"Hmph!" Yu Liu snorted, then looked around and asked in surprise, "Where is this?"

"I don't know either." Qiu Xiaoming shook his head gently. This place was all forest, and he really didn't know where he was.

"This place feels so strange!" Yu Liu said, frowning as she sensed the chakra in the air. "The chakra in this world seems really weird."

"Hmm!" Qiu Xiaoming had been here before and knew the situation, so he nodded and said, "The chakra here is different from ours."

As he spoke, Qiu Xiaoming took out a device, which Naruto had given him, specifically to collect the chakra here so that researchers from Konoha Village could study it.

"Let's take a look around the area and see if there are any villages, and gather some information," Yu Liu said.

"Hmm." Qiu Xiaoming nodded. He also wanted to know where he was so he could go find the friends he knew here.

The two wandered around in the woods. The trees here were very tall and dense, with lush foliage that blocked out the sun, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate.

Qiu Xiaoming and Yu Liu walked for a long time, but still did not encounter anyone.

Qiu Xiaoming was speechless. If they walked aimlessly like this, when would they ever get there?

They had been at sea for several days before, were they going to wander around in this forest for several more days?

"Whoosh!" Suddenly, a sound of air being cut rang out, and then a figure stood in the void.

"Who?!" Yu Liu exclaimed in surprise, looking around warily, gripping the scalpel tightly in her hand, ready to fight at any moment.

"Huh? Qiu Xiaoming?" The figure looked surprised when he saw Qiu Xiaoming's appearance.

"Elder Su Qian!" Qiu Xiaoming was also stunned. He didn't expect to meet Elder Su Qian here.

Could this be Canaan Academy?

"You little rascal, you're finally back! I thought you weren't coming back!" Su Qian stroked his beard with his right hand, a look of satisfaction on his face, and said, "You've even advanced to the Dou level? Not bad, not bad."

"Elder Su Qian, you flatter me," Qiu Xiaoming said, scratching his head.

"Hehe." Su Qian chuckled softly, then looked at Yu Liu beside him, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes, and asked, "And who is this?"

“She’s my friend, Yu Liu,” Qiu Xiaoming introduced.

"At such a young age, to have the strength of a Dou Zong is truly remarkable." Su Qian looked at Yu Liu with admiration in his eyes. He had come to investigate after sensing an unfamiliar Dou Zong aura suddenly appearing near Canaan Academy.

Seeing that Qiu Xiaoming knew the old man, Yu Liu relaxed her guard slightly.

"By the way, why are you wandering around here? Why aren't you going to the inner courtyard?" Su Qian asked Qiu Xiaoming with a puzzled look.

"I'm lost..." Qiu Xiaoming said awkwardly.

"Lost?" Su Qian was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "That's right, you've been away for a few years, it's normal that you don't know the way."

Several years? Qiu Xiaoming was stunned when he heard Su Qian's words. He had only been gone for a little over a month, how could it have been several years?

"Let's go, I'll take you into the academy." After saying that, Su Qian turned around and flew towards Canaan Academy with Qiu Xiaoming and Yu Liu.

"Elder Su Qian, how has the Panmen Sect fared during the years I was away?" Qiu Xiaoming asked casually as he followed Su Qian.

“Panmen is currently a very popular force in the Canaan Inner Court. Everyone wants to become a disciple of Panmen,” Su Qian said with a faint smile.

"I see!" Qiu Xiaoming nodded gently, but he was a little anxious. Su Qian said that he had been gone for several years. According to the time calculation, Xiao Yan might already be absorbing the Fallen Heart Flame at the bottom of the tower.

It doesn't matter if he absorbs the Fallen Heart Flame, the main thing is Queen Medusa's Rainbow Scales!

It was at this moment that Cai Lin was eaten by Xiao Yan. He didn't want Xiao Yan to take advantage of Cai Lin!

[Ding! Intimate Paradise Quest: Head to the foot of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower. Quest time limit: 3 days. Reward: 1000 Affection Points.]

Just then, the system suddenly issued a task, and Qiu Xiaoming's expression changed slightly upon hearing it.

Sure enough, Xiao Yan had already left the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

"Elder Su Qian, how is Brother Xiao Yan?" (Six) Seal (Seven) Yin Erba Si 8 Qiu Xiaoming looked at Su Qian and asked.

Qiu Xiaoming knew exactly what was wrong with Xiao Yan; he just wanted Su Qian to say it herself, and then use that as a pretext to reveal his intention to leave the tower.

“He…” Su Qian hesitated, as if considering how to tell Qiu Xiaoming.

"Xiao Yan is in trouble? What happened?" Qiu Xiaoming pressed for an answer.

"Let's go back to the academy first, and we can talk about it there," Su Qian sighed, shook her head, and said.

Qiu Xiaoming nodded and followed Su Qian back to Canaan Academy.

"Elder Su Qian, what happened to Brother Xiao Yan?" Qiu Xiaoming sat down and asked Su Qian.

"Sigh..." Su Qian sighed and said, "Not long after you left, Han Feng suddenly came to steal the Fallen Heart Flame. Xiao Yan did it to save the teachers and students of the academy..."

"Where is he now?" Qiu Xiaoming asked anxiously.

“It’s at the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower,” Su Qian said bitterly.

"What?!" Qiu Xiaoming's eyes widened, his face filled with shock, and then he jumped up suddenly.

"I'm going to the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower," Qiu Xiaoming said excitedly. This was a matter concerning Cai Lin's innocence, and it couldn't be taken lightly or delayed any longer.

Seeing this, Su Qian quickly stopped Qiu Xiaoming: "Xiaoming, calm down, there's a strange fire down there, it's no joke!!"

"I can't worry about that, I have to go!" Qiu Xiaoming shook his head firmly. He absolutely couldn't let Xiao Yan snatch Cai Lin away.

“You…” Su Qian looked at the stubborn Qiu Xiaoming, then looked at Yu Liu next to Yi Chu Ling Lu Si Qi Ba (Part 2) VIII.

However, Yu Liu had no idea what a strange fire was, how powerful it was, or why Elder Su Qian wanted to stop Qiu Xiaoming.

"Elder Su Qian, don't worry, I'm confident," Qiu Xiaoming said to Elder Su Qian, then took out the Fallen Heart Flame he had won in the lottery.

Chapter 168 Xiao Yu

"Fallen Heart Flame?! How do you have Fallen Heart Flame?!" Su Qian exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the Fallen Heart Flame in Qiu Xiaoming's hand. He then examined the Fallen Heart Flame carefully and confirmed that it was genuine.

"I got it by sheer luck!" Qiu Xiaoming chuckled.

"I'm really lucky." Su Qian smiled wryly. To get such a treasure, it's really too easy to just say that I'm lucky.

"Well, Elder Su Qian, you can rest assured that I'll go to the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower this time, right?" Qiu Xiaoming put away the Fallen Heart Flame and looked at Su Qian.

"Sigh, since you're so persistent, then so be it." Su Qian shook her head gently and sighed.

Qiu Xiaoming now possesses a different kind of flame, specifically the Fallen Heart Flame. The Fallen Heart Flame in the tower should be unable to harm him. Let him try; there shouldn't be any problem.

"Alright, I'll go to the bottom of the tower now." Qiu Xiaoming turned around and headed to the bottom of the tower after hearing Su Qian's agreement.

"Wait a minute," Su Qian called out to Qiu Xiaoming.

"What's wrong, Elder Su Qian? Is there any other problem?" Qiu Xiaoming stopped and looked at Su Qian with a puzzled expression.

"Don't rush, you just got back today and haven't had a proper rest yet. Take a good rest first," Su Qian waved her hand and said.

“Furthermore, it will take me time to break the seal at the bottom level,” Su Qian continued.

"How long will it take?" Qiu Xiaoming asked.

"Two or three days, I guess!" Su Qian pondered for a moment, then said.

"Alright then, I'll have to trouble Elder Su Qian," Qiu Xiaoming nodded and said.

"This is what I should do. Xiao Yan made a sacrifice for our Canaan Academy. Now that we have a chance, I will try my best to rescue him." Su Qian waved his hand and sighed.

"You should go and rest too. Go see how the Panmen you and Xiao Yan established is doing," Su Qian said to Qiu Xiaoming with a smile.

"Yes, Elder Su Qian, I will go now." Qiu Xiaoming bowed respectfully to Su Qian and said.

Afterwards, Qiu Xiaoming took Yu Liu and left.

"This little guy is not bad." After Qiu Xiaoming left, Su Qian smiled and murmured.

As Qiu Xiaoming led Yu Liu through the campus of Canaan Academy, passing students looked at them with curiosity. Only a few students looked at Qiu Xiaoming with surprise and apprehension.

"The cultivation methods here seem to be somewhat different from those back home." Yu Liu looked around with curiosity in her beautiful eyes.

“In this world, they don’t cultivate chakra, but battle qi,” Qiu Xiaoming said with a light smile, then looked at Yu Liu.

"Fighting spirit?" Yu Liu blinked her beautiful eyes; it was the first time she had ever heard of this term.

"Hmm!" Qiu Xiaoming nodded slightly, then said, "Our ninjas divide their strength levels into Ninja Trainee, Genin, Chunin, Special Grade Jonin, Jonin, Anbu, Elite Jonin, Kage, Super Kage, and Six Paths."

"The power levels in this world are divided into Battle Qi, Battle Warrior, Battle Master, Great Battle Master, Battle, Battle King, Battle Emperor, Battle Sect Master, Battle Venerable, and Battle Saint."

After listening to Qiu Xiaoming's words, Yu Liu nodded slightly and then said, "Based on the comparison of strength, I should be a Dou Zong in this world?"

"That's right." Qiu Xiaoming nodded.

Yu Liu nodded slightly, then looked at Qiu Xiaoming with a furrowed brow, and said in a deep voice, "The mysterious man in black robes who saved Shennong last time, could he be from this world?"

She sensed that the mysterious man in black robes from last time seemed to have a cultivation system similar to that of people in this world.

“It should be.” Qiu Xiaoming nodded, his face also showing a heavy expression, and said, “If I’m not mistaken, he should be a member of the Soul Clan, the most powerful force in this world.”

"Damn bastard!" Yu Liu clenched her fists and said through gritted teeth.

"Hey, Sister Yu Liu, don't worry. The Soul Clan is not someone we can afford to mess with right now," Qiu Xiaoming quickly comforted her when he saw Yu Liu's angry expression.

"Hmph, what's there to be afraid of!" Yu Liujiao snorted.

"Well, among the Soul Clan, there are more than twenty Battle Saints..." Qiu Xiaoming swallowed and said in a low voice.

"Battle Saint? That's the Six Paths Realm in our area? More than twenty of them?! How is that possible?!" Yu Liu's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

In their world, there are five great nations, five great ninja villages, and as far as she knows, only Naruto and Sasuke are at the Six Paths Realm. Yet, there are over twenty members of the Soul Clan here. How could this not surprise her?

"Hmm!" Qiu Xiaoming nodded slightly, then said, "So, with our current strength, it's best to avoid too much contact with the Soul Clan."

“But the Soul Clan has already arrived in our world.” A look of worry flashed across Yu Liu’s small face.

"Don't worry, Naruto and Sasuke can handle one or two at a time. The Soul Clan has quite a few enemies in this world, and if they send too many people, their base might be in danger," Qiu Xiaoming comforted him.

Hearing Qiu Xiaoming say this, Yu Liu finally felt relieved.

The two arrived at Panmen while chatting.

At the same time, a young girl walked out of the gate.

The young girl stood tall and graceful, with a pretty face. What attracted the most attention were her long, shapely, and sexy legs, whose perfectly rounded and straight curves were incredibly alluring.

The girl was stunned when she saw Qiu Xiaoming, then her eyes lit up and she hurriedly ran over, excitedly calling out, "Xiaoming, you're finally back!"

"Sister Xiao Yu, long time no see, you've become even more beautiful." Qiu Xiaoming was also very happy to see the girl and said with a grin.

Upon hearing Qiu Xiaoming's praise, Xiao Yu blushed shyly, but quickly regained her composure. She glared at Qiu Xiaoming reproachfully and said, "You smooth talker! If you dare to spout nonsense again, I'll beat you up!"

As she spoke, Xiao Yuyue raised her fist and threatened him fiercely.

"Hehe!" Qiu Xiaoming couldn't help but laugh out loud at Xiao Yu's adorable actions.

"Alright, hurry up and come inside with me." Xiao Yu gave Qiu Xiaoming a charming glare and said.

Qiu Xiaoming followed Xiao Yu into the Panmen Gate. Watching the students refining pills and competing in martial arts, he said to Xiao Yu, "Sister Xiao Yu, you've managed the Panmen Gate very well!"

"Hmph! You've been gone for years, and Xiao Yan is also..." When Xiao Yan was mentioned, a look of sadness appeared on Xiao Yu's face.

Qiu Xiaoming understood what Xiao Yu wanted to say, so he patted Xiao Yu's shoulder and said softly, "Don't worry, I've already talked to Elder Su Qian. I'll go down to the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower in a few days and see if I can rescue Xiao Yan."

Chapter 169 Zi Yan

"You're going down the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower?" Xiao Yu was startled upon hearing this, then quickly said, "No! The bottom of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower is very dangerous, you can't go!"

Now that Xiao Yan is in trouble, she doesn't want Qiu Xiaoming to get into trouble too.

"Don't worry, Elder Su Qian has already agreed." Qiu Xiaoming shook his head, smiled gently, and reassured her, "Sister Xiao Yu, don't worry, I won't barge in."

"This..." Upon hearing that Elder Su Qian had agreed, Xiao Yu sighed softly and nodded slowly.

If there was a chance to save Xiao Yan, she naturally didn't want to give up just like that. Moreover, Elder Su Qian had agreed, which meant that Qiu Xiaoming must have some trump card.

"Sister Xiao Yu, I'm back!" Not long after the three of them sat down inside, a clear and melodious voice came from outside the door, and a young girl pushed the door open and walked in.

This girl was much younger than Xiao Yuling, with a delicate oval face, a pair of big, watery eyes, and a head of jet-black hair cascading down her back. Although her figure wasn't as curvaceous as Xiao Yuling's, it was still quite well-endowed. She possessed a pure yet alluring charm, giving her a unique appeal.

The girl was stunned when she saw Qiu Xiaoming, then exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Xiaoming, you're back!"

"Xiao Mei, long time no see!" Qiu Xiaoming smiled slightly and said softly.

"Qiu Xiaoming is back?" At this moment, the people outside the door heard Xiao Mei's surprised voice and all gathered around.

"Qiu Xiaoming is really back?"

"Qiu Xiaoming is back!"

"It's so great that Xiaoming is back!"

The people behind Xiao Mei looked at Qiu Xiaoming, and they were all very excited.
