Having lived alone in this world for over a decade, Xiao Yan was unexpectedly fortunate to encounter fellow villagers in the small town of Demon Flame Valley, which greatly pleased him.
As for their differing identities and stances, Xiao Yan didn't care too much; such things could be changed once one possessed absolute power.
If he possessed the cultivation of a Dou Di, or even just a peak nine-star Dou Sheng, then protecting a Soul Clan Saintess wouldn't be a problem.
After all, even Xiao Shaobei was able to protect his little lover and allow her to escape safely. The fact that the Soul Clan still possessed power second only to the Seven Ancient Clans was a testament to Xiao Xuan's leniency.
Otherwise, with the strength of a Dou Di, wiping out the entire Soul Clan bloodline wouldn't have been difficult.
As for whether Xiao Xuan's initial leniency towards the remnants of the Soul Clan was to leave some threats to hone the Xiao Clan's disciples or had other motives, Xiao Yan had no idea.
In short, he didn't believe his ancestor would spare the other party out of kindness and compassion.
However, despite this, Xiao Yan didn't have much real influence within the clan given his current strength. The ordinary Dou Sheng elders only showed him some respect because of his exceptional talent, and more so because of the clan ancestor, Xiao Xuan.
Otherwise, a mere Dou Zong or Dou Zun, no matter how extraordinary his talent, wouldn't be taken seriously by Dou Sheng experts.
Soon, Xiao Yan returned to Demon Flame Valley. After the recent battle, Demon Flame Valley was in ruins, with most of the mountains within a hundred miles flattened by the aftershocks of the Buddha's Wrath Lotus.
However, Xiao Yan wasn't too concerned about this. The reason he attacked Demon Flame Valley was not only because Fang Yan and his two companions dared to provoke him, but also because he coveted the land.
Otherwise, with the strength of Fang Yan and his companions, Xiao Yan could easily kill them with a flick of his finger.
Thinking this, energy surged between Xiao Yan's palms, and soon, a spatial wormhole slowly appeared before him.
He stepped into it, and the terrifying spatial power surged towards him from all sides.
This spatial energy was incredibly powerful; if a Dou Huang level expert were squeezed into it, they would likely face a near-death experience. Even a Dou Zong level expert could only struggle to move within it, cautiously trying to survive.
However, Xiao Yan was no longer the same as before. Now, having reached the Dou Zun realm, he possessed true strength that commanded the awe of all beings and caused the heavens and earth to change color.
He spread his hands, and five strange flames rose and spun before him, quickly opening a spatial tunnel.
A Dou Zun level expert already possessed the terrifying power to create spatial tunnels.
The strange flames slowly rotated before him, and Xiao Yan moved forward like a worm in the dark and mysterious space, while behind him, a spatial tunnel gradually stabilized and took shape.
After several hours, Xiao Yan's soul power, which had been scanning outwards, sensed a familiar large city.
He continued forward until he sensed a suitable spatial node, then gently touched that node with his strange fire.
A silver light flashed, and the darkness before Xiao Yan was slowly expanded by the strange fire into a huge circle of light about ten zhang in diameter.
As this circle of light unfolded, a brand-new, majestic and magnificent city appeared before Xiao Yan.
Looking at the once ordinary Jia Ma Holy City, even Xiao Yan was somewhat surprised.
When he left Jia Ma Holy City, although it had already reached the scale of a large city, it was still just a rudimentary form, inferior even to the Black Seal City. When he
returned to Jia Ma Holy City for the second time to refine the Fallen Heart Flame, he was too engrossed in the process to pay special attention, but he vaguely sensed that Jia Ma Holy City was changing rapidly.
Now, when he returned to Jia Ma Holy City again, it finally possessed some of the characteristics of a first-class city in the Northwest Continent.
The massive city walls, stretching for thousands of miles and reaching heights of tens of meters, along with the countless powerful auras emanating from within, made Xiao Yan realize that the Flame Alliance had finally gained some strength.
Just moments after he manipulated space to appear above the Gama Holy City, powerful auras emanated from within.
In an instant, hundreds upon hundreds of powerful figures with wings of Dou Qi flew out of the city like locusts.
What pleased Xiao Yan even more was that dozens of figures, standing in mid-air, were watching him warily.
These dozens of figures were all Dou Zong level experts.
On the Dou Qi Continent, only those who had reached the Dou Zong realm could be considered true powerhouses.
In ordinary forces, having even one Dou Zong expert in charge was enough to give them a foothold.
Even within a powerful force like the Seven Ancient Clans, a Dou Zong expert is no longer just an ordinary person; they are truly treated as an individual by the higher-ups of their clan.
Therefore, seeing the number of Dou Zong experts the Yan Alliance now possessed, Xiao Yan was finally somewhat satisfied.
"Who are you, daring to trespass into the Yan Alliance's Holy City!" Among the crowd, some Dou Zong experts warily eyed Xiao Yan's figure.
With their cultivation levels, they could naturally sense that this seemingly young man was actually a terrifying Dou Zun expert.
Even with the Yan Alliance's current strength, a Dou Zun expert required caution.
Just as they were thinking this, a powerful aura flew out from the direction of the Yunlan Sect, followed by a hoarse and cheerful voice.
"Ah, the Alliance Leader is back!"
The voice carried a hint of enthusiasm, making one feel warm and friendly, but discerning individuals could detect a touch of flattery within it.
A tall, elderly man flew out from the Yunlan Sect, then flew towards Xiao Yan with a smile.
"Alliance Leader?" The initially wary crowd was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then their expressions changed to one of deep emotion.
This seemingly young man was actually the leader of the Yan Alliance.
Compared to the shock on the faces of these newly arrived powerhouses, the veteran powerhouses of the Yan Alliance were even more astonished.
They clearly remembered that when their leader left the Yan Alliance, he seemed to be only a Dou Zong powerhouse, but now, in less than a year, he had become a true Dou Zun powerhouse.
This was a figure who could truly dominate a region in the Northwest Continent.
With Xiao Yan's appearance, several more powerful auras from the Yan Alliance flew towards the sky, including two Dou Zun auras and two peak Dou Zong auras.
The auras of these two Dou Zun were naturally those of the Heavenly Serpent Palace Master and Venerable Fuding, while the two peak Dou Zong were those of Xiao Li and Cai Lin respectively.
"Oh ho, Brother Fuding, I didn't expect you to have already broken through to the eighth rank."
Xiao Yan nodded slightly to the Heavenly Serpent Palace Master, then looked at Venerable Fuding with a hint of surprise.
He had initially thought that even with Yao Lao's guidance, it would take Venerable Fuding three to five years to reach the Spirit Realm, given his aptitude. He hadn't expected the other to reach it in less than a year.
"Hehe, Alliance Leader, you flatter me. I owe my current success to Venerable Yao's personal guidance," Venerable Fuding said with a smile, though tinged with lingering fear.
Since his trip to the Starfall Pavilion, Venerable Yao, upon learning he was introduced by Xiao Yan, had naturally taught him the method for advancing to the Spirit Realm. However, Venerable Fuding's aptitude was dull, even infuriating Yao Lao to the point of cursing him, ultimately leading to a brutal training regimen.
Recalling this unpleasant experience, Venerable Fuding still felt a lingering fear. Fortunately, hardship is the mother of success, and now he, Venerable Fuding, was a genuine eighth-grade alchemist!
Just as he was secretly pleased and eager to show off his skills to Xiao Yan, he inadvertently discovered that Xiao Yan's soul aura also seemed to possess a mysterious spirituality.
"How is this possible!" Venerable Fuding's eyes widened in disbelief, and he even impolitely probed Xiao Yan's soul with his soul power.
The result left him dumbfounded once again.
"Alliance Leader, you...you've also reached the Spirit Realm?"
Venerable Fuding looked at Xiao Yan blankly.
"Yes, I reached it by accident." Xiao Yan said with a smile.
"You—" Venerable Fuding clutched his chubby chest, speechless. This
was too much of a blow!
However, upon hearing this, Xiao Li looked at Xiao Yan with great delight.
"Little Yanzi, I didn't expect you to have already reached the Dou Zun realm, and even your soul power has reached the Spirit Realm. Very good, very good."
Seeing Xiao Yan's strength improve so rapidly, Xiao Li chuckled, seemingly already envisioning himself soon able to roam freely within the Xiao Clan.
Even when he met those Dou Sheng elders, as long as he said, "My brother Xiao Yan!"
those elders would greet him with smiles and offer him tea.
Compared to Xiao Li's unrestrained smile, Cai Lin's expression softened slightly, though her beautiful red lips were slightly pursed, indicating she was in a very good mood.
Her eyes held a unique gleam.
Her relationship with Xiao Yan was now almost completely intertwined; as the saying goes, familiarity breeds fondness, and her feelings for him were naturally strong. Therefore, upon hearing of Xiao Yan's formidable strength, a sense of joy and pride slowly rose from the depths of her heart.
Just then, a smile, equally ambiguous yet tinged with a hint of underlying passion, quietly met her gaze.
Seeing the unspoken message expressed deep within Xiao Yan's dark pupils, a faint blush rose to Cai Lin's jade-like face.
"Hehe, we can discuss some things later. Cai Lin, Second Brother, you two immediately mobilize three Dou Zong and ten Dou Huang to come with me to the Black Corner Region.
I've chosen a good feng shui location there, suitable as a branch of the Flame Alliance,"
Xiao Yan said with a slight smile.
Upon hearing this, Cai Lin's eyes lit up slightly, and she immediately mobilized her troops, quickly gathering the forces Xiao Yan needed.
This Snake-People Queen's formidable leadership was no less impressive than her talent.
"Alliance Leader!" Upon seeing Xiao Yan, the thirteen powerful figures showed respectful expressions.
"Not bad, all very capable!" Xiao Yan nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go, follow me first."
With that, he led everyone into the spatial wormhole.
Now that the spatial tunnel had been successfully constructed, the journey was naturally much faster than before, and in the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the group arrived back at Demon Flame Valley.
Upon seeing Xiao Yan, the people in Demon Flame Valley bowed respectfully to him with expressions of awe.
However, at this moment, a silver figure, wielding wings of battle qi, sped towards Xiao Yan.
"Xiao Yan!" Han Yue's voice was filled with joy; they had arrived at Demon Flame Valley under Xiao Yan's guidance.
Unexpectedly, the once arrogant and domineering experts of Demon Flame Valley became extremely respectful upon seeing them.
However, as Han Yue approached Xiao Yan, an even more beautiful figure quietly appeared before her.
The woman wore a magnificent purple robe, and the glimpses of skin she occasionally revealed were even better than Han Yue's. Her stunningly beautiful face made Han Yue feel unprecedented pressure.
What made her even more uncomfortable was the seemingly intimate relationship between this alluring woman and Xiao Yan.
In an instant, even though Han Yue's temperament was usually quite composed, she still felt incredibly uncomfortable.
On the other hand, Cai Lin, seeing Han Yue's expression, immediately understood something in
her long, narrow eyes. "I really didn't expect that you would have another younger sister in less than a year since you left,"
Cai Lin's voice was sweet, but there was a subtle chill in it.
"It's been almost a year, and I've only added one more. That's a lot less than last year, okay?"
Xiao Yan thought to himself, but dared not say it aloud.
If he did, the Queen's sword might just be aimed at his waist.
Fortunately, Xiao Li was there to smooth things over.
He smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, my brother is really a scoundrel, but you should be able to sense that he has feelings for you."
"Hehe, the Flame Alliance is about to take over Demon Flame Valley. If you're interested, why don't we take a look around?"
Han Yue was slightly taken aback, and then Xiao Yan spoke up again, "Yue'er, come along. Some things we have to face sooner or later."
"Hehe, don't worry, sister, I won't have any hostility towards you. If you don't mind, just call me sister."
At this moment, Cai Lin also spoke slowly.
