Tian Jue's cave had always been a secret, and no one knew about it.
But since one thousand five hundred years ago, someone accidentally found the Tian Jue's stone tablet, which was left behind by Tian Jue, and found out about the secret.
Therefore, the southwest region began to be turbulent. Chaoyang Sect, one of the five major sects in the southwest region, was annihilated by the other four major sects because their Vice Sect Leader, Liu Feng, had mastered one of Tian Jue's three ultimate skills, the Tian Jue Step.
Since then, Chaoyang Sect became the history of the southwest region. However, Chaoyang Sect was not completely annihilated, and the four major sects did not get the Tian Jue Step in the end.
This was because Liu Feng's family, the number one family power in the Chaoyang Sect, managed to escape from the sect with the Sky Extinction Step under Liu Feng's desperate cover. However, from now on, they could only live a life of being uprooted and homeless.
Liu Family escaped, and the Tian Jue Step was nowhere to be found. The four major sects were infuriated, and sent out most of their manpower to search everywhere. They also annihilated several families that were on good terms with Liu Family, but in the end, they still could not find them.
Liu Feng did not die at that time, but he was seriously injured and on the verge of death. Death was only a matter of time. Liu Feng also left behind the golden tablet and the scroll in Xiao Yan's hand, the Tian Jue Step, at the moment when he was on the verge of death.
They were waiting for the Liu Clan to produce another genius who could cultivate the Heaven Annihilation Step to greater mastery so that the Liu Clan could have a place in the southwest region. Unfortunately, the Liu Clan's descendants were ignorant and had wasted this golden plaque. Although they had discovered it now, the limbs of the four great sects had already extended here. If the Liu Clan wanted to forcefully rise up, it was completely impossible without relying on external forces.
At this point, Xiao Yan also knew the real reason why Liu Xincheng gave him the Tian Jue Step. He wanted to be on good terms with Xiao Yan, and also wanted to tie Xiao Yan and his Liu Family closer together. However, this was not important to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan would definitely protect the Liu Family. Liu Xincheng's action was equivalent to an unnecessary action for Xiao Yan.
The next morning.
Xiao Yan woke up from his cultivation and walked out of his room. He raised his head and looked at the eastern horizon. Over there, there was a trace of morning light, telling the world that today was a new day, and there was another new day.
Xiao Yan slowly walked out of the small courtyard and into the Liu Estate. Along the way, when the Liu Family's members saw Xiao Yan, they all had a respectful expression and cupped their hands towards Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan returned their greetings with a smile and slowly walked past them.
In the Liu Family's Great Meeting Hall, Liu Huabai, the Head of the Liu Family, was having a morning meeting with Liu Xincheng and the other elders of the Liu Family. However, a guard suddenly came in from outside the hall to report that Xiao Yan had already arrived in front of the hall.
The expressions of Liu Huabai, Liu Xincheng, and the others went slightly pale when they heard this, and they successively stood up and ran out of the hall. When they passed by the guard of the Liu Clan, Liu Huabai even fiercely glared at him, causing the guard to have an embarrassed and rather helpless expression.
"Senior has arrived so early in the morning. Junior has failed to welcome you. I hope senior can forgive me!"
Liu Huabai walked forward with large strides and arrived in front of Xiao Yan. He led the elders of the Liu Family and cupped their hands towards Xiao Yan as they bowed. Xiao Yan faintly smiled and told them to dispense with the formalities. Then, he looked at Liu Huabai with a gentle smile and said,
"Patriarch Liu, ever since I came to the Azure Sun City, I have been causing trouble for the Liu Family for many days. I have some matters to attend to recently, so it is inconvenient for me to stay any longer. I will leave today, and I will come back when I have time in the future."
When Liu Huabai and the others heard this, their expressions slightly changed. They looked at each other, and then looked at Xiao Yan together. Liu Huabai couldn't help but ask,
"Senior, you're leaving now?"
Xiao Yan looked at Liu Huabai's reluctant expression, but he still smiled and nodded, saying, "I have some matters to attend to.
Moreover, there might be a big battle with someone in the near future. So, if I continue to stay in the Liu Family, it will only harm you. So, I plan to leave in a few days. "
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yan waved his sleeve again, and a furry little beast that looked like a cat appeared in front of everyone. There was even a storage ring around its neck. Xiao Yan looked at the little beast and continued to speak to Liu Huabai.
"Just like what I said yesterday, I will leave this little fellow in your Liu Family for now. When I have time in the future, I will naturally bring it back."
Liu Huabai and Liu Xincheng both nodded. The other elders slightly raised their eyebrows, but they didn't say anything.
After Xiao Yan finished explaining some matters, he turned around and walked out of the Liu Mansion. Liu Huabai and the others also hurriedly followed and sent Xiao Yan out of the Liu Family.

On the street, Xiao Yan slowly walked out of the city. As he sensed the noise on the street, the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth revealed a comfortable smile. It had really been a long time since he had felt such a calm feeling and the noise of the city.
Xiao Yan walked on the street with a relaxed expression. As he walked, his eyebrows slightly wrinkled. He raised his eyes and looked around. He had actually walked into the slums. He didn't care. After all, he only planned to wander around the city before leaving.
Xiao Yan walked all the way into the depths of the slums. After walking for a long time, Xiao Yan finally stopped. His eyes looked around as if he was searching for something.
The surroundings were silent, but Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly lit up. His body moved, and he disappeared from where he stood.
In a small dilapidated courtyard, there were three men and one woman. Among them, one of the men was lying on the ground. A blade made of fine steel fell to the side. The man's aura was completely gone, and there wasn't a trace of blood on his body. Looking at his face, it was purplish black, and his eyes were rolled up. It was obvious that he had been poisoned to death.
As for the other two men, they were dressed in black warrior attire and held steel blades in their hands. Their backs were facing the dilapidated wooden door of the small courtyard. Their bodies were slightly trembling, and their eyes could not help but look at their dead companion. Their eyes were filled with fear.
In front of them, a girl wearing white clothes with a delicate face was retreating step by step. Her eyes carefully glanced at the house behind her. Step by step, she carefully retreated. Her eyes were filled with unconcealable fear.
Suddenly, one of the two men winked at the other. The other man frowned slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his head to look at the little girl and said:
"Humph! Little girl, your ability isn't small. Unfortunately, even if you don't die today, you must leave Qingyang City. Otherwise, when the lord comes, it will be too late for you to regret! So, you better make a choice quickly. Either you die, or you leave Qingyang City quickly and never come back! "
Hearing this, the little girl's face instantly turned pale. Her body also trembled a little. Her eyes quickly reddened, and drops of hot tears immediately flowed out. However, her mouth still stubbornly cried:
"No! This is my home! Grandma and the others are all dead! I don't want to leave! I don't want to leave! "
As the little girl cried, a purplish black fog quickly surged out from her body and enveloped the two men. Just by looking at the color of the fog, one could tell that it was definitely highly toxic.
Seeing this, the two men's faces instantly changed. The Dou Qi in their bodies quickly surged out, forming an energy shield in front of them. Their figures quickly retreated, escaping from the small courtyard.
It was already too late. The path of retreat was already blocked by the purplish black fog. Escaping was already impossible. The two men's faces were anxious. The Dou Qi light shield wouldn't last for long.
If they couldn't charge out of the purplish black fog before the Dou Qi light shield broke, then the two of them would definitely die. After all, no strong person would be willing to come to this slum area.
"Peng!"
A muffled sound rang out all around them. The two men didn't know where the sound came from, but the two of them felt that the purplish black fog that was constantly eroding the shield was slowly dispersing.
The two men's eyes brightened. Their faces revealed a trace of joy. From this, it was obvious that someone had subdued the little girl. The two men looked at each other and smiled. Their eyes were filled with life.
As the poison fog dispersed, two figures appeared. A white robed man stood in front of the little girl with a warm smile on his face.
At this moment, the little girl's face was filled with tears. Her body was trembling uncontrollably. Her hands were tightly clenched into fists. Her head of black hair fluttered in the wind. At a glance, she was extremely pitiful.
Xiao Yan faintly smiled and bent down to look at the little girl. The little girl was about twelve or thirteen years old. Xiao Yan reached out with his hand, wanting to brush away the strands of hair on the little girl's face. The little girl shrank back in fear.
Xiao Yan looked at the little girl's slightly fearful eyes and a warm smile appeared on his face. He softly said:
"Little girl, don't worry. I won't harm you. What's your name?"
Hearing this, the little girl still shrank back a little. Then she opened her mouth and asked:
"I'm called Lian 'er. You … you wouldn't be the strong person that they were talking about and have come to kill me right?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's face was stunned. The corner of his mouth twitched. My luck is so bad. They just started talking about me and I'm already here.
After calming himself down, Xiao Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Don't worry, I have nothing to do with them. I won't harm you. You can do whatever you want. I won't stop you. I just hope that you can come with me."
