Chapter 425: Star Fall Pavilion

Seeing Zi Yan's strange behavior, Xiao Yi Xian was also happy in her heart; after all, Zi Yan's perception of space was extremely strong, and seeing her so excited, it must mean Xiao Yan was about to come out.

Sure enough, a pitch-black hole suddenly appeared in the Xing Yu, and a figure walked out from within, a smile hanging on the corner of his mouth as he greedily inhaled the fresh air of the outside world.

"Hahaha! I, Hu Hansan, have returned!" Xiao Yan said, spreading his arms and laughing.

"Hurry and help me refine some pills! You ate so many of mine last time that I've long since run out of food!" Just as Xiao Yan was feeling happy, a purple figure appeared before him.

Looking at the pouting Zi Yan, Xiao Yan smiled helplessly and said, "I'll help you refine some in a moment!"

"I see your aura has increased significantly; I suppose your strength has made a flying leap after devouring the Three Thousand Burning Flame!" Xiao Yi Xian asked with a smile after looking Xiao Yan up and down.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan gave a faint smile and said, "It's alright! Barely managed to reach the Dou Zun level!"

Hearing this somewhat humble-bragging remark from Xiao Yan, Xiao Yi Xian rolled her eyes; she possessed the Woeful Poison Body, and breaking through to Dou Zun had been extremely difficult—she had nearly died—yet Xiao Yan had gone from Dou Zong to Dou Zun in just over a year.

Although Xiao Yan's strength had always been a mystery, Dou Qi had always been his weakest means, and now, his Dou Qi had finally broken through to the Dou Zun level as well.

Of course, Xiao Yan's greatest gain this time was the upgrade in the grade of his Exotic Fire; the Yin-Yang Dual Flame had successively devoured the sub-fire of the Xu Wu Tun Yan and the Three Thousand Burning Flame, not only strengthening its devouring ability but also gaining the ability to absorb the power of the starry sky.

It could be said that Xiao Yan's strength was now growing rapidly at every moment, and his recovery ability was even more terrifying; now, as long as Xiao Yan wasn't beaten into mincemeat, he simply couldn't be killed—the Undying Body wasn't just talk.

"Hahaha! Xiao Yan, you've finally come out of seclusion!" At this moment, Xuan Kong Zi and the people from the Pill Tower also arrived at Xiao Yan's side, looking at him and laughing.

Xiao Yan looked at the people from the Pill Tower, cupped his hands, and said, "Having taken the Pill Tower's Three Thousand Burning Flame this time, consider it a favor I owe the Pill Tower; if there are any errands in the future, Xiao Yan will certainly help."

Hearing Xiao Yan say this, the smile on Xuan Kong Zi's face grew even wider; he had learned of Xiao Yan's deeds from Yao Chen and admired him all the more.

Judging by Xiao Yan's talent and growth rate, the Pill Tower would inevitably need Xiao Yan's help in the future.

"Where is my teacher?" Xiao Yan asked, looking at Xuan Kong Zi in confusion as he did not see any trace of Yao Lao.

"Hehe, your teacher has returned to the Star Fall Pavilion; after all, your seclusion this time was not short, and the Heaven Alliance you founded has many affairs, so he went back to preside over the big picture," Xuan Kong Zi replied with a smile.

"You, the leader of the Heaven Alliance, have been missing for quite a while; it's time to go back and take a look," Xiao Yi Xian said, pursing her lips and smiling lightly at Xiao Yan.

Ever since Xiao Yi Xian's Woeful Poison Body erupted, Xiao Yan had entered Zhongzhou; counting the time, it had been over three years.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan was also a bit embarrassed; after all, the main purpose of founding the Heaven Alliance before was to collect medicinal herbs and resources, and he hadn't expected the Heaven Alliance to develop so quickly.

Before Yao Lao came to Sheng Dan Cheng, he had established Space Passages with his good friend Venerable Feng and some other Dou Zun powerhouses at the Star Fall Pavilion and some locations in the Northwest Continent to facilitate management. Now, the headquarters of the Heaven Alliance was also at the Star Fall Pavilion, so Xiao Yan didn't need to return to the Northwest Continent; he could just go directly to the Star Fall Pavilion.

However, the embarrassing thing for Xiao Yan was that he had no idea where the Star Fall Pavilion was. As a leader who didn't know where his own headquarters was, Xiao Yan was truly one of a kind.

Facing this absurd situation, Xuan Kong Zi and the others helplessly shook their heads and gave Xiao Yan a very detailed map of Zhongzhou.

The Star Fall Pavilion was located in the Southern Region of Zhongzhou and had the fewest disciples among the Four Square Pavilions. However, although the Star Fall Pavilion had few disciples, every single one had no lack of talent, because the Star Fall Pavilion never accepted mediocrities.

Additionally, among the Four Square Pavilions, the Star Fall Pavilion was the most low-key; the other three pavilions had built their headquarters to be magnificent and luxurious, while the Star Fall Pavilion's headquarters was extremely hidden, and almost no one had ever seen it.

The Star Fall Pavilion's headquarters was located within the Tian Xing Shan Mai and was isolated by a natural array; outsiders could only see a forest and were completely unable to enter it.

"After more than half the time spent on the road, we've finally arrived at this Tian Xing Shan Mai, but how are we supposed to get in?" Xiao Yan looked at the jungle in front of him, feeling a bit troubled; was he supposed to just destroy the array and barge in?

Although Xiao Yan had the strength to do so, he couldn't just do that! If he did, he would be laughed to death.

"It's just a broken array, is it really that big of a deal?" Seeing Xiao Yan feeling troubled, Zi Yan tossed a pill into her mouth, stretched out her fair arm, and swiped at the void. The space fluctuated, and a Space Passage immediately appeared.

"As expected of a Void Ancient Dragon, your control over space is truly incomparably proficient," Xiao Yan said speechlessly as he looked at the Space Passage in front of him, then stepped into it.

After the group passed through the Space Passage, they arrived at a mountain peak that towered into the clouds. The mountain was covered in buildings, beautiful beyond compare, and there were even cranes flying in the sky; it was truly like a fairyland.

"Caw!" Just as Xiao Yan was watching in fascination, a flock of cranes flew toward the direction of Xiao Yan and his group, and there were quite a few figures standing on the cranes.

"Who dares to trespass in the Star Fall Pavilion!" A green-clad female figure leaped down from a crane with a group of people and shouted at Xiao Yan and his group.

Looking at this somewhat unfamiliar girl in green, Xiao Yan awkwardly rubbed his nose; why did Yao Lao have to come back so early? If they had come back together, there wouldn't be so many awkward things.

If he were to fight, who would be responsible if he hurt someone? But if he didn't fight, was he supposed to just surrender?

"Who are you people? What is your business coming to the Star Fall Pavilion?" Seeing that Xiao Yan's group didn't look like they were there to attack the Star Fall Pavilion, the green-clad female figure immediately asked.

Seeing Xiao Yan fall into an awkward situation, Zi Yan pursed her lips and smiled lightly: "He is Xiao Yan, the leader of the Heaven Alliance!"

Xiao Yi Xian also shook her head helplessly; it was likely only Xiao Yan's family that would be interrogated while entering their own home.

"Xiao Yan? I feel like I've heard that name somewhere." Hearing this somewhat familiar name, the green-clad girl knitted her willow-leaf brows and began to think carefully.

However, just as the green-clad girl was thinking, a white-clad female figure who had been sitting on a white crane and hadn't come down with the others heard the name Xiao Yan and leaped directly off the back of the crane.

"Xiao Yan!" The white-clad girl looked at Xiao Yan, a look of joy appearing on her face.

"Senior Sister Nalan, you know this Xiao Yan?" The green-clad female figure looked at the white-clad girl and asked in confusion.

Hearing this, Nalan Yanran pursed her lips and smiled lightly: "Qing Luan, he is the leader of the Heaven Alliance! Although this leader doesn't really manage things!"

When Nalan Yanran said this, she also rolled her eyes at Xiao Yan, clearly very dissatisfied with him as a leader.
