Sect Assembly

Water splashed as the Nethersea Flood Dragon suddenly softened, as if all its strength had been stripped away, its entire body collapsing vertically to the ground.

!!!! Although it quickly regained its strength and stood up abruptly, the brief feeling of powerlessness caused a storm in its heart. Its huge beast eyes were filled with shock and horror. With its strength, it could naturally see that Zi Yan was only at the Dou Wang (Fighting King) level, or rather, just a Fifth-Order Magical Beast. However, the previous pressure had indeed come from the latter's body.

That was suppression from bloodline, a kind of fear latent within the body. For the Nethersea Flood Dragon, it had a bloodline suppression effect, a kind of pressure like that of a superior over a subordinate.

"This little girl is a Magical Beast?! Able to make me feel pressure and fear, what is her true form? Could it be a bloodline inherited from ancient times? A True Dragon?" The Nethersea Flood Dragon stared dumbfounded at Zi Yan in front of it. Although it wouldn't necessarily grovel before Zi Yan now, it no longer had the fierce aura it had before.

The Nethersea Flood Dragon now wished it could stay far away from this fellow.

The Nethersea Flood Dragon's sudden softening naturally shocked Yao Ye and Jia Xing Tian. They looked at the purple-haired little girl beside Xiao Yan with horrified eyes.

They felt it was somewhat unbelievable. This Nethersea Flood Dragon could be considered a Magical Beast with a rather rare and powerful bloodline, otherwise it would be difficult to reach the Sixth Order. But now, it had such a reaction just from being stared at by Zi Yan! Seeing the Nethersea Flood Dragon submit, Zi Yan puffed out her delicate nose and made a face at Xiao Yan, humming triumphantly.

Xiao Yan smiled and rubbed Zi Yan's little head. It was obvious that Zi Yan already knew she had at least some connection to the Dragon Race.

In fact, it was when Xiao Yan asked Zi Yan to teach him Dragon Language that Zi Yan realized that the language was the language of the Dragon Race. So, she knew that her true form must be related to the Dragon Race.

And now it was even more certain that her bloodline was definitely higher than that of the Nethersea Flood Dragon, a Flood Dragon with an impure bloodline.

"It seems I need to get a Transformation Pill for Zi Yan as soon as possible," Xiao Yan thought to himself.

"Alright, let's not waste any more time." Breaking the atmosphere, Xiao Yan smiled at Jia Xing Tian, waved his hand, and the Primal Bone Forming Pill floated to him. Then, he glanced at the Nethersea Flood Dragon and said, "Are you ready? It might be a little painful when it starts."

"Thank you, Alchemist Xiao Yan." After the previous scene with Zi Yan, even with the Nethersea Flood Dragon's violent nature, it didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore.

Xiao Yan smiled, and with a thought, a wisp of blood-red flame enveloped the Primal Bone Forming Pill. With a flick of his finger, the flame shot towards the top of the Nethersea Flood Dragon's head, still enveloping the pill.

The pill was wrapped in flames, and after a moment, Xiao Yan's hand seals changed, and the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame suddenly expanded. Under the scorching temperature, a rich blood-colored halo suddenly poured out from within, and finally, like a curtain of water, enveloped the Nethersea Flood Dragon's huge body below.

As the strange light enveloped it, the Nethersea Flood Dragon's body suddenly twisted. It looked like it was in pain, and low roars continued to sound, stirring up waves on the lake.

Jia Xing Tian and Yao Ye on the side were secretly nervous. After all, this Nethersea Flood Dragon was not only the guardian beast of their royal family, but also their family and comrade.

Of course, their worries were definitely unnecessary. With the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame, there was no possibility of Xiao Yan failing.

Soon, the pervasive medicinal fragrance slowly dissipated, and Xiao Yan also withdrew the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame.

Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! An earth-shattering aura suddenly erupted from the Nethersea Flood Dragon's body, and the lake water surged.

"Not bad, this aura is comparable to a seven-star or even eight-star Dou Huang. If it fights in the water, perhaps even an ordinary nine-star Dou Huang would not be its opponent," Xiao Yan secretly judged the Nethersea Flood Dragon's strength.

"Noisy!" Zi Yan glared at the Nethersea Flood Dragon.

"Uh, hehe, I was just excited. This old injury has really troubled me for too long. Thank you for the pill, Alchemist Xiao Yan, I am very grateful." Having learned its lesson, the Nethersea Flood Dragon dared not contradict Zi Yan again, and immediately shifted the topic to Xiao Yan.

After healing the Nethersea Flood Dragon, Xiao Yan fulfilled his promise and did not delay any further, returning to Mittel Manor with Zi Yan.

In the gazebo, Xiao Yan looked at Zi Yan sitting on the stone, her little feet dangling, and asked, "Zi Yan, your true form should be some kind of Magical Beast with Dragon Race bloodline, right?"

"Probably. When you were practicing that Dou Technique, I could understand that special pronunciation. That's when I realized I could understand Dragon Language," Zi Yan had only heard the language of the Dragon Race for the first time when she met Xiao Yan.

After all, there were no purebred Dragon Race in the mountains around Canaan Academy. If there were such creatures, the entire Inner Academy would not be safe.

And when Zi Yan hadn't eaten the Transformation Grass, she was still very young, and her appearance at that time made it impossible to determine her race.

Xiao Yan touched Zi Yan's little head and comforted her, "Don't worry, you'll be able to restore your true form soon."

Zi Yan blinked her eyes, put her hands on her hips, and said, "Okay, you said it. Don't think about lying to me again, or I won't help you find Medicinal Herbs anymore."

"Don't worry, I remember that someone in this Gama Empire has a Transformation Pill. I'll find a way to trick it out of them," Xiao Yan licked his lips and smiled slyly.

Zi Yan jumped onto the boulder, hugged Xiao Yan's neck, and said, "Do you want this girl to help you?"

"Don't worry, I can handle it." The two smiled at each other. Zi Yan liked that Xiao Yan was cunning enough.

However, Xiao Yan's nightmare was not over. As the proposer of the Flame Alliance Covenant and the Young Clan Leader of the Xiao Clan, one of the founding forces of the Flame Alliance, Xiao Yan had a pile of things to deal with the next day.

For example, some things that happened after the birth of the Flame Alliance, the obstacles encountered, and the forces hostile to the Flame Alliance. There were also some forces that wanted to join the Flame Alliance, and the standards for joining had not yet been set.

Although there were preliminary regulations, everyone had subconsciously regarded Xiao Yan as the leader of the Flame Alliance, so some major events were waiting for him to decide.

And the biggest event for the Flame Alliance was the Sect Assembly in the Northwest Region. It would be more accurate to say that Jia Xing Tian and Medusa agreed to Xiao Yan establishing the Flame Alliance for the sake of this Sect Assembly.

"There's still half a year?" Xiao Yan asked.

In the hall, the various high-level members of the Flame Alliance were gathered. Queen Yao Ye and Jia Xing Tian represented the Gama Empire's royal family, and Xiao Ding and Xiao Yan, who had come down from the Yunlan Sect, represented the Xiao Clan.

In addition, Yun Shui, the new Great Elder of the Yunlan Sect, represented the Yunlan Sect. And Hua She'er and Yue Mei, the Medusa's guard captain who had rushed over from the Snake-People Empire knowing that Xiao Yan had returned, naturally represented the Snake-People Empire.

Yao Ye Queen nodded, her face showing a hint of worry, and said, "The Northwest Region Sect Assembly will be held in half a year. At that time, all the sect forces in the Northwest Region will participate."

"This assembly is very important. If the performance in the assembly is too poor... it will attract disaster."

The Northwest Region Sect Assembly is, to put it bluntly, a place to showcase the strength of all parties. If your strength is too weak, in this world where strength is respected, once your strength is insufficient, what you will attract is the invasion and even division by various forces.

The Chuyun Empire, Luoyan Empire, and Mulan Empire bordering the Gama Empire are also countries in the Northwest Region. On the surface, the borders of these four countries are adjacent to each other and on an equal footing, but in reality, the Gama Empire is the weakest of the four empires, and the other three empires have a faint tendency to join forces to invade.

The reason is also very simple: the Gama Empire does not have a Dou Zong.

It was only out of fear of the Yunlan Sect, which was once somewhat famous on the Dou Qi Continent, that they had not truly taken action.

This is also why the Gama royal family was not happy but worried after Yun Shan died and most of the elders of the Yunlan Sect died tragically two years ago.

Once the strongest Yunlan Sect in the country is destroyed, then the other three empires will not be as harmonious as they are now. They will definitely join forces and bring their armies to directly divide the entire Gama Empire.

And the Sect Assembly is the boundary. If you don't show strength in the Sect Assembly, if you don't show that your high-end combat power is very strong, then the result will be very miserable.

Yao Ye and the others sighed secretly in their hearts. The Sect Assembly was like a countdown. Until now, they still didn't have a Dou Zong.

"I'm afraid that if we form an alliance now, it will cause the Chuyun Empire, Luoyan Empire, and Mulan Empire to also form an alliance and then deal with us."

"Since the alliance, these three empires have also increased the number of times they have sent troops to the Snake-People Empire." Yue Mei added.

The Snake-People Empire has the most dangerous geographical location. It is in the middle of the four empires, but although it is called an empire, its area is very small, with only eight tribes, and they live in the desert. In addition, Medusa's iron-blooded methods and strength have prevented it from being destroyed.

Yue Mei continued, "Last month, the Chuyun Empire and the Luoyan Empire sent two Dou Huangs, who suddenly appeared on the border, probably wanting to test Your Majesty the Queen's news."

Medusa's departure with Xiao Yan was a secret, and no outsiders knew about it, but Medusa hadn't appeared for two years, which naturally aroused suspicion from various forces.

"Fortunately, Yun Yun Sect Leader arrived in time to prevent large-scale casualties."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed, his brow furrowed, and he asked, "Yun Yun Sect Leader is now on the border?"

Yun Shui nodded and said, "In response to Master Xiao Yan, yes, the Sect Leader is still on the border, and the Young Sect Master has entered the Gate of Life and Death to cultivate, further opening the inheritance of the old Sect Leader Yun Potian, striving to break through to the Dou Huang realm as soon as possible."

No wonder Jia Xing Tian and Hai Bo Dong were so excited when they saw Xiao Yan return. It turned out that the Gama Empire was already in imminent danger! Hua She'er exchanged glances with Yue Mei, and Hua She'er asked, "Master Xiao Yan, where is that Your Majesty the Queen now?"

"Don't worry, Medusa is now in a Secret Realm condensing the Strange Flame Serpent Body. I believe it will take another year or two to complete the condensation and truly complete the evolution to the Sixth Order realm. At that time, the fully evolved Medusa reaching Eighth-Order will only be a matter of time." Xiao Yan replied with a smile.

Hiss! Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Hai Bo Dong and Jia Xing Tian both gasped. Eighth-Order was only a matter of time!!!

Eighth-Order Magical Beast, that's a Dou Zun!

If Medusa could really step into the Dou Zun realm, ruling the entire Northwest Region would not be a problem! Hua She'er and Yue Mei's faces were filled with excitement, and even their eyes had some tears. Their Snake-People Empire was forced to live in the desert, and the perennial war made their people live in misery. Now they have finally seen the dawn!

"Don't be happy too early. If the country is destroyed, even if Medusa truly returns with great cultivation, it will be meaningless for her to avenge you. The things that are lost will not come back." Xiao Ding poured a bucket of cold water on them from the side.

Xiao Yan nodded in agreement with his elder brother's words. Having lived two lives, he naturally understood the cruelty of war. If the country is destroyed and the family is ruined, it is meaningless to take revenge later. The things that are lost will not come back, and the dead will not come back.

Moreover, Xiao Yan also had self-awareness. The border between the Gama Empire and the Snake-People Empire was so vast. No matter how powerful he was, could he guard such a long border line alone? Even with the power of the Void Swallowing Flame, Xiao Yan couldn't guard it.

Moreover, Xiao Yan couldn't stay in the Gama Empire forever. Relying on him alone, he couldn't protect the Flame Alliance.

Xiao Ding exchanged a look with Xiao Yan, looked at the worried crowd in the field, and said directly, "The best way now is the Sect Assembly. If we can achieve excellent results in the Sect Assembly, then we will definitely be able to deter other sect forces and prevent them from coveting the Gama Empire and the Snake-People Empire. Then, as long as we wait for Medusa to return, it will be our time to counterattack."

Yao Ye also nodded, agreeing with Xiao Ding's statement, and said, "Indeed, in the previous Sect Assembly, we didn't have a Dou Zong either. Yun Shan led the team. At that time, although our Gama Empire was still rated as second-rate, because Gu He broke through the threshold of a Rank 6 Alchemist, it was considered to have stabilized the situation."

"The level of Alchemists in our empire has always been top-notch among the four empires. This time, we may be able to use the old tricks again."

The strength of an empire is not only determined by the top combat power, but also the Alchemist is a very important consideration.

The Alchemist Guild is neutral, but Alchemists like Xiao Yan and Gu He are not, especially Xiao Yan. He is the founder of the Flame Alliance, and his identity is very important.

Everyone looked at Xiao Yan's position. Since Xiao Yan could refine the Primal Bone Forming Pill, then he was at least a Rank 6 Alchemist, right?

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, tapping the table lightly with his fingers, looked at the expectant expressions of the crowd, and Xiao Yan nodded slowly, and said, "I am indeed a Rank 6 Alchemist, but I will not stay in the Flame Alliance forever. Our Flame Alliance still needs a Dou Zong to come out to support the scene, so that many unnecessary troubles can be avoided."

"Moreover, if we don't have a Dou Zong, some things will be difficult to carry out."

Xiao Yan glanced around, his gaze fell on Jia Xing Tian, who was sitting next to Yao Ye, and his powerful Seventh Order Soul swept over Jia Xing Tian.

Jia Xing Tian felt something, looked at Xiao Yan, puzzled, and didn't know what Xiao Yan was going to do.

"Elder Jia, I see that your cultivation has reached the peak of Dou Huang for many years, right?" Xiao Yan asked.

Hearing this, Jia Xing Tian sighed and said, "Alas, indeed, I have been at the peak of Dou Huang for a long time, but I have never been able to break through that line."

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Elder Jia, I wonder if you have ever used the Sect Breakthrough Pill?"
