652. Reinforcements Arrive from the Sky
coming!
Zi Yan stared wide-eyed with curiosity and nervousness as she peered out. The ancient dragon bloodline within her made her exceptionally sensitive to space, and she could clearly sense that the space connected to the other end of the passage was under the pressure of the arrival of two powerful beings.
Upon seeing the spatial vortex open, Zi Yan was very curious about who was coming out and couldn't help but peer inside.
At that moment, two figures emerged—a woman and a short farmer.
The cool moonlight shone on Mu Yaoyin's plain-colored dress. Although her eyes were grayish-white, the power of a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) was unmistakable. Her simple and elegant dress seemed untouched by dust, standing out starkly against the backdrop of the blood and fire that filled the battlefield below.
Stepping a step to her side, an old farmer in a coarse cloth jacket followed closely behind. He had an ordinary face and an extremely restrained aura; if he hadn't been walking on air, he would have blended into the crowd of farmers and gone unnoticed. This was none other than Mu Wei, who had changed his name and was now following Mu Yaoyin.
The two of them had been waiting outside the Pill Domain, and upon receiving the summons, they rushed over immediately. They were the greatest source of confidence for Xiao Yan and his group.
Upon seeing the two, Zi Yan proactively explained, "Are you the reinforcements Xiao Yan is looking for? He's still trapped here!"
Mu Yaoyin's pale eyes gazed toward the core battlefield of Saint Pill City. Without a word, she had already sensed Xiao Yan's presence.
"Little one, step back. I need to break this great formation first."
Ziyan wisely darted away to a distance, her little face full of anticipation.
Her pure white figure slowly floated in mid-air, her wide sleeves moving without wind, and a terrifying, suffocating energy began to gather wildly around her.
Mu Yaoyin's Dou Qi, at the Dou Sheng level, spread out without reservation. Unlike those Half-Saints, Mu Yaoyin's aura truly crossed the boundary between Dou Zun and Dou Sheng.
A clear, melodious cry of a phoenix pierced through the starry sky and rang out from the endless void behind Mu Yaoyin. Then, a phantom of a celestial phoenix, nearly a hundred feet tall, appeared behind Mu Yaoyin. Its elegant and slender neck was held high, and its eyes were as bright as if they were inlaid with stars.
The faces of the Spirit Race Dou Zun powerhouses responsible for maintaining the core besieging formation instantly turned ashen. After all, this was a Dou Sheng powerhouse! The formation they had constructed could be shaken even by a half-saint level warrior, so how could a true Dou Sheng level power possibly stop it?
Many of the weaker Spirit Race Battle Venerables experienced sudden chaos in their auras under the immense pressure, causing their rhythm in maintaining the formation to involuntarily slow down.
Fortunately, everyone could clearly see Ling Haonan above the Pill Tower headquarters; the Supreme Elder was still there! His presence was an unyielding banner in the hearts of the Spirit Clan. They had a Dou Sheng expert backing them up, and this expert was definitely stronger than Mu Yaoyin. This was the source of their confidence to continue persevering here.
Mu Yaoyin's eyes were lifeless, unable to see everything with her own eyes, but she could sense everything.
Looking at the massive formation before her, she knew perfectly well that it was impossible for it to stop her attack.
"break!"
……
"We're safe now."
"This time, the formation has truly been broken."
"A Dou Sheng expert is truly extraordinary; where has the imposing aura of the formation been found?"
"It's exactly like it's made of paper."
"Our ancestor can get it right away."
The spatial containment array completely collapsed, and the core prison vanished into thin air. Only now was Saint Pill City truly exposed to the laws of the Dou Qi Continent, completely unhindered. The cries for help from the trapped and the beacons of reinforcements were no longer obstructed!
Then, amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, two extremely powerful spatial forces took effect one after another, causing the space above the Pill Tower to begin to distort dramatically, and the space above the Pill Tower was torn open with winding cracks by these spatial forces.
Once the cracks stabilized, a torrent of scorching air, carrying sparks, erupted forth, instantly engulfing the battlefield with the unique aura of Burning Flame Valley. An elderly man, engulfed in flames, clad in a crimson robe, and with red hair that moved without wind, appeared. His eyes, opening and closing, were awe-inspiring; his aura was as heavy as a mountain, clearly indicating he was also a Dou Sheng-level expert.
Among Little Fairy Doctor's group, Venerable Mingshui immediately recognized him: "It's actually Ancestor Huoyun! He's already emerged from seclusion?"
Tang Zhen, whose expression had been solemn, relaxed noticeably after seeing the towering figure descending from the flames, letting out a long sigh of relief.
"The situation is already so turbulent tonight, Burning Flame Valley certainly cannot sit idly by."
Not far away, Tang Huo'er, who had been nervously gazing at the sky with sweaty palms, finally felt a sense of relief and whispered to her father, "Father, can Ancestor control the whole situation?"
"I can't really say what's going on right now; there are just too many experts and powerful figures appearing."
Upon hearing the sound, Tang Huo'er subconsciously clenched her sleeve, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the flame pattern embroidered on the sleeve. However, her gaze passed through the falling sparks, smoke, and the light and shadow of the explosions. Xiao Yan and Huo Zhi were supporting each other, rapidly withdrawing from the area where they were entangled with Ling Fengzhui.
Tang Zhen, who had been subtly sensing his daughter's unusual mood tonight, keenly noticed the fleeting direction of her gaze and the unspeakable tenderness and trembling in her tone.
"Huo'er?" He raised his thick eyebrows slightly, his tone becoming somewhat complicated, even mixed with a hint of worry, with a hint of inquiry and a father's vigilance.
"Are you very worried about your young friend Xiao Yan?" He deliberately emphasized the word "worried".
Tang Huo'er's heart skipped a beat, as if her deepest secret had been suddenly exposed. But she reacted quickly, forcing herself to remain calm and even deliberately raising her chin in a slightly defiant arc: "Of course I care about him. He's our ally today, isn't that normal?"
She spoke faster and faster, trying her best to maintain a calm demeanor, but her slightly unfocused eyes and the blush creeping up her ears betrayed everything.
Although Tang Huo'er appeared calm and composed, her tone lacked her usual confidence, sounding more like a girl whose secret had been exposed.
Seeing this, Tang Zhen understood everything. A helpless yet slightly teasing chuckle appeared on his tense and serious face.
Tang Zhen had to admit that Xiao Yan's charm was simply too strong. He had won the Pill Gathering championship, displayed incredible skill tonight, and single-handedly stormed the Pill Tower for his master's wife. Even with the most discerning eye, it would be difficult to find any flaws in Xiao Yan. What young woman wouldn't be captivated by such a man?
Judging from Xiao Yan's performance over the years, it would be difficult to find anyone among the younger generation in the entire Central Plains who could rival him. If we consider him solely as a son-in-law, he would be impeccable.
