Little Yuechu, Fugui'er, and Little Xiao Xiao had happy childhoods, at least in Xiao Tian's eyes.
In Little Yuechu's view, his childhood was a miserable struggle to make a living under the control of his domineering mother. Whenever he saw his half-sister Xiaoxiao Xiao Xiao drinking Sprite and Cola, his heart would bleed.
While Wangquan Fugui was not trained as the ultimate soldier of the Daoist sect as in the original timeline, he was still given high hopes and subjected to various pressures.
Furthermore, Fate is strange; Wangquan Baye took in a disciple, seemingly intending for her to become Wangquan Fugui's wife, allowing the two to cultivate their relationship early on.
His name is Feng Tingyun.
When Xiao Tian learned that Baye brother had taken on this disciple, he almost dropped the milk in his hand.
"So, will the beautiful spider demon Qingtong appear?" Xiao Tian couldn't help but recall that the spider demon Qingtong from the original timeline was no less formidable than Tushan Yaya.
That year, Little Yuechu was seven years old, Little Xiao Xiao was six years old.
Xiao Tian, who is very busy with his business, left his two children to be raised in Tushan by Dongfang Qinlan and Tushan Yaya, and he and the Mask Group made their first joint appearance in many years.
The border of the Inside the Circle, Heavenly Gate!
A huge hole appeared in the towering city wall of Heavenly Gate, with black smoke billowing out. Its destructive power was at least at the level of Demon Emperor!
Xiao Tian raised an eyebrow as he looked at the border cultivators who had died one after another, their deaths horribly gruesome.
"How is the Elder Heavenly Gate?" Wangquan Baye asked one of the surviving border cultivators.
" The Elder Heavenly Gate is seriously injured and is currently in a coma. Every night, his face becomes ferocious, black energy rises from his body, and he is in extreme pain," the cultivator said with a terrified expression.
"Take us there." Xiao Heavenly Eye lit up; something had entered from Outside the Circle.
Inside the dilapidated Heavenly Gate Fortress, the Elder Heavenly Gate lay flat on his bed, his body covered with many talismans. Around him, some middle-aged cultivators looked solemn, seemingly on guard against the Elder Heavenly Gate going berserk and attacking them.
Xiao Tian knew something about the Elder Heavenly Gate through information from the original timeline. He was the strongest person guarding the border of the Inside the Circle, and the Heavenly Gate Curse had strengthened the Heavenly Gate City Wall, which had withstood the approach of the Outside the Circle minions for many years.
The Elder Heavenly Gate's combat strength was roughly equal to that of the Demon Emperor Miaomei, who was like the Mutt Fan Yunfei from the Xi Xi Region. However, he was now severely injured, with his internal organs turning black. Only his heart meridian was sealed and protected by the power of the Heavenly Gate Curse, which sealed off his vital life force.
" Boss Xiao, is this alright?" Wangquan Baye looked at Xiao Tian.
"No problem, as long as he doesn't die, I can cure him. It seems we need to re-plan the border defenses within this Inside the Circle." Xiao Tian muttered, gesturing for the cultivators to move aside.
As the cultivators retreated, the power of the Soul-Suppressing Talisman Array, which they had jointly enhanced, immediately weakened, and visible black energy appeared on Elder Tian Meng's face and even his entire body, rapidly spreading like a dragon.
"These black energies are extremely strange; we are completely powerless against them and can only barely suppress them," a cultivator warned.
"Don't panic." Heavenly Dao Emperor Flame rose from Xiao Tian's hand, and with a flick of his wrist, the devouring nature of the Heavenly Dao Emperor Flame Nihility Devouring Flame within it unleashed its power.
In an instant, visible to the naked eye, the black energy within the Elder Heavenly Gate's body found a convergence point and was frantically absorbed into the Heavenly Dao Emperor Flame.
As a large amount of black energy flowed in, the Heavenly Dao Emperor Flame changed from gold to blackish gold.
Wangquan Baye, Tushan Yaya, and the others couldn't help but frown. They knew how terrifying Xiao Tian's flames were; they were a level higher than the Pure Yang Flame of the Demon-Slaying Divine Flame. They hadn't expected that it would be darkened, which showed how strange the being who fought the Elder Heavenly Gate was.
