Chapter 140 You are not doing your best
Demon Flame Valley?!

Hearing Yao Yan's words, Yuan Yi's expression was slightly stunned, and his heart began to tremble. He did not expect that the other party would target the Demon Flame Valley, which is one of the most powerful forces in the Black Horn Region. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is second only to Canaan Academy. If the ancestor of the Demon Flame Valley was still alive, the other party would not be afraid even if facing Canaan Academy head-on.

Among the four great elders in the sect, three have reached the level of nine-star Douhuang, and the remaining one has also reached the level of five-star Douhuang.

Not to mention the rest of the deacons, elders, and so on.

Yuan Yi looked embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, he persuaded, "Sir, why don't we change our target? There are rumors that the old demon from the Demon Flame Valley is still alive. If we provoke him... we might be in some trouble."

He was actually a little afraid of the Demon Flame Valley, because when his ancestor was still alive, he had commented on the old demon, saying that this man's strength could be ranked among the top five in the entire Black Horn Region. The top five here were not the obvious things like the Black List, but the reputation recognized by many powerful people in the Black Horn Region, and they were earned by their own strength.

"Don't worry, his strength will not exceed that of a Seven-Star Dou Zong at most. With our strength, we are more than capable of dealing with him. What do you think?"

Yao Yan smiled slightly, looked at Yao Lao who was in deep thought, and asked.

In fact, he chose the Demon Flame Valley mainly because the rewards were high enough. Whether it was the Flame Art or the Heavenly Demon Puppet, they were both top-grade skills in the early and middle stages. Moreover, the Demon Flame Valley had existed in the Black Horn Region for hundreds of years. Its history was enough to be on par with Canaan Academy. Its collection must be extremely rich, enough to make Yao Yan's net worth skyrocket.

Moreover, compared to bullying a weak force, destroying the old force in the Black Horn Region, such as the Demon Flame Valley, can recruit some powerful people to serve him.

In a place like the Black Horn Region, most of the strong people are fence-sitters, and will side with whichever side is stronger.

Upon hearing this, Yao Lao paused stroking his beard, twitched his mouth, and glanced at the brat unhappily, saying, "You really treat me as a laborer... But if his strength reaches the level of a Seven-Star Dou Zong, I can only contain him at best in my current state. It would be a bit tricky to completely kill him."

There was a pause.

He sighed, "Now that I don't have a body, I can't use any of my fighting skills. It's hard to kill a true high-level Dou Zong with just my soul power!"

As he said these words, he felt a little depressed. He thought that he was a dignified Medicine Master, but now he had fallen to the point where he couldn't even deal with a Seven-Star Dou Zong. This life was really sad. He used to think that he had excellent vision and knew how to judge people, so he made a close friend like Feng Xian, but now... this vision seemed to have become a joke.

"Are you always so weak?"

Yao Yan was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Yao Lao to say such words. He couldn't even deal with a Seven-Star Dou Zong. Is the Seven-Star Dou Zong very powerful? He remembered that in the original work, the Earth Demon Old Ghost was killed by Qianbaier Lao like a mouse. His status was not even as good as Yunshan.

Yao Lao was so angry that he laughed and said, "You kid really think that high-level Dou Zong is a piece of cake? Even in Zhongzhou, where there are so many powerful people, a Seven-Star Dou Zong is considered a top figure. Very few people and forces dare to provoke him. Even among the many forces in Zhongzhou, this kind of strength is enough to be the ruler of a region."

He didn't know whether to be happy or cry. Yao Yan really thought highly of him!
If the Seven-Star Dou Zong is so easy to kill, then the Dou Zong is too cheap.

"Sir, it's not just the problem with the old demon. The two old men, Jin and Yin, are not trustworthy people. You can win them over with the Po Zong Dan, and they will definitely not refuse. But once we fall into a weak position, the two will definitely turn against us... We can't count on them."

Yuan Yi tried to persuade Yao Yan to give up the idea, saying that the Demon Flame Valley was really difficult to deal with.

If several elders of the Demon Flame Valley had not been in seclusion at this auction, perhaps Mo Tianxing would not have had any chance. A one-star Dou Zong might seem powerful, but if he faced several nine-star Dou Huang masters, he might not have had an easy time. Just like the two elders Jin and Yin were able to fight against a Dou Zong master together, three Dou Huang masters were enough to cause trouble to a one-star Dou Zong. Even if he could not be defeated, it would not be a problem to contain him.

Cai Lin did not say anything. Her deep purple eyes looked at Yao Yan quietly, waiting for Yao Yan to make a decision. She believed that Yao Yan would not get carried away and do anything unrealistic.

"Do you think the Soul Palace will intervene?"

Yao Yan closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then looked at Yao Lao beside him and asked.

"?!"

Yao Lao was shocked when he heard this, and his expression showed a bit of surprise. He was silent for a while, and then his voice suddenly condensed, saying: "You want to cooperate with the people in the Soul Palace? Boy, I have to remind you that the people in the Soul Palace are not characters that can be used by others. They are very greedy and are extremely obsessed with powerful soul bodies. If they know that I am still alive, believe it or not, the people in the Soul Palace will stick to me like dog skin plasters."

"If you really have this idea, I can only persuade you to give up. After all, with your talent, you only need time to become the strongest person in Douqi Continent. There is no need to put yourself in such a dangerous situation!"

Having said this.

There was a hint of confusion in his eyes again, and he continued, "I have always been confused. You seem very anxious!"

With Yao Yan's talent, there is no need to be so urgent. In about ten years at most, he will be able to step into the Dou Zong level, or even touch the Dou Zun realm. In a hundred years, he can reach the limit of Dou Zun and try to break through to Dou Sheng. As long as he does not die halfway, there is almost no barrier to cultivation. And with the strange skills like Fen Jue, the combination of the two, Yao Yan will definitely become the first person he sees becoming a Dou Sheng!

"If you are weak, you cannot control your own destiny. The Black Horn Region is a miniature version of the Douqi Continent..." Yao Yan smiled slightly and said calmly.

He was indeed very anxious. The torture he had suffered at the hands of Hunxuzi had almost developed into a conditioned reflex, which made him obsessed with strength. This obsession was above everything else, even love between men and women had to be put aside, because in a world like the Douluo Continent, without strength, everything was fleeting.

What's more, the troubles of the Soul Clan are just the beginning. The extraterritorial evil clan in the Great Thousand World is an even bigger trouble.

He followed the path of Emperor Yan in the original novel. There will inevitably be a vacancy among the three most powerful people in the future. It is also unknown whether the world will of the universe will create a god again, just like Muchen... In fact, in Yao Yan's opinion, whether it is Muchen or Xiao Yan and others, they are all like "saints" bound by the universe. The so-called Sky List is even more interesting. The real strong people do not attribute the great power to themselves. Instead, they need the help of the Sky List to mobilize the power of the world, and even use it to break through the realm of the great master.

The realm of the great master is like a "holy" position bestowed by the way of heaven.

What is the use of such a holy position?
Compared with the realm of the Great Lord, Yao Yan appreciates the idea of ​​the evil demons from outside the domain to devour the entire world. Cultivation should allow the great power to belong to oneself, so that there is no need to fear anything.

However, all these are still far from Yao Yan's, and he cannot reach that level yet. But this does not mean that he is not anxious. The sooner he breaks through, the sooner he can enter the game. If he really waits until the late stage, it will be too late... The evil god will not give Yao Yan time to practice slowly that day.

The other party has been planning for ten thousand years, and it seems that the final deadline is only two or three hundred years away.

Two or three hundred years.

Breaking through from Dou Wang to Saint Level Heavenly Supreme... How could Yao Yan not feel a bit anxious? However, he could not confide these words to outsiders, not even to himself. God knows whether the will of the universe would notice it.

The Sky List, where one needs to leave their name, is quite strange.

"But cultivation also needs to be done step by step. Being too impatient is not good." Yao Lao said earnestly. He didn't want Yao Yan to become the kind of person who only knew how to pursue strength. There are many beautiful things in this world. Indulging in cultivation will only miss those beautiful scenery. Even if you reach the peak, what will it matter? Do people have to become slaves to strength?
"You can rest assured about this. I will practice as much as I can, but I will still keep an eye on the scenery along the road." Yao Yan smiled and turned his gaze to Cai Lin on the side and blinked at her.

"...Why are you looking at me?" Cai Lin was slightly stunned, then her eyes turned cold, her red lips slightly parted, and she asked, "I am not the scenery on your side of the road!"

"You are the scenery on my life path... a very unique scenery that is hard to forget at first sight."

Yao Yan smiled and said as a matter of course.

Faced with Yao Yan's naked gaze, Cai Lin was a little overwhelmed and turned away, not wanting to keep looking at him. She always felt a little inexplicably flustered in her heart, which made her very annoyed.

Sir, please stop flirting with girls... Yuan Yi was speechless as he watched Yao Yan, who was chatting with girls. He felt that the other party was too unreliable. It would have been fine if he had targeted the Demon Flame Valley before, but later on, he seemed to want to bring the Soul Palace into the group. He had also heard of the infamous Soul Palace.

They were a bunch of ruthless characters who would eat people without leaving any bones. If an ordinary person killed someone, at most they would just slap their head on the ground, but when the Soul Palace killed someone, they would not even let go of the soul, and the bodies of the strong would also be preserved. There was truly no waste at all.

If you cooperate with these people, you really think your life is not long enough.

"But I still decided to start with the Demon Flame Valley... The Demon Flame Valley is the oldest force in the Black Horn Region, and its status is special. Only by destroying it can the strength we create surpass the entire Black Horn Region. I plan to win over Canaan College to join us."

Yao Yan teased Cai Lin for a while, then his expression returned to normal and he spoke softly.

"Canaan College has never been involved in the power disputes in the Black Horn Region. Its status in the Black Horn Region is extremely special." Yuan Yi was stunned and said.

"There are no eternal rules in this world."

Yao Yan said softly.

There was a pause.

He slowly stood up, straightened his collar, and said with a smile: "I plan to apply for the position of teacher at Canaan College later, and chat with the chief elder of Canaan College by the way."

"..."

Hearing this, Yao Lao and the others were all stunned into silence. Looking at the serious Yao Yan, they all understood that this kid was not joking. Other people of his age went to be students, but Yao Yan went to be a teacher. However, with his strength and level of alchemist, it is obviously more than enough for him to be a teacher in Canaan College.

Yao Lao twitched his lips and said, "Have you thought about it?"

Yao Yan couldn't help but complain when he heard this, "I have to go and take a look sooner or later, don't I? It's mainly because you're not sure, otherwise why would I have to go around in circles like this, and even find a way to get Canaan College to help me, trouble~"

Yao Lao's mouth twitched, feeling offended.

"what about me?"

Cai Lin stared at Yao Yan coldly and asked.

Yao Yan handed a jade pendant with his soul mark to Cai Lin and said softly, "You and Yao Lao will stay in Black Seal City for the time being. If anything unexpected happens, you crush this jade pendant and I will rush back as quickly as possible. As for the time I'm away, you can just wait and see. This riot will not stop so quickly."

Cai Lin took the jade pendant and said nothing. She just stared at Yao Yan coldly and said, "Don't forget what you promised me."

"I will never forget what I promised you. When I break through to Dou Huang, I will definitely help you advance!"

Yao Yan promised.

When he breaks through to the Douhuang level, his control over the strange fire will definitely rise to several levels, and he may be able to help Cai Lin evolve in a more reliable way. Even if he fails, saving the other person's life will not be a problem. With his alchemy skills, as long as the other person does not die on the spot, he is confident that he can restore him.

……

……

Blackhorn Region, Maple City,

The door that had been closed for a long time was slowly pushed open, and a young man in a light golden brocade robe slowly walked out. His face was a little gloomy, and he seemed to be in a bad mood. His fists were clenched tightly, and a light blue flame was faintly visible in his pupils, making his temperament even more gloomy.

"Damn you old thing, if you had handed me the Burning Technique intact back then, there wouldn't have been this incident!"

The man cursed under his breath, obviously in a very bad mood.

This person was naturally Han Feng, the Medicine King of the Black Horn Region. He had been in seclusion for several months and had just come out again. The reason for his seclusion was naturally to deal with the Sea Heart Flame that was constantly raging in his body. With the power of the elixir, he barely used the incomplete Burning Decree to devour the Sea Heart Flame. Thanks to this, he stepped into the realm of Dou Huang.

But then, trouble came.

Perhaps it was because the Burning Decree was incomplete that his fusion with the Sea Heart Flame was not complete. The two had a huge rejection reaction, just like someone else's organ was forced into his body. How could the two fit together perfectly? Moreover, the strange fire was even more violent than this thing. If it weren't for his strong soul power and the help of elixirs, his body might have collapsed long ago.

"If I swallow the second kind of strange fire, maybe I can keep the two in relative balance..."

Han Feng's eyes flickered and he muttered to himself.

If Yao Yan were here at this moment, he might admire Han Feng's genius for being able to come up with such a dangerous idea. However, it must be said that this idea is possible to realize. Relying on the incomplete Burning Technique, as long as the two kinds of strange fire can be maintained in the balanced state of the Fire Lotus, the body will naturally no longer have a rejection reaction.

But if you do this, you will also turn into a human-shaped fire lotus and become explosive!
