Chapter 202: Meeting Qing Tan Again

"Huahuan, this is for you!"

Xiao Tian retrieved his Heavenly Demon Puppets and flew back, handing a Life Profound Bone Pearl to Ying Huanhuan. He gave another to Lin Dong, and planned to save the last two for Qingzhu and Su Rou.

Although Ying Xiaoxiao and Wang Yan coveted the pearls, they knew it was Xiao Tian who had earned them, and they couldn't protest if he didn't share.

Ying Xiaoxiao asked, "Where are we going now?"

"We're heading to the Ancient Flaming Vault!" Xiao Tian replied with a smile. "I bought a bronze furnace the other day, and it contained a map to the Ancient Flaming Vault."

Hearing this, Ying Xiaoxiao remarked, "Many people know where the vault is, but it has never been opened."

"I'm confident it will open this time," Xiao Tian said.

"Since you're so sure, let's go!"

With that, the group headed deeper into the wasteland.

...

The Ancient Flaming Vault was located in the center of the Realm of Demons. It took about ten days to get there from the periphery. Along the way, they encountered numerous demons. With Xiao Tian around, these creatures posed no threat.

The closer they got to the vault, the more people they saw, indicating the widespread interest in the renowned ancient site.

On the tenth day, the dark ground turned a fiery red, as if ablaze. They arrived at an immense crimson basin. From above, it looked like a massive palm print, clearly left by an ancient superpower.

Seeing the swarm of people in the basin, Ying Xiaoxiao exclaimed, "I didn't expect so many people to come to the Realm of Demons this time."

Ying Huanhuan glanced into the distance and said, "All the major sects are here. Let's go too!"

"Alright."

They flew to the center of the basin.

"It's Brother Xiao Tian!" Su Rou's face lit up with joy upon seeing Xiao Tian.

"Don't these people know that Yuan Gate is here? Even though Xiao Tian is strong, can he handle Yuan Cang and the other two?" a handsome man behind Qingzhu said coldly. Since Qingzhu and Xiao Tian had been together, he had harbored great animosity towards Xiao Tian, considering Qingzhu his dream goddess.

Qingzhu smiled slightly and said, "I believe in him."

"Maybe."

As they conversed, Xue Ling approached and asked, "Brother Xiao, did you take care of those four demon corpses?"

"Yes," Xiao Tian nodded, not bothering to lie.

Xue Ling gave Xiao Tian a deep look and a thumbs-up. "Impressive!"

He then lowered his voice, "Yuan Gate is likely to clear the area soon. If you're not confident, it's best to avoid them."

"Who will clear out whom is yet to be seen!" Xiao Tian replied with a faint smile.

Now that they were in the Realm of Demons, leaving required going to the teleportation array. Yuan Gate's people were essentially trapped, and Xiao Tian wasn't afraid of revealing himself. He could kill as he pleased.

At that moment, two groups approached under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

"That's the Ghost Blade Sect and the Fire Cloud Sect, both close to Yuan Gate," Ying Xiaoxiao explained. "They're not Yuan Gate's vassals, but they always follow Yuan Gate's lead."

Soon, the two groups arrived. A man in black from the Ghost Blade Sect, a Nine Yuan Nirvana stage cultivator, stepped forward, followed by a red-robed man from the Fire Cloud Sect, also at the Nine Yuan Nirvana stage.

"I am Meng Duan from the Ghost Blade Sect."

"Yang Huo from the Fire Cloud Sect."

They cupped their fists and said, "Brother Yuan Cang doesn't want to see you here, so you should leave immediately, or you might suffer even more than last time!"

The Dao Sect disciples' faces darkened at this provocation.

"I heard you're Yuan Gate's lapdogs. Today, I'll teach Yuan Gate's dogs a lesson," Xiao Tian said, flashing forward and striking with both hands.

"Bang!"

In an instant, Yang Huo and Meng Duan were sent flying, coughing up blood.

"Whoa!"

The crowd gasped. Sending two Nine Yuan Nirvana stage experts flying with one blow was a feat even peak Nine Yuan Nirvana stage cultivators struggled to achieve.

"Xiao Tian, if you want to fight early, I'll send you to your death now!" Yuan Cang sneered, drawing a black iron sword.

"Swish!"

He swung the sword at Xiao Tian, unleashing a sky-splitting sword beam that descended upon the Dao Sect disciples with terrifying speed.

"Swish!"

Just then, a surge of gray light collided with the sword beam, causing a massive explosion.

"Chen Kui, this is between Yuan Gate and the Dao Sect. Why are you interfering?" Yuan Cang asked coldly.

"Chen Kui? The number one wanted man on the sect's list?"

"Why is he helping the Dao Sect?"

The crowd buzzed with excitement.

"Swish!"

Two streaks of light approached, revealing two figures. Xiao Tian looked into the sky and saw a familiar figure.

The figure turned, revealing a stunningly beautiful face. She waved happily, "Brother Xiao Tian, Brother Lin Dong, hello!"

"Qing Tan? What are you doing here?" Lin Dong asked in surprise. He remembered Xiao Tian had mentioned that Qing Tan had gone to the Northern Profound Region. Why was she in the Eastern Profound Region now?

Qing Tan giggled, "I missed you both, so I came over."

She descended and stood beside Xiao Tian, asking, "Brother Xiao Tian, did you miss me?"

"Of course," Xiao Tian smiled, pinching her cheek affectionately.

This display of intimacy drew the crowd's attention. Qing Tan, in her dark dress, slender figure, and stunning looks, with her expressive eyes, captivated everyone. Despite her young age, she promised to be as beautiful as Qingzhu.

"Damn, why do all the beautiful women have ties to Xiao Tian?" Many hearts ached, and eyes filled with envy.

"Heartless playboy, heartless playboy!" Ying Huanhuan gritted her teeth, looking like she wanted to bite Xiao Tian.

Not far away, Qingzhu and Su Rou also showed signs of displeasure.
