The hemp-clothed old man let out a cold snort when he heard this. He faced the First Elder of the Liu clan and said,
"The old me is naturally aware of the rules. Once one's strength has reached a certain level, one will have to leave sooner or later. However, the old me has only just broken through. Don't tell me that the old me is not allowed to rest at home for a night and leave tomorrow? Hee hee! Liu Xincheng, on the other hand, your strength has only improved so little after so many years. You have really surprised me. Ha ha ha ha! Where is that genius from back then? Where is that absolute genius from back then? From the looks of it now, he is merely so-so. Ha ha ha! "
The words of the hemp-clothed old man contained a mocking tone, causing the First Elder of the Liu clan to be so angry that his entire body trembled. If his body was not seriously injured at this moment, it was likely that he would have long since charged forward and fought with the hemp-clothed old man.
At this moment, Liu Huabai appeared to have recalled something. Earlier, he had only found the hemp-clothed old man a little familiar. When he recalled this, his face, which had recovered some redness, immediately became a little paler. It was only a long while later that he spoke with a somewhat trembling voice.
"You … you, you … you are the previous generation First Elder of the Wu clan, Wu Kui!"
The expressions of everyone in the Liu clan drastically changed when they heard this. Wu Kui, this was a name that everyone in the Liu clan felt fear in their hearts. When Wu Kui was young, his strength was not great. He was even a little weaker than some people from other clans. However, Wu Kui had great perseverance. Although his strength was weaker than others, his strength could barely be considered as strong if he focused on training. However, after his strength had reached the Dou Ling class, he had suddenly disappeared for some unknown reason. At that time, no one had paid attention to him. From their point of view, he was merely a small Dou Ling and would definitely have died somewhere. However, after he had disappeared for a couple of months, the Liu clan suddenly discovered that their clan members were decreasing. All of them had strangely died for no reason. Moreover, the strength of those who died was increasing. Some of them had even reached the Dou Wang class.
This caused the members of the Liu clan to begin to panic. A three star Dou Wang was not frightening. What was frightening was that he also knew assassination techniques. Even a Dou Huang would have difficulty dealing with him. In the end, even the current First Elder of the Liu clan had been assassinated by him. Although the final outcome was still a failure, the First Elder, whose reputation was rising at that time, had also been destroyed by Wu Kui. He had become a cripple of the Liu clan and had once become the greatest laughing stock of the Liu clan for the past hundred years. This also caused the Liu clan to be furious. On one hand, they sent out the true experts of the Liu clan to chase after Wu Kui. On the other hand, they found trouble with the Wu clan in hopes of redeeming themselves a little. However, in the end, it still ended in failure. Although the Liu clan had told the First Elder at that time that Wu Kui had fallen off the cliff and died, everyone knew that this was just a perfunctory matter.
As expected, Wu Kui did not die. Not only did he not die, but his strength had also risen to another level. He was even stronger than the First Elder of the Liu clan. Liu Huabai saw the trace of desolation in the eyes of the members of his clan and suddenly cried out.
"For the sake of our Liu clan's tomorrow, charge forward! Kill all these bastards of the Wu clan! "
Before his voice sounded, he took the lead and charged forward. Everyone saw the Clan Leader's desperate stance and recalled Xiao Yan, who was still in the Liu clan's mansion. A wild fighting intent rose in their hearts. They waved the sharp blades in their hands and Dou Qi surged wildly. In an instant, they slashed at the members of the Wu clan. Liu Huabai, the First Elder, and the rest charged toward the head of the Wu clan, Wu Bai, and the hemp-clothed old man.
This sudden charge caused the members of the Wu clan to be utterly defeated at the beginning. Although the fighting intent of the members of the Liu clan had already erupted and all of them appeared to be fighting with their lives on the line when they charged, the Wu clan had the advantage of having a large number of people. Not long later, the Liu clan was suppressed by the human wave tactic of the Wu clan. From the looks of it, the Liu clan would definitely be completely annihilated soon. However, the surprising thing was that there was still a spot in the battleground that the members of the Liu clan were firmly holding back. Regardless of how the Wu clan attacked, they were still forcefully pushed back by the members of the Liu clan. Xiao Yan took a look and realized that it was the people that Liu Xiang had led. Liu Xiang had gone all out in order to use the full strength of his clan to invite Xiao Yan. This caused the Grand Elder of the Wu clan to frown slightly when he saw this. Immediately, he let out a cold snort and tossed the experts from the Liu clan, who were being beaten until they were continuously forced back by the members of the Wu clan. His body moved and he charged toward the spot where Liu Xiang was located.
In the Liu Clan residence, Xiao Yan sensed the battle outside the Liu Clan residence, as well as Wu Kui, who was charging towards Liu Xiang. He let out a cold laugh and began to stroll around the courtyard of the Liu Clan residence. Looking at a few fish fighting for fish food in the pond, Xiao Yan casually picked up a stone beside him and threw it at the head of the largest fish. Before the stone landed, the fish quickly dodged to the side. At the same time, the hemp-clothed elder, Wu Kui, who was outside the Liu Clan residence, also paused for a moment. His pupils abruptly shrunk, and his entire body was instantly drenched in cold sweat. A bone-chilling feeling surged out from the depths of his soul. His body also abruptly retreated dozens of feet before he came to a stop. His body bowed forward, cupped his hands together, and said in a trembling voice:
"May I know which senior played such a joke on this junior? I hope that senior can stand aside and watch. Please wait for this junior to settle this matter before I ask senior for forgiveness. This junior thanks senior in advance."
Wu Kui was extremely careful when he spoke, as if he was afraid of angering this mysterious senior. When the others saw Wu Kui's strange actions, they were also slightly stunned. Immediately, all the members of the Liu Clan turned their heads to look inside the Liu Clan residence with faces full of excitement. Xiao Yan's figure did not appear in their line of sight, but his words drifted out from the Liu Clan residence. Xiao Yan's words, which sounded like a joke, caused the expressions of the members of the Wu Clan to change drastically.
"Since all of you have come to kill me, then I won't be polite. Originally, I was in a good mood recently and didn't want to make a move, but you didn't let me relax at all. Since that's the case, then don't blame me."
After finishing his words, Xiao Yan turned his body slightly and appeared at the entrance of the Liu Clan residence. There was not the slightest ripple in his eyes as he looked at Wu Kui. His gaze caused Wu Kui's body to tremble violently. He quickly descended from the sky and trotted to Xiao Yan. Then, he cupped his hands and bowed to Xiao Yan.
"Junior Wu Kui greets senior. Today's matter is due to the ignorance of the younger generation of the Wu Clan, which disturbed senior's rest. I hope senior will forgive us. Junior will tell them to scram back."
After finishing his words, he quickly turned to the members of the Wu Clan and shouted angrily.
"All of you, scram back home! A bunch of ignorant fools, how dare you disturb senior's rest? Are you tired of living? Scram! All of you, scram back to your clans. No one is allowed to take half a step out of the clan for a month. Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy! Scram! Scram! All of you, scram! Scram! "
After shouting, Wu Kui turned around and looked at Xiao Yan. However, he saw that Xiao Yan's clear eyes were still without any ripples. Xiao Yan's face was cold as he looked at him. Wu Kui's expression changed. He was just about to turn around and continue scolding when Xiao Yan waved his hand and opened his mouth indifferently.
There is no need for you to put on a show for me to see. Everyone from your Wu Clan who has come today will definitely die. Moreover, you even want to kill the person that I have taken a fancy to. You are really bold. Therefore, since you have come, stay behind. "
Xiao Yan's words were incomparably calm. However, it caused Wu Kui's expression to change drastically. His body moved and he suddenly rushed toward the horizon, attempting to flee this place. How could Xiao Yan, a dignified Ban Di, allow a small Dou Zun to escape from under his eyes? He slowly raised his hand and gently slammed it down. Wu Kui, who was swiftly fleeing, emitted a 'bang' and fell to the ground as though he had suffered a heavy blow. Finally, his body emitted a 'bang' as it smashed onto the ground, lifting waves of dust. Once the dust scattered, everyone saw that Wu Kui's entire body was dripping with blood. He lay on the ground without any aura. Wave after wave of fresh blood spurted out from the wounds on his body, dyeing a large area of the ground red.
Everyone was stunned as they looked at Wu Kui's corpse. Even the expressions of those members of the Wu Clan who were rolling on the ground paused. After which, they began to flee in a crazy manner. Even the upper echelons of the Wu Clan were the same.
Xiao Yan's eyes were indifferent as he looked at all the members of the Wu Clan. He once again raised his hand and clenched it tightly. One could see that those members of the Wu Clan did not even have the time to emit a miserable cry when they turned into a bloody fog in an instant. It slowly drifted in the air, emitting a dense bloody scent that caused one to want to vomit.
Everyone from the Liu Clan faced each other. Such tactics, such a character, and such a ruthless and merciless attack. This elder was indeed extraordinary. If the Liu Clan could befriend him, it was likely that it would not be difficult for them to unify the south-western border in the future. Everyone threw gazes of admiration toward Xiao Yan as they thought of this. Some of them had even knelt on both knees. They were waiting for this elder Xiao Yan to choose a disciple. Xiao Yan merely glanced at them before turning his head to look at Liu Xiang. He nodded gently and gestured for Liu Xiang to come over. Xiao Yan glanced at Liu Xiang, who was standing in front of him, whose body was covered with someone's blood.
"You are an alchemist, right?"
Liu Xiang's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this. He replied to Xiao Yan.
"Elder, I am indeed an alchemist. Unfortunately, I lack experience and have no one to teach me. Therefore, my alchemy skills have always remained at the level of a fourth-grade alchemist. Elder, please don't laugh at me."
Xiao Yan nodded slightly and looked at Liu Xiang with a hint of approval in his eyes. He stretched his right hand into the air and a scroll appeared in his hand. Xiao Yan casually tossed it to Liu Xiang and continued.
"This is the lifetime experience of an eighth-grade alchemist grand master. If you have time, you can learn it. It should be of some help to your future growth and progress as an alchemist."
Liu Xiang's body nearly collapsed. A tier 8 alchemist guru. That was an existence at the peak of the alchemist class. Yet, Xiao Yan had carelessly tossed it to someone else. If some low tier alchemist were to learn of this, it was likely that they would immediately run over and do everything they could to exchange it with Xiao Yan. Liu Xiang was also stunned for a moment. Only then did his throat move as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. His face was filled with excitement as he looked at the scroll in his hand. His knees bent as he knelt down toward Xiao Yan. At the same time, he spat out a sentence from his mouth.
"Thank you, Senior, for your kindness in bestowing me with good fortune. I am eternally grateful. Master, please accept a bow from your disciple!"
As he spoke, Liu Xiang was about to kneel on the ground. However, Xiao Yan waved his sleeves and a gentle force supported Liu Xiang's body, which was about to kneel on the ground.
"I gave you the experience of a Level Eight Alchemy Grand Master to help you practice, not because I want you to thank me, but because I think you have a good character, a solid cultivation, and courage. As for you wanting to worship me as your teacher, you are not qualified. To be honest, when I was your age, I was much better than you. If you really want to worship me as your teacher, you'd better reach the level of an Alchemy Grand Master first. At least, you should reach the level of an Alchemy Grand Master. Only an Alchemist like the one who compiled this scroll can be your disciple."
As soon as Xiao Yan's words came out, even Liu Xiang, a fourth-grade alchemist, twitched his face violently. An eighth-grade alchemist grand master only deserved to be his disciple. How powerful was his master? This was unimaginable.
Liu Xiang's pupils suddenly shrank when he heard these words, and his body trembled suddenly. He lowered his head slightly and stopped talking.
