Chapter 273: First Came Xiao Tian Chi, Now Comes Xiao Tian Huo
Since these people were already overthinking things, why not make them think even more?
"Yan Sovereign" this name had a nice ring to it.
It carried an air of authority, a title that would make the entire Northwest Continent tremble at the mere mention of his name, causing knees to weaken and blood to surge…
However…
Su Qian and the two old men were all shrewd veterans.
Though they had bowed, they still didn't truly believe that Mang Tian Chi was his subordinate.
Wu Tian pulled Medusa along as they descended from the sky.
Behind him, Han Feng, Ban Lao, and the others followed closely.
Their presence was overwhelming, making Wu Tian, the terrifying Guardian Elder, seem even more majestic, shaking the hearts of everyone present.
Wu Tian stopped in front of Su Qian.
Compared to Qian Bai Elders, Su Qian was the one in charge of Jia Nan Academy right now, so it was only natural to speak with him.
Su Qian warily looked at Wu Tian, now standing just a few steps away, wondering:
What is he planning?
Then, to everyone's utter confusion, Wu Tian unexpectedly pulled out a small, brilliantly blooming chrysanthemum.
The moment Medusa saw it, her cold, aloof expression bloomed like a peony, a sight so breathtaking it left everyone stunned.
No one would have expected the usually icy Queen Medusa to reveal such an expression.
Her beauty was already enough to outshine all the women present, but now, with that rare smile, every other female around her seemed to pale in comparison.
Because of Medusa's reaction, everyone's attention was drawn to her, and they failed to notice the chrysanthemum in Wu Tian's hand.
Though most people had no idea what the flower was, Medusa, who had seen Wu Tian throw one in the magma world, understood all too well.
She was deeply wary of this little chrysanthemum.
Even though it was the "weaker" one, it still contained the soul of a terrifying Dou Zun powerhouse.
A Dou Zun soul!
No matter how old or fragmented, the strength of such an existence was undeniable.
The countermeasures it had left behind would undoubtedly be terrifying.
Even she couldn't afford to be careless around it.
If Wu Tian hadn't told her that the Dou Zun soul was already his subordinate, she wouldn't have believed that the spirit, which once fled in terror from the fire lizardmen in the magma, had actually been a mighty Dou Zun in life.
The crowd wasn't surprised that Medusa was attracting all the attention.
What shocked them was that the woman who usually looked down on the world with icy disdain was now gazing at Wu Tian with incredibly soft eyes.
They were jealous beyond jealous.
Being looked at like that by such a peerless woman was a blessing that others couldn't achieve in countless lifetimes.
And yet, despite this, the most shocking part was Medusa's subtle hint of fear.
Fear?
Why would she look at her own man with fear?
Was Wu Tian about to… hit his wife?!
Cough cough!
Of course not.
When everyone finally shifted their focus from Medusa to Wu Tian's hand, they became even more confused.
The thing that made even Medusa, a Dou Zong powerhouse, wary…
Was just an ordinary chrysanthemum?
The small flower's petals were only a few centimeters in size what was so terrifying about it?
Su Qian stared at the little flower in Wu Tian's hand, utterly puzzled.
Why take this out now?
Wu Tian smiled "kindly" at Su Qian and said,
"Let me introduce you. This is a remnant soul of one of my subordinates. His name is Venerable Tian Huo."
"What?!"
As the crowd gasped in shock, a white mist slowly emerged from the chrysanthemum.
A moment later, an elderly man with a white beard materialized in front of Wu Tian.
This was none other than Venerable Tian Huo, Yao Tian Huo.
To further highlight his master's dominance, Yao Tian Huo immediately knelt, bowing with utmost respect.
"Xiao Tian Huo greets Master!"
"…Sh*t!"
First came Xiao Tian Chi, and now there was a Xiao Tian Huo?!
Just how many trump cards did this "Yan Sovereign" have?!
If someone bore the title "Venerable," did their strength even need to be questioned?
This was obviously a Dou Zun powerhouse!
And yet, the remnant soul of a Dou Zun had been sealed inside a tiny chrysanthemum?
This was beyond humiliating for a Dou Zun!
Yet this "Xiao Tian Huo" was acting with such humility…
The first thing he did upon appearing was kneel?!
This completely shattered their understanding of the world.
No one doubted the authenticity of Yao Tian Huo's strength.
Even Su Qian and the Qian Bai Elders could sense that this "Xiao Tian Huo" was extraordinary.
Despite being a remnant soul, he still carried the unmistakable aura of a Dou Zun powerhouse!
That was something that couldn't be faked it was absolute confidence!
Wu Tian, pleased with Yao Tian Huo's sensibility, said with a smile,
"Alright, no need for such formalities. I called you out so you could get to know them."
"…Sh*t."
Get to know them?!
Su Qian's mouth twitched.
Was this really just an introduction?
Or was it just to flaunt even more of his power?
If he had brought this out earlier, would Qian Mu and Bai Lie have even shown up?
They would've just stayed hidden!
Was Su Qian… carrying the burden all alone this whole time?
"Su Qian, you've done a poor job as Great Elder! A powerhouse like this was in our Inner Academy, and you didn't even summon us?!"
"If you angered such a senior, not even ten deaths would be enough to atone!"
The two white bearded elders glared at Su Qian, their tone reprimanding yet carrying a hint of caution.
"The juniors Qian Mu and Bai Lie pay respects to Venerable Tian Huo!"
Su Qian: …Motherf !
Were they seriously groveling like this?
Couldn't they all just grovel together?
Why kick him aside before joining in?!
Truly, these old monsters were sly.
Only the Headmaster could keep them in check.
Just wait till "Xiao Tian Chi" comes back he would make sure they got what they deserved!
Yao Tian Huo swept his gaze across the people before him.
Even though he was just a remnant soul, the sharpness in his eyes made Qian Mu and Bai Lie flinch.
For a moment, they even avoided his gaze.
Was this the gaze of a true powerhouse?
It had been so long since they had encountered such an oppressive presence.
Yao Tian Huo spoke in a calm but weighty tone.
"You two… were you planning to go against my Master?"
"Of course not, of course not! We merely came to see which senior had graced our Jia Nan Academy… and to offer the Fallen Heart Flame as a gift!"
The two old men humbly bowed.
Su Qian: Serves you right! Absolutely serves you right!
Wu Tian, looking at them, shook his head in mild exasperation.
They really had the guts to bring up the Fallen Heart Flame again.
The moment Yao Tian Huo heard that the Fallen Heart Flame was being offered as a gift, a deep rage surged within him.
If not for that damn Fallen Heart Flame, would he have perished here?
Would Jia Nan Academy even exist?
Would the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower have ever been built?
Sealing the Fallen Heart Flame… was the same as sealing him!
