Xiao Yan's heart was immediately filled with joy when he received the news that Luo Jin had sent over. Back then, he had not met Luo Jin since the Tian Jue Ancient Tomb. He did not know just what kind of cultivation that fellow had become after these years. If they were to meet this time around, he would definitely have a good drink with Luo Jin.
Carrying the surprise in his heart, Xiao Yan led Leng Bing Shuang to bid farewell to the Mu Rong clan and hurried towards the Xilin Region. Three days later, the two of them returned to the Xilin mountain range. Luo Jin was waiting for Xiao Yan's return.
Obviously, there would be a lot of small talk when brothers met.
"Hahahaha, brother Luo Jin, I never thought that you would have already reached the peak of late Origin Transformation after a few years. You're probably only a step away from Returnance."
As they approached, the two men gave each other a big hug. Both of their faces revealed heroic smiles. After not seeing each other for several years, not only did their relationship not fade, it had instead deepened with the passage of time.
The relationship between men was like a jar of aged wine. It did not need any seasoning. Time was the best winemaker.
"Hehe, I can't compare to you. You're basically a monster. I've only just returned to the western region, and I've already heard that you can even kill Returnance experts. I really have no idea how you cultivate," Jian Chen laughed.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan innocently shrugged his shoulders and did not say anything else.
Seeing this, Luo Jin also understood that Xiao Yan had some difficulties in his heart. He laughed out loud and did not say anything more on this issue.
"Since you've already returned to the western region, I wonder if old man Luo has come as well?"
Xiao Yan was naturally asking about Luo Ao. Until now, he still remembered the words that Luo Ao had told him back then. If he wanted to completely repair the Heavy Xuan Ruler and the Luo Tian Cauldron, he would need some special ingredients. Only Luo Ao was aware of these ingredients. Xiao Yan involuntarily wanted to inquire about them after seeing Luo Jin return this time around.
However, to Xiao Yan's disappointment, Luo Ao had already returned to the central region. Now, only Luo Jin remained in the western region. If not for his relationship with Xiao Yan, he would have returned to the central region long ago.
After learning that Luo Ao had already returned to the central region, Xiao Yan nodded, but he could not help but feel suspicious. A few months ago, Xing Gan of the Alchemist Alliance had also said that he would be going out on a trip, and the hall master of the Ghost Hall had died at his hands in order to capture him. Now, even Luo Ao, a force from the central region, had returned to the central region. Why was this?
Unknowingly, these forces from the central territory had actually retracted their main forces. Could this be a coincidence?
However, just as Xiao Yan was harboring suspicions in his heart, Luo Jin, who was originally laughing with him, gradually withdrew the smile on his face. His expression turned serious as he solemnly said:
"Xiao Yan, meeting you is only one of my reasons for returning to the Western Regions this time. The main reason is because of another matter …"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately raised his eyebrows. A bad premonition quietly rose in his heart.
"On my way back, I heard that the Sea Cloud Palace, one of the major factions in the Southern Region, is preparing to annex some of the factions in the southwest border. This includes a city, the Qingyang City. However, according to what I know, the Liu Clan in the Qingyang City insists on not submitting to the Sea Cloud Palace. Therefore … the Sea Cloud Palace seems to be planning to act against them. I know that the Liu Clan has quite a deep relationship with you, so I hurriedly came to find you."
"Swoosh!"
Xiao Yan's expression immediately darkened when Luo Jin said this. Qingyang City. Wasn't that the Liu Clan's territory? Other than him, Bai Hua was also there. Moreover, there was also that little girl called Lian 'er. She was another one with the Woeful Poison Body. He had originally planned to find her as a disciple for the Fairy Doctor. Moreover, he had promised Liu Feng that he would help him protect the Liu Clan. Now that they were about to be annihilated, how could he sit by and do nothing?
"Thank you. This information is extremely important to me. If you hadn't told me today, I'm afraid that I would have to bear this regret for the rest of my life."
Xiao Yan clasped his hands towards Luo Jin with a solemn expression. Seeing this, Luo Jin didn't have any intention to stop him. He could understand the meaning behind Xiao Yan's expression. If it wasn't something extremely important, it was impossible for him to completely express the emotions in his heart on his face. That Sea Cloud Palace had really angered Xiao Yan this time.
"What should we do now?"
Seeing the expression on Xiao Yan's face, Leng Bingshuang, who was following by the side, also asked with a worried expression. It was only at this moment that Luo Jin noticed the beautiful woman beside Xiao Yan. Feeling the powerful aura within the latter's body that was not inferior to his own, Luo Jin's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly. He didn't expect that in just a few years, not only had Xiao Yan become so tyrannical, even the cultivation of the people around him had also reached such a powerful level. Moreover, looking at the way Leng Bingshuang was holding onto Xiao Yan's arm, as long as anyone saw it, they would be able to immediately recognize the relationship between the two.
"This guy is really …"
Sensing this, even with Luo Jin's mental state, he couldn't help but feel a trace of envy rise in his heart.
"Let's go! Let's go to the Southern Region! "
Without any hesitation, Xiao Yan straightforwardly spat out these words without even thinking. With one hand holding onto Leng Bingshuang, he turned around and brought Leng Bingshuang towards Leng Cui City. The latter obediently followed beside Xiao Yan, allowing him to hold onto her jade-like hand. The two of them swiftly flew out of the Xilin mountain range. Behind them, Luo Jin hesitated for a moment before hurriedly following.
On a mountain peak in the distance, the Little Fairy Doctor, who was wearing a long white dress, gazed at the back of the person who had bitterly waited for his return, only to leave in the blink of an eye. The depths of her beautiful eyes were filled with desolation.
It seemed like he no longer needed her by his side …
An hour later, Xiao Yan's group swiftly arrived at Leng Cui City. This place was where the formation that connected the Western Region and the Southern Region was located. In the entire Western Region, only through this place could they enter the Southern Region.
However, when the three of them arrived at this place, the scene in front of them instantly caused their faces to become dull.
The originally prosperous Leng Cui City was actually a mess at this very moment. The entire city was strangely deathly silent, as if it had just experienced a huge battle. Other than corpses and broken walls that littered the ground, there was nothing left in the entire city.
The once prosperous Leng Cui City had now become a dead city!
Moreover, what shocked Xiao Yan's group the most was that the transportation formation at the center of the city had actually been forcefully destroyed by some unknown force!
In other words, the current them had no way of entering the Western Region!
