The dispatched staff member joins the battle
For Han Feng and Mu Gu, who knew about the Flame Mantra, Xiao Yan's ability to control two Heavenly Flames with his Dou Emperor cultivation level could only be due to the Cultivation Method he practiced.
In fact, the reason why Mu Gu did not show himself immediately after discovering Yao Lao was perhaps because he intended to test Han Feng with Han Xiao Yan.
If Xiao Yan, who has cultivated the Flame Mantra, doesn't perform as well as expected in battle, then Mu Gu might not be so eager for the Flame Mantra in the future.
As for the result of the observation, well, just look at the undisguised greed in his eyes.
"Yao Chen, hand over the Flame Mantra! Then, out of consideration for our past friendship, I might let you die a quick death! Otherwise, not only you, but even your newly accepted disciple will be given a good 'welcome'!"
Mu Gu, who was staring at Yao Lao and Xiao Yan with the eyes of someone eyeing prey, emphasized the word "entertainment" when he spoke.
Clearly, he was implying something!
After all, the Soul Hall has quite a few methods for torturing people.
Mu Gu has been a member of the Soul Hall for many years, so he naturally knows all these things.
"Hmph, you're dreaming!"
With a cold snort, Yao Lao had no intention of agreeing to Mu Gu's request.
It's better to kill him than to force him to compromise with his enemy!
Moreover, just because he and Xiao Yan can't defeat Mu Gu now doesn't mean that others can't!
Don't forget, this is Jia Nan Academy territory!
"What the teacher means is what I mean! Mu Gu, you're seriously underestimating us, master and disciple!"
Although Xiao Yan is still in a weakened state, his momentum has not diminished in the slightest.
"What a pity, Yao Chen, you've wasted the only chance I gave you! You don't actually still think of yourself as the former number one Alchemist on the continent, do you?"
In your current state, what's the difference between you and a rat in a sewer?
Rather than let you linger on in misery, let me see you off!
After shaking his head with regret, Mu Gu stared at Yao Lao with bloodlust.
"Wait, Mu Lao, they have the complete version of the Flame Mantra, you..."
"Shut up, Han Feng. I have my own plans. You just stay here and watch!"
Seeing the murderous intent blazing in Mu Gu's eyes, Han Feng, who was standing beside him, was afraid that the other party would lose his mind, so he quickly spoke up to remind him.
However, he was interrupted by Mu Gu before he could finish speaking.
At that moment, Han Feng also saw a glint of light in Mu Gu's murderous eyes.
Upon seeing this, Han Feng immediately realized that Mu Gu had been bluffing Yao Lao and Xiao Yan.
The purpose is to put psychological pressure on the other party!
Both of them naturally knew Yao Lao's personality.
Even if you put a knife to his throat, he definitely won't tell you anything he doesn't want to say!
However, Yao Lao has a weakness: he is easily soft-hearted when it comes to those around him.
This is also why they were able to so easily outmaneuver Yao Lao back then.
Now, both Han Feng and Mu Gu can clearly see how much Yao Lao cares about Xiao Yan.
Therefore, Mu Gu's true target has always been Xiao Yan!
It could be said that if he could capture Xiao Yan, he would have achieved half of his goal.
Firstly, he could force Xiao Yan to reveal the complete Flame Mantra.
Secondly, if Xiao Yan is unwilling to talk, he might as well use Xiao Yan to threaten Yao Lao!
This is Mu Gu's plan.
So, although he kept his attention on Yao Lao and deliberately ignored Xiao Yan, it was simply to avoid arousing their suspicion.
It's clear that Mu Gu is quite cunning.
Afterwards, it was unclear whether Han Feng truly understood Mu Gu's meaning, but he obediently stood aside without daring to speak.
As for Mu Gu, while looking at Xiao Yan and Yao Lao, he stretched out his right hand, curled his fingers into a claw, and then grabbed at the Void.
"Ghost Dance Hand!"
As Mu Gu's whispered words fell, countless ghostly claws suddenly appeared out of thin air all around. In just a moment, there were already thousands of them, as if countless hands were dancing!
Their target, however, is the Remnant Souls of Xiao Yan and Yao Lao!
"Swish, swish, swish"
Faced with the countless ghostly hands flying all around, Xiao Yan and Yao Lao had absolutely no way to avoid them!
Of course, they didn't actually need to put up any resistance.
Given their current state, any resistance against the Dou Techniques unleashed by Dou Venerable would be futile.
Therefore, all they can do now is hope that someone will step in and stop Mu Gu.
"Buzz~"
"Bang bang bang"
Just as Mu Gu's Ghost Dance Hand was less than a meter away from Xiao Yan and Yao Lao, a barrier of light suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking all the ghostly claws flying everywhere!
"Hoo~ x2"
Seeing this, Xiao Yan and Yao Lao both breathed a sigh of relief.
Clearly, they also knew that the Dou Zun expert from the Jia Nan Academy had made a move!
Mu Gu was also not surprised.
Or rather, he had anticipated that the Dou Zun expert from the Jia Nan Academy might make a move.
Therefore, when he unleashed the Ghost Dance Hand, he actually held back three-tenths of his strength.
"It's finally here..."
A glint flashed in Mu Gu's eyes, and he whispered.
"Sigh~"
At the same time, a sigh reached their ears.
"I'm just an expatriate, why should I have to deal with this kind of thing?"
Following the sigh, the owner of that voice clearly spoke with a sense of helplessness.
"Buzz~"
Immediately afterwards, both of them saw the space not far away distort again.
As the Spatial Passage opened, a middle-aged man walked out with an expression of utter despair.
When he saw who it was, Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment.
Because he had never seen the other person while he was at the academy!
To be honest, Xiao Yan originally thought that one of the Qian Bai Er Lao of the Jia Nan Academy would be coming.
But to my surprise, it was a complete stranger!
However, since the other party helped him and Yao Lao block Mu Gu's attacks, they must also be a member of the Jia Nan Academy, right?
"Besides the Dean, Supreme Elder Lin, and the Qian Bai Er Lao, whom I've never met before, is there another hidden Dou Venerable in the academy?"
Xiao Yan's face was full of confusion.
In addition, there was something else that puzzled Xiao Yan.
What does "expatriate personnel" mean in their context?
Who is this Dou Zun expert blocked Mu Gu's attack and seemed unfamiliar to Xiao Yan?
It was Zhu Fang, the Seventh Elder of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, who was now Guest Elder of the Jia Nan Academy and was sent by Xiao Lin to the Jia Nan Academy to guard this Spatial Wormhole.
This explains why Zhu Fang refers to himself as an "expatriate."
After all, he was not actually a member of the Jia Nan Academy!
As for why, after Mu Gu appeared, it was Zhu Fang, a nominal Guest Elder, who took action from the Jia Nan Academy, instead of one of the Qian Bai Er Lao, there is a reason for that.
