Chapter 6

Heavenly Fire? The Heavenly Fire they mentioned might be the strange fire within his body. It seems that the strange fire inside his body has already been discovered by these few people. Xiao Yan’s brows furrowed; he didn’t expect these people to have found out about the existence of his strange fire so quickly.

"I didn’t expect you to have Heavenly Fire. Kid, be careful." Mingdi said lightly.

However, Xiao Yan showed no sign of retreating. On the contrary, a burst of light flashed in his hand, and a large, colorful ruler appeared in Xiao Yan’s grip.

"Heavenly Ancient Ruler! This is the Heavenly Ancient Ruler! I didn’t expect this kid to have comprehended such a weapon." The people around were immediately shocked.

It seems they mistook the strange fire in his body for some kind of Heavenly Fire. Without a word, Xiao Yan charged forward. He sensed the killing intent from a few of them and naturally didn’t hold back.

"Flaming Palm!" The two people following Mingdi seemed to have lost their patience. One of them shouted, and a huge golden handprint rapidly formed in the air. "Bang!" A palm struck down, and one of the opponents was directly hit, spitting blood and retreating rapidly. Xiao Yan also forced them to retreat continuously, and in a short moment, the three of them working together pushed back the few people. The few people didn’t use their full strength, seemingly wary of Mingdi standing behind Xiao Yan.

"Haha, the name Heavenly Fire is indeed well-deserved. Today, I have truly broadened my horizons." Mingdi didn’t join the fight but watched Xiao Yan with a smile, then laughed aloud.

The old man named Yi Ying looked somewhat displeased. Now, with the sudden appearance of two Two-Star Dou Di and the Three-Star Dou Di Mingdi, plus Xiao Yan, whose strength was much greater than he had anticipated, it was clear that his side had no chance of winning.

"Humph! We will eventually seize the Heavenly Fire. Kid, we’ll meet again. Let’s go!" The old man Yi Ying coldly snorted. Although he had several Two-Star Dou Di, with a Three-Star Dou Di present, no matter what, they couldn’t match up. Yi Ying knew he couldn’t contend with them and thus gave the order to retreat, disappearing into the space.

"Always welcome." Xiao Yan smiled, showing no fear at Yi Ying’s threat.

Seeing the few people leave, Xiao Yan slowly recovered. This battle was clearly not satisfying.

At this moment, Mingdi stood behind the few people, hands behind his back, and smiled at the two who had suddenly appeared. "You two kids, you’ve been following me just to find a chance to act?"

The two laughed awkwardly at Mingdi.

Mingdi then pointed to Xiao Yan and introduced him to the two. "This is the only Dou Di in the Dou Qi Continent in a thousand years, Xiao Yan, a member of the Xiao Clan." He then pointed to the two and introduced them to Xiao Yan. "Xiao Yan, these two are my valley’s most outstanding disciples, who have just advanced to Two-Star Dou Di. The stern-faced one is my eldest disciple, Yun Feng, and the honest-looking one is my second disciple, Xiong Yuan. They originally wanted to show off their skills, but you beat them to it. Haha, come, let’s get to know each other."

Xiao Yan bowed and said, "Greetings, seniors!"

Yun Feng just waved his hand, while Xiong Yuan was much more enthusiastic, helping Xiao Yan up and smiling. "Brother Xiao Yan, no need for such formalities."

Xiao Yan nodded and thanked him, "Thank you, senior!"

Whoever appeared before Xiao Yan was his senior, even the lowest of them he had to call senior. After all, he was the only Dou Di in a thousand years, so his seniority was the lowest. Plus, his strength was inferior, and in this continent, strength was paramount.

Mingdi nodded and then said, "Xiao Yan, it seems your whereabouts have been exposed. We need to hurry back to avoid more unnecessary trouble."

The moment those people appeared, Xiao Yan began to suspect. What kind of force were they, to know his whereabouts so quickly and accurately? Why were they so concerned about a mere One-Star Dou Di like him? And who had leaked his whereabouts?

While Xiao Yan was thinking, Mingdi grabbed Xiao Yan’s shoulder, and a strange stone appeared in his hand. With a burst of light, the four of them disappeared from the sky above the forest.
