As time swiftly flowed by, Xiao Yan had unknowingly disappeared from the Savage Ancient City for half a month.
Although Xiao Yan's concealment had stirred quite a great storm within the Wasteland, this storm merely lasted for less than half a month before it was gradually suppressed by the increasing number of Ban Di experts within the Ancient Wasteland City.
There would be new stories happening in the Ancient City every day. Even though Xiao Yan was a genius and his alchemy skills were unprecedented in the Ancient City, the stories of the Ancient City would not stop for Xiao Yan alone.
When some of the experts in the Ancient City noticed the group of Half-emperors swarming over, they could not help but be curious about who they were. However, they quickly reacted.
Apart from the Void Lightning Pool that only appeared once every hundred years, there was probably no other reason that could make so many Half-step Emperors swarm over here in the Ancient Savage City.
At this moment, some of the old people in the city who knew about this matter suddenly realized that there was only one and a half months left until the opening of the Lightning Pool. It was no wonder that these Half-step Emperors, who usually cultivated in seclusion, would all come to the Wildlands. If nothing major happened, they wouldn't be in the mood to come here.
It was already difficult for Half-emperors, especially high level Half-emperors, to increase their strength at their current level. It was somewhat unrealistic to rely on heavenly treasures that could increase a Half-emperor's strength.
After all, this was the border of the continent, a barren land. How could there be any exceptional cultivation resources? Even if there were, they would have been taken by the powerful Magical Beasts long ago. How could it be so easy to snatch them from their hands?
Rather than looking for trouble, it was better to cultivate peacefully. In comparison, this was the right way to go.
But now, the Void Lightning Pool was an anomaly among the numerous cultivation resources.
…
In a short few days, almost a hundred Half-emperors had appeared in the Ancient City. Such a huge lineup could be considered extremely powerful even in the entire southern region.
Almost a hundred Half-emperors had gathered in the Ancient City. For a time, the entire Ancient City became extraordinarily lively. Everyone had naturally forgotten about the genius Xiao Yan.
However, as more and more Half-emperors appeared in the bustling Ancient City, trouble arose in the Ancient City.
The strength of a Half-step Emperor was naturally undeniable. If two Half-step Emperors were to fight each other, it would be very difficult to determine the outcome of the battle. Thus, generally speaking, even if there were conflicts between Half-step Emperors, they would try their best to avoid fighting each other.
However, even though they were all Half-emperors and were usually apprehensive of each other, the situation was different now.
The opening of the Void Lightning Pool was getting closer and closer. However, there were only a total of 30 Lightning Pool Invitations.
As the saying goes, there are too many monks and too little gruel. Currently, there were nearly a hundred Half-martial Emperors in the Ancient Savage City. However, less than a third of them would be able to enter the Lightning Pool in the end.
This result would cause most of the Half-emperors to have wasted their trip.
However, Half-emperors were Half-emperors. Which one of them did not have any pride in their hearts after reaching this level of cultivation?
They had painstakingly made this trip for the sake of obtaining a Lightning Pool Invitation. However, in the end, they had come for nothing. This was something that they could not accept. Thus, even if they were unable to enter the Void Lightning Pool, these Half-emperors would definitely not be willing to be spectators.
As a result, the continuous battle in the Savage Ancient City officially unfolded in the void.
This was not only for the sake of obtaining the qualifications to enter the Void Lightning Pool, it was also to display the results of their cultivation. It could be considered as a form of showing off, a different kind of competition.
…
President Gu Li and Chi Lin stood in the inner courtyard of the Alchemist Guild. The two of them raised their heads and looked at the battle in the sky where Dou Qi surged. They could not help but sigh softly.
"Ugh … where exactly did that brat Yan Xiao go … the Void Lightning Pool is about to open but he just had to go missing at this time …"
Gu Li could not help but shake his head when he thought of Xiao Yan. He was also very curious about Xiao Yan's whereabouts.
After Xiao Yan left the Alchemist Association that day, he appeared to have completely disappeared from the face of the earth. Not even a trace of his aura was left behind. This appeared incomparably strange.
Chi Lin also frowned slightly when he heard this. He was extremely worried for Xiao Yan. He hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth to speak.
"Gu Li, do you think that Yan Xiao would have been … by Mo Di?"
Before he finished speaking, Gu Li waved his hand gently and shook his head once again. He said,
"Impossible. Back then, Zhou Tai was still in the Ancient City and they had fled miserably. They clearly knew how powerful Zhou Tai was and would definitely not rashly attack Yan Xiao. Yan Bing was very clear about this point. Once he was discovered, even he would not be able to bear the consequences! "
"Now, all we can do is to wait and see. Perhaps, while we are worried about Yan Xiao, he might be sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger from afar."
Gu Li's old eyes narrowed as he pondered in his heart. He once again looked at the increasingly fiery battle circle in the sky and quietly said in his heart.
"After all, wasn't he also like this the last time …"
…
Ginseng Spirit World
On the mountain peak, Xiao Yan, who was cultivating with his eyes closed, raised his eyebrows slightly. His eyelids trembled slightly as he exited his cultivation state. He turned his head and saw Old Luo's figure slowly walking over from a short distance behind him. Luo Jin, who was following beside him, had already left the Ginseng Spirit World.
Xiao Yan swiftly stood up and respectfully bowed when he saw the person who had arrived.
Although he was already familiar with Old Luo, an elder was still an elder and a senior was still a senior. In terms of etiquette, Xiao Yan would rarely be inferior to others. Of course, that was built on the basis of mutual respect between both parties. If others did not offend him, he would not offend them. If you respect me, I will return you ten times over. This was Xiao Yan's principle all along.
Old Luo smiled and nodded as a return of the greeting. Compared to Xiao Yan, Old Luo was extremely casual. Etiquette was just a superficial act to him. However, he was quite satisfied with Xiao Yan's attitude.
"Haha, if there is nothing else, this old man will not bother to disturb your cultivation. However, I'm afraid that you will have to leave now."
Old Luo walked in front of Xiao Yan and said with a smile.
"Uh …?"
Hearing Old Luo's words, Xiao Yan was immediately stunned. Did these words mean that he wanted to chase him away? However, Old Luo was not that kind of person. Could it be that he was from the Ginseng Spirit Race?
Xiao Yan frowned and did not know what to think. He even suspected that the person was from the Ginseng Spirit Tribe.
"Haha, don't think too much. The Ginseng Spirit Tribe is not an ungrateful tribe. The reason why I want you to leave is that someone has come looking for you. If I'm not mistaken, that person should be looking for you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and could not help but be slightly surprised. Looking for him? Outside of the Ginseng Spirit Tribe, Xiao Yan had never mentioned to anyone that he had come to the Ginseng Spirit World. How could anyone know that he was here?
However, judging from the smile on Old Luo's face, the person who was looking for him should not be looking for trouble. In that case, he might as well ask him how he knew that he was here.
