Staring at the scroll of white bones in his hands, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of genuine excitement. The "Three-Beast Wildness Technique" practiced by the three elders of Mulu had long been a cherished pursuit of his, and now, he had actually managed to obtain it—truly a pleasant surprise. With careful hands, he gently unfolded the scroll. As his eyes scanned its contents, however, a moment later, a slight frown creased his brow. "What's wrong?" Mu Dusha, observing his expression, asked curiously. "Ah, it's indeed the Three-Beast Wildness Technique, but unfortunately, it's only one of the three parts. According to the scroll, the technique is divided into three sections, and this one is merely one of them. Even if I acquire it, the impact will be limited," Xiao Yan shook his head, expressing his disappointment. Upon hearing this, Mu Dusha hesitated briefly, then withdrew two naga-jewels from her sleeve and handed them to Xiao Yan. "These are the naga-jewels of the other two Mulu elders. Please check them carefully to see if either of them contains the remaining two parts." "You also dealt with those two elders?" Xiang Yan was quite surprised, observing Medusa's graceful gesture as she held the two seals. "Yes." Medusa nodded lightly, her expression as if she had just dispatched two ordinary chickens, rather than two formidable peak-level Battle Monarchs. Seeing this, Xiang Yan couldn't help but chuckle, realizing once again that there were still clear gaps between himself and her. He reached out and took the two seals into his hands. With his soul energy probing into them, he found that since all three of the Mu Lan elders had perished, the soul imprints remaining on the seals were now utterly fragile. His soul energy thus flowed in smoothly and swiftly scanned through them. As his soul energy continued its scan, a moment later, a surge of exhilaration flashed across Xiang Yan's eyes. With a simple hand motion, two white bone scrolls appeared in his hands, each bearing the identical blood-red characters. The Three-Beast Wild Decree! With careful attention, Xiao Yan unfolded the two scrolls of white bones and read them thoroughly. After a while, he could no longer contain his laughter, shaking his hand to gently place all three scrolls of white bones into his storage relic. The fortune he had gained today was far beyond his expectations. Seeing Xiao Yan's joyful expression, Medusa smiled softly as well, then retrieved another scroll of golden hue from his storage relic and presented it to him. "This one was obtained from Yan Luotian—it is considered a secret technique of the Golden Swallow Sect, passed down through generations. If you master it, it will surely prove beneficial to you." Receiving the golden scroll with some surprise, Xiao Yan slowly unfolded it, and immediately several bright golden characters came into view. "Nine Rows of Heavenly Swallow Wings." "A flight-based combat technique?" "Look at these words," Xiao Yan said, startled and somewhat astonished. Now that he was a strong warrior at the Battle Emperor level, ordinary flight techniques simply couldn't match the speed of the Dual Qi Wings. At his level, flight techniques seemed to have lost their significance. "This isn't just a regular flight technique. Remember the massive, tangible wings of Yan Luo Tian? It's precisely because of mastering this technique that Jin Yan Sect excels in speed. If that person really wanted to escape, even I wouldn't be able to catch up—this is all due to the Heavenly Crane's Nine-Row Wings." As if sensing Xiao Yan's thoughts, Medusa softly explained, "In fact, rather than being a flight technique itself, it's more accurately a method for creating a flight technique." "A method for creating a flight technique?" "Heard this, Xiang Yan's eyes also flashed with astonishment. Flight techniques were quite rare on the Continent of Qi, and their methods had largely been lost. It was surprising that Jin Yan Sect still preserved such knowledge. If indeed what Medusa said was true, then this scroll's value would surely exceed that of the Three-Beast Wild Decree. Moreover, in terms of rank, Tian Yan's Nine-Row Wings clearly surpassed his own Zhiyun Wings—by far in terms of speed. 'This scroll... must have a significant effect on you, right?' Holding the scroll tightly, Xiang Yan looked at Medusa's face, suddenly asking. Since even the powerful Douzong-level master Yan Luo was practicing it, it was clear that the Nine-Row Wings offered substantial benefits even to Douzong-level practitioners." Hearing this, Medusa hesitated slightly before giving a gentle nod, saying, "If the Nine-Row Wings of Tian Yan are crafted from some advanced materials, then the resulting flight wings will indeed offer certain benefits to me. However, if made from ordinary materials, the effect will be rather limited." Xiao Yan smiled and then stored the scroll in his storage relic, adding, "Then I'll keep this item for now. Once I gather a few suitable materials, I'll prepare a flight wing that will truly benefit you." Medusa offered a light smile and nodded slightly this time. "Since everything has been settled, let's return to Black Mountain Fortress. I'm sure Brother and the others have been waiting for us." Xiao Yan turned to smile at Hai Bo Dong and the others standing not far behind. As for what he said, Hai Bopo Dong and the others naturally had no objections. Although the Serpent People were somewhat discontented that Xiao Yan had received such treatment from Medusa, they still dared not express any dissatisfaction openly before her—though some of them murmured privately, "Stubborn youngster, once the Grand Commander returns from the Tagoor Great Desert, see how long you'll be able to stay at the Queen's side." Xiao Yan was unaware of these inner thoughts, so he raised his hand and stepped forward, swiftly taking off toward the Black Mountain Fortress, followed by a large group of powerful figures. Without the presence of the migrating geese, the Golden Goose Sect and Mulan Valley, though deeply resentful of the Flame Alliance, would certainly not dare to mobilize such an extensive force as they have now, especially without the commanding presence of a Supreme Domain cultivator. In contrast, the Flame Alliance boasts not only its master, Xiao Yan, who can compete directly with a Supreme Domain cultivator, but also Medusa, a genuine Supreme Domain cultivator. At the peak level of strength, the Flame Alliance has already surpassed both the Golden Goose Sect and Mulan Valley. Should their ranks of elite cultivators grow further, they would undoubtedly surpass these two sects in every aspect. Although, across the vast western-northern region, the Golden Goose Sect and Mulan Valley are not considered among the top-tier powers, they have certainly outperformed the Yunlan Sect of old. The fact that they have managed to leave these once-considered formidable sects—those even the Yunlan Sect had hesitated to challenge—so thoroughly disarrayed is a clear testament to the Flame Alliance's strength. And relying on the current circumstances, Xiao Yan was confident that the Yan Alliance would surely become one of the top powerful forces in the western region, and thus, even when facing such a colossal entity as the Spirit Palace, they would surely possess a measure of resistance. ... This sudden and unexpected assassination naturally left Jin Yan Sect and Mu Lan Valley completely stunned. According to reports from the Yan Alliance's spies, just three days after the assassination succeeded, the elite warriors from both sects arrived. However, upon discovering that their most formidable combat forces had already been eliminated, they all stood motionless, as if struck by lightning. With the loss of Yan Luo Tian and the three elders of Mu Lan, as Xiao Yan and his companions had anticipated, the arriving elite warriors, though furious, dared not take any further action—thus, they found themselves in a state of deadlock. This deadlock was finally broken when the Toxin Sect unexpectedly announced its withdrawal from the alliance. The Jin Yan Sect and Mu Lan Valley naturally expressed profound dissatisfaction with the Toxic Sect's actions. Yet, having lost two Dao Sect masters—Yan Luo Tian and Mu Lan's three elders—they found themselves outmatched in overall strength. Though everyone was filled with anger, they could only reluctantly and with growing resentment, return to the Empire, each one trailing behind in disarray. As for the severe impacts their monasteries would face upon their return, that would be their own concern. With the departure of the three sects, the great upheaval that had threatened the entire Jia Ma Empire finally subsided. As countless citizens across the Empire celebrated, the Huan Alliance—this newly formed coalition—was firmly etched into the hearts of every citizen. At this moment, the Huan Alliance had fully replaced the former status of Yun Lan Sect in the minds of the people. As the turmoil subsided, the borders of the Jamah Empire gradually stabilized. The Empire fulfilled its promises to the Serpentfolk, designating a cool, shaded region near the Beast Mountains as their dedicated territory. With a stable homeland secured, the Serpentfolk's initial reservations toward the Jamah Empire significantly eased. Perhaps, through further integration, the Serpentfolk will evolve into a powerful force within the Empire, thereby greatly enhancing the Empire's own strength. Moreover, with the growing relationship between Xiao Yan and Medusa, the Yan Alliance is poised to reap substantial, yet hard-to-estimate, benefits.
