182. On the eve of departure
As time passed, the azure flame was gradually extracted by Yan Di. After the last trace of flame in his dantian was extracted, a lotus-shaped, lively azure flame appeared in Yan Di's palm.
The terrifyingly hot Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, originating from the Earth's core, was held in Yan Di's palm. Yan Di forcibly suppressed the flame with his cultivation, preventing it from leaving his grasp. When Gu He saw the strange flame that had caused him so much suffering during the fusion period being played with like a toy by Yan Di, his heart sank.
The gap in strength is just too big!
Seeing Gu He collapse to the ground after his primordial fire was extracted, Yan Di's eyes flashed with pity.
He tossed out a jade bottle and said, "Inside this jade bottle is the Flame Spirit Pill, which will be of some benefit to your injuries that have damaged your core essence."
Gu He forced himself to sit up, took the jade bottle in his hand, and said, "Thank you for the medicine, senior."
Looking at the desolate Guhe River, Yan Di explained, "You should understand the principle that 'a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.'"
Without saying anything more, he casually opened a spatial rift and left the place.
Seeing Yan Di leave, Gu He slammed his fist on the floor, looked at the jade bottle in his palm, and made as if he was about to smash it.
With a struggle in his eyes, he still poured out the pills from the jade bottle and swallowed them in one gulp.
Without strength, you have nothing. Guhe truly understood this profound truth tonight.
……
Xiao Yan stood on the edge of Black Mountain Fortress, gazing into the distance from the edge of the fortress. The scene was quite magnificent. In front of Black Mountain Fortress stretched an endless expanse of wilderness; it was no wonder that such a natural barrier had protected the peace of the Jia Ma Empire for hundreds of years.
Looking up, the sky above Black Mountain Fortress was also unusually lively. Flying magical beasts were constantly streaking across the sky, all belonging to the Heavenly Serpent Palace, carrying out the relocation of people from the outskirts of the Gama Empire in full swing.
Although most of the flying magical beasts were of low grade, the ability to tame such a large number of them was enough to prove the strength of the behemoth that was the Heavenly Serpent Palace! The Heavenly Serpent Palace, which would dominate the Northwest Region for the next ten years, was no longer comparable to what it used to be!
Thanks to the assistance of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, after three days of hard work, the relocation work is more than halfway complete, and most of the ordinary people near the Black Mountain Fortress have been completely evacuated. At this moment, Xiao Yan is also personally testing the intensity of the poisonous fog. Even though the poisonous fog opposite the Black Mountain Fortress has spread for three days, as long as one has the cultivation level of a Dou Shi, one will not be affected.
"I can leave now with peace of mind." Xiao Yan said to himself. Today was the last day of the seven days that Yan Di had given him. Whether Xiao Yan wanted to or not, he had to go to the Yan Clan with Yan Di tomorrow.
Fortunately, with the help of the Heavenly Serpent Palace, the problem of the poisonous fog has been basically resolved, and the disaster caused by Little Fairy Doctor has finally come to an end.
Thinking of Little Fairy Doctor, Xiao Yan felt somewhat helpless. He wanted to help his old friend, but the fully unleashed Calamity Poison Body was beyond his control. Yan Di was also at a loss with Little Fairy Doctor, who had lost her mind. If it weren't for Xiao Yan's presence, Little Fairy Doctor would probably have already been used by Yan Di as a trump card in future battles. Although she was under control now, it only delayed things a little longer. Even if Yao Lao were here, he would probably be helpless in the face of Little Fairy Doctor in this state.
Xiao Yan could only pray in his heart that someone in the Yan Clan was capable and willing to help Little Fairy Doctor control her Calamity Poison Body! That Calamity Poison Body was the result of slaughtering hundreds of thousands of people and being nourished by the blood and flesh of so many people, which had now fully erupted.
Of course, even if Little Fairy Doctor could control herself, how would she face everything she had done in the future? Although Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor's initial acquaintance wasn't harmonious, Xiao Yan knew that deep down, Little Fairy Doctor was a kind-hearted girl. Even the thought of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood that had turned hundreds of thousands of people into this world made Xiao Yan's scalp tingle, and Little Fairy Doctor, once she regained her senses, might have to face everything alone.
As a friend, Xiao Yan could only try to minimize the impact.
Of course, having paid such a high price, the reputation of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion and Xiao Yan began to soar at an alarming rate throughout the Jia Ma Empire. Even toddlers knew of Xiao Yan and the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, and Xiao Yan himself had heard of the matter. Xiao Yan knew that things were probably not so simple; there must be a force pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Although he knew about it, Xiao Yan didn't really take it to heart. Firstly, he was about to leave the Jia Ma Empire, and the Xiao family had completely left. He probably wouldn't be returning for a long time, so what happened there wouldn't concern him much. Secondly, the Jia Ma Empire was now completely under the control of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, and no one from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion would do anything detrimental to Xiao Yan. Therefore, Xiao Yan simply let it go.
Just as Xiao Yan finished testing the poison gas and was about to leave, Yang Lingyan arrived at the same spot and found him.
Yang Lingyan looked at Xiao Yan with some reluctance: "Brother Xiao, are you really leaving tomorrow?"
Xiao Yan only told Yang Lingyan that he was leaving the next day, without revealing the real situation. After all, Yan Di's strength was simply too great, and even if they asked Yang Zhishuang, the patriarch of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, to help, there wouldn't be enough time. Xiao Yan didn't want to cause Yang Lingyan and the Heavenly Serpent Mansion unnecessary worry, so he simply kept the matter a secret.
Xiao Yan nodded to Yang Lingyan: "My family is no longer here. If it weren't for a chance encounter, I would have already gone to Zhongzhou long ago."
Hearing Xiao Yan's reply, Yang Lingyan felt a pang of sadness and reluctance: "I really wanted to go and explore the Central Plains with you!"
Xiao Yan patted Yang Lingyan on the shoulder and laughed, "Uncle Yang, besides ensuring your safety, what other purpose do you think it is for having two seniors follow you?"
After Qing Lin left, Yang Lingyan became the only candidate to inherit the Heavenly Serpent Mansion. Moreover, Yang Lingyan and Xiao Yan achieved the best results in the history of the Myriad Beasts Space together, leaving them no chance to escape.
Yang Lingyan gritted his teeth and waved his hand, saying, "When I get home, I'll make my dad work hard to give me a little brother!"
Upon hearing this, both Xiao Yan and Yang Lingyan burst into laughter.
Xiao Yan had to admit that Yang Lingyan's arrival had indeed brought him a lot of fun. After Yang Lingyan learned that Xiao Yan was there, he simply refused to leave, completely forgetting about his original mission to wipe out the remnants of the Xuanwen Sect.
Xiao Yan even suspected that this guy had come for him from the very beginning!
After explaining everything, Yang Lingyan said mysteriously, "Brother Xiao, I have one last gift for you!"
