Arriving at the Main Hall
"Yes, I will pay attention, teacher. Teacher, have you sensed which scroll is Heaven Rank Dou Skill?" Xiao Yan looked at the ten orbs of light and asked Yao Lao with a hint of expectation.
"No, there are residual restrictions left by Dou Sheng inside. Only by obtaining it can we know what's going on."
"Rely on luck?" Xiao Yan licked his lips. He seemed to have always been lucky, so it looked like he still had a chance to obtain Heaven Rank Dou Skill.
Although the Yao Lao once said that he could teach him a Heaven Rank Dou Skill, he certainly wouldn't mind having more Heaven Rank Dou Skill.
"Teacher, can you sense where Tian Ge is?"
Xiao Yan didn't sense Xiao Tian's presence, but he didn't believe the other party wouldn't come to join the fun. The two most important places in the Side Hall outside had already been cleared by Xiao Tian, so he would probably come from the Main Hall as well.
"No, that kid's whereabouts are unpredictable; he might just be hanging around here watching the show."
"That's true."
"Is that Sky Swallowing Python? Using Sky Swallowing Python as a mount, whose general is this?"
"The guy is so handsome, and the girl is so beautiful. Their youthful faces and amazing figures are the stuff of my dreams."
Just as everyone was waiting for the scroll's seal to disappear, exclamations rang out outside the Main Hall, and then the crowd "involuntarily" parted to make way for the interior of the Main Hall.
Xiao Yan and the others were also drawn by the sounds and turned to look at the source of the noise.
A gigantic, serpentine beast covered in blue scales appeared at the entrance of the Main Hall. On its head was a long, jet-black horn with strange patterns and faint blue light shimmering on it.
At the head, atop the enormous skull, stood a man and a woman.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, and an expression appeared on his face, as if he lacked nothing. He straightened his back ramrod straight.
Xiao Yan also recognized the magical beast beneath Xiao Tian's feet; it was the Sky Swallowing Python, which had already become extinct in the outside world.
They possess some Dragon Clan blood, and if they could shed their supernatural appearance and undergo numerous Thunder Tribulation, they might eventually evolve into beings like the Ancient Void Dragon.
Ignoring the exclamations of the extras around him, Xiao Tian directed the Sky Swallowing Python toward Xiao Yan and the others.
This Sky Swallowing Python was the one from the bottom of the Ancient Forest lake. At Xiao Tian's instruction, Medusa violently dragged it out of the lake, beat it up, and then sent it out to Xiao Tian as his mount.
"Tian Ge, Sister -Hui Ying, you're here! Your mount is so imposing!" Xiao Yan Xiao Yan called out to the two of them.
Xiao Huiying nodded slightly to Xiao Yan. Only when she was alone with Xiao Tian would she show that clingy and adorable little Milk Dragon -like demeanor. When others were around, she always had a cold expression.
"It's nothing special. It appeared out of nowhere, shamelessly insisting on becoming my owner. I had no choice but to accept it. You know I'm beautiful inside and out."
Sky Swallowing Python: If I hadn't come, I'd probably be a kebab by now, especially those three little kids following behind that group of women, their eyes were practically drooling.
Hearing Xiao Tian's arrogant words, everyone around him was speechless.
Your mom is such a show-off; you can smell her smugness from kilometers away.
Xiao Yan was used to his Tian Ge's behavior and had even become immune to it. However, it was with Xiao Tian that Xiao Yan felt truly relaxed.
"Master!" Nalan Yanran also bowed slightly to Xiao Tian. She was very grateful to Nalan Yanran Xiao Tian, as her physique and current strength were all thanks to him.
"Not bad, it seems you've obtained that opportunity. Refine it carefully, and don't be greedy or rush things." Xiao Tian glanced at Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran, and said softly.
"Yes, I will follow Master's teachings." Nalan Yanran nodded slightly. Although it was only refining the remaining Dou Qi, it still needed to be done gradually to avoid leaving any hidden dangers.
Initiation is indeed a shortcut, but if not handled properly, it can easily affect one's foundation and thus limit one's potential.
Xiao Yan then introduced Xiao Tian to the people of Burning Flame Valley, and the group exchanged brief greetings.
The people of Burning Flame Valley also learned that this handsome young man was actually the most popular Palace Hall Master of the Free and Unfettered Hall.
Just as Xiao Tian and the others from Burning Flame Valley were introducing themselves, people from other major forces were also staring at Xiao Tian with a hint of apprehension in their eyes.
They recognized Xiao Tian, especially the people from the Soul Hall.
"Old Bai, is this guy the Hall Master the Free and Unfettered Hall? He doesn't seem to have much strength. He doesn't even have a strong aura. It seems he really is a gigolo, just like the intelligence said."
Black Heavenly Venerate Venerable glanced coldly at Xiao Tianyi and then transmitted his voice to White Heavenly Venerate.
"It's alright, let's assess the situation first. We've been unfairly blamed and are now universally disliked. We can't act rashly. We'll see when the opportunity arises. If we can capture this guy, perhaps many of the palace's missions can be completed smoothly."
White Heavenly Venerate's voice was calm, but a glint of light flashed in his eyes. He and his group had long ago made a plan, and everyone here would become a part of his Soul Banner.
"The Sky Swallowing Python has long since disappeared, yet it has reappeared this time. Could it be that he also created that deep pit? After all, he possesses a Small World."
White Heavenly Venerate shook his head slightly, "It shouldn't be. With his strength, he can't do that. As for the Small World, he's probably just the holder, not the one who can control it."
"That's true. If he had the strength of Dou Sheng, none of these people would escape; he could kill them all with a flick of his wrist."
"It's alright. As long as the plan goes smoothly, we can capture him and then force the people of the Free and Unfettered Hall to submit. That will be a great achievement for us."
After White Heavenly Venerate finished speaking, he ended the telepathic conversation.
Xiao Tian also glanced at the Black White Heavenly Venerate in the distance. The two old men were dressed like the Black and Black and White Impermanence, one carrying a scythe and the other Soul Banner. He wondered where they had learned such attire. In the Battle Through the Heavens World, there were no Black and White Impermanence or King Yama, nor was there any Hell.
However, the two of them are dressed in a way that fits the style and behavior of the Soul Hall —soul-stealing and life-taking.
The other forces also glanced at Xiao Tian with apprehension, and when they saw that he was accompanied only by a woman with a youthful face and a voluptuous figure, they breathed a slight sigh of relief when no one else was around.
They also recognized that this woman was not the Advanced Half-Saint from the Free and Unfettered Hall. If she were here, everyone would be out of the game and might as well just dig up their own coffins on the spot.
Rumor has it that the Hall Master of the Free and Unfettered Hall is only a Dou Zun, and with the seventh-tier peak Sky Swallowing Python beneath him, there are at most two Dou Zun, which will not completely change the situation.
As for Xiao Huiying, they simply ignored her, mainly because she looked too young and immature. They subconsciously assumed that she had no real strength and was just a beautiful and alluring vase.
