The back hill of the Jia Nan Academy.
Several days have passed since Xiao Yan's battle with the Inner Academy.
Even though several days had passed, the news of that great battle was still spreading like wildfire in the Inner Academy.
Xiao Yan's brilliant feat of defeating five opponents single-handedly thrilled everyone in the Inner Academy, who continuously recounted the spectacular scene.
This caused great regret among the Inner Academy disciples who were unable to attend the event due to various commitments.
And it was precisely because of this battle that Xiao Yan and Little Huohuo, or rather Little Huohuo's fame, exploded in the Inner Academy.
After all, to outsiders, Xiao Yan is merely an avatar that Xiao Huohuo has created.
However, Xiao Huohuo's clone possessed the strength to withstand an attack from five powerful individuals.
Moreover, the vivid combat experience amazed everyone.
Great Elder Su Qian noticed something unusual about Xiao Yan's so-called clone.
However, Chu Yi trusted Xiao Huohuo and never questioned the matter.
Therefore, Xiao Yan is still staying in the Inner Academy.
However, he was unfamiliar with the Inner Academy and had no plans to go out.
In the past few days, he has calmed down and, with the help of the medicinal herbs accumulated in the Pan Gate, has once again improved his alchemy skills.
On the one hand, he helped Pan Meng complete the ammunition refining; on the other hand, his own medicine-making skills were honed to a certain extent.
Xiao Huohuo spoke with him several times along the way, and Yao Lao also gave him some pointers.
However, the Yao Lao had already placed part of his inheritance in that ring and given it to him.
Therefore, Xiao Huohuo only needs to practice step by step now.
All he needs is time to become proficient.
After several days of quiet contemplation, coupled with the good recovery of his internal injuries, he was able to focus on his health.
Xiao Yan's Soul Power was surging, and it would probably be able to break through another level soon.
Although life in the Inner Academy was cozy, it offered limited opportunities for Xiao Yan to improve his strength.
He also needs to find Zhu Zhuqing quickly, so such a peaceful life is not suitable for Xiao Yan.
However, just as Xiao Yan was about to reveal the truth to Xiao Huohuo, that he was preparing to return to Douluo.
But Xiao Huohuo found them beforehand.
"Are you planning to return to the Jia Ma Empire?"
Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Huohuo, who had a serious expression on his face, with some surprise, and asked.
"That's right."
Xiao Huohuo nodded.
Xiao Huohuo now knows about the changes that befell the Xiao Clan back then, all from Xun'er.
That was most likely the work of the Hun Clan.
Moreover, the Ancient Jade on his person also Ancient Jade that his father had not been harmed by the Hun Clan.
However, when he went out to gain experience, the affairs of the Xiao Clan were basically supported by the three elders.
Even with the help of the Nalan Family, Xiao Huohuo was still worried.
Now that he has completed his cultivation, his strength has reached the Peak Dou Wang, so he plans to return to the Jia Ma Empire to properly settle the Xiao Clan.
After this trip, Xiao Huohuo planned to go to Central Plains.
After all, that's where the core of the Dou Qi Continent truly lies.
Moreover, he guessed that the Hun Clan, who had attacked the Xiao Clan, was probably hiding within the Central Plains.
Once the itinerary was finalized, the two didn't hesitate for long.
Xiao Huohuo began to bid farewell to Elder Su Qian of the Inner Academy, but Lin Yan, Lin Xiuya, and others also heard about it.
Lin Yan and the others had already reached the graduation standards of the Jia Nan Academy.
The reason I didn't leave for the past two years was because of the conflict between the Inner Academy and the Black-Corner Region.
Now that they had heard about Xiao Huohuo's plans, everyone made some arrangements.
After Xiao Huohuo returned from the Jia Ma Empire, they set off together from the Jia Nan Academy to Central Plains.
After everyone made their agreement, Xiao Huohuo and Xiao Yan didn't linger and left the Inner Academy directly.
Now, after Han Feng's death, the Black-Corner Region has completely fallen into disarray.
Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo bid farewell and returned to the Jia Ma Empire.
Great Elder Su Qian and the others also planned to take this opportunity to properly integrate the Black-Corner Region.
Without Han Feng and the Gold and Silver Elders, the Black-Corner Region is now a disorganized mess.
Faced with the Jia Nan Academy, almost no force dared to oppose it anymore.
After leaving Jia Nan Academy, Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo traveled without any delay.
With Dou Qi Wings appearing behind them, the two swiftly swept through the air, hurtling towards the direction of the Jia Ma Empire.
As for Medusa, she lagged far behind Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo.
Although it seemed like a deliberate attempt to distance himself, Xiao Yan could keenly sense the special feelings the other party had for Xiao Huohuo.
However, facing this genuine Dou Zong, Xiao Yan dared not disturb him casually.
As they traveled, the Yao Lao would occasionally offer them pointers.
The two were instructed to conceal their auras during flight and to circulate their battle Dou Qi and Soul Power according to specific pathways.
As they gradually explored, the two also discovered that the Dou Qi and Soul Power they consumed while flying had decreased by about 30%.
Although there wasn't much improvement in speed, it undoubtedly took their control over Soul Power and Dou Qi to a new level.
After traveling and stopping frequently, ten days after leaving Jia Nan Academy, Xiao Yan felt that his Soul Power had reached a bottleneck.
They found a secluded hilltop and finally broke through again.
After the breakthrough, the borders of the Jia Ma Empire were within sight.
"Finally back..."
As the two entered the territory of the Jia Ma Empire, Xiao Huohuo looked at the familiar border of the empire ahead, a hint of nostalgia appearing in his eyes.
Because of the changes in the Xiao Clan, he resolutely left Wutan City and embarked on the path of cultivation.
By now, he has become a true Peak Dou Wang.
"I wonder how the Xiao Clan is doing now?"
Xiao Huohuo Dou Qi Wings fluttered slightly, and he floated in mid-air, looking at the scenery in front of him and letting out a sigh.
Before Xiao Yan could speak, Medusa's figure blurred in the distance and reappeared beside them.
Before Medusa could speak, the voice of the Yao Lao rang in their minds.
"Quick, hide!!"
The Yao Lao's tone carried a rare hint of panic.
Before Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo could even think, Medusa snorted coldly from the side.
"Snort!"
With a cold snort, he then stretched out his hands and placed them on Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo's shoulders.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yan felt a fierce whooshing sound next to his ears.
The next second, he and Xiao Huohuo were already hidden behind a city wall by Medusa.
The three had just concealed themselves when Xiao Yan suddenly sensed an extremely cold aura not far away.
"Huh?"
Then, under Xiao Huohuo's gaze, an extremely dense black mist suddenly appeared in the distance.
Upon seeing the black mist, Xiao Yan's pupils suddenly contracted.
This was almost identical to the way the Soul Hall Protector who helped Han Feng make his appearance at the Jia Nan Academy.
"People from the Hall of Souls?"
Xiao Yan spoke with some surprise.
