The Dumbest Villain in Battle Through the Heavens

Seeing that the guards of the Yao Clan were all so respectful, Xiao Lin and his companions naturally wouldn't make things difficult for them.

So, after exchanging glances, the four of them simply nodded and then strode towards the giant stone archway.

As for the discussions of the others around them, Xiao Lin and his companions paid them no heed.

And so, the four of them stepped into that distorted space one after another.

"Buzz~"

With a sudden shift in time and space, Xiao Lin and his companions felt a slight blur before their eyes, and when they looked again, they found themselves in another region.

This is a vast, lush green plain, where giant birds and beasts of enormous size, with wingspans of several hundred feet, roam.

"This way, please, all four of you!"

Just as Xiao Lin and his companions landed, a member of the Yao Clan dressed in armor quickly approached and led them onto the back of a giant bird.

At this moment, hundreds of figures were standing on the bird's back, creating a lively scene.

Because of their previous similar experiences with the Gu Clans, Xiao Lin, Xiao Yan, and Yao Lao were not unfamiliar with this situation; only Ye Xinlan was somewhat curious about it.

However, seeing that Elder Xiao didn't say anything, she naturally stayed by his side respectfully.

Afterwards, Xiao Lin and the other three didn't talk to anyone else. They found a quiet spot and, together, gazed at the vast plain while occasionally exchanging a few words.

After the four people got on, they waited a while before the giant bird beneath them finally began to move.

"Swish"

As the giant bird flapped its wings, it gradually rose into the air.

Finally, as if riding a raging wind, the giant bird swiftly flew towards the depths of the Medicine Realm with a whooshing sound.

This flight lasted for about half an hour before Xiao Lin and the others felt the giant bird gradually slow down.

At this moment, when Xiao Lin and the others looked around again, they saw a towering mountain range appear in their field of vision behind the dissipating clouds.

And on those mountains, clusters of palaces and buildings could be vaguely seen.

Countless plumes of smoke slowly rose into the air, filled with a rich, pungent aroma.

After circling the mountain range once, the giant bird finally landed in a plaza.

Seeing this, everyone slowly disembarked from the giant bird's back.

Xiao Lin and his grandson Xiao Yan remained calm, simply observing everything before them.

Ye Xinlan looked around curiously, but didn't say anything else.

Only the Yao Lao seemed somewhat lost in thought after arriving here.

Because this place was both familiar and unfamiliar to him!

After all, he once lived in these mountains too!

So many years have passed, and this place remains unchanged, but his parents are no longer here...

It can be said that Yao Lao's feelings towards the Yao Clan were quite complex.

This is his clan's territory; he was once a member of the Yao Clan, as were his parents.

However, because his Dou Emperor Bloodline was thin, he displayed remarkable talent Alchemist, which instead attracted suppression from the Leadership in his clan.

If some members of the Gu Clan were considered pedantic, then some members of the Yao Clan were the most pedantic of all!

The Punishment lineage, led by Yao Wangui, the third-ranking figure in the Yao Clan, values bloodline over talent.

This perfectly embodies the idea that bloodlines are paramount!

Although Yao Lao 'Dou Emperor Bloodline was thin, his talent was actually enough to easily defeat more than 99% of the Yao Clan.

After all, Yao Lao cultivated to the Nine-Transformation Peak Dou Venerable and the Peak Eighth-Tier Alchemist in less than a hundred years through his own efforts.

If he hadn't died once in between, it wouldn't have been impossible for him to break through to the Dou Sheng Realm within a hundred years.

Such talent is in no way inferior to the Eighth-Tier Bloodlines of the major Great Emperor clans.

In fact, most of the Eighth-Tier Bloodline holders don't cultivate as fast as Yao Lao!

However, it is a tragedy for the Yao Clan that Yao Lao with such talent could be framed by the Leadership- ups within his own family and thus expelled from the Yao Clan.

Even now, does Yao Lao still have any affection for the Yao Clan?

Even if he was unwilling to admit it, deep down, Yao Lao still had a sliver of affection for the Yao Clan.

You know, this is his home, no matter what!

Therefore, it is perfectly normal for him to appear momentarily dazed when he set foot here again after about a century.

At this moment, the square was bustling with people, and Yao Lao's actions seemed rather conspicuous.

At the same time, Xiao Lin, Xiao Yan, and Ye Xinlan also became the target of everyone's attention.

Since the four of them had come together, Yao Lao was lost in memories with a complicated expression, while Xiao Lin and the other two naturally waited by his side.

Xiao Lin and his group didn't actually intend to cause trouble; they just wanted to wait for Yao Lao.

However, some people are just asking for trouble!

To be honest, Xiao Lin never thinks of villains as stupid.

But the Yao Clan is an exception...

Xiao Lin genuinely didn't understand why some people in the Yao Clan could be so utterly stupid.

Sure enough, while Xiao Lin and the other two were waiting for Yao Lao to come to his senses, the Yao Clan's dim-witted villain made his appearance...

"Heh, so it's someone from the Starfall Pavilion who doesn't know the rules... Yao Chen, I'm rather surprised that someone expelled from the clan like you actually has the nerve to come back?"

An old, cold laugh that sounded somewhat familiar to Xiao Yan and Yao Lao slowly drifted over.

As the voice rang out, the surrounding pedestrians all slowed their pace and, seeing the old man with a cold smile slowly approaching, consciously stepped back a little.

That's right, this Yao Wangui is courting disaster again!

Furthermore, I wonder if he's really that out of touch with the world?

They actually considered Xiao Lin and Ye Xinlan as members of the Starfall Pavilion.

Xiao Lin was speechless when he saw that Yao Wangui, who was only Four-Star Dou Sheng, actually came to provoke them.

No, buddy, even if we consider him and Ye Xinlan as part of the Starfall Pavilion, you really don't know that Xiao Yan personally killed Hun Qianmo, a Six-Star Dou Sheng powerhouse, during the battle at the Fallen Peak?

How many Dou Sheng Expert six stars or higher) does your Yao Clan have?

All told, there's only one clan leader's Yao Dan and one Yao Wanhuo, right?

Even disregarding the fact that Xiao Yan has now broken through to the Seven-Star Dou Saint, even if he still possessed the strength he had during the battle at the Fallen Peak, he would be more than capable of slapping you, a Four-Star Dou Sheng, to death, right?

So, when Xiao Lin saw Yao Wangui leading a group of the Yao Clan members slowly approaching, he felt as if he were seeing a clown...

All I can say is, when people are speechless, they really are speechless!
