"This Zhou Yan has a low cultivation base; if not for our clan's rules, he would have died long ago! Since that's the case, there's no need to bother with him. However, we must be careful. If the clan leader finds out, our fate will be miserable!"
The young man in black robes said.
"Yes, Clan Leader!"
Both nodded in unison.
...
Time slipped by.
Zhou Yan didn't know how long he had cultivated. In any case, during this period, the effect of the Fire Spirit Pearl gradually weakened.
Finally, the Fire Spirit Pearl no longer reacted, and Zhou Yan stopped cultivating.
"Hoo hoo~!"
Zhou Yan stood up and let out a long sigh.
The Fire Spirit Pearl had been completely absorbed by him.
"Good. Now my Fire Spirit Pearl has completely fused with my body. Now, I can use the power of the Fire Spirit Pearl to expel impurities from my body and also strengthen my internal organs."
Zhou Yan smiled.
"It seems that after I reach the Foundation Establishment stage, I can try to sense the power of heaven and earth and integrate it into my body."
"Moreover, this power of heaven and earth is not static. As long as I find a suitable cultivation technique, I might be able to integrate it into my body!"
A faint smile appeared on Zhou Yan's lips.
"No matter what, my cultivation is still very low. I should focus on improving it first."
Zhou Yan murmured to himself.
"Whoosh!"
Zhou Yan's figure flickered, and he appeared beside the Fire Dragon Pool.
Zhou Yan looked at the water in the Fire Dragon Pool and thought, "The temperature of this Fire Dragon Pool is very high. If I could soak in it for an hour, my physical strength might increase several times. With enough time, perhaps I can reach the Golden Core stage!"
A hint of excitement appeared on Zhou Yan's face.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Zhou Yan's figure flickered, and he jumped directly into the Fire Dragon Pool, diving to the bottom.
...
"Zhou Yan!" Đại Phong Novel Network
Not far away, the members of the Fire Phoenix Clan saw Zhou Yan, their faces filled with intense anger, wishing they could kill him.
"Get away from here, all of you! This Zhou Yan has a noble status, how can you covet it? If you don't leave, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Zhou Yan shouted coldly, emanating a chilling power.
"Hmph, we won't leave. Should we stay here and watch you enjoy your family bliss?"
A male disciple roared indignantly.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan's expression darkened.
"Are you looking for death?"
A sharp killing intent flashed in his eyes.
"Hahaha..."
However, at this moment, a mocking voice suddenly rang out.
Immediately after, two dark figures were seen walking slowly out of the forest.
"Who are you?"
Zhou Yan's pupils contracted slightly. The two figures before him brought him immense pressure, and a sense of danger arose in his heart.
"Zhou Yan, you not only injured our clan leader's niece but also killed the envoy sent by our clan leader. Now you want to escape, you are simply courting death!"
"Today, we will avenge our clan leader and kill this arrogant fellow."
The male disciple shouted.
"Arrogant!"
A cold sneer curved on Zhou Yan's lips.
The next moment, Zhou Yan's figure flickered, and he charged towards the male disciple.
"Bang!"
The next moment, Zhou Yan directly smashed the opponent's head, blood splattering. The male disciple's body fell heavily to the ground, twitched a few times, and then lost consciousness.
"Hiss~!"
The surrounding Fire Phoenix Clan disciples gasped, their bodies going cold.
"Damn it, he actually killed a disciple of the Fire Cloud Sect, and his cultivation has reached the peak of Qi Condensation Ninth Layer!"
"This... this is too heaven-defying, right?"
...
Disciples widened their eyes and said with great shock.
"Zhou Yan, you dare to kill our Fire Phoenix Clan disciple! Our Fire Phoenix Clan is irreconcilable with you, we swear to perish together!"
Another male disciple roared through gritted teeth.
"Our Fire Phoenix Clan will not let you go!"
Another Fire Phoenix Clan disciple shouted.
"Sorry, I didn't hear clearly!"
"Say it again, perhaps I'll remember!"
"You..."
...
A playful smile appeared on Zhou Yan's face, and he looked at the Fire Phoenix Clan disciples with amusement.
"Let's go!"
Seeing this, the two male disciples felt a sense of fear.
They didn't want to provoke a madman like Zhou Yan.
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, the two turned and fled.
"Bang!"
Zhou Yan waved his hand, and two fireballs flew out of thin air, directly smashing the two Fire Phoenix Clan disciples away.
"Pfft!"
The male disciple was hit by the fireball, and blood flew everywhere. He instantly fainted.
"Let's go!"
The remaining two disciples, seeing their brother defeated by Zhou Yan, no longer hesitated and turned to run.
"Heh, you can't escape. Since you've chosen to oppose me, don't blame me for disregarding our fraternity and destroying your Fire Phoenix Clan!"
A cruel smile appeared on Zhou Yan's lips.
...
Zhou Yan pursued the Fire Phoenix Clan disciples all the way to the shore of the Fire Dragon Pool.
"Zhou Yan, this is the Fire Dragon Pool, where a Flood Dragon resides. I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!"
"Can mere mortals like you provoke our Fire Phoenix Clan leader?"
"You bunch of ants, do you really think our Fire Phoenix Clan can be bullied?"
"Let me tell you, in this Fire Dragon Pool, the Flood Dragon can descend at any time. If you dare to be reckless here, prepare to be buried with it!"
The two Fire Phoenix Clan disciples glared fiercely at Zhou Yan and threatened him.
Zhou Yan glanced at them dismissively.
"You two talk too much nonsense. The two of you will stay here and be food for this Flood Dragon!"
"Rumble!"
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Yan waved his hand, and a bolt of lightning power surged out from within him, instantly engulfing the two male disciples.
"Ahhhh..."
A scream of pain erupted.
Soon, the bodies of the two male disciples turned into ashes and disappeared.
Zhou Yan turned and left.
His gaze turned towards the Fire Dragon Pool, and a chilling smile appeared on his lips: "Flood Dragon? In front of me, you are nothing. You are merely a lost soul in my hands!"
As the words fell, Zhou Yan's figure headed northeast.
"Zhou Yan, we will not let you go!"
"You killed my clan leader's niece and murdered our clan leader's envoy. Our Fire Phoenix Clan will never rest until you are slain!"
