The Xiao Clan's Upheaval
Would Mo Tang not be tempted by the Dou Ling Pill promised by Han Feng?
Of course, I'd be tempted by that...
This is a powerful pill that can directly raise a Dou Wang level by one. If the system absorbs and transforms it, it will definitely give me a pleasant surprise.
Moreover, even without the Dou Ling Pill, Mo Tang would wholeheartedly help Han Feng search for the whereabouts of Xiao Yan and his disciples, solely for his own plan.
But these things couldn't be told to that old guy Hai Bodong, so Mo Tang could only shrug helplessly and say, "With you, the Ice Emperor, here, plus the Mittel Family's commercial tentacles that are spread throughout the entire empire, finding someone shouldn't be difficult."
As for me, how many people do you think the Mo Clan can spare right now to search for one person? It's like looking for a needle in a haystack... so I won't waste my energy."
Hai Bodong looked at the young man in front of him in surprise. Although his reason told him that what the other party said made a lot of sense, subconsciously he still did not believe that this guy would give up so easily.
Why do I always feel like you're up to something again, kid?
Mo Tang rolled his eyes at him, then snorted and said, "Believe it or not! Anyway, I'm going to Black Seal City for the Black Seal Auction. If you don't believe me, I don't mind if you come with me..."
Because of the information asymmetry, Hai Bodong had no idea that Xiao Yan would appear in the Black Corner Region during this time period, let alone guess that the other party would go to Black Seal City.
After all, the Black Corner Region is simply too vast; even if Xiao Yan wanted to go to the Jia Nan Academy, there were far too many routes to choose from...
In the end, Hai Bodong did not choose to travel to Black Seal City with Mo Tang. Instead, he crossed the Black Corner Region Great Plains from Maple City and returned to the Jia Ma Empire.
Meanwhile, in the caravan queuing at the gate of Black Seal City, a young man dressed in black stood on the shaft of a cart, looking around at the crowd preparing to enter the city.
"Hehe, Mr. Yao Yan, where do you plan to go next?" Upon entering the city, the caravan manager, the fat Duoma, stopped the caravan and asked the young man with a smile.
Having witnessed firsthand how the young man instantly killed several Dou Shi, Duoma was well aware of his strength, and Duoma treated him with great courtesy throughout the journey.
Similar to the original story, when Xiao Yan left the Imperial Capital and returned to Wutan City, the Xiao Clan still experienced a huge change... The family head, Xiao Zhan, disappeared without a trace!
Because the Misty Cloud Sect was not involved this time, Xiao Zhan's disappearance was so quiet that no one in the Xiao Clan noticed anything unusual.
This left the three Xiao Clan brothers feeling anxious, angry, and helpless...
After all, you don't even know who the murderer is, so you can't find a target for revenge. In the end, you can only put aside your desire for revenge for the time being.
However, this incident also completely changed the mindset of the three Xiao Clan brothers. They began to disregard everything to increase their strength and influence, so that they could find their enemies and avenge their father!
Of the Xiao Clan brothers, the eldest, Xiao Ding, was steady and meticulous, and with the support of his two brothers, he directly became the new head of the family...
As for Xiao Li, although he has a volatile temper, his Lightning Attribute makes him a formidable fighter, making him the perfect support for his older brother.
With the high-level Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills provided by Xiao Yan, it seems that with the two brothers' abilities, they will definitely be able to make the Xiao Clan rise again within a few years and become a dominant family no less than the Mo Clan!
Of course, none of these are the most important!
For the Xiao Brothers right now, the most important person is actually their third brother Xiao Yan!
After winning the Jia Ma Empire Alchemy Conference Champion, Xiao Yan's reputation was unparalleled in the entire Jia Ma Empire. He even held the title of the youngest Fourth-grade Alchemist. With the addition of a Heavenly Flames, it could be said that if Xiao Yan were to truly grow up, he would be an alchemist even more terrifying than the Alchemist King Gu He!
This instantly made Xiao Yan the darling of the entire empire!
Although the other party had some unsavory dealings with the Misty Cloud Sect Master's disciple, hadn't the Three Year Pact already ended?
Furthermore, Yun Yun, in her capacity as the Misty Cloud Sect Master, officially declared that the feud between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran was now over. As a result, all the forces in the Jia Ma Empire interested in Xiao Yan immediately began to pursue him...
This is especially true of the Jia Ma Imperial Family!
The other party even went so far as to send Imperial Princess to the Xiao Clan for a marriage alliance...
However, Xiao Yan ultimately rejected all of this.
Moreover, after making arrangements for the Xiao Clan, Xiao Yan did not stay in the Jia Ma Empire at all, but chose to go directly to the Black Corner Region to prepare for the Jia Nan Academy.
He knew very well that there was a young girl there, waiting anxiously for his arrival!
"I plan to wander around the city first. By the way, I wonder if Black Seal City has the best medicinal herbs?"
Xiao Yan, using the Yao Yan, jumped off the carriage and looked up at the fat man, asking a question.
"Medicinal herbs? Then of course it's 'Thousand Medicine Pavilion'!" Duoma laughed. "It's a renowned pharmacy throughout the entire Black Corner Region. As long as you have enough money, you can buy rare medicinal herbs there that are hard to find anywhere else."
Raising an eyebrow, Xiao Yan felt a vague sense of familiarity with the name of the pharmacy.
"Well, thank you. In that case, let's say goodbye here for now, and talk again another time."
Xiao Yan cupped his hands in greeting to Duoma, and without waiting for him to say anything polite, he turned around and squeezed into the crowd, then quickly disappeared.
Watching the other person's disappearing figure, Fatty Duoma shook his head with a wry smile, "Sigh, I hope we really will have a chance to meet again..."
In this Black Corner Region, countless people die every year.
Among these people, the mortality rate is the highest among newcomers!
Especially those talented young people, who are young and impetuous, don't know how to restrain their brilliance, and clearly have a short life ahead of them...
However, with his Duoma felt that this young man was much better. Not only was he strong, but he was also quite ruthless. If he could adapt to the survival rules of the Black Corner Region quickly, he might actually make a name for himself there.
At the same time that Xiao Yan was heading to the Thousand Medicine Pavilion, another special person arrived outside Black Seal City.
Watching the figure descend from the sky and the Dou Qi Wings slowly dissipating behind him, in an instant, the originally crowded city gate was quickly cleared into a wide passage.
At the same time, the guards who were originally waiting at the gate to collect the entry fee quickly rushed out to guard both sides of the passage, and a middle-aged man who looked like a leader rushed out...
"Welcome to Black Seal City, sir!"
The newcomer was clearly slightly surprised by the scene before him, but he quickly recovered, nodded, and walked past the other person into the city.
The middle-aged leader did not feel slighted at all; on the contrary, he kept bowing and seeing the other party off until the other party disappeared.
Watching the mysterious Dou Wang disappear, the middle-aged man waved his hand, signaling everyone to return to their previous order. He then hurriedly left to deliver the news of the mysterious Dou Wang's arrival in the city.
