As the sky gradually darkened, Xiao Yan had unknowingly stayed in the Tianyun Auction House for more than half a day. However, this did not affect the three people who were chatting in the small courtyard.
"Ha ha, this is really a joke. I did not expect that the Narwhal Snake would benefit from the Dou Qi inheritance that the four great clans fought over. This is really like drawing water with a bamboo basket. Ha ha ha ha …"
Within the small courtyard, Dong Chuan's face was filled with laughter as he listened to Xiao Yan's narration. In his heart, he had a general understanding of what had happened in the Desolate Ancient Remains a few months ago. After knowing that the Dou Qi inheritance had coincidentally fallen into the mouth of the Narwhal Snake, Dong Chuan could not help but laugh out loud.
Their Tianyun Auction House did not have a good impression of the four great sects. Now that they saw one of their people being defeated, they naturally felt incomparably carefree. Moreover, the person these people wanted to deal with was Xiao Yan.
"Speaking of which, according to what I know, there were very few people from the four large clans who successfully returned alive from the trip to the Desolate Ancient Remains the last time. I think that this matter has already spread among the four large sects. These few factions will definitely act on their own. Mister Xiao Yan should be careful about this point."
Fang Qian's expression was grave as he looked at Xiao Yan. They all knew about the grudge between Xiao Yan and the four great sects. Even though Xiao Yan's skills were not weak, he was after all facing four powerful sects that had stood in the Western Region for hundreds of years. Their foundation was so strong that it was not something that an ordinary faction could compare with.
As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. With just Xiao Yan's strength, it was ultimately impossible for him to fight against the four great sects. Fang Qian said this in hopes that Xiao Yan would be more cautious in the future.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan also revealed a solemn expression and nodded. Although Leng Bingshuang had intervened and brought him away from the Desolate Ancient Remains at the critical moment, he was not the only one who had left. The sudden disappearance of the Narwhal Snake and the Northern King would definitely arouse suspicion. This was especially so for the heir of the Zhuo clan, Zhuo Lin. This person was very scheming and would see anything unusual in his eyes. The latter would naturally not believe that Xiao Yan had died in the energy storm.
"That's right, Mister Xiao Yan. The fellow you met during the day was also a member of the four great sects. Moreover, he was a member of the Combat Martial Sect, which specializes in physical strength."
When the four great sects were mentioned, Dong Chuan seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He lifted his eyebrows and spoke to Xiao Yan in a serious voice.
When these words were spoken, Xiao Yan could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly. His eyes turned and he could not help but ask,
"Are you talking about Lu Cheng?"
"That's right. Mister Xiao Yan should have seen him during the day. That fellow's physical strength is not something that an ordinary elite Dou Di can compare with. This is also because he is a member of the Combat Martial Sect."
Dong Chuan's face revealed a solemn expression. Xiao Yan also narrowed his eyes. A look of understanding surfaced on his face. No wonder Lu Cheng's physical strength was so strong. It turned out that he was a member of the Combat Martial Sect.
The entire Combat Martial Sect specialized in physical strength. The combination of Dou Qi and physical body caused one's fighting strength to far surpass an ordinary strong person of the same level. Take Lu Cheng for example. Under the premise of relying on his physical strength, he was able to suppress Jin Yao, who was at the same level.
However, despite this, Xiao Yan did not feel the slightest bit of regret in his heart for what he had done during the day.
Xiao Yan already had quite a deep grudge with the four great sects. Additionally, Jin Yao had once helped him. Even if he did not have that layer of relationship, Xiao Yan would still go all out in today's matter!
As he thought of this, the wrinkles that had just formed between Xiao Yan's brows quickly disappeared. At the same time, Fang Qian, who was in front of him, opened his mouth once again.
"That Lu Cheng himself is nothing much. Although he is a two star Dou Di, it is likely that with Mister Xiao Yan's strength, he is not worth mentioning. It is just a troublesome matter. Behind this old fellow stands an Elder of the Combat Martial Sect. That old fellow's seniority is extremely high. His strength has already reached the level of a four star Dou Di. Mister should be more careful in the future."
"Thank you for the information!"
Hearing Fang Qian's words, Xiao Yan revealed a solemn expression as he nodded his head. Immediately, he cupped his hands together and expressed his thanks.
Seeing this, Dong Chuan and the other man hurriedly cupped their hands together. After knowing the latter's identity, the two of them were even more respectful towards this rank three alchemist in front of them.
Back then, they only knew that the person in front of them was a rank three alchemist. Their target in their hearts was the medicinal pills that the latter refined. However, from the looks of it now, compared to the medicinal pills, they placed more importance on their relationship with the latter.
After chatting and laughing for a while, the sky gradually darkened. Unknowingly, it was already close to midnight. The moon was above the treetops, scattering a thin layer of silver light that covered the entire Yan City.
Waves of laughter filled the small courtyard as the three of them chatted happily. During this period, the two old men would occasionally cleverly interrogate Xiao Yan about his background. However, Xiao Yan would easily reply with a smile, causing the two old men to be secretly surprised. During this period of time, even the two of them had nearly fallen into Xiao Yan's trap. Immediately, the two of them could not help but reveal an embarrassed smile.
This interesting atmosphere continued for a long time. If no one disturbed them, it was likely that the three of them would be able to chat until daybreak. At this moment, a woman in a red dress arrived outside the Heavenly Clouds Auction House with a ferocious aura all over her body.
"Dong Chuan and Fang Qian! Get out here for this old lady! "
Following an angry roar that shook the entire Yan City, in the blink of an eye, the dimly lit Yan City seemed to have caught on fire. Light after light swiftly spread throughout the city and the already silent city was abruptly awakened at this moment.
Figure after figure continuously flew into the sky, their gazes either impatient or curious as they looked towards the direction of the voice. In the end, the only thing that appeared in the crowd's eyes was a gorgeous lady wearing a red dress.
At the same time, the three people who were chatting in the small courtyard at this moment were suddenly shaken by this thunder-like furious cry until they recovered. The gazes of the three of them simultaneously looked toward the sky. Being a rank three alchemist, Xiao Yan was naturally the first to recognize the identity of the woman.
This red dressed lady was without a doubt Jin Yao.
Immediately, Xiao Yan's originally seated body abruptly stood up, as if he had just awoken from a dream. Only then did his mind recall the words that Jin Yao had said to him before she left earlier in the day. She had asked him to return to the Thousand Medicine House to look for her after he was done with his business. He did not expect that the three of them would actually reach this point in their conversation.
"This is …"
"It's Jin Yao. I nearly forgot about her."
At the same time, the Dong Chuan duo, who were currently seated beside Xiao Yan, recalled the expression on Jin Yao's face when she looked at them earlier in the day. Immediately, the two of them felt as if their wives had come to bring their husbands home.
However, although the two of them could not help but want to tease Xiao Yan in their hearts, they quickly recalled the expression on Xiao Yan's face when he was angry at them earlier. That gaze was truly ice-cold.
The two elders looked at each other and smiled. Only then did they resentfully swallow the words that were at the tip of their tongues. At the same time, they also stood up and turned their gazes towards Xiao Yan.
"Mister Xiao Yan, we are truly sorry. We were too engrossed in our conversation and seemed to have forgotten about Boss Jin. This …"
At the end of his words, Dong Chuan's tone slightly paused as he silently looked towards Fang Qian.
"Sigh … let me go. This is also my fault. I actually forgot about what we agreed on. She must be thinking that something has happened to me here."
Xiao Yan's heart was filled with regret. This matter was also his fault. If he had told Jin Yao the reason in advance, he would not have ended up in this situation.
Xiao Yan helplessly sighed. His body moved and his black robed body turned into a ray of light in the dark night, causing others to be unable to see any trace of him. However, in a short period of time, Xiao Yan's body was already standing high in the sky. His eyes turned and his gaze swiftly landed on the red dressed lady in the sky above the Tianyun Auction House.
Immediately after, the Dong Chuan duo followed closely behind Xiao Yan.
At the same time, an ice-cold killing intent surfaced on Jin Yao's pretty face. She had not seen Xiao Yan's figure since he had entered the Tianyun Auction House for nearly half a day. This caused Jin Yao to be extremely worried in her heart.
The frightening aura was just like a huge mountain that stood above the heads of everyone in the city. At this very moment, other than those experts whose strength had reached the Dou Di class, the faces of everyone else in the entire Yan City had turned pale. Some of the weaker ones were even forced back by this pressure to spit out blood on the spot.
The pressure of a Dou Di's aura was not something that ordinary Half-emperors like them could easily withstand. Of course, Xiao Yan was naturally not included among these Half-emperors.
The coldness in Jin Yao's pretty eyes became even denser when she saw Dong Chuan and Xiao Yan appear in the empty sky. Her entire face was filled with an endless icy-cold killing intent. If anything were to happen to Xiao Yan today, she would definitely cause this Heavenly Cloud Auction House to suffer a great loss regardless of how great the price she had to pay was!
"Dong Chuan! Where is Xiao Yan? Hand him over to me! "
Jin Yao's tone was ice-cold. Even the temperature of this place had strangely become cold.
When the Dong Chuan duo heard this, they involuntarily looked at each other with embarrassed faces. It was true that once a woman was enraged, she would not care about the strength of the other party!
He was a five star Dou Di, yet he was being berated by a two star Dou Di in such a manner. If it was not because the other party had some relationship with Xiao Yan, it was likely that an ordinary person would have already attacked.
"Cough cough … I am fine."
At this moment, Xiao Yan, who was wearing a black robe, finally slowly raised his head. He pulled off the black robe on his body and looked at Jin Yao with an embarrassed smile.
Seeing that Xiao Yan was fine, the large rock that had been lifted in Jin Yao's heart finally fell to the ground. Soon after, her lovely body flashed and appeared in front of Xiao Yan in the blink of an eye.
A pair of pretty eyes swept all over Xiao Yan's body. Only after confirming that the latter was not injured did Jin Yao sigh in relief. However, her eyes also contained caution when she looked at the Dong Chuan duo. This caused the two of them to feel helpless in their hearts.
With their strength, if they really wanted to do something to the person in front of them, why would they wait until now? Could it be that it was merely because of Jin Yao?
A mere two star Dou Di was really nothing in front of a five star Dou Di.
"Ke ke, relax, I am fine. Today, I had a great chat with the two of you. Therefore, we chatted for a while and suddenly got excited, so …"
Xiao Yan smiled faintly. However, he involuntarily revealed an embarrassed expression at the end of his words.
Jin Yao's intelligent pretty eyes flickered when she saw this. Soon after, she came to an understanding in her heart. It seemed that the person in front of her had not been harmed by the two people behind her. However, he had treated her words as wind that passed his ears and had forgotten about them …
"Hmph."
Jin Yao curled her red lips violently. Her pretty face revealed a warm anger. Soon after, Jin Yao turned her lovely body. Her pretty eyes viciously swept over those people in the distant empty space who had been attracted over. Immediately, everyone withdrew in shock wherever her pretty eyes passed. Jin Yao's lovely body moved. She carried the resentment in her heart as she swiftly left this place.
Xiao Yan behind her had a stunned face as he watched Jin Yao turn around and leave. He involuntarily turned around. At the same time, the two old men behind him also threw a pitiful gaze at Xiao Yan.
"Sigh, it's fine if you say it, but you actually spoke the truth. Don't you know that women have hearts made of glass? Can't be touched, can't be touched!"
The two old men looked at each other and could not help but bitterly laugh in their hearts. From now on, they could only rely on Xiao Yan to fend for himself.
"Mister Xiao Yan, you should hurry and chase after her. If you are too late, you may not be able to enter the house."
Even though he did not want to joke about Xiao Yan in his heart, Fang Qian could not help but tease him at the end of his words.
When he heard these words, Xiao Yan's eyebrows furrowed. Indeed, he did not linger on this issue. He clasped his hands together towards the two old men in front of him. Then, he turned around and swiftly chased after Fang Qian.
After Xiao Yan left, Dong Chuan and Fang Qian's gazes once again met. Then, they helplessly shook their heads and sighed. Turning around, they once again headed towards the small courtyard below.
"It seems like you have never told me anything about the Fire Plume Flower?"
Landing in the small courtyard, Dong Chuan could not help but ask with a puzzled expression.
If Fang Qian had not personally mentioned it today, he would not have known that the latter actually had information about the Fire Plume Flower.
"Sigh, that is not true. I have indeed heard someone mention the Fire Plume Flower before. However, that was merely a coincidence. I am simply unable to confirm whether the Fire Plume Flower truly exists. I did not mention it today only to stall for time. Hopefully, we will really be able to find the Fire Plume Flower!"
When he heard Dong Chuan's words, Fang Qian helplessly shook his head. A solemn expression surfaced on his elderly face. The latter could not help but slightly raise his eyebrows as he was extremely shocked in his heart. He did not expect that Fang Qian's words were actually used to threaten Xiao Yan. This was truly crazy!
"You rascal, haven't you thought about how we are going to explain to him if we are unable to find the Fire Plume Flower? Xiao Yan obviously values the Fire Plume Flower greatly. If we are unable to find it … "
"If we are unable to find it, then our relationship with him will be completely severed."
Before Dong Chuan could finish his words, Fang Qian quickly followed up. At the same time, the solemn expression on his face became even more pronounced.
"Tomorrow, I will send people out to search for the Fire Plume Flower in all the large cities in Xilin Region. No matter what, let's give it a try. After all, we cannot disappoint his hopes."
Dong Chuan furrowed his eyebrows as he said.
When he heard this, Fang Qian first nodded his head. However, immediately after, he gently shook his head. After hesitating for a moment in his heart, he solemnly said.
"No, no wait for tomorrow. Immediately send people out!"
