Chapter 63: The Return of Queen Medusa

  "It's not just that you're outside, but you can even follow me into the inner courtyard. It seems like you know my every move, it looks like you're more formidable than I imagined." Bai Shan seemed to be unsurprised by Xiao Xing Meng's appearance, his slow and steady voice echoing through the deserted forest.

  "Of course, but your temperament is also beyond my expectation. You actually went to win over Xiao Yan's trust with a thick skin, but it doesn't seem to be going very smoothly, huh." Xiao Xing Meng replied nonchalantly.

  "Hmph!" Bai Shan's warm smile disappeared, his face turned cold and he said: "I didn't expect to gain his trust anyway, but as long as I endure, maybe there will still be a chance to defeat him. Moreover, simply defeating Xiao Yan is not enough to turn this batch of new students into my own power. I'll first help the Panmen develop, and when Xiao Yan fails in the future, I can also use my influence in the Panmen to force the Bai Guild to merge with the Panmen."

  Bai Shan originally had this intention, but it's also a helpless measure. Since he can't win himself, he can only wait for the opponent to fail.

  "What if he doesn't lose?" Bai Shan took action, saying that it was a good idea to bear the humiliation and take responsibility, but saying otherwise would be waiting for a rabbit by guarding a tree stump. However, he at least understood one thing - if he were to confront Xiao Yan head-on, he would definitely lose.

  "When the time comes, someone will naturally take care of Xiao Yan for me." Bai Shan seemed to be hiding something.

  Is someone there? Xiao Xing's heart moved, could it be referring to his cousin Bai Cheng? However, at Bai Cheng's level, although he can still threaten the Pao Gate for now, after some time, with Xiao Yan's progress speed, catching up to Bai Cheng is only a matter of time. Moreover, since Bai Shan has been relentless in avenging Xun Er's death and is determined to let the White Clan take over the Pao Gate, he cannot allow Bai Cheng to take action against Xiao Yan.

  "Is there anything else? I don't think you came just to see me, a failure, this time. But even if you give me those exotic fire seeds again, it's useless, because I probably won't be conflicting with Xiao Yan for a long time." Bai Shan asked after a moment of contemplation.

  "However, I must remind you that Xiao Yan is very interested in the exotic flame. The last time you released it, he took notice of you. Whether you're being sincere or not, he'll want you to hand over the exotic flame to him. Unfortunately, you don't have it, so you need to think about how to deal with Xiao Yan."

  "No wonder, last time I was defeated and he came over immediately, I knew this guy." Bai Shan hummed, feeling a surge of anger in his heart, then raised his head to look at Xiao Xing Meng: "You had expected this would happen, didn't you?"

  "Kid, I was helping you take down Xiao Yan, but with my power, we still ended up losing. I didn't expect this to happen." Xue Xing Meng shrugged his shoulders and said in a lazy tone.

  "Hmph." Bai Shan didn't bother to pretend in front of this black-robed figure, and with a flick of his sleeve, he left. Xiao Xing Meng had only come to see what Bai Shan was up to, and with a twist of his body, he also vanished from sight.

  It seems that Bai Shan is determined to oppose Xiao Yan to the end, openly or secretly. However, next time the cost of failure may be death, and Xiao Yan will not let this potential alien fire go unpunished.

  However, the person he said would avenge him, Xiao Xing Meng was somewhat concerned. Bai Shan didn't have much presence in the original work later on, so who exactly did he say it was? Someone that Bai Shan could entrust to deal with his own inability to defeat Xiao Yan, and yet still had full trust in...

  Can't think of it, Xiao Xing Meng shook his head. Since that's the case, this person will eventually appear beside Bai Shan in the future, and by then he'll understand.

  …………

  The days of diligent cultivation passed quickly, and Xiao Yan indeed lived up to his reputation as a troublemaker wherever he went. In a short period of time, rumors spread that he had won the heart of Han Yue, the inner courtyard's flower; with one move of the terrifying Fire Lotus, he defeated the four-star Dou Ling-level Ren Na; without giving any face to Liu Fei, who was known as the Snow Fairy in the inner courtyard, he heavily punished Ren Na, and yet did not receive much punishment from He Changlao, who was normally strict. These strange events became the topic of conversation in the quiet inner courtyard's cultivation life.

  Also due to Xiao Yan's affairs spreading, many old seniors joined the Panmen, and the number of people in the Panmen grew to over sixty. Due to Xiao Yan, Xun Er, Xu Jia and others all going to cultivate separately, the miscellaneous tasks of the Panmen and receiving new joiners were mostly managed by Bai Shan, which also made him gradually become the person with prestige second only to Xiao Yan within the Panmen.

  Xiao Yan relied on his alchemy skills and Yao Lao's mysterious pill formula to challenge the "Medicine Sect"'s monopoly in the inner courtyard. Although the "Medicine Sect" came to cause trouble, they were defeated by the combined forces of the White Sect and the Pan Gate.

  But such cultivation was extremely frustrating for Xiao Xing Meng. Taking advantage of their cultivation, Xiao Xing Meng slipped out of the inner courtyard to visit his two disciples, Ah Zi and Little Medicine Fairy, who were quietly cultivating and making good progress. Ah Zi had already successfully reached the strength of a Dou Zong, while Little Medicine Fairy had also reached the level of a Three-Star Great Dou Shi after ingesting and refining various poisonous medicines.

  Then he went with two beautiful apprentices to the chaotic area of Hei Jiao Yu to find trouble and enhance Xiao Yi Xian's combat experience, just for fun.

  However, while Xiao Xing Meng was carefree and happy outside, causing trouble with his two beautiful female disciples in the Black Domain. Xiao Yan encountered an unexpected person - Queen Medusa.

  Xiao Yan looked at Medusa Queen in horror, who was floating in the air in front of him. Her slender figure, dressed carelessly and revealingly, barely covered her chest with a pair of full breasts, while her lower body wore only a purple leather skirt that just reached her thighs, revealing a pair of round and long legs that made one's mouth dry and tongue-tied. The curved lines made people dizzy, and when his gaze moved up to her snowy snake-like waist, Xiao Yan's heart trembled. This woman was simply a seductress who could drive men crazy, but wanting to tame this enchanting seductress without having the power of the heavens would only result in being swallowed whole by her.

  "Hmph, you little brat, I've finally found you! If it wasn't for my evolution at that time, I would have definitely killed you!" Medusa's face was cold and stern as she stared at Xiao Yan, "I didn't expect you to obtain the Qinglian Earth Heart Flame, your luck is quite good."

  Even if he clearly knew that the beauty in front of him was a man-eating snake, Xiao Yan still couldn't help but feel a little excited, however this excitement disappeared instantly when a cold gaze shot over, leaving only a belly full of vigilance and caution.

  His gaze finally rested on that flawless, icy and seductive face, Xiao Yan let out a dry laugh, only to find his voice had become somewhat hoarse.

  "Your Majesty, what a coincidence." Extremely low IQ greeting, enough to show the extent of Xiao Yan's nervousness at this moment, and his fear of the woman in front of him. Moreover, Xiao Yan had stolen her exotic flame and peeked at her naked body, feeling guilty in his heart.

  "It's quite a coincidence." Queen Medusa glanced at Xiao Yan, her red lips curled up with a hint of mockery. When she was struck by lightning and turned into the Swallowing Heaven Python, the python had actually recognized Xiao Yan as its parent, causing Queen Medusa's soul to split. After recovering, she searched everywhere for that familiar aura, and after investigating in all directions, she finally found a young man who had once used a powerful blue flame - the exceptionally famous genius of the God's Domain Empire: Xiao Yan.

  Medusa Queen immediately sensed that the flame was the Heart Fire of Qinglian, and chased after it. She finally found the figure of the young man in the outer courtyard of the inner court. As soon as she saw him for the first time, the Swallowing Heaven Python's soul within Medusa Queen's body stirred again. Adding to Xiao Yan's reaction when he saw her, Medusa Queen confirmed that Xiao Yan was indeed the person who had stolen the Heart Fire of Qinglian in the forest and made the Swallowing Heaven Python recognize him as its kin!

  It wasn't easy to find Xiao Yan, but when Medusa Queen finally did, a cold smile and killing intent gradually emerged on her face. If she could just kill this guy, maybe she could restore her soul that had split due to the unexpected evolution. And to make matters worse, he even dared to steal the Heart Fire of Qinglian from right under her nose, which made Medusa's anger uncontrollable.

  "Kid, just for stealing my Qinglian's Heart Fire, you deserve to die ten times over! Go die!"

  Medusa Queen's slender hand swung violently, and with the swing of her palm, Xiao Yan was shocked to find that the space around him had solidified at this moment, and his body was locked in it, unable to move.

  "Is this the true power of a Dou Zong strongman? With just a raise of his hand, he can actually solidify space?" A flash of astonishment streaked across his mind. "Is this the true power of a Dou Zong strongman? With just a raise of his hand, he can actually solidify space?" A flash of astonishment streaked across his mind. Xiao Yan's understanding of a Dou Zong strongman deepened even further.

  Gazing coldly at Xie Yan who was struggling with all his might, Queen Medusa stepped forward lightly and slowly walked towards him. Her slender hand rose slightly, and a faint seven-colored glow condensed in her palm, finally solidifying into a long, slender, and sharp seven-colored sword.

  Xiao Yan struggled with all his might, but the surrounding space didn't budge. Just as he was about to give up in despair, a familiar powerful soul fluctuation burst out from the black ring on his finger. Under this soul fluctuation, the solidified space around him suddenly shattered, and Xiao Yan's body regained its freedom at this moment.

  "Heh heh, at the initial stage of Jundu, you can already solidify space. Not bad, Medusa Queen. But I, Yao Chen's disciple, am not someone who can be killed just because you say so?" The old man's laughter slowly rose, and his illusory figure also rose from the black ring, finally hovering beside Xiao Yan, calmly gazing at Medusa Queen in front of him.
