As the voice faded, an extremely powerful aura suddenly emanated from the sky above the heads of the people present. Upon sensing that aura, Bai Hansheng and the old man from the Yao Clan immediately changed their expressions.
" Four-Star Yuan Zun!"
The newcomer's strength was actually much greater than theirs!
Amidst the tremors of heaven and earth, a burly figure radiating a golden light slowly appeared in the once calm void. As the golden light faded, a giant clad in golden armor, standing over two zhang tall with limbs as thick as ancient trees, appeared before Xiao Yan and the others. The most striking feature of the giant was its pair of several-foot-long, gleaming white teeth extending outward from its lower jaw, giving its entire face a fierce and menacing appearance.
As soon as the giant appeared, his gaze was fixed on the magnificent Fire Lotus between Xiao Yan's hands. While he was surprised, a hint of delight flashed in his eyes.
Upon seeing the giant appear, the old man from the Yao Clan seemed to know him somewhat, and immediately clasped his hands in a fist and smiled, saying:
"So it's the Snow Region Elephant Venerable. I didn't expect that a conflict between humans would alarm you. I have some grudges with this young man, and I hope that the Elephant Venerable will refrain from interfering for the sake of the Pill Tower."
Upon hearing this, the giant frowned, his scrutinizing gaze falling on the old man, and he asked in a questioning tone that was neither too loud nor too soft:
"Oh, you're from Pill Tower?"
The old man grinned and chuckled, saying proudly:
"I am Yao Suifeng, a Yao Clan..."
"Then what the hell are you spouting about, the Pill Tower?!"
However, before Yao Suifeng could finish speaking, the giant impatiently interrupted him, his cold rebuke causing Yao Suifeng's Elder Zhang to turn ashen instantly.
" Xiang Wuhui, don't be so arrogant. The Yao Clan and the Pill Tower are one entity. Since I have appeared here, I represent the Pill Tower. If you insist on interfering, aren't you afraid of being punished by the Pill Tower?"
"Hmph, you old codger who isn't even an alchemist dares to represent the Pill Tower? I don't know how you got into the secret realm, but if you don't get out of here, I'll tell Five Daozi about the Yao Clan sending people into the secret realm, and see how they deal with the Yao Clan!"
Faced with Yao Suifeng's threatening words, the giant Xiang Wuhui was even more disdainful. His words immediately made the former's heart pound with anxiety, and he was so nervous that he broke out in a sweat.
Yao Shiling was forced to be eliminated in the first round, which enraged his father. In order to take revenge on Xiao Yan, Yao Suifeng secretly replaced the spot of another member of the Yao Clan in the competition. He secretly infiltrated the secret realm in this round, intending to eliminate Xiao Yan without anyone knowing. But who knew that things would turn out like this?
As a member of the Pill Tower, the Yao Clan has disrupted the Pill Gathering's proceedings. If this were to become known to outsiders, the Pill Tower would surely lose face. Moreover, the Yao Clan's influence within the Pill Tower is not as great as that of the Huo Huoxun Clan. If Xiang Wuhui were to say something to Five Daozi, the Pill Tower's wrath would likely be unbearable for the Yao Clan, and their position within the Pill Tower would become even more precarious in the future!
"Snort!"
Yao Suifeng gritted his teeth and pondered for a moment, but finally let out a helpless snort. He flicked his sleeves and stared at Xiao Yan with murderous intent for a few moments before turning and leaving. Xiao Yan rolled his eyes and sneered as he secretly remembered the incident.
Xiang Wuhui Yao Suifeng, who left with a dark expression, and instead turned his gaze to Bai Hansheng, coldly demanding:
"And you?"
Upon seeing the giant's sharp gaze, Bai Hansheng's expression immediately turned solemn. However, facing the giant's unwavering gaze, he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice:
"Your sudden appearance is undoubtedly due to being drawn here by the Heavenly Flames. Since we are all here for profit, I will relinquish everything on this boy, including the Heavenly Flames, as long as you allow me to witness Xiao Yan turn to ashes with my own eyes, I will leave immediately."
After all, they were both Yuan Zun. Although Bai Hansheng was Xiang Wuhui to Xiang Wuhui's, he was far from being able to be bossed around by others.
At this moment, Xiao Yan was truly overwhelmed by the immense pressure brought by the successive appearances of Yuan Zun experts, to the point that his mind was almost exhausted. The situation was already extremely tense, and who could have expected that another Yuan Zun Beast King would appear at the crucial moment? Coupled with the waves of weakness constantly emanating from his body, Xiao Yan was feeling dizzy and disoriented. If it weren't for his Spiritual Strength supporting him, he would probably have collapsed here already.
Given the current situation, if there is no way to change it, he can only throw out the Fire Lotus that he can still hold in his hand in his last moment before he falls. Even if it means death, he must make these guys pay a heavy price!
But the next moment, Xiang Wuhui's words caused Xiao Yan's heart to tremble slightly.
"Hmph, enough nonsense. I'm in a good mood today. Get lost. As for this guy, he can stay."
Xiang Wuhui scoffed, his figure flashing, appearing like a ghost in front of Xiao Yan in the next instant. The latter tightened his grip on the Fire Lotus's wrist, about to attack, when the giant said coldly again:
"Those who don't want to die had better stop!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan abruptly stopped in his tracks. He looked up at the towering giant standing before him like a small mountain, and quietly took a step back. A black shadow flashed behind him, and the Northern King appeared, secretly supporting Xiao Yan's body, allowing the latter to breathe a sigh of relief and calm himself down. He then swallowed a handful of pills in succession. After the medicinal effects spread through his body, his previously exhausted body temporarily regained some strength.
This action happened in the blink of an eye, so upon hearing Xiang Bai Hansheng's previously Xiang Wuhui expression turned completely gloomy, and he said:
"So, you mean you're going to protect him?"
Are you questioning me?
Xiang Wuhui twisted his body, his domineering gaze directly fixed on Bai Hansheng, while a powerful pressure emanated from his body, threatening the other party.
Sensing the other party's domineering attitude, Bai Hansheng's gloomy face couldn't help but reveal a hint of ferocity. As his anger surged, he no longer bothered with politeness and laughed angrily:
"Very well, you certainly have quite the audacity, appearing here to snatch someone from my grasp. Do you really think that just because your cultivation is superior, you can do whatever you want? Although my cultivation is inferior to yours, there are quite a few human Yuan Zun in this secret realm. I refuse to believe that they would remain indifferent to the Heavenly Flames!"
"You're asking for it!"
The moment Bai Hansheng finished speaking, Xiang Wuhui vanished into thin air. Immediately afterward, a deafening roar erupted, and a giant suddenly appeared where Bai Hansheng just stood. The terrifying force blasted the giant back a hundred feet, and the sound barrier surrounding his body began to tremble violently uncontrollably, emitting waves of distorted, invisible sound. The eerie Nether Sound echoed throughout the heavens and earth, and the strange sound waves sent a sharp pain through Xiang Wuhui's mind.
Bai Hansheng glanced at Xiang Wuhui was shaking his head and trying to concentrate, and let out a cold laugh. His chilling gaze then fell on Xiao Yan, and he said in an extremely cold voice:
"Heh, Xiao Yan, we'll meet again someday. I'll keep an eye on you until you die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, and Xiang Wuhui Bai Hansheng. His figure flashed out instantly, and after several more sonic booms, he completely disappeared from Xiao Yan's sight.
