"Hum hum …"
As a circular invisible energy ripple spread apart, a delicate and handsome young man wearing a black robe slowly walked out from a small courtyard in the southern part of the city, which appeared to be extremely dilapidated.
At this moment, a figure was pacing back and forth in front of the entrance of the courtyard. He was hesitating whether he should enter or not.
Everyone in the Wildlands knew that this small courtyard was the residence of the expert called Elder Luo. Today, he had come here to confirm the guess in his heart.
Yan Xiao had been missing for half a month. During this half a month, the power structure in the Wildlands Ancient City had been constantly changing. Half-martial Emperors had gathered in the Wildlands, causing the strength of the Half-martial Emperors in the Wildlands Ancient City to continuously increase. Normally, a three star Half-martial Emperor would be able to control a force. However, at this moment, they were insignificant among the Half-martial Emperors.
At this moment, an unknown person had spread the news that besides Yan Xiao, who had already disappeared, there was actually a three star Half-martial Emperor in the Wildlands Ancient City who possessed the Void Lightning Pool Invitation!
When this news spread, the Half-martial Emperors in the Wildlands Ancient City instantly went crazy. Their bloody eyes, which were filled with greed, scanned every three star Half-martial Emperor. It was as if they wanted to see through their bones.
Coincidentally, just as everyone was searching for that three star Half-martial Emperor, the news that came from an unknown place had once again spread wildly. This time, everyone's gazes were focused on Qin Zhong, who was familiar with Xiao Yan!
That's right. At this moment, the person standing in front of the small courtyard was Qin Zhong!
Currently, the Void Lightning Pool Invitation was like a hot potato. Whoever obtained it would become the target of everyone. Other than those high level Half-martial Emperors, the only person in the Wildlands Ancient City that everyone knew was Qin Zhong, who possessed the Void Lightning Pool Invitation.
Therefore, in the past few days, the entire Wildlands Ancient City had been in an uproar because of Qin Zhong. All those below seven star Half-martial Emperors were frantically searching for Qin Zhong. If Qin Zhong did not know his own limits and knew that it was difficult for him to protect the Void Lightning Pool Invitation with his current strength, he would have hidden himself long ago before the news spread. Otherwise, he would not have the chance to appear here.
Standing outside the entryway, Qin Zhong was full of hesitation. There was both hope and worry in his heart.
In fact, Qin Zhong did not know that Xiao Yan was at Elder Luo's place. This time, he was only trying his luck. He hoped to find Xiao Yan, but he did not want Xiao Yan to be his protector.
Before this, Qin Zhong had secretly gone to the Alchemist Guild. He was now the target of public criticism. Everyone wanted to get the Void Lightning Pool Invitation from him. Naturally, they had to be careful. Even the elders of the Alchemist Guild had to be on guard.
After seeing Gu Li and Chi Lin, the two of them naturally knew about the relationship between Qin Zhong and Xiao Yan. Therefore, the two of them gave an honest answer regarding Xiao Yan's whereabouts. Although the answer was not satisfactory, Qin Zhong knew that they would not lie to him.
After leaving the Alchemist Guild, the first place that Qin Zhong thought of was naturally what most people thought. Xiao Yan must be at the Yunyin Pavilion. After all, everyone in the Ancient Wilderness City saw that Elder Xuan stood up for Xiao Yan on behalf of the Yunyin Pavilion that day.
However, on second thought, Qin Zhong frowned. The Yunyin Pavilion was bustling with business all day long, and there was no lack of Half-emperor experts. If he went in, wouldn't he be walking into a trap?
Although the Yunyin Pavilion had strict rules and absolutely prohibited fighting in it, even if his whereabouts were exposed, it would be a devastating blow to Qin Zhong.
He was not at the Alchemist Guild, nor could he enter the Yunyin Pavilion, nor could he leave the Ancient Wilderness City. Other than that, the only place that Xiao Yan could go was this quiet, dilapidated courtyard.
Currently, this was the only place in the city that had any contact with Xiao Yan that ordinary people would not think of or dare to look for.
Outside the entrance, Qin Zhong looked at the small courtyard in front of him nervously. Compared to looking for Xiao Yan, Elder Luo, who was in the courtyard, made him more nervous.
Under such circumstances, the more hesitant a person was, the more nervous they would be. Ever since Qin Zhong had arrived, he had been standing in front of the entrance for nearly two hours. Needless to say, he was very nervous. At the moment, even his normal breathing had become rapid, and there was a trace of cold sweat on his forehead.
In the courtyard, Xiao Yan came out of the ginseng spiritual world. His enormous soul power allowed him to immediately detect the person standing outside the entrance.
"Huh? I didn't expect it to be him … It seems like he came here with the intention of giving it a try. Is it because of Elder Luo that he hasn't come in yet … "
Xiao Yan muttered under his breath and shook his head with a smile. Elder Luo's deterrence in the Ancient Wilderness City was really terrifying. With Qin Zhong's strength as a Three-star Half-Martial Emperor, he could be considered an expert in the Ancient Wilderness City. Now that he had revealed such an appearance, it really made people sigh.
Xiao Yan lifted his feet and walked towards the outer courtyard. The wooden door between the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard was closed. Therefore, Qin Zhong could not see Xiao Yan. Moreover, this small courtyard was enveloped by Elder Luo's aura. It was even more impossible to investigate.
"Haha, what a coincidence. Isn't this the Qin Clan's ancestor? Why? You have nowhere to hide from those Half-Martial Emperors, so you came here to seek protection from Elder Luo? Oh right, that Yan Xiao is somewhat related to Elder Luo. However, Elder Luo is helping Yan Xiao … not you. "
Just as Xiao Yan arrived in front of the wooden door and was about to open it and leave, Qin Zhong, who was outside the entrance, looked behind him with a surprised expression. There, an old man with a gloomy face was slowly walking over.
Looking at the old man's aura, it was actually several times stronger than Qin Zhong's. He was obviously a Six-star Half-Martial Emperor expert!
When Xiao Yan heard that voice, he couldn't help but frown slightly. The hand that he was about to raise slowly lowered once again. Immediately after, the corners of his mouth curled up into a sneer. His soul power spread out and observed the situation outside the entrance.
"Hmph! If I'm not wrong, the news that the Void Lightning Pool is attached to my body was spread by you! Li Gan! "
Qin Zhong narrowed his eyes and ignored Li Gan's words. He stared at the figure that was slowly walking away and berated angrily.
The person who had arrived was the ancestor of the Li clan from the Ancient City of Wildlands, Li Gan!
"Ke ke … brother Qin Zhong, you can't put it this way. The Void Lightning Pool Invitation is something that can be obtained by those who are capable. It is ultimately useless for someone like you to hide. When the time is right, the lightning invitation in your hands will inevitably be snatched away. My actions are merely to let you know your own limits …"
Li Gan did not deny Qin Zhong's furious rebuke. His footsteps did not pause as he spoke and walked directly toward Qin Zhong.
"You have already expected that I would come here!"
Qin Zhong's face carried a cautious expression as he spoke angrily. The Dou Qi within his body had already spread throughout his entire body. He was prepared to deal with Li Gan at any moment.
"Ke ke, after all, the only person you can rely on in this Ancient City of Wildlands is Yan Xiao. You are willing to risk your life for him. He will naturally remember this favor in his heart. Now that he is nowhere to be found, it is only natural that you would come here … however, it seems that you have come a little earlier than I had expected."
The corner of Li Gan's mouth was lifted into a dark and evil smile. Both of his eyes overflowed with a cold glint.
Xiao Yan and Mo Di's group were locked in an intense battle. Since this was the case, he would allow them to fight. It would be best if both parties were injured. He, on the other hand, was only concerned about the Void Lightning Pool …
"Humph! What a good scheme. Even if this is the case, brother Yan Xiao will definitely find out if you dare to kill me in front of old Luo's eyes! "
Qin Zhong's face twitched continuously. Li Gan in front of him was really a vicious and vicious person. Li Gan merely smiled when he heard this. He lifted his eyes and said,
"Who said that I want to kill you? I know that the outcome would be very troublesome. Therefore, I only want the Void Lightning Pool Invitation in your hands. That is enough!"
Qin Zhong's heart relaxed slightly. At the very least, Li Gan in front of him would not harm his life. However, he could not let his guard down.
"Humph, even if you snatch the Void Lightning Pool Invitation from my hands, I'm afraid that you will not be able to protect it!"
"Ke … Brother Qin Zhong, you don't have to worry about this …"
Qin Zhong wanted to stall for time, hoping that he would be able to think of a way to escape. The difference between a Three Star Half Martial Emperor and a Six Star Half Martial Emperor was too great. He absolutely could not face them head-on.
However, Li Gan clearly did not want Qin Zhong to escape. Before his voice had even faded, Li Gan, who was only a few feet away from Qin Zhong, instantly moved and grabbed at Qin Zhong.
