Chapter 83 The Awkward Old Medicine Master!
The roof and beams of the council hall
Before this domineering and unparalleled golden flame, it was as fragile as paper, instantly torn apart and vaporized.
Not even a speck of ash remained!
The scorching heatwave swept out like a tsunami.
Xiao Zhan, the three elders, and all the juniors were thrown into chaos.
"What...what is this?!"
Xiao Zhan got up, covered in dust and dirt.
His face was filled with horror, his eyes fixed on the source of the anomaly.
Xiao Xun'er was seen clutching her chest.
His face was slightly pale, and he was kneeling on one knee, seemingly trying his best to suppress something.
"A strange fire?! It's the legendary strange fire?!"
The elder screamed in terror, his voice distorted.
Such devastating firepower, far exceeding their comprehension,
Apart from those that exist in ancient books and legends
What else could a strange fire possess such unfathomable power be?
However, before everyone could recover from this sudden turn of events,
"call..."
Another flame, pale in color and with an eerie aura,
It floated out silently from the storage ring on Xiao Yan's finger.
The flames were sometimes chilling and piercing, as if they could freeze time and space, and sometimes they were blazing and violent, burning the sky and boiling the sea!
Startled, Xiao Yan jerked the storage ring to the ground.
At this moment, two strange flames, vastly different in nature yet equally powerful,
It just floated quietly in mid-air.
Surprisingly,
Contrary to legend, they did not devour or fight each other; instead, they were surprisingly "docile."
The flames flickered slightly.
It slowly lowered and swayed towards the illusory images of the phoenix tree and the hibiscus tree in the sky.
It was as if they were silently... surrendering and worshipping!
"Miss! Are you alright?"
Ling Ying, lurking in the shadows, sensed the change and appeared like a ghost.
He immediately stood behind Xiao Xun'er to protect her.
"I'm fine... it's just that this fire is being drawn by the aura of the heavens, and it's a little... hard to suppress!"
Xiao Xun'er endured the backlash from the raging strange fire within her body.
Gently shake your head.
His gaze was unusually sharp, fixed on the black storage ring on the ground.
Everyone was stunned by the extraordinary sight of strange fires paying homage to the heavens, their minds reeling.
Only Ling Ying noticed it immediately.
The look in his young mistress's eyes,
A Dou Huang-level aura was suddenly released, and he shouted sharply:
"Who are you, hiding your head and tail? Show yourself!"
Xiao Yan's mind was in complete chaos at this moment.
Look at the powerful man in black who suddenly appeared.
Then look at your storage ring, from which a strange flame flew out.
Shocked by Xun'er's hidden identity,
He was also surprised and wondered what exactly was hidden in his storage ring!
"well..."
A sigh that seemed to have traversed endless years echoed softly from the storage ring.
Immediately afterwards,
A somewhat ethereal, white-haired old man's soul slowly emerged.
"I never expected to be exposed in this way..."
Even more unexpectedly, such an earth-shattering change has occurred in this world…
Yao Chen looked up at the Fusang Divine Tree in the sky.
Even in a soul state, one can feel that terrifying oppression originating from the source.
He could sense the chilling power emanating from the Bone Spirit Flame.
An unprecedented fear, submission, and... a hint of greedy desire that even he found chilling.
"The flame inherent in a single spiritual root far surpasses the power of a strange fire..."
And there are countless rare and precious materials scattered everywhere, truly divine creations... If only we could obtain them..."
Yao Chen's thoughts drifted away.
"Who exactly are you?!"
Xiao Xun'er's icy voice interrupted his musings; the girl's eyes were sharp as knives.
"Why are you lurking around Brother Xiao Yan? What are you plotting?"
Yao Chen was interrupted and said irritably:
"You little brat, how can you have no respect for your elders..."
You'd better tell the truth!
Xiao Xun'er's tone was even colder, carrying an overbearing and unusually oppressive air.
Upon hearing this, Ling Ying's aura became even more solid, and she locked onto Yao Chen.
Xiao Yan, who was listening from the side, was both shocked and moved.
She was shocked to discover that the storage ring she carried with her contained such a mysterious old man.
Touched by Xiao Xun'er's attitude of defending herself without asking why.
The conversation between the two,
This also completely attracted the attention of Xiao Zhan and the three elders.
Although the three elders were shocked by the terrifying aura that Ling Ying displayed,
But considering Xiao Xun'er's mysterious background, it's not too surprising.
Xiao Zhan, however, was on edge, both shocked and furious.
How could such a mysterious and powerful figure have been hiding by his son's side all this time?!
Yao Chen sensed Ling Ying's undisguised hostility and fixation, then glanced at the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame in the air.
They had already guessed seven or eight parts of Xiao Xun'er's identity.
"I am Yao Chen, a name you should have heard of."
He stopped beating around the bush and revealed his name.
"Medicine dust?"
Xiao Xun'er frowned slightly and quickly searched her memory.
Ling Ying, standing to the side, slightly changed her expression and whispered:
"The Pavilion Master of the Meteor Pavilion, the renowned Medicine Venerable of Central China, Yao Chen?!"
Ling Ying instantly felt as if facing a formidable enemy, his fighting spirit surging as he protected Xiao Xun'er even more tightly:
"You...you weren't already dead? How could you...appear beside Young Master Xiao Yan?!"
Xiao Xun'er's eyes flashed, clearly indicating that she had already remembered who the other party was.
The doubt and wariness in his eyes deepened.
Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan, and the others were completely baffled.
The titles of Yao Chen, Venerable Yao, and Meteor Pavilion held little significance for the Xiao family, who lived in a remote corner of the country.
It's too far away.
Judging from Ling Ying's reaction alone, this "Yao Chen" must have an incredibly powerful background.
Yao Chen's soul appeared somewhat desolate:
"Let bygones be bygones."
He looked at Xiao Xun'er and Ling Ying, who both looked wary.
He then glanced at Xiao Yan, who looked nervous and confused, and explained:
As for why I am here...
This storage ring originally belonged to me, but by some twist of fate, it ended up in his mother's hands.
Finally, it came down to this kid!
"I have no ill intentions toward this little fellow."
On the contrary, I must thank him for the nourishment he has given me over the years, which has allowed me to awaken from my slumber..."
"Nourishment with battle qi?"
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then it was as if a thunderbolt had exploded in his mind!
"You...you!!!"
Xiao Yan pointed at Yao Chen's soul form, trembling with rage, his eyes turning red.
"My battle aura that mysteriously disappeared all these years... it was all your doing! You were the one who did it!!!"
Xiao Zhan instantly understood.
Thinking of the ridicule and suffering my son has endured over the past three years,
He couldn't help but clench his fist.
He glared at Yao Chen.
If they hadn't known the vast difference in strength, they probably would have already rushed forward and fought to the death.
The three elders and a group of younger members of the Xiao family were dumbfounded, their hearts filled with shock and disbelief.
Their Xiao family's most dazzling genius was reduced to a useless person for this reason?
In a short time,
The gazes of the crowd toward Yao Chen turned hostile.
Xiao Xun'er's gaze was even colder than ice.
She witnessed firsthand how Xiao Yan fell from grace and endured countless cold stares and hardships over the years.
The thought that this person was the source of all this suffering...
A murderous intent welled up in her heart.
Yao Chen felt the gazes that seemed to want to devour him alive, and he couldn't help but touch his nose guiltily.
He knew perfectly well that
If we cannot offer the other party a solution today.
Especially given Xiao Xun'er's satisfactory explanation, it's unlikely things will end well.
Given his current condition,
That Douhuang guard alone is enough to give him a hard time.
