"Who is this person? Don't tell me that he is also from the four great clans?"
After seeing the Zhuo clan, Xiao Yan's heart instantly became suspicious of the other aura that had suddenly appeared at this moment. This aura might belong to one of the four great clans.
"Ha ha, Zhuo Bentang, it has really been a long time since we last met!"
Before the person had arrived, a voice that was filled with arrogance was transmitted over in a vast and mighty manner like thunder. The voice was so loud that even the sky involuntarily trembled.
"Hmph, Huo Ba, it has been so many years since we last met. It is unexpected that you have actually broken through to the three star Dou Di class."
The leader of the Zhuo clan, the old man who was called Zhuo Bentang, coldly replied in an indifferent tone when he heard the loud laughter that was filled with arrogance.
"Ha ha, Zhuo Bentang, on the other hand, why is your strength still stuck at the initial three star Dou Di class after so many years. Don't tell me that you have been sleeping all these years?"
A group of people wearing embroidered robes slowly landed on the ground in the sky. The leader of this group was an old man with a rough face. The corner of his mouth contained some ridicule as he stared at Zhuo Bentang. The words that came out of his mouth were not polite at all.
The passers-by around them hurriedly squeezed to the side when they saw this group of people descend, creating an enormous empty space. Everyone's eyes were filled with fear when they looked at Zhuo Bentang and Huo Ba.
Three star Dou Di. This was the true strongest person in Xilin City. If anyone dared to anger him, he would be able to slap them to death in this place. Who would dare to offend such a strong person?
At this moment, the scene between Huo Ba and Zhuo Bentang was just like the Sun clan and the Bai clan that Xiao Yan had seen earlier. Although these few clans were factions under the Heavenly Sword Sect, their relationship with each other was not friendly. On the contrary, they had been in an abyss of suffering for so many years.
Of course, one did not need to think too much to guess that the Heavenly Sword Sect was definitely secretly manipulating the four great clans for so many years. The Heavenly Sword Sect did not wish for the four great clans to completely fight each other, but it also did not wish for them to return to peace. Its ultimate goal was to strengthen its own foundation. Although this kind of tactic appeared quite mischievous, a discerning person would be able to immediately understand. However, this tactic of the Heavenly Sword Sect was always effective. At the very least, the four great clans were not peaceful. This was a situation that the Heavenly Sword Sect wished to see.
No matter how the four great clans fought, with the Heavenly Sword Sect as a check and balance, the one who would ultimately benefit would be the Heavenly Sword Sect. Although the upper echelons of the four great clans understood the meaning behind this, they ultimately did not choose to live peacefully for their own benefits.
It was also because of the open and covert struggles between the four great clans that the Heavenly Sword Sect possessed an extremely terrifying foundation among the four great sects. This was also the reason why the other three sects were most afraid of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
"Humph!"
Zhuo Bentang bitterly curled his lips. He was too lazy to argue with Huo Ba about who was right and who was wrong. This time around, all the clans had come for the Desolate Ancient Remains. Before they came, the clan head had repeatedly warned them that no matter how big of a conflict they had with the other three clans, they must prioritize the Desolate Ancient Remains. As long as they obtained the treasures within the remains, the other three clans would naturally deal with them in the future.
Thinking until this point, Zhuo Bentang finally withdrew his gaze with an unhappy face. He softly said a few words to the young man beside him. Immediately, he turned around and headed toward the residence that he had already booked.
Behind him, everyone from the Huo Clan also followed Huo Ba's instructions and headed toward the residence that they had booked in advance.
Xiao Yan glanced at these two clans from within the crowd. His heart involuntarily emitted a cold laugh. When a dog bites another dog, the crazier the bites, the better. This would also make it convenient for him to fish in troubled waters when the time comes. Otherwise, if they were to reveal a group of friendliness, it would cause Xiao Yan to feel uncertain in his heart.
When he saw that the two clans had left, Xiao Yan simply used the Sky Extinction Step and instantly disappeared into the crowd. In a short while, he had already returned to the inn that he was temporarily staying at.
After entering the room and confirming that he did not attract any attention, Xiao Yan sat down on the bed and began to secretly think about his next move.
Earlier, when Zhuo Bentang and Huo Ba were cursing each other, Xiao Yan had also swiftly investigated the overall strength of the Huo Clan.
Other than the leader, Huo Ba, who was an initial three star Dou Di, there was another young elite Dou Di in the Huo Clan like the Zhuo Clan. His strength had also reached the level of an advanced one star Dou Di. Although he could not be compared with the two star Dou Di of the Zhuo Clan, this did not allow Xiao Yan to underestimate him.
At the same time, Xiao Yan's heart involuntarily felt a deep shock because of this. Within a short day, he had met two elite Dou Di of the same generation. Even with Xiao Yan's character, his heart involuntarily felt a shock when he encountered such a thing.
After recovering, Xiao Yan organized his thoughts. Currently, he could be considered to have met all four great clans under the Sky Sword Sect. From the looks of those two people earlier, it was obvious that they were not the clan heads of the Zhuo Clan and the Huo Clan. They should only be Deacon Elders of their respective clans. Even though this was the case, their strength was not much different from the clan heads of the Bai Clan and the Sun Clan. It was difficult to imagine just how great the strength of the clan heads of the Zhuo Clan and the Huo Clan were. It was likely that they were at least four star Dou Di!
As he thought of this, Xiao Yan's heart involuntarily tightened. When he thought of how the opponents he would face in the future were already this strong while he was still lingering around the Ban Di class, Xiao Yan involuntarily felt a prickling sensation on his back.
"Ugh, strength, ah strength. In this world, without strength, one is really worse than a pile of dog shit!"
Xiao Yan cursed angrily in his heart. When he recalled the arrogant expression on the face of that young man from earlier, he immediately felt an unwillingness in his heart.
In the blink of an eye, there were only five days left until the opening of the Desolate Ancient Remains. Finally, today, two auras that Xiao Yan found familiar appeared in the sky above Xilin City …
"Sun Shuo, Bai Ying …"
Xiao Yan softly muttered the names of these two people. His body, which was seated cross-legged on the bed, did not move even a little. Although these two people had come to Xilin City, Xiao Yan was not the least bit worried that they would discover him.
With the black robe that was agglomerated from the Great Way of the Void, Xiao Yan's aura had been completely covered. Currently, unless he took the initiative to release his aura, no one would be able to detect his aura.
At the same time, when Bai Ying and Sun Shuo appeared in the sky above Xilin City, the other two clans in the city had also sensed their auras. Immediately, four pairs of eyes shot out in unison. Separated by layers of buildings, an intense exchange took place in the invisible empty space.
