Yan Shilin and Qin Xingyuan, along with dozens of other Demon Cultivators, have been waiting in this desert for a day and a night. Although their endurance surpasses that of ordinary people, the prolonged wait has made everyone restless.

Except for Qin Xingyuan and Yan Shilin, nearly all the other Demon Cultivators looked around anxiously.

Yet, Qin Xingyuan and Yan Shilin kept their eyes shut, sitting there peacefully.

Though their eyes were closed, they had already surveyed the surrounding situation.

At this moment, Qin Xingyuan thought to himself: This Yan Shilin is indeed a prodigy of Mozi Academy, able to maintain his breath steady for an entire day and night. It seems that in this battle for Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire, he will be my strongest opponent.

On the other side, Yan Shilin also thought: The Outer Guan Qin Family is truly a family with a legacy of thousands of years. This Qin Xingyuan is indeed a formidable rival. The others don't seem to be a threat.

At this moment, they both considered the other their adversary.

Just then, the sound of camel bells could be heard from afar. In such a quiet place, the sound was piercing, immediately catching everyone's attention.

"What's going on? There are camel bells?"

"Could someone be coming?"

"Impossible. The area is surrounded by the Fire-Eating Ant Legion, how could anyone reach us?"

...

Not just the other Demon Cultivators, even Qin Xingyuan and Yan Shilin opened their eyes, both showing a trace of doubt.

At this time, as the camel bell sound drew nearer, they saw a camel with two people approaching them.

As the pair got closer, everyone realized that the newcomers were a young man and a young woman.

The two were Wang Yan and Ouyang Feiting.

After their eyes swept over Wang Yan and Ouyang Feiting, everyone immediately ignored Wang Yan and focused on Ouyang Feiting.

Firstly, because Ouyang Feiting had an extraordinary beauty that could charm the fish into sinking and the birds into falling - and secondly, because she exuded the aura of a Demon King.

Due to the Blood Sandalwood Bead, Wang Yan's cultivation was completely concealed, making him appear just like an ordinary person.

As all present were Demon Cultivators who valued cultivation, an ordinary person like Wang Yan naturally drew no interest.

Seated on the camel, Wang Yan glanced at the crowd lightly, instantly understanding the situation before him.

Everyone seemed to be gathered, waiting for something. Wang Yan had come here because he sensed the intense heat.

Seeing so many Demon Cultivators, Wang Yan knew that this was the place where Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire would appear. And the crowd here was obviously to compete for it.

Thus, Wang Yan dismounted the camel, helped Ouyang Feiting down, patted the camel, and said, "You should go rest too."

The camel bobbed its head and walked away into the distance.

Although accustomed to heat, it was simply too hot here, prompting the camel to retreat far off.

Seeing Wang Yan and Ouyang Feiting intending to stay, everyone was puzzled.

It made sense for Ouyang Feiting to stay, as she was a Demon Cultivator here for Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire, but what purpose did an ordinary person like Wang Yan have in staying?

However, after a moment, everyone figured it out, assuming Wang Yan was merely Ouyang Feiting's attendant, tagging along to make up the numbers.

Thus, they ignored Wang Yan and focused on Ouyang Feiting, assessing her cultivation to see if she posed a threat.

Their eyes darted about, but no one dared to step forward.

Then, Yan Shilin stood up, approached Ouyang Feiting with a slight smile, and said, "Hello, I'm Yan Shilin from Mozi Academy."

Upon hearing "Mozi Academy," a peculiar expression flashed in Wang Yan's eyes, and he looked Yan Shilin up and down. However, Ouyang Feiting was unaware of Mozi Academy's stature, so her face showed no reaction.

Seeing Yan Shilin step forward to speak, everyone stared intently at Ouyang Feiting. When they noticed her lack of response, they all shook their heads, concluding she was a novice for no reaction to Mozi Academy's name.

As Yan Shilin greeted her, Ouyang Feiting looked uncertain about how to respond, turning her gaze to Wang Yan.

Wang Yan softly said, "Nice to meet you. I'm Wang Yan, and she's Ouyang Feiting."

That Ouyang Feiting didn't answer but instead let an ordinary person speak for her puzzled Yan Shilin slightly, but he politely smiled at Wang Yan and then turned to Ouyang Feiting, saying, "In the world of Demon Cultivators, there is only one Ouyang Family. Is the young lady perhaps from the Wanghai Ouyang Family?"

The Ouyang Family, though known as one of the Four Great Clans in Wanghai City, held a low status among Demon Cultivators worldwide, and few had even heard of it.

But that Yan Shilin instantly knew it surprised everyone, who admired his vast knowledge.

This time, Ouyang Feiting nodded slightly.

Yan Shilin asked again, "You two came from outside. Did you see the Fire-Eating Ant Legion? How did you manage to get here?"

Upon Yan Shilin asking this, everyone perked up, listening intently.

Wang Yan inwardly snorted, thinking, "So they're trying to probe me, each with ulterior motives. In that case, let's make them even more uneasy."

With that in mind, Wang Yan smiled slightly and said, "You mean those red ants?"

Hearing Wang Yan refer to the Fire-Eating Ants as red ants, everyone shook their heads, holding back as they listened on.

Yan Shilin maintained his smile, responding, "Yes, those red ants. Did you see them?"

Wang Yan nodded, "Yes, and we came face-to-face with them."

At this, everyone was shocked. To have passed right through the Fire-Eating Ant Legion unharmed – how was it possible?

Yan Shilin was surprised, promptly asking, "And then?"

Wang Yan shrugged, "Then we arrived here and saw you all."

"And the Fire-Eating Ants?" Yan Shilin inquired hurriedly.

"I captured them all," Wang Yan stated nonchalantly.

Hearing Wang Yan, everyone was taken aback, but moments later, they burst into laughter.

"Hahaha — turns out he's a fool."

"He said he captured them all, what nonsense."

"Don't mind him, just a lunatic."

For a time, laughter and ridicule filled the air.
