This Void Devouring Flame seems a bit strange

Seeing Ge Ye running away in panic, Xiao Zhan was about to raise his hand to signal everyone to leave, but Xuwu Tunyan suddenly said, "Wait a minute, Chief Xiao, I have something else to say."

"What's the matter?" Hearing this, Xiao Zhan was a little confused for a moment.

The third elder on the side couldn't help himself: "Mr. Xu, do you know what you did today? That's the Yunlan Sect. If you anger them like this, it will definitely put the Xiao family in an embarrassing situation!"

"Third Elder!" Xiao Zhan's voice became louder. "Everyone has left. There's no need to make a fuss about this matter!"

"I know that everyone here thinks that I just added fuel to the fire in this situation, which is bound to make Yunlan Sect even more angry."

Void Devouring Flame didn't care. "But, the fact that others came to humiliate me shows that they don't have any respect at all. They are bullied to the face, but they still want to kowtow. Isn't that too embarrassing? Besides, it was me who angered them. Even if they want to retaliate afterwards, they should target me."

Xuwu Tunyan looked calm. During this period, the Yunlan Sect still had to have some dignity. At least at this stage, they would not specifically pick on the Xiao family. Even if his actions attracted their attention and they chose to retaliate, their target would definitely not be the Xiao family first, but himself or people close to him. He was quite happy to play with these guys. Whether turning them into "acquaintances" or making them fire slaves, it was a good idea.

Of course, in the end, the Yunlan Sect really "lost all their face", but that is a matter for the future.

"If you are still worried, I will leave the Xiao family today. I don't think the Yunlan Sect will vent their anger on the Xiao family just because of me, an outsider, right?"

"What are you talking about, Mr. Xu? Although my Xiao family is not as good as the Yunlan Sect, it is not as bad as..."

Xiao Zhan wanted to say something else, but Xuwu Tunyan raised his hand to stop him, "But before I leave, I have one last thing to do."

"What's the matter?" Not only Xiao Zhan, but also Xiao Yan and others beside him couldn't help but look at him.

"I can find out why Young Master Xiao Yan's strength cannot be improved."

After Xuwu Tunyan finished speaking, the hall fell into silence, an unusual silence.

The whole hall was so quiet that you could hear even the sound of a pin drop, but this atmosphere was soon replaced by noise. Some people suspected that he was a liar, while others were angry because they thought he was malicious and making fun of himself.

Xuwu Tunyan didn't care about the noise, but turned directly to Xiao Zhan: "Patriarch Xiao, can you find a quiet room for me to talk to Master Xiao Yan alone?"

"Of course I can, but..." Xiao Zhan was about to say something, but Xiao Xun'er beside him suddenly said, "Mr. Xu, can I come with you?"

In this kind of situation where the two of them were alone, it was inevitable that Xiao Xun'er, as the future mistress of the Endless Fire Domain, would be wary of himself. Xuwu Tunyan replied directly: "Of course. But Chief Xiao, can you go and calm them down first?" Then he pointed to the agitated crowd.

Xiao Zhan understood and nodded, "Okay." Then he stared at the noisy crowd and said, "Why are you still arguing here? Let's go away."

After hearing Xiao Zhan's order, everyone could only leave the hall with grumbles.

"Sir, please follow me." Xiao Zhan led Void Devouring Flame towards a passage, and Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er followed behind.

On the way, Xiao Zhan looked a little apologetic: "Mr. Xu, you just came to support Yan'er, Xiao is very grateful..."

Xuwu Tunyan waved his hand: "That's not necessary. I can't stand that group of people. Not only do they have no respect for others, but they are also stingy to death. I think if this sect continues to be like this, it will be destroyed sooner or later."

"We're here. Please come in." Xiao Zhan walked towards a room, opened the door and left. Only Xuwu Tunyan, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er were left in the room.

"Mr. Xu, do you think you can find out the reason why my strength has declined?" Although Xiao Yan was a little skeptical, what happened today had made him extremely yearn for strength. If it weren't for his low strength, why would he suffer such an insult?

Xiao Xun'er on the side said nothing, but there was also a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"Of course, Master Xiao Yan, I have learned a little about your affairs in the past few days and have come to a rough conclusion. Now please stretch out your hand. I only need to check your meridians to determine the answer."

"...Okay." Although he had some doubts, seeing that the other party only proposed the traditional idea of ​​checking the meridians, Xiao Yan's doubts were reduced a little. He then stretched out his hand, and Xuwu Tunyan gently stroked the palm of Xiao Yan. The gentle fighting spirit circulated in Xiao Yan's body, and then returned to Xuwu Tunyan's hand.

"Hmm... I see, that's how it is." After retracting his fighting spirit, Xuwu Tunyan showed a satisfied expression.

"Mr. Xu, may I ask..."

"Don't be impatient. I need to explain the reason in detail." Xuwu Tunyan said with a smile, picked up the teapot on the table next to him, and poured a glass of water into the teacup.

"For example, if we compare the condensed fighting spirit to the tea and the human body to the cup, then ordinary cultivation is to draw energy from heaven and earth and enter the body, which is equivalent to pouring water from a teapot into the cup."

"And if the Dou Qi in a person's body is always lost, in other words, this cup can no longer hold water, then there are probably two possibilities. One possibility is that too many meridians are broken and the cup can no longer hold water. Fortunately, Master Xiao Yan is not in this situation."

"The other situation is like this." Xuwu Tunyan said, drinking the tea in the cup. "The cup can hold water, but the water has been drunk, so there is no water in the cup. Although there is no water in both cases, the reasons are completely different."

"Then you mean..."

"That's right, there is no problem with your talent, but the Dou Qi that you cultivated and should have possessed was absorbed by another existence, which is very likely the soul of a powerful person. And when I was using the Dou Qi to investigate just now, I found that part of the Dou Qi disappeared when it approached it. I think the problem should be with it." Void Devouring Flame pointed at the ring hanging on Xiao Yan's neck.

"You mean this ring? But this ring is..."

Xiao Xun'er pulled Xuwu Tunyan over and said softly, "Mr. Xu, this ring is a relic of Xiao Yan's mother..."

"Ahem, don't worry about that. There's nothing wrong with the ring itself. The problem is that there should be a soul living in it. All we have to do next is find a way to activate it, and then there should be no problem."

"Then how do I stimulate it?" Xiao Yan blurted out.

"Don't worry. It has absorbed your Dou Qi for three years, and just now it absorbed some of mine. I think it should be close to waking up. Of course, you can also try external stimulation, such as dropping it." Xuwu Tunyan added, "But I don't recommend it. Although this ring can't be easily broken, it's not good to drop such an important thing."

Taking advantage of Xiao Yan's moment of surprise, Xuwu Tunyan walked out of the room and winked at Xiao Xun'er. Although Xiao Xun'er didn't know the other party's intention, she still chose to follow him.

"Miss Xun'er, I guess you must be worried. If you are worried and want to find out the truth, it is best to make sure not to be discovered. This kind of soul is usually very sensitive. I can't guarantee that it will not do anything extreme after being discovered. If you really want to find out the truth..."

Xuwu Tunyan suddenly stopped talking and blew a whistle. Following the whistle, an eagle came over, landed quickly and stood steadily on his shoulder.

"This is what I tamed in my spare time. Miss Xun'er, please put your hand on its head."

Xun'er hesitated for a moment, but still did as she was told and put her hand on the eagle's head. Suddenly, she felt as if she had established a wonderful connection with the eagle.

"You can close your eyes and experience it now. It's very interesting." Void Tunyan said with a smile.

Xun'er closed her eyes, but her vision did not become dark. Instead, it became clearer than before. She could even see the small insects on the leaves in the distance clearly.

"Isn't it clear? This is a kind of vision sharing, originally used to gather intelligence. It's a little trick that's better than nothing. With the eagle's vision, any unusual movement can be seen clearly. And no matter how cautious that soul is, it is impossible to focus on an ordinary eagle. Also, please rest assured that the connection effect will only last for three days and will disappear by itself after three days. Well, this is all I can do. I hope it works. Goodbye."

After saying that, Xuwu Tunyan did not plan to stay any longer, and he chose to leave directly. After a brief greeting to Xiao Zhan, he left through the Xiao family's main gate.

Looking at the Xiao family mansion, Xuwu Tunyan breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that some of his extra operations during this period would not lead to the so-called butterfly effect. He did not have the wisdom of Okabe Ryutaro to deal with the changes in the world line.
