Before long, the Flame Alliance released an announcement.
Queen Medusa had entered seclusion to break through to Dou Zong, and Lu Man would temporarily oversee all affairs of the Heavenly Snake Hall.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yan ordered his people to gather the ingredients for the Yin-Yang Life Soul Pill, intending to resurrect Heavenly Fire Venerable first.
The Flame Alliance's reputation was growing ever more prominent. Having another Dou Zun expert stationed there would help deter enemies coveting the alliance.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King still had plenty of high-ranking magical beast blood essence left, including some from eighth- and ninth-rank beasts. Though there was not much of those, it was enough.
The only thing Xiao Yan lacked was the Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill.
However, it could be replaced with a mid-grade seventh-rank pill, the Yin-Yang Life Soul Pill.
The Yin-Yang Life Soul Pill served much the same purpose as the Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill, though its medicinal effects were somewhat weaker.
Moreover, its ingredients were not as difficult to find as those of the Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill.

During that half-month, quite a few more experts joined the Flame Alliance.
