When Yang Yan had made a move just now, he manifested his Profound Qi and Profound Skill.

Huo Rong'er knew from this that Yang Yan was not part of the Demon Clan, but the Human Clan!

However, Yang Yan had now employed the Dao Illusion Technique, transforming into a giant bear.

With Huo Rong'er's cultivation, she could not see through Yang Yan's true form, so she did not know who Yang Yan was or what he looked like!

Yang Yan closed his eyes, his lips slightly moving.

"Did your Demon Clan gather at the border intending to assassinate me, yet not know who I am?" he said coldly.

The Southern Continent's Demon Clan colluded with the Central Continent, all to take his life!

Yet when truly confronted, few recognized or knew him!

*It had to be said, it was truly ironic!*

"Kill you... You're the Central Continent's genius participating in the Heaven Ascending Qualification Battle?" Huo Rong'er said in surprise, suddenly recalling something else.

"No, that's not right, the Heaven Ascending Qualification Battle just began today

With the Central Continent's genius's cultivation, it shouldn't be possible to reach the Southern Continent so quickly.

Especially in my father's Demon Country, situated in the middle of the Southern Continent, you..."

Suddenly, she paused!

"Could it be you are Yang Yan?"

Participating in the Heaven Ascending Qualification Battle, and also a Central Continent's genius.

Could arrive in the Southern Continent in such a short time.

Besides the exceptionally gifted Yang Yan, the Dongzhou Saint Emperor, who else could it be?

"It is I," Yang Yan responded calmly.

Huo Rong'er showed a look of astonishment.

Yang Yan!

The currently most talented and highest-ranking genius in the mortal world!

He was right before her eyes!

"Indeed, who else besides you!

Who else could traverse from the Central Continent to the Southern Continent in a single day!

To think I wanted to kill you and offer you in exchange for the Demon God's inheritance, I was thinking far too naively!"

The other party was too fast!

So fast she had not anticipated it... No!

Not only had she not anticipated it, but perhaps all the demon beasts of the Southern Continent, including the Central Continent's powerhouses who came to the Southern Continent's border to kill Yang Yan, had not anticipated this!

"This person is a dragon among men, no wonder the forces of the Central Continent,

even if colluding with the Demon Clan, sought to kill him!

He was frightening!" Huo Rong'er thought.

At this moment, on the border of the Southern Continent, near the Inner Sea Coast, figures stood on the tops of large trees, peering toward the sea.

They were top experts from the various forces of the Central Continent, here for the purpose of slaying Yang Yan!

Now, they were hidden in the shadows, waiting for Yang Yan to appear!

"Are we too early? The first day of the Heaven Ascending Qualification Battle has just begun.

At Yang Yan's speed, it would take at least two or three days to get here!" one of the figures said.

"It is indeed a bit early, but it's for the sake of caution.

After all, no one knows how many trump cards that Yang Yan has or how powerful his strength is!

Does he possess any particular Treasure that could allow him to travel here at the fastest speed?" another replied.

"True, if he holds Treasures like an Array Map, he could indeed traverse from the Central Continent to the Southern Continent in the shortest time.

Could we detect him if he did?"

"Don't worry, we have a powerful cultivator practicing the Space Dao among us!

They can sense space fluctuations, knowing if anyone sneaked in.

Moreover, the Demon Clan had long set up many demon beasts behind. As soon as Yang Yan landed, they would detect him!

He could not escape our extensive preparations!"

"Good, then I can rest assured as I wait!"

The Central Continent's powerhouses slowly crouched, becoming silent.

They quietly waited for Yang Yan's arrival.

Behind them was a group of powerful demon beasts from the various Demon Countries of the Southern Continent.

The top geniuses among demon beasts!

They occupied different positions, waiting for the Central Continent's geniuses participating in the Heaven Ascending Qualification Battle, and for Yang Yan to arrive.

Outside a cave in a large mountain, a black boar charged in.

"Great King, Great King!" the black boar shouted as it ran.

It rushed to the depths of the cave, finally stopping before a meditating, levitating figure.

This figure was not human!

It was a pink piglet wearing golden armor, with a red cloak draped over its back!

Though it appeared as a pig, its posture was very much humanlike!

It was the little suckling pig that had met Yang Yan in Dongzhou but had been deceived by the Fox Clan!

The good brother of the Mountain Piercing Escape!

Upon hearing the black boar's shouts, the little piglet opened its eyes.

Its eyes were round and spirited.

"How many times have I told you, call me Great Marshal!" the little piglet said angrily.

The black boar quickly knelt down.

"Okay, Great King!"

The little piglet looked helpless!

This group of boars had not been cultivating for long, their spiritual wisdom not fully awakened.

Thus their intelligence was not very high, and they were rather stubborn, requiring slow refinement!

"Speak, what are you so urgently alarmed about!" the little piglet stopped fussing over titles.

The black boar raised its head.

"Great King, the Fox Clan has come.

As per your instructions, we have found that there is indeed a White Fox among them!

But that White Fox does not have just one tail as you said.

It has five tails!" it reported.

The little piglet's snout curled into a smile.

"Little White Fox, it has been a long time.

I hadn't expected you to cultivate five tails, truly befitting the daughter of the Jiao Dragon King!"

Then it continued.

"Aside from it, what else did you find?

Have any Central Continent's geniuses arrived, especially Yang Yan?"

The black boar shook its head.

"There's been no discovery; the Heaven Ascending Qualification Battle has only started a day, they shouldn't come so quickly!"

*Not so quickly?*

"*That is because you do not know how formidable he is,*" the little piglet muttered to itself. "Leave, and if you discover any Central Continent's geniuses or Yang Yan, come to me at once!"

"Yes!" the black boar nodded.

Then it trotted away on four legs.

"*Spiritual wisdom not fully opened, still walks on four legs!*" the little piglet sighed.

Its eyes narrowed at that moment!

"Since you are here, show yourself!" it stated.

After it spoke, the cave became silent.

Soon a white figure emerged from the wall, leaping onto a rock!

This was a White Fox with five tails!

The daughter of the Black Feathered Flood dragon King.

Little White!

"You really dare to come see me!" the little piglet said coldly.

It had nearly become a roast suckling pig, a dish divided among many demon beasts, due to the deception of Little White's aunt!

*It was a hatred it would never forget!*

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Little White responded with a light snort.

It slowly sat down on the rock.

"No matter the depth of enmity between us, you should know that there are no eternal enemies in the world!

Besides, my Fox Clan in Dongzhou was entirely wiped out by you!

My Aunt Hong was killed by you, and you have already avenged yourself!

The hatred between us is actually not that deep!"

The little piglet sneered with a mocking look.

"So? What do you want to say?"

"I want to cooperate with you to slay the Central Continent's genius who came here!"

"With my strength, do I need to cooperate with you?" the little piglet retorted.

"With your strength, indeed no need!

But don't forget, two fists cannot block four hands!

The geniuses from the Central Continent are numerous this time, and there are many in the Demon Clan who look upon you unfavorably!

They may turn against you at any moment!

While you might escape, can your subordinates escape?" Little White spoke softly.

"Besides, there is a secret between us that you must not forget!

Yang Yan!

He is someone that others desire!"
