Yan Luotian, Heading to the Jia Ma Empire [Please Follow]

After subduing the Yellow Mysterious Flame, Yao Xuan slowly rose to his feet and surveyed the space around him.

Though this was a stone cavern, it looked somewhat like a burial chamber to Yao Xuan.

Yao Xuan then got up and continued behind the stone platform. Sure enough, he found a hidden chamber there.

Yao Xuan circulated the battle qi within his body and gave it a light push, easily breaking open the hidden chamber's door.

Inside the hidden chamber stood a massive stone coffin.

Yao Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly. "So it really is a burial chamber..."

"Then the owner of this stone coffin must have been the Yellow Mysterious Flame's previous owner..."

Yao Xuan knew that most opportunities on the Battle Qi Continent were found within burial chambers.

Naturally, there was no way he would pass up the stone coffin before him.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yao Xuan stepped forward and opened it.

A corpse lay quietly within the stone coffin, but due to the passage of far too much time, only white bones remained.

Yet atop those bones sat a stone box that was especially conspicuous.

"As expected, how could a burial chamber not contain something good..."

The corners of Yao Xuan's lips curled up slightly. He picked up the stone box and opened it with ease.

Inside were merely several dozen scrolls.

Yao Xuan slowly unrolled the scrolls and saw that they were not any top-tier cultivation methods or battle skills.

They were simply ten pill formulas, which showed that the owner of this burial chamber had also been an alchemist in life.

Moreover, he had not been a particularly high-ranked alchemist, because the highest-grade formula in the stone box was only for a sixth-tier high-grade Sect-Breaking Pill!

As well as a fifth-tier high-grade Purple Recovery Pill...

The rest were even ordinary third-tier and fourth-tier pill formulas.

"Sect-Breaking Pill, Purple Recovery Pill..."

Yao Xuan examined the pill formulas in his hands. Though their grades were not high, he did not disdain them.

After all, these two pills could be considered top-tier medicinal pills in the Northwest Continent. Besides, as an alchemist, why would Yao Xuan ever think he had too many pill formulas...

Yao Xuan then stored the pill formulas in his storage ring and prepared to leave...

Yet the next moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the stone cavern:

"May I ask which friend has come to the territory of my Golden Geese Sect..."

"Would you be willing to come out and meet me..."

The voice from outside the cavern was deep and powerful, carrying threads of chilling battle qi pressure.

It echoed through the skies above the entire Yellow Mysterious Peak...

Yao Xuan raised his brows slightly and instantly restrained the aura from having just refined the Yellow Mysterious Flame, concealing every trace of disturbance.

Yao Xuan knew that this was Golden Geese Sect territory. The disturbance caused by his forcefully breaking the restriction, entering the cavern, and seizing the Heavenly Flame must have alerted the sect's higher-ups...

Yao Xuan then turned and walked out of the stone cavern.

The moment he stepped outside, blinding sunlight poured down. High in the sky stood a black-clad figure suspended in midair.

The man stood tall and upright, his features cold and stern. Battle qi churned around him, and an immense pressure far beyond that of a Dou Wang crashed down.

Seven-Star Dou Emperor!

Yao Xuan instantly understood. The newcomer was the strongest expert of the Falling Wild Goose Empire, the Golden Geese Sect's sect master—Yan Luotian.

Yan Luotian looked down from above, his cold gaze sweeping over Yao Xuan, with obvious scrutiny hidden in his eyes.

This Yellow Mysterious Stone Abyss was the Golden Geese Sect's forbidden ground. Due to the Yellow Mysterious Flame, it was also Yan Luotian's long-term cultivation site.

Ordinary disciples were strictly forbidden from approaching. Since Yao Xuan had trespassed without permission, Yan Luotian was naturally displeased.

"Your Excellency is quite bold."

Yan Luotian's voice was indifferent. Though he sounded polite, it was filled with coldness, and his pressure continued to bear down.

"This is a sealed and forbidden place of my Golden Geese Sect. No one has ever dared to enter without permission. May I ask who Your Excellency is, and why you privately broke my sect's restriction and intruded into Golden Geese Sect territory?"

Yao Xuan remained calm as he casually offered an excuse.

"I was merely passing through this area and accidentally wandered deep into the mountains. I did not intentionally trespass into your sect's forbidden ground. I hope Your Excellency can forgive me..."

How could Yan Luotian possibly believe such a feeble excuse?

Yan Luotian had led the Golden Geese Sect for decades, and he had personally set the restrictions of Yellow Mysterious Stone Abyss.

The young man before him appeared quite young, yet he had been able to tear apart a restriction Yan Luotian himself had laid down. He was certainly not some ordinary passerby.

"Accidentally wandered in?"

A cold curve formed at Yan Luotian's lips. His gaze suddenly darkened, and the battle qi around him surged violently...

"My Golden Geese Sect is the foremost sect of the Falling Wild Goose Empire. Do you think a mere claim of accidentally wandering in can explain this away? Boy, stop trying to quibble!"

"Entering the sect's forbidden ground without permission, breaking my restriction, and disturbing my earth veins—you have already violated the rules of my Golden Geese Sect. Today, you must give me an explanation. Otherwise, do not dream of taking even half a step off Yellow Mysterious Peak!"

Yan Luotian's chilling killing intent quietly locked onto Yao Xuan.

The terrifying aura of a Seven-Star Dou Emperor crushed toward him...

Yao Xuan knew that Yan Luotian was a genuine Seven-Star Dou Emperor.

Meanwhile, he was only a Four-Star Dou King. The gulf between their realms was immense, and he had no chance of winning in a frontal clash.

Thus, Yao Xuan had already made up his mind. There was no point in tangling with Yan Luotian; escaping was the best course of action.

Yellow Mysterious Mountain was already at the border between the Falling Wild Goose Empire and the Jia Ma Empire. Escaping from here and heading to the Jia Ma Empire would be convenient enough.

"Since Your Excellency does not believe me, then I have nothing more to say."

Yao Xuan's expression remained calm. He pretended not to wish to argue while secretly circulating the battle qi within his body...

Seeing Yao Xuan's casual attitude and complete lack of remorse, Yan Luotian flew into a rage.

"You don't know what's good for you!"

With a cold shout, Yan Luotian grabbed through the air. A massive, razor-sharp battle qi claw instantly formed, carrying the sound of tearing wind.

Bearing the absolute pressure of a Battle Emperor Realm expert, it ruthlessly suppressed Yao Xuan.

Just as the battle qi claw was about to descend, Yao Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he hesitated no longer.

Azure battle qi erupted around him. His Battle Qi Wing Transformation unfurled in an instant, and using the recoil from the opponent's attack, he transformed into an extreme streak of light and shot away.

Yao Xuan had long determined the direction of the Jia Ma Empire. The instant he broke free, he turned and sped westward without looking back...

"Trying to run?!"

Yan Luotian's face darkened. He believed that a mere Dou Wang could never escape beneath his very eyes...

In an instant, his figure flashed as he pursued Yao Xuan...

Yet Yao Xuan's movement technique was extraordinarily swift, and he did not pause in the slightest. Even though Yan Luotian was a Battle Emperor Realm expert, he failed to catch up to Yao Xuan in the short term...

Before long, Yao Xuan had already entered the territory of the Jia Ma Empire...

Seeing this, Yan Luotian could only halt, his eyes filled with fury.

After all, Yan Luotian understood that the Jia Ma Empire lay ahead. If he rashly gave chase, he might draw the attention of the Jia Ma Empire's experts. He could only let out a cold roar:

"Jia Ma Empire..."

"If I catch you next time, I will make you wish you were dead!"

After entering Jia Ma Empire territory, Yao Xuan did not slow down. Instead, he sped toward Wu Tan City...

After all, Yao Xuan still did not know whether Yao Chen had awakened, or whether he had already passed the Flame Mantra on to Xiao Yan...
