Crossing to Douqi Continent and walking sideways

After Xiao Yan left, Xiao Muchen fell into deep thought for a long time. He knew that he was able to escape from the desperate situation of the dark fog, which almost meant death, all thanks to Xiao Yan's god-like help. The huge gap in strength between him and Xiao Yan, like a chasm, struck his heart again and again like a heavy hammer, and made his determination to become stronger, like a burning flame, more firm and unshakable.

After returning to Lingyun Sect, Xiao Muchen chose to retreat immediately without a moment's rest. In that quiet secret room, he sat alone, replaying every thrilling detail of the battle with Mingwu in his mind like a movie. He carefully reflected on every decision and move he made in the battle, looking for those subtle shortcomings that might lead to failure. At the same time, he also constantly replayed in his mind Xiao Yan's powerful means of defusing crises with ease, trying to comprehend a higher level of cultivation and combat skills from those fragments.

During the retreat, Xiao Muchen put all his energy into the research and control of the strange fire. He knew that the strange fire was a powerful aid in his battle, but his current control over the strange fire, although it had made significant progress compared to the past, was still far from enough when facing a truly powerful person. He decided to deeply explore the characteristics of the three strange fires, the Netherworld Poison Fire, the Wind and Thunder Fury Flame, and the Purple Blue Nether Lotus Fire, trying to dig out their hidden secrets and further integrate their power in order to exert a stronger and more shocking power.

After several days of hard thinking and countless dangerous attempts, Xiao Muchen finally had a new breakthrough in the quiet of the night. At that moment, the three kinds of fire seemed to be pulled by some mysterious force, and began to slowly approach each other, interweave, and merge. In the end, they successfully merged into one, forming a new form of flame. This fire presents a brilliant blue-purple color, like a dreamlike color, and it also faintly flashes with a mysterious and deep light, as if it contains endless power and unknown mysteries. Xiao Muchen stared at this new fire, his heart full of excitement and pride, and he named it "Phantom God Dark Flame".

However, before Xiao Muchen could fully feel and get familiar with the power of this new strange fire, a rapid and anxious knock on the door sounded outside the secret room like thunder.

"Xiao Muchen, open the door quickly!" The voice was full of urgency and anxiety.

Xiao Muchen frowned slightly, slowly opened his eyes, stood up and opened the door. As soon as the door opened, his eyes were attracted by the scene in front of him. He saw an extremely beautiful woman standing outside the door. Her skin was as white as snow and as delicate as mutton-fat jade, emitting a soft luster under the moonlight. Her eyes were like ice-blue gems, deep and cold, flashing a heart-moving light. Her long silver hair fell like a waterfall to her slender waist, swaying gently with the breeze, and every strand seemed to have its own life. Her figure was graceful, but she exuded a noble and inviolable temperament, which made people fall in love with her.

Xiao Muchen was shocked at first, then lost in thought for a moment, and then exclaimed: "You, you, you are actually... a lioness!"

The beautiful woman who was transformed from the Ice Soul Saint Lion was named Ling Shuang. When she heard Xiao Muchen's name, she instantly became furious. Her beautiful eyes widened and she said coquettishly, "Why? No! If I could beat you, I would have to beat you up, humph!"

Xiao Muchen was embarrassed and quickly waved his hands and said, "This is purely an accident, hehehe. So what's the situation now?"

Ling Shuang was extremely anxious and said quickly, "I came to you this time because someone in the tribe sent me an urgent message saying that our Ice Soul Saint Lion tribe was besieged by a group of evil forces. Their goal is to get our tribe's treasure - the Ice Soul Saint Crystal. This Ice Soul Saint Crystal is a priceless treasure. It can not only help people practice, but also greatly improve a person's physical strength. When I came out of the tribe to gain experience and dominated that valley, you gave me..."

Xiao Muchen said quickly: "Don't worry about the past for now, we have to go and take a look without delay. Oh, I'll ask Wan'er to come along."

Xiao Muchen quickly found Wan'er. When Wan'er saw Ling Shuang, her eyes opened wide, full of surprise and admiration: "This sister is so beautiful." But just a moment later, she came to her senses, jealousy instantly surged in her heart, and she angrily questioned Xiao Muchen: "Who is this!"

When Xiao Muchen saw Wan'er's jealous look, he suddenly panicked and hurriedly explained: "This is the Ice Soul Saint Lion! It's just that she is a girl. I just found out about this."

After hearing this, Wan'er still pouted her lips slightly, obviously still a little dissatisfied, but she also understood that the situation was urgent at the moment and it was not the time to dwell on these things, so she said no more.

So, the three of them prepared to set off. Xiao Muchen said, "Ling Shuang, the situation is urgent. We are all Dou Sheng masters, so let's teleport directly over there."

Ling Shuang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll lead the way."

The three of them held hands, Ling Shuang took a deep breath, and mobilized the deep power in his body. In an instant, the surrounding space seemed to be thrown into the surface of a lake with stones, and ripples appeared. Their figures gradually became blurred, as if they were about to merge into this void.

During the process of moving in space, Xiao Muchen felt an unprecedented strong pressure and twisting force. The surrounding scene became blurred, with only endless darkness and flickering strange light. He held Wan'er and Ling Shuang's hands tightly, not daring to relax at all, for fear of losing each other in this chaotic space.

Although Wan'er still felt a little jealous, she was concentrating fully at this moment, trying to deal with the strong discomfort and unknown dangers brought about by the movement of space.

Ling Shuang was concentrating on controlling the direction of movement. Beads of sweat oozed out of her forehead. She was extremely anxious. Dangerous scenes that her tribesmen might encounter kept appearing in her mind. She was worried about their safety.

After an unknown amount of time, which seemed like a century, they finally emerged from the disturbing space passage. Xiao Muchen felt dizzy, lost his balance, and almost fell.

"We're finally out. There's still some distance to go, so let's keep going." There was a hint of fatigue in Ling Shuang's voice, but more of eagerness.

The three of them did not dare to stop for a moment. They instantly turned into three streams of light and rushed towards the territory of the Ice Soul Holy Lion clan.

Along the way, Xiao Muchen's mind was filled with thoughts. He didn't know what kind of powerful and cruel enemy would be waiting for them, nor did he know what kind of dangerous and difficult battle he would face, but there was no fear or retreat in his eyes, and he was ready to go all out and fight to the end.

Wan'er followed him closely and said softly, "Brother Muchen, no matter what, I will face it with you."

Xiao Muchen felt warm in his heart, nodded slightly, and gave Wan'er a firm look.

Ling Shuang glanced at them, feeling secretly grateful, and at the same time increased her flying speed.

Not long after, they arrived at the Beast Domain. Before they got close, they could see from afar that many powerful warriors with strong auras were surrounding the territory of the Ice Soul Saint Lion Clan. These warriors had different forms. Some were burning with flames, as if they could turn everything into ashes; some were wrapped in lightning, crackling and frightening; and some exuded a strange dark aura, as if they were demons from the abyss.

When Ling Shuang saw this scene, her eyes instantly turned red, and she shouted angrily: "You evil thieves, how dare you attack my clan!"

Xiao Muchen and Wan'er also looked solemn. Looking at the powerful enemy before them, their fighting spirit was completely ignited, ready to face the upcoming fierce battle...
