"That's natural."
Yao Wan saw Nalan Yanran's reaction, so he had expected it.
Anyway, she didn't think that Nalan Yanran would reject her at all. After all, she had a particularly strong obsession with becoming stronger. But now, except for the improvement in Dou Qi, no one could bring her any improvement in swordsmanship. This naturally made her anxious.
She is not the kind of person who can sit back and relax, so she would take the bait... Ah, no, isn't it already expected that she would agree?
"If that's the case, then go and tell your teacher, and we'll set off right away."
Yao Wan didn't waste much time and stood up immediately.
"Okay, no problem."
With Yao Wan by his side, Nalan Yanran was naturally very happy and went out without saying anything more.
After Nalan Yanran left, the Xiyang-like smile on Yao Wan's face slowly disappeared. Well, having said that, you need to make more preparations.
Xiao Yan Yao Lao is there, so she is not worried.
As for Nalan... then you need to worry more.
Yao Wan was thinking in his heart, and not long after, the door was pushed open again.
Nalan Yanran approached the door and said with a smile, "I have already told the teacher, as long as I come back before Three-Year Agreement, you can rest assured."
"Well, that's no problem."
Yao Wan then smiled.
"Where are we going? Could it be that you want to take me Magical Beast Mountain Range to hunt monsters?"
Nalan Yanran said curiously, if a disciple of the Yun Lan Sect were standing here now, he would probably be shocked.
Young Sect Master, who was usually serious in his sect and always immersed in cultivation, now naturally showed a faint smile.
It seems that for her, going out for a trial with Yao Wan is as relaxing and comfortable as going out for an outing compared to the trial.
"Magical Beast Mountain Range? Who goes to a place like that?"
Yao Wan shook his head and said, "I'll take you to a more interesting place this time."
"More interesting?"
Nalan Yanran is not yet sure what Yao Wan means by this more interesting place, but judging from her understanding of Yao Wan, she imagines it to be some kind of difficult or even dangerous place, right?
"... Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. Anyway, you will know after a while."
Yao Wan said with a smile.
Nalan Yanran saw that Yao Wan was still showing off, and couldn't help but shook his head, forget it, you will always know when you get there anyway.
Nalan Yanran and Yao Wan set off from Yun Lan Mountain, but the direction Yao Wan was taking was very strange. Nalan Yanran didn't even know where Yao Wan was taking her.
But just as the two of them flew out of Yun Lan Mountain, Yao Wan stopped.
"What's wrong? I just arrived at the Imperial Capital and I won't leave."
Nalan Yanran couldn't help but ask.
"It's not that I won't leave, it's just that it's a waste of time to go there like this."
Yao Wan turned around, and then scanned the surroundings with his pale golden eyes. Everything was normal.
"Don't shout too loudly when you leave later."
"Shouting too loudly...?"
Nalan Yanran murmured softly for a while, but saw a deep whirlpool suddenly opened behind Yao Wan.
She immediately opened her eyes wide, looking at the vortex, as if she was watching the space itself collapse, turning into a huge undercurrent that suddenly rolled up under the calm water, sucking her in forever, with no way to break free.
"——Don't move around. If you move around, I won't be able to protect you in the broken space, although I guess you won't be able to move around because I'm trapped by Space Lock."
Fortunately, Nalan Yanran did not cry out in disgrace, but even so, her wide-open eyes that shrunk to pinpoint-sized pupils still showed that her heart was far from as calm as it seemed.
Yao Wan As soon as they finished speaking, the vortex of space wrapped around their bodies, submerged them, and then disappeared into the clear sky.
Immediately, everything returned to calm.
Black-Corner Region, a hot land located in the Northwest Continent, is full of vitality and everything is flourishing.
Due to the special location advantages and the excellent matching mechanism of the Dou Qi Continent northwest region, many Northwest Continent empires were unable to form effective actual control over this area, and they were unwilling to let this area connecting important places from south to north be encroached by other empires. Over the years, they have worked intensively here, and finally achieved Black-Corner Region's famous brand name.
Because this vast area is surrounded by mountains and is filled with wilderness, but is connected by transportation routes as blood vessels, it has almost become one of the most chaotic areas in the entire continent. Countless fleeing strong men from various countries have settled here, creating the most barbaric rules. In addition, besides humans, various races on the continent have gathered here, making it like a miniature version of the continent.
Here, except for the mountains and cities built by various forces, only the primitive law of the jungle prevails here, where the weak eat the strong.
At the same time, this is also the intelligence exchange center for the entire Northwest Continent. Information from the entire continent will be gathered here, and then sent to every corner of the Northwest Continent by those who are willing and able to survive here.
All in all, it is an area with no regard for anything.
Xiao Yan, wearing a mask, walked on the streets here and quickly felt the atmosphere.
The chaotic environment makes this place a breeding ground for malice, which is annoying.
Walking through the streets here, even if they didn't want to cause trouble, they were forced to break the legs of a few guys who wanted to take advantage of the situation.
"Oh."
Xiao Yan gently exhaled a breath of turbid air. He was still a little unaccustomed to wearing the mask Wan Guniang gave him. Then he punched the Mystic Heavy Ruler at his hand, crushing the leg of the strong man on the ground into a ball of disgusting blood foam, causing him to scream.
"It's so noisy."
Xiao Yan frowned, and his already not so comfortable mood became a little more irritable, and then he directly slapped the strong man to death with one ruler.
"Teacher, Wan Guniang Where is the place she mentioned?"
Fidgeting with the small piece of cloth in his hand, Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask.
In the hand of Xiao Yan, a piece of tattered cloth about the size of a palm was lying quietly. Although it looked like parchment that had been left for too long, it would be torn if you were not careful.
But in fact, although Xiao Yan has not tried this before - this piece of cloth seems to be much tougher than I imagined. Unless Heavenly Flames is used, there is no special method that can tear and destroy it.
This was given to him by Yao Wan before he left, and he told him, "Take this piece of cloth and keep walking, it will be the final trial."
Although Xiao Yan was confused about what Yao Wan said, he still chose to follow it, just going around in circles. Apart from making him a little confused, there was no clue.
"Girl, since I only let you go first, I think you are already prepared, so just do it."
Yao Lao looked at the piece of cloth in Xiao Yan's hand, and a glimmer of surprise flashed in his eyes that were not cloudy.
Regarding the origin of this mysterious piece of cloth, Yao Lao's eyesight can actually get a glimpse of it.
That is something that can only be spread among powerful ethnic groups from ancient times.
The ancient words above can only be understood by the inheritors of the ancient bloodline after breaking through to a certain level... Having said that, Yao Lao can barely distinguish one or two words in it with the help of Soul Power. After all, he is just an abandoned son of the clan, and has not experienced the most orthodox bloodline awakening ceremony in the clan. Now even the body carrying that bloodline has long since disappeared in the betrayal of the past.
Yao Lao's eyes dimmed slightly, and he looked at the ancient words without saying a word.
——Xiao.
What he recognized was just one of the characters.
Just, Xiao?
If you associate the ancient characters with the ethnic groups inherited from ancient times, the word "Xiao" will naturally point to the only answer.
One of the descendants of the Gu Clan in the past, Xiao Clan also disappeared in the long river of history.
Xiao Clan, Xiao, Xiao Yan.
He murmured something secretly in his heart, and Yao Lao couldn't help but sigh that it was time and destiny.
Even though he disappeared for who knows how many years, this thing buried in the deepest part of his blood has never been forgotten.
Is this also the reason why the girl wants to give this thing to Xiao Yan?
After all, no matter how smart she is, she is not of the Xiao Clan's blood.
It would be best to leave this kind of thing to Xiao Yan.
"... By the way, Xiao Yan."
Yao Lao suddenly thought of a possibility and said, "Bite your finger and put a drop of blood on it to see."
"No problem?"
Xiao Yan was a little worried that his own blood would contaminate the piece of cloth of unknown origin, and finally broke it by playing with it.
But then I thought about it and it seemed a bit unreasonable. After all, even if I use Heavenly Flames to burn this thing, it will have to be burned for a while, and there is no reason for it to be so brittle——
When he thought of this, Xiao Yan was immediately heartbroken, biting his finger, and a drop of blood dripped out, which stained the yellowed soft cloth. As expected, a blood stain stained red by Xiao Yan's blood appeared on the cloth, but it was not a circle that could be seen slowly spreading, but a blood-red character appeared on the surface of the cloth at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"... Xiao."
Yao Lao's voice trembled, seriously.
Xiao Yan frowned slightly, and he could feel that he seemed to have some kind of resonance with the piece of cloth.
It was a resonance originating from the depths of the bloodline, which made Xiao Yan feel a throbbing along the bloodline and in the heart.
It is sorrow and weeping.
Xiao Yan couldn't help but cover his forehead subconsciously.
"What's wrong? Xiao Yan?"
"Well... it's okay, I just felt a little dazed suddenly."
After hearing Yao Lao's voice, Xiao Yan immediately recovered from his trance, and then he couldn't help but shook his head slightly and said.
