Chapter 899: Xiao Yan, Who Mang Tian Chi Has His Eye On

However, as soon as his words fell, he seemed to have thought of something.

Immediately afterwards, he flapped his wings wildly while running away, turning his head to look at the person beside him.

As his gaze shifted, he could clearly see the appearance of that figure.

This person appeared to be quite old, with a head full of pale, scattered hair.

At the same time, perhaps due to being attacked earlier by those black demonic thunderbolts from behind.

His silver robe was now more than half torn, looking extremely disheveled.

However, although this old man looked quite disheveled, he still gave off a feeling of being full of energy.

It seemed as if the world‑destroying black thunderbolts behind him could not inflict much harm on him.

"This guy, could he be the Thunder Clan's Mang Tian Chi?"

Gazing at the silver‑robed old man beside him, Lin Feng thought to himself.

As for the old man beside him, when he heard Lin Feng tell him to deal with those thunderbolts, his previous momentum instantly waned, and he grudgingly said, "If they weren't all gathered together, this old man could easily kill them."

As soon as his words fell, he immediately turned his curious gaze to the pair of wings behind Lin Feng and said, "How come you, a Heavenly Demon Phoenix person, run onto the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan's turf to play around? Aren't you afraid they'll spot you and swallow you whole?"

"I'm not from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan, so of course I'm not afraid of the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan."

Hearing that, Lin Feng spread his hands and said casually.

After speaking, he curiously asked, "Senior, I'm Lin Feng, an Eighth Grade High‑level alchemist. What's your name, senior? I know quite a few strong ones on the continent. How come I've never seen someone like you before? Could you be from an ancient power?"

"Eighth Grade High‑level alchemist?"

Upon hearing those words, the old man's face instantly showed a hint of surprise.

After all, in his perception, the young man named Lin Feng is estimated to be no older than thirty.

Yet at such a young age, he has already become an Eighth Grade High‑level alchemist.

Such talent, even within the Medicine Clan, would be considered upper‑middle tier.

Immediately afterwards, he came to his senses and laughed heartily: "You really guessed right, kid. I'm Mang Tian Chi, a member of the Dou Emperor clan, of the Thunder Clan. You hadn't heard of me before, which is normal—after all, we of the Seven Ancient Clans rarely wander the continent. Moreover, I've been training in this thunder pool for decades, so you wouldn't get any news about me."

"Mang Tian Chi? Could you be the founder of the Canaan Academy?"

Upon hearing that name, Lin Feng first feigned surprise, then exclaimed in shock.

"Eh, you kid still know that I founded the Canaan Academy?"

Hearing the other party instantly name the academy he once founded, he too felt a sudden astonishment.

Seeing the other's expression, Lin Feng lightly laughed: "I, the junior, am also acquainted with Elder Su Qian. Back then, I happened to obtain a Falling Heart Flame. Thus, after Xiao Yan stole the inner courtyard's heavenly fire, I helped the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower re‑infuse the Falling Heart Flame so it could operate normally."

As for Mang Tian Chi, seeing that the former could so clearly describe the situation of the Canaan Academy's inner courtyard, he too began to ponder.

"I recall now—several years ago, Su Qian's message to me indeed mentioned this."

After pondering for a while, the former also managed to retrieve some information about Lin Feng from his memory.

A few years ago, that little rascal Su Qian had indeed told him that the Falling Heart Flame in the Canaan Academy's inner courtyard had been stolen.

Then a pharmacist named Lin Feng also possessed a Falling Heart Flame and successfully helped them activate the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower.

Thinking of this, Mang Tian Chi immediately turned his head to Lin Feng and said, "Speaking of this, we owe it largely to you; otherwise, the Canaan Academy would probably be ruined more than half."

While speaking, Mang Tian Chi couldn't help but think of that fire‑thief, and his expression turned grim as he said, "Damn it,

that brat Xiao Yan actually dared to steal it right from under my nose. If I ever get the chance to meet him, I will surely cripple him and then take back the Falling Heart Flame!"

"Senior, you'll be disappointed— that brat is now the boyfriend of the Ancient Clan's miss, Gu Xun'er, so you probably won't get a chance to retrieve the heavenly fire."

Hearing the former's words, Lin Feng "kindly" explained.

"Ancient Clan?"

Indeed, upon hearing those two words, Mang Tian Chi's pale brows immediately knit together.

Although he is of the Thunder Clan, there are few forces on the continent that can make him feel wary.

But this Ancient Clan is one of those few.

After all, Gu Yuan is one of only two peak nine‑star Battle Sage experts in the present age, and his deterrent power needs no explanation.

However, seeing that Lin Feng knew Xiao Yan's situation so clearly, he immediately grew curious and asked, "Kid, how do you know Xiao Yan so well? Could it be that you have a grudge against him?"

"Yeah, that guy loves to collect heavenly fires, and the heavenly fire on my body also became his target. Back then, both of us were disciples of the Xiao Dan Tower, and because he coveted my heavenly fire, he once summoned several Battle Saint experts to ambush and kill me. In the end, because of this incident, Xiao Yan was expelled from the Xiao Dan Tower."

In response to his question, Lin Feng also gave a rough rundown of that earlier incident.

"No wonder you're so familiar with him— it turns out there was this matter."

After hearing the former's words, Mang Tian Chi nodded in sudden realization.

And in his heart, he silently noted that brat Xiao Yan.

If he ever gets the chance to meet him, even if he can't retrieve the Falling Heart Flame, he will certainly not let the other off easy.

After all, his nature is to repay grudges and return favors.

The matter of the Falling Heart Flame is not something he can easily swallow— humph.

"However, your flight combat technique is really not bad. This pair of wings is practically like real phoenix wings, with battle qi flowing inside. I'd say the method to refine this flight combat technique is probably of the heavenly tier."

Temporarily setting aside the matter of Xiao Yan, Mang Tian Chi's attention was again drawn to the pair of purple‑gold wings, several dozen zhang long, behind Lin Feng.

"Hey, how could that compare to you seniors of these ancient clans? Among your Thunder Clan, who still needs flight combat techniques? Heavenly‑tier body techniques are probably not rare either."

Upon hearing that, Lin Feng inadvertently sidestepped the topic and laughed.

Although he knows that if the other party learned he possessed the Dragon‑Phoenix bloodline, they would surely think more highly of him.

But he currently does not want the Dragon‑Phoenix matter to spread all over the continent, bringing more trouble to East Dragon Island.

Therefore, after a brief consideration, he still chose to avoid this topic.
