Battle Through the Heavens: The Alchemist Starting from the Ye Family

“Okay, I will tell him,” Ye Zhong replied in a deep voice.

……

……

Ye Zhong hurriedly left the Pill Tower again, while Ye Chen continued to his teacher's office to inquire about the possibility of entering the Pill Realm.

Meanwhile, on Yunlan Mountain.

Overwhelmed by the terrifying soul pressure emanating from the aerial battle, Xiao Yan, who was coughing up blood, felt he was about to die...

"Is this really the end...?"

His consciousness began to fade, and in his final moments, only this one thought remained in Xiao Yan's mind.

But in the next moment, in Xiao Yan's blurry vision, a dark figure suddenly stood in front of him, erecting a black Dou Qi shield that directly isolated the terrifying pressure from the outside world.

"Damn it, I'm too late. Is this little guy dead? If so, I won't be able to explain it to Miss!"

In his dazed state, Xiao Yan heard such a voice.

"Someone's coming to my rescue?"

In an instant, Xiao Yan felt as if he had grasped at the last straw and tried desperately to open his eyes.

His struggles also alerted

Upon seeing the newcomer, the figure couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, saying, "Thank goodness, it seems there's still hope..."

As he spoke, the other party directly stuffed a pill into Xiao Yan's mouth.

As soon as the pill entered his stomach, a warm current quickly flowed to Xiao Yan's limbs and bones, and his internal organs and bones, which had been crushed and severely damaged, began to recover rapidly.

A moment later, Xiao Yan, who had been on the verge of death, was able to open his eyes again. Although his weakness prevented him from getting up, his life had been saved...

"Who are you...?" Looking at the mysterious old man in black robes in front of him, Xiao Yan asked with some surprise and uncertainty.

The man in black robes looked at Xiao Yan, who had recovered, and smiled gently, saying, "You'll find out who I am in the future. For now, all you need to know is that I'm here to protect you."

As he spoke, the man in black robes looked up at the ongoing battle in the sky.

"Tsk tsk, I never expected you to have such luck, kid, to actually become the disciple of the Medicine Venerable, the former number one alchemist in Central Continent! It's just a pity that this Medicine Venerable is now only a soul, and to make matters worse, he was encountered by these guys. This time, he's probably in grave danger..."

Upon hearing Yao Chen's name, Xiao Yan suddenly realized something and said urgently, "Senior, I wonder if you could help my teacher? If my master and I can escape this predicament, Xiao Yan is willing to grant you any request as a way of repaying you!"

The man in black glanced at the little fellow, chuckled inexplicably, then looked away and said calmly, "I have nothing to ask of you. Besides, with my strength, I'm not qualified to participate in a battle at the Dou Zong level..."

My only task is to save your life, nothing more!

Xiao Yan's expression froze for a moment, but it was quickly replaced by anxiety and disappointment.

He knew that regardless of whether what the man in black had said was true or false, the man clearly wouldn't help his teacher...

However, he did not hold a grudge because of this. After all, it was already a great favor that the other party saved his life. Even if the other party refused to help, he had no right to blame him.

Xiao Yan's changing expression did not escape the black-robed man's notice. Seeing that although he was anxious and disappointed, he did not harbor resentment, which made the latter somewhat accept Xiao Yan's character...

above the sky.

The thick black fog that had blotted out the sky had dissipated, and two figures reappeared in front of Xiao Yan.

Yao Lao's body had become almost transparent, like a drop of water, clearly indicating that he had been seriously injured in the battle just now. Moreover, Xiao Yan could also sense that his teacher's aura was growing weaker and weaker...

"Heh heh, Yao Chen, I told you, today, you will not escape my grasp!" Looking at Yao Lao, whose figure had become almost transparent, Protector Wu's sinister laughter suddenly rang out in the vast black curtain.

Feeling the chilling fluctuations around him, Yao Chen knew that with his current severe injuries, he could no longer cope with the attack from Protector Wu.

It seems that his arrest is now a foregone conclusion...

Thoughts flashed through his mind. Yao Lao lowered his gaze, his eyes seeming to pierce through the darkness, staring directly at the pale-faced black-robed youth on the treetop.

"Hey, who is that person...?"

Upon seeing the black-robed man standing beside Ye Chen, Yao Lao felt a sense of familiarity with the man's soul aura.

"So that's how it is. So he's the guardian of that little girl... She actually sent her only strong person to protect Xiao Yan. It seems that little girl has deep feelings for Xiao Yan..."

"That's good, that's good..."

At this moment, Yao Chen seemed to see a glimmer of hope for him and his disciple.

Chapter 253 Yao Lao is arrested, Lin Xiu arrives in the Black Corner Region (Month)

Battle Through the Heavens: The Alchemist Starting from the Ye Family

A peaceful smile appeared on his face, and a wisp of white flame suddenly shot out from between Yao Lao's eyebrows, finally flashing through space like lightning and directly entering Xiao Yan's forehead.

"Little one, perhaps your teacher won't be able to stay by your side anymore. From now on, you'll have to rely on yourself for everything."

Hehe, so many years have passed. You're no longer the little boy who needed his teacher by his side all the time. You'll go further than I predict... I hope I can see that day again.

A fiery light flashed across Xiao Yan's forehead, and a gentle, aged voice suddenly rang in his mind.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's body trembled violently. He bit his lip so hard that blood seeped out. Although he had already guessed it, he still couldn't accept it when the moment came.

"Don't worry, your teacher won't die so easily. This wisp of fire is the origin of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire. I've left it on your forehead. Once you've mastered it, you'll be able to use the Bone Spirit Cold Fire as well."

However, because I have already refined it, your Burning Technique cannot devour and refine it.

Of course, if I were to meet with misfortune one day, the fire mark on your forehead would automatically disappear, and the Bone Spirit Cold Flame would become ownerless. At that time, consider it your teacher's final gift to you; devour it..."

If there's one regret in Yao Chen's heart, it's probably that he couldn't witness Xiao Yan devouring and refining the strange fire, and evolving the Burning Technique.

After all, it was because of this very technique that the person closest to him did something he would regret for the rest of his life…

"Hehe, also, the ring I use to hide my soul is called the 'Bone Flame Ring,' containing some of my belongings. And if you ever meet my old friend Venerable Wind, show him this ring, and he will believe everything you say... and he will help you."

This was the last thing Yao Chen could do to help his disciple.

Xiao Yan listened painfully to the voice in his mind, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the gentle gaze projected through space above.

"Although I have fallen into the hands of the Soul Palace, it will not be easy for them to refine my soul. Perhaps we will have a chance to meet again in the future, but you must remember not to act recklessly before you have the strength. If you want to save your master and your father, you cannot afford to have any accidents!"

The old doctor seemed hesitant, but after a pause, he said, "If... I mean if, if you still can't absorb the strange fire before breaking through to the Dou Wang realm, then you should switch to another cultivation technique..."

"Hehe, little guy...you are my proudest student, and I have always been very satisfied with your growth."

The gentle laughter slowly faded from his mind, and a white flame mark gradually appeared on Xiao Yan's forehead.

At the same time, after placing the last glimmer of hope in Xiao Yan, Yao Lao's voice rang in the black-robed man's ear: "I know you are a powerful figure by the side of that little girl from the Xiao family. Now, take Xiao Yan down the mountain to Canaan Academy, immediately!"

The black-robed man was startled when he heard Yao Chen's voice, but after hearing his words, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"As expected of the former Medicine Master, he knew of my existence long ago, and even knew about Miss..."

However, he completely agreed with Yao Chen's words. If he hadn't been afraid of Xiao Yan's resistance, he might have already run away with his men the moment he appeared...

<

The man in black robes glanced down at Xiao Yan and said in a deep voice, "Boy, if you want any hope of saving your teacher in the future, come with me now!"

Before the words were even finished, the man in black robes grabbed Xiao Yan and lifted him up. A pair of jet-black Dou Qi wings appeared on his back, and in an instant, he soared into the sky. During this process, Xiao Yan made no movement, offered no resistance, and simply stared blankly at the increasingly distant Yunlan Mountain, as if his soul had left his body…

Seeing this, Yao Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But the opposing Protector Wu was so angry he almost exploded...

"You bastard, trying to run away? You're asking for death!"

Enraged, Protector Wu unleashed a palm strike, his raging black battle aura transforming into a monstrous python that shot out, heading straight for the direction the black-robed man had gone.

Yao Chen naturally wouldn't let him succeed, gathering his last bit of soul power to stop him directly.

This single moment gave Xiao Yan and his companions ample time to escape, and in the blink of an eye, the two had completely vanished.

"You're asking for death...!"

Enraged, Protector Wu turned his gun around, his hands transforming into jet-black soul claws, and lunged at the even more illusory Elder Yao...

Several cracks quietly appeared in the darkness that filled the sky, and dazzling sunlight immediately poured in, driving away all the darkness in this area.

Above the sky, Protector Wu stood suspended in mid-air, holding a ball of black mist in his palm, from which a familiar fluctuation emanated.

With his hand tightly gripping the wisp of black mist, Protector Wu moved his hand seals and swiftly drew it into a ring on his finger, then let out a long sigh of relief…

After all that effort, we finally caught this old guy who had been on the run for so many years. Although the Xiao family's kid escaped this time, with this gain, the Palace Master will surely be overjoyed when we return. My credit is already secured.

After imprisoning Yao Lao's soul in the storage ring, Protector Wu glanced in the direction Xiao Yan had fled, his eyes narrowing slightly. He was also filled with doubt about the black-robed man at the Dou Huang level who had suddenly appeared...

After a long while, Protector Wu transformed into black mist and disappeared from the summit of Yunlan Mountain.

Everything returned to normal, leaving only the ravaged Yunlan Mountain, standing alone, telling the story of the past tragedy...

Xiao Yan and the mysterious black-robed Dou Huang took them away without any hesitation, heading straight for the border of the Jia Ma Empire.

Their target is the Black Corner Region, where Canaan Academy is located!

……

……

At the same time, Lin Xiu, a Seven-Star Dou Zong who was sent to the Black Corner Region by Ye Chen, finally arrived in the Black Corner Region after nearly three months of travel.

Facing this unfamiliar territory for the first time, Lin Xiu was completely clueless. Fortunately, Ye Chen had already given instructions: upon arriving in the Black Corner Region, he should go directly to Canaan Academy to find Ye Xinyue, and have his men assist Lin Xiu in his mission…

Although Lin Xiu didn't think the indigenous forces in such a remote place as the Northwest Continent could have any decent experts, if someone could guide him, his mission would be much smoother...

Therefore, after arriving in the Black Corner Region, he immediately inquired about the direction of Canaan Academy, and then sped off again without stopping!

Chapter 254 Lin Xiu's Setback

Battle Through the Heavens: The Alchemist Starting from the Ye Family

Canaan Academy is quite a distance from the cities of the Black Corner Region, and it is guarded by law enforcement teams. Anyone from the Black Corner Region who gets too close will be brutally suppressed by the law enforcement teams.

Of course, this only applies to ordinary people. For a Seven-Star Dou Zong like Lin Xiu, let alone the enforcement team, if the guardians in the inner courtyard didn't intervene, probably no one in the entire Canaan Academy could stop him.

Although Canaan Academy is renowned as the number one academy on the continent, few people truly understand it, including Lin Xiu. However, since Ye Chen had given him instructions beforehand, he didn't act too recklessly.

In the Foreign Languages ​​Department, Vice Dean Hu Qian was working in his office.

But the next instant, the space in a certain part of the room suddenly fluctuated, immediately alerting Hu Qian...

"This is... a powerful figure has arrived!"

In an instant, Hu Qian's aura as a peak Douhuang suddenly erupted, shaking the entire outer courtyard.

Upon noticing this, Wu Tianlang, the leader of the enforcement team and also a guardian of the outer courtyard, instantly transformed into a streak of blood-red light and arrived...

However, just as he arrived outside Hu Qian's office, preparing to break down the door, a terrifying pressure descended upon the two of them, rendering them unable to move!

"A high-level Dou Zong?!"

In an instant, the two realized that the strength of the newcomer was far beyond what the two peak Dou Huangs could resist.

Just then, the high-level Dou Zong expert who had suddenly arrived spoke up, saying, "Don't be nervous, I am not an enemy..."

As he spoke, Lin Xiu, who had emerged from the space, also withdrew the spatial suppression he had placed on the two of them.

Seeing this, Hu Qian and Wu Tianlang both breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he was somewhat angry, Hu Qian still had to cup his hands and ask, "May I ask who you are and what brings you to my Canaan Academy?"

Lin Xiu smiled slightly, and was about to speak, but suddenly turned his gaze to the northwest...

"Hmm? You arrived quickly. It seems Canaan Academy is quite vigilant..."

In Lin Xiu's perception, a two-star Dou Zong was rapidly approaching from the northwest. It seemed to be the inner courtyard elder that Ye Chen had mentioned, who had connections with the Ye family.

However, he didn't care. After all, he was just a two-star Dou Zong. As long as he explained the purpose of his visit, he thought the other party wouldn't mind his somewhat offensive behavior.

Unfortunately, things often happen in unexpected ways.

Before Lin Xiu could even begin to explain the purpose of his visit, two even more terrifying pressures descended upon him, giving him a sense of deadly crisis!

"Hold on! I'm here to find someone!" Lin Xiu shouted urgently.

Who could have imagined that the situation would completely reverse in such a short time...

"Looking for someone? Hmph! I don't think you're here to find anyone, but rather to cause trouble!"

Two gray figures appeared in Hu Qian's office without warning, a sight that made Lin Xiu's eyelids twitch.

Although he didn't sense the terrifying aura unique to Dou Zun experts from these two, they were definitely peak Dou Zong experts no less than Qin Yan, the sect master of the Black Fire Sect...
