A trace of indifference showed in Yao Lao's eyes.
"Han Feng..."
"Over these years, have you ever felt regret...?"
Scenes of his first meeting with Han Feng flashed through Yao Lao's mind once more. "You were still young..."
"I could not bear to see you perish on that snowy night, so I saved you and kept you by my side."
"For more than ten years, I taught you to wield a sword for protection, to refine pills and cultivate. I withheld nothing from you and had a clear conscience!"
"Yet I never expected you to become the blade that stabbed me in the end..."
"Today, the bond between master and disciple ends here..."
"The grudges between us are settled..."
Then Yao Lao's soul body trembled slightly before turning into a streak of light and returning to the Storage Ring...
Seeing this, Xiao Yan raised a hand and called out, "Teacher..."
But Yao Xuan interrupted him. "Xiao Yan..."
"I think Uncle Chen would rather be alone right now..."
Xiao Yan nodded after hearing that.
Yet the next moment, Yao Lao's voice rang out faintly again. "Yao Xuan..."
"That Sea Heart Flame is currently in its source-flame state, and this place is just right..."
"Go ahead and refine and absorb it here..."
Yao Xuan gazed at the Sea Heart Flame source floating above his fingertips, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"Uncle Chen, I understand..."
Without further hesitation, Yao Xuan rose into the air and sat cross-legged.
His eyes slowly closed, his mind instantly settling as the vast Dou Qi of a Three-Star Battle Emperor Realm burst from his body...
"Xiao Yi Xian, I'll have to trouble you next..."
Xiao Yi Xian nodded firmly. "Yao Xuan, don't worry..."
"With me here, you can absorb this Heavenly Flame without concern..."
The next instant.
Yao Xuan
