Chapter 521: The Targeted Endless Fire Territory

Endless Fire Territory.

Xiao Yan, Xiao Xuan, Gu Yuan...

A group of powerhouses sat in their seats, their expressions grave.

"Is there something wrong with the Mohe Ancient Clan's brains? Do we have any grievances with them?"

"An innocent man is innocent, but his treasure makes him a target; they are simply bullying the weak and fearing the strong."

Xiao Xuan held a teacup in his hand, his expression carrying a sneer.

"According to a senior I became acquainted with at the Da Qian Pavilion, this Mohe Tian has only recently been confirmed as Clan Leader and urgently needs to establish merit to solidify his position."

"The relationships between the older, powerful factions in the Da Qian World are deeply intertwined and rooted; pulling one hair affects the whole body. Even with the might of the Mohe Ancient Clan, they wouldn't dare to strike without reason."

"Yet our Endless Fire Territory was just founded, the strength we have displayed is not considered too great, our foundations are not deep, and we have a top-tier Alchemist like Xiao Yan—we are the perfect target."

Before the Endless Fire Territory was founded, the Territory Lord Xiao Yan had already become a renowned Alchemist in the Da Qian World. After its founding, by utilizing the special alchemy techniques of the Dou Qi Continent, he quickly established a sizable alchemy department. The quality of the Medicinal Pills produced could almost rival those of the top Da Qian alchemy faction, the Ancient Myriad Grass Plains. As time passed, standing on equal footing with them would not be difficult, and the profits could be described as bringing in a fortune every day.

Shallow foundations, strength not considered too great, and yet wealthy—such a big piece of fat meat, many factions are thinking of taking a bite. The only thing unprincipled about the Mohe Ancient Clan is that these guys want to take the whole pot!

Ever since his strength recovered, Xiao Xuan went straight to the Da Qian Pavilion and stayed on the Outer Realm Battlefield from then on. In just over ten years, he rose to fame and was highly regarded by the senior elders of the Da Qian Palace, knowing full well about certain secrets.

Learning this time that the Endless Fire Territory and Xiao Yan were in trouble, he, as an ancestor, naturally rushed back without stopping. Except for Xiao Xuan, Gu Yuan and the others were all roaming the Da Qian World and rushed back temporarily. Zhu Kun is with the True Dragon Clan in the Da Qian World; the distance is vast, so he has not yet returned.

"Xiao Yan, the Mohe Ancient Clan is not some small fry. Mohe Tian is even the next-generation Clan Leader confirmed by the Mohe Ancient Clan, and his strength is formidable. Are you sure you want to deal with him alone?"

Xiao Xuan warned Xiao Yan with a grave expression, but the latter was incomparably calm, his tone firm.

"Ancestor, this matter must be resolved by me personally. I want to let the Mohe Ancient Clan and the people of the Da Qian World see that our Endless Fire Territory is not something to be trifled with."

At this moment, he still held an invitation in his hand, which was an "invitation" to the Endless Fire Territory from the Mohe Ancient Clan's next-generation Clan Leader, Mohe Tian.

The Mohe Ancient Clan "invited" the Endless Fire Territory to join under the Mohe Ancient Clan's banner. The arrogance and posture of an ancient great clan were fully displayed in their words, aggressive and overbearing, almost clearly intending to forcibly seize the foundation of the Endless Fire Territory.

When the Endless Fire Territory was first founded, the veterans, apart from the several great spirit clans of the Da Qian World like the Fire Spirit Clan, were a group of powerhouses who came to the Da Qian World from the Dou Qi Continent, including Xiao Xuan and others. Which one of them was not a titan in the Dou Qi Continent, a being who could summon wind and rain? Their tempers might not be explosive, but they were not people to be driven by others either.

So what if it's the Mohe Ancient Clan? They even survived the world-ending war against the Outer Realm Evil Clan back then; are they afraid of a Mohe Tian who bullies the weak and fears the strong!

Amidst the indignation, everyone remained calm. The comparison of strength between the Endless Fire Territory and the Mohe Ancient Clan was right before their eyes; the gap was indeed a little bit there.

As for how big the gap is?

See for yourself.

This is also the reason why Xiao Yan hopes to resolve Mohe Tian. Catch the ringleader to catch the gang; once the latter is taken down, the Mohe Ancient Clan, whose fighting spirit was not strong to begin with, would likely retreat. The Endless Fire Territory, surrounded by wolves, would then have time to develop.

"Are you sure you don't need that kid Xiao Han to step in?"

Xiao Xuan confirmed one last time.

Having mingled in the Da Qian Palace, he deeply understood the brilliance of Xiao Han's battle record. Those senior elders never stinted on their praise when mentioning Xiao Han, lauding him as if he were peerless in heaven and earth—he had quite a reputation!

With that posture, Xiao Xuan did not doubt at all that as long as Xiao Han spoke up, he wouldn't dare say Saint Grade powerhouses, but he could definitely pull in a group of Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereigns!

As long as Xiao Han stepped in, and provided the Mohe Ancient Clan's Saint Grade old fogeys didn't show up, Mohe Tian would be left helpless.

"Ancestor, rest assured. Xiao Yan has already sent a letter to the Ancestor, asking him to step in and block them when my Endless Fire Territory truly cannot hold out."

"Regardless of the outcome, my Endless Fire Territory must also display its own strength."

Xiao Yan explained in a relaxed tone.

"You are prepared to let the Endless Fire Territory confront the Mohe Ancient Clan's forces alone?"

Inside the study, Yi Huang and Ye Jianxin had read Xiao Yan's letter and looked at Xiao Han, who was sitting in an armchair drinking tea with a composed air.

"Can't I?"

Xiao Han's confidence was even more inflated than Xiao Yan's, who was the party involved.

"This is merely an annexation act by the Mohe Ancient Clan to solidify Mohe Tian's position; to put it clearly, it is a forced robbery."

"The Mohe Ancient Clan's Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign old fogeys cannot lower their faces to bully the younger generation. The Mohe Ancient Clan powerhouses who take action will not exceed half their number, at most ten or so Heavenly Sovereigns, and among them, even counting Mohe Tian, there cannot be more than five Immortal Grades."

"With this strength, it is difficult for Xiao Yan and the Endless Fire Territory to handle, but it is not impossible."

"The Endless Fire Territory's strength on paper is at most half of the powerhouses the Mohe Ancient Clan will mobilize. Isn't this gap obvious enough?"

Ye Jianxin frowned.

If he didn't understand Xiao Han's character, he would have suspected that the latter was prepared to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, refusing to save them from death.

"Why don't you go and lend a hand?"

Xiao Han suggested with a chuckle, seemingly completely unconcerned about the implications behind such an action.

"What exactly are you selling in your gourd?"

Ye Jianxin had also come to his senses; Xiao Han's relaxed performance did not conform to common sense.

"What if I said that Mohe Tian is no match for that kid Xiao Yan?"

"That wouldn't be the case, would it?"

Ye Jianxin was slightly startled, comparing the two in his mind.

"Although that kid Xiao Yan has decent strength, his cultivation has only just advanced to Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign."

"I heard that Mohe Tian's strength is already at the peak of Immortal Grade, and he is very likely to advance to Saint Grade in the future. Moreover, he has the foundation of the Mohe Ancient Clan, and his Supernatural Powers and Holy Artifacts are also top-tier. He shouldn't lose, right?"

"Shall we make a bet?"

"No bet!"

Ye Jianxin sneered at Xiao Han.

"How could I not know you? Although I don't know what you are relying on, whenever you are the one to propose a bet, it must never be accepted."

Xiao Han felt slightly disappointed and could only say at the end:

"Believe in them. If it truly becomes impossible in the end, it won't be too late for us to act."

Then, Xiao Han changed the subject, his tone grave.

"According to intelligence, the Outer Realm Evil Clan has started to become restless again during this period."

Regarding the Outer Realm Evil Clan, Ye Jianxin also set aside the previous topic and said solemnly:

"Have they consolidated enough strength and are preparing to attack again?"

In that battle back then, seven Demon Emperors were wiped out by Xiao Han in one go; even with the Man Mo Clan's vast resources, they could not withstand such losses, and it just so happened that their conventional forces could no longer deal with Xiao Han, while their only super-spec force, the Barbarian Demon Clan Leader, could not appear in the Da Qian World.

Adhering to the idea of sharing hardships, the Man Mo Clan reported the existence of Xiao Han and the Langya Heavenly Palace to their headquarters, reaching the highest ears; it is said that even the top leader of the entire Outer Realm Evil Clan—the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor—knows of Xiao Han's existence.

Good lad, this seat was just wondering why the nails in the Da Qian World had suddenly lost such a large chunk; since you are so capable, we cannot treat you poorly.

And so, for decades, the neighbors next to the Langya Heavenly Palace have taken turns appearing one after another, with major Evil Clan groups rotating to "exchange sentiments" with the Langya Heavenly Palace; it is likely that this time is much the same.

"It should be."

Xiao Han crossed his fingers, leaned his center of gravity forward, rested his chin on his knuckles, and said in a low tone,

"I have a premonition that this time, the Outer Realm Evil Clan's movements will not be too simple."
