Upon seeing the figure standing at the entrance of the main hall and sensing the aura emanating from him as vast and unfathomable as the ocean, Tang Zhen's eyelids twitched violently.

Immediately afterwards, the space in the main hall distorted, and a gaunt, red-haired old man slowly appeared in the hall.

"Ancestor!" Tang Zhen was also startled when he saw that figure.

The old man was none other than their Burning Flame Valley's Dou Sheng Ancestor, who had been in seclusion for many years and was known as the Old Ancestor Huoyun.

The Old Ancestor Huoyun gazed solemnly at the figure outside the main hall. "May I ask what brings this friend to my Burning Flame Valley?"

He was in seclusion when he suddenly sensed an unfamiliar aura within the Burning Flame Valley.

This unfamiliar aura was extremely powerful, many times stronger than his own, conservatively estimated to be at least that of Five-Star Dou Sheng.

Since the fate of Burning Flame Valley was at stake, he dared not be careless and immediately left seclusion to come here.

Seeing his ancestor's serious expression, Tang Zhen realized the gravity of the situation and his heart began to pound.

"You two need not be alarmed, the boy means no harm."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xiao Yan arrived in front of the two of them.

Wow, so fast!

Both Old Ancestor Huoyun and Tang Zhen were startled, shocked by Xiao Yan's speed.

They had no doubt that if Xiao Yan wanted to attack them, they wouldn't even have a chance to react.

So young!

Upon seeing Xiao Yan's appearance, the two couldn't help but marvel at how young Xiao Yan looked; he appeared to be less than thirty years old.

If it weren't for the disguise, to reach such terrifying strength at such a young age, one's talent is almost demonic!

Not sensing any malice from Xiao Yan, the tension between the two eased slightly.

"You two must be Senior Huo Yun and Valley Master Tang," Xiao Yan said with a smile, cupping his hands in greeting. "I am Xiao Yan, my master Yao Chen, and I come from the Starfall Pavilion."

Starfall Pavilion, Yao Chen!

"Yao Lao? That old fellow is actually not dead?" Upon hearing what Xiao Yan said, Old Ancestor Huoyun's eyes widened, and he blurted out his thoughts.

Tang Zhen, who was standing to the side, twitched his lips upon hearing this. He had clearly not expected his ancestor to be so blunt, saying such things directly in front of someone else's disciple. Wasn't that too offensive?

Xiao Yan didn't care about this. He knew that his teacher and the Old Ancestor Huoyun had a good relationship, and it was just a friendly banter between old friends.

With this connection, the initial tension dissipated, and the atmosphere immediately became much more harmonious.

Tang Zhen also greeted them warmly.

"I knew it. That old fellow Yao Chen is shrewd; he won't die so easily." After getting to know Xiao Yan better, Old Ancestor Huoyun chuckled and teased.

When news of Yao Chen's death spread, he absolutely refused to believe it.

Xiao Yan largely agreed with the Old Ancestor Huoyun's teasing.

Amidst their laughter and conversation, both men marveled at Yao Chen's incredible luck in having such a prodigious talent as Xiao Yan as his disciple.

"May I ask what brings you, young friend Xiao Yan, to my Burning Flame Valley?" After a brief chat, Old Ancestor Huoyun asked with a smile, "What brings you here?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Zhen also became curious.

"To be honest, senior, I come from the ancient Xiao Clan. My purpose in coming here is for my clan's secret technique, the Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations." Xiao Yan did not hide anything and immediately stated his position and purpose.

"The Xiao Clan... Could it be that person?!" Tang Zhen was shocked, instantly recalling some very ancient secrets recorded in his ancestral home.

"Young friend Xiao Yan is actually a descendant of that person! No wonder he has achieved so much at such a young age! I truly admire him greatly!" Old Ancestor Huoyun exclaimed in admiration.

Tang Zhen was also shocked. According to the ancestral records, that person was a terrifying existence who was far inferior to even the founder of their Burning Flame Valley Burning Flame Ancestor!

"You two are too kind. I was just lucky," Xiao Yan said modestly.

Although their Burning Flame Valley has a rule that the Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations cannot be passed on to outsiders, it is clear that this rule is of no use in front of the master.

It clearly belongs to someone else; if we're really going to calculate it, it's actually Burning Flame Valley that's the one whose property has been leaked.

Both of them were reasonable people, and they agreed without hesitation.

"In that case, I thank you both, seniors." Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"Father! What are you talking about?" Just then, a sweet voice rang out.

Upon hearing the sound, Xiao Yan looked over and saw a woman dressed in fiery red attire enter the main hall.

The woman was strikingly beautiful, with delicate eyebrows that hinted at a heroic spirit. Paired with a dark red whip at her waist and a fitted outfit, she exuded a dashing and unique charm.

Upon seeing the woman, Tang Zhen's smile softened, "Huo'er, why aren't you resting at your residence? What are you doing here?"

This woman is Tang Zhen's daughter, Tang Huo'er.

"It's too stuffy inside, I came out for a walk." Tang Huo'er stuck out her tongue as she walked, sizing up Xiao Yan, this stranger.

Her gaze swept over Xiao Yan, and then she saw the Old Ancestor Huoyun sitting to the side drinking tea. Her beautiful eyes immediately lit up. "Ancestor, why have you come out of seclusion!?"

Her ancestor was in seclusion most of the year, and even though she had lived in Burning Flame Valley since childhood, she had only seen him a handful of times.

The Old Ancestor Huoyun was somewhat embarrassed. Of course, he couldn't say that he had been frightened out of his ancestral state by Xiao Yan; otherwise, what would become of his authority as an ancestor?

"Huo'er, this is my young friend Xiao Yan. He's about your age, but his strength is far inferior to even Xiao Yan father's. You should learn a lot from him." Tang Zhen introduced him to Tang Huo'er without any embarrassment.

Upon hearing this, Tang Huo'er immediately pouted and sneered, "Father, have you been bewitched by this guy? How could that be?!"

Who is her father? He is the current Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley, a genuine Dou Zun expert!

She's not even as good as someone her own age? That's utterly unbelievable.

"Ahem, Huo'er, don't be rude. Young friend Xiao Yan's talent is beyond your imagination." Upon hearing this, Old Ancestor Huoyun coughed twice and reprimanded him.

"Ancestor, you're getting senile!" Tang Huo'er stamped her foot, somewhat angrily.

"I hope my young friend Xiao Yan won't take offense. My daughter is just a bit impatient..." Tang Zhen said apologetically to Xiao Yan.

Seeing that both elders were siding with Xiao Yan, Tang Huo'er had no choice but to glare at him with her Xiao Yan eyes.

Xiao Yan found this spoiled Little Chili Pepper quite appealing.

He didn't seem to care, completely ignoring Tang Huo'er's beautiful gaze, and said with a smile, "Valley Master Tang, you're overthinking it. Let's go see the Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations first."

"Alright, young friend Xiao Yan, follow me." Tang Zhen and Old Ancestor Huoyun stood up, gestured with their right hands, and took the lead.

Xiao Yan also stood up and followed.

Feeling ignored, Little Chili Pepper stomped her little feet angrily and followed after him in a huff.

After passing through various passages, the group finally arrived at the place in Burning Flame Valley where the Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations Inheritance Crystal was stored.
