333. Shocked back the Heavenly Phoenix
The fiery palm print in the sky was fierce and seemed unstoppable, but the Black Flame Holy Phoenix statue also emitted a dark, eerie light, which slowed down the palm print.
"Dragon's might, suppress!"
The Crimson Flame Dragon's eyes lit up with a furious roar, which suddenly resounded from the light seal, shattering the stable space. Meanwhile, the Black Flame Holy Phoenix statue cracked open with a series of fissures. The giant Heavenly Demon Phoenix, transformed from the Eagle Phoenix, flapped its wings, unleashing a surge of black, eerie light that rushed towards the light seal.
The two collided with a deafening roar. The fiery dragon on the light seal, as if possessing a spirit, also entangled itself with the Eagle Phoenix's body. The Eagle Phoenix let out a deafening cry of pain due to the energy of the light seal and the entanglement with the crimson dragon. The terrifying force brought by the light seal directly sent the eight members of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan besides the Eagle Phoenix flying backward. Among them, three Dou Zun with weaker strength had their bodies shattered by the terrifying force, leaving only their souls trembling in the terrible power.
The eagle-phoenix, its body charred black, spread its wings, protecting all its Heavenly Demon Phoenix subordinates as it tore through space and fled in a sorry state. The eagle-phoenix's escape was incredibly swift, showing no intention of lingering. The person who had attacked was far too powerful; it knew it was no match for them, and staying any longer would have cost it its life.
The members of the Tianluan Clan and the Starfall Pavilion were both relieved to have survived the calamity and filled with doubt: why had so many powerful figures appeared one after another today, especially those who had come to their aid? The Tianluan Clan had heard of the ancient clans, but why would such a powerful, reclusive force be here today? Even the Tianluan Clan had no real connection with the ancient clans.
The young lady the two old men mentioned seemed to be right below the Starfall Pavilion, with Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor. Meanwhile, the expressions of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan members were also grim. Now that things had calmed down, they roughly guessed what had happened. They had only arrived at the Starfall Pavilion from their clan during the day, and then the Heavenly Demon Phoenix launched a sneak attack that night—someone had definitely betrayed their whereabouts!
Chen Wei's eyes held a mixture of pain and regret. He had naturally sensed the damage Xiao Yan had done to the formation and knew that Tang Qiying was definitely involved in today's events. As his teacher, he had long known of Tang Qiying's extreme and sensitive personality, but Tang Qiying's talent had also surprised him. He had weighed this double-edged sword for a long time and was unwilling to give it up, so he had always tried to persuade his only disciple. However, judging from today's events, his actions were problematic. Not only had he failed to cultivate another peerless formation genius for the Tianluan Clan, but he had also made the mistake of raising a tiger that would eventually threaten his own future.
Before anyone could exchange pleasantries, the white-haired elder bowed to the figure in the sky and said, "You must be Elder Yan Yi of the Yan Clan? Thank you very much for today!"
Then the fiery figure revealed its true form: an old man with a weathered face appeared before the group. The old man had a burning flame mark on his forehead, and most peculiarly, his hair appeared to be on fire. Beside him stood a young man in white robes, elegant and with a faint smile on his lips.
The white-haired old man was also surprised to see the young man: "Young Master Huo Xuan is here too?"
Yan Yi glanced around, then asked the white-haired old man, "What are you two old folks doing here with your young lady? Why are you getting entangled with these scruffy birds?"
The white-haired old man said helplessly, "Since Miss is coming, we servants have no choice but to follow. What matter has troubled you two this time?"
While the relationship between the Ancient Clan and the Flame Clan isn't exactly amicable, both are top-tier, reclusive forces on the continent. Huo Xuan is the undisputed number one among the younger generation within the Flame Clan, having inherited the clan's inherited exotic flame, the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame, ranked sixth on the exotic flame list at a young age! Yan Yi, on the other hand, is a renowned Saint-level expert within the Flame Clan, having remained inactive for many years. His sudden appearance on the continent is undoubtedly a major development!
Huo Xuan shook his head and gave a wry smile: "My cousin has been gone for over two years. Not only has she not returned to the clan, but we've also completely lost contact with her. We only ran into her by chance while we were out looking for her. The ancient clan is well-informed; I wonder if they have any news of my cousin?"
The two elders of the ancient clan naturally knew that the only person Huo Xuan would call "clan sister" and personally search for was Huo Zhi, a rising star among the younger generation who had also inherited the Flame Clan's legacy! They had long heard that the Flame Clan had been searching for someone, but the identity of that person had always been vague. They hadn't expected it to be Huo Zhi. The two elders exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised. Huo Xuan was also somewhat helpless. They really didn't want to expose the disappearance of their clan's young genius, fearing that it would be used by those with ulterior motives. However, for more than two years, there had been no news of Huo Zhi or Yan Di, who was responsible for protecting them. During this time, the Flame Clan had indeed become anxious. And it was at this time that they heard that a miraculous young man had appeared at the Four Directions Pavilion Tournament, who actually possessed the same Fire Lotus Karmic Flame as Huo Zhi.
Huo Zhi insisted on leaving the clan because she sensed the existence of the second Crimson Lotus Karmic Flame, which unexpectedly appeared in Zhongzhou. The Yan Clan reacted immediately, sending Yan Yi and Huo Xuan to the scene. They encountered the situation just now, and Yan Yi, for the sake of the Hidden World Continent's reputation and also to do a favor for the Ancient Clan's young lady, directly attacked and repelled the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.
The white-haired old man truthfully replied, "We haven't heard anything about Miss Hime along the way."
Huo Xuan didn't really hope to get anything from the two of them. He simply glanced at Xiao Yan's location. As a fellow holder of a different kind of fire, he had already sensed that Xiao Yan was the master of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire. However, Xiao Yan's Red Lotus Karmic Fire was clearly not the one Huo Zhi possessed, which relieved Huo Xuan. At least Xiao Yan hadn't killed someone to obtain the fire.
At this moment, Xun'er also ascended directly into the sky, and Huo Xuan's originally calm eyes showed a hint of brilliance: "Miss Xun'er, how have you been?"
Xun'er immediately became the absolute core upon her appearance, and politely said to Huo Xuan, "Thank you very much for the help from the Yan Clan today."
Huo Xuan smiled indifferently, indicating that he didn't care at all, but he also keenly noticed the aloofness beneath Xun'er's politeness.
The white-haired elder of the ancient clan whispered a few words to Xun'er, after which Xun'er said to Huo Xuan, "The information you are looking for is not here. Brother Xiao Yan obtained the Red Lotus Karmic Flame six years ago."
Huo Xuan's expression was also somewhat complicated. Huo Yi, who was behind Huo Xuan, said, "No matter what, we still have to take this person with us."
