The Trouble Has Been Drawn In
"Big brother, be careful!"
Seventh Order King of Beasts, with combat power comparable to the early stage of Dou Zong, is definitely not something that Nine Star Dou Huang like Fang Yan could withstand.
The second elder of Demon Flame Valley, Jia Yu, and the third elder Shi Ying, quickly gathered together with Fang Yan.
The three of them were engulfed in a gray-brown Transformation Flame, which faintly condensed into a fiery Phoenix.
The Fire Phoenix cried out and clashed with the Golden Striped Tigress three times.
On the contrary, the Golden Striped Tigress, Seventh Order King of Beasts, could not withstand the intense heat of the Transformation Flame and retreated in panic.
The Three Great Elders of Demon Flame Valley all cultivate the "Flame Manipulation Art." Because they share the same technique, their Transformation Flame can merge into one, making it a combined attack technique.
Just like the Gold Silver Duo and the Three Mulan Elders who mastered the "Three Beasts Desolate Wild Decree".
Even if the Three Great Elders of Demon Flame Valley joined forces, they would still be able to fight against Dou Zong, and their combat strength would definitely be much higher than that of the Gold Silver Duo.
Even if Su Qian came, he would have a hard time gaining an advantage against the three of them using their Transformation Flame.
The Golden Striped Tigress twitched her nose; she smelled a unique, burnt aroma.
"My fur! My fur!"
The Golden Striped Tigress discovered that many of her furs had been burned to ash, and cried out in alarm, "You stole my Demon Blood Fruit first, and now you dare to destroy my fur! This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"
Advice in Fang Yan:
"My lord, we were only acting in self-defense and had no intention of harming you. We have never heard of the Demon Blood Fruit you mentioned. Is there some misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding my foot! My elite tiger pack! Let these blind fools see the consequences of offending the Ghost Tiger Clan!"
Seeing the Golden Striped Tigress enraged, Fang Yan could no longer suppress his anger.
The Golden Striped Tigress led her tiger army to the scene and attacked without saying a word, calling him a "dog thief".
Did they really think his Demon Flame Valley was made of mud? Fang Yan whispered to Jia Yu and Shi Ying beside him, and the Three Great Elders all shouted, and the Phoenix formed from the Transformation Flame expanded again, its power soaring.
Even the Golden Striped Tigress dared not approach rashly, and the group of howling tigers behind her only dared to stand still.
Fang Yan coldly, "Tiger Clan of Black Moon Ridge! You brought a large army to cause trouble, and I have already given you enough face by speaking kindly to you. Don't think that you are a mere Seventh Order King of Beasts. Even if your Ghost Tiger Clan's king came, my Demon Flame Valley would not be afraid! You had better think carefully about whether you are qualified to represent your Ghost Tiger Clan!"
The Golden Striped Tigress roared, "You dog! You lured me away to steal the Demon Blood Fruit, and now you're trying to turn the tables on me!"
The Fang Yan finally made it clear that something was wrong:
"What did you say? I led you away? I haven't set foot on Black Moon Ridge for years, and this is the first time I've met you!"
"Do you think I'm a bear? Blind?"
The Golden Striped Tigress seemed to be suppressing her anger. Clearly, after witnessing the Transformation Flame, she knew that the other party was also a tough opponent.
If you force yourself to bite into it, you could very well break your teeth.
"Fine, since you don't admit it, then I'll show you the evidence!"
Zi Yan, who was watching the show from the shadows, kept throwing punches. "What are you chickening out for? Fight! What's with the evidence?"
Yang Shan smiled and said, "That's how it is in the Dou Qi Continent. The most basic rule is that if you can't beat someone, then you have to provide evidence."
Fang Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Golden Striped Tigress wanted to provide evidence.
He was not afraid of the Golden Striped Tigress, but he was afraid of the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King, a peak Seventh Order Peak, deep within Black Moon Ridge! Not to mention him, even the founder of their Demon Flame Valley, the Earth Demon Old Ghost, would not have a high chance of winning against the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King.
At the same time, the Fang Yan can also be analyzed from the Golden Striped Tigress's few words, which may indicate that someone is secretly framing him.
The Golden Striped Tigress said:
"Since you deny ever having met me before, then I will find the person who possesses the Demon Blood Fruit! He is right here in this city! The tiger clan's sense of smell is beyond your human imagination. We'll see how you compensate us then!"
Since it wasn't a good idea to force the issue, Golden Striped Tigress decided to take a hard Fang Yan.
Anyway, Demon Flame Valley doesn't dare to confront Black Moon Ridge head-on.
Fang Yan paused for a moment, then said:
"Then may I ask you to transform into human form, sir?"
The Golden Striped Tigress was over two zhang tall, and as Seventh Order King of Beasts, her strength was so great that if she were to enter the city, many of the buildings inside would likely be destroyed.
The Golden Striped Tigress snorted coldly, her body radiating golden light, and then a beautiful woman appeared from within the golden light.
The beautiful woman floated down in front of Fang Yan, Fang Yan bowed again.
"May I ask how I should address you, sir?"
The beautiful woman said, "Just call me Golden Flower Consort!"
Just as Fang Yan was about to say a few words of flattery to ease the tension, he realized he was about to speak in a dialect.
Fang Bian, who was originally hiding in the City Lord's Mansion, activated his Dou Qi Transformation Wings over.
"Father!"
As Fang Bian drew closer, Golden Flower Consort's face gradually turned ashen.
Fang Bian assumed that Golden Flower Consort was still angry.
He heard their conversation clearly and said respectfully, "Golden Flower Consort, I am the city lord of Demon Flame City. If the person you are looking for is in the city, why don't you let me lead the way?"
Fang Bian's heart was beating a little too fast.
Since becoming the city lord of Demon Flame City, he has never lacked beauties around him, but the Golden Flower Consort before him is both dignified and wild, noble and charming.
In particular, the other party was the concubine of the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King.
This identity made Fang Bian's Feifei.
Of course, despite his thoughts, Fang Bian knew that given his status, he definitely couldn't afford to offend the other party.
"Heh, heh heh. City Lord, is it?"
Golden Flower Consort looked at Fang Yan:
"He called you 'Dad'?"
He smiled apologetically in Fang Yan: "It is indeed my son."
The smile of Golden Flower Consort was anything but a normal smile, "My son, it seems that calling you a scoundrel was truly the right thing to do!"
Suddenly, Golden Flower Consort made her move, unleashing a Palm Force strike towards Fang Bian.
Seeing the Golden Flower Consort's movements, Yang Shan clenched his fist and exclaimed, "Beautiful!"
Fight! Fight until you're red-eyed, then it won't matter whether it was a misunderstanding or not!
The Golden Flower Consort's intervention was completely unexpected by Fang Bian.
Fortunately, Fang Yan reacted quickly and stood in front of Fang Bian.
However, he was clearly outmatched by the Golden Flower Consort on his own, and even after blocking the Palm Force, he found it difficult to breathe.
With the power of this Palm Force, if it were to truly hit Fang Bian, even if he didn't die, he wouldn't have much time left to breathe.
Now it was the Fang Yan's turn to get angry.
Fang Bian was his only son, his own flesh and blood!
"Jin Hua! What do you mean? You shouldn't punish family members! You dare to lay a hand on my son? Believe me, I'll make sure you never return to Black Moon Ridge!"
"You mean your family shouldn't be implicated?"
Golden Flower Consort pointed at Fang Yan's nose and cursed, "You old fool! I've really given you face! You stole my Demon Blood Fruit, then stuffed it into your son's mouth, and now you're telling me not to harm your family!"
Fang Yan: "I really didn't steal your Demon Blood Fruit! You must be mistaken, or someone is framing me!"
Jin Hua's roar echoed through the sky:
"Then where did your son get the Demon Blood Fruit? If you ever wipe your mouth clean before coming to see me, I'll consider it an intentional lie!"
Fang Yan turned around and, through the Daylight Crystal Orb floating in the sky, saw that there was still some powder on Fang Bian's lips and chin.
Fang Yan: "Bian'er, what did you eat?"
"Eat something? I didn't eat anything!"
Fang Bian was terribly flustered and instinctively wiped his mouth with his hand. He never expected that Golden Flower Consort would come here specifically to kill him!
But Fang Yan also began to doubt Fang Bian.
Because he knew that after Fang Bian became the city lord of Demon Flame City, he did indeed frequently send small teams to secretly enter Black Moon Ridge to collect resources.
They always kept a low profile and rarely ventured deep into the mountains, so the Black Moon Ridge side didn't notice.
"Could it really be Bian'er? No, Jin Hua clearly said she saw me!"
While Fang Yan was pondering this, Golden Flower Consort could no longer suppress her anger.
In her opinion, if it really wasn't Fang Bian, why was he so flustered? Fang Yan stood in front of her, his face grave, but he remained silent. Wasn't this just him trying to come up with an excuse? Did he really need to say anything more?
If Fang Bian had only picked the Demon Blood Fruit, that would have been fine, but if he had asked for more compensation, there would have been room for negotiation.
But the other party dug up all three fruit trees, along with the soil on the ground! These three fruit trees were specially entrusted to her by the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King. Every time the three fruit trees bore fruit, she could get one, and the other two had to be given to the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King.
After all, the Demon Blood Fruit would also be of some benefit to the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King.
Little by little, one can accumulate enough strength, and who knows when, the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King will step into the legendary eighth-order realm!
At that time, the Black-Corner Region will be ruled by their Ghost Tiger Clan! With all three fruit trees gone, the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King will surely punish her for failing to guard them properly.
Perhaps because of this incident, the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King's wife will never be able to recover! This is hardly theft!
This is going to plunge Jin Hua into an abyss of no return!
"Die!"
The Golden Flower Consort's eyes were bloodshot, and golden Demon Energy filled the sky.
Fang Yan knew that Golden Flower Consort had lost her mind.
We need to keep her in line first.
"Second brother, Third Brother!"
In an instant, the grayish-brown flames condensed into Phoenix once more.
The Phoenix now appeared even more solid and lifelike than before.
The Golden Flower Consort also regained her original form.
The Fire Phoenix and the Golden Tiger, two colossal beings, battled fiercely in the sky. The sheer scale of their clash was so immense that the energy from their collision even reached the ground.
Although Golden Flower Consort was furious, it did not allow her to defeat the Three Great Elders of Demon Flame Valley.
The Fire Phoenix formed from the Transformation Flame was too powerful, and Golden Flower Consort cherished her fur.
Imagine if her body hair was burned off and turned gray and black; that would greatly affect her beauty.
Could the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King still bring himself to bite her? After exchanging a hundred blows, Golden Flower Consort retreated once again.
"Very well! Very well! I'd like to see if you'll still dare to be so arrogant when my king arrives!"
Fang Yan immediately advised:
"Your Golden Flower Consort, there must be something fishy about this. Please give me a chance! Someone is definitely trying to sabotage this and cause conflict between Demon Flame Valley and Black Moon Ridge!"
After saying that, Fang Yan took out a Jade Bottle from his Storage Ring and threw it over. "This is a bottle of Earth Core Marrow Liquid. Consider it my sincerity. I ask that Golden Flower Consort give me half a month. I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation!"
Earth Core Marrow Liquid is also a spiritual substance that is highly beneficial to magical beasts. Just this one bottle is worth no less than the Demon Blood Fruit.
After confirming the authenticity of the magical object, Golden Flower Consort calmed down a bit.
This matter is indeed somewhat strange, but Demon Flame Valley is still the most suspicious culprit.
Now that the other party has brought out such a valuable item as Earth Core Marrow Liquid, they at least have shown some sincerity.
Good stuff, might as well take it. If the other party can't give an explanation, she can offer the Earth Core Marrow Liquid to the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King and have him step in. Then she can easily get rid of the blame for the loss of the three fruit trees!
But Jin Hua was still furious that the other party had burned her hair:
"Ten days!"
Fang Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"
Golden Flower Consort gave Fang Bian behind Fang Yan a deep look before speaking:
"Let's go!"
At the same time, Yang Shan, who was hiding in the shadows, said, "Zi Yan, let's go, it's time to get down to business!"
