Fang Yan, I advise you to release me as soon as possible, then obediently kowtow three times to me, and serve me a good meal and drink. I might consider sparing your lives. Otherwise, when my reinforcements arrive, you won't even have a chance to beg for mercy."
Seeing Elder Hao's appearance, the students' faces showed even more despair, while Fang Yan looked at Elder Hao in a daze.
"Looks like this old bastard has really been beaten senseless. Second brother, go and give him two big slaps to bring him to his senses."
Fang Yan waved his hand at the Second Elder of Demon Flame Valley.
"Understood, big brother, I'll bring him to his senses." Hearing this, the Second Elder of Demon Flame Valley stood up with a sinister smile.
But the moment Elder Hao saw the Second Elder of Demon Flame Valley stand up, his expression finally changed slightly.
"Damn it, I spoke too soon!"
Elder Hao suddenly regretted his hasty insults; those two slaps were probably for nothing.
Just as he was thinking this, the previously calm valley space suddenly rippled, followed by a spatial impulse.
The next moment, a young man in black robes emerged from the space, followed by ten students.
Upon seeing the black-robed youth, the expressions of the people from Demon Flame Valley changed, while Elder Hao, seeing the young man's figure, slowly grinned to his ears.
"Heh heh, the end has come for you three old geezers!" Elder Hao couldn't help but laugh wildly.
"A spatial wormhole! Could there be a Dou Zun level expert in Canaan Academy?!" The three elders of Demon Flame Valley showed a hint of apprehension.
However, they hadn't expected Xiao Yan to be that Dou Zun expert, given his incredibly youthful appearance; even being a Dou Huang seemed unbelievable.
"The deed is done. I refuse to believe a mere youth could possess such extraordinary abilities!" Fang Yan sneered, looking at his two brothers.
"Second brother, third brother, let's attack quickly, capture these people, and return to the valley.
With the Valley Master's protection, I don't believe Canaan Academy would actually send out a Dou Zun level expert."
Hearing this, the second and third elders nodded slightly, their eyes showing a hint of seriousness, before transforming into black shadows and launching a sneak attack on Xiao Yan.
"These three old bastards are truly courting death."
Seeing the actions of the three elders of Demon Flame Valley, Elder Hao's smile widened.
Xiao Yan, having stepped out of the spatial dimension, also wore a mocking smile upon witnessing the scene.
He casually waved his hand three times in the air, producing a series of sharp, cracking sounds.
The next moment, three black shadows shot backward like cannonballs.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The three elders of Demon Flame Valley crashed into the cliff face of the valley, creating several craters.
As the smoke cleared, the three old men's faces were swollen, spitting out a mouthful of blood mixed with broken teeth, their faces filled with disbelief.
"How is this possible? How can a mere youth be so strong!"
The three exchanged glances, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
Even an ordinary Dou Zong couldn't have beaten them all to this state so easily. Could this youth truly be a Dou Zun expert?
This thought surfaced in their minds, leaving them even more bewildered.
When did such a young powerhouse appear at Canaan Academy? Or perhaps, is this person some old monster who has controlled his appearance?
However, Xiao Yan, in the distance, ignored their astonishment. He casually flicked three streams of Dou Qi into the three men's bodies, and their auras deflated rapidly like punctured balloons.
With just a slight movement, Xiao Yan easily sealed their cultivation.
Seeing this, the group of students behind Xiao Yan, though already aware of his terrifying strength, were still shocked by his move.
As for the lackeys of Demon Flame Valley, they stared at Xiao Yan as if they had encountered a ghost.
The kidnapped outer court students, however, wore expressions of shock and worship; Xiao Yan's appearance was like a divine intervention to them.
Ignoring their expressions, Xiao Yan casually unleashed a dozen more streams of Dou Qi, and the powerhouses from Demon Flame Valley were sealed before they could even resist.
The Canaan Academy members had their seals broken by this battle qi, and their ropes were also torn.
"Elder Hao, I'm so sorry I'm late."
Xiao Yan smiled at Elder Hao.
Elder Hao's old face was already beaming with joy.
"Hehe, not late, not late. Elder Xiao Yan, you've arrived just in time."
A moment later, the people by the campfire were replaced by Canaan Academy members, while the Demon Flame Valley members were tied up to the side. This was a classic case of the wheel of fortune turning.
Looking at the three elders of Demon Flame Valley who were tied up, Elder Hao walked over with a smile and looked at the First Elder, Fang Yan.
"Do you know where you went wrong?"
"Yes, yes." Fang Yan nodded hurriedly.
"You know, and you still dare to kidnap me!" Without saying a word, Elder Hao gave him two large blows, directly making Fang Yan, whose cultivation was sealed, see stars.
Then he looked at the Second Elder beside him.
"Do you know where you went wrong?"
The Second Elder hesitated for a moment, then tentatively said, "No."
"Slap! Slap!" Elder Hao slapped him twice more with his large leather slaps.
"Looks like you're unrepentant."
Then he looked at the Third Elder.
"Do you know where you went wrong?"
The Third Elder swallowed hard, then suddenly had an idea.
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
"Slap! Slap!"
Elder Hao slapped him twice more with his large leather slaps.
"You fucking lost your vocal cords at home."
While Elder Hao was bullying the Third Elder in the valley, Xiao Yan had already arrived at another location with a prisoner from Demon Flame Valley.
This was also a long and narrow valley, but it was many times larger than the small valley before.
The valley stretched for hundreds of miles, with abundant energy, and was considered a feng shui treasure land in the Black Corner Region. This was the stronghold of Demon Flame Valley, an old power in the Black Corner Region.
However, this stronghold had now been targeted by Xiao Yan.
"This place can serve as a branch of the Flame Alliance in the Black Corner Region." Looking at the auspicious land beneath his feet, Xiao Yan smiled.
Given the Flame Alliance's current momentum, by the time he becomes a Saint, it might be a dominant force in the Northwest Continent. As for the Black Corner Region, this lucrative prize, Xiao Yan had no intention of letting it slip away.
"Robbery!"
Above the sky, Xiao Yan shouted, his voice carrying a surge of powerful Dou Qi that instantly reverberated throughout the entire Demon Flame Valley.
Such a sound naturally shook everyone in the Demon Flame Valley.
The next moment, dozens of figures flew out from all corners of the valley on wings of Dou Qi, their faces filled with shock and anger.
The Demon Flame Valley had dominated the Black Corner Region for many years, but this was the first time they had encountered someone daring to barge into their mountain gate and shout "Robbery!"
"Who dares to come to my Demon Flame Valley to rob us? You're tired of living!"
A Dou Huang expert spoke first from the crowd.
The moment his words fell, a vast and powerful aura surged forth from Xiao Yan's body. Instantly, all the Dou Wang and Dou Huang within a thousand feet of Xiao Yan paled upon sensing this terrifying aura.
They were then directly pressed to the ground by this terrifying power.
For a moment, the entire valley fell silent.
This seemingly youthful fellow was actually a super strong expert of unfathomable strength.
Ignoring the astonishment on their faces, Xiao Yan calmly fixed his gaze on a certain direction in Demon Flame Valley, and his resounding voice, carrying terrifying soul power, swept over them.
"Old Demon Demon, if you don't come out soon, I'll have to make my move!"
