"Xiao Yan."
It was a long while later before the middle-aged man gradually woke up from the thoughts in his heart. However, he still could not resist softly muttering Xiao Yan's name.
"You mean that Xiao Yan is currently in my Cold Stream City?"
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes. His eyes were sharp as he stared at Bai Ye in front of him. His voice was somewhat low and deep as he spoke.
"Ke ke, that's right. Chief Sun, not only is Xiao Yan currently in Cold Stream City, but he is also in the Four Directions Pavilion established by the Sun clan."
Bai Ye parted his mouth and smiled when he heard this. He revealed a row of densely white teeth. Under the illumination of the sunlight, the smile on Bai Ye's face, which should have appeared warm, appeared dark and cold at this moment.
A joy immediately surfaced on the middle-aged man's face when he heard the words from Bai Ye's mouth. It was unexpected that Xiao Yan would actually take the initiative to deliver himself to their doorstep. As long as they were able to capture Xiao Yan and deliver him to the Heavenly Sword Sect, it would be quite beneficial to their Sun clan!
The four large clans under the Heavenly Sword Sect, Huo, Zhuo, Bai, and Sun, each managed the four regions within the territory of the Heavenly Sword Sect. The distribution of the regions was based on the contributions of the four large clans. For the past hundred years, their Sun clan had always been at the bottom. Even now, the region that they were allocated was the smallest. However, if they were able to capture Xiao Yan and deliver him to the Heavenly Sword Sect, the positions of the four large clans would undergo a great reshuffling.
The size of the region was directly related to the profits that their entire clan could obtain. This was also related to the overall strength of their entire clan. This was something that they could not afford to not pay attention to.
Moreover, Xiao Yan had disappeared for three years. Now that he had reappeared, the bounty that the four large sects had announced for him was something that even these elite Dou Di were extremely tempted in their hearts. If they were able to obtain that bounty, in addition to their Sun clan capturing Xiao Yan, they would be able to perform a great service for the Heavenly Sword Sect. At that time, the Sun clan would be able to obtain far more than this.
When he thought of this, the middle-aged man's heart immediately moved slightly. Once Xiao Yan was captured by his Sun clan, the leader of the four great clans under the Heavenly Sword Sect would change hands!
Bai Ye, who was in front of him, laughed coldly in his heart when he saw this. If the head of the Sun clan could think of this, how could he not?
Long before he had arrived at the Sun clan, he had already used a secret technique to inform the Bai clan behind him. Unfortunately, the territories of the Sun and Bai clans were adjacent to each other. As their neighbour, the Bai clan would likely arrive here soon. This was the reason why Bai Ye had intentionally delayed for so long.
Although the two clans were separated by territories, the distance between them was still quite great. However, Bai Ye was confident that the head of the Bai clan would definitely personally come once Xiao Yan appeared. With his strength as a Dou Di, this little distance would not take much time.
Bai Ye involuntarily laughed coldly in his heart when he thought of this. As long as the head of the Sun clan arrived, it would be hard to say just which clan would end up with Xiao Yan. However, Bai Ye's gaze immediately turned. His eyes flickered in a manner that was undetectable. After which, he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and opened his mouth once again. His tone carried some ridicule as he laughed.
"However, I think that at this very moment, the manager of the Four Directions Pavilion, Sun Huo, should be surrounding Xiao Yan with a heart filled with joy. Ha ha."
"Huh?"
The middle-aged man immediately knit his brows tightly when he heard this. The expression on his face swiftly became gloomy.
"What do you mean by this?"
The middle-aged man slowly clenched his hands behind his back. Both of his eyes narrowed as he stared at Bai Ye and asked in a low voice. At the same time that he spoke, circular invisible ripples slowly spread out from the empty space around the middle-aged man.
Seeing this, Bai Ye's heart could not help but feel terrified. Soon after, he once again opened his mouth with a smile and said,
"Ke ke, head of the Sun clan, this matter is not made up by me. However, that Xiao Yan seems to have already become a rank three alchemist."
"Huh? Rank three alchemist? "
The expression of the middle-aged man in front of Bai Ye instantly changed when the words from his mouth sounded. A deep shock involuntarily surged within his pair of sharp eyes.
Even though this head of the Sun clan had some understanding of Xiao Yan, he only knew that Xiao Yan had once survived under the joint attack of the leaders of the four large sects. He also knew that Xiao Yan possessed the frightening ability to challenge those of a higher class. However, he did not know that Xiao Yan was actually an alchemist. Moreover, he was actually a rank three alchemist!
"Rank three alchemist Xiao Yan. How is this possible!"
The muscles on the middle-aged man's face involuntarily twitched intensely. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
Indeed, with the status of a member of the younger generation, Xiao Yan was actually able to train his Dou Qi and Spiritual Strength to such an extent at such a young age. This kind of matter was indeed hard to imagine.
Of course, what they did not know was that even though the current Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength was not weak, there was still quite a large distance between him and the level of a rank three alchemist. At the end of the day, the current Xiao Yan was only a rank two alchemist.
The reason why they would think that Xiao Yan was a rank three alchemist was because the medicinal ingredients that Xiao Yan needed were basically medicinal ingredients for refining rank three medicinal pills and above. That was all.
"Ke ke, the head of the Sun clan should also be able to understand the importance of a rank three alchemist. From the way I see it, Elder Sun Huo of your clan is doing this for the good of your clan. After all, if you are able to recruit a rank three alchemist, I believe that your clan will be able to easily take the position of the head of the four large clans with the influence of a rank three alchemist in less than a year. The future of the Sun clan can be said to be very bright!"
Hearing these words, the expression in the middle-aged man's eyes immediately brightened. As an elite Dou Di, he naturally understood the importance of a rank three alchemist in his heart. If his Sun clan was able to obtain the help of a rank three alchemist, the future of the Sun clan would really be bright.
However, the middle-aged man immediately frowned. He did not believe that a member of the Bai clan, who had fought alongside his Sun clan for so many years, would say such words.
As expected, Bai Ye first displayed a respectful manner. After cupping his hands together toward the middle-aged man, he turned his eyebrows and pretended to frown and shake his head in a pitiful manner. With a click of his tongue, he sighed softly.
"Unfortunately, this rank three alchemist just had to be Xiao Yan. He is someone that the four large sects want to capture. If the head of the Sun clan really dares to recruit him …"
"Hmph! Stop acting pretentious in front of this clan head. A mere nine star Half Emperor like you does not have the qualification to make irresponsible remarks in front of this clan head! "
Before the words from Bai Ye's mouth sounded, the head of the Sun clan suddenly let out a cold snort and interrupted him.
It was also at this moment that a turbulent aura was suddenly transmitted over from the horizon outside of Cold Stream City. The strength of that aura was not inferior even when compared to the head of the Sun clan.
The expression of the middle-aged man within the Sun Mansion in the city instantly changed when this aura attacked. He turned his eyes and his sharp eyes immediately landed on Bai Ye in front of him. Both of his eyes suddenly surged with a raging fury. Bai Ye's eyes were filled with a fiery fury. Bai Ye's expression changed.
"Bai Ye! You are purposely stalling for time! "
This person was the head of the Bai clan.
