"Where is your Supreme Elder now?"
"To restrain all the Dou Sheng level experts in the Dan Tower."
"How many of you came to the Dan Tower in total?"
"More than fifty Dou Zun."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan also gasped. Just thinking about such a lineup of over fifty people was enough to make one's scalp tingle.
"Where's Haika?"
"My companion and I came to capture him, but he escaped," the Spirit Clan Battle Venerable recounted in detail.
"Why didn't you use your air-blocking ability during the battle just now?"
"Only a small number of people have mastered the airspace control; I don't."
Seeing this, Xiao Yan sneered. Sensing Xiao Yan's mockery, Ling Wu also chimed in, "The Void Restriction is very difficult to cultivate; it's not something an ordinary person can learn."
Xiao Yan ignored his weak explanation and continued to press, "Is there any way to counter the Void Restriction ability?"
"There is no other way but to interrupt and move further away."
"Then why are the Eldar able to move around within it?"
"The Spirit Race can rely on the power of their bloodline to offset the effects of the Void Restriction on them."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan finally understood why he was no longer afraid of the Void Restriction after the Black Flame entered his body. The Black Flame had previously absorbed the essence and blood of the Spirit Clan. He had already suspected this, but he wasn't sure and didn't dare to give the Spirit Clan's blood to Lei Jingxiao or anyone else without authorization.
He knew better than anyone why Cao Ying and Dan Chen were being controlled, so naturally he wouldn't do something so dangerous on his own initiative. In comparison, using the Black Flame was safer.
"I've told you everything I can, and there's no lie. Can you let me go?" Lingwu asked Xiao Yan cautiously.
"No." Xiao Yan's tone was cold and hard, without looking at Ling Wu's changing expression: "But I can make your death easier."
Immediately, Xiao Yan made a lightning-fast move, his soul power mimicking the form of the Hidden Shadow Needle, shooting out with a bang and piercing directly through the soul body, which was then burned to ashes by the Red Lotus Heart Flame.
Black Flame also rushed out from Xiao Yan's right hand, sweeping Ling Wu's corpse into the abyss. Even after learning the effects of the Spirit Clan's essence blood, Xiao Yan still did not stop Black Flame's actions.
The effects of this Dou Di blood are too strong. Although Xiao Yan dares not consume it directly now, the blood of the Spirit Clan may have unexpected effects in tonight's battle.
It didn't take long for the black flames to completely devour Lingwu, extracting a total of eight drops of dark golden blood. Now that Xiao Yan understood the importance of essence blood, he naturally couldn't let the black flames consume them all. With his support, the Red Lotus Heart Flame launched a fierce attack, clearly determined to obtain the essence blood without hesitation.
After all, after the incident of the Black Flame entering his body and being controlled by Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan had already figured out that the Black Flame was very afraid of his Burning Technique. As long as he relied on the deterrent power of the Burning Technique, he was not afraid of it acting recklessly.
As Xiao Yan had expected, after he forcefully devoured and extracted more than half of the essence blood from the Black Flame, it became extremely angry and tried to rush into Xiao Yan's body.
Xiao Yan's reaction was simple: he activated his Burning Flame Technique, revealing his aura. The black flames arrived swiftly and fled in a sorry state, so even with Xiao Yan's defenses relaxed, he dared not cross the line of his right arm.
However, Xiao Yan knew he couldn't push Black Flame too far, so he left three drops of his essence blood for it. After all, Black Flame's combat power was indeed considerable, and it still had great use in the current situation. Although Xiao Yan still couldn't confirm whether Black Flame had the ability to think, he really didn't want to push it too hard.
After cleaning up the area, Xiao Yan continued to conceal himself. The energy within the Pill Tower was extremely chaotic, with constant clashes between those above the Dou Zun level. Xiao Yan didn't want to concern himself with that; his primary goal was to find Xuan Yi immediately. He then led his group away from Saint Pill City. With a five-star Dou Sheng personally involved, the place was incredibly dangerous.
Xiao Yan continued upwards, and the only thing that made him feel fortunate was that each level of the Pill Tower had several passages when it was first built, and the Spirit Clan's forces were not yet able to seal off all of these passages. Xiao Yan actually found a way through these passages.
Xiao Yan didn't want to clash with these Spirit Clan Dou Zun experts yet, as they were opponents of equal strength. Aside from a deliberate ambush, it would be difficult for Xiao Yan to defeat them without making a sound.
As Xiao Yan continued forward, a powerful force emanated from the core of the Pill Tower. Xiao Yan sensed that it was a power very similar to the "Void Restriction" released by the Spirit Guards. The only difference was that the energy fluctuations of the two were not on the same level. This source, which he could sense even before seeing the specific scene, must be extremely powerful. Xiao Yan was basically certain that it was released by a Dou Sheng powerhouse of the Spirit Clan.
Xiao Yan also recalled the momentary delay that occurred after Ling Zhuo and his group arrived, which was most likely due to the intervention of a Dou Sheng expert from the Ling Clan.
As Xiao Yan continued forward, he eventually arrived at the core area of the Pill Tower, where the three giants of the Pill Tower usually resided. With his keen mid-stage Spirit Realm soul perception, Xiao Yan was able to detect an unusual aura emanating from within that hall.
His master's wife, Xuan Yi, was very likely there!
However, Xiao Yan is currently separated from that region by two people—two powerful Dou Zun from the Spirit Clan, both at the same level of six stars. They are simply not wearing the silver-black armor that signifies their Spirit Clan identity.
"Someone actually managed to get up here from below."
"Coming here at this hour, looks like they're quite loyal to Danta, I like it, hahaha."
The two of them were initially dissatisfied with having to guard the gate, but upon seeing Xiao Yan arrive and confirming that he was merely a three-star Dou Zun, they became interested.
"A swift and decisive victory!" Xiao Yan thought to himself.
The Crimson Lotus Heart Flame also surged from Xiao Yan's body, and Xiao Yan's aura continued to rise under these circumstances, eventually advancing from a three-star Dou Zun to a six-star Dou Zun with the help of the stimulation of the three different flames.
The two members of the Spirit Clan were somewhat surprised. They had naturally seen the secret technique before, but Xiao Yan's secret technique, which allowed him to advance three stars even at the Dou Zun level, still surprised them.
The next instant, Xiao Yan left his own area and appeared in front of one of the Spirit Clan members as if by teleportation.
A beam of light descended almost instantly upon the Spirit Clan Battle Venerable on the left, who reacted instantly and struck out with a palm.
