The Heavenly Flames slowly approached, radiating a warm and pleasant heat, and after nearly an hour of continuous envelopment, it continued to burn.
The Fire Lotus was finally completely enveloped by the Heavenly Flames, and even Heavenly Flames into it, transforming into a colorful lotus.
Under the watchful gaze of Xiao Yan's Soul Power, the Fire Lotus had now become a part of his Heavenly Flames.
The previously raging Fire Lotus had long since vanished, leaving behind only a work of art formed from Heavenly Flames, a sight to behold.
Xiao Yan's lips curled up into a contented smile.
With a thought, the Fire Lotus that had merged with the Heavenly Flames trembled slightly before exploding into countless tiny flames with a loud bang.
The Heavenly Flames spread out, forming three large nets, dividing the points of light into three parts, which were then refined separately.
Gu You remained silent, quietly observing Xiao Yan's every move.
Xiao Yan changed the hand seals, and one of the three nets transformed into a raging fire, carrying the power to Fen Tian and boil the sea, and began to refine it.
Although the Fire Lotus has been dispersed, some of its original power remains.
Therefore, it was constantly struggling within the Heavenly Flames, which caused the Fire Lotus fragments in the other two nets to also begin to struggle, causing Xiao Yan considerable trouble.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan frowned, and the hand seals in his hands changed again. The already powerful Heavenly Flames expanded once more, completely enveloping the Fire Lotus fragments.
The other two parts were also refined separately, giving them no chance to struggle or thrash.
Xiao Yan poured all his Soul Power into it, completely suppressing the Fire Lotus fragments among the three Heavenly Flames.
Although there was still some tremor, it was no longer able to cause any major disturbances.
Xiao Yan's refining process is underway, awaiting only the final, complete refinement.
At this moment, looking at Qingyang City again, a group of uninvited guests had arrived.
At this moment in Qingyang City, eight figures standing abruptly amidst the black mist stood in the sky.
The appearance of the eight figures immediately alarmed everyone in Qingyang City.
Liu Huabai, the head of the Liu Clan, and Elder Liu Xincheng also walked out of the family's council hall, looked up at the sky, and gazed at the eight figures in the distance.
Liu Huabai frowned slightly and was about to step forward when he was stopped by the Grand Elder.
Liu Xincheng shook his head slightly and whispered to Liu Huabai:
"Master, these people are of unknown identity, and judging from their attire alone, they are definitely not good people. It would be best not to go."
At this point, Liu Xincheng paused slightly, then lowered his voice and continued:
"Besides, these guys might actually be looking for Senior Xiao Yan, so it's best not to alert them."
Upon hearing this, Liu Huabai's pupils contracted slightly. He looked up again at the eight figures in the sky, nodded, and retreated.
Just as he stepped back, his expression changed, and he turned to look back, but was stopped by a voice.
"Don't move, whatever you do, don't make any movement, otherwise, if those guys make a move, it won't be a joke."
Upon hearing this, both Liu Huabai and Liu Xincheng were shocked, their expressions immediately replaced by astonishment.
Because, judging from the sound, the owner of the voice was right behind them.
They might even bump into each other if they just make the slightest movement.
They had never noticed such close proximity before, which made them both a little nervous.
The man seemed to have noticed this as well, and gave a soft hum, saying in a low voice:
"You're with me every day, and you don't seem to be that afraid of me. But now that I've shown myself, you're all so terrified. I really don't know how you live."
Upon hearing this, the two frowned, then seemed to remember something, exchanged a glance, and Liu Huabai asked in a low voice:
"Senior, do you know these people?"
The man sighed softly, frowned as he looked at the eight black figures in the sky, and said in a low voice:
"As things stand now, I don't know them, but I think I will in the future. These people are indeed quite troublesome. Neither he nor I fully understand the reason behind this."
"So, for now, we can only avoid them. However, it's only a matter of time before we confront them."
Liu Huabai and Liu Xincheng nodded, puzzled, but did not press further and continued watching.
Above the horizon, a figure shrouded in black mist was bowing and reporting something to someone standing at the forefront of the group.
" Third Hall Master, there is indeed Xiao Yan's aura here, but because Xiao Yan has intentionally erased it, it is difficult to determine his exact location. This subordinate can only conclude that Xiao Yan has already left Qingyang City."
The man known as the Third Hall Master let out a cold snort upon hearing this, and slowly uttered a sentence in a hoarse voice:
"Hmph! Useless trash! Since there's nothing there, why have you been searching here for so long? If Xiao Yan escapes, I will kill you!"
The person who spoke just now was none other than the Old Ghost Yan Mo.
At this moment, the Old Ghost Yan Mo was extremely respectful, not daring to relax in the slightest, but from his respectful eyes, one could faintly see the deep-seated resentment and venom he harbored.
The Third Hall Master glanced at Qingyang City below, his brows furrowing slightly, but he did nothing.
He glared at the Old Ghost Yan Mo who stood motionless to the side, let out a cold snort, waved his sleeve, and turned to fly out of the city.
Just before leaving, he uttered another sentence:
"What are you standing there for! Which way did he go?! Lead the way right now, or I'll smash you to death with one blow!"
Upon hearing this Old Ghost Yan Mo of flames trembled with anger. He glared at the Third Hall Master who had turned and walked away, responded, and quickly flew ahead to lead the way.
After the people in the sky left, the people in the city finally caught their breath and began to speculate about their purpose. Some, fearing trouble, hurriedly left.
Liu Mansion
Liu Huabai and Liu Xincheng turned around, and what came into view was a young man dressed in snow-white clothes, holding a Buddha Jade Fan in his hand. With each opening and closing, it emitted a fragrant aroma that was refreshing and pleasant.
Upon seeing this, Liu Huabai and Liu Xincheng dared not be negligent in the slightest and quickly bowed and greeted them:
"This junior greets the senior."
The young man unfolded his jade fan, gently fanned himself, and helped the two up. Then he spoke with a smile:
"Hehe, no need for formalities. I don't care about such formalities. You two don't need to be so reserved, just relax."
Upon hearing this, the two quickly waved their hands in refusal, but under the other party's insistence, they slowly relaxed, though it was still clear that they were not as relaxed as they appeared.
"I wonder if you have come out today to give me a task?"
As the atmosphere relaxed, Liu Huabai mustered the courage to ask a question she shouldn't have asked.
Upon hearing this, the man smiled and shook his head, saying:
"No, it's just because of those few inhuman and ghostly creatures. Otherwise, I'd rather return to my original form."
Before the two could react, the man continued:
"Also, please stop calling me 'senior' and such from now on. It makes me sound so old. I have a name, Bai Hua. Just call me by my name. If that's not possible, you can call me Brother Bai. There's no need to call me 'senior'."
Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance, their faces showing helplessness. They then nodded at Bai Hua and said no more.
