The ancient figure was dressed in a black and white Taoist robe. He had thick, black hair, but two streaks of white ran down his temples, looking rather strange.
He was handsome, and even though he appeared to be a middle-aged man, he was still attractive enough to make many women's hearts flutter.
"Why are you so nervous? Carry on. This Saint is all about the great harmony of life. The act between a man and a woman is the most beautiful thing in the world. Please, continue."
A look of anticipation spread across the Yin-Yang Evil Saint's face, remarkably similar to the expression of certain shut-ins from his previous life who would sit in front of a computer, tissue at the ready.
If it weren't for his incredibly handsome face, the expression would have been utterly lecherous.
Looking at this somewhat sinister face, Xiao Yan pondered for a moment before finally releasing Yao Ling, whom he had tightly controlled, and quickly retreated to the side.
"Xiao Yan..." Yao Ling could no longer maintain her usual aloofness, and a terrifying killing intent blazed in her beautiful eyes.
"I will certainly avenge this humiliation one day."
"Don't talk like that. We were just competing for the Heavenly Flame. You really shouldn't hold a grudge against me," Xiao Yan said with a helpless gesture, facing Yao Ling's resentment.
Daring to hold a grudge against the Xiao Clan's Emperor, that was a path to death.
"Is this how you compete for a Heavenly Flame? So despicable!" Yao Ling was almost driven mad, and a mist of tears even veiled her beautiful eyes.
As the dignified Saintess of the Yao Clan, when had she ever been so teased?
"Heh heh, not bad, not bad. You little brat is shameless, this Saint likes it very much." Before the two could finish their conversation, the middle-aged man spoke again with a laugh.
Hearing this, Yao Ling's expression changed, while Xiao Yan's face showed joy.
But if one looked closely, his footsteps had quietly retreated a step.
Even though this person had been dead for a thousand years, he was still a former Dou Sheng powerhouse. If such a powerhouse harbored ill intentions towards him, perhaps he, the Xiao Clan's Emperor, would be finished here today.
Compared to things like Heavenly Flames and Inheritances, Xiao Yan felt that his life was sometimes more important.
As long as the green mountains remain, there's no need to worry about firewood.
"Hehe, a clever little fellow." Seeing Xiao Yan's small action, a smile appeared on the Yin-Yang Evil Saint's face.
Xiao Yan, who had been retreating, stopped and looked at the Yin-Yang Evil Saint with an embarrassed but polite smile.
"Senior's strength is extraordinary; this junior still thinks it's best to ensure safety first!"
"What you say is indeed correct, but unfortunately... it's already too late."
The Yin-Yang Evil Saint chuckled, and that caused both of their expressions to change drastically!
He lightly tapped his finger, and the ancient ruins space paused slightly. The next moment, Xiao Yan felt that the space outside the altar had become much more solidified.
An invisible spatial wall had suddenly formed.
Xiao Yan gathered all his strength, focusing it, and slammed it against the spatial wall. However, his attack didn't even make a ripple.
"What exactly do you want?" Xiao Yan glanced at the smiling Yin-Yang Evil Saint. According to the information, this person was both righteous and evil in life, acting without restraint. He was a very dangerous individual.
"What do I want?" The Yin-Yang Evil Saint let out a strange laugh. "You came here, didn't you, to obtain my Inheritance and Heavenly Flame? Of course, I'm going to bestow upon you a great opportunity."
"What's the condition?" Xiao Yan wasn't surprised by the other's words; instead, he felt even more tense.
"Hehe, there are no conditions," the Yin-Yang Evil Saint shook his head.
The next moment, he slightly extended his palm forward.
"Boom!" The ancient city, which had been relatively calm, suddenly shook. The next instant, a giant energy hand, hundreds of meters in size, condensed in the air.
A terrifying suction force suddenly erupted from the palm. The Dou Huang experts scattered in every corner of the ruins were uncontrollably sucked into the palm.
"You little brats have gotten quite a lot from me these past few days. One must learn to be content." A voice, weathered by time, echoed within the ancient city. The next moment, a massive hand swept across the space.
The group of Dou Huang experts, their Dou Qi wings spread wide, were flung into a spatial tunnel like flies.
The ancient city, which had still held some signs of life, was now left with only Xiao Yan and Yao Ling.
"Tsk tsk, excellent, very excellent." The Yin-Yang Evil Saint's gaze swept over them, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.
"I originally thought that being a Grade 7 alchemist before the age of thirty would be enough to inherit my legacy. But who knew that before I fade away, I would meet such a monstrous genius."
He looked at them with even more satisfaction.
One was a fifteen-year-old Grade 7 Intermediate alchemist, and the other was an eighteen-year-old Grade 7 Advanced alchemist. Such soul talent was rare, even after he had become a Saint.
"Is this person really just going to give us his Inheritance?" Xiao Yan's face showed suspicion.
He was always inclined to assume the worst of others, ready for the moment they revealed their most despicable side and how he should respond.
A strong individual who acts without restraint and is prone to mood swings often signals danger.

Outside the Evil Saint's Ruins, a group of strong individuals were waiting. Those who emerged from the ruins had already been tainted by the intense curse.
If their companions didn't quickly take them to eat seafood, they would soon go mad.
Many of these irrational strong individuals would forget what treasures they possessed. The first thing they'd want to do upon exiting was to eat seafood immediately.
Once, a Dou Huang emerged and immediately headed for a seafood restaurant. However, when he regained his senses, he found that not only were the treasures he obtained from the ruins gone, but even the storage ring containing his original treasures was missing.
Therefore, the strong individuals who exited quickly handed over the treasures they obtained to their companions or backers.
Given that many Dou Huangs and even more powerful individuals were among those waiting, the Black Wind Sect, as the local authority, naturally set up a temporary reception area here.
Just as these strong individuals were waiting, a violent spatial fluctuation came from the entrance of the ancient city, which had been calm. The next moment, nearly a hundred Dou Huang-level experts were spat out like flies.
Then, the spatial passage closed.
"What's going on!" The expressions of the group of strong individuals, who had been leisurely drinking tea, changed. Among them, the expressions of the two elders, Xiao Wu and Xiao Wen, and the two old women from the Yao Clan changed the most drastically.
Because the young masters of their two clans hadn't come out.
"Not good, what's happening?" Xiao Wu's body trembled.
The aura of a Half-Saint erupted without reservation, directly scaring the surrounding strong individuals to the point where they almost prostrated themselves on the ground. Even the two Dou Zun-level experts sitting there had their expressions change drastically, revealing looks of shock.
"I'll tear down this broken ruin and rescue the young master!" Xiao Wu roared, but was grabbed by a hand.
"If you force it, it will cause the ruin to explode, and the young master will be in even more danger then."
"If something happens to Young Master, we're both in deep trouble," Xiao Wu said, his face etched with anxiety.
"Just wait a moment. I believe that a young man favored by the Clan Ancestor won't easily get into such a situation."
Xiao Wen's expression was relatively calm, but the two old women from the Yao Clan who overheard their conversation had their expressions change.
They exchanged a glance, a look of disbelief in their eyes. These two were talking about the Clan Ancestor, not the Clan Head.
The Clan Ancestor of the Xiao Clan... besides that supreme being in the world, who else could it be?
