"Wait a moment..."
"Hun Miesheng... is dead?"
The Void-swallowing Flame sensed that its offspring flame had actually lost connection with it, causing its heart to be greatly alarmed.
Although it was only its offspring flame, its power was not weaker than any other Strange Fire. There were many divine Strange Fires ranked on the Strange Fire leaderboard, but the Void-swallowing Flame no longer deigned to exist on the same list as those Strange Fires.
In its view, only the Tuo She Ancient Emperor and itself, the Void-swallowing Flame, could be considered powerful Strange Fires. Others, like the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, were significantly weaker.
With the strength of Hun Miesheng, coupled with his use of the offspring flame, his power was definitely not modest. With skillful use, it was possible for a cultivator who was two "Cultivation Levels" higher than Hun Miesheng to fall at his hands.
However, now that the offspring flame had encountered trouble, Hun Miesheng most likely had more bad luck than good.
"It seems it really is him. But as for these women, if it were really him, he would certainly not spare these females a second glance," the Void-swallowing Flame thought with disdain. If it weren't for Xiao Yan being a person it valued, it would never resort to such means.
However, Xiao Yan humiliating someone else's womenfolk was one thing; it, with its dignity, would definitely not act this way.
Furthermore, for cultivators below the Dou Sheng, a mortal heart that has not faded away is the reason for their fondness for the feminine charm. Powerful cultivators would only focus on their strength; even if they had women, they would merely treat them as things to pass the time with during leisure, nothing serious.
If it really used such means to threaten him, wouldn't it be laughed to death?
The Void-swallowing Flame naturally couldn't conceive that Xu Ran was an exception. That being said, when one cultivates to a great extent, interest in the opposite sex becomes faint, and it is impossible to fall in love deeply, even if one is lustful. Do we not see that various powerhouses dominate alone, and even if they have a confidante, it's someone they bonded with during their weaker moments?
Most of Xu Ran's "Cultivation" was reliant on the System; he had hardly ever properly cultivated. In fact, Xu Ran had never set his heart on cultivation, which is why he harbored countless miscellaneous desires.
Nevertheless, even if the Void-swallowing Flame captured Yun Yun and the others, it wouldn't be a major issue for Xu Ran.
With Xu Ran's current strength, merely exerting the presence of a Dou Di would render the Void-swallowing Flame immobile. Any threats were simply laughable to him.
Xiao Yan continued on his murderous rampage, manically unleashing his formidable strength, and the evil aura emanating from him made everyone in the Yunlan Sect feel extraordinarily uncomfortable.
"Nalan Yanran, you and Xu Ran have caused me to end up in this miserable state today, yet you still show no remorse. You, like Xu Ran, deserve to die!"
"And Yun Yun, all of you took advantage of my weakness to humiliate me, now I shall repay you a hundredfold!"
Xiao Yan looked down at everyone below, and a fiery palm, carrying roaring flames, slashed towards them.
On the ground, hundreds of Yun Lan Sect Elders and Disciples ignited with raging black flames. After their piercing, tragic screams, in just a few breaths of time, they were directly burned to ash.
All the Yun Lan Sect disciples and Elders' eyes were splitting with rage as they looked at Xiao Yan with hate, yet they were extremely fearful of another assault from him.
"Since all of you look down on me, then let me slaughter you until there's none left." Xiao Yan swept his malicious gaze over everyone and suddenly burst into loud laughter.
He truly was a pitiful person, wronged by the despicable Xu Ran, now unable to return home and reviled by everyone.
The people of the Yunlan Sect, apart from fearing him, could not hide the disgust in the depths of their eyes.
In the past, Xiao Yan carried countless insults in the Yunlan Sect. A piece of trash daring to have any relationship with Nalan Yanran was simply preposterous. Moreover, Xiao Yan's strength was trash. Unable to break through the Dou Zhe for so many years, he was seen as nothing but a waste in everyone's eyes.
Back then, even without having met Xiao Yan, they had already developed a profound loathing for him.
And now, although Xiao Yan was so powerful that he threatened the Yun Lan Sect, his demon-like actions only deepened their revulsion. It was fortunate that Miss Nalan Yanran had not married Xiao Yan; otherwise, it would have been too great a pity to fall into the hands of such a demon.
"Xiao Yan, you trash, even with your improved strength, you're still trash!"
A disciple from the Yun Lan Sect finally had a mental breakdown under the shadow of fear and cursed Xiao Yan bitterly. Even with Xiao Yan's newfound strength, he still looked down upon him. Xiao Yan was not even one-thousandth of Lord Xu Ran and only threatened women. How could he ever compare to the formidable Lord Xu Ran?
"You deserve to die!"
Xiao Yan's voice was hoarse as a flame shot from his hand, burning the man to ashes instantly.
"If you've got the guts, kill us, too. Lord Xu Ran will avenge us."
"Xiao Yan, you lowly and shameless scoundrel, you will never forget the humiliation from Lord Xu Ran."
Countless accusations echoed from all directions.
The disciples of the Yun Lan Sect, who were once terrified of Xiao Yan, now that they knew death was inevitable, were no longer afraid of him and cursed him outright. The thought of the once worthless Xiao Yan becoming domineering made their hatred for him even more intense.
If he was trash, he should remain trash for life. Why should he rise up?
"Silence!"
A long cry from the depths of the Yun Lan Sect suppressed all the insults around.
"I am Yun Shan, the newly appointed Sect Master of the Yun Lan Sect, and I pay my respects to Lord Xiao Yan." Yun Shan knelt on the ground, bowing respectfully to Xiao Yan.
"Oh? The newly appointed Sect Master?" Xiao Yan looked at Yun Shan with disdain.
"Indeed. If Lord Xiao Yan is willing to spare my life, the Yun Lan Sect will be yours from now on." Yun Shan was frightened by Xiao Yan's aura. He had never before encountered such a terrifyingly powerful individual, even more formidable than Xu Ran.
In his view, Xiao Yan had grown to an even more formidable level than Xu Ran.
Xu Ran's greatest skill was alchemy, but Xiao Yan's sinister strength could take his life.
"The Yun Lan Sect is nothing but trash."
Xiao Yan was now a member of the Hun Clan and was highly regarded by the Void-swallowing Flame, his status nearly equal to that of a Hun Clan Elder. In Xiao Yan's eyes, the Yun Lan Sect was nothing but trash.
Yun Shan, seeing Xiao Yan dismiss the Yun Lan Sect to such an extent, felt somewhat desperate, but then an idea struck him.
"Yun Yun is the number one beauty of my Yun Lan Sect and also my disciple. As her teacher, who is like a father for life, if it pleases you, I'm willing to offer Yun Yun's hand in marriage to you." Yun Shan, thinking of the enmity between Xiao Yan and Xu Ran, immediately spoke with deference.
"Haha? How could I not think of that? Hahaha. Yun Yun's master, huh? Interesting!" Xiao Yan laughed heartily.
To marry Yun Yun would also avenge the grievance of Xu Ran stealing his wife in the past. Xu Ran had taken Nalan Yanran away, and now he could take Yun Yun. And with Yun Shan, her master, as a witness, the world would not dare to say anything.
