Wang Yan was restless in front of the courtyard; there was no way to sneak into the house all this while, yet the aura of Little Mars was becoming weaker and weaker.
If no solution can be found, Little Mars would truly be in danger.
As the aura of Little Mars grew weaker, Wang Yan's connection with him also weakened; it wouldn't be long before Little Mars completely escapes Wang Yan's control.
The situation is urgent, and cannot be delayed further.
Wang Yan clenched his teeth, ready to rush into the courtyard.
But just as Wang Yan charged halfway, he immediately stopped, eyes flashing with the color of contemplation.
At this moment, there was quite a commotion in front of the courtyard gate, with Asuras constantly coming and going. But among them, Wang Yan noticed some anomalies.
Only some of the Asuras entering the gate walked straight inside without any hindrance, while others, upon reaching the gate, would flash a black token in front of the guard, and then the guard would respectfully invite them into the courtyard.
Moreover, those Asuras who showed the black token were all at the Four Symbols Peak realm.
Among the busy Asuras entering and leaving the courtyard, these Four Symbols Peak Asuras were few in number. If not for Wang Yan's sharp eyes and attentive mind, he wouldn't have noticed this anomaly.
After discovering this anomaly, Wang Yan was delighted and immediately made a judgment.
"If I'm not mistaken, the City Lord of Illusion is inviting guests to his residence, and the black token is the invitation. All invited guests possess a Four Symbols Peak cultivation. If I find an Asura of Four Symbols Peak, I might snatch a black token from him and enter the courtyard."
Thinking of this, Wang Yan's eyes lit up, and he immediately left the courtyard, heading toward the city gates.
Sprinting, Wang Yan constantly searched amongst the Asuras around him for a Four Symbols Peak powerhouse.
Finally, just as Wang Yan was about to reach the city gate, his gaze fixed on a burly black man.
This burly black man was walking in from outside the city gate, heading straight into the city, and his cultivation was precisely at Four Symbols Peak.
Wang Yan immediately approached and blocked the burly black man.
Seeing Wang Yan blocking the way, the burly black man's face turned cold, and he said icily, "Who are you?"
Wang Yan gave a faint smile and said in a low voice, "Are you invited by the City Lord of Illusion?"
Upon hearing the City Lord of Illusion's name, the burly black man's expression slightly softened, nodded, and said, "Yes, indeed."
Wang Yan was pleased internally but maintained a calm exterior, then said softly to the burly black man, "I am sent by the City Lord of Illusion to invite you. Please, come with me."
Seeing Wang Yan's mysterious demeanor accompanied by the name of the City Lord of Illusion, the burly black man was immediately fooled, and followed Wang Yan.
The two walked several circles, arriving at a secluded place.
Then, Wang Yan turned and said to the burly black man, "The City Lord of Illusion has invited several friends this time. May I know who you are?"
The burly black man replied, "I am called Black Iron King."
Wang Yan nodded slightly and said, "So, it's Black Iron King; a famous name indeed. Allow me to tell you the true purpose for which the City Lord of Illusion has invited you."
Black Iron King listened and said, "Is it not about the Fire Spirit?"
Hearing the term "Fire Spirit," Wang Yan's heart moved, thinking: The Fire Spirit mentioned by Black Iron King must be Little Mars. Unexpectedly, the City Lord of Illusion invited these Four Symbols Peak experts for the sake of Little Mars.
Seeing Wang Yan's change in expression, Black Iron King asked in confusion, "Has something happened?"
Wang Yan quickly regained his posture, nodded and said, "Indeed, this matter is of great importance. I can only share it with you. However, to confirm your identity as Black Iron King, please recount the situation in detail."
Black Iron King, though puzzled, was already hooked by curiosity. Moreover, Wang Yan came flying from Sin Mirror City using the name of the City Lord of Illusion, thus Black Iron King wasn't very suspicious. He then recounted the events in detail.
Days ago, Black Iron King received a message from the City Lord of Illusion, asking him to come to Sin Mirror City for assistance.
The City Lord of Illusion, a Five Elements Morning Qi powerhouse, sought Black Iron King's help, which naturally surprised and delighted Black Iron King.
Furthermore, what the City Lord of Illusion requested was assistance in absorbing the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire, to breakthrough from Primordial Morning Qi to Two Elements.
Black Iron King, being at the realm of Harmonious Four Symbols, was contemplating how to breakthrough to Five Elements Morning Qi. Witnessing someone else breakthrough would be immensely beneficial for him.
Thus, Black Iron King immediately hurried to Sin Mirror City, subsequently encountering Wang Yan at the city gate.
After listening to Black Iron King's account, Wang Yan was taken aback: It turns out that the Five Elements Morning Qi has distinctions of Primordial, Two Elements, and that it is connected to the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire of Little Mars. Would absorbing Little Mars enable a breakthrough?
This was the first time Wang Yan had heard about the cultivation of Five Elements Morning Qi, so he remained silent for a while.
Black Iron King, seeing Wang Yan's continuous silence after his story, felt more puzzled and urgently said, "What's going on? Speak up, what happened?"
At this moment, Wang Yan slowly lifted his head, looked at Black Iron King, smiled faintly, and said, "Black Iron King, to be honest, a major problem has occurred."
Black Iron King's eyes widened as he said, "What problem? Has the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire escaped?"
Upon mentioning the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire running away, greed immediately appeared in Black Iron King's eyes.
If he could find this Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire, wouldn't he absorb it and achieve a breakthrough to Five Elements Morning Qi?
Seeing the greed in Black Iron King's eyes, Wang Yan smiled slightly and said, "Black Iron King's guess is correct; the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire indeed has an issue. Although it hasn't run away, the City Lord of Illusion truly can't find it."
"Where has it gone?" Black Iron King, forgetting everything, quickly stepped toward Wang Yan.
"I can certainly tell Black Iron King this, but lastly, I need to verify the token in Black Iron King's possession."
Black Iron King, eager to know where the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire went, didn't hesitate. He quickly reached into his bosom, pulled out a black token, and tossed it to Wang Yan, saying, "Look, look, this is the token."
Holding the token, Wang Yan couldn't help but smile slightly; he hadn't expected to obtain the black token so suddenly.
Without delay, Wang Yan raised his hand and stored the black token into the Starlight Ring.
Seeing Wang Yan pocket the token, Black Iron King's face darkened, and he said, "What are you doing?"
Wang Yan smiled slightly and said, "It's simple, I'll send you on your way."
