Chapter 1067: Ye City
The exit was a s.p.a.cious stone platform. The platform was completely built from snow-white rocks. The most shocking thing was that this stone platform was nearly a hundred meters tall. Ten enormous rock pillars supported it to such a height.
The rock pillars supporting the stone platform were just like pillars supporting the sky. They appeared towering and spectacular when looking from a distance.
The s.p.a.ce above this stone stage was very much different from other places. It appeared exceptionally messy. The large s.p.a.ce was greatly distorted with some dark-black cracks vaguely spreading out of it…
Silver light would shoot out of this distorted s.p.a.ce. Quite a number of people would be thrown out of the s.p.a.ce each time the silver light appeared. After which, they would land on the stone platform below. This place was a Wormhole transit point.
Another silver glow flashed in that distorted s.p.a.ce. A skinny figure appeared from within. Immediately, his feet pressed onto the air as he slowly landed on the stone platform.
This human figure, who had been spat out of the distorted s.p.a.ce, was naturally Xiao Yan, who had hurried over from Tianhuang City. After landing on the ground, he let out a sigh, and swept his gaze around. Surprise involuntarily surfaced in his eyes when he saw this towering stone platform.
"Is this the Middle Region? It is indeed worthy of being the middle of the Dou Qi continent. Just this Wormhole transit point is already so grand…"
Xiao Yan"s eyes swept over the lively stone platform. He discovered quite a number of figures wearing alchemist robes and was quietly speechless. This place was indeed the Pill Region, these rarely seen alchemist in other areas were actually quite common in this place.
"Recent news in the Middle Region. The Ice River Valley is offering a sky high price. Anyone who found the Woeful Poison Lady or provide information about her whereabouts will be able to bag the sky high reward of the Ice River Valley!"
A cry suddenly sounded on the stone platform while Xiao Yan was quietly sighing. This caused Xiao Yan"s expression to slightly changed. He immediately turned his head and his eyes followed the direction the voice originated from. He could see a skinny man holding a stack of papers. After which, he pasted these papers onto some stone pillars on the stone platform.
Quite a number of curious onlookers were gathering around this person. Clearly, they were a little interested in the Woeful Poison Lady mentioned by this person.
Xiao Yan"s expression was a little gloomy. The so-called Woeful Poison Lady should likely be referring to the Little Fairy Doctor. It was just unexpected… the Ice River Valley spent so much effort in order to search for traces of her.
Xiao Yan"s eyes slightly flickered. He slowly walked toward the small skinny man and curled his hand. A suction force surged out and sucked the paper out of the skinny man"s hand. He glanced over it and saw the head of a lady drawn on it. Although the imagine looked blurry, Xiao Yan could tell that the drawing on the paper was the Little Fairy Doctor.
"Hee hee, this young brother is new to the Pill Region, right? This woman has the legendary Woeful Poison Body. She has stirred a great commotion within the Central Plains some time earlier. Quite a number of factions have joined hands to hunt for her. However, she has managed to escape…" The skinny man laughed in a flattering manner to Xiao Yan. His strength might not make it, but he possessed a sharp eyesight. At one glance, he could tell that this young man in front of him was not someone that he could afford to offend.
Xiao Yan tightened the hand he used to hold that piece of paper. His gaze turned to the man in front of him as he faintly asked, "It is rumored that the Ice River Valley has exchanged blows with her recently?" Xiao Yan randomly tossed him a bag of gold coins.
The skinny little man"s face was filled with joy when he received the money bag. The flattery on his face became even more intense as he hurriedly said, "This sir is correct. Half a month ago, the Ice River Valley found the Woeful Poison Lady. The battle was quite a miserable one. The Ice River Valley has dispatched Bing Yuan and Bing Fu, these two Elders. The two of them possessed quite a great reputation within the Middle Region. Their strength is around six stars or so."
Xiao Yan"s eyelids twitched. His voice also slowly became lower, "What happened in the end?"
"The Ice River Valley has dispatched quite a number of experts. However, that Woeful Poison Lady is also not an ordinary person. She was able to kill quite a number of people when the Ice River Valley surrounded her. Moreover, she even managed to successfully escape from Elders Bing Yuan and Bing Fu. However, according to the information obtained, the Woeful Poison Lady suffered the two Elders" Heaven Eyes Mysterious Palm despite having fled from the encirclement. Currently, she is seriously injured. It is due to this that the Ice River Valley has searched all over for her. They have put forward a sky high reward. Anyone who provides some useful information will be able to obtain the reward." That skinny, little man spoke with a smile.
The chill in Xiao Yan"s lowered eyelids became even more intense. He slowly said, "Where was the place the Ice River Valley encircled the Woeful Poison Lady back then?"
"The Fallen G.o.d Stream in the north. However, that place has basically been surrounded by the people from the Ice River Valley. They suspect that the Woeful Poison Lady did not flee very far. However, they did not manage to obtain any news despite having searched for such a long time…" That man honestly replied.
"Is the Ice River Valley the only one attempting to capture the Woeful Poison Lady?"
"Originally, quite a number of factions wanted to act. However, quite a number of people from the Ice River Valley were subsequently killed by the Woeful Poison Lady. Therefore, they ended up saying that they will definitely capture the Woeful Poison Lady. The other factions no longer dared to intervene as a result… hence, the Ice River Valley is the only faction in the Middle Region which continues to chase after the Woeful Poison Lady."
Xiao Yan"s expression was indifferent as he nodded. The paper in his hand emitted a "puff" sound and transformed into a cl.u.s.ter of ashes that drifted down. He also suddenly turned around and walked away from the stone platform.
Xiao Yan took out the map that Liu Qing had given him after he walking to the edge of the stone platform. He carefully studied it, identified the direction, and turned his eyes to the north. He softly muttered to himself, "Regardless of whether it is the Ye City or the Fallen G.o.d Stream, the both of them are located in this direction. However, Ye City is closer. I should be able to reach it within a day"s time. It seems that I must increase my speed. Based on what the person said earlier, the Little Fairy Doctor"s condition is not very good…"
A killing intent surged in Xiao Yan"s heart when he thought of this. With the Little Fairy Doctor"s strength, she could at the very most fight with a six star Dou Zong even if she undid the Woeful Poison Body"s seal. She would definitely be no match for the other party if they had two Dou Zongs…
This Ice River Valley seemed to have used all their tactics in order to capture the Little Fairy Doctor…
"Ice River Valley, if anything happens to her, the little me shall be an irreconcilable enemy with you!"
Killing intent surged within Xiao Yan"s dark-black eyes. His feet suddenly stomped on the ground and his body rushed into the sky. Immediately, it transformed into a colorful glow that rushed to the northern sky in a lightning-like manner.
Ye City was not very far from Xiao Yan"s position. It was merely a day or so journey. However, Xiao Yan did pause for awhile when he found some cities along the way because he needed to gather Beast Flames.
It must be said that the Pill Region was worthy of being the middle of the Central Plains region or even the Dou Qi continent. Things were much easier to find in this place compared with other locations. Of course, the precondition was one needed sufficient money or something the other party was interested in.
Xiao Yan had stopped at over at five cities along the way. His acquisition was unexpectedly plentiful. He had obtained twelve Beast Flames and had also found quite a number of ingredients that he needed to refine a body. This rewarding experience caused Xiao Yan"s gloomy expression to become a little more relaxed.
Xiao Yan also made full use of his time during his journey to refine all of the Beast Flames he had obtained, with the exception of a unique one that he kept for other uses, into his body. After which, he gradually merged them into the "Life Transforming Flame" fire seed, allowing the fire seed to swiftly expand…
By the time Xiao Yan had merged the last Beast Flame into the fire seed, an enormous deep-green city vaguely appeared in the distant horizon.
This city was situated on a flat plain. The surroundings of the city were filled with a lush, green forest. Numerous wide roads extended out of the forest and stretched into the horizon.
"I have arrived…"
Xiao Yan sighed in relief when he saw the city that stood within the forest. A thought immediately pa.s.sed through his mind and his speed was suddenly increased.
The overlord of Ye City was the Ye clan, which had once been prominent within the Pill Region. Of course, the current Ye clan no longer possessed the glory it did back then. Even though this was the case, a camel, which was about to die from being skinny, was larger than a horse. There was still no other factions within this Ye City who dared provoke the authority of the Ye clan.
Being the overlord of this city, the Ye clan was situated right in the middle of the city. All the land within a thousand meters was the manor of the Ye clan. Normally, an ordinary person was not allowed into it. The defenses of this place were also exceptionally tight. Of course, this was only the case for an ordinary expert…
"I will definitely not marry that as***** Cao Dan!"
At this moment, an argument had occurred within the Meeting Room of the Ye clan. A lady in blue clothes was furiously crying out. Her exquisite, pretty face was filled with fury at this moment.
"Nonsense!" A green-clothed, old man within the Meeting Room expression sank as he said, "It is not like you are unaware of just what kind of situation the Ye clan is in. The Cao clan is also one of the five great clans. They are a perfect match for our Ye clan. Moreover, Cao Dan is a rare alchemist genius in the Cao clan. By marrying him, you will not only prevent the danger of the Ye clan from being eliminated from the five great clans, but you would have also found a good family to marry into."
"Even if I were to really marry Cao Dan, do you think that we can resolve this crisis? The Cao clan is filled with wild ambition. They have long desired to swallow our Ye clan. By doing this, you are merely delivering yourselves to be eaten!" The blue-clothed lady furiously retorted.
Her words caused the green-clothed, old man to become dull. He immediately spoke in a deep voice, "If this cannot work, then why don"t you tell me what we should do? Don"t tell me that you plan to rely on that whatever genius from the Jia Nan Academy that you speak of to come and rescue us? You have really overestimated that person. The danger that our Ye clan faces is not something that some random cat and dog can remove! Moreover, you have already spoken of that person for such a long time, but when will we see him? I think that he has already long since disappeared. Where would he get the guts to come and meddle in such a matter?"
The blue-clothed lady was dull for a moment after hearing this. For a moment, she was unable to find any words to refute him.
"Some random cat and dog is also not interested in helping you resolve whatever crisis…"
While the blue-clothed lady was speechless, a cold and indifferent voice suddenly resounded over the large hall!
The familiar voice lingered over the ears of the blue-clothed lady. She was initially startled before she turned around with a face filled with joy. An involuntarily joyful cry was emitted when she saw the young figure that had slowly appeared at the entrance of the hall, "Big brother Xiao Yan?"
Chapter 1068: Ye Clan
A ghost-like figure slowly appeared at the entrance of the large hall while a pair of indifferent gaze swept over everyone within. After which, those eyes paused on the blue-clothed lady. His expression slightly warmed while his voice continued to contain a gloominess, "Xin Lan, why has this happened?"
The blue-clothed lady was clearly Xin Lan, who had led Xiao Yan"s group to the Central Plains. She appeared to have understood Xiao Yan"s meaning when he said these words. Her pretty face dimmed as she softly uttered, "I"m sorry…"
Xiao Yan gradually became a lot calmer after seeing that downcast appearance of Xin Lan. She was not very strong. Moreover, it seemed that the Ye clan was currently not in a very good state. Even if Xin Lan could convince them to aid the Little Fairy Doctor, it was likely that they would not possess the ability to do so.
"Who are you? You actually dare to randomly barge into my Ye clan!"
Xin Lan"s voice had just sounded when the expression of an old man in the large hall sank. He stood up and angrily cried at Xiao Yan. There were some other elders within the Ye clan beside him. They were also looking at Xiao Yan with similarly furious eyes. Some of the somewhat younger generation possessed a gloating expression in their eyes. Although the Ye clan was currently declining, it was not in a state where anyone could come and provoke them. Moreover, this person was actually a young fellow who was of similar age to them.
Xiao Yan glanced at this old man. He was merely a one star Dou Zong. Moreover, from the looks of the seat he occupied, his position within the Ye clan should be quite high. However, Xiao Yan completely ignored him. The only one in the large hall who was able to catch Xiao Yan"s attention was the green-clothed, old man who was seated on the leader"s seat. Looking at the majestic aura that surrounded him, it was likely that this person was a six star Dou Zong.
"Follow me, lead me to her!" Xiao Yan"s eyes stared at Xin Lan as he spoke with a cold voice.
Xin Lan clenched her silver teeth when she heard this. After which, she nodded vigorously. She had led the Little Fairy Doctor and Xiao Yan to the Central Plains, but did not provide them with protection. Instead, she was powerless to do anything when the Little Fairy Doctor fell into a dangerous situation.
"You impudent young man!"
That old man who had cried out furiously earlier had an even angrier expression when he was completely ignored by Xiao Yan. His hand slammed violently onto the surface of the table. One could hear a "bang" and the hard table was shattered into powder. He immediately waved his sleeves and the chair behind him carried a wild and violent force as it shot toward Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan was completely expressionless. When the wooden chair had entered within a ten feet radius, one could hear a m.u.f.fled "puff" sound. Without any forewarning, it turned into dark-black ashes that scattered down.
There was surprise on the faces of quite a number of people present when they saw this scene. Clearly, they did not expect this young fellow to possess such skill.
"So you actually possess some skill. No wonder you dare to act so presumptuously in my Ye clan. However, the old me shall teach you, this younger generation, what it means to respect your elders!"
That old man narrowed his eyes when he saw the wooden chair being incinerated in a strange manner. He let out a cold laugh. The fury in his eyes soared as his foot stepped on the ground. After which, his body rushed toward Xiao Yan in a lightning-like manner. A wave of strange green flame surged out from his shriveled hands.
"Fourth Elder, stop!"
Xin Lan hurriedly cried out. A paleness was revealed on her pretty face when she saw this old man attacking as he pleased.
However, that fourth Elder completely ignored her voice. His character was a little hot-tempered. The situation that the Ye clan was facing also caused him to be irritated. Now, a young fellow, who had appeared from nowhere, dared to jump over him. How could he not be furious?
"Big brother Xiao Yan, leave quickly!"
Xin Lan hurriedly turned to Xiao Yan and cried out when she saw that the fourth Elder did not pause. The Ye clan might not be in a good situation now but they were still able to produce two to three elite Dou Zongs. If they really wished to capture Xiao Yan, it was likely that he would have difficulty fleeing given his strength.
Xiao Yan also ignored Xin Lan"s cry. His eyes looked at the old man who was heading over with a heated wind. A chill flashed across his dark-black eyes. Right now, his mood was also extremely bad because he was worried about the Little Fairy Doctor"s condition. This old fellow had really knocked onto his desire to hurt.
"Brat, once I have captured you, I will deliver you to your elders and get them to teach you properly!"
The fourth Elder"s figure flashed and appeared in front of Xiao Yan while many gazes, that were intending to watch a show, watched. His fist was clenched tightly and green-colored, fierce flames appeared. After which, his fist was ruthlessly swung forward!
This punch did not possess any fanciful moves. However, its majestic force caused a low, deep sonic boom to appear!
The fire fist was swiftly magnified in those dark-black eyes. At the same time, Xiao Yan raised his hand gently and slowly spread it apart…
"Bang!"
The fist from the fourth Elder of the Ye clan, that contained a green-colored flame, smashed against Xiao Yan"s palm in front of all the eyes within the large hall. However, before any cheers could be emitted, everyone"s faces became stiff as they discovered that the skinny, weak-looking, young man did not move at all…
Moreover, the cl.u.s.ter of green-colored flames on the fist of the fourth Elder seemed to have met something frightening when it made contact with Xiao Yan"s palm. It was extinguished in front of numerous stunned eyes…
The entire large hall had turned silent at this moment. The members of the Ye clan, who were gloating earlier, looked at each other. Their eyes contained some disbelief. Although the fourth Elder was not the strongest in the Ye clan, he was at the very least an elite Dou Zong. Even in the Ye clan, there was hardly anyone who could receive this powerful attack of his…
"If it is about teaching a lesson, you are really not qualified to do so."
Xiao Yan slightly raised his eyes. His gaze was indifferent as he looked at the old man in front of him, whose expression had drastically changed. The corner of his mouth was lifted into an icy-cold smile. His palm spun a little and abruptly shook!
Bang!
A frightening wild, violent strength surged out of Xiao Yan"s arm like a torrent when his hand shook. After which, it was transmitted into the body of the Ye clan"s fourth Elder.
"Grug!"
The hidden force that contained the Heavenly Flame trickily destroyed all of the fourth Elder"s defenses. His face instantly paled. His body seemed to have suffered a heavy blow as he flew backwards and heavily collided into a large pillar in the hall. A mouthful of fresh blood was spat out in front of everyone"s shocked eyes.
The originally quiet, large hall had become dead silent when they looked at fourth Elder, who had collapsed after spitting out blood. Even Xin Lan involuntarily covered her small mouth with her hand. Her face was stunned. In the past, she knew that Xiao Yan possessed the ability to fight with an elite Dou Zong. However, at that time, he was unable to merely use a palm to strike an elite Dou Zong until he spat out blood.
"It has only been less than a year… yet he is already this strong?"
Xin Lan"s eyes stared at Xiao Yan"s indifferent face. A fervent expression appeared in her eyes…
"It is not without reason that the Ye clan has declined until such a state…" Xiao Yan slowly withdrew his hands. He glanced at the fourth Elder, who had fallen onto the ground, before looking around the hall. After which, he shook his head and turned his eyes to Xin Lan, "Let"s go."
"Stop!"
Two furious cries sounded the moment Xiao Yan"s voice sounded. Immediately, two old men stood up. These two people were also elite Dou Zongs. Their strengths were a little stronger than the person earlier. Their strengths should be around that of a three star Dou Zong or so.
The two people who had stood up this time around were not as reckless as that fourth Elder. Instead, they furiously looked at Xiao Yan. They moved their bodies and blocked the exit.
"This young friend, this is our Ye clan. Putting aside your barging into this place, you have currently injured an Elder of our clan. This matter cannot be justified, right? Although our Ye clan is currently in decline, it will not accept being bullied by others in such a manner." That green-clothed, old man in the leader"s seat, who had not spoken since Xiao Yan had appeared slowly opened his mouth and spoke in a deep voice at this moment.
The faces of everyone present became a little joyful when they saw this green-clothed, old man open his mouth. Being the pillar of the current Ye clan, he still possessed quite a great reputation within the Pill Region despite the Ye clan"s decline.
"I am not the first who attacked. Moreover, I still have something to do. Xin Lan must leave with me now. I currently don"t have the time to accompany you in pursuing whatever matter!" Xiao Yan"s eyes turned to the green-clothed, old man in the leader"s seat as he furiously replied.
"What an arrogant brat!"
The expressions of the two Ye clan Elders, who had blocked Xiao Yan"s path, sank when these words sounded. They immediately cried out.
The expression of the green-clothed, old man was a little ugly. He said, "Xin Lan is a member of my Ye clan. She is not someone whom you can just bring away as you please…"
"First Elder, big brother Xiao Yan is the one whom I mentioned before. With his help, the Ye clan will definitely be able to enter the Pill Tower Elders seat once again!" Xin Lan appeared to be unwilling to see the relations.h.i.+p between the Ye clan and Xiao Yan deteriorate too much as she hurriedly cried out.
The green-clothed, old man was a little startled when he heard Xin Lan"s words. He immediately frowned a little as he looked at Xiao Yan. Disappointment appeared on his face. Such a young age… how could he be the savior of the Ye clan as Xin Lan had mentioned.
"There is no need to say anything more. I have my own opinion regarding this matter…" The green-clothed, old man faintly spoke. He immediately looked at Xiao Yan and said, "This young friend, if you are really the helper that Xin Lan has invited, please temporarily stay in the Ye clan and allow us to play our role as a host!"
These words might be put beautifully, but their intention was to hold Xiao Yan back.
A cold smile surfaced on Xiao Yan"s face. His gaze stared at the green-clothed, old man as he said, "I am not interested in helping your Ye clan. If not for Xin Lan, I would not even want to come to this place. Moreover, I have something to settle now and do not have time to waste with you. Xin Lan must leave with me now!"
A fury surfaced in the eyes of the green-clothed, old man when he saw that Xiao Yan was not willing to give in. He slowly took a step forward.
"In that case, allow the old me to try and see if you have the ability and the qualifications to do so!"
Chapter 1069: Whereabouts
A gloomy expression flashed across Xiao Yan"s face when he saw the green-clothed, old man stand up.
"Leave quickly…" Xin Lan"s expression also changed as she hurriedly turned to Xiao Yan and commanded.
The two Elders who had blocked Xiao Yan"s path of retreat seemed to have heard her words. Dou Qi slowly surged from their bodies. A cold smile was present on their faces.
"If you are really Xin Lan"s friend, please remain in the Ye clan for awhile. We might still be able to have a proper discussion…" The green-clothed, old man"s eyes stared intently at Xiao Yan while he spoke in a deep voice.
Xiao Yan was expressionless. The current him was only concerned about the Little Fairy Doctor"s situation. Where would he find the time to bother about whatever Ye clan…
"Follow me."
Xiao Yan"s gaze turned to Xin Lan as he spoke. After which, he turned around and walked toward the exit of the hall. The two Ye clan"s Elders, who were blocking the door, were completely ignored by him.
This action of Xiao Yan caused Xin Lan to be a little startled. She looked at his back and knew that if she did not follow him herself, it was likely that Xiao Yan would no longer bother about the promise he had given her… a struggle flashed across Xin Lan"s face when she thought of this. She suddenly clenched her silver teeth, turned around and followed close behind Xiao Yan.
"Insolence!"
A fury immediately surged into the faces of the two Ye clan Elders blocking the exit when they saw Xiao Yan"s arrogance. They let out a cold cry and the both of them attacked in unison. Their hands contained a surging force as they grabbed at Xiao Yan"s shoulders in a lightning-like manner.
Xiao Yan"s expression did not change in the face of an attack by two three star Dou Zongs. He flicked his finger and a silver glow flashed. A silver-colored figure immediately appeared…
Clang!
The two Elder"s sharp-eagle-claw-like hands rushed over in a lightning-like fas.h.i.+on. After which, they heavily collided with the silver-colored figure. A metallic sound as well as sparks were emitted when both parties made contact.
This contact caused the expressions of the two Elders to drastically change. Before they could pull back, however, a pair of silver-colored metallic arms penetrated the silver glow while revealing afterimages. They ruthlessly landed on the respective chests of these two with such a fast speed that they could not react.
"Grug!"
The silver-colored metallic fists did not carry any majestic Dou Qi. However, it unleashed shocking damage when the fists landed on the bodies of the two Elders. The both of them flew back like kites with broken strings. Finally, they were forced out of the hall. Two mouthfuls of fresh blood were spat out soon after.
The interior of the hall was once again in complete silence as everyone looked at the two Elders, who were suddenly sent flying from the large hall. Quite a number of people quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Numerous shocked eyes paused on the silver glow beside Xiao Yan. Following the gradual disappearance of this silver glow, a silver-colored figure was slowly revealed.
"This is the last time. Next time, I will not show any mercy!"
Xiao Yan"s back faced the people from the Ye clan. His voice contained some ice-cold killing intent. The repeated hindrances had gradually exhausted his patience.
The gloomy expression of the green-clothed, old man at the leader"s seat slowly became solemn. His eyes stared intently at the completely still silver-colored human figure beside Xiao Yan. He sensed a dangerous feeling from its body.
Currently, the Earth Demon Puppet had undoubtedly been greatly strengthened after absorbing the Pill Lightning at the Burning Flame Valley. According to Xiao Yan"s guess, it should be able to fight head-on against a seven star Dou Zong. This First Elder of the Ye clan was merely a six star Dou Zong. It was impossible for him to be a match for the Earth Demon Puppet.
"This is…a puppet?"
The green-clothed, old man"s eyes paused on the Earth Demon Puppet for a moment. Finally, he appeared to have discovered something. His eyes narrowed while he slowly spoke, looking at Xiao Yan with surprise as he did so.
Xiao Yan did not reply. He waved his sleeves and once again stored the Earth Demon Puppet into his Storage Ring. He demanded, "Can I bring Xin Lan with me now?"
The green-clothed, old man tightly frowned. His gaze was focused on Xiao Yan. This mysterious, young man had not only reached the Dou Zong cla.s.s at such a young age, but he was also in possession of a puppet with a mind-boggling strength. It seemed that his background was quite impressive. No wonder Xin Lan would always be confident when speaking about him…
"The old me is Ye Zhong, the first Elder of the Ye clan. Is this young friend named Xiao Yan?" The gloominess in the green-clothed, old man"s face was slowly withdrawn as he cupped his hands to Xiao Yan. The strength that Xiao Yan had displayed was sufficient to shake the current Ye clan. Hence, his tone was clearly much more polite than it was earlier.
Xiao Yan nodded but did not wish to remain for long. He raised his leg and walked out of the hall. Xin Lan behind him hesitated for a moment before turning her head to Ye Zhong. She said, "First Elder, I will return once big brother Xiao Yan settles his issues." Xin Lan hurriedly followed Xiao Yan after replying to him
Ye Zhong widened his mouth when he saw this situation. However, he could only let out a sigh. He ceased saying anything and allowed the two of them to leave.
"First Elder…" The fourth Elder, who had been defeated by Xiao Yan with one palm, climbed to his feet at this moment and looked at Ye Zhong.
Ye Zhong waved his hand and sighed, "Forget it, let them leave. This Xiao Yan might indeed not be an ordinary person. The Ye clan might really have to rely on him this time around."
"How can it be? He might be very strong, but this little strength is far from sufficient from allowing our Ye clan to enter the Pill Tower Elders seat… isn"t putting our hope on a person whose background we are unfamiliar with a little…" That fourth Elder hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"We have no choice. Currently, quite a number of strong factions are setting their sights on our Ye clan. If we do not adopt any measures, it is likely that the Ye clan will really be finished…" Ye Zhong shook his head and helplessly uttered.
"Now… let"s hope that this young man called Xiao Yan is really as capable as Xin Lan described. Moreover, it is likely that the matter today has given him a bad impression of our Ye clan. Ugh, this is also a matter that gives me a headache…"
Xiao Yan grabbed Xin Lan"s arm after having led her out of the Ye clan. He flew out of the city. A moment later, he finally stopped on a mountain top outside of the city.
"You should be aware of the matter regarding the Little Fairy Doctor, right?" Xiao Yan immediately asked in a deep voice after having landed on the mountain top.
Xin Lan slightly nodded. The back of her teeth bit her lower red lip as she softly said, "Back then, Little Fairy Doctor jie-jie, Zi Yan, and I successfully exited the Wormhole. After which, we spent a couple of months to reach the Pill Region. Once we arrived in the Pill Region, an immoral faction called the "Yuxian Gate" set their eyes on Little Fairy Doctor jie-jie due to her beauty. In her anger, she killed everyone in that faction. However, Yuxian Gate"s chief is also an elite Dou Zong. Although he ended up dying to Little Fairy Doctor jie-jie"s hands, she had also suffered some injuries. Coincidentally, it had resulted in the weakening of the seal and the Woeful Poison Body erupted. Finally… she was discovered by someone…
"The Woeful Poison Body is a representation of disaster in the Pill Region because there have been a number of disasters that have been created as a result of the Woeful Poison Body erupting… therefore, the news of the Woeful Poison Body had just spread when many factions attacked her. The Ice River Valley is the most active one. However, their intention is not to destroy the Woeful Poison Body. Instead, they wished to obtain this special body because the Ice River Valley loves to collect different kinds of unique bodies. After which, they will use a special method to transfer the soul of an expert within the valley into the body. Thus, they will be able to obtain some of the ability in her body…"
Xiao Yan"s expression gradually became dark and solemn when he heard Xin Lan"s words. This Ice River Valley was indeed not something good.
"Some time earlier, the place the Little Fairy Doctor had been hiding was discovered by the Ice River Valley. After which, she exchanged blows with the other party"s experts and suffered a serious injury… big brother Xiao Yan… Xin Lan is useless. I cannot even be of any help." Xin Lan"s eyes also turned red when she spoke until this point. She had blamed herself over her helplessness.
Xiao Yan inhaled a deep breath of air. He waved his hand and said. "This is not your fault… you should know where the Little Fairy Doctor is currently at, right?"
"Yes, I have received the information that Little Fairy Doctor jie-jie has sent to me. However, that place is currently surrounded by the experts from the Ice River Valley. I am unable to even enter." Xin Lan nodded and said.
"Where is it?"
"Fallen G.o.d Stream."
"It is indeed that place…" Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and spoke in a low voice.
"Although Little Fairy Doctor jie-jie has fled the encirclement of the Ice River Valley, she has suffered a serious injury and doesn"t dare reveal herself. However, the Fallen G.o.d Stream has already been surrounded by the Ice River Valley. The terrain there might be complicated but it is only a matter of time before she is found…" Xin Lan softly said, "Big brother Xiao Yan, what do you plan to do now?"
"What else can I do…" Xiao Yan stood up. His eyes looked to the north as a dense, cold glint flashed across them. "Head to the Fallen G.o.d Stream!"
"In that case, I shall lead the way for you! I know how to find Little Fairy Doctor jie-jie once I enter the Fallen G.o.d Stream." Xin Lan clenched her teeth and informed him.
Xiao Yan slightly nodded. Immediately, he seemed to have recalled something and asked, "That"s right, where is Zi Yan? Has she been following beside Little Fairy Doctor?"
"Zi Yan…" Xin Lan was startled when she heard this. She immediately let out a bitter laugh, "She has been missing not long after we arrived in the Pill Region…"
"Missing?" Xiao Yan"s expression immediately changed.
"She cannot be described as missing either. She left a message for us saying that she suddenly sensed something and wanted to return home…"
"Return home?"
Xiao Yan tightly knit his brows. Zi Yan"s ident.i.ty had always been a mystery. However, Xiao Yan could vaguely guess that her ident.i.ty was definitely extremely strong. He wondered just where her so called home was…
"Ugh, hopefully that girl is fine. Now, we can only wait until the Little Fairy Doctor"s problems are settled before finding her…"
Xiao Yan sighed. He once again grabbed Xin Lan and moved his body, rus.h.i.+ng to the northern sky as he did so. He needed to find the Little Fairy Doctor as soon as possible!
