Chapter 371: Strange Phenomena on the Demon Fire Plain

"I agree to the matter between you two." Pushing Xiao Han and the bewildered Yi Huang out the door, Ye Jianxin tossed the Storage Ring in his hand and said with a chuckle,

"Now, you two can pack your things and leave. From now on, I am the boss of Langya Pavilion!"

"What exactly is inside the Storage Ring?" Yi Huang looked at Ye Jianxin's silly grin with concern, "How did he end up like this?"

Xiao Han transmitted his voice calmly: "Nothing much, just a few dozen Heaven Tier cultivation methods and Dou Techniques."

It was not that Xiao Han was intentionally being humble; this was truly what he thought in his heart.

His current combat system was already quite complete. His cultivation method was the Heaven Tier Advanced cultivation method, the *Ice Emperor Canon*, which could be called one of the highest-level cultivation methods on the Dou Qi Continent—the legacy cultivation method of the ancient legendary Imperial, the Ice Spirit Great Emperor. How could it be bad?

In terms of Dou Techniques, he possessed four self-created spear techniques and various other Dou Techniques. The spear focused on offense, the domain assisted in trapping enemies and adding buffs, and if those failed, there were sealing Dou Techniques and arrays as supplements. After a full set of operations, Xiao Han had truly never seen an opponent who could withstand it.

Adding it all up, there were roughly five Heaven Tier Dou Techniques that perfectly suited his combat style, and the others could be treated as minor skills to be tossed out at will.

If it weren't for the fact that these cultivation methods were of a high enough grade, and that there was a large group of Disciples and Elders in Langya Pavilion waiting to be fed, Xiao Han would have been too lazy to go and retrieve them.

The look Yi Huang cast toward Xiao Han became increasingly strange. Just who gave you the confidence to not take Heaven Tier Dou Techniques and cultivation methods seriously?

But she immediately thought that, regardless, this was her own man, and her heart was filled with pride.

Having already accepted Xiao Han's statement in her heart, she still mocked him with her mouth: "Look at you, so capable."

As she spoke, she walked forward first. Looking back at Xiao Han, who remained in place, she asked in confusion: "You aren't coming?"

"Coming?"

"Pack your things. This young lady is going to the Extreme North this time."

Yi Huang tossed her head, her three thousand strands of dark hair scattering with the wind. With her fair little hands behind her back, she walked into the distance with a sway, revealing a youthful liveliness quite different from her usual temperament.

"Wait for me." Xiao Han realized what was happening, and he couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face as he hurriedly chased after her.

As the backs of Xiao Han and Yi Huang gradually faded into the distance, Ye Jianxin, who had been standing there grinning foolishly, returned to normal at some point, a look of gratification appearing on his lazy face.

"How is it?"

"Is the appeal of Heaven Tier Dou Techniques that great?"

A cold, aloof figure appeared quietly beside Ye Jianxin and asked indifferently.

"So what if they are Heaven Tier Dou Techniques?" Ye Jianxin's expression was calm; he also did not take Heaven Tier Dou Techniques to heart.

Aside from some particularly pathetic newly ascended Saints, aren't Heaven Tier Dou Techniques the basic requirement for a Saint-level powerhouse?

Furthermore, when one's own learning is not lacking, why bother affecting one's own cultivation path for a few cultivation methods or Dou Techniques? It is completely not worth the loss.

"Then why did you..."

Agree to them?

As the saying goes, things of a kind gather together, and people of a group divide. The reason the three of them could forge such a profound friendship was not simply because they were all geniuses, but more so because of the similarity in their ways of handling the world and their behavioral habits.

Like Xiao Han, Ye Jianxin was also a guy who acted willfully when he was young and disliked being constrained.

Even though he had become much more steady as time passed, taking over a super power like Langya Pavilion was, for him, even more agonizing than fighting a life-and-death battle.

Sensing the confusion of Jing Tian Lin Jing, Ye Jianxin smiled, though it appeared somewhat lecherous in the latter's eyes.

"Now that all matters are concluded, it is the perfect time to spend some time in a world for two."

"As a brother, I naturally have to help bridge the gap."

"What's more..."

"Hehehe~" Ye Jianxin said nonchalantly: "The operation of Langya Pavilion is already perfected. Even if the three of us don't manage things, those guys in the Elder group aren't just sitting around doing nothing."

"And now, who with no eyes would dare to stir up any trouble?"

Hearing this, Jing Tian Lin Jing rolled her eyes. This intention to be a hands-off Pavilion Master was not hidden at all!

"By the way, what brings you here this time?" Ye Jianxin suddenly remembered something. This person before him was someone who would never visit a temple without a reason.

"Nothing much." Jing Tian Lin Jing's cold, aloof eyes flickered slightly, "Just suddenly remembered some things and wanted to discuss them with the Pavilion Master."

"However..." She looked in the direction Xiao Han had left, "It will be the same when the Pavilion Master returns."

Having said that, she turned and left immediately, her pace much faster than before, leaving behind a graceful back for the bewildered Ye Jianxin.

Demon Fire Plain. Two years ago, this place was still a region of towering mountains and ridges. However, it had now become a white plain. Huge cracks, thousands of feet long and resembling centipedes, were distributed across this land that still emitted a scorching aura. From time to time, some rogue cultivators would come here to explore.

Of course, all of this was on the condition of obtaining permission from the Heavenly Mansion, one of the overlords of the Central Plains. After experiencing that grand war that people still remembered vividly to this day, the status of the Heavenly Mansion had been acknowledged by all the powers in the Central Plains.

Not to mention the power of the Heavenly Mansion, its Mansion Master, the Medicine Saint, was also a Ninth-Grade Profound Pill Alchemist rare in the world. If one angered him, there would be no need to even make a move; a mere mention would be enough to easily flatten the vast majority of powers in the Central Plains and even the entire continent.

The background was even more not to be underestimated. The Medicine Saint's disciple, Xiao Yan, was the most outstanding young generation of the re-emerging Xiao Clan. He stood in mutual support with the other overlord of the Central Plains, Langya Pavilion, and was on good terms with many Ancient Races and top-tier powers. His allies were incredibly strong.

Due to the contributions of the Heavenly Mansion back then, many powers had tacitly and consciously yielded the Demon Fire Plain, a place of great significance to the Heavenly Mansion.

However, the Heavenly Mansion's appetite was not ugly; they merely established a regular branch to observe the movements of the Demon Fire Plain. Everyone knew that this branch was established precisely for that Xiao Yan who had fallen into the Demon Fire Space and was in grave danger.

On the Demon Fire Plain, a small team of over twenty people was moving at high speed. The aura of the leader had reached the Dou Zun realm, and the strength of the people behind them had also reached the level of high-tier Commandants. The badges on their clothing indicated that they belonged to the Heavenly Mansion Alliance.

"Sigh!" One of them suddenly let out a sigh.

"How much time has passed, and there is still no news."

"Captain, could it be..."

"Shut up!" The Captain immediately barked, his eyes staring coldly at the team member who had spoken, and he said sternly: "We only need to complete the mission assigned by our superiors."

"Don't talk too much about other things."

"Yes." After the Captain's warning, that team member also realized the impropriety of his words and hurriedly closed his mouth.

At this moment, the Captain also sighed inwardly. He knew exactly what his team member wanted to say. With no news for two whole years, most people in the Heavenly Mansion no longer held out hope, and they could only lament that Heaven was jealous of talent, causing them to lose a brilliant Young Mansion Master.

However, the Mansion Master refused to believe it and just kept guarding the Demon Fire Plain like this. He could only admire the deep master-disciple bond between the Mansion Master and the Young Mansion Master.

If it were possible, he, a small character, would be willing to sacrifice his future bachelorhood in exchange for...

Damn it!

What is going on?

Everyone stopped in unison, staring in astonishment at the vortex that had suddenly appeared in front of them.

The moment they saw the figure walking out of the vortex clearly, everyone, including the Captain, had their jaws drop to the floor.

"Is the Heavens playing a joke on me?" A strange thought suddenly drilled into the Captain's mind.
