Battle Through the Heavens: Reap the Red Lotus Karmic Flame at the Start

618. Divide the troops into two routes.

"But..." Yao Qingyu couldn't accept abandoning Xuan Yi and escaping on her own after hearing Xiao Yan's decision. After this trip to the Pill Gathering and the complete exposure of her identity, her feelings for Xuan Yi were also changing.

Xiao Yan didn't overlook this matter and solemnly said to Yao Qingyu, "Qingyu, I'm going to rescue Master's wife!"

"Senior Brother Xiao Yan?" Yao Qingyu looked at Xiao Yan in front of her and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan smiled and said, "What, don't you trust me?"

"Senior brother...it's just too dangerous along the way..." Her emerald robe was torn in several places by the aftershocks of energy, and her face was still stained with blood from the self-destruction of the spirit guards, yet she insisted through trembling, "If you want to go, I'll go with you!"

"Qingyu, you're only at the Dou Zong level. Going there would only cause trouble."

Wei Jiangyuan stepped forward and said with a grin, "However, it's really not appropriate for Lao Xiao to go alone. I'll go with him. We need to make a good impression on President Xuan Yi."

"I'll go too, brother! I could tell just now that they didn't dare to lay a hand on me. I'll definitely be able to help you if I go." Lei Jingxiao slammed his golden spear heavily on the ground, the lightning patterns on the spear tip exploding into spiderweb-like cracks on the blue bricks. The lightning patterns on his neck had not yet faded.

Xiao Yan looked at the two people in front of him, and then glanced at them again. He noticed that Qing Lin's eyes were also full of expectation. There was no doubt that as long as he asked, Qing Lin would definitely follow him.

However, Xiao Yan still shook his head: "No one needs to accompany me, I can go alone."

"The fact that they can appear here so openly tonight means they must have come prepared. It's impossible that no one is dealing with the three giants of the Pill Tower. Young Master, please reconsider!" Fei Tian also took the initiative to dissuade him.

At this moment, not only Fei Tian, ​​but almost everyone present was not supportive of Xiao Yan going to fight alone. Then everyone realized with surprise that only Little Fairy Doctor, the person most qualified to persuade Xiao Yan, remained silent.

Xiao Yan looked over, and their eyes met. Little Fairy Doctor had a strange feeling: Xiao Yan had been staring at her for a very long time.

"There's no point in you coming with me. We don't even know how many spirit guards are left in the Pill Tower. None of you can break through their space-sealing ability. Only I can. It's safest for me to go alone."

At this point, all the words of advice that others might have had were immediately silenced. The reason was simple: Xiao Yan was slightly wrong. Apart from him, no one else really had any way to deal with that terrifying Spirit Clan's air restriction ability.

"What happens next?" Mu Qingluan asked proactively. "Without you, Senior Brother, what should we do if we encounter Spirit Guards?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan looked at Mu Qingluan with a helpless expression. He knew that Mu Qingluan was not insisting that he come along because she was worried about his safety, but rather that she wanted to persuade Xiao Yan to leave with them in this way.

"Everyone saw the battle just now. The Spirit Guards of the Spirit Clan are fundamentally different from other members of the clan. I believe that the number of Spirit Guards cannot be too large." Xiao Yan said calmly at this moment, "When you go down later, Qing Lin, Lao Wei, Venerable Ming Shui, and Valley Master Tang Zhen will line up on the four sides of the group, and let Xiao Lei clear the way. Leaving the Pill Tower should not be a problem."

With the addition of Ming Shui and Tang Zhen, Xiao Yan's team now boasts eight Dou Zun-level fighters. Even if Xiao Yan were separated from the main group, the other seven would still form an extremely powerful squad within the Pill Tower. Furthermore, with Qing Lin's ability to kill a Dou Zun with a mere flick of the wrist, Xiao Yan felt confident leaving with them.

After all, with his insight, he had already discerned the flaws in the Spirit Race's spatial control ability during the previous battle. One was that it required time to prepare and could not be activated instantly. The other was that the range of control was limited depending on the user's strength.

With proper preparation, and unless ambushed, there are ways to counterattack. In the battle just now, Qinglin personally demonstrated how to break through Lingzhuo's air barrier.

With Mu Qingluan persuaded, no one could think of any other reason to stop Xiao Yan. Those closest to Xiao Yan understood his attitude towards those important to him. Since Xuan Yi was Xiao Yan's teacher's wife, he would absolutely not give her up.

"It's settled then, we'll split into two groups."

At this moment, everyone reluctantly accepted Xiao Yan's idea. Yao Qingyu looked at Xiao Yan with complicated feelings. On the one hand, she really couldn't just abandon her mother. On the other hand, she felt very guilty seeing Xiao Yan go on an adventure alone.

She wanted to go, but as Wei Jiangyuan said, with her Dou Zong strength, she would only cause trouble for Xiao Yan.

"Senior brother..." Yao Qingyu looked at Xiao Yan, and her eyes involuntarily reddened under such dangerous circumstances.

Xiao Yan simply patted Yao Qingyu's head and said to her, "Don't worry, I will do everything I can to bring Master's wife back."

Then Xiao Yan looked at Little Fairy Doctor and took out the jade pendant that connected with Mu Qingluan. He instructed her, "This is the jade pendant that connects Senior Mu and Senior Chen Wei. The Spirit Clan has a way to isolate spatial communication. Try to find a way to do this after you get out. We'll be safe once they arrive."

Little Fairy Doctor silently put away the jade pendant. Xiao Yan, seeing the silent Little Fairy Doctor, felt a pang of sympathy and whispered an apology: "I'm sorry..."

Little Fairy Doctor shook her head directly, then gently leaned against Xiao Yan and said softly, "It is precisely because you would make this choice in this situation that I fell in love with you without hesitation."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan felt a sense of relief. If the situation hadn't been so tense, he would have even felt the urge to give Little Fairy Doctor a big hug.

Then, Little Fairy Doctor solemnly said to Xiao Yan, "You must also promise me that you will prioritize your own safety. The child..."

"I haven't seen my father yet..."

Xiao Yan also fell silent. At this moment, any words would be pale and powerless. In fact, in his heart, he could never let go of Little Fairy Doctor and the unborn child. He nodded solemnly to Little Fairy Doctor.

Then Xiao Yan solemnly instructed Lei Jingxiao, "Little Lei, take good care of Sister Xian'er."

Lei Jingxiao nodded seriously and said to Xiao Yan, "Brother, if you really can't win, just surrender. I'll go back to the clan immediately and ask Aunt Yan to go to the Spirit Clan to rescue you."

Xiao Yan looked at his simple-minded "younger brother" who had always followed him and nodded with a smile.
