Candle Flame Returns

"Teacher, that Dou Sheng's corpse..." Xiao Yan's face showed determination, "I will definitely get a set for you."

"..." The Elder Yao remained silent, his eyes reddening. Heaven had been kind to him; Yao Chen hadn't been blind again.

"Focus on your cultivation, we'll talk about the future later!" Elder Yao said irritably.

To encourage Xiao Yan, Elder Yao revealed another piece of information. "Kid, you should have noticed that little girl with the Woeful Poison Body by now!"

"What's wrong, teacher?" Xiao Yan asked.

"She's about your age, but her cultivation level is now at the Dou Zong Peak!"

"T-Teacher!" Xiao Yan's lips twitched. "Are you kidding me?"

He believed that even if his cultivation hadn't disappeared back then, he would be lucky to become Dou Emperor by now, let alone Dou Zong!

"So..." the Elder Yao said wearily, "Little Yanzi, you must work hard!"

"Yes!" Xiao Yan felt his chances were slim. What kind of monsters were there in Central Plains? His confidence had been almost completely shattered.

However, Xiao Yan was unaware that Elder Yao was also severely shocked. The Langya Pavilion had truly spared no expense for this little Xian'er girl, Dou Zong Peak around eighteen years old.

If he remembered correctly, even the most outstanding geniuses of his original race were no match for this Xian'er.

As for Central Plains...

Eighteen-year-old Dou Wang are already geniuses, and twenty-something Dou Emperor and Dou Zong are the norm for geniuses in Central Plains.

This shows just how incredible Xian'er's talent and the investment Langya Pavilion made in her were.

However, Elder Yao wasn't too worried, Xiao Yan's normal cultivation level was naturally inferior to that of this Xian'er.

Unfortunately, that person has a cheat code! Xiao Yan's strength can completely absorb Exotic Fire and increase abnormally. Although he may not be able to compare with the other party, he can definitely be among the top geniuses.

But this was just a minor incident on the road. Putting aside his complicated thoughts, Xiao Yan continued on his way.

There are several small countries between the Jia Ma Empire and the Black-Corner Region, and the safety of this route cannot be guaranteed. According to Xiao Yan's estimate, it will take him at least a month to arrive.

Not to mention he still had to go to Canaan Institute. He had almost used up all the vacation time he had taken, and Xun Er was still waiting for him in the Outer Academy.

On the other side, Xiao Wu and Xian'er had already left.

"Xian'er, are you going back now?" Xiao Wu turned to Xian'er beside him.

The materials needed to condense the Poison Pill are not hard to find; Langya Pavilion has them in stock.

Three Exotic Fire — Yi Huang, Xian'er, and an Alchemy Grandmaster Elder from the Langya Pavilion who possesses Exotic Fire —are more than enough.

Although Langya Pavilion doesn't have Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva, they do have superior Bodhi Seed, which will definitely be more effective.

According to Xiao Wu, things could get complicated if they waited too long, so it was best to condense the Poison Pill as soon as possible. He was enough as long as he was here.

However, Xian'er shook her head, contrary to her usual behavior, and slowly said to Xiao Wu's puzzlement, "It's alright, waiting a few more days won't be a problem!"

"Fine!" Xiao Wu looked defeated. He wasn't worried about Xian'er getting into trouble. Staying here would be good for her company.

On that day, Zhu Li and another Elder Qi You, who was on Eastern Dragon Island, were waiting anxiously.

Under the expectant gazes of the two, in the distance, two Void Ancient Dragons, each a thousand feet tall, were rushing toward them.

In just ten minutes, they landed on Dragon Island and transformed into two aged figures.

Zhu Li and Qi You immediately stepped forward to pay their respects, but were rudely interrupted by the leading elder.

"Zhu Li, why did you call us two old folks back? I'm at a crucial moment in my breakthrough."

"Grand Elder..." Just as Zhu Li was about to say something, a voice that was extremely unfamiliar to Candle Flame appeared in his ear.

"It's not his fault, I'm the one who had them call you back."

"Hmm?" Candle Flame and the Second Elder Zhu Yuan's expressions darkened. They looked in the direction of the voice and saw a white-clad man with an inconspicuous aura. It was Xiao Han, who had been waiting on Ancient Dragon Island for two months.

The Candle Flame demanded sharply, "Who are you?"

"Sigh!" Xiao Han sighed, "Looks like I'll have to make sure you all listen to me properly!"

"Pavilion Master Su, please wait a moment..." Zhu Li's expression changed, and he was about to stop him, but it was too late.

Xiao Han made no unnecessary movements, but simply unleashed his aura, causing the two people with Candle Flame to feel as if they were standing on the edge of an abyss, their bodies completely stiff and unable to move.

However, Xiao Han quickly withdrew his power, while Zhu Huo and the Candle Flame were panting heavily, their bodies soaked in cold sweat.

He stared in horror at the young man in front of him.

"I told you I meant no harm, otherwise none of you will live." Xiao Han said the most arrogant words in a calm tone.

Candle Flame turned his gaze to Zhu Li to the side with a wry smile.

"Grand Elder, this is the Ice Saint of the Langya Pavilion. He has come here to discuss important matters with our Ancient Dragon Island," Zhu Li explained to Candle Flame via telepathy.

"What kind of power is Langya Pavilion?"

Candle Flame recalled his long dragon life but couldn't find any recollection of the Central Region, Langya Pavilion, so he asked Zhu Li for information.

"Reporting to the Grand Elder, Langya Pavilion was established only a little over a hundred years ago. You were already in seclusion at that time, so naturally you were unaware of this power," Zhu Li replied.

"What? A hundred years?" Fire Dragon's eyes narrowed, and he said incredulously:

"Are you joking with me? This powerful figure is so formidable, and you're saying his power was only established a hundred years ago?"

Xiao Han's move just now completely stunned the Candle Flame. Even if this powerful person is human, it's not something that can be cultivated in more than a hundred years, right?

Shouldn't such a strong person have been famous for a long time?

Zhu Li nodded bitterly, after all, the matter of the Langya Pavilion was no secret in Central Plains.

Whether it was the Ice Saint of yesteryear or the Ice Saint of today, both are outstanding figures whose names resound throughout the Central Plains; any random passerby could easily find out about them.

"Huff~" The Candle Flame gasped for breath, forced to accept reality.

Then, changing the subject, he asked, "What is he doing on our Ancient Dragon Island?"

"I don't know!" Zhu Li shook his head and said.

"It was only because the other party specifically requested to speak with you personally, Grand Elder, and said that it concerned my entire Void Ancient Dragon Tribe that I risked summoning Grand Elder."

Candle Flame felt a chill run down his spine for Zhu Li. This kid was too honest! Wasn't he afraid that the other side would wipe them all out in one fell swoop?

At this moment, Zhu Li suddenly added, "Moreover, this Ice Saint seems to know about the fact that our Void Ancient Dragon has fallen into division."

These words struck Candle Flame Grand Elder like a bolt from the blue, directly impacting his mind and spirit.

However, in order to improve Zhu Xiao Han Candle Flame, Zhu Li also mentioned how Xiao Han had helped when the North Dragon King attacked.

Sure enough, after hearing about this, Candle Flame's gaze towards Xiao Han became much more affectionate.

However...

Before the Candle Flame could react further, Xiao Han's voice came again.

"Alright, that's enough catching up. I'll answer your questions in detail. Now, let's talk about what's going on between us."
