Chapter 449: Venerable Yan Arrives with His Beloved Wife to "Support" the Event!
"So, he is Wind Venerable?"
"All four Venerables appearing one after another… This trip was definitely worth it!"
"That's right! Normally, it's almost impossible to see even one Dou Venerate, and today we've seen four of them!"
"This Four Way Pavilion Tournament is on a completely different level. No wonder it's attracted so many people."
"If I perform well and get noticed, it'd be like a blessing straight from the heavens!"
"Yeah, but… we don't even qualify to participate!"
"Do you have to be so blunt?"
"Yes."
As the crowd buzzed with excitement, Thunder Venerable and Sword Venerable exchanged polite nods with Wind Venerable.
Wind Venerable had been famous far longer than them. Though their ranks were equal, he still commanded a certain level of respect.
Of course, there was also a subtle hierarchy between them, which made such gestures necessary.
The Falling Star Pavilion had long been a dominant force within the Four Way Pavilion. Back when its Pavilion Master was present, it had completely overshadowed the other three Pavilions, to the point that even higher ranking sects did not dare underestimate it.
While Thunder and Sword Venerable exchanged polite gestures
Ghost Venerable merely averted his gaze.
Clearly, there was bad blood between him and Wind Venerable.
Even when forced to meet, he chose to ignore the latter altogether.
Of course, today was different.
The four of them had no choice but to be here together.
There were important matters to discuss later.
Wind Venerable maintained his usual warm smile and acknowledged both Thunder and Sword Venerable.
But when it came to Ghost Venerable
He merely gave him a casual nod and said, "Ghost Venerable."
Ghost Venerable narrowed his eyes, but after a brief pause, nodded back.
"Wind Venerable."
Though hostility still lingered between them, they both knew when to put their grudges aside.
Today was not the time for petty rivalries.
After exchanging pleasantries, the four Venerables rose from their seats and scanned the audience.
Instantly
The thunderous chatter across Thunder Mountain fell into a dead silence.
"Today marks a grand occasion for my Wind and Thunder Pavilion. I thank you all for coming to Thunder Mountain to support us."
Thunder Venerable's voice boomed like a roaring storm, laced with an undeniable thunderous authority.
Even the most powerful warriors in attendance felt their bodies tremble under his presence.
"However, as you all know, my Wind and Thunder Pavilion has strict rules. I trust that no one will cause any unnecessary disturbances during this event.
Otherwise… my Pavilion will "
He suddenly paused mid sentence.
The four Venerables simultaneously stood up and turned their gazes to the sky!
A powerful presence had arrived!
For a force capable of making four Dou Venerates react like this
It could only be another Dou Venerate!
"BOOM!!"
A terrifying explosion of energy erupted across the sky!
In an instant
A blazing crimson inferno engulfed the heavens, dyeing the entire Thunder Mountain red with fire!
As the inferno spread, an unbearable heatwave washed over the entire area.
Even the strongest warriors present felt their bodies tremble uncontrollably under its power.
Among them
Xiao Yan clenched his fists tightly.
His heart pounded violently, his instincts screaming in both excitement and caution.
Yet
Even though he tried to suppress his own flames, his Beast Flame and Yin Yang Dual Flame began to flare up uncontrollably.
Xiao Yan's entire body felt like it was about to ignite!
At this moment
The four Venerables briefly glanced in his direction.
Most of them quickly looked away
But Wind Venerable's gaze lingered.
"Two types of Heavenly Flames…?"
His eyes narrowed sharply as he studied Xiao Yan.
A dual fire wielder? That can only mean… the Flame Mantra technique?
Wind Venerable immediately thought of Han Feng the traitor of the Black Corner Region who had once wielded Flame Mantra.
And more importantly
He thought of Medicine Elder.
If this boy had Flame Mantra… then did that mean…
He had encountered Medicine Elder?!
Wind Venerable's breath hitched.
His mind raced with possibilities.
Was this boy Medicine Elder's successor?
Could his old friend still be alive?!
His emotions swelled
But he quickly forced himself to calm down.
Now was not the time for rash decisions.
He would observe carefully before making any moves.
Meanwhile, high above
Amidst the burning sky
A calm, commanding voice resonated across the mountain.
"A grand tournament like the Four Way Pavilion's… how could my wife and I possibly miss it?"
"Don't you agree, Venerables?"
As those words fell
The crimson inferno above shattered like falling stars, dispersing into the sky.
Two figures descended gracefully.
A man and a woman.
Their appearance instantly captivated every single person present.
The man was incredibly handsome, appearing no older than twenty five.
Draped in a black dragon robe, his piercing gaze glowed like brilliant starlight.
The woman, on the other hand
Was an absolute goddess.
With an innate seductive charm, her curvaceous figure and peerless beauty made her every man's dream and every woman's envy.
Her exquisite face carried a cold yet mesmerizing aura, making her presence both awe inspiring and untouchable.
"That… That's the Cai Lin Pavilion Master, Venerable Yan, and Queen Medusa?!"
"It has to be! I've heard rumors of their beauty, but this… this is beyond imagination!"
"Venerable Yan is too handsome! Is he really a Dou Venerate?!"
"Shut up, junior sister! Do you want to die?!"
"Oh, come on~ I was just saying! I wouldn't mind becoming one of his women, you know~"
"Junior sister, there's a difference between dreams and delusions."
"Hmph!"
As Wind Venerable stared at Venerable Yan, his expression darkened slightly.
Because
This was, without a doubt
The most ridiculously handsome Dou Venerate he had ever seen.
"Why… Why does he look so young?"
Could it be that he had consumed an Eight Tier Eternal Youth Pill at age twenty?!
How was that even possible?!
"So, Venerable Yan and Queen Medusa have come to grace our Four Way Pavilion Tournament…
The Wind and Thunder Pavilion naturally welcomes you."
Thunder Venerable's tone remained polite, but his eyes were ice cold.
"However, may I ask… what brings Venerable Yan here today?"
Venerable Yan smirked faintly.
"Oh, my wife and I simply came to enjoy the tournament."
"Of course… aside from spectating "
"I also came to return something to you all.
As his words fell
He casually waved his sleeve.
Instantly
A spatial rift tore open beside him
And from within, three figures stepped out!
