In the vast desert, it was pitch black at this moment. With the naked eye, it was difficult to see even within a range of ten meters. However, in the face of the immense Spiritual Strength, all the darkness was meaningless to me.
" Ghost Hall!"
At this moment, Xiao Yan's face was gloomy, and his eyes were gradually filled with a chilling white Heavenly Flames, his cold killing intent making no attempt to conceal it.
"You guys are really persistent!"
With a clenched fist, the heavy Heavy Xuan Ruler fell into his hand, and eerie white smoke swirled around it, instantly illuminating the entire world as if it were daytime.
The temperature between heaven and earth rose rapidly, and the yellow sand below was melting at an alarming rate, as if it were ice.
Illuminated by the firelight, in the void not far from Xiao Yan's side, a dark shadow was rising eerily like a will-o'-the-wisp. If one did not know it well, an ordinary person would probably not recognize what it was.
"Hehehehe... Xiao Yan, I'm not here today to take you back."
If he had had such thoughts before, after witnessing the tragic end of the magical beast, he dared not act rashly.
Xiao Yan's combat strength far surpasses that of others of the same level. This is something that everyone in the Ghost Hall knows and must understand. Although the two of them are both Dou Di experts at this moment, and even the guy in the shadowy figure is clearly stronger than Xiao Yan, he will not easily make a move without absolute certainty.
Rather than engaging in fruitless and futile maneuvering, he prefers to render his opponent powerless, to completely crush them, and to leave them in despair. This gives him immense satisfaction.
"Take me back? Do you think you can do it?"
Hearing the strange laughter coming from the black mist, Xiao Yan's face showed a look of disgust, but he sneered disdainfully.
With his current speed and agility, even Eight-Star Dou Di wouldn't be able to catch up with him, let alone this guy whose strength is only at the Mid Seven-Star Dou Di.
"Hehehe... Yes, yes, it would be difficult for me to do it alone. However, the main reason I came to see you today is that I have something to show you."
A strange laugh echoed again from within the black mist. The laugh sounded as if it came from the netherworld, extremely grating. However, it was not hard to tell from the voice that this guy seemed to have come prepared.
Upon hearing the words from the other party, Xiao Yan felt a sudden tightness in his heart, and an ominous premonition welled up from the bottom of his heart, and it was unstoppable.
What happened?
Xiao Yan was secretly alarmed. He rarely experienced this situation; he couldn't even remember the last time it happened. But this time, his mind was no longer at peace, as if the person in front of him was bringing some earth-shattering news.
What are you trying to say?
Xiao Yan's eyes were narrowed, his fiery gaze fixed intently on the person opposite him. His body beneath the black robe trembled slightly uncontrollably, and beads of sweat trickled down his forehead. Even Xiao Yan himself didn't know why he was so nervous.
"Hehehehe... Here, take a good look."
A strange laugh echoed from within the black mist once more. Almost simultaneously, a fist-sized cloud of black mist shot out from it, like a black streak of light. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Xiao Yan, its target aimed directly at Xiao Yan throat, as if it intended to kill him instantly.
"Puff!"
Just as the black mist reached Xiao Yan, a sudden burst of pale white flame rose up before Xiao Yan, engulfing the black mist in one gulp.
Immediately, through the eerie white flames, Xiao Yan clearly saw a translucent white jade tablet slowly floating within the flames. If Xiao Yan hadn't been deliberately holding it, the jade tablet would probably have already turned into a pile of ashes.
Upon seeing the jade pendant, Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his nervousness became almost uncontrollable. After a long while, Xiao Yan hesitated before finally grasping the jade pendant in his hand.
"Hehehe... What, you're hesitating? The mighty Flame Emperor, are you afraid to see what's inside?"
A strange laugh echoed from within the black mist once more, the voice carrying a mocking tone. Although Xiao Yan hesitated, he still intended to investigate. However, before doing so, Xiao Yan first summoned the Northern King.
Upon seeing the Northern King, even the creature shrouded in black mist couldn't help but feel a surge of surprise. He had seen puppets at the Dou Di level before, but he had never seen a puppet as bizarre as the Northern King before.
On the other side, Xiao Yan also carefully separated a wisp of his Spiritual Strength and slowly approached the jade tablet.
Before knowing what was hidden within the jade tablet, Xiao Yan had to consider the person in front of him before making any move. As Seven-Star Dou Di, the other party's strength was not to be underestimated. If Xiao Yan were to be seriously injured by him, it would be troublesome.
"Buzzing..."
As Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength slowly approached the jade tablet, the tension in his heart grew stronger. The Spiritual Strength in his mind spread outward uncontrollably, like a churning sea, violently fluctuating and causing the surrounding void to ripple violently.
At a certain moment, the Spiritual Strength finally touched the jade tablet. The jade tablet seemed to contain a suction force, instantly swallowing Xiao Yan's wisp of Spiritual Strength. The latter was startled, and then, Xiao Yan's consciousness entered the jade tablet.
The next instant, just as Xiao Yan looked up, what appeared within the jade tablet space was a huge cage.
The cage was formed by an array, with streaks of black light intertwining and sealing off a space. Within that space, at this very moment, a beautiful woman with unparalleled beauty was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed.
A look of exhaustion appeared on her pale face, and there was a trace of blood on the corner of her red lips. Her whole body was surrounded by wounds of all sizes. It was clear that this woman had struggled violently in this cage not long ago, and the injuries on her body must have been inflicted at that time.
However, the moment Xiao Yan, outside the cage, saw this woman for the first time, the expression on his face suddenly froze. In an instant, an almost uncontrollable surge of excitement welled up from the depths of Xiao Yan's heart.
The woman standing before Xiao Yan at this moment was none other than his wife, whom he had longed for day and night...
" Xun'er!"
