Hearing the killing intent, Yellow Springs Venerable had no doubt about the truthfulness of Xiao Yan's words.

The coldness on Wang Chen's face faded, replaced by endless terror.

He wanted to beg for mercy, but his body was firmly restrained by Xiao Yan, and he couldn't open it even a little bit.

Between the Yellow Springs Pavilion and Wang Chen, Yellow Springs Venerable chose the former without the slightest hesitation, and directly struck out with his palm at Wang Chen.

Puff!

Wang Chen's small frame couldn't withstand a single blow from Dou Zun expert. He instantly turned into Wang Chen, practically dead.

Many people felt a sense of relief upon seeing Wang Chen's death.

Wang Chen, relying on the Yellow Springs Pavilion's background, directly disregarded the tournament rules and killed someone; he truly deserved to die!

Most of them, like Lin Yan, were ordinary people without any background, and they could empathize with this situation to some extent.

After eliminating Wang Chen, Yellow Springs Venerable looked at Xiao Yan with a fawning expression. "Senior, what do you think of this..."

However, Xiao Yan still didn't look at him directly.

Seeing that Xiao Yan was still not satisfied, he gritted his teeth and took out a Storage Ring, forcing a smile at Lin Yan, "Young friend, you have been frightened. This is a small token of my apology. Please accept it."

As he spoke, he used his Dou Qi qi to hand the Storage Ring to Lin Yan.

Looking at the Storage Ring in front of him, Lin Yan subconsciously glanced at Xiao Yan on the high platform.

In fact, when Xiao Yan first appeared, he recognized his old classmate at a glance. However, considering the huge gap in their status and strength, he was too embarrassed to go up and greet him.

Seeing Xiao Yan smile and nod at him, Lin Yan felt relieved and put away the Storage Ring. He then bowed gratefully to Xiao Yan and jumped out of the competition area.

"That's more like it. We should respect the rules of the competition, don't you think, Yellow Springs Venerable?" Xiao Yan smiled as he looked at Yellow Springs Venerable.

"Yes, yes, senior is right, I will certainly remember it!" Yellow Springs Venerable quickly replied.

What a load of bull! It's all about who has the bigger fist.

Having spent many years struggling in the Central Plains, Yellow Springs Venerable naturally understood this principle.

Seeing that the old man was so nice, Xiao Yan stopped finding fault and quietly watched the match.

With the quarterfinals decided, the tournament reached its climax with one-on-one duels.

Having suffered several humiliations, Feng Qing'er gradually regained her confidence in these battles. She raised her proud chin, as if she had already decided that she would be number one.

However, as expected, an unexpected incident occurred.

The one-on-one battle escalated to its final showdown, with Feng Qing'er facing off against Mu Qingluan.

She was easily crushed by Mu Qingluan without any surprise. Despite using all her skills, including summoning the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Bell, she still couldn't overcome the gap in their cultivation levels.

With the collision of terrifying sound waves, Feng Qing'er was knocked down from the air onto the competition stage by Mu Qingluan.

"You flatter me..." Mu Qingluan put away her jade flute, smiled, and cupped her hands in greeting.

"How could you... become so strong!" Feng Qing'er struggled to her feet, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, and stared in disbelief at Mu Qingluan, whose clothes were not even dirty.

Today was arguably the most humiliating defeat she had suffered in recent years; she didn't even have the slightest power to put up a fight...

She, Feng Qing'er, considered herself the most outstanding among the younger generation in Central Plains; how could she possibly be defeated so easily!

As a noble Heavenly Demon Phoenix, she was actually defeated by a lowly Qingluan. Instantly, a wave of humiliation surged from Feng Qing'er's heart.

"Qing'er, you've lost." Knowing that Feng Qing'er was at her limit, Thunder Venerable stood up and immediately announced the result of the competition.

"Impossible! I will never lose!" Upon hearing these words, the humiliation in Feng Qing'er's eyes gradually turned into fierceness; she simply refused to believe the outcome.

Her eyes blazed with fury as she channeled the last of her Dou Qi into a final attack on Mu Qingluan.

Seeing Feng Qing'er's unreasonable behavior, Mu Qingluan couldn't help but frown.

Without holding back, she raised her jade hand and slapped Feng Qing'er hard across the face.

Snap!

A crisp, loud slap rang out, and Feng Qing'er was immediately jolted back, completely stunned by the sudden blow.

The entire Thunder Mountain seemed to fall silent at this moment, with countless eyes fixed on Feng Qing'er's right cheek.

There, a bright red handprint stood out conspicuously.

"Feng Qing'er, you've already lost, stop making trouble here," Mu Qingluan said, slightly annoyed.

Hopefully, her slap will wake this arrogant guy up.

After saying that, she lightly touched the ground with her toes and in a few leaps, she was back beside Xiao Yan, leaving Feng Qing'er alone, bewildered in the wind.

"How was it, Senior Brother? Am I amazing?" Mu Qingluan blinked her big eyes, looking like she wanted to tell her Senior Brother to praise her.

Xiao Yan rolled his eyes. Nine-Star Dou Zong defeating a one-star Dou Zong didn't seem like anything to brag about, did it? But that slap was quite effective.

He didn't spoil the little girl's fun; instead, he gave her a thumbs up and praised her with a smile, "Awesome!"

With Mu Qingluan's victory, the Four Pavilions Assembly came to a complete end. Xiao Yan did not linger and left the Wind and Thunder Mountain Range with Mu Qingluan.

Before leaving, he also modified the consciousness of Yellow Springs Venerable to prevent the guy from taking revenge on Lin Yan while he was away.

With everything settled, Xiao Yan took Mu Qingluan and left the Northern Region, returning to the Starfall Pavilion.

Not long after Xiao Yan and his companion left, Feng Qing'er also left the Wind and Thunder Pavilion...

"You little rascal, did you enjoy the Four Pavilions Assembly?" Upon returning to the Starfall Pavilion, Yao Lao asked with a smile about the Four Pavilions Assembly.

Feng Xian was also there, and everyone became somewhat curious.

"It wasn't just fun, it was absolutely amazing!" When the two elders asked, Xiao Yan recounted the entire process of his public display of power.

Especially when Xiao Yan mentioned Yellow Springs Venerable killed Wang Chen, Venerable Feng's mouth almost twisted into a grin, and he couldn't help but clap his hands and cheer. "Well done! That old guy used to harass our Starfall Pavilion quite a bit..."

After chatting and laughing with the two elders, Xiao Yan told them about his plans for the future.

"You're planning to attack the Soul Hall!" Feng Xian was terrified upon hearing Xiao Yan's plan.

The Central Plains forces consist of One Hall, One Tower, two sects Three Valleys, Four Pavilions.

The reason why the Soul Hall is ranked first is because it possesses extremely formidable strength and resources.

Yao Lao was also somewhat curious about Xiao Yan's purpose this time.

"The Soul Hall has been collecting souls from all over the years, and each branch hall has accumulated a lot of Soul Origin. Anyway, it's free money if I don't take it. I can also break through to the Heaven Realm Great Perfection in one fell swoop," Xiao Yan explained to the two elders.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's plan, both Feng Xian and Yao Lao observed a moment of silence for the Soul Hall for 0.001 seconds.

Being Xiao Yan's opponent is simply too miserable.

Xiao Yan plans to go alone this time. With his strength and methods, he can sweep through all the branch halls of the Soul Hall in a very short time.

Something came up and I'll be back with another chapter soon, my godfathers.
