Purging the Fire Poison

Feng Qing'er's beautiful face flushed red and then pale with anger at Xiao Yu. "Fine, I, Feng Qing'er, admit defeat today. However, I still have to advise you: in Central Plains, even Dou Zun isn't the strongest. You will definitely pay the price for what happened today!"

Immediately, Feng Qing'er turned and flew away. The other rogue cultivators and members of other sects, seeing that Feng Qing'er had left, could only leave helplessly as well.

The disciples from the other three pavilions exchanged glances and prepared to leave. At that moment, Xiao Yu announced loudly, "Tang Ying of the Myriad Sword Pavilion Mu Qingluan of the Starfall Pavilion may stay!"

Tang Ying and Mu Qingluan, who were about to leave, stopped in their tracks upon hearing Xiao Yu's words. They looked at Xiao Yu Xiao Yu disbelief, never expecting that he would ask them to stay.

Meanwhile, Wang Chen of the Yellow Springs Pavilion looked extremely grim. He didn't understand what rules this Dou Zun senior used to select those who would remain, so he mustered his courage and said, "Senior, I am Wang Chen of the Yellow Springs Pavilion. I wonder if you could give me the last spot? The Yellow Springs Pavilion would be eternally grateful!"

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "I don't like your Yellow Springs Pavilion. As for this last spot, I have someone else in mind!"

A hint of resentment flashed in Wang Chen's eyes, but he dared not say anything more. After all, the mood of Dou Zun expert was unpredictable, and if he said anything more, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to leave Tianmu Mountain.

With Wang Chen's departure, only Xiao Yu and his group, along with Tang Ying and Mu Qingluan, remained on the Heavenly Mountain Platform.

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yu and asked, "Fourth brother, we've really offended the Wind Thunder Pavilion this time. After we go down the mountain, why don't we just take over the Wind Thunder Pavilion?"

Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking. The Myriad Sword Pavilion has a pretty good reputation, and I did Yao Lao some face with the Starfall Pavilion. Besides, by keeping the disciples of the Myriad Sword Pavilion and the Starfall Pavilion here this time, we've essentially brought both of them into our camp, so it's not a loss!"

Tang Ying and Mu Qingluan, who were walking over, were about to thank Xiao Yu for keeping them there, but when they got closer, they heard Xiao Yu's words, and their faces darkened. It turned out that Xiao Yu was planning to drag both of their sects into this mess.

Xiao Yu turned around and saw Tang Ying and Mu Qingluan. He chuckled and said, "Don't worry, it's just my decision to have you two stay. The Yellow Springs Pavilion and the Myriad Sword Pavilion have some grudges, right? The Wind Thunder Pavilion has been making a name for itself among the Four Pavilions these past few years, often acting as the head of the four pavilions. I'm fed up with them. If you're worried about anything, just pin all the blame on me!"

"No, no!" Upon hearing this, Tang Ying and Mu Qingluan naturally dared not offend Xiao Yu. Moreover, their Myriad Sword Pavilion was not afraid of the Yellow Springs Pavilion. Although the Starfall Pavilion was not well-known, it was just keeping a low profile. Its strength was no weaker than that of the Wind Thunder Pavilion.

However, Mu Qingluan still reminded Xiao Yu, "Senior, I still think you should be careful. Feng Qing'er has some connection with the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, so..."

Xiao Yu simply waved his hand and said, "She's just a talented young member of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan. If her talent is so great, then wouldn't my talent be heaven-defying?"

Xiao Yan's face darkened slightly as he said, "That's true. Fourth Brother, your cultivation has increased too fast! You're practically a different person from before!"

Mu Qingluan, standing to the side, trembled. Only then did she notice that Xiao Yan was of the same generation as her, and that Xiao Yan called this senior Xiao Yu "fourth brother," which meant that this senior was actually younger than Xiao Yan?

Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "Keep it low-key, it's all luck!" But in his heart, Xiao Yu added, "In the end, it's all about having a cheat code!"

Jin Shi, who was standing nearby, also stepped forward at this moment and looked at Xiao Yu, saying, "Senior, shall we go to the top of Tianmu Mountain now?"

Xiao Yu nodded slightly and said, "Okay!"

Led by Jin Shi, the group headed towards the summit of Tianmu Mountain. Soon, they arrived at the summit, where strange rocks stood in rows. Looking up, they saw powerful energy tides emanating from the sky, their terrifying pressure sending chills down their spines.

The colorful energy tides swept outwards like waves, creating a spectacular sight. Then, the group stopped at a very wide crater. In the center of the crater was a small pool, about several meters in size, in which a red liquid, like magma, flowed slowly.

After Jin Shi introduced the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool to everyone, Xiao Yu gave Yao Yue and Huo Yue'er a wisp of Chaos Flame for protection. The fire poison in it was extremely concentrated. Without the Chaos Flame, the two of them, with their Dou Wang realm, probably wouldn't have been able to last even a day.

There's no need to worry about Little Purple. It's quite strong, and it also has purple flames that can resist fire poison. Actually, it's still one spot short. Just then, a clear hissing sound came over.

Xiao Yu's expression shifted, and he looked in one direction, where he indeed saw a white figure—it was Xiao Bai.

Little Xiao Nian was also excited to see Xiao Bai and waved to it. Soon, Xiao Bai came to the front of everyone. When the others saw Xiao Bai clearly, their expressions tightened slightly, because the aura emanating from this beast was even stronger than that of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King!

"Another Sixth-Tier Demonic Beast!" Jin Shi and Jin Gu exchanged a glance.

Xiao Bai is Seventh-Tier Demonic Beast, but it cannot transform into human form and its aura is not very prominent, so it is often mistaken for Sixth-Tier Demonic Beast.

"Perfect timing, Xiao Bai is here too, so we've got the spot!" Xiao Yu chuckled.

"Boom!"

A loud bang.

Everyone was startled and looked up to see that the colorful energy tide in the sky had suddenly stopped spreading and instead formed a funnel-shaped, colorful vortex, with a terrifyingly powerful energy gathering towards the crater.

The Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool was about to appear. As the five-colored energy condensed, the energy in this area began to fluctuate constantly. The howling wind formed wind Wind Blade on the mountaintop. The powerful Dou Qi of everyone surged out. Xiao Yu casually protected Yao Yue and Huo Yue'er, hoping that this time they could have a qualitative breakthrough!

"Bang!"

A powerful light suddenly appeared, and everyone saw a massive, multicolored energy pillar, tens of meters long, standing tall in the center of the world, its violent aura filling the air with a sense of urgency.

"Now's the time, let's go in!" Jin Shi shouted softly, and the group transformed into streaks of light as they rushed towards the energy pillar.

After everyone had gone inside, Jin Shi led Xiao Yu towards the Gold Devouring Rat Clan, as the fire poison in his body had reached a point where it had to be eliminated.

Among the Gold Devouring Rat Clan, Jin Shi had his clansmen bring out a lot of fruit for Little Xiao Nian to eat, after all, they could see that Little Xiao Nian was extremely important to Xiao Yu.
