The moon was like a silver plate, and the sky was filled with stars.
By the time Xiao Yan and his group left the auction house, more than a few hours had passed. Shuyang City, which was bustling during the day, was a little empty at this time. Even so, many lights could still be seen in the city, and some streets were still bustling as usual.
Xiao Yan stood under the cunning moonlight, looking at the countless stars above his head, and hesitated for a long time.
He did not expect that even with the joint efforts of Ouyang Miao and the Annan Clan, the Thousand Sealing Ruler would still fall into Zhao Jin's hands. One thousand high-grade Spirit Stones was indeed a terrifying number.
"Are you still thinking about what happened just now?"
Ouyang Miao walked up from behind and patted Xiao Yan's shoulder to comfort him.
The latter shook his head and smiled bitterly. What could he do now? The Thousand Sealing Ruler was already in Zhao Jin's pocket. He could not snatch it away. Even if he wanted to, he did not have the strength to do so.
"Why don't … we go and intercept him? We have more people, and with Fan Jian, we might be able to snatch it away."
Ouyang Miao's eyes flashed as he stared at Xiao Yan.
Fan Jian raised his eyebrows and looked at Ouyang Miao with a strange expression. Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "This is my own business.
Even if I want to take action, I should be the one to do it. Besides, you are from the Ouyang Clan. If you take action against Zhao Jin here, the situation will be disadvantageous to you. Let's not do it. "
"What should we do now?"
Ouyang Miao nodded slightly, and then said softly, "Let's go back.
There is no need to stay here any longer. Brother Ouyang, are you willing to go to the Xiao Clan with me? "
Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, and then looked at Ouyang Miao. Ouyang Miao was slightly stunned. He paused for a moment, and then shook his head and laughed.
"I think it's better to forget about it. The three major clans have their own conflicts. Even with you leading the way, the elders of the Xiao Clan will never allow me to enter the Xiao Clan. Moreover, this will only bring you trouble. Since you are going back to the clan, I should return as well. If there's a chance, let's meet again."
Saying this, Xiao Yan cupped his fists towards Xiao Yan and the others in front of him. Xiao Yan and the others smiled back. Then, under the moonlight, the two turned around and walked towards the other end of the street. When the two had walked for nearly a hundred feet, Xiao Yan suddenly shouted from behind.
"Brother Ouyang, what you said before was also a test. If I asked you to attack me for my own selfish desires, how would you treat me?"
In the distance, Ouyang Miao's figure suddenly stopped and turned around. No one could see his face at this moment.
"Brother Xiao, you only need to remember that from today onwards, you and I are as close as brothers. If the Xiao Clan is unable to keep you, I will not go back on my words!"
Ouyang Miao ceased hesitating after his words sounded. He moved his body and swiftly disappeared from the end of the street with Fan Jian beside him. Xiao Yan stood quietly in the same spot. An Nan by his side was stunned at this moment. Anyone with eyes would be able to understand the meaning behind Ouyang Miao's words. He did not expect that the person in front of him was someone who even the Ouyang clan thought so highly of. Today's trip could be said to have been worth it!
After sending off Ouyang Miao, Xiao Yan's group quickly parted ways with the An Clan. Although the latter wanted to invite Xiao Yan to their residence as a guest, Xiao Yan knew that Xiao Xuan was definitely still waiting for news from them. Hence, he rejected the invitation.
When the three of them arrived at the arched door in front of the Xiao Clan, they unexpectedly met Xiao Tian, who had also rushed back. When the two of them met, their expressions were naturally ugly. However, just as Xiao Tian took a step into the arched door, his voice was unhurriedly transmitted into Xiao Yan's ears.
"I advise you to be mentally prepared."
Xiao Yan and Bai Hua looked at each other when they heard this. They frowned in surprise, but did not think any further. They quickly passed through the arched door and hurried back to their residence.
When the few of them returned to the pavilion, Xiao Xuan was indeed still waiting for them in the hall. Xiao Xuan immediately revealed a smile when he saw Xiao Yan's group return. He stood up and welcomed them.
"How was the result?"
"It can be considered smooth."
Xiao Yan smiled. After the few of them had taken their seats, he roughly explained everything that had happened during the day. Xiao Xuan nodded repeatedly when he heard this. Although it was not difficult for him to hear some danger from Xiao Yan's words, it was fortunate that they had returned safely and successfully. They had even brought back the Meru Grass. This caused him to feel extremely joyous in his heart. "Haha, it's good that everything is fine.
It is unexpected that the 'God Seal Skill' that shook the Gu clan back then would actually reappear on this continent. Moreover, its strength is even greater than before. It is also a great blessing for you to be able to obtain it. You must hold on to it properly. As for that Dou Technique, there are always gains and losses in everything. Since you are unable to obtain it, just let it be. There is no need to mind it. "
Xiao Xuan placed the teacup in his hand down and smiled as he spoke.
Xiao Yan nodded. After which, he mentioned that he had met the Yunyin Pavilion in Shu Yang City. Even until now, he still did not understand why the Yunyin Pavilion was able to have a place under the rule of the Xiao clan if the Ouyang clan, which was also one of the three great clans, was so cautious when it came to ordinary visitors.
The Yunyin Pavilion is a clan faction that was established by the Heavenly Cloud Villa. Given the position of the Heavenly Cloud Villa on the continent, under normal circumstances, the Xiao clan would definitely not allow them to place a faction under their rule. However, you should also know that the Heavenly Cloud Villa possesses the richest formation master resources in the entire continent. Regardless of whether it is an array disc, related ancient scrolls, or even some unique Secret Techniques, as long as they have these things as the price, there will naturally be no one who will stop them. On the contrary, the Yunyin Pavilion's faction will be protected by the Xiao clan to a certain extent. Even the Zhao clan that you met today would not be able to easily touch them. "
Xiao Yan came to a sudden understanding when he heard this. Xiao Xuan smiled and continued.
"This does not only include the Yunyin Pavilion but also some other factions. If they wish to take root in the territory of the Xiao clan, they must pay a corresponding price. Moreover, this is not only limited to the Xiao clan. The three great clans, the two great sects, and even the Pill Tower will do the same. Their goal is to absorb the advantages of other factions and continuously strengthen themselves in order to maintain their superior position. As for other things, you will have to discover and experience them yourself."
Xiao Yan could not help but inhale a deep breath after hearing this. Although he had once established a faction on the Dou Qi continent, he had never come into contact with such matters. Now that he heard Xiao Xuan's words, he finally understood that there were actually so many complicated relationships between these so-called super factions.
