Battle Through the Heavens: Marry Cao Ying, Reward is Devouring Ancestral Symbol

Humans, what are you... looking for?Lord Shen Wen’s expression was grave, his gaze sweeping over the slowly rotating, gradually forming pill embryo in the medicine cauldron.

The Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill had reached its most critical moment.

If it were interrupted now,

not only would the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill be completely ruined, but it might even cause the pill fire to backfire.

But if he didn’t go to their aid, the Xiao Ding brothers and the Mo Tie Mercenary Group members would surely suffer a terrible fate.

Although he, Lord Shen Wen, was not an indiscriminate do-gooder, he also couldn’t stand by and do nothing.

What’s more, the Green Lotus Core Flame might also fall into Medusa’s hands.

For a moment,

Lord Shen Wen was caught in a dilemma, and a barely perceptible fluctuation appeared in the soul power controlling the flame.

The flame inside the cauldron flickered in response.

Cao Ying, who had been closely observing Lord Shen Wen, immediately noticed his change.

She was quick-witted, and combining Qing Lin’s pale face from earlier with Lord Shen Wen’s current reaction, she immediately guessed seven or eight tenths of the truth.

She asked, ”Did something happen over there?”

Lord Shen Wen replied, ”What Qing Lin sensed should be Medusa. But I here...”

”Dan Chen and I will go first!” Cao Ying directly interrupted him, ”You can focus on refining the pill; a seventh-grade pill cannot be lost.

I am currently a Five-Star Dou Huang, and I still have a Huangji Pill. If necessary, taking it can increase my cultivation by one star.

Furthermore, I have now initially mastered the ’Crimson Emperor Fire Sovereign Qi’.

My control over flames is not what it used to be, and my soul realm has also reached the Spirit Realm. Even if that Medusa is a Peak Dou Huang.”

”If I can’t defeat her, can I not at least hold her off for a moment?”

She paused, then continued, ”Besides, Sister Dan Chen is assisting, and her soul power is special; it might have a miraculous effect at a critical moment.

We also have various pills for self-defense, enough to last until you finish refining the pill and arrive.”

”It’s too dangerous...” Lord Shen Wen said, ”How about... I just give up on this batch of pills? I can find them again later.”

”Don’t worry!” Cao Ying’s lips curved into a charming and confident arc, ”This Young Miss is Cao Ying; I won’t die that easily!

I’m still waiting to get the Green Lotus Core Flame and surpass you in alchemy in the future! How could I stumble here?

Just finish the pill as quickly as possible, then rush over immediately!”

”Now that you need my help, how could I refuse? I’m not some mere ’flower vase’!”

With that, she no longer gave Lord Shen Wen a chance to object, and directly said to Dan Chen and Qing Lin, ”Sister Dan Chen, Qing Lin, let’s go! Let’s meet that Medusa!”

Although Dan Chen was timid by nature, she knew the situation was urgent now. She nodded vigorously and stood up.

Qing Lin, even more so, stood beside Cao Ying without hesitation.

Though afraid, her eyes were firm; she wanted to lead the way and save Chief Xiao Ding and the others.

Cao Ying gave Lord Shen Wen one last deep look, her eyes seeming to say, ”Trust me.”

Then, without further hesitation, she took Dan Chen and Qing Lin, transforming into three streaks of light, and instantly rushed out of the room.

They sped towards the eastern part of Stone Desert City, in the direction of the flame marked on the map.

Inside the secret chamber, silence returned, with only the faint crackling of flames in the medicine cauldron.

Lord Shen Wen suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and said, ”If necessary, save them!”

”Yes! But the master commanded that unless the enemy is also a Dou Zun,

if I am to act in any other situation, the young master’s training will end immediately!”

A reply came.

”Stinky old man!”

Lord Shen Wen grumbled, but he understood Old Monster Lin’s intentions.

If one needed the Protector’s help for everything during training, then there was no point in training at all.

He then concentrated all his soul power and focus into the medicine cauldron before him.

The pill embryo slowly rotated in the flames, emitting an increasingly rich pill fragrance and powerful energy fluctuations... The Mo Tie Mercenary Group, following the map, began a large-scale search in the eastern area of Stone Desert City.

Hundreds of mercenaries were divided into several teams, combing through the vast desert like a fine-tooth comb.

Such a large operation naturally couldn’t be hidden from Stone Desert City’s other major force.

Luo Bu, the leader of the Sand Mercenary Group, quickly received the news. Listening to his subordinate report the abnormal movements of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group, a hint of greed flashed in his eyes.

”What are those two brats, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, secretly looking for in the eastern desert?

Such a big commotion means it’s definitely not an ordinary item!”

Luo Bu stroked his chin, ”Pass down the order, gather our men, and follow me to take a look! The ’treasure’ they found might just need a new owner!”

Soon after, Luo Bu led the elites of the Sand Mercenary Group, rushing aggressively to the Mo Tie Mercenary Group’s search area.

”Xiao Ding! Xiao Li! Get out here!” Luo Bu channeled his Dou Qi, his voice exploding across the desert like rolling thunder.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li heard the sound, their faces sinking, and they led their men to meet him.

”Chief Luo Bu, what is the meaning of this? This area is the search zone of my Mo Tie Mercenary Group,” Xiao Ding calmly stated.

”What meaning?”

Luo Bu sneered, his Great Dou Master aura erupting without reservation, pressing down on the members of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group.

”Is this Tagor Desert owned by your family? What treasure are you looking for here? Those who see it get a share, so tell me!”

Xiao Li was about to step forward when Xiao Ding pulled him back.

Xiao Li whispered, ”Big Brother, should we mention Lord Shen Wen’s name?”

Xiao Ding shook his head slightly, transmitting his voice, ”No!”

Lord Shen Wen bestowed pills so we could solve problems ourselves, not rely on his name for everything. Haven’t we already broken through to Great Dou Master two days ago? This is our chance to integrate the Sand Mercenary Group and truly dominate Stone Desert City!”

”Luo Bu, what we’re looking for is none of your business. If you want to fight, then let’s fight! Let’s see if the Sand Mercenary Group still exists in Stone Desert City after today!”

Luo Bu was furious upon hearing this, ”Arrogant! Just you two? Attack, destroy the Mo Tie Mercenary Group!”

”Kill!”

The two sides immediately clashed.

The sounds of clashing Dou Qi and battle cries shook the heavens and earth.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li exchanged glances, and their auras erupted in Luo Bu’s horrified gaze, instantly reaching the Great Dou Master level!

”How is this possible?!” Luo Bu was incredulous.

Xiao Ding’s swordsmanship was exquisite, and Xiao Li’s spear technique was fierce. The two brothers worked together seamlessly, firmly suppressing Luo Bu.

The more Luo Bu fought, the more alarmed he became. He had already sustained several wounds, and signs of defeat were showing.

He began to think of retreating, but how could the Xiao Ding brothers give him the chance? Their offensive became even more relentless.

Just as Xiao Li’s spear was about to pierce Luo Bu’s chest, at the critical moment that would determine the outcome of the battle,

a terrifying aura, like a sudden storm, descended upon the battlefield!

The sky had darkened at some point.

Everyone felt a shiver from the depths of their souls and involuntarily stopped their actions, looking in horror towards the direction from which the aura came.

In the sky above, a figure of ultimate grace stood silently.

She wore a luxurious purple brocade robe that perfectly enveloped her full, mature body.

Beneath the brocade robe, a section of purple snake tail was revealed, swaying gently and languidly.

Looking up, there was a face so alluring it was breathtaking.

Her long, narrow, light purple eyes, with every glance, exuded natural charm, as if they could steal the soul of any man.

However, beneath that allure was an indifference that looked down on all living beings.

She merely stood there, yet she seemed to become the center of the world, and even the raging sandstorm stilled for her.

Medusa!

Her gaze swept indifferently over the chaotic crowd below.

Her crimson lips parted slightly, and her voice echoed in everyone’s ears:

”Humans, what... are you looking for?”
