"Bang!"
After the punch, the North King stood firmly on the spot and did not move at all. However, the middle-aged man could not stop himself from retreating several dozen steps before his body shook and he forcibly stabilized himself.
The middle-aged man raised his head and looked over. In front of Xiao Yan, there was a well-built figure that looked like an iron tower. The figure was staring at him with an indifferent expression.
When the middle-aged man saw this scene, his expression immediately became serious. In the blink of an eye, the disdainful sneer from before had disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by a deep seriousness.
"A Nine Star Half Martial Emperor puppet! Who exactly is this brat?! "
The middle-aged man stared at the North King with a grave expression. Xiao Yan, who was behind the North King, caused the middle-aged man to be greatly shocked. How could he have imagined that a Five Star Half Martial Emperor brat would actually have such a trump card? Clearly, with the North King taking action, there was nothing he could do to Xiao Yan.
"Haha, it seems that my eyes have failed me. It seems that young master has no intention of joining me. Haha, since that's the case, I won't force you. Young master, please go ahead!"
Knowing that he could not force Xiao Yan to stay, the middle-aged man no longer acted pretentious. Instead, he put on a seemingly good-natured smile in the blink of an eye. At the same time, he took a step forward and opened a path for Xiao Yan and Luo Jin.
The middle-aged man's actions were naturally noticed by the surrounding crowd. Immediately, everyone's gazes involuntarily fell on the North King, who was standing in front of Xiao Yan.
The North King had forced a Nine Star Half Martial Emperor to retreat with a single strike. This could still be explained as the North King taking the initiative and launching a surprise attack. However, the middle-aged man's retreat towards Xiao Yan in the blink of an eye caused the crowd to feel suspicious.
When some of the high-level Half Martial Emperors in the crowd investigated, their eyes gradually filled with shock as they looked at the North King.
A puppet that was comparable to a Nine Star Half Martial Emperor. With such a terrifying puppet, it was no wonder that the middle-aged man did not dare to meet force with force.
…
Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw the middle-aged man take the initiative to give way. He didn't expect the middle-aged man to be so decisive. However, this was also good. It saved him a lot of trouble.
Xiao Yan did not stand on ceremony as the road in front of him opened up. He gave Luo Jin a look, and with a move of his feet, he strode towards the end of the street where the crowd had opened up a path.
Behind him, Luo Jin followed closely, and the North King was the last.
With Xiao Yan's speed, there was naturally no need for him to fear this middle-aged man. As for Luo Jin, when facing a Nine Star Half Martial Emperor, it was truly difficult for him, an Eight Star Half Martial Emperor, to resist. Of course, this did not mean that Luo Jin also possessed some sort of heaven defying treasure to protect himself.
With the North King guarding the rear, the middle-aged man was wary of him. As long as the North King was there, the middle-aged man would not dare to make a move.
Under the various gazes of the surrounding crowd, Xiao Yan and Luo Jin gradually walked away under the protection of the North King, leaving behind the middle-aged man and his group, who were staring at the North King's back.
When Xiao Yan's group disappeared into the crowd on the street, a skinny man whose entire body was wrapped in armor beside the large middle-aged man finally looked at the latter. He first swept his eyes in the direction that Xiao Yan's group had disappeared in before looking at the large middle-aged man. His expression was dark and stern as he opened his mouth and asked.
"City Lord, should we chase after them? If we let them continue, they'll be out of the city. "
"Hmph! Chase? Fine, you go chase after them. If you can stop them, I'll reward you greatly. If you can't, I'll take your dog life! "
Hearing this, not only did the middle-aged man not reveal a smile, he instead snorted angrily and looked at the latter with a gloomy expression. His gloomy gaze caused the middle-aged man's entire body to feel ice-cold.
"Hmph, that brat has a puppet protecting him. Not to mention you, even I have to be wary of him. With your strength as a Seven Star Half Martial Emperor, you're not even as strong as that brat's puppet. You want me to stop them? How am I supposed to stop them?"
After hearing this, the lean man immediately retracted his head and asked again with a cowardly expression, "Then...
City Lord, are we just going to let them leave like this? "
"Then what do you want? That brat is clearly not an ordinary person. With our strength, we can't touch him easily. Moreover, our mission is only to keep him in Emerald Green City. As long as we can buy enough time, someone will deal with that brat. "
Looking at the North King's disappearing figure, the middle-aged man said in a gloomy and cold voice.
…
On the other side, Xiao Yan and Luo Jin did not leave the city like the middle-aged man had imagined. Instead, they slowly walked toward a pavilion in the center of the city. It was the Yunyin Pavilion's branch.
Before they came, Luo Jin had told Xiao Yan that there was a Yunyin Pavilion's branch in the Emerald Green City of the Western Region that they were about to reach. Their current destination was this branch.
While the two of them were hurrying, Xiao Yan asked Luo Jin about the situation of the Four Great Sects.
Of course, as expected, when Luo Jin mentioned the overall strength of the Four Great Sects, Xiao Yan's expression immediately became serious.
The strength of the Four Great Ancient Sects of the Western Region was indeed as Xiao Yan had predicted. They were all super sects that possessed genuine Dou Di experts!
Xiao Yan admitted that even until now, the only person he had truly seen who was an expert at the Dou Di class was Qing Feng and the others from the Spiritual Ginseng tribe. The thirty-two Spiritual Guards of the Spiritual Ginseng tribe were all ultimate experts whose strengths were above the Dou Di class.
Although he had seen it before, the might of an elite Dou Di was something that he had only seen a little of from the pressure of the Dou Di from the Gray Mountain Range. Even so, it still caused Xiao Yan to be unable to deal with it.
According to what Luo Jin had said, the leaders of the Four Great Ancient Sects had already advanced to the Dou Di class a couple of hundred years ago. After so many years of training, their strength was truly at the top even when placed in the western region!
This sentence was enough to show how strong the four of them were.
After all, this was not just a small number of people being used as a comparison. This was using the entire Western Region as a foundation. Their strength was truly at the peak level!
The strongest person among the Four Great Ancient Sects was the leader of the God Refining Sect, Chen Zhen. His strength was an eight star Dou Di. Additionally, his sect was mainly made up of formation masters. With the two complementing each other, the strength of his sect could be considered the strongest existence among the Four Great Ancient Sects.
Any formation that was set up by their leader was said to possess a frightening defensive strength that even a Dou Di could not break!
The second was the Battle Martial Sect, which was known for its overbearing strength. Its leader was called Wu Jitian. His physical body was trained to the point that it could not break through anything. It was as hard as rock and indestructible. His strength was frightening and he was also an eight star Dou Di. His fighting strength was the most frightening existence among the four leaders!
It was rumored that he had once used his physical body to forcefully kill a one star Dou Di class Black Rock Beast without using Dou Qi.
The defensive strength of the Black Rock Beast could be considered one of the best in the entire Magical Beast world. Even so, it was still unable to escape death when faced with Wu Jitian.
The third person was the leader of the Sky Sword Gate, Jian Ming. His strength was similar to Wu Jitian. One was known for his powerful physical body while the other was known for his powerful sword intent.
Jian Ming's sword intent was so strong that with just a thought, tens of thousands of swords would appear within a ten thousand kilometer radius, causing one to have nowhere to hide. Those who fought with him would usually end up having their flesh and soul penetrated by the countless number of sword intents. Their deaths were extremely cruel.
Jian Ming's attacking strength was also similar to Wu Jitian. However, the latter's physical body was so strong that Jian Ming was usually unable to do anything to him. As for whether he was afraid of Wu Jitian, no one knew.
As for the fourth Sect Master of the Four Great Ancient Sects, his sect was called the Withered Leaf Sect. The strength of the entire sect was also the weakest among the Four Great Ancient Sects. Even the Sect Master's strength was much weaker than the first three.
Until now, the leader of the Withered Leaf Sect only possessed the strength of a seven star Dou Di. Of course, this was also a terrifying existence that Xiao Yan could not compare with.
However, this sect was truly the weakest among the Four Great Ancient Sects. It was also because of this that the Withered Leaf Sect often became the laughing stock of the other three sects.
However, Xiao Yan also discovered from Luo Jin's words that Luo Jin had quite a good understanding of the top three sects among the Four Great Ancient Sects. As for this Withered Leaf Sect, it seemed that even his explanation was pitifully little.
While the two of them were walking and chatting, Xiao Yan raised his head and discovered that they had arrived at the Yunyin Pavilion branch in Lengcui City.
