Xiao Yan Stepped Up

"In the second battle, I will be the one to take the field for the Soul Hall..."

Hun Qianmo's hawk-like gaze swept over the members of the Heavenly Mansion Alliance one by one before he spoke in a hoarse voice.

Hun Qianmo, a powerful figure in the Early Six-Star Dou Sheng of the Hun Clan.

He was actually an old man from a thousand years ago.

However, compared to the four elders and Four Demon Saints of the Four Elders of the Soul Clan, Hun Qianmo undoubtedly seemed somewhat inferior.

At the same time, Hun Qianmo also has a dark past.

It is said that a thousand years ago, Hun Qianmo once fought against Xiao Xuan!

However, Xiao Xuan was clearly one of the five strongest experts on the Dou Qi Continent a thousand years ago. How can Hun Qianmo's ability to fight him be considered a dark history?

It's like if you fought with Tyson, whether you won or lost, no one would laugh at you, let alone think it's a dark history for you!

However, what happened to Hun Qianmo was a little different.

Because after he was defeated by Xiao Xuan, he knelt down and begged for mercy...

You're saying that, given the power dynamics between the Hun Clan and the Xiao Clan, it's like being defeated by an enemy and then having to kneel and beg for mercy. Can't that be considered a dark chapter in their history?

I wonder if it was after that that Xiao Xuan shattered Hun Qianmo's spirit?

Despite the resources possessed by the Hun Clan, even after a thousand years, Hun Qianmo is still only at the Early Six-Star Dou Sheng!

This is absolutely awful!

At the same time, the fact that he had knelt down and begged Xiao Xuan for mercy a thousand years ago to escape with his life became his deepest taboo.

Over the years, Hun Qianmo has rarely appeared outside of the Hun Clan.

I wonder if he was afraid of running into someone he knew and having them bring it up?

However, no matter how much you belittle Hun Qianmo, his strength as Early Six-Star Dou Sheng is still undeniable.

Currently, only two people in the Heavenly Mansion Alliance are qualified to face him.

One of them, at best, can only manage a draw!

This person is the patriarch of the Danta.

In the Original Work, the Pill Tower Ancestor fought to a draw with Hun Qianmo.

As for the other person who was absolutely certain of defeating Hun Qianmo, it was naturally Xiao Yan.

Although Xiao Yan was only at the early stage of a six- Peak Six-Star Dou Sheng Early Six-Star Dou Sheng, he controlled the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, which was at the peak of a six-star Dou Sheng. With the two combined, he could even fight against an Early Seven-Star Dou Saint, let alone Hun Qianmo, who was at the Early Six-Star Dou Sheng.

If the two really start fighting, Xiao Yan, going all out, will be lucky if he doesn't beat Hun Qianmo to a pulp!

"Hun Qianmo... that old codger, we'll leave him to..."

"Etc!"

Just as Hun Qianmo stepped forward from the Soul Hall, the Pill Tower Ancestor from the Heavenly Mansion Alliance was originally preparing to fight as in the original Original Work.

Although the Pill Tower Ancestor doesn't usually get involved in affairs, he knows that the Danta is now closely linked to the Heavenly Mansion Alliance, and the two are in a relationship where they share both prosperity and adversity.

Therefore, under these circumstances, he believed that it was most appropriate for him to step in.

However, before the Pill Tower Ancestor could finish speaking, Xiao Yan interrupted him.

"Um?"

Upon seeing this, the childlike-looking Pill Tower Ancestor looked up at Xiao Yan with a puzzled expression.

Clearly, the Pill Tower Ancestor didn't understand why Xiao Yan wanted to stop him.

"Senior, can you defeat that Hun Qianmo?"

Xiao Yan tentatively asked.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's question, the Pill Tower Ancestor understood his meaning; he was afraid Xiao Yan would lose!

However, the Pill Tower Ancestor was a carefree person and didn't care about this at all.

"I wouldn't dare say I can beat Hun Qianmo, but at the very least, I can guarantee I won't lose!"

The Pill Tower Ancestor spoke with absolute certainty!

"Undefeated, huh..."

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but murmur aloud.

"What? You have other ideas?"

Seeing Xiao Yan hesitate, the Pill Tower Ancestor raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Ah, senior, I have some other ideas. Now that we've tied the first match with the Soul Hall, the next two matches are crucial. The best option is to win both!"

Xiao Yan said, his eyes gleaming.

"However, the last person to appear in the Soul Hall's lineup will definitely be the new Hall Master named Hun Luo. None of us are his match! It can be said that the Soul Hall has already won a match by default. Now that we've drawn another match, the best outcome is one win, one loss, and one draw..."

Hmm? I see. You considered that too, which is why you were so determined to win this battle, right?

Therefore, if I were to deal with Hun Qianmo, the outcome would be evenly matched, which is indeed not very suitable.

Xiao Yan, you want to take this battle yourself, win it, and then hand the final battle over to someone else, is that right?"

Without a God's-eye view and without knowing the inside story, Pill Tower Ancestor could only guess like this.

Although Xiao Yan is currently at the same cultivation level as him, the Pill Tower Ancestor knows that the other party's strength has already surpassed his own.

If Xiao Yan were to personally deal with Hun Qianmo, the outcome of this second battle would indeed be a sure thing in the eyes of the Pill Tower Ancestor.

However, with both sides having one win, one loss, and one draw, the outcome will be a tie. How will the Heavenly Mansion Alliance and the Soul Hall determine the winner?

The Pill Tower Ancestor had doubts in his heart, but he did not say them outright.

"That's right, senior. Let me handle this second battle. I'm absolutely confident I can defeat Hun Qianmo. As for the final third battle, you'll see then..."

Xiao Yan nodded at first, but then he gave the Pill Tower Ancestor a cryptic answer.

Of course, the truth is, Xiao Yan didn't know what would happen then...

What can he do now?

We can only trust the arrangements made by Supreme Elder Lin and our own grandfather.

"Hmm~, really? You can't possibly bring in a powerful expert to deal with that Hun Luo?"

The Pill Tower Ancestor sounded somewhat surprised.

But after racking his brains, he still couldn't think of anyone Xiao Yan could possibly recruit to deal with Hun Luo.

"Well, I'm not sure yet. For now, we can only take it one step at a time... But before that, we must win this second battle so that our Heavenly Mansion Alliance can remain invincible!"

Xiao Yan spoke again solemnly.

"What you said... seems to make some sense. In that case, I'll leave Hun Qianmo to you. If all else fails, I'll just have to hold off that guy named Hun Luo for a while!"

It's clear that Pill Tower Ancestor is a very caring elder who knows how to look after his juniors.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that he would go up and hold off Hun Luo for a while when the situation was unclear.

He's clearly planning to take all the dirty and hard work upon himself!

"Thank you so much, senior! I promise I will win this second battle!"

At this moment, Xiao Yan was practically ready to swear an oath to the heavens.

"Swish"

Right after Xiao Yan and the Pill Tower Ancestor finished their conversation, Xiao Yan took a step forward and arrived not far in front of Hun Qianmo.
