I've Become a Senior...

The Demon Fire Plains were formed two years ago.

Of course, just two years ago, this place was still a mountainous area.

The reason it turned into a plain was because of a trace of power leaked out by the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.

On this plain, there are massive cracks thousands of feet long that spread out like giant centipedes, and bursts of scorching heat rise from them, making this land and sky exceptionally dry.

This is the residual warmth from the power of the original Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.

Even so, it is not something that Ordinary cultivators can contend with.

A place ravaged by the power of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame would normally be desolate, and given its sweltering environment, few people would likely come here.

However, this is not the case!

After the Demonic Flame Space closed, when a group of adventuring mercenaries discovered a strange crystal filled with violent fire-attribute energy in the plains, the plains immediately became extremely lively.

This crystal, brimming with violent fire-elemental energy, is known as the Demonic Flame Stone.

Because within these crystals, there seemed to be a faint trace of demonic fire remaining. Although this trace of demonic fire had been reduced by thousands of times, it was an absolute treasure for some cultivators who practiced Fire Attribute Dou Qi and Alchemists!

As long as one can absorb the energy from these Demonic Flame Stones, not only will their Dou Qi become stronger, but even the flames summoned by Alchemists will be much more powerful than before.

Therefore, the once desolate plains have attracted numerous forces over the past two years to carve out their territories and divide up the resources of the Demonic Flame Stones...

This includes various forces such as the Soul Hall, the Heavenly Mansion Alliance, and the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace.

There are benefits involved, so naturally none of the parties involved want to miss out.

Who would turn down such a precious resource? Don't you think so?

For this reason, the Soul Hall even specially set up a branch palace in the Demon Fire Plains.

Although this branch hall does not belong to the Heavenly Gang and Earth Fiend Halls, it is guarded by Dou Sheng Expert!

The purpose of the Soul Hall in establishing such a branch hall in the Demon Fire Plains is actually quite simple. Firstly, it is to compete for the Demonic Flame Stones here, and secondly, it is also to monitor the situation of the Demonic Flame Space in real time.

However, now that Xiao Yan has refined the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, there's no need for him to come out through the original exit!

Therefore, the Soul Hall's surveillance of the entrance to the Demonic Flame Space Passage was undoubtedly in vain.

Of course, in this situation, the other forces also end up monitoring for nothing.

No one knew that, at some point, Xiao Yan and Xun'er had already left the Demonic Flame Space...

Moreover, after leaving the Demonic Flame Space, Xiao Yan and Xun'er happened to encounter a group of the Heavenly Mansion Alliance members being chased by the Soul Hall Members.

After easily dealing with the Soul Hall Members, Xiao Yan, guided by a few newcomers to the Heavenly Mansion Alliance who didn't recognize him, arrived at the Soul Hall's branch in the Demon Fire Plains...

"Senior, just a hundred miles ahead lies the branch of the Soul Hall located in the Demon Fire Plains..."

"This was said by a young man from the outer Heavenly Mansion Alliance who was rescued by Xiao Yan."

"I understand. You can go back now."

Seeing this, Xiao Yan nodded.

Afterwards, Xiao Yan and Xun'er prepared to set off to destroy the branch hall that the Soul Hall had set up here!

"Okay, but, seniors, please be careful!"

"Yes, senior, there are only two of you after all."

"Senior, isn't this a bit too risky? Why don't you go and discuss it with the Leadership- ups of my Heavenly Mansion Alliance first?"

"By the way, I haven't yet had the pleasure of asking your esteemed name, senior!"

Just before Xiao Lin and Xun'er were about to set off, the group of members from the outer alliance of the Heavenly Mansion Alliance started talking all at once.

They either expressed concern for Xiao Yan and Xun'er, or were curious about their identities.

Hearing the group ask, Xiao Yan paused for a moment, then turned around and said with a smile, "My name is Xiao Yan. You can all go back without worry. The two of us are enough!"

"Whoosh"

As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, he and Xun'er had disappeared from everyone's sight.

Before he knew it, Xiao Yan had reached the point where he was being addressed as a "senior"...

"Xiao Yan? Why does that name sound so familiar?"

"Yes, I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before."

"Wait a minute, isn't our Heavenly Mansion Alliance's young leader supposed to be called...?"

"Xiao Yan! It's the Young Alliance Leader! The Young Alliance Leader has returned! Quickly, go back and report to the Elders!"

"Ah, Young Alliance Leader Xiao Yan is really back? That's wonderful!"

Upon remembering Xiao Yan's identity, the group of people all showed expressions of excitement.

You know, the young leader is their idol!

Unexpectedly, one day they actually got to see the young leader in person. What a stroke of luck!

If word got out, wouldn't they be the envy of everyone?

And so, the Heavenly Mansion Alliance's external team immediately set off in a great hurry to return.

They must send back the news of the young leader's return as soon as possible!

After all, the mission of a small team like theirs, which is to search for Demonic Flame Stones while also looking for the whereabouts of their young leader, is to search for them.

Now, their most important task is complete!

"Hehe, Brother Xiao Yan, we're already being called 'seniors' by everyone else!"

Meanwhile, two people who had already set off to destroy the Soul Hall's branch in the Demon Fire Plains were playfully bickering.

There's absolutely no way of knowing what they're going to do.

Because the two of them looked so relaxed!

Who would have thought that they were going to destroy a branch of the Soul Hall with a Dou Sheng Battle Saint) in charge?

"You silly girl... But time really flies! I can't believe two years have passed in the blink of an eye. I feel like I've become a legendary elder in Central Plains now..."

As he flew towards the sky, a hint of melancholy appeared on Xiao Yan's face.

Two years ago, he felt that he was still one of the same generation as everyone else.

But two years later, people were calling him "senior" when they met him!

How should I put it? It's a very subtle feeling.

But what is the reality?

He's only in his early thirties!

People like Gu Qingyang, Hun Feng, Huo Xuan, and Yao Tian are all older than him!

However, they are still regarded as the younger generation by everyone, but Xiao Yan is no longer.

It can only be said that Xiao Yan's growth in this life is smoother and faster compared to the Original Work!

"So, Brother Xiao Yan, how does it feel to be a senior?"

Xun'er continued to press on with a hint of teasing.

"What do you mean, 'so what'? Now that I've become a senior, you'll be my wife, won't you?"

Xiao Yan immediately retaliated after Xun'er teased him.

Xun'er's cheeks immediately flushed red.

"Pah, you're making me sound old..."

Clearly, Xun'er didn't like this nickname.

And so, the two of them, laughing and joking, went to destroy the branch of the Soul Hall that it had set up in the Demon Fire Plains.
