"What?" For a moment, Xiao Yan even thought he had misheard.
Venerable Wind explained, "The Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool in the Northern Region has opened recently. Qingluan went to compete for a spot at the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool."
Xiao Yan gave a bitter smile. He had traveled all this way to Starfall Pavilion to find Mu Qingluan, only to discover that not only was she absent from Starfall Pavilion, she was coincidentally in the Northern Region he had just come from.
They had truly just brushed past each other. Although Xiao Yan did not know much about the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool, since even Venerable Wind knew of it, its effects were surely quite good. It had probably attracted many people as well.
Seeing Xiao Yan, Venerable Wind explained, "Although you and Qingluan missed each other, she will be going to Wind Lightning Pavilion for the Four Pavilions Conference. I'll take you there with me then, and you'll be able to see her."
Xiao Yan could only nod. "For now, it seems this is the only way."
The Magical Beast clans of the Central Plains had always been a powerful force not to be underestimated, and their most notable trait was their hostility toward outsiders. Although Venerable Wind had some ties with the Heavenly Luan Clan, he still advised Xiao Yan to go together with Mu Qingluan. With Venerable Wind's reputation added in, the chances of success would be greatest.
Xiao Yi Xian's condition was still fine for the moment. Her control over the Woeful Poison Body remained within an acceptable range, so Xiao Yan was not overly anxious.
"But the Four Pavilions Conference is being held at Wind Lightning Pavilion. Won't I cause trouble for you, Elder Feng?" Xiao Yan asked Venerable Wind.
Venerable Wind waved his hand
