447: battle of face

After half an hour of flight, the giant bird slowly landed on a large plaza.

Many figures gathered here, almost all dressed in Alchemist robes, resembling another Pill Domain.

However, compared to the grandeur of the Pill Gathering, the Alchemists here were clearly more powerful.

As everyone disembarked from the bird's back, they suddenly felt a powerful Aura approaching from a distance.

On the distant mountain peak, a large patch of fire clouds surged, following a red-haired Elder as he descended towards the plaza.

"It's Elder Wan Huo!"

"Who has arrived? To actually alarm Elder Wan Huo."

"Elder Wan Huo is a six-star Dou Saint expert; for him to personally come, the other party's identity must be extraordinary."

The surrounding Yao Clan Disciples, seeing the fire cloud, immediately recognized the powerful and highly esteemed Elder Wan Huo from their Clan, and their curious gazes began searching the bird's back.

At this moment, the people on the bird's back seemed to understand something, and their figures turned, countless gazes uniformly falling upon a young man.

Lin Xiu's lips held a faint smile, and feeling the Little Fairy Doctor's small hand suddenly clench, he gently squeezed it.

"Cultivation Alliance Chief Lin Xiu, welcome to the Yao Clan. I am Yao Wanhua, my Clan members like to call me Elder Wan Huo. The Clan Chief instructed that upon your arrival, you must be properly received."

Elder Wan Huo descended from the sky, landing steadily three meters in front of Lin Xiu, a warm smile appearing on his Face as he cupped his fist and bowed to Lin Xiu.

He secretly observed this young man.

He didn't look old, seemingly no different from the younger generation within the Clan.

But how could such a young man make the Clan Chief value him enough to personally intervene? What was so special about him?

"Elder Wan Huo is too kind."

Lin Xiu returned the smile, then pointed to the Little Fairy Doctor beside him, introducing her.

"Welcome, welcome."

Elder Wan Huo smiled, "Cultivation Alliance Chief Lin Xiu, your seat has been prepared. Both of you, please follow me."

He made an inviting gesture, and after seeing Lin Xiu nod, he stepped through the Void Realm and soared towards the distant mountain peak.

Lin Xiu and the Little Fairy Doctor, feeling the envious gazes converging around them, followed with unchanged expressions.

Once they left, the plaza inevitably erupted in another wave of excited murmurs.

"I wondered who it was, turns out it's the Cultivation Alliance Chief. He truly deserves Elder Wan Huo's personal attention."

"I've long heard stories about the Cultivation Alliance Chief, but this is the first time I've seen him up close. He's so young! How could someone so young, who has only Cultivated for so few years, reach such a terrifying level of power?"

"I've decided, from now on, Cultivation Alliance Chief Lin Xiu is my idol. I will learn from him and push myself."

"Wasn't your idol the Young Clan Leader before?"

The Yao Clan Disciples present whispered among themselves, their eyes and Faces revealing envy and admiration.

"All of you, are you done or not? Have you forgotten your duties? Hurry up and attend to the guests."

In the crowd, Yao Wangui stepped forward with a dark expression, his cold gaze sweeping over everyone.

The Yao Clan Disciples immediately lowered their heads, moving towards the giant bird, each leading their guests towards the mountain peak where the Medicine Ceremony was to be held.

Xiao Yan and Yao Chen walked within the group.

As soon as they landed, both their expressions turned cold upon seeing Yao Wangui approaching.

"Yao Chen, you still haven't given up, have you?"

Yao Wangui sneered.

Yao Chen's Face was indifferent, looking as if he didn't want to bother with him, intending to lead Xiao Yan around him.

However, Yao Wangui blocked their path again.

"Old man, are you looking for a beating?"

Xiao Yan's expression suddenly darkened.

He just didn't want to cause trouble, but that didn't mean he was actually a timid person.

His senior was in the Yao Clan, and with himself being from the Cultivation Alliance, plus the relationship between his ancestor and his senior.

Xiao Yan believed that if a conflict truly broke out, the one who would suffer in the end would definitely be the other party.

"Kid, what are you? If it weren't for the invitation I gave you, do you think you'd be qualified to stand before me?"

Yao Wangui said with disdain.

Yao Chen's expression changed upon hearing this, "Yao Wangui, are you deliberately trying to humiliate our master and Disciple in front of so many people?"

"That's right! Do you think you, an outcast of the Yao Clan, are qualified to enter the Medicine World? Or are you trying to use this opportunity to leave your name on the Yao Clan's Ancestral Tablet? Stop dreaming, Yao Chen, you're not worthy!"

Yao Wangui burst into laughter, like a petty man whose scheme had succeeded, acting extremely arrogant.

"You're courting death!"

Xiao Yan roared, nine-colored flames surged from his body, circling him, and with a flash, he appeared before Yao Wangui.

"Brat, you dare to attack me actively?"

Yao Wangui was slightly startled, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes, and he flipped his palm, pushing it out, "Withered Glory Palm!"

Boom!

The two collided, and a terrifying energy exploded, creating an impact that caused many figures around them to quickly retreat.

Xiao Yan retreated eight or nine steps, then looked up at the equally retreating Yao Wangui with a fierce gaze.

"Presumptuous! Who allowed you to fight in the Yao Clan?!"

"How audacious! To dare act wildly in the Yao Clan, what do you take the Yao Clan for?"

"Attack him together and take him down!"

The surrounding Yao Clan Elders and Disciples, seeing that Yao Wangui hadn't gained the upper hand, immediately became agitated.

With so many guests present, if they didn't show some force, wouldn't the Yao Clan's Face be utterly lost?

"Xiao Yan, you dare to attack me in the Yao Clan? Do you know what my status is?!"

A look of surprise flashed across Yao Wangui's eyes, his Face grim. He hadn't expected to be outmaneuvered by Yao Chen's Disciple. He immediately pointed his right hand at Xiao Yan, "Yao Clan Iron Guards, seize this arrogant man!"

"Yes!"

As his sharp shout fell, dozens of figures clad in black iron armor rushed out from all sides of the plaza.

They held long spears, their Aura not weak, and they surrounded Xiao Yan.

Dou Qi wrapped around the sharp spear tips, aimed at Xiao Yan's vital points.

Xiao Yan snorted coldly, showing no intention of backing down. His hand seals changed, and flames surged around him.

"Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations!"

A Xiao Clan Clan lines gradually emerged from beneath the skin of his forehead, and his Aura also rapidly increased.

Just as the two sides were about to make contact, a sensation like flowing water quietly arose in everyone's hearts, making them wonder what it was.

The next second, a cold, authoritative shout quietly echoed in everyone's ears, "If the Yao Clan doesn't welcome people from my Cultivation Alliance, you can just say so. My Cultivation Alliance has always been the most reasonable; the Wind and Thunder Pavilion and Ice River Valley, who have experienced it, know this best."

The low voice contained no emotion.

Everyone felt a sudden chill sweep over their bodies, goosebumps appearing, and their hairs standing on end.

Thud!

Among them, many Elders and Disciples of the Yao Clan almost instantly all knelt to the ground.

On the plaza, a large group of figures dressed in Alchemist robes collectively knelt.

"H-how is this possible..."

Yao Wangui's back gradually bent, his teeth clenched tightly, and crimson blood oozed from his gums.

However, despite exerting all his strength, he still couldn't resist the suppressing force.

A sense of horror rose in his heart.

Yao Wangui hadn't expected that in less than a year, Lin Xiu's strength had once again reached a terrifying level.

He was practically grinding his teeth to powder, his legs trembling violently, shaking like a butterfly flapping its wings, creating afterimages.

Just then, another voice rang out, "Cultivation Alliance Chief Lin Xiu, this is the Yao Clan. Please give me some Face and restrain yourself a little."

It was the Clan Chief!

Hearing the voice, a look of joy flashed in Yao Wangui's eyes, feeling as if he was saved.

With so many people present, for him, the dignified Elder of Law Enforcement, to kneel, it was simply too humiliating.

"Face is earned through strength, not begged for! Those who bully people from my Cultivation Alliance should be grateful to escape with their lives!"

Lin Xiu's faintly authoritative laughter spread from the mountain peak.

The pressure suddenly intensified!

Yao Wangui's Face flushed, his veins bulging, and finally, with a "bang," he fell to his knees.

PS: While writing this chapter, I suddenly realized that the Medicine Ceremony story in Battle Through the Heavens also happens around the time of the college entrance exam.

The young author Xingyu wants to say to his younger brothers and sisters who are about to take the college entrance exam: Everyone, work hard, Face the exam with a calm mind, don't have psychological pressure, and I wish you all good results.

Em... You have to work hard, because if you don't do well on the exam, your future might be like mine, relying on writing fanfiction for the great God Tudou to earn living expenses (laughs).

Don't be like that, life is full of surprises, there's no need to stay at home buried in writing books, the outside world is more exciting.

Keep it up, keep it up!!
