Xiao Yan and Qin Yan walked out of the auction ground one after another after the auction ended. The corner of Xiao Yan's mouth was involuntarily lifted into a cold smile when he saw Bai Zijing swiftly flying past in the sky above his head and the many experts who were staring at him from all over the sky. This Bai Zijing was indeed bold and arrogant. He had forcefully obtained the map of the Limestone Valley in front of so many experts. However, it was likely that his future path would not be so easy!
"Eh?"
Just as the two of them were walking along the street, Xiao Yan's eyebrows suddenly furrowed slightly. He exchanged a look with Qin Yan beside him, before glancing back from the corner of his eye. There seemed to be a few obscure gazes staring at them from a dark corner of the auction house. With his outstanding Spiritual Perception, Xiao Yan clearly discovered that there were a few powerful auras secretly following them from the other side of the buildings around them.
"This Lava Castle is truly vicious!"
Qin Yan also seemed to have sensed something as he muttered to himself, while his gaze swept behind him.
"Looks like they do not intend to be pure merchants."
Xiao Yan laughed coldly. The moment he raised his eyes, an icy-cold killing intent appeared in them. His foot, which he had taken a step forward, suddenly landed on the ground. A ferocious aura immediately swept out from his body. In an instant, the expressions of the experts from the Lava Castle, who were hidden in the dark, changed.
"If there is anyone who is not afraid of death, feel free to follow."
Xiao Yan's gaze swept towards a certain shadowy corner of the building beside him. His gaze was filled with cold murderous intent, causing a chill to rise in the hearts of the people in the dark. Soon after, the surrounding auras that were hidden in the dark swiftly scattered.
The Lava Castle had dominated the Flowing Fire Plains for many years, and naturally knew who they could not afford to offend. Although from the aura just now, this unknown brat only had the cultivation of a four star Origin Ancestor, the murderous aura from his body was definitely not something that an ordinary person possessed. It was something that had been obtained through countless bloody battles, where he had risked his life in exchange for it. This kind of person was the kind that could not be offended!
After getting rid of these troubles, the two of them walked out of the Lava Castle. The Fire Banyan Ruins were located in the deepest part of the plains, and even the Lava Castle was only close to it. If they really wanted to reach the entrance of the Fire Banyan Ruins, it would likely take about a month's journey.
After exiting the Lava Castle, Xiao Yan and Qin Yan stood in the air above a mountain forest.
"I'm afraid that we will have to split up for the rest of the journey. Brother Qin, let's part ways here. If there is a chance, let's meet at the Fire Banyan Ruins."
Xiao Yan cupped his fist towards Qin Yan as he slowly smiled Qin Yan.
Upon hearing this, the latter could not help but be a puzzled.
"Brother, are you going alone?"
"I still have some matters to settle. Before that, it is inconvenient for me to travel with you."
Xiao Yan's pair of pitch-black eyes were like an ancient well without ripples. Although Qin Yan was a little surprised, he still nodded heavily after hesitating for a moment. They were not going to travel together on the Flowing Fire Plains. Moreover, Xiao Yan had saved him halfway. At this moment, if he continued to delay, it was likely that he had the intention of deliberately pestering him. Hence, he did not say anything more. The two of them cupped their hands together, and Qin Yan left first after expressing his thanks.
After watching Qin Yan disappear from his sight for a long time, Xiao Yan's eyebrows turned. His dense gaze glanced at the mountain forest behind him, and a chill surged in his eyes. Immediately, his body moved and he hurriedly rushed in another direction. Not long after, a few sonic booms sounded in the mountain forest below.
Three figures stood in the sky and looked in the direction that Xiao Yan had left. They muttered to each other and quickly chased after him.
Xiao clan.
Outside Xiao City.
In the distant horizon, three figures stood there.
Beside Xiao Xuan, a tall and well-built middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back. His eyes were like swords as he stared at the imposing Ouyang Yu opposite him.
"Junior Xiao Xuan greets Second Elder!"
Xiao Xuan respectfully bowed slightly to the person beside him. This person was the Second Elder of Xiao clan, Xiao Yitian, who had been in seclusion for many years in the Black Tower in Shuyang City!
The latter acted as if he did not hear Xiao Xuan's actions. A pair of sharp eyes pointed directly at Ouyang Yu. Immediately, Xiao Xuan cupped his hands together towards Ouyang Yu. The latter smiled warmly and his gaze returned to the middle-aged man opposite him.
"You have not come out for many years. Why can't you even speak?"
"Humph …"
Xiao Yitian snorted coldly. Only then did his gaze turn towards Xiao Xuan and said indifferently,
"You are now in charge of the cabinet. There is no need for this."
Hearing this, Xiao Xuan muttered to himself. His gaze shifted back and forth between the two.
He suddenly asked, "Seniors, do you still have the Heaven Questioning Pill?"
"Heaven Questioning Pill?"
Ouyang Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had thought of something. Immediately after, he shook his head and sighed.
"I did obtain one a few years ago, but I had already consumed it. Otherwise, I would not have my current cultivation. Speaking of which, I consumed it at the same time as this guy, but in the end, I was the first to become a Source Venerate."
"Uh …"
Hearing this, Xiao Xuan's heart skipped a beat. If that was the case, the two of them had already consumed the Heaven Questioning Pill. Just as he was lost in thought, Ouyang Yu suddenly waved his hand. A shadow flashed in front of him, and a one-meter long sword appeared in front of Xiao Xuan. Even Xiao Yitian, who was standing majestically to the side, could not help but be moved by this scene. Thinking back, if not for this sword, he might not have been defeated by Ouyang Yu.
"Also, this sword is for you."
"This is …"
"This sword is called Youlan …"
Before Ouyang Yu finished speaking, Xiao Xuan's eyebrows jumped. The Youlan Sword was the sword of the Ouyang family's Sword Saint Youlan. The Sword Saint had once used this sword to force back three Source Venerates without being defeated. Now, it had appeared in front of him.
"The Youlan Sword was once famous in the Central Region with me, but now, it is no longer suitable for me …"
Ouyang Yu sighed in a somewhat lonely tone. He then looked at Xiao Yitian and said in a serious tone, "I've come today.
Since I'm here today, it's time for us to settle this!
"Back then, I lost to you and went into seclusion for dozens of years. I wonder what the outcome of this battle will be?"
After a moment of tit for tat, the two of them were about to leave when Xiao Yitian suddenly turned his head to Xiao Xuan and said faintly,
"Xiao Xuan, if you have the chance, make a trip to the Northern Region of the Central Region. There is a sword tomb in the extreme north that might be of help to you."
Even Ouyang Yu nodded repeatedly when he heard this. Back then, the two of them had broken through to the Source Venerate level one after another there. After that battle, their names had shaken the Central Region …
Only after the two of them left did Xiao Xuan receive the Serene Orchid Sword in front of him with some disappointment. He could not help but be secretly surprised when he sensed the unrivalled sharpness of the sword. He had become famous in the central region. The Serene Orchid Sword was truly extraordinary.
When the auras of the two of them completely disappeared from this world, the calm space beside Xiao Xuan slowly distorted, and the first elder's figure appeared.
The first elder nodded slightly and looked at the distant horizon with a pair of turbid old eyes. He shook his head and said slowly, "Ah, this is the end of the world.
"Sigh … in the end, such a day will still come. There will definitely be losses on this trip."
Xiao Xuan nodded silently. No one could make a decision on this kind of matter. Even they could only quietly watch from afar.
"By the way, what Xiao Yitian said earlier was true. If you have the chance, make a trip to the Northern Region's sword tomb. I believe that it will be of great help to your strength and to consolidate your position in the clan in the future. At the same time, it will also be of great benefit to Xiao Yan."
The first elder reminded Xiao Xuan again after he came back to his senses.
The latter took a deep breath and thought of Xiao Yan in his heart. Then, he nodded heavily.
