Revealing the Truth

"Are you Xiao Yan?"

Upon closer inspection of the person, Xiao Ning was instantly terrified and retreated repeatedly. He never imagined that Xiao Yan would grow to this level in just one year.

How could Xiao Yan, a three-star Dou Emperor, have improved so quickly? What kind of spiritual medicine or elixir did he consume?

"My cousin Xiao Ning, you ruined my talent, stole my luck, killed my father and brothers, and tarnished my reputation. Today, I will repay you for all these humiliations and hatreds, without missing a single detail!" Xiao Yan channeled his Dou Qi, and fierce flames gathered in his palm before striking Xiao Ning.

"Cousin Xiao Yan, I was wrong, please forgive me!" Xiao Ning suddenly knelt down in front of Xiao Yan, kowtowing repeatedly, crying with snot and tears streaming down his face. His body trembled, and he slapped himself several times, saying, "I was just confused for a moment, I shouldn't have done such an unforgivable thing!"

After saying that, Xiao Ning kowtowed several more times on the ground.

"You were confused for a moment?" Xiao Yan roared at Xiao Ning, who was kneeling and begging for mercy. "You were confused for a moment and you wanted to shatter my dantian? You were confused for a moment and you wanted to kill my two brothers? You were confused for a moment and you wanted to force my father to his death? Today you must die here!"

"Hehe, it's not certain who will die yet." Xiao Ning, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly changed his remorseful attitude and a wicked smile appeared on his face. In that instant, the energy in his body was raised to a level comparable to Five-Star Dou Emperor.

It turned out that he had been deliberately begging for mercy to buy time, so that he could use a secret soul technique to control the Yao Chen in the ring and make the Yao Chen give him a temporary boost in power.

"Die"

Xiao Yan was suddenly startled, and a massive fire-attribute Dou Technique slammed down on Xiao Ning.

Xiao Ning was not afraid at all. He quickly mobilized the Green Lotus Core Flame within his body to confront Xiao Yan head-on.

Of Wan Huo in the world, this Heavenly Flames reigns supreme. The temperature of this Heavenly Flames fire is like the eruption of magma from the ground. In the instant the two men clashed their palms, their long-sleeved clothes were burned to half-sleeves.

Xiao Yan felt a powerful flame energy being injected into his body, constantly damaging his meridians. He was forced to retreat several steps and hurriedly used his Dou Qi to suppress the flame power.

"Hahaha, my good cousin, how does this Heavenly Flames taste?" Xiao Ning's face lit up, his right hand constantly playing with the ball of blue flame in his hand.

This is a renowned Heavenly Flames in the Battle Through the Heavens World, a divine object capable of fighting beyond one's level. Moreover, it currently holds a firm advantage over Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan's desire to kill it is simply a pipe dream.

"Cousin, I thought you were going to be much fiercer, but this is all?" Seeing Xiao Yan Xiao Ning there, not daring to move an inch, Xiao Ning became arrogant as well, sneering, "You think you can kill me just because you got some treasure to boost your cultivation? You piece of trash, you think you can fight me with this level? Even if you had a hundred years, you still couldn't beat me. Your father really died for you in vain."

He kept insulting, roaring, and spewing nonsense at Xiao Yan in the room, and finally kept mocking him, revealing all his arrogance.

"Is that so?" Xiao Yan smiled calmly. He rapidly activated the Fire God Zhu Rong Technique within his body, refining all the Heavenly Flames that were disturbing his body into pure energy. The Dou Qi he released suddenly became much more powerful.

"You..." Xiao Ning felt that the fire element he had unleashed had lost its connection with Xiao Yan's body, and he was horrified.

Undeterred by fate, he unleashed the Green Lotus Core Flame. The fierce Heavenly Flames scorched the space, distorting it violently, and the powerful, high-heat flames swept towards Xiao Yan, burning him relentlessly.

But then something strange happened. Xiao Yan raised his palms, and the raging flames in front of him seemed to be guided, flowing continuously into his palms and being easily refined and absorbed by him.

"Die!" Since the Heavenly Flames had lost its effect on Xiao Yan, Xiao Ning could only choose to use physical attacks to defeat Xiao Yan. He threw a punch and punched Xiao Yan directly in the chest, smashing a big hole in Xiao Yan's chest.

But the next moment, flames erupted from the transparent hole, continuously merging and filling Xiao Yan's damaged body. This was the elemental transformation ability of the Flame-Flame Fruit.

"Is it fun? Let me try it too!" Xiao Yan smiled. As he formed a few hand seals, the Heavenly Flames within Xiao Ning's body seemed to sense some kind of command and uncontrollably broke free from Xiao Ning's body, rushing into Xiao Yan's body.

"This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" Xiao Ning shook his head vigorously, unable to believe what he was seeing.

He had cultivated the Flame Mantra, a technique specifically designed to subdue Heavenly Flames Flame Mantra, yet it disobeyed his commands and entered Xiao Yan's body.

As soon as the Heavenly Flames within his body disappeared, Xiao Ning lost half of his fighting power. His face was frighteningly pale, and his strength, which had just surged to the level of Dou Emperor, had shrunk considerably. Without saying a word, he immediately unleashed a Dou Technique haphazardly at Xiao Yan, and then fled through the door.

Where to run?

Xiao Yan relentlessly pursued, intending to strike Xiao Ning on the back, but Xiao Ning rolled away on the ground, grabbing the returning Xiao Yu tightly and yelling at Xiao Yan, "Don't come any closer, or I'll kill him!"

"What are you doing, little brother?" Xiao Yu didn't understand what Xiao Ning was up to.

"Xiao Ning, you're ridiculous. She's your sister, not mine. How dare you use your sister to threaten me?" Xiao Yan sneered.

"But she likes you!" Xiao Ning, disheveled and covered in mud, didn't care about anything else and shouted at Xiao Yan, "Xiao Yan, I know you have some feelings for her too. In the entire Xiao Clan, she has never hurt you. Moreover, when you were pretending to be crazy, she even came back to take care of you for a while. I don't think you want her to die, do you?"

Xiao Yan?

Upon hearing Xiao Ning's words, Xiao Yu realized that the man in black robes before her was actually Xiao Yan. But what were Xiao Yan and Xiao Ning doing?

Xiao Yan hesitated in place, not daring to attack, for fear of hurting Xiao Yu.

"Ah!" At this moment, Qing Lin, who was behind Xiao Ning, suddenly took out a dagger from her sleeve and struck Xiao Ning hard in the back.

Xiao Ning, in pain in his back, hurriedly released Xiao Yu, trying to take the dagger, but he had also lost the hostage who could threaten Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan swiftly kicked Xiao Ning in the stomach, knocking him to the ground, and then stomped on Xiao Ning's head.

"Xiao Yan, let go of my brother!" Xiao Yu, still unaware of what had happened, hurriedly shouted to stop him.

"Xiao Yan, let go of Xiao Ning!" At the same time Xiao Yi Xian and Gu Xun Er also suddenly returned, glaring angrily at Xiao Yan.

"Ancient Clan Guards, come out!" Gu Xun Er clapped her two delicate hands in the air, and instantly five Dou Zun expert appeared in the sky.

Now Xiao Yan has become a criminal who has taken hostages, but he is not alone. Qing Lin stands silently by Xiao Yan's side.

"Qing Lin, why?" Xiao Yi Xian and Gu Xun Er couldn't understand why Qing Lin would betray them.

Qing Lin's tongue had been cut out, leaving him speechless. But then Xiao Yan lifted Xiao Ning, who was lying on the ground, and made him kneel, saying, "You speak."

Xiao Ning trembled, repeatedly slapping his own hands as he cried out, "I'm despicable, shameless, vile, I'm not human, I'm a beast! I shouldn't have killed Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, and I shouldn't have forced Xiao Zhan to his death! The reason Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin liked me was because I had planned this all along!"

Boom!

The whole truth was told in its entirety, causing an uproar in everyone's minds.

Tears welled up in Xiao Yi Xian's beautiful eyes. Her inner world collapsed at this moment. It turned out that all these years, Xiao Ning had been acting in front of her and had never truly liked her. Instead, he had his eye on the future potential of her Woeful Poison Body.

Xiao Yi Xian couldn't accept the truth Xiao Ning revealed, so she turned and left Jia Nan Academy. Under the quiet night sky, her figure looked so lonely.

Xiao Yu was also heartbroken, and with tears streaming down her face, she cursed Xiao Ning as a bastard for forcing the Clan Leader to his death and killing Xiao Ding and Xiao Li.

"Did you all hear that?" Xiao Yan ripped off Xiao Ning's arm, causing Xiao Ning to let out a miserable howl in pain. From the severed arm, Xiao Yan took off Yao Chen's ancient ring and put it back on his own hand.

He scanned the ring and discovered that the souls of his father and two elder brothers were sealed in three jade bottles.

"Since you've confessed, then die!" Xiao Yan slapped Xiao Ning on the forehead.

"Stop!" Gu Xun Er shouted, trying to stop them.

Regardless of whether Xiao Ning was using her or trying to leverage the power of the Ancient Clan, she only knew that Xiao Ning was the only one she could not live without, and no one could hurt him.

Just when life and death hung in the balance, Xiao Ning, kneeling on the ground, smiled again, "Little guy, you're finally awake."

Hiss hiss hiss

A Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python suddenly flew out of Xiao Ning's arms. The python grew rapidly, its blood-red maw opening wide as it lunged at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was also startled. Without thinking, he hurriedly took out an Energy Bar with spatial teleportation capabilities and stuffed it into the python's mouth.

As soon as the python closed its mouth, the Energy Bar shattered instantly, creating a spatial rift. The twisting vortex instantly teleported the python away.

Xiao Ning was dumbfounded again; this time, all his trump cards were gone.

"Die!" Fearing that Xiao Yan Xiao Ning might pull some other tricks, Xiao Yan smashed Xiao Ning's skull with a single palm strike. Then, he used the Green Lotus Core Flame to pour into Xiao Ning's shattered skull, burning his body and soul to ashes.

With a "pfft," Qing Lin was overjoyed at having avenged his great grudge, but the next moment, a great sense of depression arose in his heart, and he finally coughed up blood and fainted on the ground.

"Qing Lin, Qing Lin?" Xiao Yan picked up Qing Lin and called her name repeatedly, but Qing Lin's breath grew weaker and weaker.

Gu Xun Er Xiao Ning there dumbfounded, watching Xiao Ning disappear from the world. Tears streamed down her face, and she finally transformed all her sorrow into boundless anger and hatred.

"Ancient Clan guards, kill Xiao Yan and this wretch!"

In an instant, the five Dou Zun from the Ancient Clan attacked simultaneously.

Xiao Yan's pupils contracted sharply, and he hurriedly crushed a high-speed flying Energy Bar. It was as if he had installed thrusters on his back, and his flight speed reached supersonic speed. In the blink of an eye, he escaped Jia Nan Academy.

"So fast!"

The five Ancient Clan Dou Zun were secretly startled and hurriedly tore through space to give chase. The group chased after the mysterious island in the Black Corner Region.

Ultimately, Xiao Yan, having exhausted all his energy, fell from the sky and landed on the mysterious island.

In his dazed and confused state, he seemed to see three people surrounding him, scrutinizing him closely: a beautiful woman wearing a magician's hat, a little girl with fiery red twin ponytails, and a woman with adorable fox ears.

"This man is badly injured, and the girl next to him is dead. Angela, please use your dark magic to save them!" the woman with fox ears and a tail suddenly said.

"No way, I'm busy making barbecue!" The little girl, holding a heavy magic book, pouted and said, "Let the soldiers take them both to the spring. As long as their souls don't perish, they can not only be resurrected, but their damaged bodies can also be repaired."

The three women sent a squad of soldiers to escort Xiao Yan and Qing Lin to the spring. They then sat together on the ground, eating barbecue, drinking iced beverages, watching the wild fox dance in place, and laughing heartily.

However, the gathering was only halfway through when five Dou Zun expert suddenly descended from the sky, ending the joyous occasion.

An Ancient Clan Dou Zun expert pointed at the three people in front of him and said, "Have you seen a man and a woman here? Speak up now, or I'll kill you."

The three women looked at each other in surprise. This was the first time they had ever seen anyone dare to openly threaten them, the Grassland Sisters.
