Chapter 135 The deal with Fenyan Valley

Seeing the three lone rangers being bounced back by the space barrier and falling heavily to the ground, the others couldn’t help but be shocked.

“Tsk tsk, I didn’t expect this space seal to be so strong. Three one-star Dou Zuns would suffer serious injuries if they touched it.” Venerable Feng smacked his lips. Fortunately, he only used his Dou Qi to test it at the beginning, otherwise he would be the one lying on the ground vomiting blood.

“The strength of this space seal has dimmed a lot.” Skyfire Venerable narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the silver-white barrier that was much more illusory than before, and said in a deep voice: “Xiaoyun, after the space seal dissipates, don’t be impulsive, just leave these things to us two old guys.”

Although most of the people present were at the Dou Zong level, only the sixteen Dou Zun powerhouses were truly qualified to snatch the treasure. Even if a Dou Zong took advantage of the situation and snatched one of them, he would not be able to keep the treasure.

“I know.” Xiao Yun nodded slightly. Don’t think that this group of Dou Zuns are polite to him now. It’s because he is useful to them and does not pose a threat. If he really respects himself as an eighth-grade alchemy master and goes up to snatch it, he will definitely be treated as a soft persimmon and be the first to be crushed to death.

“Old man, let me protect Master Xiao then.” A hoarse voice sounded. It was from Master Iron Sword who had come over at some point in time.

“Thank you for your kindness, Senior Tiejian, but I don’t need it yet.” Xiao Yun cupped his hands and said with a smile.

When all the people in the hall went up to grab the ball of light, he, a four-star Dou Zong, was still very safe down there. In addition, Lei Huoyan, who had reached the Dou Zun level, could hold out for a few breaths under the hands of a Dou Zun. This time was enough for the two elders to come and rescue him.

“That’s right, old man, Xiaoyun does have some skills, don’t worry about him.” Venerable Feng also nodded. Venerable Tiejian didn’t know about Lei Long, but he and Tianhuo knew it very well.

However, he did not tell this matter to anyone. After all, the fighting skills that could evolve were too magical, and even his close friends of many years might not believe it.

“I’ll just hide at the entrance of the hall then.” Seeing that Master Tiejian still looked a little worried, Xiao Yun pointed to the dark red door behind him.

At this time, everyone, including the lone rangers, entered the majestic hall. People stood in scattered places, but no one stood at the gate. After all, even a fool could understand that they were going to fight for treasures, and people wanted to stand under the light ball. Who would deliberately run to the farthest place to guard it?

That is to say, Xiao Yun does not have to take risks by himself, as there are two Dou Zun-level elders willing to help him.

“Haha, Master Xiao, hello everyone.” Suddenly a hearty laugh was heard. Reverend Feng and the others looked up at the source of the sound. It turned out that it was a group of people from Fenyan Valley who were coming.

“Valley Master Tang.” Seeing the red-haired old man leading the way, Master Feng and the others also clasped their fists and greeted him.

“Master Xiao, are there any treasures among these light balls that you like?” Tang Zhen walked straight to Xiao Yun and said with a smile.

“Oh?” Hearing this, Xiao Yun and the others were startled. After a while, he smiled and said, “What does Valley Master Tang mean?”

“I don’t mean anything else. I just want to make friends with Master Xiao.” Tang Zhen smiled, looked at the ball of light above the hall, and said softly: “Although Master has three Dou Zun masters, you should send one to protect your safety, right?”

“Two Dou Zun working together does not give them much of an advantage over a dozen Dou Zun.”

“If my guess is correct, given the character of the owner of this relic, when the seal is unlocked, there will definitely be other obstacles.”

“Even if there are no other levels, a fight between more than a dozen Dou Zun-level warriors would be a bloody storm.”

“So I want to join forces with Master Xiao and others to snatch the ball of light in the hall.”

After listening to Tang Zhen’s idea, Xiao Yun looked at Feng Zunzhe and the others. Seeing that they were letting him make the decision, he looked back at Tang Zhen and said with a smile, “Then, Valley Master Tang, how do you distribute the light balls that we snatched together?”

“I will only take a quarter, and if there is anything you need in the light ball, you can exchange it for other items.” Tang Zhen smiled slightly and gave up most of the benefits nonchalantly.

“However, I would like to ask Master Xiao to come to my Burning Flame Valley and help refine a pill afterwards.” Upon hearing this, Venerable Feng’s eyes widened and he said unhappily, “You bastard Tang Zhen, you’re waiting here. With just this little thing, you want to ask an eighth-grade alchemy master to help you?”

Venerable Skyfire also looked at Tang Zhen with some hostility. They could also snatch the ball of light in the hall, and the latter’s joining was just icing on the cake.

It can be said that the latter’s operation is equivalent to getting something for nothing.

“Ahem, Brother Feng, of course there’s more to it than that. After the deal is done, Master Xiao can enter my Fenyan Valley treasury and choose any treasure of his choice.” Seeing the dangerous looks from the three Dou Zuns, Tang Zhen quickly coughed and added somewhat awkwardly.

Xiao Yun was still smiling, and said slowly: “Master Feng, Master Huo, don’t worry, let’s listen to what Master Tang has to say first. Which pill does Master Tang want me to refine?”

“This…” Tang Zhen scratched his head a little embarrassedly, “Master Xiao, to be honest, one of the elders in my sect was seriously injured and we can’t treat him with the means of Burning Flame Valley, so I would like to ask you for help. We don’t know what kind of elixir is needed.”

“Elder?” Venerable Feng at the side was a little confused, “Which elder of your Burning Flame Valley was seriously injured? Could it be Old Man Huo, but isn’t he only a one-star Dou Zun? It would be enough for you to hire a seventh-grade high-level alchemist, why do you need an eighth-grade one?”

“It’s not Elder Huo. Ahem, Brother Feng, please stop guessing.” Tang Zhen shook his head helplessly and sighed, “It’s an old senior from my sect. He had a serious health problem when he fought with other strong men in his early years, so he has been living in seclusion and has never shown up in all these years.”

Hearing this, a vague answer emerged in Xiao Yun’s mind, but he was not sure whether his guess was correct.

“Sure, Valley Master Tang, after we get out of the ruins, I will definitely visit Burning Flame Valley in a few days!”

“Okay! Thank you very much, Master Xiao!” Tang Zhen was immediately delighted after receiving Xiao Yun’s affirmation, and bowed slightly.

“But Valley Master Tang, the terms of the deal have to change.” Xiao Yun smiled slightly, turned his head to look at the Iron Sword Master beside him, and said calmly: “Not only Elder Feng and Elder Huo will take action, but Elder Iron Sword will also join you to snatch the light ball.”

“Is it okay for you to be here alone? The battle later will be very dangerous.” Hearing this, Tang Zhen’s face showed a trace of worry. Although he found that Xiao Yun’s cultivation had improved a lot and reached the level of a four-star Dou Zong, it was still not good enough in this hall full of Dou Zuns.

“Don’t worry, Xiaoyun has his own means of protection, and when the battle starts, he will go to the entrance of the hall, which is the farthest place from the battlefield, and will not be easily affected.” Skyfire Reverend said with a smile.

“I see.” Tang Zhen nodded slightly, then turned to look at the strong men of Fenyan Valley behind him, and said in a deep voice: “After I leave, you must protect Master Xiao here! At all costs!”

“Yes! Valley Master!” The strong men of Fenyan Valley bowed and accepted the order, then looked at Xiao Yun with firm eyes.

“Uh…, okay.” Xiao Yun did not pay much attention to Tang Zhen’s worries. At this moment, his eyes were fixed on the ball of light floating in the air in the hall. With his extremely powerful soul perception, he keenly noticed a subtle change.

“Seniors, the seal is about to dissipate. It will completely dissipate in half a quarter of an hour at most.”

Xiao Yun’s expression became serious and he spoke softly.

Hearing his words, Master Feng and the others quickly raised their heads and looked towards the ball of light. Although they could not make out what it meant, they did not doubt the words of the eighth-grade alchemy master.

“Then Xiaoyun, we’ll go over first!”

“Yeah.” Xiao Yun nodded slightly, protected everyone in front of him, and ran to the dark red gate without anyone noticing, waiting for the battle to come.
