117: Emperor Xiao Tian was taken as a concubine by the female tyrant Long Nan.

"Crimson Flame... Senior, why is it you?"

Xiao Yan was startled, subconsciously retreated two steps, and watched the Crimson Flame approaching him step by step with caution.

However, Xiao Yan quickly calmed down.

The Devil Head in front of him had a semi-transparent body and an extremely weak aura.

He couldn't compare at all to the previous Devil Head whose demonic flames surged?

"Senior, what happened to you? Your aura has dropped so much. Did only this one Clone manage to escape?" Xiao Yan asked cautiously, probing.

"That's right," the Devil Head glanced at Xiao Yan:

"The other major Clones of my main body are rushing here to converge."

'What a pity. If Teacher were still awake, he would definitely have a way...' Xiao Yan regretted inwardly upon receiving the affirmative answer.

What a great opportunity.

This Crimson Flame in front of him was just one of the nine Dragon Clones he had split into.

What a good opportunity.

This is the famous Southern Bright Lihuo. If he could devour and achieve Fusion with it, the quality of his Flame Art would surely experience a qualitative leap, and his cultivation would also rise accordingly.

Unfortunately, even if it was only one-ninth of the Devil Head's Origin, without Elder Chen's help, Xiao Yan could only stare and drool.

"Little Brat, do you want revenge?"

The Crimson Flame's greedy gaze swept over Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan: "Naturally, I do. Does Senior have any advice?"

"Then how about we make a deal?" The Devil Head laughed sinisterly: "You give this Physical Body to me, and I will help you eliminate that Thief Cao, how about that?"

"Ah?"

Xiao Yan was so frightened that cold sweat streamed down his back, stammering: "That, Senior, this Junior's shell has poor Aptitude, it is completely unworthy of an Innate existence like Senior..."

"No, no." The Devil Head held up a finger and shook it: "When I possessed your grandfather's corpse earlier, I discovered a secret: the Physical Body of your Xiao Ancient Clan is a rare Heavenly Fire Furnace. If I can utilize your Physical Body, my Origin recovery speed will certainly increase greatly, and perhaps it won't be long before I can return to the Peak."

"At that time, this old man will definitely help you kill that Cao Meng Little Brat, rescue that Colorful Scaled Small Snake for you, and take good care of her..."

"What do you say?"

As the Devil Head spoke, he approached Xiao Yan step by step.

Xiao Yan was furious: "Devil Head, don't push your luck..."

"Push my luck? Haha~" The Devil Head looked at Xiao Yan disdainfully:

"Little piece of trash, aren't you just relying on that bit of Fire Escape Technique? Do you know that I am the ancestor of playing with fire? Playing with fire in front of me... Do you know how I caught up to you?"

"Devil Head, I'll fight you..."

Boom~

Just then, a beam of golden light flew in the sky.

The Devil Head looked up in astonishment.

He saw a golden alms bowl appear above his head at some unknown time. Then, the alms bowl's volume rapidly increased, reaching a diameter of over ten zhang in the blink of an eye. A beam of golden light enveloped the Devil Head.

"What~"

The Devil Head was greatly shocked and immediately flew backward, but unfortunately, his body seemed to have sunk into a swamp and could not move at all.

"Demon Subduing Golden Bowl, damn it!"

Clang!

The golden alms bowl descended.

It covered the Devil Head, then the golden alms bowl shrunk and turned into a streak of golden light, flying towards the distant sea and sky.

Gazing into the distance, he saw a huge carriage being pulled by four white flying horses with white feathered wings on their backs, tearing through the starry night sky above the sea, flying through the air at lightning speed.

Standing by the railings at the front of the carriage were eight men wearing long robes, some with white hair and some young and strong.

The eight people shared one common trait: they had strong fire Qi. It was obvious they were practitioners of fire-attribute Cultivation Technique or possessed a fire-attribute Physique, and their cultivation levels were all high, especially the two white-haired elders who looked extremely similar—they were even at the Saint Domain level of cultivation.

The carriage was very fast.

It arrived in front of Xiao Yan in the blink of an eye.

The carriage door opened, and a foot, like an elephant's leg, wearing a gigantic red embroidered shoe, appeared first.

Next, Xiao Yan saw the full picture.

A... no, it should be said, a female figure appeared. Her build was extremely burly, two full heads taller than Xiao Yan, broad-shouldered and round-waisted like a Vajra... To describe her in one sentence: she was wider and taller than a vat, all waist except for her butt, practically a super water vat refined into a spirit.

What Xiao Yan found most unbearable was her pockmarked face, interspersed with yellow and black spots.

Female Overbearing Dragon!

The woman held the golden alms bowl in her hand. Inside the alms bowl, a faint blue small Dragon of fire was struggling wildly.

"Thank you, Senior, for lending a helping hand." Xiao Yan endured his discomfort, bowed, and expressed his gratitude.

"Senior?" The woman's voice boomed like a great bell.

"I don't like that title, Nan Nan!" The woman pointed a thick finger and said domineeringly:

"My name is Long Nan, Great Protector of the Yinkui Immortal Sect. Starting today, you are my nineteenth Dao Companion!"

"Ah?" Xiao Yan paled in shock.

Make me this dinosaur's Dao Companion... and the nineteenth one at that?

A slight hint of anger appeared on Long Nan's face: "What, are you unwilling?"

"No... I..." Xiao Yan felt like dying. This was jumping out of a tiger's den only to fall into a wolf's lair.

Seeing him being hesitant, the two twin white-haired old men immediately became furious: "Little Brat, Nan Nan taking you as a Dao Companion is a blessing you Cultivated for eight lifetimes! Hurry up and kowtow in thanks!"

"Then, are you her..." Xiao Yan stammered.

"We are Dao Companion Number One and Number Two..."

"Senior, this Junior truly cannot accept such a great blessing. Thank you, Senior..." After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he summoned his flame wings, gave them a flap... "Trying to run?" The golden alms bowl flew out.

Clang~

It covered him instantly.

And was retrieved.

"Hmph, no man Nan Nan has ever set her sights on has managed to escape!" Long Nan looked proudly at Xiao Yan inside the golden alms bowl, finding him more appealing the longer she looked.

"He looks good. Crucially, this body full of Fire Yang power is a Peerless Grade material for Cultivating the Great Self-Sufficient Joyous Union Art."

Trapped in the golden alms bowl, Xiao Yan had a flash of inspiration and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Senior, this Junior looks very ordinary, and my Fire Yang power is very thin. However, this Junior knows someone named Cao Meng. He is much handsomer—I've never seen anyone handsomer than him! Furthermore, he possesses the Pure Yang Sacred Body and his cultivation is countless times stronger than mine. If Senior doesn't mind, this Junior can take you to capture him to be your Dao Companion."

"Oh, there's someone even better?"

Long Nan's eyes lit up. "Good. The Great Self-Sufficient Joyous Union Art that I Cultivate requires as many as possible... Congratulations, little brother, you're about to gain another brother~"

Xiao Yan: "F*ck..."

...Meanwhile, on the shore of the Eastern Sea.

Four identical Crimson Flames finally converged.

In order to Breakthrough the Azure Lotus Sword Domain set up by Cao Meng, the Devil Head utilized his Blazing Flame unique skill, splitting his main body into nine fire Dragons. As a result, three were captured by Cao Meng on the spot, one was restrained by the little enchantress using the joyous union bell, and another was taken by the enchantress Long Nan using the Demon Subduing Golden Bowl.

Nine lives, and five were lost instantly!

A majestic Ancient Devil Head, an existence that dominated an era. After breaking the Seal, he not only lost his most important Undying Heart and his vital fire spirit pearl, but he also suffered consecutive setbacks, even losing five-ninths of his Origin Spiritual Fire... There was truly no Ancient Great One in the world more miserable than this.
