First, there was the intimidation of the Northern King. Then, there was the temptation of the medicinal pellet. With the two added together, the middle-aged man was indeed well-behaved.
In the depths of the cave, only after Xiao Yan confirmed that the middle-aged man did not do anything else, did he relax and wholeheartedly immerse himself in refining the medicinal pellet within his body.
At this moment, the search of several hundred Half Martial Emperors was also in full swing. This time around, the invisible battle between Xiao Yan and this group of people would be a tug of war. The final outcome would be determined by whether or not this group of people could find Xiao Yan before he recovered from his injuries.
Time was like the sand between one's fingers. Unknowingly, a lot of time had already passed. Within the cave, Xiao Yan was immersed in refining the medicinal pellet within his body. As for the people outside, they had finally expanded their search range to this place.
The mountain wind whistled. It was like the low roar of wild beasts as it blew through the mountain forest. At the foot of the mountain was an enormous cave. A valiant aura was faintly emitted from within, causing one to feel solemn. At this moment, three middle-aged men in black robes slowly descended from the sky. Their gazes landed on the interior of the cave.
Among the three of them, one was an eight star Half Martial Emperor and the other two were seven star Half Martial Emperors. With such a lineup, they would be able to move unhindered in this mountain range.
"Huo Yun, do you think that Xiao Yan might be here?"
A frail-looking seven star Half Martial Emperor among the three asked with a frown on his face. Carefully, he asked a middle-aged man with the strength of an eight star Half Martial Emperor. When he said those words, he intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the pitch-black cave. The person inside the cave caused him to be extremely nervous.
"I don't know. Let's look around first. Didn't we detect a trace of Xiao Yan's aura earlier? This means that he is definitely in the vicinity. We have already searched the surroundings, except for this place. As for whether he is here or not, we will know once we give it a try."
The middle-aged man called Huo Yun shook his head. His tone was rather firm.
"But the guy inside … seems to be a nine star Half Martial Emperor. His strength …"
"What's there to be nervous about? Even if he's a Nine Star Half Martial Emperor, could it be that he would dare to touch a member of our Huo Clan? Moreover, with the three of us working together, how could we possibly fear him?!"
Before the thin middle-aged man could finish his words, he was immediately reprimanded by Huo Yun. The latter's head shrank and he did not dare to say anything else. He scratched his head, while his gaze was still somewhat nervous as he looked at the cave entrance.
After that, the three of them, led by Huo Yun, headed towards the cave.
The three of them arrived at the entrance of the cave one after another. As they got closer, an extremely thick smell of blood gushed out from the cave and assaulted the three of them.
Smelling the nauseating stench of blood, the expressions of the three changed. Such a strong stench of blood, just how ferocious was this magical beast!
Although this was the case, it did not stop the footsteps of the three of them. Before they left, Huo Ting had already issued a reward. As long as any one of them was able to find Xiao Yan, they would obtain five tier 3 medicinal pills. How could they be willing to accept such a temptation?
However, just as the three of them stepped into the cave entrance, a beastly roar that caused one's heart to tremble was suddenly emitted from the deep interior of the cave.
"Roar! Where did these humans come from? How dare you trespass into this king's territory! "
A furious cry was emitted. In the blink of an eye, an extremely powerful and frightening aura wildly attacked from deep within the cave, forcefully forcing the three of them back.
The three of them were startled. Their footsteps hurriedly pulled back. While their expressions changed, the Dou Qi within their bodies swiftly surged out at this moment to block this aura.
"We are from the Huo clan, one of the four great clans. We are here to do our job impartially and only to search for one person. We do not wish to start a conflict with you. If we have offended you, please forgive us!"
Huo Yun's expression changed drastically. He was surprised in his heart. The three of them had only just stepped into this fellow's territory. How could he be so powerful and overbearing? However, after thinking about it, this fellow was just like a fiend. That heavy stench of blood from earlier made it no wonder that his temper was so irritable. After staying in this kind of environment for too long, it was likely that even they would not be able to endure it.
However, they did not know that the reason this fellow in the cave was so irritable was because Xiao Yan had occupied his nest. Even though Xiao Yan had said that he would use tier 3 medicinal pills as a reward, he was still suppressing the resentment in his heart. The appearance of these three people at this moment had allowed him to find a target to vent his anger.
"Oh, people from the four great clans."
A soft cry of surprise was emitted from deep within the cave. The middle-aged man frowned. He did not expect that the people Xiao Yan had asked him to block would actually be people from the four great clans. This was going to be a little troublesome!
The hearts of the three people outside the cave immediately rejoiced when they heard the voice that was emitted from the interior of the cave. They thought in their hearts that this fellow was indeed afraid of the boldness of their four great clans. Immediately, the three of them exchanged glances and smiled. They lifted their feet and prepared to enter the cave once again.
"Stop right there!"
It was also at this moment that the middle-aged man within the cave cried out a command. The hearts of the three people leaped and their footsteps once again came to a halt.
"Even if you are people from the Huo clan, you should be clear that this is the territory of the Bai clan. This mountain range is under the jurisdiction of the old me. What right do you people from the Huo clan have to enter the territory of the Bai clan to search for someone!"
"We …"
"Enough! I don't want to hear any more from you. On account that you are also from the four great clans, if you turn around and leave now, I can pretend that nothing has happened. Otherwise, even if you are from the Huo clan, don't blame me for being impolite! "
Without waiting for Huo Yun to open his mouth, the middle-aged man within the mountain cave spoke a sentence that forcefully stuffed the latter's words back into his mouth. At the same time, a powerful aura once again attacked, causing the trio's expressions to abruptly change drastically. They had already sensed a dense killing intent from this aura and pressure. They did not doubt that if the three of them continued to stay here, they would definitely end up calling out this lunatic. At that time, they would really have no way to survive.
In the face of this situation, the expression on Huo Yun's face fluctuated indeterminately. Who would have expected that this madman would actually completely ignore their status as members of the Huo clan. Although the three of them were high level Half Emperors, in the face of absolute strength, no matter how many of them they had, it was useless. Although the words that he had spoken previously were very courageous, in reality, even Huo Yun was incomparably nervous in his heart. It was only because the two people beside him were present that he deliberately pretended to be fearless.
"Old brother Huo Yun, what should we do now?"
To the side, the skinny middle-aged man's face had already turned deathly pale from fright. Helpless, he could only seek help from Huo Yun.
When he heard these words, Huo Yun really wished that he could immediately turn around and give him a slap. However, the current situation was dangerous and they had no choice but to work together. Huo Yun hurriedly thought about it in his heart. In the end, the method that Huo Yun thought of was to retreat backwards. Helpless, with that fellow in the cave present, they were destined to be unable to enter this place. However, when Huo Yun thought about it again, he could not help but laugh at himself in his heart. If even they were unable to enter this cave, how could the injured Xiao Yan possibly enter? If that was the case, he would have long been killed by that fellow in the cave.
After which, the three of them respectfully cupped their hands together towards the pitch-black cave and hurriedly left, leaving behind three miserable figures.
It was only at this moment that the middle-aged man in the cave secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the three of them were not as strong as him. Otherwise, if he was unable to subdue them today, once Xiao Yan was awakened, not only would they be finished, even his little life would not be able to be saved!
The middle-aged man arrived in front of the cave and gazed at the sky above the mountain forest in the distance. Figures that were like grains of black rice were constantly flashing, as if they were searching for something. However, when they passed by his vicinity, they were extremely sensible and left.
When he saw this scene, the middle-aged man secretly rejoiced in his heart. At the same time, a feeling of suspicion involuntarily rose in his heart. At this moment, who exactly was the identity of the black-robed man in his cave, to actually cause one of the Four Great Clans, the Huo Clan, to mobilize so many people?
