The moment Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, an old man in a white robe slowly appeared before the group. The old man's cloudy eyes swept across everyone, then stopped on Xiao Yan, and a flash of killing intent flickered in his gaze.
Under that stare, Xiao Yan instantly felt the hair on his arms stand up, a sudden jolt running through his heart.
"I didn't expect the one leading this time to be the Pill Tower's Grand Elder, Song Qing's teacher …this is going to be troublesome."
Sensing the killing intent the old man held toward him, Xiao Yan could only feel helpless.
Over the past two days, he had explained the situation clearly, that Song Qing was killed by Old Mu Gu. But no matter how he explained, this Grand Elder of the Pill Tower still held deep, unmistakable killing intent toward him.
If not for Xiao Yan staying inside Holy Pill City these past days, giving the old man no chance to act, he probably would have already gathered a group of Dou Zun experts to gang up on him.
At that moment, the Pill Tower Grand Elder spoke faintly, "I am Qiu Ling, Grand Elder of the Pill Tower. This time, I will be leading you into the Star Region. Once you enter, you must follow my commands. Anyone who disobeys the rules will have their qualification to enter revoked by me."
Upon hearing this, an old man beside Xiao Yan wearing a peak seventh-tier alchemist robe immediately had his expression collapse.
Because he had failed too many times during the Pill Gathering, his final pill was slightly slower than Ye Xinlan's, and thus he originally did not have the qualification to enter the Star Region.
But yesterday, the Three Leaders of the Pill Tower approached him, asking him to enter the Star Region to protect Xiao Yan. After the task was done, they would guide him in his alchemy a few times.
After learning that Xiao Yan had a terrible relationship with the Three-Star Dou Zun expert Old Mu Gu, he originally didn't want to go anymore. After all, no matter how good alchemy guidance was, nothing was more important than staying alive.
But after Xiao Yan noticed his concern, he directly used a secret technique on the spot, forcefully raising his strength to the Dou Zun realm.
Seeing that, the old man reconsidered. With his own Two-Star Dou Zun strength, plus Xiao Yan who temporarily had Dou Zun-level power, dealing with Old Mu Gu, who was a Three-Star Dou Zun…
Even if they couldn't win, they should at least be able to come back alive. So, he straightforwardly agreed to the Pill Tower's Three Leaders.
But who would have expected that before they even entered the Star Region, he would see that the one leading the group was also Xiao Yan's mortal enemy, the Pill Tower's Grand Elder. However, Lin Feng and the others had no idea what was going through his mind.
After hearing Qiu Ling's words, they all simply nodded slightly.
"Boom!"
At that moment, the silver spatial gate in the distance, fluctuating heavily, finally stabilized completely under the control of the Pill Tower's Three Leaders.
"Let's go."
Seeing this, Qiu Ling waved his hand and was the first to step into the spatial gate, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Lin Feng and the ten others quickly followed. With intense spatial fluctuations, one figure after another vanished inside the silver gate. In just a moment, the eleven people completely disappeared into the sky under countless watching gazes.
When the last person entered, Xuan Kongzi's expression instantly grew solemn. He swept his gaze over the crowd below from above and said to Xuan Yi and Tian Leizi, "We need to stay extra alert today. Absolutely no mistakes."
"I've already arranged for many experts to be on standby. If anything happens, they can come help immediately," Tian Leizi replied after hearing him.
Tian Leizi finished, and Xuan Yi added, "There are also several experts who have good relations with the Pill Tower. I've already invited them to Holy Pill City. If needed, just let me know, and I can bring them to help."
Hearing that, Xuan Kongzi finally nodded in relief. Looking at the spatial gate, he sighed softly, "Let everything go smoothly. At the very least, we cannot let Lin Feng or Old Mu Gu walk away with the Heavenly Flame."
Unlike the original story, because Lin Feng served as a common enemy, the relationship between the Three Leaders of the Pill Tower and Xiao Yan was now much closer than in the original.
After all, the three of them had previously taken part in the attempt to assassinate Lin Feng. With Lin Feng's temperament, it was impossible for him to let the culprits off so easily. However, these three were not the type to sit and wait for death either.
Once they realized Lin Feng wanted their lives, they didn't even need to think about it. They immediately chose to kill Lin Feng first in order to protect themselves.
Ever since that day in the spatial wormhole, the assassination attempt, the situation between Lin Feng and the three of them had already reached the point where only one side could survive.
Somewhere within a pitch-black, empty void, the silence was suddenly broken by a ripple. A dozen figures slowly appeared within the darkness.
The instant they stepped out of the spatial passage, Lin Feng felt a scorching heat rush against his face. At the same time, the Heavenly Flame inside him suddenly turned violently restless.
This familiar reaction made Lin Feng's heart pound fiercely. Because only when another Heavenly Flame was nearby would his own behave like this.
"The Three Thousand Burning Flame… I must get it this time!"
Sensing the scorching presence coming from deep within the darkness ahead, Lin Feng clenched his fists, eyes firm with determination.
After breaking through to One-Star Dou Zun, he already understood just how difficult it was to raise his strength at this level. While he was excited, not far from him Xiao Yan was also clenching his fists tightly, his body trembling slightly with excitement.
Although Xiao Yan's current Dou Qi cultivation was much better than in the original story. Because of how badly Lin Feng had tormented him before, and due to various other factors, his sense of urgency was even greater than in the original.
So his craving for more strength was naturally far stronger as well. Then, suddenly recalling something, Xiao Yan quickly glanced at Old Mu Gu beside him. As expected, the old man's eyes were also filled with a burning heat.
Clearly, this man—whom Xiao Yan had already marked as his number-one target for revenge—also deeply desired the Three Thousand Burning Flame.
"Hmph, sooner or later, I'll capture you, repay the two assassination attempts, and then force you to reveal everything you know about the Flame Mantra."
Letting out a cold snort in his heart, Xiao Yan shifted his gaze to observe the space around them.
Because Xuan Kongzi and the others had explained everything about this place beforehand, Xiao Yan was actually the one among them who understood the Star Region the best.
The so-called Star Region was actually a small, artificially torn-open space created by Xuan Kongzi and the Pill Tower's Elders. Naturally, such a space could not compare to the small worlds created by Dou Sheng experts.
A glance around showed how barren it was.
Unlike a Dou Sheng's independent world, it had no sun, no moon, and no ground—nothing. Aside from keeping people from being shredded into minced meat by spatial storms, this place had almost nothing else.
