After finishing off Mu Han, the danger of Qingyang this time around could be considered to have come to an end. Although they had suffered a great loss, it was fortunate that the worst outcome in Xiao Yan's heart did not occur. This could be considered a blessing amidst the misfortune.
With Mu Han's death, the nine-layered lightning array that enveloped the heavens and the earth dissipated. Zhong Li, who was trapped by the array in the sky, was also freed. When he arrived in front of Xiao Yan and saw that the latter was dressed the same as before, he could not help but feel surprised.
After so many years, even this group of people had gained quite a lot of white hair. On the other hand, this appearance of Xiao Yan in front of him, which had not changed at all, involuntarily caused him to recall the scene back at the Ancient Savage City. Everything seemed to have happened yesterday.
"Haha, I didn't expect that even brother Zhong Li would come."
Only after seeing Zhong Li escape did Xiao Yan become aware that Zhong Li had been here all along. This was something that he had not expected.
"It's not just me. Qin Zhong is here too. Even Lu Du, who was defeated by you back then, is here."
Hearing Lu Du's name, Xiao Yan could not help but secretly ponder for a moment. After all, it was something that happened many years ago. There were some things that he could not remember clearly. However, after rummaging through his memories, he roughly remembered that Lu Du had indeed fought with him for the Void Lightning Pool in the Ancient Savage City. Unfortunately, Lu Du was defeated by him. He did not expect that Lu Du would also appear here.
Soon, Qin Zhong and Lu Du dragged their heavily injured bodies and arrived in front of Xiao Yan, supporting each other. The two of them had already noticed Xiao Yan's arrival. Unfortunately, they could not move their bodies. Otherwise, they would have already rushed over. Now that they had rested for a while, they could barely endure the pain and walk. Even so, when the two of them arrived in front of Xiao Yan, they could not hide the excitement in their hearts.
"Brother Xiao Yan, I have failed to live up to your expectations. The Liu clan actually …"
"Hehe, Brother Qin Zhong, you don't have to worry about it. These opponents are not something you can handle. Xiao Yan is already very grateful that you can persist until now. Now, you should focus on recuperating. Leave everything to me."
Xiao Yan helped the ashamed old Qin Zhong up. After throwing a comforting smile at the latter, he handed a rank five medicinal pill to Qin Zhong. Only then did his gaze land on Lu Dou by the side.
If one were to say that Qin Zhong had helped him protect the Liu clan because of the agreement between the two of them, then Lu Dou's appearance was a little strange. He was someone who had been defeated by Xiao Yan. The two of them should have been at each other's throats. It was unexpected that he would actually help Xiao Yan protect the Liu clan.
However, since it had already come to this, Xiao Yan naturally wouldn't delve into the reason. He also smiled and said a word of gratitude, and handed the latter a tier five medicinal pill without hesitation.
When they received the medicinal pill in their hands, everyone's eyes couldn't help but show a strong shock. With their eyesight, even if they were stupid, they could see that this was a tier five medicinal pill.
Suddenly, Qin Zhong and others couldn't help but show shock on their faces. Although they also knew that Xiao Yan was an alchemist, when they witnessed Xiao Yan's powerful strength, they really couldn't imagine that his alchemy skills could be so powerful.
No one could cultivate cultivation and alchemy to such a level at the same time. At least, they didn't dare to imagine so.
"Brother Xiao Yan, this medicinal pill …"
"Hehe, brother, don't worry about it. This is what I refined when I had nothing to do before. I still have a lot here."
These unintentional words caused these fellows, who were already seriously injured, to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Xiao Yan's words had undoubtedly admitted his identity as a tier five alchemist to them. This made them feel even more shocked.
They had spent most of their lives in order to train to their current level. However, Xiao Yan in front of them had trained both the way of alchemy and the way of alchemy to such a powerful level. Regardless of whether it was in terms of cultivation or alchemy skills, Xiao Yan could be considered strong.
If the Xiao Yan back then could only make them look at him in a different light, then the current Xiao Yan already possessed strength that they could only look up to.
He was able to kill two Origin Transformation experts by himself, including a tier five formation master. With such strength, Xiao Yan could definitely be regarded as one of the best among all the Origin Transformation experts. It was even possible that Xiao Yan was an invincible existence among the Origin Transformation experts.
Soon after, Liu Huabai and Liu Xincheng also saw Xiao Yan. When they saw Xiao Yan again, every single one of them revealed a smile as if they had just survived a disaster. Even though they had just barely escaped with their lives, the moment they saw Xiao Yan, the haze in their hearts was instantly swept away. Their originally heavy hearts immediately relaxed.
Xiao Yan's appearance was like the sun that had emerged from the dark clouds, sweeping away all the haze. It was as if as long as he was present, all dangers would be easily resolved.
Soon after, under Zhong Li's lead, the group of people temporarily entered a relatively intact courtyard in the city. Other than Zhong Li and Bai Hua, the rest of the people went to the side and began to refine the medicinal pills in their bodies. Murong Qianqian was resting in a room in the courtyard. After the stimulation just now, this girl had completely fainted. It would probably take a while for her to wake up.
"Mister Xiao Yan, I never would have thought that after so many years, you would have already become so powerful. It really makes me feel ashamed."
Xiao Yan and the two others were seated opposite each other in the courtyard. Now that they were close, Zhong Li was able to clearly sense the faint aura and pressure that seeped out of Xiao Yan's body. Xiao Yan did not release or withdraw it. He simply allowed it to spread in such a calm manner, causing one's heart to be extremely shocked.
"It's just good luck. There's nothing to feel ashamed about."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled faintly. After saying a few words of comfort, his gaze once again landed on Bai Hua, who was beside him, and asked her about the situation of the Liu Clan over the years. Bai Hua also explained everything to Xiao Yan in detail, including how the relationship between Sea Cloud Palace and Qingyang City had deteriorated to such an extent.
On the other side, while Bai Hua was still describing the development of the Liu Clan to Xiao Yan in detail, somewhere in the southwest border, in a magnificent large hall, three broken jade plates were lying in the palm of a black-haired middle-aged man. At this moment, the middle-aged man's face was unusually gloomy.
"Chen Yan, Wu Xinglong, and … Mu Han, they actually … actually all … died!"
