Battle Through the Heavens: Even without the Burning Flame Technique, I, Xiao Yan, still became an e

"Azure Scales, is it in here?"

Xiao Yan and his two brothers, along with Qing Lin, followed her senses and arrived at a sand dune in the eastern part of Stone Desert City.

This place is completely deserted, rarely visited by humans, and even rare to encounter a magical beast.

In fact, most people wouldn't take a little girl's words to heart, but Xiao Yan always felt that Qing Lin had some special abilities, and therefore trusted her exceptionally.

"Yes, young master, I can sense that this is the last place she appeared, and it seems that she hasn't been gone for very long, probably only a few days."

As for more details, Qinglin didn't know. After all, she only had a vague sense of it. If the other party's aura hadn't been so strong, she wouldn't have been able to detect their presence across a city.

"Alright, since Qinglin says it's here, let's look for it here."

Xiao Yan, Xiao Ding, and Xiao Li began searching through the sand dunes, but apart from the yellow sand and strong winds, there seemed to be nothing special there.

"Aside from being a little hotter than other places, there doesn't seem to be anything else here."

Xiao Ding possessed wood-attribute fighting spirit, making him extremely sensitive to temperature and skilled at probing, yet he found nothing unusual.

Xiao Yan believed that Qing Lin wouldn't lie, so there was only one possibility: he hadn't searched thoroughly enough.

He stood atop a sand dune. If there was no ground, then there were only two places left to explore: the sky and the ground.

The sun blazed brightly over the desert, the sky was cloudless, and there was nothing at all. If that was the case, then what he was looking for was very likely underground.

"Second brother, go back to the mercenary group first and have the brothers bring exploration tools. Perhaps there is some cave or ruins hidden down there."

Xiao Ding's mind worked quickly. Who knows what this desert looked like a few years ago? Maybe there really is some kind of relic there.

"Okay, please wait here for a moment. I will bring people over shortly."

Xiao Li nodded and quickly disappeared into the desert.

Xiao Yan attempted to penetrate the area with his soul power, but this place was indeed strange. His soul power could not penetrate very far before encountering some kind of obstacle, making it difficult to advance even an inch.

However, this only made Xiao Yan more certain about the situation in this territory, and he trusted Qing Lin's words even more.

Half an hour later, dozens of elite mercenaries arrived at the sand dunes with various tools.

Xiao Ding divided the area for them, and everyone began to explore in an orderly manner.

Xiao Yan's matter is more important than any other mission, and we are willing to spare no effort even if it means sending half of our manpower.

As the exploration progressed deeper, the sand dunes gradually revealed their hidden topography.

Even after digging several meters, they still didn't feel any difference from other places.

"Continue the exploration. If you get tired, take turns resting to avoid dragging it out and causing unforeseen problems."

Xiao Ding sounded somewhat worried, as his commotion this time was too great and might alert the Sand Mercenary Group.

However, the thought that his third brother was a genuine Dou Ling expert dispelled these worries.

Just as the exploration work was in full swing, a group of people arrived in the distance, looking travel-worn.

They weren't carrying tools, but rather weapons. The leader had a cold and arrogant look on his face, clearly someone used to being domineering.

"Wow, this place is really nice. It's so special that it has attracted the personal attention of the two leaders of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group. It must have some amazing treasure."

The man immediately launched into a sarcastic remark, and Xiao Li, with his fiery temper, retorted sharply.

"Who do we have here? It's the dog whose spine I almost broke before, Moxing. If your owner hadn't intervened in time, you would probably be dead by now."

To say that my Shaluo doesn't even know how to raise a dog, and is constantly causing trouble for herself, isn't she afraid of one day getting what she deserves?

"You're all talk and no action. I hereby officially declare that this area is under the control of my Sand Mercenary Group. If you don't leave, then my Sand Mercenary Group will have to carry out a forceful expulsion."

"Pfft."

The other person's words drew a burst of suppressed laughter, and Xiao Yan finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Forceful expulsion? You think you can just be a Star Dou Master?" Xiao Yan was amused by the other party. This was the first time he had ever seen someone with a lower cultivation level threaten someone with a higher cultivation level.

"Where did you come from? Do you even have the right to speak here?"

The very next second after he spoke, a bolt of lightning erupted, and silver lightning crackled around Xiao Li's body as he thrust out his lightning spear.

Namo Xing didn't expect Xiao Li to dare to attack directly, so he could only hurriedly defend himself. However, his strength was far inferior to Xiao Li's. Even with his Dou Qi Gauze Robe spread out, he was still struck by lightning, his whole body was charred black, and his hair stood on end.

"Stop, stand still! You dare to retreat, you dare to retreat? I roar!"

An electric current flowed through Mo Xing's entire body, even numbing his tongue, making it difficult for him to speak normally.

"Who do you think you are, daring to talk to my brother like that? Get lost, or next time it won't be so simple."

Xiao Li wouldn't tolerate this guy's behavior. He was ready to fight at the slightest provocation. If it weren't for the fact that the Sand Mercenary Group had a Grand Dou Master, he would have laid the guy down on the spot.

"Garlic, garlic is ruthless! I'll take turns watching!"

Having suffered a great loss, Mo Xing was naturally not going to let it go, and immediately led his men away in a sorry state.

"Without a doubt, this guy went to exaggerate for his master. You know, Sharo is a decent person, so how did he end up with such a thing?"

Xiao Yan could also tell that his two older brothers were unwilling to get entangled in the matter, seemingly because they were wary of the other party's powerful backer, a Grand Dou Master.

"Big brother, second brother, why make it so complicated? You two keep an eye on this place. As for that Shaluo, I'll go and reason with him."

While Grand Masters might be troublesome for my two elder brothers, they're nothing to me. I can handle things that they can't do myself.

I'm about to leave here, so I'll try my best to help my second brother deal with any potential problems.

"Okay, if it's you, that guy will probably run away with his tail between his legs. I'll leave the other side to you."

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li still trusted Xiao Yan completely. There was no point in them going with him; they might as well stay here and continue exploring and digging. Maybe Xiao Yan would make a discovery when he returned.

"Okay, wait for me to come back."

After speaking, Xiao Yan gathered his fighting spirit behind him, and a pair of eagle wings unfolded.

Now, by wielding his eagle wings, he can travel a thousand miles a day, soaring through the sky in the blink of an eye and disappearing from everyone's sight.

Watching Xiao Yan spread his wings and fly away, everyone in the mercenary group stared wide-eyed. How could he have flown away so quickly? Could this young man already be a Dou Wang powerhouse?
