Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Instead, he asked, "So what brings you here?"

Upon hearing this, Fa Ma revealed a strange expression, then turned to Hai Bodong and said, "Back then, wasn't it you who helped Xiao Fan kill Mo Cheng of the Mo family?"

Haibodong:? ? ?

When did he do that with Xiao Fan? Wasn't it with Xiao Yan...?

Hai Bodong realized that what Xiao Yan did back then had been pinned on Xiao Fan. After all, it was said to be a strange Dou Huang using cold white flames, and the subsequent investigation was related to the little girl from the Xiao family whom they had captured...

Thinking of this, Hai Bodong looked at Fama warily.

"What do you mean, 'with him'? I have no idea."

After all, he hadn't exposed himself back then, so what was there to feel guilty about?

"I'm not going to report you. When Yun Ling asked you to keep Xiao Yan, I saw your face change. If you say it has nothing to do with you, no one would believe it."

"Talk about something!"

Hai Bodong gave Fa Ma a disapproving look, without saying whether he had been involved in killing Mo Cheng.

"Um, this..."

Fama scratched his head awkwardly, then asked sheepishly, "Do you know the person behind them?"

Hai Bodong thought for a long time before realizing who the important person Fa Ma was talking about was. It seems he was referring to Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan's teacher.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking for him...?"

Halfway through his sentence, Hai Bodong realized what was going on.

Why would he come looking for me now? He probably thought I knew the teacher behind Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan. What is he trying to do here?

There's only one purpose left: the strange fire!

Unexpectedly, the president of the Alchemist Guild of the Gama Empire would come to ask me about a strange flame.

It can only be said that although Hai Bodong knew the rarity and value of strange fire, he still could not understand why alchemists pursued strange fire.

Having witnessed firsthand that Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan each possessed more than one type of strange fire, Fa Ma's mind began to stir.

As an alchemist, my biggest dream, besides improving my alchemy skills, is to obtain a different kind of fire.

Chapter 312 Introducing a Big Shot

"hey-hey."

Fama knew that Hai Bodong had seen through his little scheme, so now that things were out in the open, he wasn't so embarrassed anymore and directly asked Hai Bodong, "How about it, would you introduce me to that esteemed person?"

Although Hai Bodong understood Fa Ma's plan, he couldn't agree to his request. It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but that he simply didn't have the opportunity to make an introduction. Not to mention Fa Ma, even he himself had always wanted to find an opportunity to meet the mysterious master behind Xiao Yan and the others.

“It’s not that I don’t want to introduce you, but there’s nothing I can do about this. If you really want to see them…” Hai Bodong gestured towards the two people fighting in the sky. “Isn’t this your chance?”

When Fa Ma heard Hai Bodong's words, his face fell. He had come to Hai Bodong precisely because he didn't know how to start a conversation with Xiao Fan and the others, but it turned out that Hai Bodong didn't have any connections either. It seemed that he would have to swallow his pride and lick the boots of the young man himself.

Fama pondered how to start a conversation with Xiao Fan later, and then remained silent.

As for Hai Bodong, he was also very curious about whether Fa Ma could persuade Xiao Fan and whether he would have the opportunity to meet their mysterious master. Hai Bodong was also very concerned, after all, he had the same idea. He should at least get to know the alchemist who could cultivate such an excellent disciple. As for whether there would be a chance to cooperate in the future, who could say for sure?

"Um?"

Yunshan frowned slightly as he watched Xiao Fan's movements and sensed the gradually increasing turbulent aura in his hands.

"There are actually two different kinds of strange fire."

Seeing that Xiao Fan wanted to fuse the two strange fires together, Yun Shan did not stop him. After all, he had heard about how terrifying strange fires were. It was already very rare to have two different strange fires, and now he was trying to fuse two different strange fires together. Yun Shan felt that Xiao Fan was really overestimating himself.

He only needs to wait until Xiao Fan is injured by the explosion of the strange fire before he makes his move.

The flames in Xiao Fan's hand gradually intertwined under his control, and an extremely dazzling blue-white flame lotus appeared in front of Yun Shan.

"Hehe, Yunshan, this fire lotus is for you."

As the flames in Xiao Fan's hands gradually intertwined, Yun Shan realized that things seemed to be going against his expectations, but it was too late to stop Xiao Fan. The two strange flames in his palm directly combined into a dazzling lotus flower that exuded a terrifying aura.

Even Yunshan sensed a strong aura of danger emanating from the lotus flower.

Xiao Fan didn't hesitate any longer. He smiled at Yun Shan and then threw the lotus flower in his hand towards Yun Shan.

As Xiao Fan moved, the blue and white fire lotus, under everyone's watchful eyes, spun and gradually approached Yunshan. During this process, the power of the strange fire continued to expand, the fire lotus gradually grew larger, and an aura of annihilation emanated from it.

Yun Shan dared not be arrogant anymore. It wasn't that he couldn't block it; if this one attack could defeat Yun Shan, then he wouldn't be a Dou Zong expert. The reason Yun Shan cared so much was to protect Yun Lan Sect and its disciples.

After all, the power of the strange fire was too terrifying. Anyone who came into contact with it would only face death. If the energy of the strange fire were allowed to spread, it would be a significant loss for the Yunlan Sect. Therefore, Yunshan had no choice but to take the attack head-on.

Yunshan's hands gradually came together from both sides towards the center, and then the space in front of him gradually distorted. A pair of huge palms appeared in mid-air, directly enveloping the space in front of him, and the blue and white fire lotus was also imprisoned within.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the fire lotus suddenly began to expand and then exploded.

"boom!"

A violent roar erupted from within, and waves of energy spread from the center of the explosion, followed by countless bursts of high-temperature flames.

While the disciples of Yunlan Sect were filled with fear, the flames and shockwaves crashed directly into the edge of the prison in mid-air.

As the flames and impacts continued to spread, Yunshan's expression gradually darkened, and the battle qi he mobilized became increasingly concentrated, constantly channeling his battle qi into the air.

After a while, the flames and fluctuations inside the palm gradually subsided.

Yunshan slammed his palms together, extinguishing the remaining flames in the sky. When he looked again, Xiao Fan was nowhere to be seen.

"Issue an order for his arrest. Anyone who provides clues about Xiao Fan can be admitted to the Yunlan Sect and promoted directly to an inner disciple."

Yunshan's simple words caused a stir in the Jia Ma Empire. He did not deliberately target the Xiao family, but only mentioned Xiao Fan. However, the families under the Yunlan Sect's influence did not stop there.

The conflict between the Xiao family and the Yunlan Sect was sown as early as the three-year agreement between Xiao Yan and Yun Shan. However, Yun Yun stopped it at the time. Now that Yun Shan is in power, coupled with the resentment over Xiao Fan's forced marriage, it is clear to everyone that the conflict between the Xiao family and the Yunlan Sect is irreconcilable. In order to curry favor with the Yunlan Sect, or rather, in order to curry favor with Yun Shan, they will naturally take the initiative to target the Xiao family.

"Alas, what a pity. I was hoping Xiao Fan could introduce me to his master."

Seeing that Xiao Fan had already disappeared, Fa Ma said regretfully, but did not stop Xiao Fan from leaving. After all, Xiao Fan had just provoked Yun Shan, and if he went up to stop him now, wouldn't that make Xiao Fan misunderstand?

"We'll have to wait until there's another opportunity to talk about it."

......

On a hilltop outside the capital, Yun Yun watched Yun Ling and the others leave, a hint of pain flashing in her eyes.

She hadn't expected that Yun Leng and the others would actually attack her. When they caught up with her earlier, she had tried to reason with them, since it was her teacher who had been pressuring her the whole time, and she hadn't done anything wrong.

However, what bothered Yun Yun the most was that Yun Ling and the others, who had pretended to be at odds with her, would attack her together once they got close.

"I never expected that Yunlan Sect, which has always relied on the combined attack formation of its elders, was able to rival Dou Huang, but in the end, I got to experience it for myself."

Yun Yun forced a strong smile and smiled at Xiao Yan on the other side.

If the other side arrives and holds off one of the elders, disrupting their formation, and if he can't bring himself to kill them, and if the delay continues, there might be more Yunlan Sect elders coming to delay him. If that happens, his teacher will be free to do so, and he won't be able to leave at all.

Upon hearing Yun Yun's words, Xiao Yan didn't say much. He sighed and said to Yun Yun, "Let's go. Let's go to the meeting place that Senior Brother told you about and wait for him."

If Yun Yun hadn't stopped him, Xiao Fan would have actually wanted to leave Yun Ling here.

After all, the Xiao family suffered such a great loss back then, and someone had to take responsibility. Also, there was the matter of my father's disappearance. Although it was because of the Soul Hall, if my senior brother hadn't asked me to go to Canaan Academy, I probably would have stormed the Yunlan Sect back then.

"Feel sorry."

Yun Yun said to Xiao Yan that she had only just learned that Yun Ling had secretly gone to the Xiao family behind her back, causing such a great loss to the Xiao family.

Ultimately, this whole affair stemmed from Yun Leng's excessive selfishness and concern for his own reputation. Because Yun Yun's rebuttal prevented him from venting his anger, he took it out on the Xiao family.

However, Yun Yun has always thought from the perspective of Yunlan Sect for so many years. Even though Yun Shan, Yun Leng and others have started to target her, Yun Yun still can't get over this hurdle in her heart. After all, Yunlan Sect is the place she has fought for all her life.

Xiao Yan simply smiled at Yun Yun when he heard her words.

"Did you do anything wrong? Back in the Yunlan Sect, if you hadn't stopped Yun Leng, I probably wouldn't have been able to leave the Yunlan Sect."

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yun Yun didn't say anything, after all, she had only done so because of Xiao Fan.

"Shall we leave now? Will he get into trouble if he stays behind?"

Hearing Yun Yun's words, Xiao Yan smiled and then said loudly, "It's alright, don't worry. It's just a mere Yunshan Mountain; it won't be able to keep Senior Brother here."

Hearing Xiao Yan's slightly arrogant words, Yun Yun was somewhat worried, but she still chose to believe them. Xiao Yan, on the other hand, had immense confidence in Xiao Fan. With the existence of the Three Thousand Thunderbolts and the fact that his senior brother was already a Dou Huang, Yun Shan really couldn't stop him from leaving if he wanted to. Therefore, Xiao Yan was very at ease.

After hearing Xiao Yan's explanation, Yun Yun and Xiao Yan headed towards the location of the Monster Mountain Range.

It was in this very place that I first met Xiao Fan...

After throwing the Fire Lotus towards Yunshan, Xiao Fan left Yunlan Sect without looking back.

Xiao Fan was aware of the strength of his attack. It might cause some trouble for Yunshan, but it wasn't enough to inflict any real damage.

After leaving the Yunlan Sect, Xiao Fan headed towards the Monster Mountain Range.

He knew that the conflict with the Yunlan Sect was now out in the open, and the Yunlan Sect would definitely take a series of measures against the Xiao family. The Yunlan Sect was the undisputed overlord of the Jia Ma Empire, while the Xiao family was just a small family in Wutan City. If the Xiao family wanted to survive in this upheaval, they would probably have to give up something.

As Xiao Fan flew towards the location of the Monster Mountain Range, he pondered how to deal with it.

"The power of the Yunlan Sect in the Jia Ma Empire is self-evident. Ordinary people probably wouldn't dare to provoke them. Within the Jia Ma Empire, the only forces that can rival the Yunlan Sect are probably the Mittel family and the Jia Ma Empire's royal family."

"However, the Xiao family and the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire are not related, and they would not be willing to offend the Yunlan Sect for our sake. It seems that we still have no choice but to ask the Mittel family for help."

After some thought, Xiao Fan finally concluded that only the Mittel family would help the Xiao family.

On one hand, it's because of the relationship between Hai Bodong and Xiao Yan; Hai Bodong still wants to get the Fu Zi Ling Dan from Xiao Yan. On the other hand, in the original work, the Mittel family is the only force that is willing to help the Xiao family after they turn against the Yunlan Sect.

This is also Xiao Fan's advantage in being familiar with the plot. Although many things have changed due to the butterfly effect, and it is impossible to absolutely distinguish who is good and who is bad, it is still possible to predict who will help him in times of crisis.
