When the old man's voice spread across the desert, the life in the bewitching eyes, whose neck was being grabbed, swiftly dissipated. Soon after, the old man waved his hand and the delicate body shot backwards, sending Xu Cong, who was being suppressed by the Northern King, flying. Soon after, his turbid eyes landed on the large green faced man and Ma Fu. He casually waved his hand and the two of them were immediately sent flying.
After which, the old man lowered his eyebrows and looked at the Xiao Yan duo in front of him. When he sensed the special bloodline aura on the two of them, a surprised expression immediately appeared in the old man's eyes.
"Strange, isn't there only one person? Why do these two fellows possess the bloodline strength of my Xiao clan?"
The old man asked doubtfully. He frowned tightly. He was clearly looking for one person. However, there were actually two people in front of him. The most surprising thing was that they were actually members of his clan. If any unforeseen events had occurred during the years that he had left the clan, the clan should have informed him. However, now …
"That group of old fellows. They actually did not inform me beforehand when something happened. Just wait and see how I will deal with all of you when I return."
The old man curled his lips and cursed quietly. Soon after, his eyes once again looked at the two people in front of him. With a flip of his hand, two medicinal pills immediately appeared in his palm. Before the two of them could do anything, he forcefully fed them one pill each.
The medicinal pills melted the moment they entered their mouths. Surging medicinal strength immediately surged into the bodies of Xiao Yan and Ma Fu like a river. While they were shocked, they were surprised to discover that the medicinal pills that the old man had fed them were swiftly healing the injuries in their bodies at a speed visible to the naked eye. Their pale faces also gradually regained their rosy complexion under the effects of the medicinal pills.
"This medicinal pill … what powerful medicinal strength!"
Even with Xiao Yan's character, his eyes involuntarily revealed a shocked expression when he sensed the strength contained within the medicinal pill. The medicinal pill that the old man had helped him consume was likely the strongest medicinal pill that he had ever seen. Even if a tier 5 medicinal pill was compared with it, it was likely that there was still a great gap between them!
"Cough cough … Senior, may I know who you are? These two are people that our Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect's Sect Master wants to kill. I hope that senior will not interfere."
Right at this moment, Yue Fu who'd been blasted flying forced his body to crawl up slowly. Even though he was heavily injured, he still hoped to deter this mysterious expert with the name of the Myriad Scorpion Sect. He believed that with the support of the Myriad Scorpion Sect, the old man would at least give him some face. After all, the Myriad Scorpion Sect was one of the three great sects of the southern territory!
"Oh? The Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect. When this old man passed by last time, I seemed to have caught a glimpse of it. Your sect master is from the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast Clan, right? "
Hearing this, the old man frowned and pondered for a while. Only then did he chuckle with a carefree expression.
"Senior actually knows that our Sect Master is from the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast Clan. Since that is the case, you should also know what kind of revered status the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beasts possess in the Magical Beast World. Therefore …"
"So your Sect Master is nothing …"
Before Yue Fu could finish speaking, the old man spoke with a face of disdain. The words he spat out caused Yue Fu's expression to instantly become ugly.
"Hmph hmph, the Sect Master of the Myriad Scorpion Sect is merely an abandoned pawn of the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast Clan. If it was a member of the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast Clan, these words might be useful. However, you are not worthy."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man turned his hand and slapped down. Soon after, Yue Fu and the other two people beside him who were also seriously injured were instantly smashed into meat paste. His gaze once again returned to the two people in front of him.
"Alright, since this old man has already helped you deal with the problem and consumed my medicinal pills, you can tell me now. Who is Xiao Yan?"
After witnessing the terrifying strength that the old man had just displayed, the two of them naturally did not dare to play any tricks at this moment. Although they did not know who the old man was, since things had already come to this point, there was indeed no need to hide anything. Moreover, after the old man appeared, he could vaguely sense an inexplicable sense of familiarity from the old man. That feeling made him unconsciously feel a trace of closeness to the old man. Therefore, there was no need to hide anything when speaking.
"Junior is Xiao Yan. May I ask what senior wants?"
The old man could not help but pause when he heard Xiao Yan's words. He became rather surprised. He had heard about Xiao Yan's shocking battle achievements everywhere before. Now that he saw the two of them again, he felt that Xiao Yan should be an Origin King at the very least. He had never thought that he would be a Returnance brat.
"You're Xiao Yan, then …"
"Junior is Xiao Xuan."
"You really are surnamed Xiao, but why is that?"
Since the two people in front of him were surnamed Xiao, the clan did not respond. This inevitably caused him to be a little surprised. However, when Xiao Yan and Xiao Yan heard the words that were spat out from the old man's mouth, their faces also revealed a suspicious expression. Having the same surname did not seem to be anything to be surprised about. Moreover, the two of them were grandfather and grandson. If their surname was not Xiao, could it be that they had another surname?
"Whatever. Since you're both surnamed Xiao, come with me. There's someone waiting for you."
The old man could not be bothered to think about it anymore. He shook his head and waved his hand. An invisible force immediately lifted up the two of them, and he was about to leave.
Xiao Yan and Xiao Yan immediately became flustered when they saw this. Regardless of whether the old man was good or bad, they were unable to accept him taking them away for no reason.
"Senior, may I ask who you are and why …"
"Hehe, have you heard of the Xiao clan in the central region?"
Before the words from Xiao Yan's mouth sounded, the old man suddenly laughed. His face was filled with arrogance as he asked Xiao Yan a question. The expression on his face was as though he was boasting about his most prized treasure.
Xiao Yan and Luo Jin were startled when they heard these words. After which, they shook their heads in confusion. They had never heard of the Xiao clan ever since they had arrived in the Yuanwu Continent. Even Luo Jin had never mentioned it to him. How would he understand when this old man suddenly mentioned it?
"It's fine if you don't know. I'm Xiao Mingyuan, an elder of the Xiao clan. I've been ordered by the first elder to bring you back to the clan. After so many years, I've finally found you. If you still don't understand, then obediently return with me. You'll naturally understand when you return."
After speaking, Xiao Mingyuan gently tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and was about to leave.
"Senior, please forgive me for not being able to return with you."
In the next moment, Xiao Yan frowned. The aura within his body was instantly released, and he broke free from Xiao Mingyuan's control. He hurriedly retreated. To the side, Xiao Xuan also hurriedly used the power of the Great Path and retreated with Xiao Yan. No matter what, he would choose to stand in Xiao Yan's position, regardless of who the other party was or what status they had.
"Kid, do you not believe in me?"
Xiao Mingyuan frowned. He would naturally be able to understand if Xiao Yan did not believe him. However, Xiao Yan dared to resist his strength in front of him. This clearly indicated the other party's determination. Xiao Yan was determined not to leave with him.
"It's not that I don't believe in you, senior. However, I can't leave with you. I hope you can understand!"
Xiao Yan's expression was solemn as he cupped his hands to Xiao Mingyuan. His attitude was respectful. It was impossible to say if he did not believe Xiao Mingyuan's words. If Xiao Mingyuan really had the intention to harm him, Xiao Yan would not be able to resist with his strength. However, if it was really as Xiao Mingyuan had said and Xiao Mingyuan really wanted to bring him back to the Xiao clan, Xiao Mingyuan would more or less give Xiao Yan some respect. Otherwise, it was fine if he did not return to the so-called Xiao clan.
"You … if you don't return with me, how can I report to my superiors? Moreover, even if you don't return with me, there should be a reason. A reason!"
Xiao Yan's attitude caused Xiao Mingyuan to hesitate. He was not a fool. The clan valued the person in front of him very much. Back then, he had used the Sacred Blood Crystal to see clearly that a god-tier bloodline was something that could affect the fate of the entire Xiao clan. If he caused Xiao Yan or Xiao Xuan to feel conflicted about the Xiao clan, wouldn't everything he had done be in vain?
"I still have a very important person waiting for my news. Therefore, I must return. I hope you can fulfill my wish."
The person that Xiao Yan was talking about was naturally the Little Fairy Doctor. The latter had been unwilling to part from the Burning Flame Valley this time around. Before they parted, the two of them had already agreed that they would meet up with her at the Burning Flame Valley. Now, however … he could not go against his agreement with the Little Fairy Doctor because of a clan that he was still unclear about.
Xiao Mingyuan could not help but chuckle when he sensed the complicated expression in Xiao Yan's eyes.
"It seems that you are a sentimental person. I can promise you, but …"
Before Xiao Yan could reveal a joyous expression, Xiao Mingyuan opened his mouth once again. He looked at Xiao Xuan and said,
"It's fine if you don't return with me, but the one called Xiao Xuan, you must return with me. Otherwise, who will I report to if both of you leave … Listen well, there's no room for discussion. One of you must return with me!"
Xiao Mingyuan's last sentence had interrupted the final thoughts of the two of them. Xiao Yan was naturally dissatisfied with this. He hesitated for a moment. Before he could open his mouth, Xiao Xuan by his side pursed his mouth and smiled. His hand gently patted Xiao Yan's shoulder in a comforting manner. He took two steps forward, bowed respectfully to Xiao Mingyuan, and said, "Xiao Mingyuan,
"Since that's the case, junior will follow senior back."
"Ancestor …"
Xiao Yan by the side immediately revealed a reluctant expression when these words were uttered. The two of them had accompanied each other for such a long time. Now that Xiao Yan had finally recovered his physical body, he was going to leave him in such a manner. This really caused Xiao Yan to be unable to bear it.
"Haha, there's no need to worry. It's not like we are going to some dragon's lair or tiger's den. At the very most, we will meet again when you reach the Middle Region in the future."
"Haha, that's right. Little fellow, you must come to the Middle Region in the future. Although this continent is large, you will only be able to see the true experts of this continent when you reach the Middle Region. If you really want to compare, the so-called three sects of the Southern Region are merely third rate factions in the Middle Region. Hahahaha!"
Xiao Yan nodded with a hesitant expression when he heard this. If he had to make such a choice, he must go to the Xiao clan in the Middle Region in the future.
