134: Crisis of the Gama Empire

Chapter 134: Crisis in the Gama Empire

After the battle with the Black Alliance, Xiao Yan was bedridden for nearly half a month, finally able to walk again.

The first thing he did was to gather the core members of the Cang Alliance.

First, Xiao Yan reflected on his decisions and then expressed his remorse.

The members of the Cang Alliance didn't say much; this battle also made them realize their shortcomings, especially in life-or-death combat.

External battles were not like the Academy; to survive, those from the Black Alliance would use all sorts of methods.

At the end of the meeting, Xiao Yan told everyone to cultivate diligently, striving to completely annihilate the Black Alliance next time.

This proposal received unanimous approval from all members of the Cang Alliance.

After all, within Canaan Academy, the Cang Alliance was the undisputed number one power, and as members of the Cang Alliance, everyone was filled with pride. Having suffered a setback against the Black Alliance and lost face, they definitely needed to regain it.

Just as Xiao Yan was boosting his spirits, preparing to cultivate diligently, Zi Yan came looking for him.

"My elixirs!" Zi Yan looked at Xiao Yan, extending her fair, tender hand, holding a storage ring in her palm.

Xiao Yan smiled, "I'll refine them for you right away."

Saying that, he took the storage ring and subconsciously checked the medicinal ingredients inside.

His smile froze, and Xiao Yan looked up in astonishment, "Senior Sister, did you perhaps take the wrong storage ring?"

The reason he asked this was because the space inside was completely filled with medicinal ingredients.

If all these ingredients were refined, the quantity of elixirs would be enough to run a pharmacy.

"No, I didn't." Zi Yan's small face was full of seriousness, and she took out a handful of elixirs from a small pouch at her waist.

Then, in front of Xiao Yan, Zi Yan popped the elixirs into her mouth like candy, chewed twice, and swallowed them.

"Ugh, so bitter..." Zi Yan pouted and took a sip of water to rinse her mouth.

Patting the stunned Xiao Yan, Zi Yan's lips curved into a smile and she said, "I saved your life! Uh, and your Big Brother's too."

Zi Yan happily walked away.

In the room, Xiao Yan recovered, let out a heavy sigh, found a member of the Cang Alliance, and told him to postpone the next operation for two months.

In the following days, Xiao Yan's life returned to a two-point routine: cultivating and refining elixirs every day.

Sometimes, when Xiao Xun'er came looking for him, Xiao Yan also had to make time to accompany her.

Whenever he was alone, Xiao Yan always felt troubled. He just wanted to quickly deal with Han Feng, complete the trial Big Brother had assigned, and then follow Big Brother.

Life at Canaan Academy, for Xiao Yan, though peaceful and harmonious, was too monotonous; it wasn't as interesting as when he was in the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

As Zi Yan came to collect elixirs more frequently, her relationship with Xiao Yan gradually became closer.

Especially after Xiao Yan once added sweetness to an elixir, Zi Yan's favorability towards Xiao Yan greatly increased, and she directly stated that in Canaan Academy from then on, she would protect Xiao Yan.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan initially just smiled and didn't pay it much mind.

However, after another time learning of Zi Yan's true strength, he began to scheme.

Learning from his previous lesson, Xiao Yan knew that he failed to kill Han Feng because he lacked a powerful partner by his side.

Otherwise, if someone had helped him block Fan Lao of the Blood Sect, Xiao Yan would have had full confidence in killing Han Feng.

Therefore, he set his sights on Zi Yan.

On the other side, Elder Lin of the Dan Tower noticed that he hadn't seen Zi Yan recently and couldn't help but feel strange.

He asked his disciple Mu Yun and only then learned that someone was specifically refining elixirs for Zi Yan, which was why she rarely came anymore.

Taking some time to inspect the elixirs, Elder Lin found that the Alchemist's skill was quite good, and he once again entertained the idea of taking on a disciple.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yan still refused; he had already taken Yao Chen as his master, and although that old fellow liked to hit people and was still a soul body, Yao Chen was indeed good to him in terms of alchemy.

What Xiao Yan didn't expect was that Elder Lin had even heard of the name Yao Chen.

"Elder Lin, do you know my master?" Seeing Elder Lin visibly relax a little, Xiao Yan was somewhat surprised.

Elder Lin nodded, "Your master used to have a very good reputation in the Medicine World."

Saying that, he got up, preparing to leave. Before leaving, Elder Lin told Xiao Yan that if he encountered any problems with alchemy in the future, he could come to him.

Looking at Elder Lin's retreating back, Xiao Yan said in surprise, "Elder Lin is so easy to talk to? Why did he always avoid me before?"

He couldn't figure it out... Shaking his head, Xiao Yan continued to focus on alchemy. In another week, he would have finished refining all of Zi Yan's elixirs.

...

On the other side.

In a certain cave, a ray of light lit up, and Soul Cang slowly opened his eyes.

"Only eight-star?" Assessing his own strength, Soul Cang let out a sigh filled with regret.

Soul Cang actually hadn't held much hope for the Xuan Huang Flame and the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, these two types of abnormal flames.

It was just that the Three Thousand Yan Flame Fire, in its full state, after devouring its power, had not even advanced to a nine-star Dou Zun.

This was the key reason for Soul Cang's disappointment.

With a thought, six Fire Spirits and three clusters of abnormal flames appeared.

The Fire Spirits were kicking the three clusters of abnormal flames around like footballs, having a great time.

Soul Cang glanced at them, then directly activated the amplification secret technique Fire Spirit Three Transformations, completing the third transformation in one go.

Instantly, the entire cave was blown away by the powerful energy.

At the same time, Soul Cang's body, like colorful glazed glass, showed subtle cracks, with signs of expanding outwards.

At this moment, a starlight appeared, and those cracks were quickly repaired.

Seeing this scene, Soul Cang's lips curled into a smile. Being able to restore the injuries within his body was the biggest goal this time.

Withdrawing from the Fire Spirit Three Transformations state, the scars that Soul Cang previously needed time and elixirs to heal were immediately mended by the starlight of the Three Thousand Yan Flame Fire.

This meant that he could maintain the Fire Spirit Three Transformations state for a long time in the future.

Soul Cang frowned, "It seemed like I could only advance to the peak of nine-star Dou Zun just now and couldn't go any higher. What's the reason? Is it the barrier to Dou Sheng or something else?"

At this moment, the jade slip vibrated.

"Soul Xiaoqiang?" Seeing the source of the message, Soul Cang was momentarily stunned.

"Lord Cang, do you have time to return to the Gama Empire recently?" Soul Xiaoqiang's voice came from inside.

Soul Cang asked, "What happened?"

Soul Xiaoqiang urgently said, "Three empires surrounding the Gama Empire have united to attack the Gama Empire."

Has it reached this point in time? Soul Cang had an impression of this event; among them, the sect master of the Poison Sect of the Chu Yun Empire was actually Xiao Yixian.

Soul Cang said indifferently, "Can't you resolve it yourself? Do I need to get involved in such a small matter?!"

One should know that even Xiao Yan, who wasn't even a Dou Zong at that time, could quell this matter, let alone Soul Xiaoqiang who had already advanced to Dou Zong many years ago.

Soul Xiaoqiang's bitter voice came out, "Lord Cang, I've disappointed you."

Soul Cang felt confused.

Soul Xiaoqiang explained, "Behind the other three empires, there are Dou Zuns of unknown origin. They strictly forbid anyone above Dou Huang from participating in the battle."

"Say that again?!" In a place like the Northwest Region, there would be Dou Zuns? Soul Cang didn't believe it at all.

However, Soul Xiaoqiang's repeated assurances made Soul Cang have to reconsider his thoughts.

"I understand, I'll rush back as soon as possible." Soul Cang said directly.

Medusa is still in the Gama Empire, she cannot be in danger!

...

On the other side.

Soul Xiaoqiang put down the jade slip and looked at the three figures in front of him, pleading, "I did as you said. Please, release my family and children."

These were three men, very burly, with astonishing auras. The power they casually emitted even made the surrounding space tremble.

"Don't worry, we'll send you to reunite with your family soon." The man on the right sneered.

With a palm strike, Soul Xiaoqiang instantly fainted.

"Big Brother, I'll knock him out first, and then kill him when Soul Cang returns." This man said to the person in the middle.

The man in the middle grunted, "Well done."
