Arrival at the Imperial Capital

Xiao Yu was slightly taken aback when he heard the voice, but then he realized that a whole month had passed since he last received the reward.

"Claim the reward!" Xiao Yu eagerly claimed the reward.

"Ding! Rewards are being distributed. This reward is: Faction Reward, granting ten Dou Zong -level assassins, which can increase strength, up to the Peak Dou Zong!" The system's voice made Xiao Yu slightly startled.

"Ten assassins with the strength of Dou Zong?" Xiao Yu was also somewhat shocked. He hadn't expected the reward to be like this.

"Where are these ten assassins now?" Xiao Yu asked the system in his mind.

The system replied directly, "You can summon using the Bone Flute at the Chuyun Empire!"

Then Xiao Yu saw a snow-white Bone Flute appear in his palm, which he gently stroked before putting it away.

Stepping out of the room, Yun Yun and the others were already standing in the courtyard. Xiao Yu stretched lazily and said, "Xiao Yi Xian, are you really going to leave here?"

Xiao Yi Xian glanced at Xiao Yu with her grayish-purple eyes and said, "What? Not welcome?"

"No, that's not it. It's just that you founded the Poison Sect, so you don't care about it at all?" Xiao Yu asked with a smile.

Xiao Yi Xian shook her head and said, "The Poison Sect was something I did casually in the Chuyun Empire. I didn't expect it to cause so much trouble. I still think it's better to be alone, and it'll be easier. Besides, I heard you established a Underworld force in the Black Corner Region, right? I'll go Underworld and become an elder!"

Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "Alright, I couldn't be happier!"

Behind Xiao Yi Xian stood eight figures, the Poison Sect members who were about to follow Xiao Yi Xian to the Black Corner Region.

Xiao Yu didn't say much. The group transformed into streaks of light and flew towards the border of the Chuyun Empire. Although Yun Yun, Cai Lin, and Xiao Yi Xian were all Dou Zong, there were also Dou Emperor and Dou Wang traveling to the Black Corner Region together. Dou Zong could fly directly with the help of the energy of heaven and earth, but Dou Wang and Dou Emperor could not. So it took them five days to reach the border of the Chuyun Empire.

Just as they were about to continue their journey, Xiao Yu gestured, and the group stopped at a peak in the mountain range. Cai Lin asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why are we stopping here?"

Xiao Yu smiled mysteriously and said, "Of course, it's something important!"

After saying that, he took out the snow-white Bone Flute and placed it to his lips. Instantly, a strange flute sound rang out between heaven and earth. The sound spread outwards in circles, and the people standing around Xiao Yu looked at him in Xiao Yu.

Just as they were about to ask what had happened, ten terrifying auras suddenly erupted from the distant horizon. Cai Lin and the others' expressions immediately changed, and they exclaimed, "Dou Zong!"

Yun Yun frowned and looked at Xiao Yu. These ten extremely strong Dou Zong auras were emitted after Xiao Yu finished playing the Bone Flute, so they should be related to Xiao Yu in some way.

The Dou Wang and Dou Emperor who were following Xiao Yi Xian all showed a hint of shock. Ten Dou Zong powerhouses suddenly appeared, leaving them unable to react for a moment.

Seeing the slight change in everyone's expressions, Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "Don't worry, these are all my men. You don't need to be so concerned!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned to Xiao Yu. They had never seen so many Dou Zong experts before. In the Northwest Region, Dou Zong was the highest level. They would never see Dou Zun expert in the Northwest Continent, since such extremely powerful experts would not appear in such a barren Northwest Region!

The Dou Qi Continent is vast, but the Northwest Region is on the edge of the Dou Qi Continent, and there are hundreds of empires of varying sizes there. Jia Ma and Chu Yun are just on the very edge of this edge!

As they were talking, ten black figures swiftly flew in from the sky and quickly appeared before them. The ten figures stood in front of Xiao Yu, kneeling on one knee suspended in mid-air, and said in unison, "Greetings, Young Master!"

"Young Master" is an identity given to him by the system. These assassins are all at the Five-Star Dou Zong level. They are no different from ordinary people in normal times, but they are cold and ruthless. They only obey Xiao Yu's orders. They have strong execution ability and can level up by consuming pills. They are simply the best henchmen. This has also helped Xiao Yu to a certain extent to solve the safety of the Xiao Clan in the Black Corner Region after he sets off for Central Plains.

Xiao Yu now realized that the Soul Hall had never given up its search of the Xiao Clan. Even after killing the elders of the Soul Hall, the Soul Hall still did not give up, which showed how tempting the Tou She Ancient God Jade was!

Everyone looked at Xiao Yu in shock. This guy had actually been holding back! Ten Dou Zong experts—with such a lineup, they could practically roam freely throughout the entire Northwest Region, right?

"Young Master?" Zi Yan stared at Xiao Yu with wide eyes.

Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "Get up, come with me to the Black Corner Region!"

"Yes!" The ten Dou Zong stood up in unison.

Xiao Yu looked at Zi Yan and said, "These are all contingency plans left by my Xiao Clan ancestors, but some things went wrong, which is why they've only come now!"

After everyone nodded in agreement, they bypassed the minor incident and continued their journey towards the Black Corner Region.

Time flies, and another three months have passed. Xiao Yu has also received a pill, a top-grade alchemy furnace, and a Mysterious Tier High-Grade Dou Skill from the system!

Meanwhile, in the Jia Ma Empire, a luxurious caravan arrived at the Imperial Capital Square. This caravan was led by Xiao Zhan Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, Xiao Li, and Nalan Yanran.

After three months of continuous travel, their caravan finally arrived at the Imperial Capital the Jia Ma Empire from the Black Corner Region.

Stepping out of the plaza where the flying beasts had been, Xiao Yan looked at the bustling street before him and couldn't help but sigh, "It's been so long since I've been here. It's truly a mix of emotions!"

Nalan Yanran gently grasped Xiao Yan's large hand and whispered, "Didn't you ever imagine that we would end up together?"

Xiao Yan tilted his head and looked at Nalan Yanran with a smile, "I really didn't expect that!"

Nalan Yanran chuckled and said, "Not only were the two of us surprised, but even my father and grandfather would find it unbelievable if they met you!"

The two exchanged a smile, and Xiao Li stepped forward from behind, saying, "Let's go. Almost everything's been unloaded. I've also found over a dozen Horned Horse carrying supplies; we're ready to depart at any time!"

Xiao Zhan nodded slightly and said, "Alright, let's set off then!"

On the bustling streets of the Imperial Capital, countless people were watching this caravan. The caravan's vehicles were all adorned with a dark gold flame emblem of the Underworld, giving them an extremely prestigious appearance. People were discussing the caravan.

"Which caravan is this? I don't think I've ever seen it before."

"Yes, this flame emblem doesn't belong to either the Mittel Family or the Jian Family's caravan!"

Just as these people were discussing, the Xiao Clan family arrived at the Nalan Family's residence!
