Suddenly, a mysterious voice emerged from the enigmatic ring, breaking their silence.

Shui Wuya's deep and cryptic voice echoed through the air: "Now is not the time to hesitate, Xiao Yan. You should hurry and seize the Heavenly Flame, and Xiao Zhan, you need to return home and take charge."

Xiao Zhan, confused, had never heard of the Heavenly Flame and asked with a puzzled expression, "What is the Heavenly Flame?"

With a thought, Xiao Yan released a chilling, ghostly blue aura from within himself, which materialized out of thin air.

The cold aura spread, forming an eerie, ghostly flame as if it were summoned from the depths of the Netherworld.

This was the Bone-Chilling Flame that had been nurtured inside him. It danced in the air, emitting a faint, icy light that instantly dropped the surrounding temperature.

Xiao Zhan, seeing this, was dumbfounded. An inexplicable shock and surprise welled up in his heart.

He never expected his son to possess such a mysterious and powerful force.

"This... this is the Heavenly Flame?"

Xiao Zhan's voice trembled as he gazed in disbelief at the scene before him, his face displaying shock and admiration.

The existence of such power was beyond his comprehension.

Xiao Yan nodded, a hint of pride and confidence showing in his expression. "Yes, Father, this is the power I have gained."

Xiao Zhan stared at his son in disbelief, his eyes wide with amazement.

Shocked, he asked, "How did you acquire such incredible power? Did Yao Lao help you?"

Yao Lao shook his head with a smile and explained, "It wasn't me; it was that mysterious senior."

Xiao Zhan was even more astonished. He hadn't realized Xiao Yan was backed by such a formidable figure.

In the past, Xiao Zhan had occasionally heard the voice of this mysterious senior, but he had never imagined that this person's power was so overwhelming.

"Unbelievable."

Xiao Zhan was full of emotion, and he immediately expressed his deep gratitude to Shui Wuya.

Xiao Yan followed suit, respectfully addressing the mysterious ring: "Yes, Master, we will act according to your instructions and will not disappoint you."

Under Shui Wuya's guidance, Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan parted ways.

With excitement and anticipation in his heart, Xiao Yan eagerly asked Shui Wuya about the location of the Heavenly Flames.

"Senior Shui Wuya, where should I go to find the Heavenly Flame?" Xiao Yan asked, his eyes glowing with excitement as he yearned for more power.

Shui Wuya smiled and replied, "In the Taklamakan Desert, there is a Green Lotus Core Flame. With my help, it won't be difficult to subdue it.

But don't rush. First, you need to visit Qingshan Town."

Xiao Yan's excitement grew after hearing this, and he gratefully thanked Shui Wuya: "Thank you, Senior Shui! I will head to Qingshan Town right away!"

Filled with anticipation and excitement, Xiao Yan quickly set off, embarking on his journey to Qingshan Town.

As he walked into the distance, his figure gradually faded, disappearing into the horizon.

Time flew by, and more than a month passed in the blink of an eye.

As the sun set, its last rays bathed the peak of Muo City, where two figures walked through the vast desert.

They were Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian.

In Qingshan Town, with Shui Wuya's help, Xiao Yan not only successfully retrieved the fragments but also met a beautiful and mysterious girl—Xiao Yixian.

Under Shui Wuya's guidance, Xiao Yan gradually learned about Xiao Yixian's identity and background. Shui Wuya also recognized her talent and potential and accepted her as his disciple.

"Master, is the person you're looking for here?"

Xiao Yan asked curiously, his eyes gleaming with anticipation and curiosity.

Shui Wuya smiled faintly and nodded. "Indeed.

This time, I've brought you to Muo City to subdue the one known as the Ice Emperor."

"Ice Emperor?"

Xiao Yan furrowed his brows, feeling a sense of caution rising within him.

He hadn't heard of the name "Ice Emperor" before, but from what Shui Wuya mentioned, this was a powerful senior, renowned for his mastery in ice-related abilities.

"Yes, that's him," Shui Wuya's eyes gleamed with a sharp, cold light.

With only Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian as his disciples, his ability to manage risks was still insufficient. If he could get the Ice Emperor to submit, the situation would vastly improve.

"Master, don't worry. I will do my utmost to complete the task," Xiao Yan said solemnly, his heart filled with loyalty towards his master.

The Ice Emperor's Map Shop was situated on a quiet street in Muo City.

Pushing open the shop's door, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian entered.

The shop's interior wasn't large but was elegantly arranged. Various maps, treasure maps, and adventure charts were neatly displayed in the windows, creating a very enticing atmosphere.

However, their attention was soon drawn to a scene deeper inside the shop.

In the center of the map shop, an elderly man with a thin figure sat on a simple, ancient ice chair. His face was pale, and his expression exuded an aura of cold severity.

This was Bo Haidong, currently sealed and only able to exert the power of a Dou Ling.

His gaze was calm, as if he were indifferent to everything around him.

Beside him stood a beautiful young girl, wearing a simple, elegant dress. Her long hair flowed over her shoulders, and she wore a bright smile as she sweet-talked Bo Haidong.

This girl was the daughter of the local city lord. She was unaware of Bo Haidong's true identity and only knew him as an elder with strong Dou Ling-level abilities, so her father had sent her to continuously flatter him.

Xiao Yan quietly observed the scene, a subtle feeling stirring within him.

He and Xiao Yixian slowly approached Bo Haidong, stopping cautiously in front of him and offering a respectful bow.

"Senior, we'd like to discuss something with you if it's convenient," Xiao Yan said politely, his tone humble.

Bo Haidong frowned. He had always been wary of strangers, especially in his sealed state, which made him even more cautious.

"Hmph, who sent you? Are you here to recruit me? I've said before, I'm not interested in serving anyone."

There was a hint of irritation in Bo Haidong's voice, clearly unwilling to be disturbed.

"Senior, you've misunderstood. We simply wish to speak with you in private about a certain matter. If it's not convenient, we won't force the issue," Xiao Yan explained, showing a hint of apology in his tone.

Xiao Yixian chimed in as well, "Yes, Senior, we don't mean to trouble you. We only want to discuss something with you and hope you can spare us a little time."

Bo Haidong snorted coldly, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian with arrogance and impatience.

"I don't need to hear your nonsense. I have no time for trivial matters. Now, leave and don't bother me again."

Bo Haidong's words carried a sense of authority and indifference, clearly indicating his unwillingness to be disturbed or have his life interfered with.
