Chapter 72: Imminent Childbirth

The Burning Flame Valley, having lost its Sect Leader, was like a giant ship that had lost its backbone, teetering on the turbulent sea.

And the disappearance of Huoyun Laozu made this chaos even worse, because he was the legend of the Burning Flame Valley and the spiritual pillar in the hearts of countless elders and disciples.

Such a big thing happened, which was simply not something the elders of the Burning Flame Valley could suppress, and this news spread across the Zhongzhou land like a wildfire.

The originally calm Zhongzhou set off a huge uproar because of this incident.

"The Sect Leader and Huoyun Laozu of the Burning Flame Valley have actually disappeared at the same time?"

In the bustling teahouse, a piece of news was like a stone thrown into water, stirring up layers of ripples. People's discussions rose and fell, their faces full of surprise and curiosity.

"Who is Huoyun Laozu?" Someone asked curiously.

"You don't even know this?" A middle-aged man beside him widened his eyes, as if the other person had asked an extremely simple question, making it seem like he knew a lot.

"Brother, don't keep us in suspense; tell us quickly."

With his vanity satisfied, the middle-aged man then began to talk eloquently.

The atmosphere in the teahouse became tense for a time; although people were discussing it, no one dared to delve deeper into this topic. The Sect Leader and Huoyun Laozu of the Burning Flame Valley disappeared at the same time; what kind of secrets and conspiracies were hidden behind this?

"Hiss, Dou Saint?"

"Which force did it?" Someone began to guess the black hand behind it.

"Brother, speak carefully, speak carefully!" The person beside him immediately reminded him; after all, this kind of topic involved major forces in the Jianghu, and once it spread, it might bring unnecessary trouble.

The disciples of the Burning Flame Valley were even more panic-stricken; they didn't know what kind of fate they would face in the future.

Obviously, this middle-aged man happened to know.

Some disciples chose to leave the Burning Flame Valley and seek another path.

Although Huoyun Laozu hadn't appeared for a long time, some forces in Zhongzhou knew of his existence.

"How is this possible? Who could make a Dou Saint powerhouse disappear?" Another guest also exclaimed.

Dou Saint—that was a legendary realm, enough to set off a storm in the Jianghu.

"Yeah, is this news true or false? It wouldn't be a rumor, would it?" Someone began to doubt the authenticity of this news.

"You don't know, this Huoyun Laozu is a legendary figure of the Burning Flame Valley, his strength is even stronger than the Sect Leader, it is said that he has reached the Dou Saint level, he is the Supreme Ancestor of the Burning Flame Valley, and also the strongest person in the Burning Flame Valley."

"It can't be a rumor; I heard that the interior of the Burning Flame Valley is already in a mess, people are panic-stricken, and even the disciples are beginning to guess whether they have been attacked by a powerful enemy." Seeing them doubt him, the middle-aged man felt very unhappy.

But no matter which statement it was, it could not cover up the huge impact this incident brought to the Burning Flame Valley.

"Besides the Soul Hall and the Pill Tower, which other force could do this." A big man said recklessly after hearing it.

The onlookers all gasped, obviously shocked by this information.

People speculated about the reasons and motives behind this, some saying they were plotted against by enemies, others saying it was for the Burning Flame Valley's Nine Dragons Lightning Flame.

Some disciples began to secretly contact other forces, seeking protection.

Such discussions could be heard in every corner of Zhongzhou.

After all, when Tang Zhen and Huoyun Laozu were still there, some hostile forces dared not act, but now that they had disappeared, those forces would definitely not miss this opportunity.

The entire Burning Flame Valley seemed to have become a precarious isolated island, which could be swallowed by giant waves at any time.

The disappearance of a Dou Saint powerhouse made some forces in Zhongzhou feel panic-stricken, fearing that this kind of thing would happen to themselves.

The reactions of the forces in Zhongzhou were different; some chose to secretly strengthen their defenses, while others began to inquire about news everywhere.

However, in the Dou Di clans, this matter did not seem to cause much of a stir.

The Dou Di clans possessed a long history and powerful strength, and Dou Saint powerhouses emerged in large numbers in the clan.

Therefore, for a first-class force like the Burning Flame Valley that had a one-star Dou Saint sitting in charge, they did not take it seriously.

Or it could be said that they, who possessed the Dou Di bloodline, were arrogant.

They looked down on those who did not have the Dou Di bloodline, even if they had broken through to Dou Saint and were stronger than most of them.

As for the Burning Flame Valley's inheritance Strange Fire, the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame, the clans were not without the thought of snatching it over to refine, especially the Yan Clan and the Yao Clan.

But they also knew that this Strange Fire had been imprinted by the Burning Flame Ancestor, so even if they snatched it, it would be difficult to erase.

Otherwise, how could a one-star Dou Saint like Huoyun Laozu guard this Nine Dragons Lightning Flame?

As for the initiator of this incident, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing, he did not care about the changes in the outside world at all, only caring about two things in his heart: practice and accompanying Cai Lin.

Cai Lin was now pregnant, and Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing guarded her side without leaving her side.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, two years passed. Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds during this period. He not only successfully compressed his Dou Qi but also successfully reached the realm of a two-turn Dou Zun.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing achieving such a huge breakthrough in just two years was indeed shocking.

For the Jiang Family, this was undoubtedly something to be happy about, especially his grandfather Jiang Cheng, who felt incomparably relieved and proud.

Besides practicing Dou Qi, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing also used this time to refine puppets.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's talent and efforts in this aspect made him achieve no small success in puppet arts.

Two months ago, he finally successfully refined the body of Huoyun Laozu into a puppet.

Although this puppet could not use battle skills and had no intelligence, its strength was still not to be underestimated.

Huoyun Laozu was a one-star Dou Saint before his death; even if his puppet was somewhat weakened, its combat power was enough to rival a high-level Half-Saint powerhouse.

This result made Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's confidence increase greatly; he believed that he would soon be able to use the bodies of the three great Dragon Kings to refine more powerful puppets.

A one-star Dou Saint level body could refine a puppet with the strength of a high-level Half-Saint; Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's heart was full of anticipation.

Anticipating how powerful the puppets refined with the bodies of the three great Dragon Kings would be.

One-star Dou Saint? Two-star Dou Saint?

Moreover, this puppet could absorb the power of thunder to strengthen itself.

Therefore, after those three puppets were refined, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing planned to throw them into the Void Lightning Pool of the Ancient Dragon Island.

When they were taken out, their strength would definitely be even more powerful.

Cai Lin had been pregnant for three years; at this time, her belly was already bulging high.

Her temperament also became increasingly gentle and delicate.

The sharpness that once belonged to the Medusa Queen, as if dissolved by the dew in the morning sun, had long since quietly faded away unknowingly.
