...

Tianxing City!

It was once one of the major cities of the Starry Sky Dynasty.

It has now been occupied by Xiao Yan and become his palace.

The leaders of the thirty-seven sects surrounded Xiao Yan.

He held his head high, like a king on a pedestal, enjoying the praise of the crowd.

"Now that Young Master Yan has broken through, he's like a dragon rising from the ashes, his power unstoppable!"

"Hehe, this year's battle for the number one prodigy in the world will definitely be won by Young Master Yan!"

"Of course! Young Master Yan is a figure of immense stature; a mere battle of prodigies is nothing more than a piece of cake for him!"

The various sect leaders chimed in with their own words, making Xiao Yan feel quite flattered.

He pressed down lightly with both hands.

"You sect leaders are too kind! I have mastered my divine skill and wish to establish the Flame Alliance. I wonder if any of you would like to join!"

The prefect of Xiping was the first to stand up.

"Young Master Yan, your words are truly inspiring! We from Xiping Prefecture are the first to surrender! From now on, we are willing to serve you, Young Master Yan, even unto death!"

Seeing that the Lord of Xiping Prefecture had expressed his stance, the other sect leaders also announced their surrender.

Xiao Yan possesses astonishing strength and has the backing of the Xiao clan, making his rise to prominence inevitable.

When he truly matures, these sect leaders will all be his loyal subjects.

When the time comes, expanding territory and enforcing rules will be much better than fighting alone.

Xiao Yan became increasingly smug.

Just then, someone appeared and whispered a few words in the ear of the Star-Picking Sect Master.

The sect leader of the Star-Picking Sect stood up.

"Young Master Yan, something terrible has happened! Nangong Xiaoya is trying to escape!"

Xiao Yan's eyes turned cold.

"How dare she! Who else could it be but her?"

"Just Granny Xu, with the cultivation of the Innate Gathering Peak Realm!" said the Sect Master of the Star Picking Sect.

"Heh, you dare to play tricks in front of me? You're asking for death!" A hint of anger flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes.

Lord Xiping said, "Young Master Yan, there's no need to worry. This old codger is nothing to me!"

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Alright, then it's you!"

He then selected five more sect leaders who were at the peak of the Innate Realm.

With the six top-tier Innate Realm experts attacking together, Nangong Xiaoya and Granny Xu are definitely doomed.

Xiao Yan looked in the direction of the Starry Sky Dynasty's imperial city, a sinister smile appearing on his lips.

"Nangong Xingyun! It seems I'll have to teach you a lesson!"
