BTTH: From Genius to Invincible

Xiao Yan took out some medicinal ointment from his storage ring and carefully applied it to the Blue Eagle's wound.

The fact that the wound was still fresh, having been inflicted recently, gave him a small measure of comfort.

Chirp chirp! The Blue Eagle tugged at Xiao Yan's clothes with its beak, urging him to hurry and save her.

Xiao Yan climbed onto the Blue Eagle's back and said, "Go!"

The Blue Eagle flapped its huge wings as his words fell, creating a strong gust of wind as it soared toward Qingshan Town with him on its back.

Long after Xiao Yan had flown away, a sudden whirlwind blew through, and a massive creature descended from the sky.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King!!

"Based on the scent of the Amethyst Lion Birth Essence, it should be here."

Xiao Yan had no idea how close he had come to losing his little life.

The Amethyst Lion Birth Essence was born alongside the offspring of the Amethyst Winged Lion King. Therefore, the Amethyst Winged Lion King could sense it as soon as its hard shell was broken.

Not long ago, Xiao Yan had relied on the Nihility Devouring Flame to crack the shell and had been discovered by the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King looked around and finally came to the cave where Xiao Yan had stayed. After removing the large rock, the young Amethyst Winged Lion King hurried into the cave.

Roar~! The young Amethyst Winged Lion King shook its head but signaled to its father that the thief had indeed been there recently, as traces of the Amethyst Lion Birth Essence were still on the ground.

But now the place was deserted.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King narrowed its eyes and said in a deep voice, "No matter, we will wait here. If his goal is the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, he will definitely return."

...

Xiao Yan jumped down from the Blue Eagle not far from Qingshan Town.

"You stay up here, I'll sneak into Qingshan Town to assess the situation, and we'll talk about rescuing Little Fairy Doctor afterward."

Chirp chirp! The Blue Eagle had spent so much time with Little Fairy Doctor that it could understand some human speech It flew up into the sky and circled over Qingshan Town.

Xiao Yan put on his Soul Robe and walked through the town once again.

Hearing the hustle and bustle around him, he, having been isolated from the world for several months, couldn't help but sigh a little. Humans were indeed social creatures.

However, this time, he did not have the leisure to stroll around and quickly pushed the random thought out of his mind.

'Why are there so few people?'

Xiao Yan remembered that a few months ago, when he first arrived at Qingshan Town, the streets were bustling with people and activity, with lively sounds coming from every corner.

Now, far from being lively, the entire town seemed like a ghost town, with everyone looking anxious and the atmosphere eerily somber.

"Sigh, who knows when this epidemic will end."

"It should be soon. Haven't they already found the source?"

"But I still don't believe that this disaster was caused by Little Fairy Doctor."

! ! ! !

With furrowed brows, Xiao Yan turned to the two people talking and approached them, "Hello, I'm from out of town. Can you tell me what's going on in Qingshan Town now? It wasn't like this six months ago when I was here."

He took out some gold coins and slipped them into their hands.

The two men were delighted at the sight of the gold coins.

"If you're just passing through, you'd better leave quickly," one of them said. "For the past two months, people have been mysteriously dying in Qingshan Town, and no one has been able to trace the source."

Xiao Yan's heart sank. He remembered that when he left, Little Fairy Doctor had said she would hide in the Thousand Medicine House. With her reputation and the protection of the Thousand Medicine House, the Wolf Head Mercenary Company shouldn't dare to touch her.

But now it seemed that the Thousand Medicine House hadn't protected her.

'Could they be framing her?!' Xiao Yan thought. If Mu She knew about that cave, then it wouldn't be hard for him to guess that his son's death was related to Little Fairy Doctor and himself.

He asked with a smile, "You just mentioned that Little Fairy Doctor is the culprit. Who said that? Isn't she a physician? She even treated me once."

The other man sighed and shook his head. "Alas, who else but Mu She, the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company? He's been claiming for months that Little Fairy Doctor discovered treasures in a cave and caused his son's death. He demanded that the Thousand Medicine House hand over the murderer, but they ignored him, believing he was making baseless accusations."

"But unexpectedly, a few days ago, the owner of the Thousand Medicine House suddenly declared that Little Fairy Doctor was the source of this mysterious epidemic."

Xiao Yan's expression darkened. People were indeed greedy. It seemed that when the owner of the Thousand Medicine House learned about the treasures and precious medicinal ingredients Little Fairy Doctor had found in the cave, he finally decided to collaborate with Mu She and betray her.

"Sigh, anyway, this matter should all end today. I heard that the Wolf Head Mercenary Company finally captured Little Fairy Doctor this morning, and they plan to burn her in the Thousand Medicine House today."

Boom! Xiao Yan's expression tensed as soon as those words were uttered. His Purple Cloud Wings unfolded, and a powerful surge propelled him straight into the sky toward the Thousand Medicine House.

"Dou Qi Wings!!!"

"Is he… is he a Dou King?!!"

The two men were utterly stunned when they saw Xiao Yan spread his wings and fly. They had never expected that this young man with a gentle smile on his face could possibly be a Dou King!

"Is he heading toward the Thousand Medicine House?"

"It seems so... Could it be!"

"Quick! Hurry to the Thousand Medicine House! Something big is about to happen!"

…

At the entrance of the Thousand Medicine House, more than ten fully armed guards stood watch. Meanwhile, dozens of mercenaries from the Wolf Head Mercenary Company crowded the grounds inside.

The entire place was so tightly secured that not even a fly could sneak through.

In the room of Mr. Yao, the owner of the Thousand Medicine House, Little Fairy Doctor, who was tied to a chair, glared with extreme anger. She seriously wondered if she had gone blind, as she had trusted the wrong people not once, but twice!

"Little Fairy Doctor, you have poisoned all of Qingshan Town. Your crimes are heinous. Hand over the medical compendium you found in the cave so we can prepare an antidote. That's your only chance for redemption," Mr. Yao said in a deep voice.

Little Fairy Doctor gave a cold laugh as she looked disdainfully at the middle-aged man in front of her. The person she once trusted immensely was now conspiring with the Wolf Head Mercenary Company to kill her for the treasures in the cave.

"Ha, keep dreaming. I'd rather die than give you anything."

Little Fairy Doctor had been very cautious; she had packed everything and sent it away with Xiao Lan as soon as she sensed that something was wrong.

Mu She laughed coldly from the side, then his face darkened as he said, "I don't believe you'll be so stubborn when you're about to die. Let's see if you can keep up this tough talk when you're on the burning platform."

Just then, a mercenary suddenly burst through the door and said urgently, "Leader, that Xiao Yan who killed the young leader has made his way in through the main gate!"

"What?" Mu She and Mr. Yao looked at each other in surprise when they heard this.

They knew, of course, that Xiao Yan was an accomplice, as he had registered when he joined the guards to enter the Magic Beast Mountain Range. When Little Fairy Doctor and the others returned, he was the only one besides the Wolf Head Mercenary Company who had not returned.

Mu She had also sent people into the Magic Beast Mountain to look for him, but the area where he had been in recent months was too deep for the Wolf Head Mercenary Company to reach.

Upon hearing news of Xiao Yan, a glimmer of emotion flashed through Little Fairy Doctor's beautiful eyes, and a smile appeared on her lips. Finally, these eyes of hers had not misjudged.
