An amiable laughter slowly sounded. The forward footsteps of Xiao Yan's group also paused. The few of them exchanged glances with each other. Immediately, their gazes once again returned to the old man in front of them.
The old man had a head full of grayish-white hair. His face was rosy and plump. There was a tuft of beard on his chin. His somewhat shriveled hand was slowly stroking it. A pair of turbid old eyes were currently smiling as he stared at the group of people in front of him. This was especially the case when his gaze landed on Xiao Yan. The smile in his eyes became even denser.
Seeing the old man in front of him like this, Xiao Yan also knew that the old man must know his identity. Otherwise, he would not have such an expression. Without much hesitation, he was secretly on guard. He carefully cupped his hands toward the old man in front of him and said,
"I am Xiao Yan. May I know what is the matter?"
Sensing the change in Xiao Yan's aura, the old man nodded with a kind smile and said, "Don't be nervous.
"Mister, there is no need to be nervous. No one in Dong Hua City can touch you, and I am no exception."
As soon as the old man said this, Xiao Yan was stunned. However, before he could think about why, the old man in front of him continued to speak, "I am Zhang Li.
I am the manager of the Yunyin Pavilion in Donghua City. It is my Pavilion Master who ordered me to wait for you here. Before he left, he repeatedly reminded me that if Mr. Xiao Yan comes here, I must treat you well. If anyone dares to make things difficult for you, no matter who it is, they will not appear in Donghua City in the future. Therefore, in Donghua City, Mr. Xiao Yan can rest assured. "
The old man laughed softly as he made an inviting gesture toward Xiao Yan. Only then did the latter come to a sudden understanding. No wonder this old man was able to recognize him at a glance. It was actually something done by Luo Jin. Moreover, from the words of Zhang Li earlier, it appeared that the strength of the Hidden Cloud Pavilion in this area was much greater than he had imagined!
"Elder, you are too polite!"
Returning to his senses, Xiao Yan hurriedly cupped his hands towards the old man in front of him. Only then did he lead the few people behind him towards a certain place in the center of the city under Zhang Li's lead.
"Although Donghua City is nominally under the control of the Hidden Cloud Pavilion, it still belongs to the Southern Region. Other than managing some trivial matters, most of the resources and shops in the city still belong to the forces of the Southern Region. Don't underestimate them. On the surface, they seem to be shops opened by ordinary Kings, but behind them, there are even more powerful forces supporting them," Ye Futian said.
While the few of them were curiously observing the surrounding shops, Zhang Li's somewhat cautious voice was spat out. Hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded his head in understanding. Dong Hua City was one of the most important cities in the extreme south. How could an ordinary faction be able to establish a shop here and be able to live in such a stable manner?
"Senior, you're talking about the Origin Emperor, right?"
Xiao Yan smiled. Those who could set up a force here were naturally Origin Emperors.
"Haha, Mister Xiao Yan, that's hard to say. The Southern Region is vast but sparsely populated. There are countless experts who have yet to appear. What you've seen is only the surface of the Southern Region."
The expression in Xiao Yan's eyes immediately hardened when these words were uttered. He naturally understood the meaning behind the old man's words. This was just like the Mysterious Valley of the Qin Wasteland back in the western region. On the surface, it was indeed the largest faction in the western region. However, the one who could truly be called the dragon head was the Murong clan located in the western region of the Western Wasteland or the Blood Flame Bird tribe in the fire maple forest in the extreme south. Until now, Xiao Yan had only seen the tribe head of the Blood Flame Bird tribe, Zhu Hao, and his son, Zhu Can. The size of their entire tribe was naturally unimaginable.
The continent was very large, and there were many hidden dragons and crouching tigers. This was also why one had to be careful when walking on the continent. There was no absolute power on this continent.
A moment later, the group of people appeared in a pavilion. In the hall, after the few of them took their seats, Zhang Li walked in front of them, cupped his hands, and said slowly, "Senior Brother Zhang Li, I'm sorry.
He slowly said, "I wonder if you know anything about my Yunyin Pavilion or the central region?"
The few people seated shook their heads when these words were uttered. This was the first time that they had headed to the Middle Region of the continent. Who would know just what kind of scenery it was? As for the Hidden Cloud Pavilion, even Xiao Yan knew that it was a faction that belonged to the Middle Region. He did not know just where it came from.
Zhang Li softly acknowledged when he saw everyone shake their heads. It was as if he was not surprised by this result. After which, he continued to speak.
"Before the pavilion chief left, he specially instructed the old me to inform everyone clearly if they were to come here. The Middle Region is different from the borders of the continent. The factions there are more complicated. At the same time, it is also more dangerous. Mister Xiao Yan needs to pay attention to some of the stronger factions in the Middle Region."
"The division of the factions in the central region is different from other regions. Other than some powerful Magical Beast clans, the human factions are led by the Pill Tower, followed by the Tianyuan Sect and the Ghost Gate. There are also the three great clans, the Xiao clan, the Bai clan and the Ouyang clan. Finally, there are the other four great factions led by the Cloud Immortal Sect. The Ghost Temple Sect is also one of them. The Heavenly Cloud Villa, where my Cloud Immortal Sect is located, is one of them. The other faction is called the Du E Sect. I believe that mister Xiao Yan will come into contact with them in the future."
Zhang Li's gaze involuntarily landed on the Little Fairy Doctor and Lian 'er when he finished speaking. With his eyesight, he was naturally able to see the difference between the two women.
Xiao Yan's expression changed when he heard about the Xiao clan. He did not expect the Xiao clan to be one of the super factions in the central region. However, it was also because of this that Xiao Yan could not help but worry about Xiao Xuan's current situation. The latter had yet to obtain the complete third scroll of the Origin Returning Art, and his cultivation would definitely be affected. It was likely that he would not be able to avoid trouble in the Xiao clan.
A chilly glint flashed across Xiao Yan's eyes when he thought of this. It was fine if Xiao Xuan was fine. However, if he were to head to the Xiao clan and see Xiao Xuan being treated coldly by others, it was fine if he did not want this so-called clan.
As this thought flashed across his mind, Xiao Yan finally recovered. Zhang Li also opened his mouth once again.
"Although most of these factions hold their own, mister Xiao Yan should pay special attention to the Ghost Temple Sect and the Cloud Celestial Sect. On the surface, these two factions are indeed as famous as the Heavenly Cloud Villa and the Du E Sect. However, they are actually branches of the Heavenly Origin Sect and the Ghost Gate. The two factions are wary of each other and have been in conflict for many years. They are scattered across the borders of the continent. It was only in recent years that the Ghost Temple Sect gradually gathered its forces and withdrew from the borders of the continent. Although this is the case, mister Xiao Yan should be extremely careful if you encounter them in the future."
Xiao Yan could not help but nod his head solemnly when he heard this. He naturally knew the reason why the Ghost Hall gathered its forces better than anyone else. However, he did not expect that the first thing he would face when he was about to step into the central region would be the Ghost Temple Sect. As for the so-called Ghost Gate, it was likely that it was an even more terrifying existence!
"In addition, the pavilion master specially instructed before he left that if mister Xiao Yan encounters any trouble that he cannot resolve, he can come to the Heavenly Cloud Villa. The pavilion master will definitely do his best to help!"
