Xiao Yan Sensed Something!

The young man was Xiao Yan.

More than a year ago, Xiao Yan returned to Penglai Islands and Wutan Mountain after leaving Daojian Immortal City.

She wanted to inform her father about the situation of the Patriarch.

There was no rush along the way; the focus was mainly on polishing and repairing.

Two months ago, he successfully entered the Foundation Establishment Realm by relying on the Earth Vein Profound Sun Fire.

Not only did he awaken his physical constitution, but he also Heavenly Dao Foundation.

This caused a dramatic change in his strength.

He returned to his Lineage, gave his father a Foundation Establishment, and then took Teleportation Array to Black Dragon Immortal City.

It cost him thousands of Spirit Stones, which really broke his heart.

But there's no way around it; the distance is too far. If I were to travel on my own, it would take at least several months.

If one encounters a great terror at sea, one might even perish.

He still has a treasure trove to explore, so how could he waste so much time traveling?

After returning to Black Dragon Immortal City.

Xiao Yan arrived at the Teleportation Array and was transported to the Hanhai Royal City of the Qing Kingdom.

Because of the relatively short distance, this time it only cost two thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.

Looking at the Spirit Stones he had painstakingly saved, he now only had a little over eight thousand left.

Xiao Yan's face showed a look of pain.

"This Teleportation Array is too expensive. Eight thousand Spirit Stones aren't even enough to cover the cost of returning to Yunhua Immortal City."

Looking at his grumbling apprentice, Elder Dan said irritably:

"Alright, if we don't earn any Spirit Stones, so be it."

With your current cultivation level as First-grade Top-tier Alchemy Master, earning a few thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones shouldn't be difficult.

Let's go, buy a map of the Qing Kingdom, and head to Little Village in Wuhe County.

Xiao Yan nodded and went to a street stall in the city to buy a map of the Qing Kingdom for one Spirit Stone.

Of course, you can also buy it with silver, but what you'll get is just a map drawn by an ordinary person.

The content is definitely not as detailed as the map sold by the immortal.

After obtaining the map, Xiao Yan began searching for the location of Wuhe County on it.

But no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find the place.

Could it be that Brother Chen has misremembered?

Does the Qing Kingdom not actually have Wuhe County?

Wait a minute, how could Brother Chen make such a basic mistake?

He frowned slightly, looked at the vendor with a mustache in front of him, and said:

"Brother, is there something wrong with your map?"

Upon hearing this, the stall owner's brows furrowed, and he stood up angrily, saying:

"Kid! Looking for trouble, huh?"

Everyone on this little street knows that I, Hai Lao Er, am the most honest and kind person!

What I hate most in my life are swindlers and cheaters!

You dare mess with me, kid? I think you're asking for trouble!

As soon as he finished speaking, Hai Lao Er whistled.

A dozen or so burly men emerged from various parts of the street.

The Hanhai Royal City does not prohibit martial arts. As long as no one is killed, even if someone is beaten to a pulp, no one will be held accountable.

Seeing this, the surrounding vendors quickly packed up their spiritual items and retreated to a safe distance, watching the scene with glee.

"Heh, this kid must be new here, not recognizing Hai Lao Er."

"Of course! That's obvious. What Hai Lao Er loves to do most is force-buying and selling. This kid's in for a world of hurt this time."

"Who says so? What if this kid is a tough character?"

"You're talking nonsense. What if some tough guy really came back to our Rogue Cultivator Street to buy something? And a map no less?"

"That's not how it works. Can you see through his cultivation level?"

"Hiss~ Now that you mention it, it's true. I'm a Qi Refining Level 6 expert, yet I couldn't see through that kid's cultivation level."

Could he really be a master?

Xiao Yan ignored the surrounding chatter and sighed inwardly as he watched the burly man approaching him.

That's incredibly unlucky.

Even spending a Spirit Stone to buy a map can bring disaster.

Who can I complain to about this?

I originally wanted to keep a low profile, but now it seems that's impossible.

If Zhang Xuanchen were here, there certainly wouldn't be any surprises.

This is just like the protagonist's daily life.

Xiao Yan slowly placed his hands on the handle of the black ruler behind his back, and a sharp aura burst forth from his body.

He said, "Is this Hai Lao Er? I have no intention of provoking you."

I was just puzzled because I didn't see Wuhe County on the map.

Of course, if you insist on fighting, I'll gladly oblige!

Xiao Yan showed no fear in his eyes, his sharp gaze fixed on Hai Lao Er standing in front of him.

The one with the highest cultivation level among these people is Hai Lao Er, who is only at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer.

Just an ant, posing no threat whatsoever!

Moreover, he has Elder Dan as his strong backer. Even if the Qing Kingdom's Imperial Family causes him trouble today, he will still fight them without hesitation.

It's one thing to be bullied when you're weak and powerless in the past.

Now that we have strength and backing, how can we be bullied?

When Xiao Yan mentioned Wuhe County, Hai Lao Er knew that this guy was indeed from outside, because Wuhe County had been destroyed by Evil Cultivators four years ago.

Sensing the aura emanating from Xiao Yan, Hai Lao Er's eyes revealed a look of apprehension.

This young man is definitely stronger than me!

They're not easy to deal with.

With a quick glance, he waved his hand, signaling the surrounding burly men to retreat.

His attitude changed drastically, and he smiled broadly, saying, "Fellow Daoist, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."

Fellow Daoist just mentioned Wuhe County, which means you have indeed just arrived in the Qing Kingdom.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow:

"What's the meaning?"

Instead of replying immediately, Hai Lao Er shouted at the onlookers, "What are you looking at!"

Are you looking for a beating?! Go do whatever you were doing!

Anyone who can't scrape together their protection money this month is fired!

Get out of Laozi!

Upon hearing Hai Lao Er's words, everyone shrank back and quickly scattered.

Seeing this, Hai Lao Er nodded in satisfaction and smiled as he replied to Xiao Yan:

"Fellow Daoist, Wuhe County was wiped out by Evil Cultivators four years ago!"

The former site of Wuhe County has now been renamed Fengnan County.

"What!"

Xiao Yan exclaimed in surprise, "Zhang Xuanchen clearly said that he helped Little Village kill those two Evil Cultivators!"

How can the destruction of Little Village be called an accident when nothing happened?

Could it be?

Thinking of a possibility, Xiao Yan quickly asked, "What about Xiaozhai Little Village?"

Upon hearing this, Hai Lao Er's expression clearly changed.

"I already said it was destroyed, so Little Village, which belongs to Wuhe County, was naturally also destroyed by the Evil Cultivators."

His eyes darted away, clearly indicating he didn't want to discuss this topic with Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan grabbed his collar, and a layer of scorching flames burned on Hai Lao Er's skin.

Hai Lao Er clearly felt a strong stinging pain, but there were no signs of burning on his skin.

This undoubtedly demonstrates Xiao Yan's exceptional fire control abilities.

Master!

Hai Lao Er was horrified.

Cold sweat streamed down his forehead, and just then a deep, cold voice reached his ear:

You're lying!

Since Zhang Xuanchen killed the two Evil Cultivators who wanted to Blood Sacrifice Little Village, Little Village will most likely be fine.

Judging from the expression on Hai Lao Er- in-command's face, Xiao Yan was certain there was more to the story.
