"Of course! Leave this guy to me, I guarantee it'll be done cleanly and efficiently!"
Little Fire excitedly pounced on it, and Heavenly Fire erupted instantly, heading straight for the demon.
The demon clearly sensed the danger, turned around abruptly, and a fierce glint flashed in its eyes.
"How dare you trespass here? You're asking for death!"
"You're the one who's asking for it!"
Little Fire retaliated without hesitation, and the heavenly fire and the black aura of the evil spirits collided fiercely in the air, instantly making the entire top of the tower extremely hot.
Ye Lingtian stood aside, observing coldly, without making a move.
He knew that Xiao Huo needed this kind of real-world experience to hone his skills.
"Master, just you wait, this guy will be cooked in three moves at most!"
Little Fire shouted loudly, and at the same time released a net of fire that trapped the evil spirit firmly.
"Hmph, you think you can trap me with mere flames?"
The demon roared, and its black aura surged suddenly as it tried to break free of the fire net.
However, Xiao Huo sneered.
"Break free? Do you think I'm a pushover?"
Before the words were even finished, the net of fire tightened instantly, completely engulfing the demon.
After a series of screams, the demon turned to ashes, and the Heavenly Cloud Tower returned to peace.
"How was it, Master? Wasn't that clean and efficient enough?"
Little Fire wagged its tail proudly and looked at Ye Lingtian with anticipation.
"Hmm, you've improved a bit!"
Ye Lingtian said calmly, then turned and walked towards the center of the formation.
"However, the problem here is not yet solved!"
"A question? Master, is there any other question?"
Xiao Huo quickly followed, staring curiously at the dilapidated formation.
"I've burned all the evil spirits away, so could there be any left that escaped?"
Ye Lingtian did not answer. He reached out and touched the formation. A ray of seven-colored light spread out from his palm and enveloped the formation.
After a moment, he frowned slightly.
"Indeed, he's extraordinary!"
Ye Lingtian said softly.
"This formation is not an ordinary teleportation array, but a node connecting to the Void Abyss. That demon was just a pawn clearing the way; the real threat is yet to come!"
"Link to the Void Abyss?"
Xiao Huo's eyes widened immediately.
"Master, isn't this saying that the demons want to cause an even bigger disturbance directly from the Void Abyss? Then what are we waiting for? Let's quickly dismantle this lousy formation!"
"Demolish? You think it's that simple?"
Ye Lingtian glanced at it.
"This formation contains multiple seals; if we rashly destroy it, it may trigger an even greater backlash!"
"What should we do then? Master, don't tell me we have to stay here and never leave?"
Little Fire got a little impatient, rubbing its paws together.
"It's cool at the top of this tower, but if I stayed here, my tail would be all stretched out!"
"Shut up!"
Ye Lingtian spoke in a calm tone.
"The formation has been temporarily sealed off, but this is only a temporary solution. We must find out who is behind this to completely resolve the issue!"
Little Fire looked down and kicked the ashes on the ground in a huff.
"Oh dear, I was just trying to help analyze it... But Master, who set up this formation? Could a demon create something so complicated?"
"Not just demons!"
Ye Lingtian pondered for a moment.
"A formation of this level must involve human cultivators!"
Upon hearing this, Little Fire flicked its tail.
"What the heck? Human cultivators? Aren't they supposed to be sworn enemies of demons? They actually have accomplices?"
"Human greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant; for the sake of power, there will always be those who choose to collude with evil!"
Ye Lingtian stood up, his gaze as cold as frost.
"However, since they dared to take this step, they should be prepared to pay the price!"
"So what do we do now? Should we ask someone for advice?"
Little Fire's eyes darted around.
"Why don't we go back and drag that city guard cultivator here for questioning, to see if he knows any clues?"
"No need!"
Ye Lingtian moved his fingers slightly, and seven-colored light flowed across the array, instantly sealing off the entire array.
“I have already left a mark on the formation, so I can sense any unusual activity immediately. Now, let’s investigate the whereabouts of the person behind this!”
"Alright, Master, you're in charge!"
Little Fire jumped onto Ye Lingtian's shoulder, muttering something.
"But I must say, these kinds of shady characters who work behind the scenes are the most annoying! Master, if we catch him next time, you have to let me spit fire in his face first!"
We'll see!
Ye Lingtian smiled calmly and raised his hand to tear apart the void.
"Let's go, let's head back to Fengyun Pavilion first!"
"Fengyun Pavilion? What are we going back for?"
Little Fire asked curiously.
"I need to examine the Heavenly Dao Scrolls of Earth; perhaps there will be some clues there!"
Ye Lingtian stepped into the void.
"At the same time, we should also check on the recent cultivation progress of our clansmen!"
"Oh, more cultivation guidance!"
The small fire trailed off.
"Alright, our Fengyun Pavilion is pretty lively anyway, I can also go and play with Xiaoyu and the others while I'm at it!"
The two quickly returned to Fengyun Pavilion.
Inside the main hall, Ye Sitian, Ye Mo, Ye Chen, and others were already waiting. Upon seeing Ye Lingtian, they immediately bowed.
"Father!"
Ye Sitian spoke first.
"I heard you went to the border of Great Xia. Did something happen to you?"
"The demons have infiltrated deeper than we imagined. A formation linking to the Void Abyss has been discovered inside the Sky Cloud Tower in the south of the city!"
Ye Lingtian sat down and said calmly.
"The matter has been temporarily resolved, but the person behind it has not yet been found!"
"Link to the Void Abyss?"
Ye Mo frowned.
"Has the demons' ambitions extended to the core region of Earth?"
