Chapter 188 Tang Clan Tang San
"Uh-huh!!!"
Hundreds of meters above the Demon Flame Valley, ripples suddenly appeared in the void, and then a slender figure in a black robe instantly appeared in the air.
Xiao Ling's posture of walking in the air was like a meteor across the night sky, silent and yet carrying an irresistible momentum.
The moment Xiao Ling's figure appeared, the guards of the Demon Flame Valley immediately fell into a low discussion.
Their eyes were fixed on the black-robed man who suddenly appeared, and their faces showed a mixture of surprise and vigilance.
"Look, who is that?" a young guard asked in a low voice with a hint of trembling in his voice.
"I don't know, but judging from the fact that he can walk in the air, he is definitely a Dou Zong-level warrior!" Another experienced guard responded, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.
"Oh my god, a Dou Zong master! What is he doing here? Is he going to do something bad to our Demon Flame Valley?" The guard who spoke first became even more nervous.
At this time, a guard who looked a little older interrupted: "Don't panic, we in the Demon Flame Valley are not so easily shaken. We have three elders at the peak of Douhuang, and each of them is extremely powerful."
"That's right. There is also our Great Elder Fangyan. His strength has reached the level of Half-Step Dou Zong. With the three elders at the peak of Dou Huang level joining forces, even if a true Dou Zong comes, he may not be able to gain an advantage." Another guard added, with a hint of pride in his tone.
“Don’t forget, we still have our Valley Master who has been in seclusion all year round. His strength is unfathomable, and he is one of the best in the entire Black Horn Region.” The older guard continued, his words full of confidence in the strength of the Demon Flame Valley.
"Yes, the Demon Flame Valley is the largest force in the Black Horn Region, and not just anyone can challenge it." After hearing what his companions said, the panic in the young guard's heart gradually subsided.
Although the guards of the Demon Flame Valley were extremely powerful, facing this unfathomable Dou Zong expert, they could only look up at him with awe in their hearts.
Just as Xiao Ling was about to cross the outer defense line of the Demon Flame Valley, a powerful aura suddenly rose from the valley, like an invisible wave, instantly covering the entire valley.
This is the aura of Fang Yan, the great elder of the Demon Flame Valley. His strength has reached the level of a half-step Dou Zong, and he is well aware of any movement in the Demon Flame Valley.
Fang Yan's figure appeared in front of Xiao Ling in an instant, like a phantom, with a hint of curiosity and vigilance in his eyes. He looked at the young Dou Zong master, secretly surprised at Xiao Ling's youth and strength.
Because Xiao Ling used the camouflage skill, Xiao Ling's appearance has changed greatly at this moment. Even Han Yue, who knows Xiao Ling inside and out, cannot easily recognize him.
"I am Fang Yan, the great elder of the Demon Flame Valley. May I ask who you are? What are you doing here, breaking into my Demon Flame Valley at night?" Elder Fang Yan's voice was steady and powerful, and every word could be heard thousands of miles away.
Xiao Ling stopped and stood steadily in the air. Facing the great elder of the Demon Flame Valley, his face showed no emotion at all. He spoke without blushing or beating his heart.
"I am Tang San, from the Bashu Tang Sect. I came to the Demon Flame Valley to make a deal with you. I have no other ill intentions."
Fang Yan's eyebrows raised slightly. He could clearly feel the fluctuations of fire-attributed fighting spirit emanating from Xiao Ling.
This fluctuation was extremely pure, far surpassing any fire-attribute practitioner he had ever met before. It was even more pure than the aura he exuded when he practiced the "Flame Art".
Moreover, he had indeed never heard of the so-called "Tang Sect". In the Black Horn Region, and even in the wider region, he thought he knew a thing or two about all the major forces, but the name "Tang Sect" was completely unfamiliar to him.
This made Fang Yan feel irrepressible curiosity about Xiao Ling's identity and purpose of coming here.
Judging from the aura emanating from the young man in front of him, Fang Yan was certain that, although the strength of this young warrior was not as good as that of the Valley Master, he was definitely not a beginner in the Dou Zong realm. His strength had at least reached the level of a three or four star Dou Zong.
Faced with such a mysterious person, even a giant in the Black Horn Region like the Devil Flame Valley would not easily become his enemy. In the Black Horn Region, where the strong prey on the weak, only strength can win respect. Here, the law of survival of the fittest is vividly demonstrated.
However, as the grand elder of the Demon Flame Valley, now that the Valley Master is in seclusion, he is the person in charge of the Demon Flame Valley. Even if his cultivation is not as good as others, he cannot lose his momentum.
"Trade?" Fang Yan asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "My Demon Flame Valley has never traded with outsiders. I wonder what treasures Master Tang San has that are worthy of my Demon Flame Valley's efforts?"
Xiao Ling's eyes swept over Fang Yan. He could feel that although the other party remained polite on the surface, there was scrutiny and vigilance hidden in his eyes.
Xiao Ling didn't intend to spend too much time here with Fang Yan, he had more important things to do.
"Elder Fang Yan," Xiao Ling's voice was calm but with a hint of unquestionable firmness, "I came to the Demon Flame Valley not to chat with you, but to discuss important matters with your Valley Master."
"Don't worry, the bargaining chips I bring out will definitely be of great benefit to your Demon Flame Valley."
Fang Yan's eyes flashed with displeasure when he heard this. In the Black Horn Region, no one had ever dared to ask to see the Valley Master so directly.
But Xiao Ling's strength and attitude forced him to reconsider. He knew that anyone who could speak with such an attitude must have something to rely on.
"Sir Tang San, the Valley Master is not someone that anyone can meet." Fang Yan's voice was still steady, but his tone was a little more serious. "But since you have something important to do, I am not unreasonable. Please follow me, and I will arrange for you to meet the Valley Master."
Xiao Ling nodded, without saying anything more, and followed Fang Yan to the reception room of Demon Flame Valley.
On the way to the reception room, Fang Yan started chatting with Xiao Ling, trying to get more information about this mysterious Dou Zong from the conversation, "Sir Tang San, from the aura emanating from you, I think you must be practicing a fire-attributed technique."
Xiao Ling smiled slightly. He didn't intend to reveal too much, but he also didn't want to arouse the other party's suspicion, so he said casually: "Elder Fang Yan has a good eye. I am indeed practicing a fire-attributed technique."
"Oh? What school or sect's martial arts is that? My Demon Flame Valley has also done a lot of research on the cultivation methods of fire attributes. Perhaps we can exchange a few things." Fang Yan continued to ask.
A sly look flashed in Xiao Ling's eyes. He knew that the other party was testing him, so he said without thinking, "I learned the Tang Sect's unique skill, "Xuantian Baolu". This is an extremely advanced skill that cannot be taught to anyone other than the core disciples of the Tang Sect."
"Tang Sect?" Fang Yan pondered, with a hint of doubt in his voice, "In my impression, there doesn't seem to be such a force. Mr. Tang San, can you explain in detail the origin of your Tang Sect?"
Xiao Ling smiled slightly, as if he had expected the other party to ask this question. He knew that the "Tang Sect" he made up did not exist in this world, but in order to hide his true identity, coupled with some bad taste in his heart, Xiao Ling did not avoid this topic.
"Elder Fang Yan, although the Tang Sect is not well known to the outside world, it has a very high reputation in certain specific fields." Xiao Ling answered calmly, trying to make his tone sound natural and confident. "Our Tang Sect is good at refining medicine and making hidden weapons. We don't often show up in the outside world, so it's normal that we are not known to the public."
"I see. I am ignorant." Fang Yan smiled slightly to hide his embarrassment. "Sir Xiao Ling, please wait a moment. I will go and inform the Valley Master and arrange your meeting."
Xiao Ling nodded to show his understanding.
Fang Yan stood up, gestured to Xiao Ling, then turned and left the reception room, preparing to go to the old demon's training room to report the situation.
Xiao Ling sat quietly in the reception room, sipping tea, waiting for a meeting with the Lord of the Demon Flame Valley.
