This Void Devouring Flame seems a bit strange

After a dizzy spell, Xuwu Tunyan's vision gradually became clear. His hand was still at the moment when it just touched the Burning Art, and Xiao Yan on the opposite side did not react at all.

Obviously, what seemed like a long time just now was actually just a moment outside.

"Senior Xu Yan, please take a look."

"Okay." Void Devouring Flame opened the scroll and began to browse the contents.

Thanks to the support of powerful soul force, Void Devouring Flame's memory is beyond ordinary people. A scroll that would normally take a while to read even if one could read ten lines at a glance was quickly finished by Void Devouring Flame, who also remembered it firmly.

“Well, it is indeed a very promising technique.” Void Swallowing Flame rolled up the scroll and returned it to Xiao Yan. “However, Xiao Yan, this thing called Strange Fire is not only the strongest and most violent thing, but also extremely rare. It is considered lucky for an ordinary person to find one in a lifetime, let alone swallow it and absorb it. In this Douqi Continent, there are many people who have been burned to ashes by Strange Fire during the swallowing and absorption process.”

Although he knew that Xiao Yan would definitely learn, Void Devouring Flame still gave him a symbolic reminder.

“How could I not understand what the senior said?” Xiao Yan raised his head and looked directly at Void Devouring Flame. His dark pupils were pure and he did not show any sign of retreating. “But, if you don’t even have this little bit of courage, how can you become stronger?”

“Pa pa” Xuwu Tunyan clapped his hands twice, “As expected, the young man is full of heroic spirit!” Then he handed the scroll of earth-level skills to Xiao Yan, “But you should still take this, maybe it will come in handy if you change your mind one day.”

Xiao Yan still declined: "No need, if I take this technique, I might not be so focused on practicing the Burning Technique, and that would be more trouble than it's worth."

"Well... okay." Void Devouring Flame put away the scroll.

"Xiao Yan, what are your plans for the future?" Void Swallowing Flame asked indirectly, "I heard that Canaan College will start recruiting students soon. You can definitely apply for it if you have the qualifications. However, I heard that it is not very convenient to ask for leave there, which may affect your duel with Nalan Yanran... Do you want me to say a few words to them for you?"

"I'll find a way to do this." Xiao Yan smiled, "I've almost figured it out. I'll take a year off so I can go to the academy after the three-year agreement is over."

"What about this year?"

"Of course I'm going out to gain experience." Xiao Yan spread his hands, "After all, the only way to get Strange Fire is to go out and try your luck."

"That's true." Although Void Devouring Flame could give Xiao Yan his own sub-fire right now, that would be too powerful, so he did not do so.

"It seems that you have already made your own plans. I don't have much to guide you. Just go ahead and do it boldly. I believe in you."

Void Swallowed Flame smiled and turned away. The next moment, he appeared in front of a mansion in Teran City and knocked on the door twice.

"Who is it?" A clear female voice sounded and the door was pushed open.

"it's me."

"Mr. Xu Yan?" Yu Xiao was surprised. "Why are you here?"

"I came back to see you. What? You don't welcome me? Then I'm leaving." Xuwu Tunyan made a gesture to leave.

“No, no, please come in.” Yu Xiao hurriedly pulled Xuwu Tunyan into the mansion, “Aya, Mr. Xu Yan is back!”

"Mr. Xu Yan!" Galiya couldn't help but be delighted when he saw Xuwu Tunyan: "Mr. Xu Yan, I heard that you helped the royal family before but were kicked out by them. Is that true?"

"Don't worry, I'll tell you about this slowly..."

In the spacious living room, Xuwu Tunyan recounted all his recent events, from his conflict with the Nalan family in the Holy City of Gama, to accepting Ganuo's commission and successfully preventing the Yunlan Sect from assassinating Gat, to exposing the Yunlan Sect's despicable behavior of killing people to silence them, to his conflict with Yun Yun, and so on.

The two were so engrossed in listening that they even forgot to add more tea to their cups.

"The Nalan family is so shameless! How dare they do such a thing! Mr. Xu Yan, you should have killed him directly at the beginning!" Yu Xiao said indignantly.

"There's no need for that." Xuwu Tunyan didn't care. Although it would feel good to kill guys like Nalan Hao, it would be more satisfying to see them get beaten up after losing their power.

"There's no need to dirty my hands with this kind of guy who bullies others by taking advantage of his power. Once the Nalan family loses power, there will be many people who want him dead."

Void Swallowing Flame sneered and said, "They won't be able to jump around for a few more years."

"The Yunlan Sect is too arrogant. They actually dared to send people to assassinate members of the royal family?" Jialeya couldn't believe it. "Aren't they afraid of breaking off relations with the royal family?"

"The fear of a falling out with the other party is based on the premise that the other party may have a sufficiently negative impact on oneself."

Void Devouring Flame patiently explained, "Although at present, the gap between the royal family and the Yunlan Sect is not big, the Yunlan Sect has been inserting people into the royal family in an attempt to erode the royal family from within. I can even be sure that once the assassination is successful, they will immediately replace Gat with their own people. Otherwise, how could they make this move? Unfortunately, this move was defeated by me. I also created a public opinion crisis for them. You should have seen that scene, right?"

Yu Xiao and Jialeya nodded. Yu Xiao had no good impression of Yunlan Sect because of Xiao Yan's incident. After watching the video and listening to what Xuwu Tunyan said, he felt even worse about Yunlan Sect. And Jialeya's initial admiration for Yunlan Sect was completely wiped out in the face of these despicable and disgusting facts.

“That Yun Yun is really speechless. When something like this happens, shouldn’t the first reaction be to admit the mistake, apologize, and save the sect’s reputation?” Galiya complained.

"Otherwise, how could I have taught Nalan Yanran? There's a saying that goes, a good teacher produces good students." Void Swallowing Flame teased, "Look at Nalan Yanran. In terms of lack of emotional intelligence and lack of brains, she's just like a half-sister."

"Eat brains?"

"Oh, it means turning your brain. It's a common expression in my area. It doesn't mean eating brains."

"Those people in the royal family are so ungrateful! Mr. Xu Yan clearly helped them, but they actually..." Yu Xiao said indignantly.

"I can understand them." Void Devouring Flame said with a smile.

Yu Xiao and Galea were both puzzled: "Understand?"

"In fact, I agreed to let them issue a notice to sever ties with me. After all, given the royal family's current situation, the cost of breaking up with the Yunlan Sect is too high, and I am a wanderer. It is really not worth it for them to get into unnecessary trouble because of me."

Although Xuwu Tunyan is a fun-loving person, it doesn't mean that he likes to get others into trouble.

While the three of them were chatting happily, the atmosphere in the Yunlan Sect on the other side was not so joyful.

"What about the information I asked you to find out before?" Yun Leng looked at the person under his feet and said coldly.

"Great Elder, they are all here." The disciple in charge of gathering information presented a scroll.

"Xu Yan, of unknown origin and identity, appeared in Wutan City some time ago, setting up a stall to make a living. He once helped Xiao Yan out of a siege on the road. Later, he was invited to the Xiao family and bought one of their maids for a large sum of money. During this time, he had a conflict with the young master and Elder Ge Ye. After that, he left the Xiao family and was invited by the Jialie family, and bought a girl from their side branch."

"It is said that he once pointed out Xiao Yan's illness, and not long after that, Xiao Yan's talent was restored."

“Hmph, it seems this guy has a good relationship with Xiao Yan…” Yun Leng said with hatred. Although Xiao Yan has now recovered his talent, as the grand elder of the Yunlan Sect, the arrogance in his bones still makes him look down on Xiao Yan.

"The Great Elder means... to deal with the Xiao family?"

"Of course not. Since we have already made a three-year agreement, there is no need for us to take action. If we take action now, it will make us look too petty." Yun Leng's voice was cold, "Anyway, when the three-year agreement is reached, after the young master defeats that kid, the Xiao family will be finished."

"What does the Great Elder mean?"

"Didn't he buy two women? Since he is willing to spend the money, let him pay for it." Yun Leng said sinisterly.
