Magical Beast Family

Xiao Yan was not polite and put all the corpses into the Storage Ring. After all, these were famous powerhouses in the Northwest Region, and their Storage Rings must contain some good things. Besides, he couldn't collect their Souls here.

How could Xiao Yan possibly miss the chance to loot?

"Qing Lin, let's go back. I'm afraid the remaining arena matches of this Sect Assembly won't be held today," Xiao Yan said with a smile, touching Qing Lin's little head.

After thinking for a moment, Qing Lin nodded and turned to She Tianhao, saying, "Palace Master, Qing Lin has some matters to attend to today and needs to take a leave of absence from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion for a while."

She Tianhao's eyes revealed a hint of ferocity as he said in a deep voice, "Qing Lin, you need to think carefully. The Heavenly Serpent Mansion has treated you well."

Xiao Yan took a step forward, stood in front of Qing Lin, and said with a smile, "Heavenly Serpent Mansion Master, you don't need to seek repayment for your kindness. Qing Lin didn't get the Heavenly Serpent Mansion's resources for free in the first place. She will fulfill what she promised, which is to repay the Heavenly Serpent Mansion's kindness in nurturing her."

She Tianhao gritted his teeth so hard they nearly shattered, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Yan! Is your Flame Alliance determined to be enemies with my Heavenly Serpent Mansion?!"

Xiao Yan shrugged, not caring, and said, "The Flame Alliance is not my Flame Alliance alone. Why don't you ask Her Majesty Medusa if she agrees?"

Medusa glanced at Xiao Yan, that shameless fellow, then looked at Qing Lin and slowly said, "She has the bloodline of my Snake-People Race in her body, so she is naturally a citizen of my Snake-People Empire."

Medusa made it very clear that Qing Lin would be under her protection. Whoever dared to touch Qing Lin, she, Medusa, would definitely take action.

"Good, good, good! What a Flame Alliance, what a Medusa." She Tianhao waved his hand and coldly glanced at Qing Lin, saying, "Qing Lin, I hope you remember what you promised the Heavenly Serpent Mansion."

Faced with She Tianhao's threat, Medusa ignored him completely, glanced at Lu She behind She Tianhao, revealed a sneer, and then her eyes slightly narrowed.

"Ah!" With a whoosh, Lu She, who had once betrayed the Snake-People Empire, suddenly had an invisible Heart Flame ignite within his body, instantly turning his entire body red and emitting sizzling white smoke.

In just a few seconds, Lu She died, transforming from a human form back into a Giant Python with deer antlers on its head, and was burned into charcoal in half a minute.

With just a glance, she killed a Dou Huang! "Betraying me will result in such an end. No one can save its life." Medusa's Snake-People Empire was already at odds with the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, and now she directly took action to kill a traitor.

Seeing Lu She's death, Hua She'er and Yue Mei were excited. They naturally also extremely hated this kind of ungrateful villain.

"Humph!" She Tianhao's eyes flashed with resentment, but at this time, his Heavenly Serpent Mansion did not have the confidence to start a war with the Flame Alliance. With a wave of his hand, he led all the disciples of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion away.

Seeing She Tianhao leave, Medusa waved her sleeve and lightly stepped into the void, standing on the head of the Nethersea Flood Dragon.

The Nethersea Flood Dragon could only shrink its head, not daring to have any complaints. Those two three-star Dou Zongs had just been killed by Medusa, unable to escape. If it dared to make a sound, it would die in minutes.

Too terrifying!

Before long, the Nethersea Flood Dragon also led everyone from the Flame Alliance away from this place.

Although the protagonist had left, everyone present understood one thing: the Northwest Region had been turned upside down!

"If... if Medusa successfully defends the arena in the final Sect Assembly..."

Hiss!! Everyone realized one thing: the Flame Alliance was only one step away from ruling the Northwest Region.

If Medusa could defend against the attacks of all the Sect Leaders in the Northwest Region with her own strength, it would mean that the Flame Alliance was the best in terms of both the younger generation and Alchemists! It could even be said that they were not just one step away. Many Sect Leaders present were already considering whether to join the Flame Alliance.

Just like the previous session, not all Sect Leaders in the Northwest Region would attack the arena when the Heavenly Serpent Mansion defended it. Only the Thunder Sect, Lion Nether Sect, and Medicine Bone Sect attacked and defeated She Tianhao.

After all, no one wanted to offend such a powerful force for no reason. Who wasn't afraid of being retaliated against?

So, in reality, the Flame Alliance only needed to withstand the attacks from the Thunder Sect, Lion Nether Sect, and Heavenly Serpent Mansion to be considered successful! The other sects would naturally retreat in the face of difficulty.

Sure enough, before long, the Heavenly Serpent Mansion released news that the Sect Assembly would continue tomorrow.

After all, although the Flame Alliance was strong, it was absolutely impossible for the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, Thunder Sect, and Lion Nether Sect to submit to them, just like the Heavenly Serpent Mansion in the past. It would definitely be besieged.

In Medusa's room in the Flame Alliance Residence.

"If you look again, I'll dig out your eyeballs." Medusa's pretty face was as cold as ice, her eyes coldly staring at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan rolled his eyes at Medusa, dissatisfied, and said, "What's wrong with me looking? My contribution is at least half of your Strange Flame Serpent Body!"

"Moreover, you've improved too quickly, which is different from my estimate. Wouldn't it be troublesome if there are any aftereffects?"

Xiao Yan sized up the beautiful Medusa Queen sitting in the chair, and even boldly scanned her with his Soul power. With a snap, the cup on the table shattered instantly, and the aura on Medusa's body couldn't help but surge out.

I've been tolerating you for a long time! "Cough cough." Xiao Yan's throat moved up and down, and he shrank his head, saying, "In my opinion, your Strange Flame Serpent Body is perfectly condensed. You've improved so quickly probably because the Strange Flame fusion has greatly increased your cultivation."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect that you actually obtained a portion of the Strange Flame's power." Xiao Yan had not forgotten that Medusa had killed Lu She with just a glance, which was the power of the Fallen Heart Flame.

However, it was only a very small portion of the power. Medusa did not inherit the Fallen Heart Flame's effect of accelerating cultivation.

Xiao Yan was not polite and sat directly opposite Medusa, taking a cup and pouring himself a cup of tea to drink.

Dudu dudu, Xiao Yan tapped his fingers on the table, then seriously asked, "Are you confident in defeating those guys from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion?"

Medusa's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly as her beautiful eyes looked at Xiao Yan, and she coldly asked, "You want to unify the Northwest Region?"

Medusa didn't have much interest in unifying the Northwest Region. She only wanted to become stronger to protect her people and keep them safe from war. Unlike the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, she wasn't very interested in returning to the Central State.

"It's not exactly about unifying the Northwest Region. In another year or two, I might leave the Gama Empire to go to the Central State to participate in the Pill Gathering, and Zi Yan's family is also in the Central State. I want to go with her to see what the situation is with her family now," Xiao Yan said directly, without hiding anything.

"So, if we can resolve some hidden dangers, it's best to do it within these two years."

It was impossible for Xiao Yan to stay for long. The next Pill Gathering was in three years, and Xiao Yan also had to go to the Burning Flame Valley to obtain the complete Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations.

If the Soul Palace and Ya Fei hadn't found any news about the Bodhi Transformation Saliva within two years, then Xiao Yan would have to take Little Fairy Doctor to the Pill Tower to seek a second method, or see if there was a way to delay it a little longer.

Medusa thought for a while and said, "I'm not sure either. Those three old guys are all Seven-Star Dou Zongs like me, and I haven't tested my strength."

The Lion Nether Sect Leader Shi Nian, the Thunder Sect Leader Ting Hao, and She Tianhao were all Seven-Star Dou Zongs. If she wanted to successfully defend the stage, then Medusa would have to face three Seven-Star Dou Zongs.

She was confident that she could win against any one of them in a one-on-one fight, but it was hard to say about fighting three at once.

"Then let's not force it. When I can refine Rank 7 Intermediate-Level pills, the Flame Alliance should also be safe. Then I'll feel more at ease going to the Central State," Xiao Yan didn't force it either. When the Heavenly Flame Venerable was resurrected, the Flame Alliance would have one more general, and Xiao Yan would naturally feel more at ease.

"What is Zi Yan's true form?" Medusa looked at Xiao Yan. Just now, Zi Yan had fought three opponents alone. Facing the combined attack of the Three Mulan Elders, Zi Yan was still strong, especially that Purple Light and the power of space, which surprised Medusa a little.

A Dou Huang could actually control the power of space, and that terrifying physical strength was even stronger than a Dou Zong. This made Medusa couldn't help but become curious about what Zi Yan's true form was.

After thinking about it, Xiao Yan felt that Medusa was trustworthy, so he said, "That girl's true form is a Void Ancient Dragon."

"Void Ancient Dragon!" A hint of surprise appeared in Medusa's eyes. Even Medusa, with her temperament, showed such surprise, which showed what kind of status the words Void Ancient Dragon had among Magical Beasts.

"What's wrong? You are also a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, an ancient Strange Beast, and you also possess the Strange Flame Serpent Body. In terms of bloodline, you shouldn't be below the Void Ancient Dragon," Xiao Yan asked with some doubt.

Medusa shook her head and slowly explained to Xiao Yan, "The Void Ancient Dragon Race has a different status among Magical Beast races. The so-called three great Magical Beast families in the Central State now, the Nine Serene Earthly Underworld Serpent Race and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Race, are only collateral descendants of the ancient Heavenly Serpent and ancient Heavenly Phoenix bloodlines. They are not descendants of the ancient Heavenly Serpent and ancient Heavenly Phoenix."

Xiao Yan frowned and said, "You mean, third generation?"

Medusa nodded and continued, "Yes, so they don't call themselves Heavenly Phoenix or Heavenly Serpent. Only the Void Ancient Dragon Race, they are the direct descendants of the ancient dragon, inheriting the ancient dragon's void power, so they are called the Void Ancient Dragon Race."

"At the same time, the ancient dragon was also the first Magical Beast to reach the tenth rank."

"Tenth rank?! You mean Dou Di!"

"Yes, what you humans call Dou Di, we Magical Beasts call Divine Beast."

Xiao Yan's heart tensed. This was the first time he had heard these secrets. No wonder the Magical Beast family was the three great families. At first, Xiao Yan thought it was because these three families were the most powerful among Magical Beasts, so they were called the three great families.

Now that he said it like this, it turned out that the Magical Beast three great families were the same as the Dou Di families, which were actually the eight ancient Dou Di clans.

Actually, that wasn't right, because from the perspective of the Dou Di families, the Magical Beasts now only had the Void Ancient Dragon as a Divine Beast clan. Strictly speaking, the Nine Serene Earthly Underworld Serpent Race and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Race were no longer considered.

Xiao Yan estimated that the Sky Swallowing Python Race might be the same as the Void Ancient Dragon, inheriting the ancient Heavenly Serpent's ability to swallow the heavens and earth, so they were called Sky Swallowing Pythons. Of course, it was also possible that the Sky Swallowing Python Race was another Divine Beast bloodline.

After all, there were more than eight Dou Dis in ancient times, but later, in the Era of Emperor An, all the Dou Dis suddenly disappeared for some reason, and some of those Dou Di families also disappeared in history.

"Hey, Xiao Yan! How long are you going to chat? Don't you want to monopolize all the Medicinal Herbs again!" At this time, the impatient Zi Yan waited for a long time and couldn't help but run over to knock on the door.

After all, Xiao Yan had taken away all the Storage Rings. Zi Yan naturally didn't want those corpses and Soul Bodies, but the Medicinal Herbs in the Storage Rings had to be divided with her.

Medusa glanced at Xiao Yan, as if asking: You actually blackmailed Zi Yan's Medicinal Herbs? Xiao Yan awkwardly touched his nose and opened the door, saying, "Here it comes, let's go, let's go divide the spoils."

"What divide the spoils, this is called rewarding merits," Zi Yan said with her hands on her hips.

"You've even learned idioms."

This time, Xiao Yan had a great harvest. After all, whether it was the Medicine Bone Sect, the Golden Goose Sect, or Mulan Valley, they had all come to participate in the Sect Assembly and the Alchemist competition, so they had brought a lot of Medicinal Herbs just in case.

Especially the Bone Child Old Man, Xiao Yan couldn't help but be moved to tears. He not only gave himself a Strange Flame and Soul Points, but now he even gave him several Rank 7 level Medicinal Herbs, making Xiao Yan's eyes fill with tears and he was extremely moved.

But unfortunately, Xiao Yan still wanted to blackmail more Medicinal Herbs from Zi Yan, but Medusa couldn't stand it anymore. She directly used a Space Lock to hold down Xiao Yan and gave most of the Sixth Grade Medicinal Herbs to Zi Yan.

Xiao Yan hated it so much that his teeth itched, but he couldn't beat Medusa.

"Damn it, Medusa, one day I will definitely take revenge!"

Qing Lin's return naturally made Xiao Ding and Xiao Li very happy. After all, they had picked up Qing Lin in the desert and raised her for so many years, so they definitely had feelings for her.

Although it was a joyous scene now, Xiao Yan knew that the real challenge was tomorrow.

Early the next morning, the Sect Assembly continued, but on this day, the atmosphere of the entire Heavenly Serpent Mansion Mountain Range had obviously changed greatly compared to the past.

The people surrounding the mountain range all had solemn expressions. If the Flame Alliance failed to block the attacks of the major sects in the Northwest Region, or if they took the initiative to give up unifying the Northwest Region, then the Northwest Region would still be the same as before.

However, if the Flame Alliance successfully defends the arena and defeats the leaders of the various sects, the result will be a major reshuffle of the entire Northwest Region. From then on, the Northwest Region will belong to the Flame Alliance. All sects will either disband and merge into the Flame Alliance, or become affiliated sects, paying annual tributes. From then on, a behemoth will dominate their life and death.

The original ten arenas have now been reduced to just one. There's no need for the Ten Great Sects to choose anymore. Everyone holds their breath, as this arena battle concerns the fate of all the sects! "The Flame Alliance is here!"

Suddenly, someone in the mountain range exclaimed in surprise. Everyone looked towards the horizon, where a huge blue Nethersea Flood Dragon was swimming from above the clouds, slowly flying towards the mountain range.

Seeing the Nethersea Flood Dragon, everyone knew that the Flame Alliance had arrived!

With a loud bang, the Nethersea Flood Dragon landed heavily in the very center of the field, directly onto the only arena. The meaning was self-evident.

"Everyone, attack the arena! This first place, our Flame Alliance is determined to have it!"
