Jueyou Valley

Sensing the terrifying force gathering beneath that palm, even though it was only a hand's width away, Mo Linglin finally panicked.

This person in front of me not only isn't afraid of the Mo Clan, but actually dares to kill me!

Overwhelmed by extreme fear, tears streamed down her face like broken beads. At that moment, her reason had collapsed, and she no longer knew what to do.

At this moment, a figure flew out from a shop not far away and quickly arrived at Xiao Yan's side. Seeing Ling Lin being held hostage, his expression darkened slightly, but he quickly cupped his hands and said quite politely:

"Young man, let's talk this out. Please, for the sake of the Mo Clan, don't stoop to the level of a child!"

"Pshaw... the face of the Mo Clan?"

With a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, Xiao Yan glanced at the middle-aged man whose strength was at the Dou Master level and sneered:

"Keep your people in check. Don't think that just because the Mo Clan has the Misty Cloud Sect backing them up, they can act recklessly. What happened today is not a big deal, and I don't want to bother with these little brats, but not everyone has the right to be so arrogant in front of me."

If I want to deal with the Mo Clan, the Misty Cloud Sect will stand by my side.

The boy's cold laughter echoed clearly through the street, shocking everyone with his arrogant words.

But seeing the boy's extraordinary demeanor and composed manner, everyone felt that he might not be arrogant at all; the confidence and domineering tone in his words were not something an ordinary person could fake.

This middle-aged man was clearly a seasoned veteran. Even with his strength as Dou Master, he couldn't discern the young man's cultivation level. And this young man couldn't possibly be a Dou Master; his domineering manner suggested he had some other reliance. Therefore, he wasn't angry; instead, he smiled ingratiatingly and said:

"Hehe, young brother is right. When I return today, I will definitely have the family head punish Ling Lin severely."

"If a similar situation occurs again, there will be no more Mo Clan in Salt City."

Xiao Yan glanced indifferently at the middle-aged man, then his gaze slid to the red-clad girl in his palm, and he casually tossed her back to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man quickly caught the girl, and after confirming that she was unharmed but only a little frightened, he cupped his hands and said:

"Thank you for your leniency, young brother! Today's events were the fault of my Mo Clan. You look unfamiliar, young brother, and it seems this is your first time in Salt City. You probably don't have a place to stay yet, right? Why don't you stay at my Mo Clan's place and give us a chance to express our apologies?"

"Very well, there might be something in your Mo Clan's food that I'm not worthy of. Farewell."

Xiao Yan would never eat the food of the Mo Clan. Even with the Alchemy Grandmaster Old Yao and the poison master Xiao Yi Xian by his side, no one could poison him, but he still refused to go.

So disgusting!

These younger members of the Mo Clan may not know what their Great Elder has done. For now, they can be considered innocent. Being arrogant is a common problem among the children of many powerful families, but their crimes do not warrant death.

But most of these middle-aged men have dirty hands.

However, his purpose for this trip was not to eliminate the Mo Clan. It would take a considerable amount of soul power for Old Yao to make a move. Although the Bone Flame Ring could nourish the soul, the process was extremely slow!

Old Yao's current soul power is at most enough for Xiao Yan to fight a Dou Wang. It's already insufficient against a low-level Dou Emperor. After the fight, he may fall into a deep sleep again due to exhaustion of his power.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Xiao Yan did not want to use Old Yao's soul power.

As for why he dares to be so arrogant, it's because even without Old Yao's power, Xiao Yan has the Purple Cloud Wings to use, which can take Xiao Yi Xian with him and fly away at any time. No one from the Mo Clan can catch up with him!

"By the way, don't even think about sending anyone with me; they'll die."

Just as Xiao Yan was about to leave, he suddenly turned back, gave a warning, and then, with Xiao Yi Xian by his side, walked slowly toward the North Gate.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's expression stiffened. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to send a few of his best men to follow Xiao Yan at a distance.

After leaving Salt City, Xiao Yan curled his lip.

He overestimated the Mo Clan family's character and intelligence.

I told you not to follow, but you insisted.

Even the best concealment of a few Dou Zhe is impossible to hide under the scan of his soul perception.

"Killed?"

Xiao Yi Xian noticed Xiao Yan's micro-expression and asked a question that seemed a bit out of the blue.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work."

Xiao Yan nodded.

Xiao Yi Xian simply smiled faintly upon hearing this:

"It might be a bit of a hassle for you, but for me, it's just a wave of the hand."

With that, she swiftly formed hand seals, and several streaks of purple Dou Qi shot out like long snakes with a flick of their tails.

After a few muffled thuds, the world fell silent.

"You've broken through again?"

Xiao Yan was somewhat surprised to sense the aura emanating from Xiao Yi Xian when she made her move.

"Hmm, seven stars."

Xiao Yi Xian nodded slightly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was also astonished.

Good heavens! It seems like only half a month has passed since she came out of the small valley, and she has already increased her strength by one star. The cultivation speed of the Woe Poison Body is truly terrifying!

Seeing that they were already quite far from the city and in a remote, sparsely populated area, Xiao Yan decided not to travel on foot anymore.

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yi Xian instinctively came closer and hugged him tightly.

Reaching out to encircle Xiao Yi Xian's slender waist, which could be grasped in one hand, Xiao Yan channeled his Dou Qi to his back. His wide purple cloud-patterned wings shot out, and with a flap of his wings, he suddenly took off, flying towards the Xuanyin Mountain Range, tens of thousands of miles away.

The destination of this trip is the Jueyou Valley in the Xuanyou Mountain Range.

Xiao Yan had previously inquired about the Jueyou Valley from the flight transport department. There were many highly poisonous and cold-attribute magical beasts there. It was said that there was a peak Fourth Tier magical beast there, which might advance to Fifth Tier magical beast at any time.

Therefore, even the Imperial Air Transport Office would set flight routes to avoid that area.

After a five-hour flight, a dark mountain range came into view for Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi Xian.

"This should be it."

High in the sky, Xiao Yan immediately spotted the massive canyon shrouded in clouds and mist that almost severed the Xuanyou Mountain Range.

With Old Yao acting as an early warning system, Xiao Yan was quite willful and directly swooped down from the sky. The Dou Qi Dou Qi Gauze burning with Heavenly Flames enveloped his body and Xiao Yi Xian in his arms, blocking out the biting cold wind.

Before long, Xiao Yan had passed through the clouds and mist and saw the scene in the valley.

Then his expression changed.

What came into view was a gruesomely dead magical beast. Judging from the state of its decay, it had probably only been dead for about a month. However, judging from the lingering aura, it was actually a Fifth Tier magical beast?
