It was night. Dark-black gauze covered the entire world. One could vaguely see dense thunderclouds in the pitch-black sky. Occasionally, lightning would flash as they churned, temporarily illuminating the vast mountain forest below. Soon after, a rumbling thunder would be emitted. It was just like the roar of a Magical Beast as it furiously resounded across the sky. Even some of the low rank Magical Beasts in the mountain forest below could not help but feel fear in their hearts when they heard this thunder.
Apart from that, there was also a sinister wind blowing between the heavens and the earth, sweeping across the sea of trees like the netherworld. It brought about strange waves that looked like smiling faces, making this pitch-black world even more terrifying.
At this moment, two people were seated in front of a fire in an open space where flames lingered in the mountain forest below.
The flames danced like agile monkeys. The faint light from the flames shone on Xiao Yan's and Gu You's faces, illuminating the ground within a dozen feet of them.
The atmosphere was a little quiet. Even at this moment, Xiao Yan was still recalling Little Gold's appearance before it had been taken away by Jin Lin. Both of his eyes revealed a deep reluctance to part with it.
Other than Xiao Xuan, who had yet to be resurrected, Xiao Yan only had Little Gold left in the Yuanwu Continent. However, ancestor Xiao Xuan was still far from being truly resurrected. Moreover, Little Gold had been taken away at this moment. This meant that Xiao Yan would be alone for the rest of his journey.
"Old Gu, do you think it was the right decision to send Little Gold away?"
Xiao Yan's face carried a worried expression. He was not worried that he would face danger by himself. He had experienced quite a number of such things. There was no need for him to be worried. After all, he had walked all the way here by himself.
He was only worried about whether Jin Lin was trustworthy. Even with the restriction of the lightning penalty oath, Jin Lin was still a stranger to Xiao Yan. Who would easily believe a stranger's words?
"Ha ha, little fellow Xiao Yan, it is not appropriate for the old me to comment on other matters. However, little fellow, you can rest assured about this lightning penalty oath. Even if he has any evil intentions, he will definitely not be able to do it. Although the old me has never come into contact with the Ancient Void Dragon tribe, I can roughly tell you that other than an extremely small number of people, the rest of the Ancient Void Dragon tribe have quite good characters. You are worthy of trusting this point."
Gu You did not clearly explain whether it was right or wrong to send Little Gold away after hearing Xiao Yan's words. He only told Xiao Yan that the Ancient Void Dragon tribe was not bad. As for his choice, it was up to Xiao Yan.
"Ugh … I hope so."
Xiao Yan sighed softly when he heard this. His heart was filled with unwillingness.
"Little fellow, don't forget what you said. Didn't you send that little fellow away so that you can face the four great sects wholeheartedly? The grudge between you and the four great sects should be settled by you. Only by sending Little Gold away can you prevent him from being implicated. You have to walk the path. Why do you have to hold on to this matter?"
Gu You reprimanded Xiao Yan. His tone was extremely stern.
"Old Gu …"
Xiao Yan's throat rolled as he spoke in a dry voice. Gu You nodded when he saw this and continued speaking.
"Alright, don't think so much. Hurry up and recover from your injuries. I still have something to say to you once you have recovered."
Gu You spoke faintly. After which, he ignored Xiao Yan. Instead, he stood up, turned around, and flew into the dark night sky. Gu You's expression was cold as he stood under the dark night sky. He looked at the churning thunderclouds above his head and revealed a dissatisfied expression.
"Tch, it's all because of this damn weather that this brat is still worried. Humph, all of you, disperse!"
Gu You suddenly cursed and waved his hand. A dense white energy pillar immediately shot out. It was like a bolt of lightning. In the blink of an eye, it had already entered the thunderclouds in the sky.
"Rumble …"
Soon after, the thunderclouds in the sky began to churn violently. A moment later, the dense thunderclouds in the sky were swept away and completely disappeared.
The thunderclouds scattered and the bright moon rose high in the night sky. Stars appeared everywhere. Light scattered from the sky and landed on Xiao Yan, who was sitting cross-legged and refining the medicinal pill in his body. Even the reddish-yellow flames were covered at this moment.
How could the light of a firefly compete with the brightness of the moon!
… …
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yan had already sat in front of the extinguished fire for ten days. During these ten days, Xiao Yan had already refined no less than five Di tier medicinal pills. Only at this moment did the injuries within Xiao Yan's body completely recover.
"Hu …"
Xiao Yan clenched his hands as he sensed the abundant Dou Qi within his body. After which, he stood up from the ground. His body twisted left and right, and a wave of bone cracking sounds were emitted from all over Xiao Yan's body. This caused Xiao Yan to involuntarily heave a long sigh of relief. It had been a long time since he had felt such a carefree feeling.
Suddenly, both of Xiao Yan's hands were tightly clenched into fists. Both of his fists were swung in unison and unleashed a set of well-practiced fist techniques. Although Xiao Yan did not use any Dou Qi, his frightening physical body was still able to cause the space in front of him to become distorted. Numerous invisible air cannonballs immediately formed when Xiao Yan's fist was thrown out. Soon after, they carried a frightening wind as they mercilessly shattered an enormous rock that was over a hundred feet away from Xiao Yan.
Rock fragments shot out, stirring a cloud of dust that permeated the sky. At the same time, an intense explosive sound reverberated over the mountain forest, causing the expressions of many low rank Magical Beasts to change upon hearing it. They swiftly fled. In an instant, the area within a thousand feet of Xiao Yan had become chaotic. The birds that resided in the forest were just like birds that had been startled by the twang of a bow. All of them flew into the sky.
Xiao Yan immediately felt helpless in his heart when he saw that he had actually caused such a commotion just by moving his body. Xiao Yan curled his lips and bitterly withdrew his hand. Only then did he turn his eyes and look at the sky to the east. That was the direction that Jin Lin had taken Xiao Jin ten days ago.
"Hu …"
Xiao Yan deeply exhaled the turbid air in his chest. He lifted his head and looked at the sky above. Gu You was standing high in the sky. Sunlight scattered down, but one could only vaguely see a cluster of black shadows. One was unable to clearly see his face.
"Ha ha, have you recovered?"
A laughter was transmitted. Xiao Yan nodded. His feet stomped on the ground as his body shot into the sky and stood in front of Gu You.
"Since you have recovered, let's go."
Gu You looked at Xiao Yan, whose aura had recovered. He softly laughed before turning into a ray of light that entered Xiao Yan's body.
"Ugh … Old Gu, didn't you say that you had something to tell me the other day? Why …"
"Ha ha, you should leave first. It might be a little rushed. I will tell you when the time is right in a couple of days."
Before Xiao Yan could finish speaking, Gu You interrupted Xiao Yan's words as though he had expected it. His soft laughter contained a different meaning, causing Xiao Yan to feel suspicious. However, it was difficult for him to guess.
Xiao Yan could only shrug his shoulders helplessly. He once again turned his head to look at the distant sky behind him. He immediately turned his head back and looked towards the southwest. The Xilin Mountain Range was there.
