One Year

One year later, at the Langya Pavilion.

"Time flies!" Looking at the blood-red aura that seemed to linger on the distant horizon, Xiao Han couldn't help but sigh.

It must be said that the war with the Soul Hall over the past year has made Langya Pavilion and Heavenly Mansion realize just how powerful the Soul Clan, the great backer of the Soul Hall, truly is.

Within the Heavenly Mansion, including the original members and many newly joined Dou Sheng Expert, there are nearly ten Dou Sheng experts.

The Langya Pavilion has dispatched a total of ten Dou Sheng this time, and half of them are even stronger than Five-Star Dou Sheng.

With nearly twenty Dou Sheng from both sides combined, this force could easily slaughter any other Super faction in Central Plains.

However, contrary to expectations, the Soul Hall demonstrated overwhelming dominance against their almost all-out attack. They not only halted the advance but nearly pushed back the Allied Forces.

"Hun Jing..." Xiao Han thought of the actual person in charge of the Soul Hall during this period.

Although Hun Jing's colleagues were easily beaten half to death by Xiao Han, as one of the Four Demon Saints of the Soul Clan, Hun Jing's strength was genuine. He Seven-Star Dou Sheng Late Stage and had a strong deterrent effect on the battlefield.

Because of this one person, Langya Pavilion had to send two Five-Star Dou Sheng and one Six-Star Dou Sheng to contend with him, and they were even slightly at a disadvantage.

Although the Soul Clan's number of Dou Sheng Expert was less than that of the two factions, their cultivation levels were not low, and each of them could contend with more than one Dou Sheng from the Allied Forces, causing great trouble.

So much so that when Xiao Han saw the battle, he almost couldn't help but kill the old geezer called Hun Jing.

Since the Dou Sheng was ineffective, minor advantages on other battlefields were unlikely to affect the overall situation.

The two sides are currently in a stalemate, with one side launching an attack today and the other side retaliating tomorrow.

The immense pressure of war overwhelmed Langya Pavilion's logistics, and coupled with the conditions promised to the Heavenly Mansion, Xiao Han could already imagine himself reselling Langya Pavilion's assets after the war.

The only good news might be the message from Xiao Zhan.

The people he had initially favored had almost all reached the threshold of becoming Dou Sheng, and the number of Dou Sheng Expert in the Xiao Clan after its rise reached an unprecedented eight.

Besides that, what Xiao Han cared about most was the Purification Lotus Demon Fire that would appear in six months.

The news that the Purification Lotus Demon Fire is about to be born, which is about to be celebrated once again, has been quietly circulating among the major powers in the Central Plains.

There weren't many Exotic Fire that Xiao Han could take a liking to, and the Purification Lotus Demon Fire was the only one that was unclaimed. It was also the last piece of the puzzle in his junior Xiao Yan's journey of collecting Exotic Fire.

Only by subduing the Purification Lotus Demon Fire can Xiao Yan be qualified to become the successor of the Tou She Ancient God. For this reason, Xiao Han does not mind openly helping the other party in the Demon Fire Space.

However, what gave Xiao Han a real headache was that Langya Pavilion lacked Four Star Dou Sheng!

If it were Five-Star Dou Sheng, he could easily pull out several, but as for Four Star Dou Sheng, the only ones he could mobilize now were the two ancestors brought by the Xiao Clan, whose strongest were only at the Four-Star Mid Stage, and they couldn't exert any dominance.

However, if we add Elder Yao, who has already advanced to the fourth level in the Heavenly Mansion, the three of them working together would be barely enough.

Later on, there might even be an ancestor named Xiao Chen whose strength reaches the level of Five-Star Dou Sheng, giving us the advantage!

The only thing to guard against now is the Soul Clan causing trouble.

Despite having only four stars, Xiao Han didn't believe the Soul Clan Gathering honestly send out Four Star Dou Sheng to try their luck.

As he pondered, Yi Huang's image appeared in his mind, and Xiao Han couldn't help but feel a surge of joy...

"Go to the Demon Fire Space?" Yi Huang looked at Xiao Han with surprise in her beautiful eyes, her eyes filled with great doubt.

"You haven't forgotten that rule, have you?" Yi Huang revealed her aura. "Wouldn't it be inappropriate for someone like me, Five-Star Dou Sheng, to go?"

"You're a five-star?" Xiao Han asked, feigning surprise. "Are you Five-Star Dou Sheng?"

"He's only a late-stage four-star player."

Now that things have come to this, how could Yi Huang not understand the unspoken meaning in Xiao Han's words? Her lips twitched.

Indeed, unlike the other Five-Star Dou Sheng of the Langya Pavilion, Yi Huang usually presents herself as Alchemy Grandmaster and Deputy Pavilion Master, at most with the label of Pavilion Master's wife.

Even though the battle Langya Pavilion and Soul Hall was fierce over the past year, Yi Huang, a high-end combatant at the level of Five-Star Dou Sheng, never participated in the battle.

In other words, Yi Huang's current strength is unknown to the outside world. Others can only estimate her cultivation level to be around five stars by referring to Ye Jianxin's strength. It is not incomprehensible that she is Four Star Dou Sheng Late Stage.

Xiao Han is planning to send her, a Five-Star Dou Sheng, to protect someone and trick them.

But...

"Will you handle the accountability from those Ancient Races afterward?" Yi Huang chuckled. She didn't mind taking action; in fact, she felt a little itchy to do so after so many years of inaction. But there were still some things she needed to ask.

Xiao Han said calmly, "I'll give them a reason to hold me accountable, and then we'll see if they dare to come over."

Yi Huang smiled and nodded, "No problem, I'd also like to see the legendary Purification Lotus Demon Fire."

In fact, it's not just Xiao Han; all the various forces are now preparing to compete for the Purification Lotus Demon Fire, including the Soul Hall and Heavenly Mansion, who are currently at war.

Because of the preciousness of the Purification Lotus Demon Fire, the various forces have begun to tacitly slow down the intensity of the war. Most of the Dou Sheng Expert have returned to their respective headquarters, and those stationed on the front lines have rarely engaged in combat.

However, this lively scene had no effect on some people.

Central Plains, Shennong Mountain Range.

Xiao Xuan's figure suddenly appeared from among them. Sensing the several powerful auras in the distance, a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

"I never expected that kid would actually be able to send me to the Medicine World." Xiao Xuan felt secretly pleased.

In his mind, the arrangement Xiao Han mentioned back then was just to let him hide outside the Medicine World and not be discovered.

This was no simple matter. As the former patriarch of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Xuan naturally knew very well that there was only one way to achieve this result...

His junior has already figured out the outer barrier and various restrictions of the Medicine World!

Given Xiao Han's strength and ability to do this, Xiao Xuan had no doubt that Xiao Han possessed the power to wipe out the entire high-ranking Yao Clan, leaving them no time to even activate their Clan Protecting Grand Formation.

However, Xiao Xuan also knew that he was not here to cause trouble for the Yao Clan. He only needed to find a place to hide. With his strength, this little thing was a piece of cake!

And so, Xiao Xuan infiltrated the Yao Clan without any hindrance. No one, including the Medicine Tribe Clan Leader Yao Dan, knew that a primordial beast had silently infiltrated their backyard.

The Yao Clan continued to operate as usual, and perhaps only at the moment of its extermination would they discover this uninvited guest.
