The Plan Begins!

Several more months passed. The biggest development in Wutan City was that Canaan Academy had begun its admissions.

Canaan Academy, located in the heart of the Black-Corner Region, was a renowned Dou Qi academy on the Dou Qi Continent. Its strength far exceeded ordinary imagination. Moreover, Canaan Academy had been founded by Mang Tianchi, an elder of the Lei Clan, and was a subordinate force of the Lei Clan.

Entering an academy was the best shortcut to obtaining cultivation methods and Dou Skills. In an academy of Canaan Academy's caliber, those who performed exceptionally or caught the eye of certain instructors might even obtain high-level cultivation methods and Dou Skills. With these two things, they would be much closer to becoming strong.

Cultivation methods, Dou Skills, and medicinal pills—the three most alluring things on the Dou Qi Continent. Canaan Academy possessed two of them. Thus, in the hearts of countless people across the continent, entering Canaan Academy basically meant a worry-free future. Every student who successfully graduated from Canaan Academy would be fought over by various factions as a valuable talent, with a bright future ahead.

Therefore, every year, countless young people from the Jia Ma Empire fought desperately and tried every possible means to squeeze into Canaan Academy.

However, Huo Xuan knew that Canaan Academy's headmaster, Mang Tianchi, had not returned to Canaan Academy for a long time, nor had he provided it with any cultivation resources for ages. The academy's faculty and student body had been steadily weakening. The reason Canaan Academy could still remain famous across the continent was the Fallen Heart Flame within the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Tower.

The Fallen Heart Flame could accelerate cultivation speed. It was precisely by relying on the Fallen Heart Flame that Canaan Academy had been able to produce batch after batch of outstanding students.

Without that Fallen Heart Flame, Canaan Academy's strength would inevitably plummet, and it would eventually be reduced to an ordinary academy.

"Young Clan Leader, Canaan Academy will arrive to recruit students in three days. Also, the Gale Family and the Ouba Family have already begun secretly recruiting men to deal with the Xiao Family."

"Good. Yan Yang, go join them and wipe out the Xiao Family. Remember not to attract anyone's attention. Make it clean," Huo Xuan said to Yan Yang.

"Yes." Yan Yang acknowledged and left.

"What a pity. The Xiao Clan's inheritance of over ten thousand years is about to be cut off." Huo Xuan watched Yan Yang's departing back and muttered.

Yet Huo Xuan did not feel the slightest guilt. After all, he and Xiao Yan were already enemies. Mercy toward an enemy was cruelty toward oneself.

"Xiao Yan, from the day you made the Three-Year Agreement with me, you should have understood that the Xiao Family was destined for this day. I hope you'll like this surprise I've prepared for you..."

Three days later, Canaan Academy arrived in Wutan City to recruit students. After successfully passing the test, Xiao Yan requested another year of leave to train in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Once Canaan Academy had finished recruiting, Gu Xun'er followed the others to Canaan Academy.

Now that all the troublesome people had left, Huo Xuan began carrying out the final step of his plan.

At night, at the Gale Family.

At that moment, numerous experts of the Gale Family had gathered in the Martial Arts Arena. On the high platform, Jia Lie Bi swept his gaze across the several hundred clansmen below, all dressed in black.

Jia Lie Bi spoke, "Everyone! You should all understand why I have gathered you here today. The Xiao Family has now become Wutan City's foremost family. Given the grievances between our Gale Family and the Xiao Family, the Xiao Family will definitely not spare us in the future. Therefore, we must strike first—launch a surprise attack on the Xiao Family and erase them from Wutan City completely."

"Destroy the Xiao Family!"

"Destroy the Xiao Family!"

"Destroy the Xiao Family!"

The many members of the Gale Family shouted loudly in the Martial Arts Arena.

"Mister Yang, we'll have to rely on you again this time."

Jia Lie Bi respectfully said this to the black-robed middle-aged man standing beside him.

"I hope Clan Leader Jia Lie won't forget the reward we agreed upon beforehand," the black-robed man said expressionlessly.

"Hehe, of course not. So long as Mister Yang helps me destroy the Xiao Family, the reward will certainly be generous."

This man known as Mister Yang was Yan Yang. In order to deal with the Xiao Family, Jia Lie Bi had spent heavily to recruit helpers. Under Huo Xuan's instructions, Yan Yang had concealed his strength and joined the force targeting the Xiao Family.

"Move out!" Jia Lie Bi waved his hand, and the clansmen present slipped into the night, racing toward the Xiao Family.

From afar, Huo Xuan hid to one side and watched the crowd from a distance.

"The good show is about to begin!"
