Within the Tianluan Clan's medicinal garden.
Since Tang Qiying's betrayal, Mu Yaoyin finally used this as an excuse to thoroughly reorganize the factions within the Tianluan Clan. A considerable bloodbath also broke out within the Tianluan Clan, as the Mu family members and those from other families were already two somewhat opposing factions. However, this time Mu Yaoyin's actions were too fast, too ruthless, and too precise, starting almost imperceptibly and ending with extremely swift action.
Mu Yaoyin's purge of the non-Clan members was exceptionally accurate; almost none of them were innocent. Originally, Tang Qiying, one of the two major backers among the non-Clan members, had already betrayed the Tianluan Clan, while the other, even more important figure, Chen Wei, seemed to have vanished when this incident occurred. Therefore, this bloodshed did not encounter much trouble and ended quite quickly.
After that, Chen Wei was given the surname "Mu" and settled in the Tianluan Clan's medicinal garden.
Many members of the Tianluan Clan speculated that the patriarch and Chen Wei had reached some kind of agreement, and that the patriarch had offered Chen Wei a small compensation as a way to appease him. They also needed Chen Wei's array formation abilities, so they simply placed him under house arrest in the medicine garden.
Mu Wei then settled peacefully within the herb garden, rarely leaving the house, and devoted himself entirely to studying ancient formations. Although he remained an elder of the Tianluan clan, he no longer participated in clan decisions.
That day, Mu Wei was focused on his formation when a crack suddenly appeared in a stone tablet in the corner of his room, which then shattered. Noticing this, Mu Wei stopped what he was doing, staring at the stone tablet for a long time, gazing at the distant horizon, and letting out a long, low sigh.
……
After Tang Qiying's death, the rapidly turbulent Sound Valley suddenly fell silent. The terrifying clash had stripped Sound Valley of any semblance of its former grandeur as a major power in Central Plains. Tang Qiying's casual manipulation of the underground chaotic sound array's energy had reduced Sound Valley to almost complete ruins.
At this moment, numerous battle qi and sonic energy still drifted erratically in the sky, reminding everyone that a significant bloody battle had taken place here.
Now that things had quieted down, the post-battle cleanup could gradually begin. However, everyone in Yin Valley was still shaken and seemed somewhat disoriented. The sect had suffered a devastating calamity, the Grand Elder had perished, and the sect's protective formation was completely unusable. All of this pointed to one fact for the people of Yin Valley: a harsh winter was likely to be coming for Yin Valley.
If it weren't for the fact that the true pillar of Yin Valley, Fan Yin, is still alive and well, this enormous power would probably have declined as a result.
At this moment, Xiao Yan searched the air and, finding no trace of Tang Qiying or the Bodhi Transformation Saliva, gritted his teeth and returned to the Sound Valley. He immediately seized Qin Shiyin, who had been rescued by the Sound Valley elder, and gripped her neck tightly, his killing intent surging: "Tell me, where is the real Bodhi Transformation Saliva hidden?"
Qin Shiyin was already injured by Xiao Yan during their battle. After Xiao Yan launched a sneak attack, she was distracted by Qin Zhun's death and did not put up any resistance. If she hadn't been rescued by Elder Yin Gu, she probably would have died long ago.
Both Fan Yin and Venerable Huiyin arrived, but both merely watched Xiao Yan without directly intervening. In truth, even if Qin Shiyin ended up in their hands, she wouldn't survive. As a carefully nurtured prodigy of Yin Valley, betraying the sect brought immense damage and irreparable loss to Yin Valley—such a transgression warranted certain death!
Qin Shiyin, still weak from Xiao Yan's rough treatment, replied, "What he took away was..."
Xiao Yan's eyes blazed with fury. His mask contorted in rage, and he snapped Qin Shiyin's neck in one swift motion. He then tossed her aside carelessly and rushed out of the Sound Valley. The Bodhi Incarnation Saliva was destroyed; remaining in the Sound Valley was pointless.
At this moment, Xiao Yan, who was flying rapidly through the air, was overwhelmed by heart-wrenching pain. His mind was filled with memories of his time with Little Fairy Doctor. He continuously increased his speed, flying towards the mountain range he had been heading towards. At this moment, he couldn't think of anything else; he only prayed that Little Fairy Doctor would hold on!
During the flight, Xiao Yan couldn't hold back any longer and spat out another mouthful of blood. No matter how powerful a secret technique is, it always has side effects. Xiao Yan had activated the Heavenly Flame Three Transformations three times in a single day, pushing his body to its absolute limit. If it weren't for the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body resisting some of his injuries, Xiao Yan would have collapsed even faster than Tang Qiying. He also dared not use his Devouring Power to absorb any Dou Qi energy, as his body was currently extremely weak.
Although his body was extremely weak, fortunately the distance wasn't too far, and Xiao Yan's basic speed was still intact. Before long, he saw the mountain range. Then, a streak of azure light flashed out from the mountain range and caught Xiao Yan.
The person who arrived was none other than Mu Qingluan, who had been protecting Little Fairy Doctor and Qinglin. Seeing Xiao Yan's miserable state, she was startled and immediately came over to support him, asking with concern, "Senior Brother, what happened to you?"
Supported by Mu Qingluan, Xiao Yan's nearly exhausted body felt lighter. His eyes, bloodshot, looked at Mu Qingluan and said, "Enough of this talk, quickly take me to see Little Fairy Doctor!"
"Okay!" Mu Qingluan moved her jade hand, and several streams of azure battle qi escorted Xiao Yan back to the cave where they were originally. Inside the cave, Qinglin and Little Fairy Doctor were sitting cross-legged. Qinglin's eyebrows were furrowed, and her hands were placed on Little Fairy Doctor's flat stomach. The cold air released by Qinglin's hands almost froze the cave.
On the other side, the flesh and blood in Little Fairy Doctor's lower abdomen had become extremely hard and cold due to the invasion of the chilling air. Little Fairy Doctor's aura was much weaker than when Xiao Yan was there. The chilling air of the Nine Netherworld Python could indeed seal the poison of the Calamity Poison Body, but it could also freeze the life force within Little Fairy Doctor's body. Qing Lin knew this wouldn't work, but there was nothing she could do. Compared to the slow-acting chilling air, the uncontrolled Calamity Poison was truly uncontrollable!
Even with Qinglin's careful control, it was only a matter of time before Little Fairy Doctor's life force was frozen to death. Hearing the commotion between Xiao Yan and Mu Qingluan, Qinglin also looked up, only to see Xiao Yan covered in blood.
"Young Master, what's wrong?"
Seeing Little Fairy Doctor's life hanging by a thread, Xiao Yan felt an overwhelming sense of self-reproach. He still said to Qing Lin, "Qing Lin, stop. We need to get to the Northwest Region immediately. Only Senior Chen can save Little Fairy Doctor. Remember, we must be quick..."
As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, the tension in his heart could no longer be contained. After a day of fierce fighting, the backlash from opening the three secret techniques and the injuries to his body surged up at the same time, and Xiao Yan instantly lost all consciousness and fell into a coma.
