Reunited with Yun Yun, His Identity Revealed

All the elders' eyes were focused on Yun Yun.

The ancestor left behind a legacy after his passing.

Yun Yun, a newcomer who was only at the Dou Emperor at the time, had only been in the Music Valley for a short time, yet she was perfectly suited to the inheritance and directly received the entire legacy of the ancestor.

After that, Yun Yun's cultivation level broke through one after another, and now she has the cultivation level of Nine-Star Dou Zun. If she cultivates hard for another ten years or so, breaking through to Semi-Saint in the future will not be a problem. Even Dou Sheng will only require more time.

Therefore, Yun Yun's status within the Music Valley is extremely special.

Although she doesn't hold any real power and has little authority under the title of elder, no one in the Music Valley fails to give her some respect.

They knew about the Heavenly Flames that Yun Yun had found from outside, but they never expected that Yin Yuan would set her sights on it.

They don't believe there's no personal grudge involved.

However... what Yin Yuan said does make some sense.

Exchanging Yun Yun's Heavenly Flames for a High Eighth-Tier Alchemist to refine a high-grade pill for life extension and healing for free is a very wise choice at this stage.

Those targeted by the Soul Hall need at least one Semi-Saint to oversee things.

Yun Yun needs at least another ten years to mature, and during this time, the Valley Master absolutely cannot die!

All the elders' eyes were focused on Yun Yun.

Yun Yun's expression changed slightly.

Despite the pressure, she remained steadfast. "Elder, and the other elders, this Heavenly Flames was found for a very important person, and I do not wish to exchange it for elixirs."

"The Valley Master is not in good condition right now, but he can at least hold on for another year. Within this year, I will try to find a High-Grade Tier 8 Medicinal Pill that can prolong life and restore his condition."

Hearing Yun Yun's promise, most of the other elders turned their gaze away.

Unless absolutely necessary, they are reluctant to offend Yun Yun.

But clearly, not everyone thinks that way.

Elder Yin Yuan immediately retorted, "Elder Yun, although the Valley Master can still hold on for another year, his condition will deteriorate as time goes on. What will you do if the Soul Hall takes advantage of his vulnerability?"

"Moreover, the Valley Master can hold out for a year, but that doesn't mean you can have a year."

"If you really can't find the pills by then, you'll have to exchange them for Heavenly Flames, which will take time. You must allow enough room for error."

"Therefore, Elder Yun, considering that you received the ancestor's inheritance from the valley, please make some contribution to the Music Valley."

Yun Yun's expression was unpleasant.

The other elders also looked puzzled.

They didn't quite understand why Yin Yuan was pressuring Yun Yun like this.

Ignoring the gazes of the elders, Yin Yuan thought to herself, "That Alchemist has already traded an Tier 8 Medicinal Pill for me, insisting that I make Yun Yun trade away the Heavenly Flames no matter what."

"This Yun Yun is so stubborn, it's disgusting."

The atmosphere at the conference table gradually became deathly silent and oppressive.

Just then, a knock sounded on the conference room door.

Accompanying this was the voice of a disciple of the Music Valley: "Valley Master and all elders, a person wearing Flame Mask has arrived from outside the small world. He says he needs to see Elder Yun Yun urgently."

The elders' gazes once again focused on Yun Yun.

They remembered that Yun Yun used the alias Yun Zhi when she went out. This person was looking for Yun Yun, so wasn't he an acquaintance?

Bang!

Yun Yun suddenly stood up, causing the chair to tip backward with her movement, her whole demeanor showing unprecedented urgency.

Others might not know, but the moment she heard the description, a name was already in her mind.

In her mind, the Flame Mask was something only Xiao Yan had ever worn.

She didn't know how Xiao Yan found her, and she didn't care to think about it; all she wanted to do now was see Xiao Yan.

As Yun Yun departed, the Music Valley Master, seated in the main seat, opened his eyes, a hint of displeasure flashing within them.

She said, "Since Elder Yun has left without permission, let's all go and see who could have made Elder Yun so disrespectful."

As soon as the Music Valley Master spoke, the elders stood up and followed.

Beyond the Small World

Xiao Yan waited quietly. The familiar pattern, but no longer the original Flame Mask, was now on his face.

For no other reason than to exchange some playful 'secret codes' with Yun Yun.

Upon arriving at the Music Valley's territory, he immediately sensed the existence of the small world thanks to his Heaven-Swallowing Talent for [Space Control], and then sent someone to deliver a message inside.

After waiting for a short while, a spatial fluctuation was felt.

Ripples spread through the invisible space as Yun Yun's figure emerged from the small world.

Seeing the tall figure waiting outside the small world, and that familiar Flame Mask, Yun Yun froze on the spot.

Xiao Yan also saw Yun Yun at the same moment.

As before, Yun Yun seemed unchanged; her temperament remained elegant and dignified, and her appearance was still gentle and charming.

Xiao Yan stepped forward and said softly, "What, don't you recognize me? Yun... Zhi."

Yun Yun snapped out of her daze, her heart pounding faster than she had noticed.

She looked at Xiao Yan, wanting to say so much, but all she could manage to utter was, "Long time no see... Yan Xiao."

The unspoken terms of address brought smiles to their faces simultaneously, a subtle hint of affection.

"Elder Yun, who is this gentleman?"

Music Valley Master and the elders followed, and Yin Yuan looked Xiao Yan up and down and asked.

Seeing Xiao Yan Xiao Yan a mask, Yun Yun guessed that he might not be able to reveal his identity, so she said, "Yan Xiao, my... friend."

"What does he want with you?" Yin Yuan asked.

Before Xiao Yan could speak, Yun Yun turned to Xiao Yan and asked, "What is it?"

When facing others, Xiao Yan would still exchange a few polite words in a roundabout way, but when facing someone as close as Yun Yun, he directly stated his purpose.

"I heard you found a Heavenly Flames? I want it."

Xiao Yan's directness surprised everyone; it sounded strange, as if it were perfectly reasonable.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun showed no displeasure whatsoever. Instead, she revealed a gentle smile they had never seen before, "Yes, I'll fetch it for you in a moment."

Yun Yun's words caused the elders' expressions to change, realizing that the friend Yun Yun wanted to give the Heavenly Flames to was Yan Xiao in front of them.

"No!" Yin Yuan suddenly shouted.

Xiao Yan looked at her but didn't speak. He then turned to Yun Yun and asked, "What's wrong with her?"

Yun Yun briefly explained the situation, "The Valley Master only has one year left to live and needs to use High-Grade Tier 8 Medicinal Pill to prolong her life."

"Therefore, the First Elder wants to use the Heavenly Flames I found for you to ask a High Eighth-Tier Alchemist to refine a pill."

Hearing Yun Yun's words, Xiao Yan chuckled and said, "In that case, I'll refine this Tier 8 Medicinal Pill myself."

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, all the elders showed expressions of disbelief.

Only the High Seventh Grade Music Valley alchemy elder, after the initial skepticism, suddenly remembered something.

"You!" The alchemy elder suddenly became agitated.

Everyone looked over.

The alchemy elder managed to stammer out the rest of his sentence: "You're the leader of the Tian Shu Alliance in the Northwest Continent?!"
