The dust storm rose up.

Turning the entire space into a dim yellow haze.

Through the sandstorm, Yan Shilin and Qin Xingyuan could barely be seen stopping before Wang Yan, each forced back by the other's palm force, retreating dozens of steps before stabilizing.

However, the sandstorm was too intense for anyone to see who possessed the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire.

Finally, as the dust settled, everyone could see the situation before them clearly.

The first to be seen was Yan Shilin.

Yan Shilin was holding the Chen Yin Divine Mirror, but the mirror did not contain the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire, and a trace of anger showed on his face.

Seeing the anger on Yan Shilin's face, everyone understood that Qin Xingyuan had the upper hand in the battle for the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire.

Although the power of Mozi Academy was formidable, it seemed that the foundation of the Outer Guan Qin Family was even stronger.

Therefore, dozens of Demon Cultivators turned their gaze towards Qin Xingyuan.

But upon seeing Qin Xingyuan, everyone was taken aback.

Because they saw that Qin Xingyuan also had a face full of rage, and he did not have the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire in his hands.

Not only was there no Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire, but even the Flame Core Shield was missing.

Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire wasn't with Yan Shilin, nor was it with Qin Xingyuan. Where could it have gone?

Suddenly, everyone realized and urgently looked towards Wang Yan.

Sure enough, Wang Yan was still leisurely standing there, with the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire casually drifting around in his hand.

"What's going on?"

"The Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire wasn't taken?"

"I understand, it must be that the fight between Yan Shilin and Qin Xingyuan allowed him to temporarily escape the predicament."

"It must be so, but only temporarily. Next time they advance, the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire will be taken."

"But, it's strange, where is Qin Xingyuan's Flame Core Shield?"

The crowd discussed a few words, curious about the disappearance of the Flame Core Shield in Qin Xingyuan's hand.

At this moment, Qin Xingyuan angrily shouted at Yan Shilin: "Yan Shilin, you scoundrel, did you steal my Flame Core Shield?"

Hearing this, all the Demon Cultivators were shocked. The fight for the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire was expected, but Yan Shilin dared to snatch Qin Xingyuan's magical treasure.

Even with the foundation of the Outer Guan Qin Family, magical treasures are rare, valued family heirlooms, yet Yan Shilin dared to seize it?

However, Yan Shilin's expression turned cold as he said, "Qin Xingyuan, you slander me. Not only did you block my palm, but you also secretly attacked me? Otherwise, the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire would have been mine."

"Despicable! You truly are despicable."

"I think you are the despicable one."

Then, Qin Xingyuan and Yan Shilin immediately started quarreling, their faces turning red with agitation.

During the quarrel, both of them even ignored Wang Yan.

At this moment, Wang Yan said, "Are you two going to contest for the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire or not? If not, I'm leaving."

Hearing Wang Yan's words, everyone remembered that the current priority should be to seize the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire.

But then, everyone shook their heads. This Wang Yan truly was reckless; he clearly had the chance to slip away quietly, yet he deliberately provoked Yan Shilin and Qin Xingyuan.

This time, likely both will target Wang Yan again, and as a mere mortal, how could Wang Yan withstand two Mid-Tier Demon Emperors?

Sure enough, upon hearing Wang Yan's words, Qin Xingyuan and Yan Shilin immediately stopped quarreling, and both charged towards Wang Yan simultaneously.

This time, both exerted their full strength, reaching extreme speed, arriving before Wang Yan in the blink of an eye.

Once in front of Wang Yan, Yan Shilin suddenly raised his hand, the Chen Yin Divine Mirror in his grasp thrown into the air, then covering the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire in Wang Yan's hand.

Seeing this, Qin Xingyuan was taken aback.

Now Yan Shilin had a magical treasure, whereas he did not, losing the advantage.

Seeing Yan Shilin using the Chen Yin Divine Mirror to seize the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire, Qin Xingyuan was furious and shouted, "You took my Flame Core Shield, so I'm taking your Chen Yin Divine Mirror."

With that, Qin Xingyuan leaped, not for the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire, but for the mirror.

Seeing this, Yan Shilin quickly abandoned Wang Yan, raising his palms to strike at Qin Xingyuan.

If Qin Xingyuan insisted on capturing the Chen Yin Divine Mirror, he would surely face Yan Shilin's palm strike.

Helplessly, Qin Xingyuan sank down, landing on the ground, raising his palms to meet Yan Shilin's.

This time, both put in their utmost effort.

Their palms collided with a thunderous boom, a mushroom cloud surged skyward, the entire desert sinking half a meter.

Yet, Qin Xingyuan and Yan Shilin stood firm, their feet buried in the sand, their palms locked together.

Moreover, they continuously infused their hands with the Power of Demon Patterns, entering a stalemate.

Shock waves radiated outward, forcing dozens of Demon Cultivators to retreat repeatedly.

Yan Shilin and Qin Xingyuan fought to the death, neither giving an inch.

Both were Mid-Tier Demon Emperors, unable to overpower the other for the moment.

Finally, beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, gradually reaching their limits.

At this moment, both simultaneously shouted, forcefully pushing outwards, and with a loud "bang," both flew backwards, landing far away.

This exchange ended in a draw.

However, a smug smile appeared on Yan Shilin's face as he calmly said, "Qin, your skill is indeed impressive, but I won this time."

Then, Yan Shilin raised his hand to reclaim the Chen Yin Divine Mirror from the air.

Seeing Yan Shilin's action, Qin Xingyuan's expression changed, and he thought angrily, "It's over, I was so focused on confronting him that I forgot he had already deployed the Chen Yin Divine Mirror. The Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire is probably already inside the mirror from our previous battle."

Not only did Qin Xingyuan realize this, but so did the other dozens of Demon Cultivators.

"It seems the Mozi Academy indeed holds superior techniques."

"Yes, Yan Shilin has obtained both the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire and Qin Xingyuan's Flame Core Shield. If the Outer Guan Qin Family seeks accountability, Mozi Academy will likely support Yan Shilin."

As Qin Xingyuan lamented and the crowd murmured, Yan Shilin's proud expression froze.

His hand in midair trembled, yet the Chen Yin Divine Mirror did not fly back to his hand.

Yan Shilin was stunned and quickly looked up, only to see the sky was empty, not a trace of clouds nor the Chen Yin Divine Mirror.
