"Ah, so this is the Western Region. It looks a little different from what Gu Li said."
Xiao Yan looked at the bustling scene in the city and could not help but feel slightly surprised.
Long before he came, Gu Li had told him that the Western Region was the most barren place in the continent. It was a land of death where not even a blade of grass grew. The dry and hot climate was not something that ordinary people could endure.
In this place, even a Half-emperor expert had to be careful when walking around. Otherwise, if they were not careful, they would also lose their lives.
However, the scene in front of Xiao Yan at this moment was poles apart from what he thought the Western Region was. This even made him suspect that he had really come to the Western Region.
Seeing the trace of suspicion on Xiao Yan's face, Luo Jin chuckled. As they hurried, he explained to Xiao Yan with a smile.
"You must also think that the Western Region is an extremely barren place."
Xiao Yan frowned slightly and looked at Luo Jin. His brows seemed to be saying, "Is it not so?"
At least, the Western Region that he had heard from others was indeed a barren place.
Luo Jin shook his head and chuckled.
He raised his eyebrows and asked, "That old fellow Gu Li told you?"
Xiao Yan nodded. Luo Jin nodded slightly and continued.
"He's right."
Xiao Yan's expression froze slightly. Then, he stared at Luo Jin as if he wanted to eat him.
Luo Jin hurriedly laughed and stopped fooling around. He smiled at Xiao Yan and said,
"Gu Li's words are indeed correct. However, he was only half right."
Xiao Yan was stunned. Then, he was slightly surprised. Half? What did that mean?
"The Western Region is indeed barren. However, at the same time, it is also bustling. Just like what you see now, it is different from what Gu Li said. This place is surrounded by green mountains and green water."
"However, this is indeed the Western Region. The only difference is that this is the Xilin Region."
"Xilin Region?"
Xiao Yan frowned again. He had never heard of these things.
Luo Jin was also aware of this point. Therefore, he opened his mouth again and explained to Xiao Yan.
"The Western Region is divided into two regions. The first region is close to other prefectures, and it's also a relatively prosperous place. It's called the Xilin Region. It's as prosperous as the Southern Region, and it's also the gathering place of most of the Western Region's experts."
"As for the other region, it's the Western Wasteland Region that Gu Li told you about. It's located in the extreme west of the Western Wasteland Region, the inner region of the Western Wasteland Region. It's also the most desolate region in the entire continent. At the same time, it's also where the Ancient Tomb of Tian Jue is located."
Towards the end, Luo Jin's voice was so soft that only Xiao Yan could hear it clearly. However, after hearing the last few words, Xiao Yan's expression could not help but change slightly.
The Ancient Tomb of Tian Jue was the tomb of an Origin Transformation expert. Even now, the people of the Western Region were still unwilling to part with his tomb. Even the Four Great Ancient Sects had coveted it for several hundred years. From this, it could be seen just how great of an attraction the tomb of Tian Jue Shangren possessed.
At this very moment, Xiao Yan could not help but think of the Heaven Annihilation Steps he carried on his back. This item was one of the three keys to open the Ancient Tomb of Tian Jue!
In the future, he would have to be extremely careful when he walked through the Western Region. Once the Four Great Ancient Sects discovered the Heaven Annihilation Steps on him, it would bring endless trouble to Xiao Yan.
"Hmph! All of you move aside for this city lord, move aside! Today, this city lord is recruiting a group of personal guards. Those below the strength of a Three Star Half Emperor, move aside! "
Suddenly, a rough and unreasonable shout rang out from the crowd at the front of the street. As this shout rang out, the crowd at the front of the street was quickly pushed aside. A group of fully armed and armoured people strode out from the crowd.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan and Luo Jin could not be bothered to cause trouble. With a move of their feet, they retreated towards the side of the crowd.
"Hmph, you two brats, stop right there!"
Hearing these words that clearly had a hidden meaning, Xiao Yan and Luo Jin could not help but frown slightly. They looked at each other, then turned around with gloomy faces. They looked towards the group of burly figures that were walking towards them on the street.
When the middle-aged man leading the group saw Xiao Yan, his eyes immediately shined. He sneered in his heart and secretly crushed a palm-sized jade slip. Only then did he look towards Xiao Yan and Luo Jin with a bold smile on his face.
When he walked closer, the middle-aged man first glanced at Xiao Yan. When he sensed the latter's aura of a Five Star Half Emperor, his eyes immediately emitted a shocked radiance. According to what he knew, that person's strength should be at most a Three Star Half Emperor!
How did he become a Five Star Half Emperor in merely two years?!
Although he was incomparably shocked in his heart, the corners of the middle-aged man's eyes twitched slightly as he laughed heartily.
"Mn, not bad, not bad! To be able to increase your strength to a Five Star Half Emperor at such a young age, such cultivation talent is truly a top notch cultivation genius! Good! You, I want you! "
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Xiao Yan to do anything, the middle-aged man's gaze once again looked towards Luo Jin who stood beside Xiao Yan.
When he saw the latter, the middle-aged man's eyes immediately revealed an astonished expression. The strength of the young man standing beside Xiao Yan was actually even more terrifying than Xiao Yan's. He had actually reached the level of an Eight Star Half Emperor!
An Eight Star Half Emperor. Even when compared to him, Luo Jin was only a single star weaker. Who would've thought that this young looking youngster before him was actually also able to reach such a level?
After knowing Luo Jin's strength, and then looking at Xiao Yan, the middle-aged man couldn't help but feel shocked in his heart. The two people before him could truly be called heaven's favored children!
Unfortunately …
After regaining his senses, the middle-aged man looked at Xiao Yan and Luo Jin with a satisfied expression. He laughed heartily and said,
"Good! A Five Star Half Emperor and an Eight Star Half Emperor. Not bad, not bad. I'll choose you two! Come back with me. From today onwards, you two will be my personal guards. In the future, you two will enjoy endless glory, splendor and wealth. Hahahaha! "
Hearing the middle-aged man's resolute and decisive words, Xiao Yan and Luo Jin's brows furrowed even deeper. This middle-aged man before them was truly looking down on them too much. With a single sentence, he decided whether they would stay or leave. Did he really think that they were pushovers?
"Your Excellency's actions, aren't they a bit too tyrannical?!"
Xiao Yan slightly raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man who was even taller than him. His tone was filled with dissatisfaction as he spoke coldly.
"Oh? What's wrong? Tyrannical is your father's synonym. In this Emerald Green City, if your father wants someone to stay, that person will stay. If your father wants someone to stay, that person will die! "
At the same time the words were spat out, the large middle-aged man's fist was placed in front of Xiao Yan. His entire fist actually forcefully blocked the expression on Xiao Yan's face.
At this moment, Xiao Yan's face was filled with a cold smile. After a long while, Xiao Yan slowly opened his mouth and sneered.
"Oh? From the looks of it, you want to compete with your fists? "
"Hmph! Only the one with the bigger fist can have the right to speak in this Emerald Green City. With your strength of a Five Star Half Emperor, you'd better be obedient … "
Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, Xiao Yan's figure suddenly retreated a few steps. At the same time, he waved his big sleeve. A black light flashed past and the Northern King's robust body instantly appeared before Xiao Yan. His fist ferociously met the middle-aged man's fist.
