Flame Emperor, Xiao Yan
Bo Shui Continent.
Lin Dong tracked his way to this advanced continent, which is separated from the Martial Spirit Continent by seven or eight continents and several seas, following the intelligence he had gathered.
The Bo Xuan Main City.
Lin Dong, who had just stepped out of the intercontinental Teleportation Spirit Array within the city, was about to walk out of the city when a tall, slender figure carrying Ancient Black Ruler suddenly entered his field of vision.
The man was a handsome young man in his early twenties, tall and slender, wearing a long black robe, with a dazzling Fire Seal between his eyebrows, and an elegant demeanor.
But at this moment he looked travel-worn, his lips tightly pursed.
"What a coincidence, we arrived at our destination together."
Lin Dong skipped a beat, and he quickly followed, patting the man on the shoulder from behind in a familiar manner. "Hey, friend."
Before Lin Dong could even pat the man's shoulder, the black-clad youth transformed into a bolt of Silver Lightning and vanished from the spot, with faint rumbling sounds echoing around him.
"Call out!"
At the same time, a sharp whooshing sound suddenly came from behind Lin Dong.
"Space Ancestral Symbol, Space Teleportation!"
He did not retaliate, but instead activated the Space Ancestral Symbol to leave the original location.
"Friend, there's no need to be so nervous, is there?"
Lin Dong, who appeared dozens of feet away, shrugged, indicating that he was harmless.
"It's you, the one from the Plane Passage..."
The handsome young man holding the Ancient Black Ruler suddenly paused, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. He then smoothly put away his weapon, a sight that was quite pleasing to the eye.
"It's me. Come with me. This isn't the place to talk."
Lin Dong pointed to the crowd around him who were about to watch the excitement, and then disappeared into the noisy main road in a few quick steps.
The young man in Ancient Black Ruler black ruler on his back, thought for a moment and then quickly chased after him.
Inside a secluded and simple tavern by the roadside, only two distinguished young men sat facing each other, with a strangely shaped Ancient Black Ruler leaning against the table.
"Let me introduce myself first. Tian Xuan Lin Dong. Like you, I am a visitor from Lower Planes. I just arrived in the Great Thousand World a little over three months ago. Well, we met once in the Plane Passage, so we can be considered friends."
Lin Dong, who was sitting facing north, bowed and greeted him.
"Dou Qi Xiao Yan, greets Brother Lin."
The ever-unrestrained His Majesty Flame Emperor naturally wouldn't be impolite. Seeing Lin Dong's politeness, he immediately addressed him as "Brother Lin."
"Brother Xiao, since we are friends, I will speak frankly. Did Brother Xiao come to the Bo Shui Continent to rescue your relatives and friends who were in distress?"
Lin Dong handed the full porcelain cup to Xiao Yan.
This Flame Emperor Yan must have been traveling non-stop without stopping for a moment, so he looked a little tired, and even his lips seemed a bit dry.
"Brother Lin, where did you learn this from?"
Xiao Yan took a small sip of tea and blew on it discreetly.
"Brother Xiao, there's no need to hide it from me anymore. I stayed at the Martial Spirit Academy on the Martial Spirit Continent for a while recently. I learned this from the Black Tortoise, the Academy Guardian Beast of the Martial Spirit Academy."
"A visitor from Lower Planes who claimed to be Queen Medusa was captured by two Earth Supreme Stage. After obtaining his approximate appearance, I immediately compared him to the stunning woman standing next to Brother Xiao at the time."
"If I'm not mistaken, that person should be Brother Xiao's wife, right?"
Lin Dong twirled the cup in his hand and said slowly.
It seems that this His Majesty Flame Emperor still harbors some wariness towards me.
Indeed, how could someone who fought his way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood and gradually became Emperor Realm expert be trusted without reservation by a few words from others at their first (formal) meeting?
"Phew, that's my wife, Cai Lin."
"After receiving Cai Lin's distress message, I, who had just completed the Spiritual Energy Assimilation, rushed here from the Western Heaven Continent without stopping. I never expected that two mere Fighter Saint... Earth Supreme Stage experts would dare to lay a hand on my wife. How hateful!"
At this point, a startling killing intent flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes.
"We are all visitors from the Lower Planes. We should support each other while we are still in a weak period and our cultivation has not yet returned to its peak. I came here to help Brother Xiao."
"According to the intelligence I have obtained, the ones who are besieging the noble lady are the Wang Brothers, who dominate the surrounding area. They are two Peak Lower Earth Supreme Stage Sovereigns, skilled in combined attacks, and when they join forces, they are comparable to Upper Earth Supreme Stage Sovereigns."
"The Wang Brothers were notorious in the area for their cruelty and lust. The reason they surrounded and captured the noble lady was because they coveted her beauty and wanted to capture her alive."
Lin Dong said leisurely.
"These two Lower Earth Supreme Stage, beings as worthless as pigs, dare to touch my Flame Emperor's people? They are courting death!"
Xiao Yan's face showed a hint of anger, then he solemnly cupped his hands to Lin Dong and said, "I ask Brother Lin to lend me a hand. I will definitely repay you handsomely afterward. To be honest, I am a Spirit Grade Grandmaster Alchemist."
"What a coincidence, I also happen to be a Spirit Grade Grandmaster Artifact Forger."
Lin Dong stood up and bowed.
"Oh~ it seems Yan underestimated Brother Lin..."
Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter.
"Haha, let's go without delay."
With a soft laugh, the two of them vanished in a flash.
Above the vast forest sea in the Northern Region of the Bo Shui Continent, near the outer coast.
"Call out!"
A streak of light swiftly ripped through the azure sky, hurtling towards the distant horizon.
"Damn it, two mere Three-Star Fighter Saint dare to lay a hand on me! Once my cultivation returns to its peak, I will devour you both alive..."
Within the light and shadow, there is a stunningly beautiful figure with alluring curves.
"Hahaha, beauty, where are you going this time? The game is over. You should obediently come back with my brother and me and be your Mountain Stronghold Wife. We'll guarantee you endless riches and glory."
Space suddenly distorted, and two figures appeared one after another in front of the light and shadow.
They were two plain-looking, slovenly middle-aged men whose lewd smiles further ruined their already poor appearance, making them repulsive and causing people to avoid them at all costs.
However, the powerful spiritual energy emanating from the surrounding area indicated that the two were by no means weak.
"Buzz!"
As the light and shadow faded, a graceful figure was revealed beneath.
"Humans, you're asking for death!"
A stunningly beautiful woman in a purple brocade robe stood with her arms crossed, her flawless face filled with Frost as she coldly surveyed the two people blocking her path.
Like a noble His Majesty surveying her subjects, her cold and imposing gaze swept over them, making one's heart skip a beat.
"Gulu, I wonder if you, my beauty, have ever heard the saying, 'To die beneath a peony is to die romantically, even as a ghost.'"
The Wang Brothers' eyes gleamed with lust as they gazed at the stunning beauty with burning desire.
Cold and beautiful, alluring, a scourge to the nation...
Everyone who sees this Beauty Snake for the first time instinctively racks their brains, trying to find every possible word to describe this enchanting beauty.
P. S.: Since someone asked, I'll say it again.
In this book, Lin Dong ascends to immortality earlier than in the original work, so he definitely cannot arrive in the Great Thousand World at the same time as Xiao Yan.
However, I think it would be too boring if two unparalleled geniuses couldn't be active in the same era, showing off and having fun together.
So the timeline was adjusted so that the two still meet in the Plane Passage and arrive at the same time.
I specifically mentioned this issue in the author's notes at the end of the last chapter of Heavenly Profound Arc, "Expedition to the Great Thousand World".
So, if you don't read the book carefully, then don't come here and say there's a problem with the timeline.
I'm not stupid enough to make such an obvious mistake.
