Chapter 199 Confrontation
Being able to become the overlord of the Black Horn Region, the old demon is certainly not an ignorant person.

However, he had to accept Lin Yuan's provocation.

As the number one person in the Black Horn Region, facing the almost humiliating provocation from a student of Canaan College, if he did not respond adequately, he, the Old Demon of the Earth, and the Demon Flame Valley would not be able to gain a foothold in the Black Horn Region in the future.

Over the years, with his connivance, the provocations of the Demon Flame Valley against Canaan College have become clownish behavior.

This time, we have to strike hard.

Even so, the old demon did not act rashly. Although he was tough in words, he had some confidence in Mang Tianchi's strength.

Therefore, the old demon immediately activated the long-hidden spy to find out the news about Mang Tianchi and Lin Yuan.

Hearing the news from the spy, the old demon still looked grim, but he was relieved in his heart. Five spies, including the senior spy at the elder level, got the same result, which meant that Mang Tianchi was definitely not in the inner courtyard.

He knew Mang Tianchi's personality. He was very flamboyant and not the kind of person who would deliberately hide and set up a trap.

Since Mang Tianchi is not here, then...

The old demon laughed coldly, his voice was filled with murderous intent: "Xu Qian, who is that kid named Lin Yuan? How dare he challenge my Demon Flame Valley like this!"

Dou Huang Elder Xu Qian organized his words and said respectfully: "That person is just a student of Canaan College and a high-level alchemist. It took him three years to break through to Dou Wang and become an elder of Canaan College..."

Soon, the old demon learned the information about Lin Yuanming's face.

Less than twenty, Douhuang, sixth-rank alchemist.

"Interesting!" The old demon tapped the armrest of the throne with his finger, his face becoming even colder. "The candidate for the next Grand Elder of Canaan College is a sixth-grade alchemist and Douhuang who is less than 20 years old. No wonder he dares to be so rampant."

At the same time, the murderous intent in his heart became stronger. This person was not only extremely talented, but also a direct descendant of Canaan College.

This kind of person must not be given time to realize his talent.

If we don't take this opportunity to eliminate it, won't Canaan College become even stronger after it grows up? In the Black Horn Region, won't the Devil Flame Valley always be suppressed by the Canaan College?
After confirming that Mang Tianchi is not here, this guy must die!!!

“Xu Qian, gather everyone in the valley, including those who have just joined, and prepare to go to Canaan College. This time, I will not only avenge Fang Yan and his men, but also humiliate Canaan College and restore the prestige of our Demon Flame Valley…”

Xu Qian's eyes lit up. There had been many attacks on the Demon Flame Valley in the past few days, and it was finally time to avenge his humiliation.

"Yes, Valley Master!"

Soon, more than twenty streams of light rose from the Demon Flame Valley, passing by as fast as a star chasing the moon, and shot towards Canaan College.

The undisguised majestic aura attracted the attention of many powerful people in the Black Horn Region.

"The two giants, Canaan Academy and Demon Flame Valley, are finally about to clash head-on. The only overlord of the Black Horn Region is about to appear."

Inner courtyard, Panmen.

After Xiao Yan returned to Panmen Station, Xun'er, who had been waiting for him, immediately concealed the worry in her eyes, smiled and greeted him, and asked softly: "Brother Xiao Yan! How was the meeting this time? Did the Great Elder make things difficult for you?"

Seeing this, Xiao Yan smiled gently and reached out to rub her head, "Don't worry! The elder is good, and this meeting was also very good."

After he returned from the back mountain after practicing the Fire Lotus Technique, he was immediately taken away by Su Qian for a talk.

However, Su Qian did not make things difficult for Xiao Yan. Instead, he told him not to worry and to practice in the inner courtyard with peace of mind. He also simply welcomed Yao Lao's arrival and promised to help Yao Lao reshape his body.

In summary, apart from the exposure of Yao Lao's existence, there were no other problems in this meeting.

"By the way, Xun'er, why does the atmosphere in the inner courtyard feel much heavier? The Great Elder just reminded me not to run around recently. Did something happen?" Xiao Yan asked.

Hearing Xiao Yan's question, Gu Xun'er's face became much more serious, and she said seriously: "Brother Xiao Yan, there may be a big battle in the inner courtyard recently."

"A big battle?" Xiao Yan looked at Xun'er in confusion.

"Brother Xiao Yan, come with me!" Xun'er pulled Xiao Yan into a room on the second floor and called out softly, "Old Ling."

The black shadow surged, and Ling Ying's figure appeared in front of the two.

"Mr. Ling, we parted in a hurry last time and I didn't have time to say thank you. This time we meet, I would like to thank you again for your many times of protection and support." Xiao Yan bowed slightly to Ling Ying and said in a deep voice.

"Master Xiao Yan, do you have to be polite? I'm just following orders." Ling Ying waved his hand quickly.

"Mr. Ling, please inform Brother Xiao Yan about the latest developments in the Black Horn Region and the Xiao family!" Xun'er said softly.

"Yes, Miss!" Ling Ying nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "With the support of Master Xiao Yan's elixirs, the Xiao family is currently in a very good situation. The clan members are stationed in different places, some in Heping Town, and some in other cities in the Black Horn Region."

"Both of Young Master Xiao Yan's elder brothers have advanced to the level of Grand Fighter Master, and they have established the Iron Xiao Mercenary Group in Black Seal City."

"Mercenary group? That's good!" Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with nostalgia, and he continued to ask: "How is the Black Horn Region? Is it related to the inner courtyard battle that Xun'er mentioned?"

Ling Ying nodded and looked at the two of them seriously, his expression becoming more serious.

"Miss, Master Xiao Yan, be careful and don't leave my side. I just received a special message that everyone in the Demon Flame Valley, led by the old demon, is heading towards Canaan College. The war will begin soon."

"Devil Flame Valley? Old Demon?" Xiao Yan was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Who are they? What happened?"

"The Demon Flame Valley is one of the dominant forces in the Black Horn Region. It has a very bad relationship with Canaan Academy. Its valley master is the old demon. Lin Yuan killed their three elders and provoked them, so the old demon brought people to seek revenge." Ling Ying gave a brief summary.

"So that's it!" Xiao Yan nodded.

After understanding the situation, he returned to his room and asked impatiently, "Teacher, what do you think? In this chaos, do we have a chance to fish in troubled waters?"

"Look, you're in a hurry again!" Yao Lao's figure floated out, and he said helplessly: "Even if you take the opportunity to come into contact with the Fallen Heart Flame this time, how do you plan to deal with the Dou Zong-level strange fire? Is the Earth Spirit Pill ready? Are you ready to devour it?"

Yao Lao sighed. This disciple of his was good in every way except that he was too obsessed with strange fire. He would lose his composure once he got involved with strange fire.

These questions were like a bucket of cold water poured on Xiao Yan's head, forcing him to calm down.

"Sorry, teacher, I was too impatient." Xiao Yan smiled bitterly.

"It's okay, Master can understand." Yao Lao sighed and said, "Maybe there is something wrong with Master's arrangement. With your strength and my current state, it is not a wise choice to plan to have a master fire."

“Perhaps we need to change our approach.”

"This is a good opportunity for us to see the situation of Canaan College clearly. How we will act in the future depends on this battle..."

Hearing the hidden meaning of Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan looked at Yao Lao in confusion, "Teacher, what do you mean?"

Yao Lao stared at Xiao Yan and said in a deep voice: "If the Strange Fire from Canaan Academy is hard to obtain, we won't stay in the Northwest Region. I will take you to Zhongzhou. There are abundant resources and opportunities there, which will allow you to improve your cultivation quickly."

"When your cultivation is higher, you won't have to be restricted when planning the strange fire. It will be much more convenient."

Taking this opportunity, Yao Lao told Xiao Yan about his plan.

"Zhongzhou...?" Xiao Yan repeated the name several times and nodded, "I'll follow the teacher's arrangements!"
-
Inner courtyard, medicine garden.

Recently, Xiao Yixian has transplanted a lot of medicinal herbs in the courtyard. Various aromas are intertwined, turning into a faint and refreshing fragrance that is refreshing and relaxing.

At the edge of the courtyard, a graceful figure was carefully watering a pot of flowers. The sunlight shone on the girl's slender figure, like a swaying lily, elegant and refined, yet naturally seductive.

Lin Yuan held his chin with one hand, sitting lazily on the stone chair, admiring the beauty and beautiful scenery in front of him with a dazed look.

At this moment, he was in a very peaceful mood.

During this period, when the outside world was in an uproar because of the storm caused by Lin Yuan, he was quite peaceful and enjoyed the leisurely life in the inner courtyard. He practiced properly every day, and in his spare time, he practiced dragon energy with Zi Yan, discussed pharmacology with Xiao Yixian, and agreed on tactics. His life was quite comfortable.

"finished!"

Glancing over her masterpieces, the Little Medical Fairy smiled with satisfaction.

She gently put down the kettle in her hand, elegantly lifted her hair, turned around and looked at the lazy Lin Yuan softly, walked to him and sat down, and said softly: "This is how we can have some breath of life."

"Thank you for your hard work!" Lin Yuan smiled gently and placed a cup of tea in front of her.

The Medicine Garden was originally Lin Yuan's courtyard. After the Little Medical Fairy moved in, she expressed her dislike for Lin Yuan's taste. In the past few days, she pulled Lin Yuan together to tidy up and decorate the garden.

However, despite the simple arrangement, it unexpectedly gave me a sense of home.

The Little Medical Fairy rubbed the kettle with her jade hands and said softly, "Although you have practiced the body-refining technique, the gap between your cultivation and that of the old demon is still too big. When we face each other, we should adopt the second set of tactics. I will fight head-on, and you prepare your killing moves."

"In this battle, if necessary, I will temporarily release the poison from my body to create an opportunity for you."

Lin Yuan nodded without any pretense and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Little Medical Fairy. Don't worry about the matter of the evil poison body. I have made all the necessary preparations."

"Yes! I believe you." Xiao Yixian nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan's eyes softened a little. He took out an ancient book and chuckled, "By the way, the question we discussed yesterday, I..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yuan's expression suddenly changed.

He immediately raised his head and looked towards the northeast, where a large number of powerful auras suddenly appeared in his soul perception. Moreover, there was also a terrifyingly strong and cold aura...

"Is the old demon here?"

The little medical fairy at the side looked at Lin Yuan's expression, a solemn look appeared on her cheeks, and asked.

"Yes, he is here!" Lin Yuan nodded slightly, then closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment, and then opened his eyes again. There was a bit more eagerness in his deep eyes.

He stood up, stretched out his hand to Little Medical Fairy, and said with a smile: "Let's go, Little Medical Fairy! Let's go and get the food for our journey!"

The Little Medical Fairy placed her hand in Lin Yuan's palm. A ray of fire flashed across her purple-gray eyes, and a smile that was a mixture of elegance and cruelty appeared on her delicate face.

"I will wipe out your enemies no matter who they are!"

After he finished speaking, the space in the courtyard shook slightly, and the two figures trembled, and disappeared in the courtyard in an instant, leaving behind two afterimages that slowly dissipated.

After a while, an old voice, like thunder, rumbled across the sky.

"Boys from Canaan College, the ancestor came to visit, but you didn't even come to greet him?"

Violent sound waves exploded and swept across the inner courtyard. The lingering sound was like the echo of Sanskrit, shocking the mind. Many students with insufficient strength were dizzy and dazzled by the thunderous shout.

Soon after this old voice was heard, figures from all over the inner courtyard flew out.

At the same time, Su Qian, who was sitting cross-legged on the bottom floor of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower, suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at the suddenly quiet magma sea under the energy shield, and his figure disappeared on the spot.

Soon, Su Qian appeared in a hall.

Looking at the dozens of elders who had already gathered, Su Qian said calmly: "Everyone, execute according to the plan. We can't let the beasts under the tower cause trouble today."

"Yes, Great Elder!" everyone answered in unison.

Su Qian's hand seals moved, and at the same time, a shout suddenly came out of his mouth, echoing inside the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower: "The Tianfen Refining Qi Tower is closed immediately, and all students leave immediately without any delay!"

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of elders above the level of Dou Wang, led by the Great Elder, injected extremely powerful energy into the preset seal.

Soon, a powerful energy shield took shape, and the space around it rippled with waves the moment it took shape. Obviously, this energy shield, which gathered the fighting spirit of everyone, had extremely powerful energy.

The colorful light separates the inside and the outside like a solid lid, sealing the entrance of the cave tightly.

Su Qian took a long breath, turned his head and looked at Hu Qian beside him, and said: "Old Hu, I will go to deal with the old demon, and you will take over the task of suppressing the Falling Heart Flame. This is for you, and when you can't hold on any longer, use it to hit that beast..."

As he spoke, Su Qian took out a few jade bottles from his ring and handed them to Hu Qian.

Hu Qian took the three jade bottles that exuded an extremely cold aura and said firmly, "Don't worry, Great Elder. I'm here for you."

Su Qian nodded and flew quickly towards the northeast edge of the inner courtyard.
-
The northeast outer part of the inner courtyard.

When Su Qian arrived, more than ten elders from Canaan College had already gathered there, with Lin Yuan, Xiao Yixian and Zi Yan standing in the air.

"Great Elder!" Everyone bowed their heads slightly.

"No need to be polite." Su Qian raised his hand and looked at Wu Tianlang in the elders' group. "Tianlang, Fang Yan and the other two were killed while chasing you. Don't give him an excuse here. Go and help Hu Qian suppress the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower. Leave this place to us."

Wu Tianlang showed a trace of determination on his face, and said: "This time the crisis of the academy was caused by Lin Yuan saving me, how can I..."

Before he could finish, Su Qian glared at him fiercely: "Don't insist on this meaningless thing. We have a battle plan, and you being here will add variables. The guy at the bottom of the tower is restless, go and help..."

Under Su Qian's stern gaze, Wu Tianlang let out a long sigh and flew towards the Tianfen Refining Qi.

Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. If the Great Elder had arrived a little later, he would have used tough measures.

Wu Tianlang didn't know about the matter of the two elders, and he really thought that this was a crisis of extermination of the hospital. I'm afraid he really wanted to die to settle the matter. If such a mistake really led to unnecessary sacrifice, it would be very funny.

However, Lin Yuan didn't hate having someone like Wu Tianlang as his own.

He looked at the Great Elder and said thoughtfully, "Great Elder, Little Medical Fairy and I will deal with the old demon. You can lead your men to hold off the rest of the people in the Demon Flame Valley."

At this point, he looked at Zi Yan beside him and said seriously: "Zi Yan, this time the enemy is different from the past. Don't join the battle casually. Follow what I told you and be ready to wait for my signal. Do you understand?"

Zi Yan's eyes lit up, she pounded her chest and said confidently: "Don't worry, leave it to me!"

Lin Yuan nodded and looked into the distance.

Not long after, gusts of wind suddenly sounded in the sky, and a group of small black dots appeared in everyone's sight. After a few blinks of an eye, the black dots turned into more than twenty figures filled with murderous aura, staying in the sky above the edge of the inner courtyard.

In the center of this group of people, the old demon was standing in the air, with two figures, one gold and one silver, standing on the left and right, guarding him.

Lin Yuan stared at the old demon and nodded secretly.

This kind of powerful energy is much stronger than that of the Guardian Wu who swallowed the soul of Guardian Sun. It is indeed the most powerful opponent Lin Yuan has encountered so far.

Su Qian took a step forward and said slowly: "It's been many years since we last met. I didn't expect your strength to have improved to this level."

"Su Qian?" The old demon glanced at Su Qian calmly and said, "I didn't expect that you have also advanced to the Dou Zong level. The last time we met, you were just an elder at the peak of the Dou Huang level."

"Enough of the idle chatter, let that brat named Lin Yuan come out! I have come to redeem the bodies of Fang Yan and the others as he said."

As he spoke, he took out five jade bottles containing sixth-grade elixirs and suspended them around himself.

"I have prepared five sixth-grade medicinal pills. Let him take them! The prerequisite is that he has the courage to stand in front of me, hehe..."
