303. Rushing to the Rescue: A Starfall
303. Rushing to the Rescue: A Starfall
"No, we must get back to Starfall Pavilion immediately!" Xiao Yan blurted out.
Little Fairy Doctor and Venerable Wind are both in Starfall Pavilion now. Starfall Pavilion is also the foundation left by Yao Lao before his death. Given the current situation, Xiao Yan knows that he must return to Starfall Pavilion as soon as possible!
Mu Yaoyin smiled as she looked at Xiao Yan: "If Master needs us, the Tianluan Clan is willing to serve!"
At this moment, Xiao Yan looked at Mu Yaoyin before him, his eyes filled with unwavering determination, and said in a deep voice, "Senior Mu, the matter of recognizing a master can be put aside for now. If the Tianluan Clan is willing to contribute to the rescue of the Starfall Pavilion, Xiao Yan will certainly repay the Tianluan Clan's kindness in the future!"
With the Starfall Pavilion facing a formidable enemy, Xiao Yan couldn't afford to worry about anything else. Facing a behemoth like the Soul Palace, Xiao Yan realized his own strength was far too weak. If the Heavenly Phoenix Clan were willing to intervene, then the current situation would naturally be less serious.
"The Tianluan Clan, including our servants, are at the master's beck and call!" Mu Yaoyin once again stated her attitude in the simplest and most straightforward language, and Mu Yaoyin's attitude represented the attitude of the Tianluan Clan!
Beside Mu Yaoyin, Mu Zier also breathed a sigh of relief. After learning about the Starfall Pavilion, her anxiety was no less than Xiao Yan's. However, with Mu Yaoyin present, she naturally couldn't openly express her own selfish desires.
Xiao Yan nodded gratefully, "In that case, let's set off immediately without delay!"
Although the Celestial Phoenix Clan was willing to lend a hand, the situation remained very troublesome, because time was of the essence! Even using the fastest spatial wormhole, it would probably take four or five days to reach the Celestial Phoenix Clan and the Starfall Pavilion. However, judging from the message sent by Venerable Wind, the situation was far more urgent than it seemed.
Mu Yaoyin seemed to see through Xiao Yan's thoughts: "Master, you can rest assured. With the full force of our Heavenly Phoenix Clan's movement technique, Phoenix Wind Ten Thousand Miles, we can reach the Starfall Pavilion in half a day!"
Movement techniques and fighting skills are also the most praised aspect of the Tianluan Clan. The power of "Luan Wind Ten Thousand Miles" exceeded Xiao Yan's expectations. If it only takes half a day to get to Xingyun Pavilion, then there is still time!
Xiao Yan immediately clasped his hands in a respectful greeting: "Then we'll have to rely on everyone. The situation at Starfall Pavilion is far from optimistic!"
Chen Wei added, "The wind pressure generated by the Luanfeng Ten Thousand Miles is simply unbearable for ordinary people. It's fine for the few of us to use, but if it's to protect people, I'm afraid only the Ancestor could do it."
Mu Zier's eyes gleamed: "Since it's a rescue mission, quality over quantity; a few of us will suffice!"
Standing to the side, Mu Xinyuan stroked his long beard and chuckled, "If Feng Xian knew Zi'er looked like this, he'd probably be coming to propose marriage right away!"
Mu Que arrived at the council hall at this time. Hearing Mu Xinyuan's joke, he smiled knowingly with everyone and added, "If Zi'er were so concerned about the affairs of the clan, my job as the clan leader would be much easier."
Although Mu Zier tried to appear indifferent, the slight blush on her neck betrayed her. Fortunately, Mu Yaoyin interrupted the little incident: "Mu Zhao, you are responsible for staying behind to guard the clan. After an incense stick's time, the rest of you will follow the master to support the Starfall Pavilion."
Everyone nodded and then dispersed from the council hall, as they still had some things to say before leaving the clan. Xiao Yan was extremely satisfied with the Tianluan Clan's decisive and efficient style. Looking in the direction of the Starfall Pavilion, he secretly prayed that the conflict between the Soul Palace and the Starfall Pavilion would proceed more slowly, giving him a little more time!
"Senior brother, you must be careful this time!" Mu Qingluan said to Xiao Yan from the side.
Naturally, Mu Qingluan was extremely anxious about the trouble Xingyun Pavilion was in. However, only Mu Yaoyin could bring one person with her when they rushed back to Xingyun Pavilion, so Mu Qingluan naturally couldn't go along.
"Don't worry, I will protect Elder Feng and the Starfall Pavilion!"
Seeing the concern in Mu Qingluan's eyes, Xiao Yan's heart stirred. He reached out and gently stroked Mu Qingluan's head, as if comforting a small animal. Mu Qingluan's petite body trembled slightly at Xiao Yan's gesture, and a look of bewildered panic appeared in her bright eyes, but she ultimately did not resist Xiao Yan's actions.
Not far from the council hall, Mu Yaoyin's listless eyes seemed to be gazing at Xiao Yan and the other person. She knew that the little trick she had used when she left had worked.
"Little Azure Phoenix, whether the Celestial Phoenix Clan can ultimately shed its servant status depends on your luck."
As the ancestor of the Tianluan Clan, Mu Yaoyin, though claiming to have led the entire clan to acknowledge Xiao Yan as their master, truly prioritized the Tianluan Clan's interests. What she did in between was merely a means to an end. Including the petty tricks she used this time, she certainly wouldn't force anything; that would be the lowest level of approach, easily leading to an awkward situation for both sides. She was simply accelerating certain events that were bound to happen; whether they would ultimately occur depended on the mutual consent of both parties.
The time it takes for an incense stick to burn is very short, and eventually everyone gathered outside the Tianluan Clan's mountain range. At this moment, a hint of anticipation lingered in the eyes of everyone, including Mu Que. After their great battle with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, they came here to lie low. Although they weren't truly hiding their identities, this was the first time they had mobilized on such a large scale. As the true rulers of the Tianluan Clan, they naturally knew what was in the best interest of the clan; however, deep down, they disliked suppression and restraint.
Of course, Xiao Yan didn't pay much attention to any of this. After he and Mu Qingluan left the council hall, they realized that the atmosphere was a bit strange. Mu Qingluan flew away without looking back.
At this moment, Mu Xinyuan was a little curious. He didn't expect that his most beloved granddaughter wouldn't come to see him off at such an important moment.
They had no time to ponder these matters. With Mu Yaoyin's command, the five figures vanished, transforming into five enormous azure phoenixes. Wind-attribute battle qi continuously gathered, adhering to their wings. While the Phoenix Wind's long-distance speed was rapid, its weakness lay in the excessively long build-up time. It was useless in actual combat, but in the current situation, it was perfectly suited to address the Starfall Pavilion's urgent needs.
……
Outside of the Starfall Pavilion.
The sheer number of powerful figures momentarily obscured the mountain range where the Starfall Pavilion was located. Five figures stood at the forefront of the group—five powerful Dou Zun!
"Feng Xian, hand over Xiao Yan and the Calamity Poison Body, or else..." A voice filled with killing intent echoed above the Starfall Pavilion.
"Raze the Starfall Pavilion to the ground!"
