Chapter 573: Regretful Xiao Yan

Putting aside the hatred between Xiao Yan and her husband Lin Feng, when she attacked the Jia Ma Empire she sent her subordinates to capture Xiao Yan's two older brothers and hand them over to the Soul Hall.

She doesn't think that once the other side knows the truth, they can let her go.

After all, she heard Lin Feng say that Xiao Yan cares deeply about his closest relatives and his teacher.

And when Xiao Yan saw Lin Feng, his expression also turned to extreme shock.

He had no psychological preparation at all for encountering Lin Feng here.

In his eyes, although Lin Feng has decent talent, his humble background and, unlike him, never met a good teacher.

At most, he could only dominate a region within Heijiaoyu.

However, he didn't expect that Lin Feng not only arrived in the Dan Realm.

And from the Alchemist medal on his chest, it appears he has become a Seventh Grade Pinnacle Alchemist!

"Could he be the Lin Feng that has been the talk of the Dan Realm lately?"

Seeing that Seventh Grade Pinnacle Alchemist medal, Xiao Yan immediately reached a conclusion.

Unless this world is so coincidental that two young men both named Lin Feng arrive in the Dan Realm simultaneously, and both are Seventh Grade Pinnacle Alchemists.

Otherwise, the Dan Tower has only this one Lin Feng who is a Seventh Grade Pinnacle Alchemist!

"However, although meeting this Lin Feng here surprises me greatly, his appearing before me means I might be able to obtain the Qinglian Earth Core Fire he possesses."

The thought made a flash of greed flicker in Xiao Yan's eyes.

For a cultivator who practices the Burning Manual like him, exotic fire is exceedingly important.

Without enough exotic fire, his ceiling is practically fixed.

As for converting techniques?

That also requires him to endure the damage from multiple exotic fires erupting inside his body!

"By the way, that woman also seems to have an exotic fire."

Regaining his composure, Xiao Yan turned his gaze back to Xiao Yixian.

He could feel that his exotic fire reacted toward that woman in the same way it did when he saw Lin Feng.

Thus, that woman must also harbor an exotic fire.

However, relying on his Seventh Grade High-level soul power, he could faintly sense that the white‑clothed woman is extremely powerful.

Acquiring the exotic fire would be exceedingly difficult for him.

At this moment, Lin Feng released the waists of the two women and slowly walked toward Xiao Yan.

Seeing the scene before her, Ye Xinlan also sensed something amiss, and immediately asked Xiao Yixian beside her, "Sister Xian Er, does your husband know that person?"

Xiao Yixian replied, "When Lin Feng just successfully formed a Battle Qi vortex, he scavenged a low‑level Mysterious Tier Battle Technique, which Xiao Yan then snatched away."

As she gradually understood the feud between Lin Feng and Xiao Yan, Ye Xinlan's gaze toward Xiao Yan also turned unfriendly.

At the same time, some people nearby also recognized the two.

Seeing that something seemed amiss, many people gathered around to join the excitement.

"What, do you intend to make a move on me here?"

Seeing Lin Feng walking slowly toward him, Xiao Yan's gaze swept over the onlookers, and he frowned, saying.

At the same time, Battle Qi surged rapidly within his body.

Although this is the Dan Tower and the crowd is dense, making it unlikely the other would dare strike, he still wouldn't be careless.

After all, the other is a cultivator who once defeated a Two‑Star Battle Sovereign.

"Hehe, I have no interest in making a move against you right now."

Seeing his wary expression, Lin Feng let out a light laugh.

Putting aside the surrounding crowd, as he approached Xiao Yan, he felt a faint gaze watching him.

Clearly, strong figures within the Dan Tower are now watching the situation here.

That is understandable, since Xiao Yan's ties with the three great leaders of the Dan Tower are likely known to all core members now.

Now that Xiao Yan has arrived at this trading venue, those people naturally pay extra attention to his movements.

Therefore, in front of such a large audience, he certainly won't strike Xiao Yan.

After all, such a thankless, arduous act is something only a fool would attempt.

After Lin Feng reached Xiao Yan's side, he immediately sneered, "Come to think of it, I owe my current achievements to you."

"Thank me?"

Hearing that, Xiao Yan was momentarily bewildered; he didn't recall ever owing him any favor!

"If it weren't for you forcibly buying the only valuable item I had, which left me completely without any cultivable techniques at the time, I might have just chosen a city on the Northwest Continent to dominate, taken dozens of concubines and lived out my life, and never risked killing that One‑Star Alchemist Liu Xi, nor climbed step by step to where I am now."

Hearing his words, Xiao Yan's pupils suddenly contracted sharply.

Memories deep in his mind rushed up all at once.

He had heard some rumors about the disappearance of the One‑Star Alchemist Liu Xi back in Wutan City.

But he never expected it was this person who did it.

Moreover, he hadn't imagined that his greed for a low‑level Mysterious Tier Battle Technique would cause such a huge impact!

"What? Xiao Yan previously even forcibly bought Lin Feng's battle technique; this time is interesting."

"Yeah, the question is whether they'll fight each other soon."

"I'm also curious."

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, the onlookers erupted into heated discussion.

After all, anyone who could get here must be sharp‑witted.

Seeing Xiao Yan's demeanor, they basically guessed the truth of Lin Feng's words.

Watching the intense discussion around him, Xiao Yan's brows furrowed instantly.

If Lin Feng says this in a public setting, then from now on everyone throughout the Dan Tower will have to be on guard against him.

In that case, how will he manage to get by in the Dan Tower in the future?

"If time could be turned back, no matter how difficult it was then, I would definitely eliminate Lin Feng, eradicating any future trouble forever!"

Xiao Yan silently gritted his teeth, his fists clenched tightly.

After all, being on the radar of a genius whose talent exceeds one's own is no fun at all.

But who could have guessed that a poor youngster back then could actually come this far today?

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he instantly turned his head and walked toward the two women—Xiao Yixian and Ye Xinlan—waiting for him in the distance.

Immediately thereafter, under Xiao Yan's greedy yet wary gaze, he held the two women's supple waists and proceeded toward other areas of the hall.

As for the onlooking crowd, they let out a sigh of disappointment.

Today's show, I'm afraid there's nothing left to watch.

Immediately, the disappointed onlookers departed in groups of three or five.

The previously bustling venue once again opened up, becoming spacious.
