Between heaven and earth, Xiao Yan's mocking voice leisurely drifted. On the ground below, Lin Zehong, who was standing in front of Xiao Yan's cave, had a green and white expression on his face. The muscles at the corner of his eyes involuntarily twitched intensely. His gaze swept all around him, hoping to find traces of Xiao Yan.
"Haha, are you looking for me again? Aren't I right in front of you?"
Suddenly, an extremely clear sound of lips biting was transmitted from beside Lin Zehong's ear. It was as if someone was speaking into his ear.
Lin Zehong's face was suddenly filled with shock. At the same time, the expression on his face changed, and his body hurriedly retreated. Only when he had retreated to the edge of the open space did he raise his head to take a look. He saw a young man wearing a black robe standing at the spot where he was standing a moment ago.
This person was Xiao Yan, who had disappeared for a month!
"Xiao Yan …"
Lin Zehong's expression was extremely grave as he muttered in a deep voice. At the same time, the Dou Qi within the vortex within his body was also swiftly raised at this moment. He was prepared to face Xiao Yan at any moment.
Although Xiao Yan's strength appeared to only be that of a six star Half Martial Emperor, anyone in the current Western Region who had some understanding of him clearly knew that behind this seemingly weak strength of his, there was a powerful destructive force that caused even Dou Di to feel fear. When facing him, no Dou Di would dare to be careless.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan parted his mouth and smiled, revealing a playful arc. Coincidentally, after swallowing the Jade Bone Fruit, his strength had already stepped into the late stage of a six star Half Martial Emperor. Even the might of his Force Elephant Technique had increased slightly. He wondered what kind of might his Force Elephant Technique would be able to erupt with if he were to fight now.
"This guy …"
Seeing the indescribable arc on the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth, Lin Zehong's heart tightened. This kind of smile was extremely frightening in his eyes. Only God knew what this guy in front of him was thinking. Lin Zehong did not wish to lose his life in this place!
Soon after, however, Xiao Yan suddenly frowned just as he was about to attack. Within his Spiritual Perception, there was another person who was swiftly flying in the direction of the two of them.
"It's him …"
Xiao Yan was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that even he would come.
A short while later, a human figure appeared in front of Xiao Yan and Lin Zehong's sight. At the same time, Ah Bao, who was hiding far behind the two of them, also noticed the newcomer. Immediately, a stunned expression appeared in his eyes. He was within the Bai Clan's sphere of influence and was naturally well aware of this person's identity.
This person was the young master of the Bai Clan, Bai Zhan.
"Damn it! How did he discover the commotion here?! "
When he saw Bai Zhan, Lin Zehong's already heavy heart instantly sank to the bottom. However, he immediately relaxed a little and thought of a solution.
"Clan Leader Lin, why are you here? There's actually … Xiao Yan!"
When Bai Zhan saw Lin Zehong, his eyes flickered slightly as he asked a question that he already knew the answer to. Then, his gaze turned and landed on Xiao Yan. Deep within his eyes, a trace of astonishment could not help but flash. He didn't expect Xiao Yan to still be in this mountain range.
"Lord Crown Prince, you came at the right time. A few days ago, I heard that there was some movement in the depths of this mountain range. I'm afraid that Xiao Yan is still here. Hence, I specially came here today to observe. I did not report to Clan Leader Bai in advance. This is my fault!"
Lin Zehong did not hear anything from Bai Zhan's words. He pretended to cup his fists at Bai Zhan as he muttered to himself. From his words, it seemed as if he was admitting his mistake, but also as if he was asking for credit.
"No matter. Everything will be fine as long as we find Xiao Yan!"
A sharp glow shot out from Bai Zhan's eyes. Lin Zehong only thought that Bai Zhan was targeting Xiao Yan. He immediately coldly laughed in his heart.
"Hmph, you are indeed just trash. You actually still have the thought of capturing Xiao Yan at such a time. Once you die in Xiao Yan's hands, hmph hmph, the Bai clan …"
Lin Zehong coldly laughed in his heart. He immediately recovered and turned his gaze to Xiao Yan. It seemed that he was afraid that the latter would reveal the truth. Fortunately, Xiao Yan did not open his mouth. His gaze had landed on Bai Zhan since the beginning.
Lin Zehong did not know, but Bai Zhan knew that Bai Zhan's strength appeared to be that of a nine star Half Emperor. However, his strength had already reached the middle stage of a two star Dou Di. Lin Zehong alone was not a match for him. Even Xiao Yan himself would have difficulty being a match for Bai Zhan without relying on the Northern King.
"Heir, since you and I have met Xiao Yan today, why don't we take advantage of this opportunity to attack together and capture him? At that time, you can bring him back to the clan and hand him over to the sect. This will be a great merit!"
Lin Zehong revealed an earnest smile to Bai Zhan. The gaze he used to look at the latter was as if he was looking at a fool.
"Oh?"
Bai Zhan's eyes brightened. It was as if he had really been tricked. However, he quickly frowned and asked in a doubtful voice,
"Clan Head Lin, you won't be doing this for nothing, right?"
"Hmph hmph, pretending to be smart!"
Lin Zehong coldly laughed in his heart and hurriedly said,
"Haha, what are you saying, Heir? We belong to the same group and are all members of the sect. There is no need to treat us as outsiders. Right now, it is more important to deal with Xiao Yan first!"
Although Lin Zehong said this, he did not think this way in his heart. He was not a match for Xiao Yan alone. Of course, he did not expect Bai Zhan, a nine star Half Emperor, to be of any help. He only hoped that Bai Zhan would be able to hold back Xiao Yan so that he could find an opportunity to leave this place. At that time, even if Bai Zhan died, this matter would only be blamed on Xiao Yan. Lin Zehong only needed to go back and fabricate this matter to Huo Ting to get away. Naturally, he would be fine.
This way, not only would his clan be safe, but he would also be able to get rid of the heir of the Bai Clan. When the Bai Clan was destroyed in the future, it would be the time for his Lin Clan to rise to power!
When he thought about the arrival of that day, Lin Zehong felt a little excited.
"Heir, let's take action now and take down Xiao Yan!"
With a cold cry from his mouth, Lin Zehong's body shook. The Dou Qi in his body immediately gathered on his arms. His pair of eyes stared intently at Xiao Yan on the opposite side. The corner of his mouth slowly lifted into an extremely cold smile.
At the same time, Bai Zhan, who was beside him, also grinned. He lifted his gaze and stared at Xiao Yan. The smile on his face gradually widened. Seeing this, the latter could not help but frown slightly. The Dou Qi in the cyclone in his body quietly turned to the left. At the same time, the Northern King in the storage ring was also secretly preparing.
However …
In the next moment …
"Chi!"
The sound of bones breaking could be heard. Lin Zehong, who was beside Bai Zhan, had already been beheaded.
