The Last Leisure Before the Final Battle

Outside the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda, Cai Lin looked at the female Dou Zun in front of her, who was dressed in Blood-colored Battle Armor, had a pretty face that looked only sixteen years old, but whose figure was even more exaggerated than her own, and her eyes revealed a lot of kindness.

Seeing her is like seeing myself from back then.

The infamous Yuan Gate Female Devil, feared throughout the Black-Corner Region, is none other than Xiao Yuan's second maid, Xiao Qing Ning.

Of course, this is also Xiao Yuan's number one fanatic.

Even if Dou Di powerful figure in the martial arts world) were to come, as long as he dared to speak ill of Xiao Yuan, Qing Ning would burn her own body and soul, even if it meant not entering reincarnation, just to have a chance to strike.

In the Black-Corner Region, resources are limited. Even with Xiao Yuan frequently sending resources, Qing Ning is only Five Star Dou Zun.

In the Black-Corner Region, he was considered an absolute overlord, and even in the Central State, he was a rare powerhouse.

However, compared to Xiao Yuan's current peak matches where he fights against Five Star Dou Sheng and above, this is clearly not enough.

However, after so many years apart, Qing Ning rushed over as quickly as possible upon hearing that Xiao Yuan had returned.

Cai Lin was one of the companions Xiao Yuan brought with him when he left Jia Nan Academy for Central State. Qing Ning recognized her, so she immediately bowed to greet the Main Wife.

Cai Lin almost completely baffled him.

Although Cai Lin knew a little about Qing Ning, she wasn't the kind of person who needed servants to wait on her while she ate or dressed. After much persuasion, she finally had no choice but to obey the Main Wife's orders and have Qing Ning address her as her sister.

We'll be sisters for life sooner or later anyway, so changing how we address each other beforehand won't hurt.

"They're out."

Suddenly, Qing Ning spoke up.

"Um?"

Cai Lin was taken aback. With Qing Ning's strength, how could she sense Xiao Yuan's presence before her?

Whoosh!

Purple-Gold Light emerged from the void beside them, and three figures flew out from it.

"Sister Cai Lin".

Zi Yan buried her face in Cai Lin's arms and washed it.

Why are you so weak?

Cai Lin didn't care about Zi Yan's groping, but instead noticed the changes in Zi Yan's physique and her weakened aura.

"Hehe, there was a little accident, but I can take it, I didn't die."

Zi Yan stuck out her tongue and said.

"Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python?"

The Jail Dragon Emperor stared intently and recognized the true form of the Cai Lin, letting out a gasp of surprise.

Who is this?

Upon hearing this, Cai Lin looked up and saw the Jail Dragon Emperor dressed in a golden dragon-patterned robe. Sensing the unfathomable Dou Qi emanating from the other party, Cai Lin's tone became more solemn.

"Zi Yan's father, the former Dragon Emperor, Uncle Zhu Kun."

Xiao Yuan knew that Zi Yan wasn't quite used to this new father she had suddenly taken in, so he took it upon himself to introduce Zi Yan.

"So it was Zi Yan's father."

Upon hearing this, Cai Lin nodded and then bowed slightly to the Jail Dragon Emperor, showing respect to the old man out of consideration for Zi Yan.

"Huh? It's a balanced constitution of yin and yang? Or was it acquired later in life?"

Immediately afterwards, the Jail Dragon Emperor noticed the Qing Ning.

"Xiao Yuan, are these all your people?"

What kind of people hasn't the Jail Dragon Emperor seen? He can tell the relationship between Cai Lin, Qing Ning, and Xiao Yuan with just one glance, and he feels a little nauseous.

This guy not only got rid of his precious daughter, but he also gets to enjoy the bliss of having two women at once?

How awful!

Yes, all of them.

Xiao Yuan didn't feel guilty at all, after all, he had a very thick skin, and even a peak-level Ancient Void Dragon like the Jail Dragon Emperor couldn't break through his skin.

"Young master, Qing Ning misses you very much."

Qing Ning doesn't care about the Dragon Emperor; she only recognizes Xiao Yuan.

"It's been so many years, and you haven't changed much. But your aura is quite impressive. You're a formidable expert now, aren't you?"

Xiao Yuan was somewhat surprised to see Qing Ning, who was three sizes larger than she had been back then, but he soon realized that the faint Qing Ning scent on Qing Ning's body couldn't mask the stench of blood.

"This is all thanks to the cultivation resources that you have sent over the years."

Qing Ning's pretty face was slightly flushed at this moment, and her soft-spoken manner would have astonished her subordinates.

"These years must have been tough, right? Let's find a place to talk in detail."

Xiao Yuan smiled. Seeing that Qing Ning was too embarrassed to take the initiative, he simply stepped forward himself, grabbed Qing Ning, who looked like a little maid who was letting him bully her, and led Cai Lin and the others to the Lion Heart Society Old Site.

The old site of the Lion Heart Society was not abandoned. It was not a large area. After the Lion Heart Society grew to become the number one club in the academy, it moved to a better location. The old site is now managed by Xiao Yu. Hu Jia and Wu Hao, who occasionally comes back, stay here. Qing Ning also comes back occasionally to keep Xiao Yu company.

Xiao Ning, Xiao Mei, and the others did not stay at the Jia Nan Academy. Instead, they chose to return to the Jia Ma Empire to help manage some family businesses. Although their talents were far superior to those of ordinary people, they had only reached the Dou Huang Realm.

Xiao Yu has had a tough time these past few years, spending several years alone in her empty room. She also heard that Xiao Yuan was having affairs outside, which inevitably made her feel a little bitter.

They didn't say a word all night.

The next day, Xiao Yu had no energy to get out of bed.

Qing Ning didn't sleep all night.

She was right next door and listened all night.

I can't sleep, I just can't sleep!

After all, he was Dou Zun expert, and even though he hadn't slept all night, he was still in pretty good spirits.

She took Xiao Yuan for a walk around Black Corner.

emmm

Yuan Sect.

This is not a very auspicious name.

But in the Black-Corner Region, or rather, within the Yuan Sect, the meaning is quite simple.

Yuan, the Yuan of Xiao Yuan; Men, the Men of disciples.

Yuan Sect has its own set of rules and regulations for doing things.

But the most crucial rule is to unconditionally obey Xiao Yuan's orders.

It can be said that even the Starfall Pavilion could not be more loyal to Xiao Yuan than the Yuan Sect.

These are all the work of Qing Ning.

This girl treats her sect like a religion.

It is truly a gifted individual.

After all, most of the people in the Yuan Sect came from the Jia Nan Academy, and they were quite familiar with the legends and deeds of Xiao Yuan.

With this foundation, and with the initial guidance from the Lion Heart Society, many people developed a fervent admiration for Xiao Yuan, their senior whom they had never met.

Through Qing Ning's careful management, it has developed into what it is today.

However, Xiao Yuan didn't care much about this. To him, these subordinates were only good for gathering intelligence and earning wages; they were definitely not useful for fighting.

But since it was Qing Ning's heartfelt affection for him, he wouldn't say anything that would spoil the mood.

He's already seen all of that girl's body, and their relationship has progressed to this point. Anyway, the family isn't short of chopsticks. Since so many years have passed and she hasn't left to live her own life, then she should stay and spend the rest of her life with him.

On the third day, Xiao Yuan set off to return to Central State.

With a major battle imminent, that's enough.

My mind is filled with images of soft, fragrant skin like jade, how can I fight like this!

Back in Central State, Xiao Yan had already emerged from seclusion.

Xun'er's gaze towards Xiao Yuan was a little strange.

She foolishly let Xiao Yuan trick her into entering the Heavenly Tomb, just in time to find Xiao Yan was in seclusion refining the Nihility Devouring Flame, being restrained by the aftereffects of the fusion with the Heavenly Flames.

Having tasted the sweetness of the delicacy, the two emerged from seclusion, waiting for Xiao Yuan to return so they could ask him what had happened.

Xiao Yuan doesn't concern himself with his younger brother and sister-in-law's private affairs, so there's no way he'd explain it to them.

They can't exactly say outright that they acted as a behind-the-scenes manipulator so that Xun'er could better accept Cao Ying, can they?

This wasn't a huge bad thing for Xiao Yan, but it was definitely unfair to Xun'er. But there was nothing she could do, since Xiao Yan was her younger brother.

After Xiao Yan devoured the Nihility Devouring Flame, he soared to the Early Eight-Star Dou Saint. Now, apart from Gu Yuan, Hun Tiandi, Jail Dragon Emperor, and Xiao Yuan, even Lei Ying and Yan Jin, who are at the peak of the Eight Star Dou Sheng, would find it difficult to say that they are Xiao Yan's match.

After all, the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame, which has fused with two of the top three Heavenly Flames on the Heavenly Flames ranking list, has undergone a qualitative change in power, and its effect can be described as earth-shattering, capable of burning mountains and boiling seas.

Xun'er also benefited from this and advanced to the Late Five-Star Dou Sheng.

Xiao Yuan, on the other hand, followed the Jail Dragon Emperor and Zi Yan back to Dragon Island without stopping.

This time, Xiao Yuan once again performed a great service by finding the Old Dragon Emperor who had been missing on Dragon Island for many years.

Therefore, the entire Ancient Dragon Clan completely regarded Xiao Yuan as one of their own. Whether it was Zi Yan, the new Dragon Emperor, or Zhu Kun, the Old Dragon Emperor, they all said that Xiao Yuan's word was equivalent to the Dragon Emperor's order, and every member of the Ancient Dragon Clan had to obey.

However, Xiao Yuan wasn't very interested in this. He scattered a batch of pills, took a lot of Medicinal Herbs from the Ancient Dragon Clan, and amidst everyone's grateful farewells, he took the two Dragon Emperor with him and returned to the Starfall Pavilion.

In the following period, Xiao Yuan also began his final pre-battle seclusion.

This is not a case of seeking temporary good fortune.

Instead, Xiao Yuan needed to refine some auxiliary pills to help refine the Embryonic Pill of Emperor Grade pill. Xiao Yuan planned to use his cheat code if things went wrong.

As for unlocking the achievement of refining a complete Emperor Grade Pill, Xiao Yuan will wait until he has the ability to directly refine Emperor Grade Pill before considering that.

In Xiao Yuan's view, refining other people's embryonic pills brought him absolutely no sense of accomplishment.

Thanks to the slow time flow in the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Yuan was able to complete the refining of the pill before Gu Yuan sent the message.

"Why hasn't that kid come out yet?"

Starfall Pavilion, Zhu Kun, who was waiting for Xiao Yuan to emerge from seclusion, couldn't help but mutter to himself.

He dared not say these words to Zi Yan's face.

My daughter will glare at me.

"Let's go, it's time to get going."

Xiao Yuan appeared before everyone without warning.

"Your skills have improved again?"

No one present had better eyesight than Zhu Kun. In addition, Xiao Yuan's aura was inherently difficult to detect. Even Zhu Kun could only sense that he had improved somewhat. As for his specific realm, since Xiao Yuan did not reveal it, he could not tell.

"Hmm, that's considered the early stage of the Seven Stars realm."

Xiao Yuan nodded and said with a smile.

After refining the Ninth Grade Golden Pill, there was still some residual medicinal power in his body. This time, when refining the pill, Xiao Yuan used the Heavenly Flames into a blade and cut off a small fragment of the Embryonic Pill of Emperor Grade. Combined with the medicinal power in his body, he directly broke through to the Seven Star Dou Sheng.

This demonstrates just how terrifying the power within Embryonic Pill of Emperor Grade is.

"Since that's the case, let's set off. Although I don't know much about the Soul Clan's Hun Tiandi's level, judging from your tense demeanor, this battle won't be easy."

Zhu Kun nodded, and with a wave of his hand, Space Channel took shape.

"This time, it's your turn to fight."

The Yao Lao and the others will not participate in the final battle, nor will they even watch it up close.

Even though Xiao Yuan's team was incredibly impressive, those around him couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine with me here."

Xiao Xuan's illusory figure also appeared, standing beside Xiao Yuan.

"Senior."

When Yao Lao and the others saw Xiao Xuan appear, they were also taken aback.

"You're going too?"

Xiao Yuan was somewhat surprised.

"He's going too."

Xiao Xuan shook his head, then looked to the other side of Xiao Yuan's body, where the Purification Lotus Demon Saint, whose figure was also slightly illusory, appeared beside Xiao Yuan.

"Ah?"

Xiao Yuan was stunned to find that these two were also planning to join him in attacking the Soul Clan.

"The souls of two Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint experts."

Zhu Kun hadn't really understood the power around Xiao Yuan so deeply, but he could see the strength of the two soul entities in their previous lives.

Those are all top-tier experts who are no less powerful than him!

Is my son-in-law really that outrageous?

"Let's go, it's time to end this."

A moment later, Xiao Yuan took a deep breath, absorbed the two soul entities into his Qi Mansion, and cast two hand seals. Then, he led Xiao Yan and Zhu Kun into the Space Channel.

This Space Channel will open directly to the outer edge of the Hall of Souls Realm, where they will meet up with Gu Yuan and the others.

As for the members of the Starfall Pavilion, Xiao Yuan's powerful soul force was enough to provide them with a live first-person perspective while they fought.

Outside the Hall of Souls Realm.

When Xiao Yuan and the others walked out of the Space Channel, Gu Yuan and the others had been waiting for a long time.

"Uncle Gu."

As the son-in-law, Xiao Yan had been relentlessly teased by the old man's daughter for three days, so he felt a little guilty and immediately went up to greet her and curry favor.

"I think you're not far from calling me father-in-law."

Gu Yuan could tell at a glance that Xiao Yan's strength had improved significantly again, and he quite approved of this son-in-law.

Xiao Yan, however, thought he had been exposed, and scratched his head with an embarrassed smile, too ashamed to say anything more.

"Huh? And who is this?"

Immediately afterwards, Gu Yuan discovered the super Old Dragon Deng beside Xiao Yuan.

"Zhu Kun, the Old Dragon Emperor of the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe, is my future father-in-law."

Xiao Yuan introduced with a smile.

"So it's Brother Zhu Kun!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan immediately cupped his hands in greeting.

Although he and Zhu Kun were both Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint experts, this Old Dragon Emperor of the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe was probably older than Gu Yuan's grandfather in terms of seniority, so he was not at a disadvantage in this respect.

"Haha, since we are of similar strength, there is no need to be so polite because of our seniority. We can just treat each other as equals."

Although Zhu Kun wasn't exactly easy to talk to, there was no need for him to act superior to his teammates, so he smiled and said...

"Greetings, senior."

But Lei Ying, Yan Jin, and the others weren't so lucky.

They could only treat him with the respect due to a junior.

After all, this is a truly senior figure.

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone got down to business.
