Sound Valley's Strength, the Destruction of the Heavenly Underworld Sect
Xiao Yan agreed to Tang Zhen's request without much hesitation.
Curing this backlash from the Heavenly Flames is incredibly easy; activating the Horse Talisman is almost instantaneous.
The father and daughter were overjoyed to see that Xiao Yan had agreed.
Tang Zhen was about to prepare the Medicinal Herbs needed for Pill Refining Xiao Yan's alchemy when Xiao Yan stopped him.
"Young friend, do you need anything else?" Tang Zhen asked, puzzled, when Xiao Yan called out to him.
"No need for all that trouble, just do it here." Xiao Yan said, not uttering any more words, and pointed directly.
The noble horse cleansed itself of all external forces.
Tang Huo'er felt a warmth she had never experienced before. The aftereffects of the backlash from the Heavenly Flames in her body were instantly healed by this warmth, and her physical condition visibly improved.
"This!" Tang Zhen and Old Ancestor Huoyun were both stunned and shocked when they saw this scene.
"Miss Tang, why don't you try feeling it?" Xiao Yan withdrew his finger, looking self-satisfied.
Tang Huo'er quickly checked herself, and her beautiful eyes instantly filled with surprise. "My body... has recovered!"
Xiao Yan's move was truly miraculous. In just a few breaths, all the hidden injuries left by the backlash in her body were completely cleared away. It was simply unbelievable.
Tang Zhen and Old Ancestor Huoyun, who witnessed the entire process, were deeply shocked and their emotions were beyond words.
Upon witnessing Xiao Yan's extraordinary abilities, the Old Ancestor Huoyun felt as if he had met a kindred spirit too late.
If he had met Xiao Yan earlier, he wouldn't have needed to spend so many years recovering from his injuries; he could have simply asked Xiao Yan for help.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Xiao Yan." Tang Huo'er said sincerely with a bright smile on her face.
Xiao Yan smiled and waved his hand, "It was nothing."
Strictly speaking, it's even simpler than raising your hand; just lift one finger.
"Whatever reward my young friend Xiao Yan desires, I, Tang, will do my best to satisfy it!" With his daughter's health problem resolved, Tang Zhen was in high spirits and immediately inquired about the reward.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and then said, "No need for a reward. I just wanted to inquire about the situation of Sound Valley from Valley Master Tang and Senior Huo Yun."
More than the reward, he wanted to learn about this mysterious force that wasn't even mentioned in the original story.
These two families live so close together and have been neighbors for many years, they must know each other quite well.
"The Sound Valley..." Upon hearing this, both Tang Zhen and Old Ancestor Huoyun showed thoughtful expressions.
"Is young friend Xiao Yan planning to go to Sound Valley?" Tang Zhen asked.
Xiao Yan nodded. "I've heard that this force is quite mysterious, so I want to go and broaden my horizons."
It's like discovering an unknown area in a game; it's hard to resist exploring it, and it would be even better if you could get some lucky breaks.
"To be honest, young friend, although my Burning Flame Valley and Sound Valley are both among the Three Valleys, we have very little contact with each other. In addition, Sound Valley has been living in seclusion for many years, so the information we have is also very limited," Tang Zhen said apologetically.
"It's alright, Valley Master Tang, please speak freely. I just want to get a general understanding," Xiao Yan said nonchalantly.
Tang Zhen nodded and briefly explained his understanding of Sound Valley, giving Xiao Yan Sound Valley general understanding of it as well.
Besides the location and style of Sound Valley, he also knew some other information.
Take, for example, the characteristics of cultivation.
Just as most people in the Burning Flame Valley specialize in Fire Attribute Dou Qi, most people in the Sound Valley specialize in Soul Power, are skilled in various terrifying sonic Dou Technique, and have a wide variety of attack methods, with musical instruments being the most common.
The Seven-String Spirit-Quelling Melody that Xiao Yan obtained earlier came from the Sound Valley, so it's not hard to see that most of the people in the Sound Valley use music as their weapon.
No wonder they're so reclusive and dislike getting involved in conflicts; they're just a bunch of artists.
At the same time, Tang Zhen also stated that the Sound Valley Master should be stronger than him.
After some casual conversation, Xiao Yan had a rough estimate of Sound Valley's strength.
The high-level combat power of the Sound Valley should be greater than that of the Burning Flame Valley. There is probably more than one Dou Zun in the valley, and it is very likely that there is also Dou Sheng Expert in charge.
"Those guys aren't completely cut off from the outside world," said Old Ancestor Huoyun. "As far as I know, the Azure Luan Clan of the Beast Region seems to have some connections with the Sound Valley."
Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow, surprised that the two could be connected. But then he thought of his Junior Sister's Qingluan Jade Flute and he could understand it now.
So you're saying you have to be involved in music, and if you don't make music, you're not included?
Having gathered sufficient information about the Sound Valley, Xiao Yan decided not to linger any longer. After a brief farewell, he left the Burning Flame Valley.
He temporarily abandoned his plan to go to the Sound Valley alone, and without lingering in the Central Region, headed towards the Starfall Pavilion in the Southern Region.
This time, I'll go back to see my Junior Sister, and it's also time to destroy the Heavenly Underworld Sect.
We're bound to clash sooner or later, so we might as well strike early and eliminate them, bringing some benefits to the Starfall Pavilion family and expanding our influence.
With his incredible speed, Xiao Yan returned to the Star Realm in the blink of an eye.
Since both Yao Lao and Venerable Feng were there, Xiao Yan went directly to them.
"You're back. How have things been these past few days?" Yao Lao asked with a smile upon seeing Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan sat down, took a sip of tea, and smiled, "It went very smoothly. Master Qing is also doing well; her strength has already broken through to the High-Rank Half-Saint realm."
"You brat, did I ask you that?" the Yao Lao said with a helpless smile.
"Brother Chen, it's been so many years, and you still don't dare to face Fairy Qing?" Feng Xian teased with a smile upon hearing this.
Even the Yao Lao looked somewhat embarrassed by Feng Xian and his disciples' teasing.
After a brief chat, Xiao Yan told Yao Lao and Feng Xian about his idea of destroying the Heavenly Underworld Sect.
"So that's how it is. The Heavenly Underworld Sect is actually involved with the Soul Hall?" After listening to Xiao Yan's explanation, Feng Xian's expression changed.
"I'll listen to you. If you say we should destroy them, then we'll go and destroy them," said the Yao Lao nonchalantly.
He had been by Xiao Yan's side for so long that he had long since gotten used to the good habit of not using his brain. In any case, he only needed to follow his disciple in everything.
Destroying the Heavenly Underworld Sect was simple; the real trouble lay in taking over its power and organizing its resources afterward. Therefore, Xiao Yan chatted with Feng Xian for a while longer before returning to his residence.
He told the four women about his plan.
Even the weakest of the four women, Ya Fei, is a Nine-Star Dou Zun. Apart from Ya Fei, any one of them would be enough to destroy the Heavenly Underworld Sect, which only has Half-Saint.
After finishing the important business, it was time to talk about the bad stuff. Xiao Yan also prepared to check if the four women had been slacking off during his absence.
At this moment, the Heavenly Underworld Sect was peaceful.
No one knew that soon their power would cease to exist.
