Dare Angry, Dare Not Speak
"Whoosh!"
The aura of Five Star Dou Sheng expert erupted, directly alarming many Yao Clan experts on this giant mountain. Immediately, the sound of wind breaking filled the sky as figures appeared above the plaza. Looking at the blood-soaked ground below, they were first shocked, then their faces filled with anger. No matter what had happened, these people were still members of their Yao Clan. To be beaten like this at their own doorstep was a disrespect to their Yao Clan.
"Elder Wan Gui, what's going on?"
Amidst their shock and anger, all eyes turned to Yao Wangui.
"Elders, you have come at the right time! This Xiao Yuan is so arrogant that he dares to kill our clansmen within the Yao Clan. Capture him at once, or what face will our Yao Clan have in front of all these guests?"
Upon seeing the figures in the sky, Yao Wangui was overjoyed and hurriedly shouted.
"Xiao Yuan? That Xiao Yuan from the Xiao Clan?"
Upon hearing Yao Wangui's shout, the elders of the Yao Clan in the sky exclaimed in surprise. They were clearly familiar with the name Xiao Yuan, and their gazes immediately turned to the latter. Especially when they saw that the terrifying aura was emanating from his body, their astonishment deepened.
"Xiao Yuan, your Xiao Clan had a fairly good relationship with my Yao Clan back then, but what you've done today is a bit too much."
In the sky, an old man in a yellow robe spoke with a slightly gloomy expression.
"What the hell are you talking about? Didn't I tell you last time? If you provoke me again, I'll attack the Yao Clan! Where do you get the audacity to put on airs in front of me?" Xiao Yuan's words were extremely foul, and he didn't change color at all because of the many Yao Clan elders floating in the sky. His gaze was fixed on Yao Wangui, and he said coldly, "Perfect, almost everyone has arrived."
"Xiao Yuan, what do you want?!"
Upon seeing this, Yao Wangui down his spine. In Xiao Yuan's eyes, he clearly saw a strong killing intent.
"I've said it before, if I want to kill you, no one on the entire continent can stop me!"
After speaking, Xiao Yuan raised his hand and slowly closed his palm.
"Snap!"
Yao Wangui immediately felt a terrifying force acting on his body, and his bones groaned in agony at the first moment! "Xiao Yuan, Elder Wangui may be at fault in this matter, but you have also killed so many people from my Yao Clan. It's time to vent your anger. How about we each take a step back?"
An elder of the Yao Clan frowned. He knew Yao Wangui's temperament well, and it would be extremely difficult to get him to apologize.
Xiao Yuan is currently too powerful, and they can't possibly take Xiao Yuan down for the sake of a few Iron Guards. If they are really pushed too far, a Five Star Dou Sheng expert would be enough to cause the Yao Clan heavy losses.
They already knew about the affairs of the Spirit and Stone races. Among the Ancient Race, the Yao Clan was the weakest. It would be unwise to provoke Xiao Yuan at this time.
"You have no right to say such things to me!"
Xiao Yuan glanced at them, glared at them, and roared.
A faint dragon's roar echoed through the air, and the overwhelming pressure of the Beast Realm's overlord caused all the elders to lose their footing and fall to the ground.
The surrounding void became incredibly viscous, and the energy of heaven and earth was no longer under their control.
In front of Xiao Yuan, if they don't fight desperately, they won't even have a chance to make a move.
"Xiao Yuan, stop!"
Just as Xiao Yuan attacked Yao Wangui, an old man's loud shout suddenly rang out in the sky. Then, everyone was surprised to see a large cloud of fire rushing down from the mountain peak. In the distance, an old man with red hair was seen rushing towards them.
"It's Wanhu Elder!"
Upon seeing the red-haired old man, gasps of surprise rippled through the plaza; no one had expected that even he would be alerted.
"Six Star Dou Sheng?"
When the red-haired old man appeared, Xiao Yuan's expression remained unchanged, and his clasped hands had already turned into fists.
"Ah!!!"
The piercing screams abruptly ceased, and golden flames suddenly appeared, annihilating Yao Wangui along with his soul.
Upon seeing this scene, the red-haired elder who had rushed over roared, his anger rising. He hadn't expected that Xiao Yuan would completely disregard his words. He clenched his fist, and fiery red Dou Qi rapidly condensed, instantly transforming into a massive flaming spear a hundred feet long. With a flick of his arm, the spear shot towards Xiao Yuan at an astonishing speed.
"Bang!"
Xiao Yuan stomped his foot hard on the ground, and a massive pillar of magma fire, hundreds of feet long, shot out and smashed the giant spear to pieces.
"Wanhu Elder, is it?" Xiao Yuan looked at the fiery-haired elder in the sky and questioned him first, "Didn't I tell you what I said last time? Are you deaf?"
Seeing Xiao Yuan's calm demeanor as if he were questioning a subordinate, Yao Wanhuo's face darkened. Without saying a word, he slapped his palm towards Xiao Yuan. As his palm swept out, it quickly became somewhat ethereal, and a terrifying spatial fluctuation rippled out as if it were a tangible substance.
Xiao Yuan unleashed Great Heaven Creation Palm strike.
Never mind all that, let's slap him first.
"Xiao Yuan, this is the Yao Clan!"
Having hastily parried Xiao Yuan's attack with all his might, the red-haired old man glared angrily and shouted sternly.
"I said last time that your Yao Clan has no right to put on airs in front of me. I came to the Yao Clan this time not to cause trouble, but since Yao Wangui spoke first and insulted my teacher, I will not let it go!"
Under the watchful eyes of many, Xiao Yuan stared coldly at Yao Wanhuo and said in a chilling voice.
Seeing Xiao Yuan immediately turn hostile, even Wanhu Elder's eyes twitched involuntarily, and a look of fear appeared in his eyes. In the previous exchange, he found that even he had not gained the slightest advantage. However, he dared not lose his temper, after all, Yao Tian and Yao Ling were still in Xiao Yuan's hands! "Perfect, let's establish a rule here today, especially for some of you brainless members of your Yao Clan. You won't know how to restrain yourselves until some of you die. As for my teacher's affairs, those who don't know should shut up, and those who do know should not spout nonsense. I don't know, so it's fine, but if I hear even a single disrespectful word directed at him, as long as that person is still in the Douqi Continent, I will hunt him down to death!"
Xiao Yuan stared intently at Yao Wanhuo, his words filled with undisguised killing intent. Even though Xiao Yuan's Heavenly Flames had previously made the world even hotter, everyone felt an unbearable chill.
But at this moment, Yao Wanhuo looked into Xiao Yuan's eyes and suddenly revealed a look of horror.
"Cough, Young Clan Leader Xiao Yuan truly lives up to his reputation. To possess such strength at such a young age, and to have so many powerful figures by his side, is truly enviable. Such a brilliant and talented individual appears in the declining Xiao Clan."
But then, the anger on Wanhu Elder's face slowly subsided, and he actually revealed a smile, cupping his hands in greeting.
"Young Clan Leader Xiao Yuan, today is a big day for my Yao Clan. This matter is indeed Yao Wangui's problem. Why don't we attend the conference first and discuss other matters later?"
The people around were slightly surprised to hear Wanhu Elder's voice suddenly soften and become unrecognizable. They then looked at Xiao Yuan with strange eyes, clearly not expecting that even Six Star Dou Sheng expert would have to smile at Xiao Yuan.
"Wanhu Elder!"
Upon hearing this, the elders of the Yao Clan's expressions changed, and they couldn't help but speak up. In their view, if Wanhu Elder were to take action, he would surely be able to capture Xiao Yuan, thus letting these guests know that the prestige of the Yao Clan could not be violated. However, "Shut up, I know what I'm doing!"
Upon seeing these guys interrupting, Wanhu Elder's expression darkened, and he angrily rebuked them.
The glance Xiao Yuan gave him just now nearly shattered his soul!
With his level of understanding, he naturally realized that it was not an illusion!
Hearing Wanhu Elder's stern shout, the other elders, though unwilling, could only shut their mouths. The former's status in the clan was unmatched except by the clan leader.
Xiao Yuan stood there, neither commenting nor denying, coldly observing everything.
"Since Wanhu Elder has personally intervened, let's leave it at that."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yao Lao remained calm and smiled faintly. He said that he knew Xiao Yuan's strength had now truly reached the pinnacle of the continent. He had wanted to kill Yao Wangui countless times, and although he had now Yao Wangui go of his resentment, he would not blame his disciple for the sake of a former enemy.
Upon hearing this, Wanhu Elder breathed a slight sigh of relief and glanced at Yao Lao with a somewhat complicated expression. He had never imagined that the discarded pawn whom the Yao Clan had once regarded as dispensable would have achieved such success. Not only had he himself reached the Dou Sheng level, but he had also taught a disciple who had surpassed him.
Under his disciple, the entire Yao Clan became dim and lackluster.
"If we had paid a little more attention back then, perhaps the situation would be completely different today."
Wanhu Elder sighed inwardly. If the clan had paid more attention to Yao Chen in the past, he would likely have always held the Yao Clan in high regard. In that case, the relationship between the Starfall Pavilion and the Yao Clan would probably be quite good. But alas, it's getting late. If you all intend to study the Medicine Ceremony, please follow me to the mountaintop. Hehe, I've heard that young friend Xiao Yuan is an elder of the Little Pill Tower, and young friend Xiao Yan has also won the Pill Gathering and is a renowned Ninth Grade Alchemist in Central State. However, the Yao Clan's Medicine Ceremony is of a higher standard than the Pill Gathering. Every edition of the Medicine Ceremony is a gathering place for the top alchemists on the Douqi Continent. If the two young friends can stand out in this Medicine Ceremony, the title of the Number One Alchemist on the continent will probably have to be changed.
Wanhu Elder stroked his beard, but there was a hint of uncertainty in his voice. The soul power that Xiao Yuan had just displayed was truly terrifying. Xiao Yuan waved his hand and said casually, "No need. If I were to make a move, none of you would have a chance."
"Yes, but I also want to see Young Clan Leader Xiao Yuan's alchemy skills!"
Wanhu Elder smiled obsequiously and said something very flexible. Then, he moved and soared into the sky, flying towards the mountaintop. Many other elders of the Yao Clan followed closely behind.
Watching the backs of those Yao Clan elders, Xiao Yuan's lips curled slightly. Were they trying to regain some ground in alchemy?
That's perfect, Xiao Yuan just happens to have a good homemade remedy. "Let's go, let's go meet those so-called top Alchemic Grandmaster on the continent."
Xiao Yuan smiled, turned his head to look at Yao Lao and Xiao Yan, and the two of them also smiled and nodded. Then the three of them took off together, following Yao Wanhuo, and quickly flew towards the mountaintop.
At the summit of Medicine Mountain, clouds and mist swirl, and a strange fragrance of elixirs spreads, giving people a sense of tranquility and joy, as if they were in a fairyland.
At the summit of Medicine Mountain, vast expanses of Medicinal Herbs converge like an ocean. Above these seas of herbs, a colossal plaza floats in mid-air. At the four corners of the plaza stand four enormous medicinal cauldrons, emitting fragrant aromas that rise straight into the sky.
Now, many people are standing on this suspended platform, and lively conversations are constantly coming from it, making it seem very lively. Looking north along the stone platform, there are rows of stone chairs. On both sides of these stone chairs, beautiful maids flit by like butterflies, their nimble hands filling the jade cups on the stone tables.
"Whoosh!"
As Xiao Yuan and Yao Lao reached the mountain peak, their eyes swept around, and they were about to find a place to land at random when Wanhu Elder hurriedly said, "Pavilion Master Yao, Young Clan Leader Xiao Yuan, Young Pavilion Master Xiao Yan, this way please."
"Yao Chen, Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yan? I didn't expect the three of them to come together?"
"According to rumors, Yao Chen was once a member of the Yao Clan, but he was expelled from the clan for some reason."
"Is that really true? Heh, if this is true, wouldn't the Yao Clan be regretting it to death? Three Ninth Grade Alchemist!"
Wanhu Elder's voice immediately drew many eyes to the direction where Xiao Yuan and the other person were. The Starfall Pavilion now had a powerful presence in the Central State, and was clearly the overlord of the Central State. Everyone present had heard of this, and whispers began to rise.
Xiao Yuan ignored the various gazes directed at him and instead looked at Yao Lao.
"Hehe, even putting aside the Starfall Pavilion, you, as the Young Clan Leader, deserve a good position."
The Yao Lao smiled and said.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded. Although he had emerged from seclusion, he felt that his Third Brother was becoming increasingly terrifying. He no longer needed to worry about many things; he could simply follow his Third Brother's arrangements.
The three sat down next to Wanhu Elder, and a clever maidservant immediately stepped forward to serve them respectfully.
Upon seeing the three take their seats, Wanhu Elder smiled at them. However, the other elders of the Yao Clan beside him looked rather uneasy. These elders were of a higher seniority than Yao Lao. If Yao Chen had remained in the Yao Clan, he would have had to bow respectfully to them. However, the reality now made them realize that if it came down to bowing, it should be their turn. After all, the teacher of the Young Clan Leader of the Xiao Clan was also the patriarch of the Yao Clan, and they couldn't afford to be arrogant!
