At this point, Xiao Yan no longer recognized the area the Azure Feather Three-Tailed Sparrow had arrived at. However, with Yan Di sitting comfortably on the sparrow's head, Xiao Yan had nothing to worry about. All Xiao Yan needed to do now was to obediently follow Yan Di.
Seeing Xiao Yan come out, Yan Di didn't say anything extra. After all, he had been enjoying drinking with Xiao Yan recently.
Just as Xiao Yan had been waiting for two hours and was about to return to his room to continue his cultivation, the speed of the Azure Feather Three-Tailed Sparrow, which had been speeding along, began to gradually slow down, and it stopped in mid-air in no time.
Looking at the scenery, Xiao Yan realized that it was just an ordinary mountain range, with the previous city still far away. This place really didn't look like the location of the mysterious Yan Clan.
Xiao Yan would never believe that a super power with a Dou Sheng in charge was hidden here.
Yan Di closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then stood up from the Azure Feather Three-Tailed Sparrow and took out an ancient jade pendant from his storage ring. Yan Di crushed it, and the jade pendant turned into a wisp of azure energy, slowly outlining a strange symbol in the air.
Immediately following, a strange tearing sound rang out, and a black dot in mid-air began to expand at a visible speed. Upon closer inspection, Xiao Yan saw that it was a black void, like a black hole, emitting an unusual suction force. Looking into the distance, all he could see was endless darkness and a chilling, eerie howling sound.
Xiao Yan sensed a massive spatial power from the black hole; such a level of spatial power could only belong to a Dou Zun powerhouse.
In less than half an incense stick's time, the black hole had expanded to a size large enough to accommodate the Azure Feather Three-Tailed Bird.
Under Yan Di's command, the Azure Feather Three-Tailed Sparrow plunged directly into the black hole. Xiao Yan's heart skipped a beat at the sight, his vision suddenly went black, and he felt a sudden weightlessness. However, this feeling quickly dissipated after a moment, and then a strange passage appeared in his sight.
What appeared before Xiao Yan was a spatial passage with no end in sight. On both sides of the passage were faint silver spatial barriers, and within the spatial barriers was a passage about several tens of feet long. At the end of the passage was a deep darkness, and the surrounding area was also a kind of darkness that made people feel uneasy. Faintly, dense spatial fluctuations permeated from it. The entire passage was extremely silent, without the slightest sound.
Upon first encountering such a spatial passage, even Xiao Yan, with his composure, couldn't help but be somewhat stunned. His gaze slowly drifted towards the barriers formed by spatial power on both sides of the passage. Beyond those barriers lay endless darkness, and no one knew what kind of scene lay there.
Xiao Yan sensed the uniqueness of this passage and guessed that Yan Di's claim that it would take more than ten days to reach the Yan Clan was due to this passage. However, Xiao Yan dared not ask too many questions and expose himself, and even if he asked Yan Di, he might not actually tell him.
Yan Di stepped on the Azure Feather Three-Tailed Sparrow, and the azure wind-attribute battle qi propelled the sparrow rapidly into the passage. This speed could be described as chasing stars and catching the moon. Xiao Yan, standing on the Azure Feather Three-Tailed Sparrow, even felt a slight dizziness.
However, Xiao Yan's soul power was astonishing, and he adapted to the state in no time.
Xiao Yan was initially surprised, but after looking around for a while, he found that the passage was extremely boring, with only similar passages and endless dark void around them.
Although Xiao Yan is someone who can endure loneliness, this scene is still a bit too boring. Yan Di stands in front of the Azure Feather Three-Tailed Sparrow, in charge of controlling this trip, but he doesn't want Xiao Yan's help. So Xiao Yan simply returns to his room to continue cultivating.
Back in his room, Xiao Yan checked on Zi Yan, who was fast asleep on the bed. Lately, due to the effects of the medicinal wine, Zi Yan had spent most of her time digesting its immense energy and resting.
Looking at Zi Yan, who was sleeping in a crooked position on the bed, Xiao Yan smiled and returned to his own room.
After entering the space, Xiao Yan sensed that the Dou Qi in this area was somewhat unstable, so he gave up the idea of continuing to cultivate. After all, the Dou Qi in his body had been compressed to its limit. If he continued to cultivate, he might directly advance to the level of a nine-star Dou Huang. Although Xiao Yan believed that this was a natural outcome for him, he still wanted to be cautious.
Xiao Yan simply sat cross-legged in his room and began to sort out the situation after entering the Yan Clan.
Back in the Jia Ma Empire, Xiao Yan already knew that Gu He's strange fire had been forcibly taken away by a mysterious powerhouse. Xiao Yan naturally knew that the mysterious powerhouse must be Yan Di.
More importantly, he possessed two extraordinary flames: the Red Lotus Karmic Flame and the Sea Heart Flame.
Xiao Yan was most grateful that he hadn't yet absorbed the Sea Heart Flame for various reasons. The Sea Heart Flame was still stored in his storage ring after being reinforced by Yao Lao. Xiao Yan dared not imagine how Yan Di would treat him after absorbing two different flames. The secret of the Burning Flame Technique would be directly exposed; it was his greatest trump card.
Considering Gu He's situation, Xiao Yan knew that his two different flames would most likely be targeted by the Yan Clan as well. At this moment, Xiao Yan could only pray in his heart that the Gu Clan's reputation was strong enough to protect him.
To ensure his safety, Xiao Yan never used the devouring ability of the Void Devouring Flame in his Dou Sheng arm again after learning Yan Di's identity, for fear of being discovered by Yan Di. Xiao Yan understood all too well the principle that "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."
It can only be said that Xiao Yan has a lot to hide after going to the Yan Clan. In addition, Xiao Yi Xian's Calamity Poison Body has erupted and she doesn't have much time left. Xiao Yan also needs to try his best to get the Yan Clan to treat Xiao Yi Xian.
Xiao Yan pressed his forehead with his hand, constantly reviewing his own actions, not wanting to make a mistake within the Yan Clan due to his carelessness.
"It feels terrible to be manipulated by others when you have no power!" Xiao Yan thought to himself.
As Xiao Yan pondered, time flew by.
Three days later, Xiao Yan sensed that the Azure Feather Three-Tailed Sparrow, which had been speeding through the passage, had stopped.
