A hint of white appeared in the sky, and the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy seemed to be gradually waking up from its slumber. The sky in the distance took on a deep navy blue color, like a huge velvet curtain, faintly revealing the glimmer of dawn.

At this moment, a figure flashed across the vast sky like a meteor.

"I'm finally back at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. I have to take Meng Hongchen and the others away from here as soon as possible." Looking ahead with a firm gaze, Xiao Yan whispered to himself. The strong wind whistled past his ears, but he was not moved at all.

His hair fluttered in the wind and his black robe rustled.

As he got closer to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, the speed of the flying soul guide gradually slowed down, and Xiao Yan slowly landed on the square of the academy. He put away the flying soul guide, looked around, and looked at the familiar campus environment, feeling a little emotional.

Ji Juechen, Meng Hongchen, and Wang Qiuer came over immediately after seeing Xiao Yan. Ji Juechen had a stern expression as usual, but his eyes showed a hint of concern, while Meng Hongchen frowned slightly, with a worried look on her face.

Wang Qiu'er's eyes were anxious, and she couldn't wait to know the situation. She asked first: "Xiao Yan, you are finally back. Have you rescued your friend?"

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, his expression slightly tired but also with a hint of relief, and said lightly: "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. My friend is safe. But now is not the time to talk about this. We have to leave here as soon as possible."

"What happened? Why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Ji Juechen frowned and asked in a deep voice.

Glancing at everyone, Xiao Yan's face darkened slightly, and he said seriously: "The Sun-Moon Empire's high-ranking officials are colluding with the evil soul master faction, the Holy Spirit Cult. Senior Jing Hongchen has already confronted the Sun-Moon Empire's soul master corps in order to save me. This place will soon become unsafe. We must leave as soon as possible to avoid getting into danger."

Meng Hongchen's eyes widened, his face filled with shock, and he said in disbelief: "Is this true? Then we have to pack up and leave immediately."

Wang Qiuer also nodded and said, "Yes, we can't just sit here and wait for death. Xiao Yan, where do you think we should go?"

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yan said in a deep voice: "Let's leave the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy first and go to Mingdou Mountain Range to meet up with Senior Jing Hongchen. I still need to think about the specific destination. We must be careful about everything and must not let the enemy discover our whereabouts."

.........

A moment later, several streaks of light disappeared in the sky above Mingdu.

During the flight, the wind whistled in their ears and everyone looked extremely solemn.

Xiao Yan stared straight ahead, constantly thinking about the situation he might face next. Ji Juechen's eyes were as sharp as swords, and he was always alert to the movements around him.

"Grandpa, I hope he's okay." Meng Hongchen bit his lip, worried about the future and a little bit afraid of the unknown.
At the same time, in the Mingdu Palace of the Sun-Moon Empire.

The atmosphere was so depressing that it made people breathless. Emperor Xu Tianran was dressed in a gorgeous dragon robe, sitting upright on the magnificent dragon throne, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.

"How ridiculous!" Xu Tianran slammed the armrest, making a loud noise. His eyes were burning with anger, and he shouted coldly: "This Xiao Yan actually dared to destroy the Holy Spirit Sect's headquarters and killed their deputy leader. And that Jing Hongchen actually dared to openly betray the country! They are simply too audacious!"

Upon hearing this, the ministers around were silent, not daring to make a sound. They knew very well how angry Xu Tianran was at the moment, and no one dared to offend him at this time.

"Pass on my order. These people must be arrested and brought to justice! No matter what the cost, they cannot be allowed to escape!"

Xu Tianran's voice echoed in the palace like thunder.

"Your Majesty, please calm down." A minister said cautiously, "Xiao Yan and his men are very powerful and their whereabouts are elusive. It may not be easy to capture them."

"Humph!" Xu Tianran glared at the minister and said coldly: "No matter how difficult it is, we must do it! My majesty cannot be challenged! Mobilize all the soul guide corps, block all the passages in the country, and make sure to catch them all in one fell swoop!"

"If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body. If you can't do that, then you don't have to come back. Just commit suicide and apologize."

"Yes." The ministers accepted the order one after another, secretly groaning in their hearts.

Xu Tianran's order was quickly passed down, and the soul guide corps deployed by the Sun-Moon Empire in various bases within the territory immediately took action. Teams of well-equipped soul guides took off into the air and chased in the direction where Xiao Yan and others fled.

Their flying soul guides flashed with various colors of light, forming a spectacular and oppressive scene in the sky.

Through his immense spiritual power, Xiao Yan naturally sensed the pursuers behind him. His face darkened as he said, “It seems that the Sun-Moon Empire’s people are chasing us. Everyone speed up!”

Upon hearing this, everyone injected their soul power into the flying soul guides, increasing their speed again. However, the soul guide army was also fast, and the distance between the two sides was gradually closing.

Fortunately, the Mingdou Mountains were not far ahead. Xiao Yan saw Jing Hongchen's figure from afar, and the two sides quickly reunited.

Jing Hongchen's face was solemn, but when he saw Xiao Yan coming, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone quickly reunited with Jing Hongchen. At this time, everyone's face was tired and nervous, but their eyes were firm and resolute.

Looking at everyone, Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and said calmly: "Now the Sun Moon Empire's pursuers are hot on our heels, and we must find a safe place as soon as possible. I suggest going to the Sky Soul Empire to find the Body Sect. Its leader, Du Bu Si, and I are close friends, and he can provide us with shelter."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and nodded in agreement. It can be said that they had unconditional trust in Xiao Yan.

Then, Xiao Yan and Jing Hongchen looked at each other, and they said to the others in tacit understanding: "You go first, we will try to delay time and buy you a chance to leave the empire. Remember, you must reach the Tianhun Empire safely and find the Body Sect."

After saying that, Xiao Yan took out a green token from his arms and threw it to Wang Qiuer, indicating that she should find the Benti Sect and give the token to its leader Du Bushi.

Wang Qiuer looked at Xiao Yan deeply and said, "You must be careful. We will wait for you in the Tianhun Empire."

After saying that, everyone no longer hesitated and used the flying soul guide again, flying quickly towards the direction of the Tianhun Empire.

As everyone left, the Soul Guide Corps of the Sun Moon Empire soon appeared in the sight of Xiao Yan and Jing Hongchen. The soul power of both of them surged, and it was obvious that they were ready for battle.

Above the Mingdou Mountains, the atmosphere was so tense that it seemed to be frozen.

The Fire Phoenix Soul Guide Corps of the Sun-Moon Empire swept in like a red cloud, their flying soul guides flashing blinding red light and carrying a powerful sense of oppression.

Facing the fierce enemy, Xiao Yan and Jing Hongchen showed no fear. They stood side by side, their eyes revealing determination and perseverance. The Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Corps gradually approached, and the commander in chief gave an order, and countless soul attacks rained down on Xiao Yan and Jing Hongchen.

"Come on, I'm not afraid of you." Seeing this, Jing Hongchen snorted coldly, and a red light flashed in his hand. The powerful fixed-type soul guide was instantly activated, and a dazzling light shot out, blocking the oncoming attacks one after another.

At the same time, Xiao Yan's eyes sank slightly, staring closely at the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps surging in front of him. Then, he raised his hands slightly, palms facing up, and a cluster of white flames and a cluster of gray flames quietly emerged.

“I don’t know, after the fusion of teacher’s Bone Spirit Cold Fire and elder Yi’s Undead Fire, how powerful the Buddha’s Wrath Lotus will be?” His eyes became extremely focused, and Xiao Yan carefully controlled the power of the two flames, and then began to slowly bring them closer.

When the dark white flame and the gray flame came into contact, a powerful repulsive force suddenly erupted. Xiao Yan's body shook slightly, but he did not retreat at all. Instead, he controlled the flame even more vigorously.

"It's actually somewhat difficult to fuse the flames from two worlds." Beads of sweat appeared on Xiao Yan's forehead, and his face turned pale, but his eyes were full of determination.

"Melt it for me!" With Xiao Yan's efforts, the dark white flame and the grayish white flame began to slowly merge together.

The color of the flame gradually changed from forest white and grayish white to a deep blue. The temperature of the flame also rose sharply. The surrounding air seemed to be ignited, making crackling sounds.

After the two flames merged, they gradually turned into a lotus shape. The patterns on the petals became more complicated. It exuded a suffocating and terrifying aura, as if it was the red spider lily from hell.

"Buddha's Angry Fire Lotus, go!"

With a low shout, Xiao Yan took a deep breath, and then suddenly threw the Buddha's Fury Lotus in his hand towards the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Corps. The Buddha's Fury Lotus drew a beautiful arc in the air, and the speed was amazingly fast.

Wherever it passed, the space seemed to be distorted, making a buzzing sound.

"What is this thing?" When the members of the Fire Phoenix Soul Guide Corps saw the Buddha's Wrath Lotus flying over, they all showed confusion and puzzlement on their faces.

The next second, a shocking explosion sounded, and the entire Mingdou Mountains seemed to tremble at this moment. The strong light illuminated the entire sky, and a huge shock wave spread in all directions.

The members of the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Corps were powerless to resist this powerful force and were all swept up in it.

A huge mushroom cloud slowly rose from the center of the explosion. A huge crater was blown out on the ground, and the surrounding mountains were shaken to the point of collapse.

Members of the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Corps were blown to pieces, with broken limbs and arms everywhere. The people at the center of the explosion were directly blown into powder. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood. The originally aggressive Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Corps was completely wiped out in an instant.

The loud explosion attracted the attention of the Duke of White Tiger who was stationed not far away.

"What happened in the Sun Moon Empire?" Duke Baihu was patrolling the camp when he heard the loud noise and was startled. He immediately climbed to a high place and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw flames flickering in the sky above the Mingdou Mountains and violent energy fluctuations.

"This familiar fire attribute energy fluctuation, could it be Xiao Yan!?"

"Come here, tell the whole army to follow me!"

…………

Having just used the Buddha's Fury Lotus, Xiao Yan's face was as pale as paper, his body was trembling slightly, there was a hint of fatigue in his eyes, and he looked a little weak.

Although the power of the Buddha's Fury Lotus was strong, it also consumed a large amount of Xiao Yan's soul power and soul strength. At this moment, he felt as if his body had been hollowed out.

In a flash, Jing Hongchen hurried to Xiao Yan's side and supported his shaky body. He looked at the latter with admiration in his heart and said, "Xiao Yan, are you okay?"

Shaking his head slightly, Xiao Yan said a little weakly: "I'm fine, just a little exhausted. Let's go to the Heavenly Soul Empire quickly."

Jing Hongchen nodded and helped Xiao Yan fly towards the Tianhun Empire, but their flying speed was much slower than before.

In the Mingdou Mountains, the smoke had not yet completely dissipated when Duke Dai Hao of White Tiger hurried over with his army. When they stepped into the area that had just experienced a brutal battle, everyone was shocked by the scene before them and was speechless.

Dai Hao rode on a tall warhorse, glancing around with a serious look. The ground was littered with broken arms and limbs of the Fire Phoenix Army, blood dyed a large area of ​​land red, emitting a pungent smell of blood.

Some of the incomplete bodies were blown beyond recognition, while others were burnt by the high temperature, which was unbearable to look at.

The surrounding mountains also suffered great damage. Huge deep pits were blown out of the mountains, and the rocks were melted by the high temperature and turned into black glassy substances. The trees on the mountains were uprooted, burning with raging fires, and black smoke billowed up.

Dai Hao frowned, his heart filled with confusion and shock. He had never seen such a tragic scene before. It was simply a hell on earth. He trembled and asked, "What on earth is going on?"

A general nearby said cautiously: "My Lord Duke, judging from the situation, it seems that someone has used an extremely powerful soul-guided weapon here."

"Could it be that someone has used a ninth-grade fixed-type soul guide here?" Dai Hao nodded slightly and had the same idea. He carefully observed the destruction around him, and suddenly a shocking idea came to his mind, and he said in a deep voice.

A ninth-grade fixed-type soul guide device is an extremely terrifying weapon, powerful enough to destroy a city. If it was really the ninth-grade fixed-type soul guide device of the Sun-Moon Empire that caused everything before our eyes, why would this person kill his own people?

Dai Hao fell into deep thought. He knew that this matter was definitely not simple. He had to find out the truth as soon as possible, otherwise it would bring a huge threat to the Xingluo Empire. He ordered his soldiers to search the scene carefully and look for any possible clues.

The soldiers searched the ruins carefully, fear and anxiety on their faces.

Dai Hao rolled off his horse, picked up a burnt leaf from the ground, and sniffed it. His expression suddenly changed in shock, and he said, "This familiar fire attribute aura is indeed Xiao Yan. Is this the spirit skill he used?"

"There are still three months left before the three-year agreement he made with me ends."

"I have to prepare in advance."
