The newcomer was an old man. Judging from his calm demeanor in the face of Little Fairy Doctor's aura, he was most likely the only Dou Zun expert in the Starfall Pavilion—Feng Zun Zhe.
The old man was dressed in a green robe, with long hair cascading over his shoulders, giving him a carefree air. His appearance was not ordinary; even in his old age, one could still faintly discern a hint of handsomeness. It was likely that he was quite good-looking in his youth. Moreover, perhaps because he cultivated wind-attribute battle qi, his aura was somewhat ethereal and unpredictable, giving him an eerie and unfathomable feel.
Xiao Yan stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Are you Venerable Feng?"
The old man nodded, while also scrutinizing Xiao Yan's strange group. The white-clad woman beside Xiao Yan was nearly as strong as himself. He considered himself a well-informed person in Zhongzhou, but he had never heard of a beautiful woman with such strength.
On Xiao Yan's other side was Fei Tian, the Northern Pavilion Master of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. However, Xiao Yan's group didn't seem to belong to the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. If the Wind and Thunder Pavilion still had a Dou Zun, they wouldn't have been able to hide until today. Moreover, Xiao Yan said he was a disciple of an old friend. He and Lei Zun were at most acquaintances, but they didn't have any real relationship. The respect this young man showed him was not something a disciple of Lei Zun of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion would have.
Although the young man in the middle was not as strong as himself, he still gave Feng Xian a faint sense of danger. The more Feng Xian looked at the group, the stranger he felt.
"Forgive my poor eyesight, but I couldn't discern your origins. Would Pavilion Master Fei Tian be willing to introduce you to me?" Venerable Feng said in a deep voice.
Xiao Yan smiled easily: "Young Xiao Yan, Venerable Feng, do you recognize this item?"
Xiao Yan took out an ancient and large black ruler from his storage ring, and Feng Zun Zhe, who had been calm and collected even when facing a Dou Zun powerhouse, froze in an instant.
Venerable Feng's gaze was fixed on Xiao Yan's enormous, ancient ruler. In that instant, Venerable Feng's body seemed to freeze into a statue, his eyes almost fixed on the giant ruler in Xiao Yan's hand. A terrifying storm roared and formed above his head...
Although not a single word was spoken, Xiao Yan was very clear about the turbulent emotions that Venerable Feng was experiencing.
"Where did this come from? Don't even think about leaving until you can explain!"
Fei Tian was somewhat surprised to see Venerable Feng like this, after all, Venerable Feng was always calm and composed, with exceptionally high self-control. Since he had known Venerable Feng, he had never seen him lose his composure like this.
Looking at Venerable Feng, Xiao Yan finally felt relieved. It seemed that Yao Lao's close friend could be trusted.
"Since he is a disciple of an old friend, it must have been a gift from my teacher," Xiao Yan said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Venerable Wind laughed and said, "Good, that's the answer I wanted to hear most, but the Mysterious Heavy Ruler alone is not enough."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan raised his right hand, and a purplish-red flame lotus slowly swirled in his hand. Then, under Xiao Yan's control, the purplish-red flame began to peel away and split into three completely different flames. Each flame exuded terrifying power and was undoubtedly a different kind of flame!
The three extremely yang and powerful strange flames coexisted in Xiao Yan's hands without any conflict.
Seeing the swirling flame in Xiao Yan's hand, the apprehension in Venerable Feng's eyes immediately diminished by more than half.
"The only cultivation technique in the world that can simultaneously contain three different types of flames is the Burning Technique in that guy's hands."
Venerable Feng, his beard and hair seemingly smiling, looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Good, good! Xiao Yan, right? That guy's eye for talent is as sharp as ever."
All of this was arranged when Xiao Yan and Yao Lao parted ways. The Burning Blade Technique was a secret known only to a very few people, and among these few people was Yao Lao's close friend, Venerable Feng.
Then Venerable Feng immediately came to Xiao Yan's side and asked anxiously, "Where's that old guy? Did he come with you?"
Seeing the urgency in Venerable Feng's eyes, Xiao Yan smiled wryly and said, "Venerable Feng, this is not the place to talk."
At the same time, Xiao Yan felt a warmth in his heart. Other things could be faked, but this kind of genuine emotion could not be faked. Feng Zun Zhe's high regard for Yao Lao was definitely not a betrayal of Yao Lao's trust in him. This was what it meant to entrust one's life to another.
At this moment, Venerable Feng seemed to suddenly realize something. With a wave of his hand, the space fluctuated, and a space the size of a small city appeared before the four of them.
Looking at the space before him, Xiao Yan couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. The secrecy of the Starfall Pavilion was indeed unexpectedly good.
Looking at the Starfall Pavilion before him, Venerable Feng sighed subconsciously, "This Starfall Pavilion should have belonged to him all along, and now there is finally news."
The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.
Fei Tian, standing to the side, also felt his eyelids twitching wildly. The Starfall Pavilion belonged to him? The Medicine Venerable?
Judging from Venerable Feng's previous loss of composure and what he said now, it can be basically confirmed that Venerable Yao, who has been missing for many years, has been found? Moreover, Xiao Yan is Venerable Yao's disciple!
This news made Fei Tian tremble all over. It was news that could affect the situation in Zhongzhou. Even a Dou Zun expert would have to bow down and obey the number one alchemist on the continent.
The more Fei Tian learned, the more horrified he became. He knew far too much, and once Xiao Yan and Venerable Feng verified the information, the first person they would probably kill was him to keep the secret.
He could only wait to die, and if he tried to escape, Little Fairy Doctor could kill him with a single thought.
No one could truly understand Fei Tian's feelings. As soon as they arrived at the Starfall Pavilion, Venerable Feng pulled Xiao Yan aside to inquire about Yao Lao's information, while Xiao Yan asked Little Fairy Doctor to wait for a while.
After the two entered a secret room, Feng Xian couldn't wait to ask, "Where is that old guy now? How is he... alright?"
In the end, Venerable Wind hesitated, and his voice even trembled slightly.
He was so excited just now that he didn't care about anything else. Now that he has calmed down a bit, a bad feeling has formed in his mind, so he doesn't dare to ask Xiao Yan for confirmation.
Xiao Yan smiled again as he watched Feng Zun Zhe's emotions fluctuate wildly because of Yao Lao. The last time he saw such emotional changes because of Yao Lao was when Xiao Yan's cheap senior brother, Su Zhang.
"Rest assured, Your Excellency, although my teacher is not with me, he is very safe now, and I am making preliminary preparations for his resurrection."
With Emperor Di Nian by his side, there's probably no safer place in the entire Dou Qi Continent.
Upon hearing this news, Venerable Wind's tense body relaxed.
"Yao Chen and I are sworn brothers. Since you are his disciple, you are also my disciple. From now on, Xingyun Pavilion will be your home."
