146: No way, second brother? You're here again?

Chapter 146: No Way, Second Brother? You're At It Again?

Under the azure sky, birds and beasts flapped their wings, soaring.

In the distant sky, two streaks of light flickered, flying at extreme speed, quickly overtaking the birds and beasts.

Below the clouds ahead, the outline of a magnificent city gradually emerged.

"That's Gama Holy City ahead!" Xiao Yan's dust-covered face broke into a smile. "Senior Sister, we'll be home soon."

Beside him, Zi Yan let out a sigh of relief: "Your home is really far from Canaan Academy."

Xiao Yan smiled and said nothing.

Upon arriving closer, Xiao Yan's aura surged forth, completely unmasked.

Within the Imperial Capital, figures rushed out.

There were Elder Jia, Fa Ma, Hai Bodong, and others.

The sudden appearance of a Dou Huang was something they had to take seriously!

Just then, they heard a voice, and their tense expressions immediately softened.

"Gama Empire, I, Xiao Yan, have finally returned!"

The young man's hearty laughter, filled with deep satisfaction, spread in all directions.

...

Xiao Family.

In the main hall, Xiao Zhan was discussing matters with someone. Hearing the voice, he immediately leaped onto the rooftop.

The other elders, Xiao Ding, and Xiao Li also jumped onto the rooftop one after another.

Everyone gazed at the figure slowly descending from the sky, a heartfelt smile on their faces.

"Yan'er!"

"Brother!"

"Soul Young Clan Leader!"

The Xiao Family members enthusiastically waved their arms in greeting.

The next second, Xiao Yan's direction suddenly shifted, heading straight for Soul Cang's residence within the Imperial Capital.

Witnessing this scene, everyone was stunned, exchanging speechless glances.

Nothing wrong with that!

...

While descending, Xiao Yan said to Zi Yan: "This is my Eldest Brother's residence in the Imperial Capital. If he ever returns to the Gama Empire, he'll usually be here."

Zi Yan nodded, stood on the ground, and watched Xiao Yan go up to knock on the door.

Before long, the door opened.

"Xiao Yan?" Ya Fei saw him and showed a hint of a smile.

Xiao Yan smiled: "Sister-in-law, where's my Eldest Brother? Is he home?"

Ya Fei nodded: "He is."

She stepped aside, allowing Xiao Yan to enter.

At this moment, as Xiao Yan moved, Zi Yan, who was behind him, was revealed.

Zi Yan still had the appearance of a little girl.

Ya Fei was first startled, a sense of vigilance rising in her heart. Could Xiao Yan have brought another woman for Cang King?

But soon, she dismissed the thought, because Zi Yan looked too young, like a child.

"Sister-in-law, this is my Senior Sister, Zi Yan." Xiao Yan noticed Ya Fei's gaze and introduced her.

Zi Yan nodded slightly.

Xiao Yan added: "She usually doesn't like to socialize."

Ya Fei hummed and walked ahead.

The three entered the house, where Soul Cang was seated in the main seat of the hall, with a servant pouring tea beside him.

"Eldest Brother!" Seeing Soul Cang, Xiao Yan showed a very brilliant smile.

"Second Brother!" Soul Cang rose and embraced him. "It's been a while, you look much more mature."

Xiao Yan laughed: "One must grow up, otherwise, how could I be worthy of Eldest Brother's care for me?"

The two sat down.

At this moment, Soul Cang's gaze froze: "Zi Yan?"

He looked at Xiao Yan, a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

No way, Second Brother? You brought another one for me? Damn it, Medusa will run away from home if she finds out!

Seeing that Eldest Brother recognized Zi Yan, Xiao Yan immediately skipped the introduction and went straight to the reason.

Zi Yan was very surprised by Soul Cang's powerful physique and wanted to ask if Soul Cang was of the same kind as her, or if he knew her background.

Phew... Hearing this, Soul Cang breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Zi Yan, Soul Cang thought for a moment and said: "I do know your background, and I even know where your father is."

Zi Yan's eyes widened, sparkling with light, and she said: "Really? Where is he? Tell me."

Soul Cang shook his head slightly: "I can't say now. With your current strength, telling you would only harm you."

He was telling the truth.

After all, her father is currently suppressed by the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave.

Zi Yan's expression darkened, but she didn't press further. She didn't have anything that the other party could covet, so he had no reason to hide anything.

Since Soul Cang said so, it was very likely to be true.

Thinking this, Zi Yan felt a little better. She had always believed that her parents abandoned her, but it seemed that wasn't the case.

Finding a casual excuse, Soul Cang sent Ya Fei to take Zi Yan away.

In the main hall, only Xiao Yan and Soul Cang remained.

"This is for you." Soul Cang flicked his finger, and his storage ring flashed, spitting out a dark black jade slip, which he tossed in front of Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan took it, a little confused.

Soul Cang said: "Burn it with your Heavenly Flame."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan did as he was told. Soon, the jade slip melted into a drop of liquid, and at the same time, a large expanse of characters appeared floating in the air.

"Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Flame?" Xiao Yan looked at Soul Cang, and seeing him nod, he reached out to touch the liquid.

Boom!

Subsequently, countless words rushed into his mind.

Xiao Yan sat cross-legged. After a while, he opened his eyes, a look of surprise on his face.

This was a secret technique for increasing strength!

Moreover, it was related to flames; the stronger the flame, the higher the realm of improvement.

He possessed a Heavenly Flame; this secret technique was practically tailor-made for him!

Suppressing his inner joy, Xiao Yan eagerly began to experience it in front of Soul Cang.

"Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Flame, First Change!"

"Second Change!"

With two low shouts, Xiao Yan was surprised to find that his strength had directly surpassed the peak of Dou Huang, even vaguely touching the threshold of a Three-Star Dou Zong.

Just as he was about to try the Third Change, Soul Cang's voice came: "Your current realm is too strained to use the Third Change. The success rate is too low, and it will also harm your body."

Xiao Yan immediately gave up. He believed Eldest Brother would not harm him.

Dispelling the secret technique, Xiao Yan's body felt some pain, but he didn't care, his face beaming with a smile: "Eldest Brother, this secret technique is too powerful. If I had this secret technique before, six months ago, I would have been confident in dealing with Han Feng and returned earlier!"

As he spoke, Xiao Yan also remembered and took out Han Feng's head.

Soul Cang's expression was calm.

A ring on his hand flashed, and Yao Chen's figure appeared.

Looking at the head on the ground, Yao Chen was filled with mixed emotions, his gaze very complex.

What's going on? Xiao Yan was stunned.

Soul Cang said indifferently: "Han Feng can be considered your Senior Disciple Brother. He colluded with outsiders to frame your master, which led to his current predicament."

"Old man, you had such a past before?" Xiao Yan was greatly surprised, never expecting that Yao Chen had also been betrayed, and that person was even his disciple.

Xiao Yan and Yao Chen had spent a long time together in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and he knew very well that although the old man liked to hit him and was a chatterbox, he was truly dedicated to teaching his disciples.

As Yao Chen's disciple, Xiao Yan dared to vouch for his words.

He imagined what it would be like if such a thing happened to him; he would probably collapse and wouldn't be able to barely survive like the old man.

Xiao Yan said angrily: "Damn it, if I had known earlier that Han Feng was such a person, I would never have let him die so easily!"

At this moment, Yao Chen said hoarsely: "Forget it, when a person dies, the lamp goes out. Let the past be the past."

After speaking, his figure returned to the ring.

Xiao Yan glanced at the head, waved his right hand, and a wisp of Heavenly Flame emerged, instantly engulfing it.

A gust of wind blew, and the ashes drifted into the distance.

Soul Cang took a sip of tea and asked: "Second Brother, what are your plans next?"

Xiao Yan's expression was firm: "Become stronger! I want to become stronger!"

As he spoke, he looked at Soul Cang and asked: "Eldest Brother, how strong is Xun'er's background family? What kind of strength do I need to gain their recognition?"

"Strength?" Soul Cang pondered for two seconds. "At least a Dou Sheng."

"Dou Sheng?" Xiao Yan showed a bitter smile. In the past, he wouldn't even dare to dream of a realm like Dou Sheng.
