Battle Through the Heavens: The Ice Saint of the Xiao Clan, Chapter Eleven: The Impact of the Great War

When Xiao Han returned to the Langya Pavilion, he immediately found Yi Huang and then learned some news that shocked him, but which he had expected.

A relieved smile played on his lips, "The Human Hall has indeed been destroyed!"

Yi Huang nodded with a smile, "It wasn't for nothing that we helped them hold off a lot of reinforcements."

Each of the Heavenly Dipper Hall in the Soul Hall is a crucial hub, and the recent mysterious killing of the Saint Gu You has created a climate of fear and unease within the Soul Hall.

Even if the Human Hall is the weakest, how could it be easily defeated by Elder Yao and a few Low-Level Dou Sheng and Half-Saint?

Various reinforcements were able to arrive in a very short time, especially the Vice Hall Master and Hall Master Hun Miesheng. If Ye Jianxin and Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice hadn't blocked their way in advance, Elder Yao and the others would have been surrounded.

The others could only be said to have taken advantage of the time difference. The Elder Yao and his group acted very quickly, sweeping the entire Human Hall in just two hours, and even had time to announce their names.

"But..." Yi Huang hesitated slightly before saying, "The Soul Hall seems to be going a bit crazy right now. The newly emerging super alliance, Heavenly Mansion, is being suppressed quite severely."

"Do you need our help?"

Yi Huang's words were already quite tactful; in reality, it was far more than just somewhat serious—it was downright terrifying.

Although the Soul Hall lacked the combat power to attack the major sects, it wasn't that it did nothing.

During this period, members of forces such as Starfall Pavilion, Burning Flame Valley, Flower Sect, and Pill Tower were subjected to extremely frequent attacks, with key members receiving special attention.

Especially for someone like Xiao Yan, a talented but not particularly strong heir to a powerful family, he has narrowly escaped death multiple times. Fortunately, he was protected by a group of powerful individuals, which prevented any truly tragic events from occurring.

Extreme Spirit Chaos Art

Xiao Han, however, didn't care at all. Since they dared to cause such a big fuss back then, these old foxes had naturally thought through the consequences.

It's just a little bit of retaliation; it can only slow down the development of the Heavenly Mansion, and it won't have any fundamental impact on the various forces that are currently integrating.

And...

Xiao Han reassured him, "Don't worry, the Soul Hall's activities in Central Plains won't last long."

The reason he was delayed for so long was all because of his junior.

Xiao Zhan's achievements have exceeded Xiao Han's expectations. This junior, whose talent is not particularly high, has brought Xiao Han a great surprise.

With the help I provided, he was able to rise straight to the Ninth Turn Dou Zun Peak, and even stayed at that level for more than ten days.

Don't underestimate these mere ten days. When these ten days are combined with a hundred times the energy absorption efficiency, the duration of the suppression is unimaginable.

Although he suffered greatly as a result, it also made Xiao Zhan's Dou Qi extremely powerful and solid, and his breakthrough to the level of Half-Saint was just around the corner.

In addition to the pills left behind by Xiao Han, it has only been two years since he became Dou Sheng).

Now that Xiao Zhan has emerged from seclusion, and with a large number of Dou Zun expert assisting him, the Xiao Clan will surely turn the Northwest Continent upside down. The Soul Hall's attention will soon shift to the "remnants of the Xiao Clan".

Furthermore, after the surprise attack on the Human Hall by Elder Yao and others, the core strength of the Soul Hall suffered extremely heavy losses, and it would take time to mobilize manpower from within the Soul Clan.

When they are distracted, the crackdown on the Heavenly Mansion will naturally slow down.

Then, Xiao Han turned to Yi Huang and asked curiously, "What happened at the Pill Assembly?"

"The Pill Assembly?" Yi Huang tilted her head, a smile spreading across her face. "With the major incident caused by the Medicine Saint and his group, what does the Pill Assembly to do with it?"

The Pill Assembly is nothing more than a competition among a group of Eighth-Rank Alchemist. Compared to its influence, the alliance of several top sects against the Soul Hall is naturally more worthy of discussion.

"This year's Pill Assembly was quite fraught with difficulties, but in the end, your junior still won the championship."

"Xiao Yan Kid?" Xiao Han confirmed.

"Hmm! You've successfully refined Eighth Grade Pill with Five-Colored Pill Lightning!"

Yi Huang blinked her eyes.

He stared at Xiao Han with an extremely curious look, which sent chills down the latter's spine.

"Tell me, what merits or abilities does your Xiao Clan possess...?"

"First, we had a cultivation genius like you, and then we had a Yao Tian..."

"All I can say is..." Yi Huang shook her head, looking extremely cute, "She wasn't meant to die!"

He then continued, "However, the plan for the top ten to enter the Star Region and subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flames has been temporarily suspended."

"It's stopped?" Xiao Han raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised. "Aren't the Three Giants afraid that those old fogies in the Little Pill Tower will cause trouble by doing this?"

The top ten in the Pill Assembly are qualified to attempt to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flames; this is a rule that has been passed down for many years.

For the old guys at Little Pill Tower, rules are everything. Doesn't he have to consider those old men when he does this?

"Causing trouble?" Yi Huang said nonchalantly, "Do you think the Three Giants would dare to do this without the tacit approval of the Little Pill Tower Elder' Council?"

"That's true!" Xiao Han nodded in agreement.

Then, Yi Huang chuckled and, under Xiao Han's questioning gaze, said, "The one who suffered the most this time is probably Old Man Mu Gu!"

"After his identity Pill Assembly was instantly captured by the Three Giants; he had nowhere to run!"

Xiao Han sighed, "This is just bad luck!"

Under normal circumstances, if someone were to successfully infiltrate the Pill Assembly, the Three Giants probably wouldn't dare to kill him in public.

However, times have changed. The Pill Tower has already started a war with the Soul Hall. Why would they care about a Venerable Elder of the Soul Hall? Wouldn't that be like walking into a trap? No one dared to speak out of turn.

Moreover, as Alchemist had fallen so low as to seek refuge with the Soul Hall, Old Man Mu Gu had clearly made too many enemies in the Central Plains and could no longer survive there. So how could anyone possibly speak up for him?

"So the Three Thousand Burning Flames will continue to stay in the Star Region, aren't you afraid something will happen?" Xiao Han asked.

Yi Huang frowned slightly, her fingertips lightly tapping her fair brows, denying, "That's impossible."

"It seems that Xuan Kongzi intends to give the Three Thousand Burning Flames to Xiao Yan," Yi Huang said, offering her speculation.

"Oh?" Xiao Han suddenly sat up straight. "Pre-arranged?"

"Not bad." Yi Huang continued, "Among the top ten in Pill Assembly Gathering, two senior figures and Xinlan and two others had no intention of subduing the Exotic Fire. Mu Gu was killed."

Although the Qinghua Old Freak desired the Exotic Fire, he had already agreed to our recruitment and reserved the Fire Cloud Water Flame, ranked sixteenth. His desire for the Three Thousand Burning Flames wasn't as strong.

"As for the others, almost all of them have some connection with the Pill Tower. It wouldn't be difficult to get them to give up. After all, the difficulty of subduing the Three Thousand Burning Flames is well known. It would be better to exchange them for more benefits."

Xiao Han felt that the title of the Fierce Qi Continent's Favored Son" was truly well-deserved. After a long silence, he could only sigh and say, " Xiao Yan is a truly blessed young man!"

Yi Huang nodded in deep agreement. Given such a golden opportunity, she believed that the Three Thousand Burning Flames should rightfully be Xiao Yan's.

"Therefore, we can start subduing Xiao Yan once his cultivation level is higher."

In Xiao Han's view, this was the simplest and most convenient step. Don't be fooled by the fact that Xiao Yan barely escaped death even with the help of the Dragon Seal when he subdued the Three Thousand Burning Flames in the Original work.

But times have changed. The most difficult thing to deal with the Three Thousand Burning Flames is their intelligence, which has evolved over countless years.

With Elder Yao's current strength, he is fully capable of forcibly erasing the consciousness of the Three Thousand Burning Flames without damaging its essence.

At that time, the Three Thousand Burning Flames would be nothing more than an ordinary Exotic Fire. A ball of Three Thousand Burning Flames that only had instinct left could not pose any threat to Xiao Yan, who had the Burning Flame Art and whose strength had reached the Peak Dou Zong. He could only let the latter mold and crush him.

"The Central Plains will probably never be deserted again!" Xiao Han sighed as he looked out the window at the crimson clouds.
