" Heavenly Flames!"
The moment Xiao Yan's body ignited with Heavenly Flames, the temperature inside the entire hall suddenly soared. The terrifying heat even caused the air to distort and tear apart. Almost simultaneously, Fang Chi at the head of the table and the three Fang Clan elders below him exclaimed in surprise. Their faces were filled with dumbfounded expressions, and the shock in their hearts was beyond words.
At the same time, Mao Xun, who was being questioned by Xiao Yan with his imposing aura, suddenly looked ugly. His face Elder Zhang pale and then red, and the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily.
The sudden appearance of the Heavenly Flames made him realize that his plan for the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect was likely to fall through.
Before the Heavenly Flames, no matter how powerful the poison is, it will lose its luster. The Heavenly Flames is not only the most terrifying power in the world, but also the nemesis of all poisons. Even if the poison in Fang Zhicong's body is a thousand times or ten thousand times more terrible, it can still be easily expelled if there is Heavenly Flames.
"Damn it! How could this kid possibly possess Heavenly Flames!"
The Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect had planned everything meticulously, but they hadn't anticipated that someone would actually possess the Heavenly Flames, and that the Fang Clan would happen to encounter it. This kind of coincidence was truly infuriating.
But what can we do now? What can we possibly do?
Since Heavenly Flames has appeared, no matter what he says, the Fang Clan will still choose Xiao Yan. In fact, if he angers these guys, it's not impossible that they might go crazy and kill him.
"Hahaha! Good! Mr. Xiao Yan, since it was Lan Ye who invited us, then my son's illness will depend entirely on you, Mr. Xiao Yan. If the poison in my son's body can be completely cleared, Fang Chi, guarantee that not only will I give you all the benefits that my Fang Clan has promised to others, but Fang Chi Xiao Yan, will also owe you an extra favor. In the future, if you ever need anything from Fang Chi, I will do my utmost to help you!"
Xiao Yan's appearance not only saved Fang Zhicong, but also eliminated the biggest threat to the Fang Clan. This made Fang Chi even more grateful for Xiao Yan's appearance, in addition to his excitement.
Upon hearing Fang Chi's words, Xiao Yan simply nodded calmly, but his heart was filled with joy. He had waited so long for this very sentence from Fang Chi. With the favor of a powerful Origin King Great Realm, his trip to the Far Southern Land would be greatly guaranteed.
As for you...
As soon as Fang Chi finished expressing his gratitude to Xiao Yan, his expression immediately turned sharp. His cold gaze instantly locked onto Mao Xun, who was about to turn and run away. This guy had lost his confidence at this moment, and even his movements when leaving became furtive, just like a rat crossing the street.
" Mao Xun!"
Lan Ye flashed and appeared in front of Mao Xun in an instant. Without any mercy, he struck Mao Xun with a palm. The latter was terrified and hurriedly mobilized the Origin Qi in his body to defend. After the collision, Lan Ye took a step back and steadied himself, while Mao Xun staggered back several steps before stopping. He did not look like a Late Origin Return Realm expert at all.
"Want to leave? Not so easy!"
Seeing that Mao Xun was no match for him, Lan Ye sneered and was about to press his advantage when he was stopped by Fang Chi once again.
" Lan Ye, let him go."
Upon hearing this, Lan Ye froze, then turned to Fang Chi with disbelief, asking reluctantly:
"Patriarch, how can we let him go? If it weren't for Mr. Xiao Yan's arrival today, I'm afraid..."
"Let him go. I know you hate him, but if he doesn't leave our Fang Clan, news of his arrival here will likely spread immediately. Whether it's true or false, the higher-ups will eventually become suspicious of us. Let him go... Go back and tell your master that our Fang Clan will never betray its own power, nor will it join either the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect or the Heavenly Puppet Sect!"
Even though Lan Ye was unwilling, in order to prove the Fang Clan's innocence in this matter, he had no choice but to withdraw his source Origin Qi. He stared angrily at Mao Xun, whose face was full of fear, and the killing intent in his eyes was almost tangible.
After confirming that Lan Ye wouldn't make a move, the latter cautiously retreated until he reached the door, at which point he hurriedly turned around and ran out of the reception hall as if fleeing.
Only at this moment did the hall quiet down, and the previously heavy atmosphere subsided with Mao Xun's departure.
"Hehe, Mr. Xiao Yan, I apologize for the embarrassment you had just experienced."
Stepping forward, Fang Chi greeted Xiao Yan with a warm smile and clasped his hands in a fist salute. The latter, feeling immediately apprehensive, dared not be careless and quickly returned the salute. Afterward, Fang Chi invited Xiao Yan and his group to sit down. After a brief chat, the atmosphere in the hall immediately became much more relaxed.
After a few simple questions, Fang Chi realized that these people were not from the Far Southern Land. No wonder they didn't know about the Fang Clan. As for Lan Ye, he had been whispering something in Fang Chi's ear ever since they sat down, probably telling him about their experiences on the road. Xiao Yan didn't think much of it and just answered Fang Chi's questions casually, occasionally using the conversation to ask a few questions about the Fang Clan.
At the same time, Mao Xun, who had rushed out of the Fang Clan's reception hall, was fleeing rapidly out of the Fang Clan, but he encountered Fang Zhicong, who was alone, halfway there.
With his thoughts racing, Mao Xun looked at Fang Zhicong in front of him, and a look of resentment and venom welled up in the depths of his eyes. Then, he flipped his hand, and a dark green pill appeared in his palm. Although it looked similar to an ordinary pill, the aura it emitted made people feel nauseous.
"Hmph, so what if it's Heavenly Flames? It ruined my Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect's plans, so you'll pay with your life!"
"Oh, he's actually Fifth-Tier Alchemist! Mr. Xiao Yan is indeed a prodigy. Not only is his cultivation so formidable, but he's also so skilled in alchemy, and he even possesses Heavenly Flames that ordinary people can't have. I must say, Mr. Xiao Yan is truly a dragon among men!"
In the Fang Clan's reception hall, Fang Chi continued to ask Xiao Yan some obscure questions. When he mentioned that Xiao Yan was actually an alchemist, his expression changed drastically, and the other three Fang Clan elders beside him couldn't help but show surprise.
Such a young Fifth-Tier Alchemist is probably one of a kind even in the entire Southern Region.
"Mr. Xiao Yan is indeed a genius, I must admit that. However, I have another question I would like to ask Mr. Xiao Yan to answer."
Fang Chi smiled slightly, and seeing that the other person smiled and nodded, he quickly followed up by saying:
"Then, Mr. Xiao Yan, what exactly is your relationship with the Heavenly Puppet Sect?"
The atmosphere in the room froze instantly upon hearing this.
