--- Chapter 211 ---

Baek Ain stretched his right hand casually and pulled Roc's Spine from the ground. The white spear glimmered with redness as he slaughtered living spirits made of blood.

He was disappointed in himself because Protector Maise could still live after that sneak attack. Even though Protector Maise is still dying, Baek Ain believes he should have refined his control better.

"But the Spear God of Darkest Winter is really that powerful, huh?" He looked around funnily. Ice is one of the few elements Baek Ain hasn't come into touch much as he mainly focuses on fire and lightning elements.

But from this one-sided demolition, he discovered Ice Elements is ideal for close-and-range encounters. At the very least, he found it very suitable with his spear-blade technique.

"Husband, how is the situation?" Luo Bingbing asked while landing a few meters away from him.

Baek Ain smiled and responded, "I've finished them all off and also blew the Dark Spirit Realm where the Protectors hide."

"What about your side?"

"Our side? Well, it's not that interesting..." Luo Bingbing answered honestly. "They are a bit too weak for my liking."

Just say they are small fries!

Don't sugarcoat it.

Baek Ain was helpless with this little wife of his.

As his mind wandered to the surrounding area, he recalled that the Hall of Souls' Branch is close to two valley factions.

One of the valley factions is Burning Flame Valley, which possesses a deep foundation in fire element mastery and the Skyfire Three Mysterious Change passed down by Xiao Clan's Genius, Xiao Xuan.

And that secret technique wasn't bad at all!

It could increase one's strength based on how many Heavenly Flames possessed in one's body. At first, one didn't think much about it because things like Heavenly Flame are rare, and the people who could subdue it are even rarer.

Yet Xiao Xuan(Xiao Yan's Ancestor), who developed this Skyfire Three Mysterious Change for Burning Flame Valley, probably didn't expect a cultivation technique like Flame Mantra or Record of Burning World that dominated strange fire like Heavenly Flames to exist in this world.

Unfortunately, Baek Ain has no memories of the Skyfire Three Mysterious Changes upon killing Xiao Yan. Either Baek Ain is unlucky that he didn't get the right portion of the memory, or Xiao Yan didn't get the secret technique in the first place.

Still, Baek Ain has another way to obtain such a secret technique.

Yes, his daily Sign-In!

If Baek Ain Signs to the Burning Flame Valley's important place, there is a high chance he could get the Skyfire Three Mysterious Change.

However, there is also a decent probability that the Sign-in attempt at the Burning Flame Valley didn't get a satisfactory result.

Then, Baek Ain might as well Sign to Xiao Xuan's tombs directly in the Gu Sacred Mountain Range to get Skyfire Three Mysterious Change straight from the source.

'Okay, let's visit the Burning Flame Valley before returning to the Pill Tower.' Baek Ain thought to him.

Meanwhile, Yao Dan also arrived near Baek Ain and asked, "Brother Lin, where are the Protectors?"

"Dead." Baek Ain answered calmly, stunning the Patriarch of the Ancient Yao Clan.

"Damn." Yao Dan couldn't hide his shock.

He knew Baek Ain was powerful as he was a Dou Saint who had killed an expert like the Mysterious Female Ghost and Southern Dragon King, but still, this was a bit too much.

'Brother Lin is good in alchemy, and his fighting prowess exceeds an old expert like Patriarch Gu. Maybe marrying Yao Ling'er to him wasn't a bad decision.' Yao Dan really appreciated the brave Yao Ling'er for bypassing the taboo of the teacher-disciple relationship.

But then, Yao Dan realized a crucial fact.

'Wait, if Brother Lin decided to revive his clan in the future, it would be the most powerful clan in the world. With such a connection, Yao, Gu, and Yan Clan's prosperity is 'undeniably' guaranteed!'

'Hehe, our Yao Clan's Heiress is one of Lin Clan's ladies! I can brag about it even to my death!'

Cough! Cough!

Yao Dan cleared his throat, "Brother Lin, what's your plan after this."

"We have destroyed the Hall of Souls's Branch, so should we proceed with setting traps in the Gu Sacred Mountain Range?"

"Yeah, we should." Baek Ain agreed immediately. "Prioritize arrays that entrap and weaken Soul, Blood, and Darkness Fields. If possible, make them as invisible as you can from Dou Saint's senses."

"We are really going at it with full force, huh? I like it." Yao Dan chuckled in amusement. "Hun Clan won't see this coming."

"No, they probably did." Baek Ain broke his fantasy.

"After all, every Ancient Clan has a method to view their clansmen's death. Without it, your clan's standing would go downhill as random people can just kill your family and go away unpunished."

"Ah, that's true..." Yao Dan was embarrassed.

"What should we do then?"

Baek Ain shook his head gently and continued, "But there is also a slight chance they don't know anything. Because in their vision, I'm the only one who attacked the Hall of Souls' Branch and killed all the elders and ten protectors."

"They wouldn't monitor the moment of low-level members' deaths because they aren't worthy enough of being marked, making you guys invisible."

"Still... Being cautious is better than nothing. Just expect the worst, Brother Dan."

"You're right..." As the Patriarch of the Ancient Clan, Yao Dan knew that every strategy must come with foolproof planning.

Even if he had to dirty his hands, Yao Dan would do everything for his Yao Clan and people.

"By the way, I wouldn't return with you guys." Baek Ain suddenly said.

"Eh, why?" Yao Dan blinked in disbelief.

Baek Ain waved his hand and told a random reason, "I want to take a look at the Burning Flame Valley. I heard they have a deep background in controlling fire elements and are masters of treasure crafting."

"Tell Senior Yuan to clean up this place. I'm going with my wives and two elders of Pill Tower."

"Hmm, okay. I will tell Patriarch Gu and Elder Huo." Yao Dan nodded.

"Thanks." With a smile, Baek Ain responded. He turned around and then disappeared from Yao Dan's vision.

"Let's meet again in the Gu Clan."

Watching the parting clouds that allowed sunlight to fall on the destroyed land, Yao Dan sighed in reverence and commented, "A man like Brother Lin is 'undoubtedly' destined for greatness."

...

Baek Ain and four ladies sped up in the sky, breaking the sound barrier that scared away some wild Magical Beasts. They could teleport to their destination, but flying is ironically faster.

After all, Burning Flame Valley isn't that far from the now-destroyed Hall of Souls' Branch.

"Ain, where are we going?"

"You're telling us to follow you so randomly..."

Baek Ain chuckled, "We are going to the Burning Flame Valley. I heard they had something interesting there."

"Really?" Yi Xian's eyes gleamed in anticipation.

'So easy to trick...' The other ladies were baffled by Yi Xian's reaction.

After a few minutes, they finally arrived at the Burning Flame Valley and were greeted by the reddish rocky cliff. Below it is the Burning Flame Valley, which housed many descendants of the Tang Clan.

"Should we just enter?" Lan Rou tilted her head.

Baek Ain gave her a funny look and replied, "No, we are individuals with manners, so we can't just enter other people's homes without notice."

"But we just destroyed the Hall of Souls' Branch." Qing Lin couldn't help but comment.

"They aren't people." Baek Ain flatly returned.

"Fair enough." The ladies couldn't refute him.

Baek Ain quickly came up with a not-so-brilliant idea and released a bit of Dou Saint's presence to the Burning Flame Valley. The ladies gave him a stinky gaze, but he ignored it.

'So much for being well-mannered!' They rolled their eyes.

BOOM!

An elder inside the Burning Flame Valley opened his eyes in dread and shivered upon sensing the hidden presence outside his clan's territory.

He's only a Two-Star Dou Saint, but the expert waiting outside is many times stronger than him.

"Who is it?" He stood up after taming his fear and walked into a spatial tear.

Baek Ain waited and finally saw an elder with fiery red hair. He cupped his hand and greeted, "Hello, elder."

"I hope my presence didn't disturb you."

"My name is Lin Feng, and I'm here to look at your Burning Flame Valley's ancient architecture."

"Of course, I wouldn't ask this for free."

"If you let us, I will heal your old wounds." He laid down his offer.

The Ancestor of Burning Flame Valley was shocked. He didn't expect to meet such a young Dou Saint here. On top of that, this young Dou Saint knew about his old wounds.

Ultimately, Ancestor Huo Yun is still wary.

"Here, I will give you a small demonstration." Baek Ain snapped his finger and used Golden Crow's flame to wash over Ancestor Huo Yun's body.

Ancestor Huo Yun's eyes widened in shock as he sensed terrifying power from the Golden Crow's flame, yet Baek Ain's skillful control prevented him from getting burned.

"T-This, what kind of flame is this?"

"Wait, my old wounds... They are getting better." Ancestor Huo Yun was speechless.

Baek Ain maintained a confident look and asked again, "What do you think?"

Ancestor Huo Yun considered the pros and cons and eventually nodded because he couldn't sense any ill intentions from Beek Ain and his women.

"Welcome, Junior." He gestured warmly.

[Wow, your persuasion skill has become better] Alicia said.

[Or is it because the people from the Cultivation World are so easy to butter up?]

'Obviously the latter.' Baek Ain laughed inside as he walked into the Burning Flame Valley with Ancestor Huo Yun.
