Xiao Han Meets Elder Yao

On a mountain peak far away in the Central Plains Burial Mountain Range.

Xiao Han sat cross-legged on the blue stone with his eyes slightly closed. Two hours later, a dark cave suddenly appeared behind him, and two figures, one in black and one in blue, slowly walked out of it.

Sensing the familiar presence, Xiao Han's lips curled into a slight smile:

"Xiao Tie, Xiao Ya, you two little guys really have a good relationship. You're both Dou Sheng now, yet you're still like conjoined twins, doing everything together."

Hearing Xiao Han's teasing, the burly man in black scratched his head and revealed a simple, honest smile.

"Ancestor, we're both used to it now!"

Then, the blue-robed youth beside him said with a serious expression:

"What are your instructions, Ancestor, for summoning us here?"

Both of them were Dou Sheng Expert, and even if they were only one-star, they were still a force to be reckoned with in Central Plains. He was somewhat worried about the trouble that was about to come.

Upon hearing this, even Xiao Tie, who usually didn't take anything seriously, became slightly more serious.

"You two should know Xiao Yan Kid, right?"

The two exchanged a glance and nodded in unison. Xiao Yan was the most outstanding member of their Xiao Clan in this generation, and his performance at the Four Directions Pavilion Assembly recently had amazed the entire Central Plains. How could these two seasoned veterans of the Central Plains not know such explosive news?

"Ancestor, is this related to that brat Xiao Yan?" Xiao Tie asked in a deep voice.

"To be precise, it should be related to his teacher."

"Teacher?" Xiao Ya raised an eyebrow. "That Medicine Venerable?" Clearly, the existence of the Elder Yao was not a secret to them.

"Now I'm Medicine Saint!" Xiao Han chuckled.

He then told the two of them everything that Elder Yao and Langya Pavilion had discussed in advance.

This time, things were far from calm. Xiao Tie clenched his fist, which was as big as a sandbag, and said excitedly:

"So, the Ancestor wants us to help that Medicine Saint cause some trouble for the Soul Hall?"

Even the usually composed Xiao Ya had an eager look in his eyes. The Soul Hall had targeted the Xiao Clan so ruthlessly; they had originally planned to test their skills against them in Central Plains.

However, Xiao Han had been suppressing their desire to act, so they had to hold back their thoughts. Now, their chance had finally arrived!

"What, are you interested?" Xiao Han asked playfully, fully aware of the thoughts of the younger generation of the Xiao Clan.

The two nodded in unison. "Ancestor, what should we do?" Xiao Tie felt his blood boiling, and his forty-meter-long broadsword was itching to unleash its power.

"No need to rush!" Xiao Han said, crushing a Jade Pendant in his hand.

After a while, a streak of Flowing Light came rushing in from a distance.

Xiao Tie and his companion noticed the powerful aura of the newcomer and became secretly on guard. Seeing Xiao Han's unguarded demeanor, they realized that this must be the powerful figure their ancestor had summoned.

When the figure approached, both of them were somewhat surprised. Did Central Plains really have such a handsome Dou Sheng Expert? Shouldn't they all be old men?

The powerful figures our ancestor has befriended are truly terrifying. I thought they were already blessed with extraordinary advantages, but I never imagined that I had underestimated all the heroes under heaven.

"Ice Saint, how have you been?" the powerful figure greeted with a cupped-hand salute.

"Medicine Saint, it's been a long time!" Xiao Tie and his companion had finally managed to gather their thoughts when Xiao Han's next greeting surprised them.

"You're the Medicine Saint?" Xiao Tie asked incredulously.

Seeing the other party's surprise, the Elder Yao understood and took the initiative to explain:

"Due to some special reasons, I have regained my appearance from when I was young. Please be aware of this."

"Tsk tsk tsk~" Xiao Ya clicked his tongue, looking as if he had just realized something. "No wonder the legend of the Medicine Venerable being surrounded by Hong Yan still circulates in Central Plains today."

"Now it seems..." Xiao Ya looked at Elder Yao deeply, "That one can glean a glimpse of his talent simply from his stunning appearance."

This guy is devastatingly handsome! He truly deserves the title of the most handsome man in the Central Plains!

She added in her mind, not to mention that this incredibly handsome man also possessed great strength and superb alchemy skills.

This guy is practically the epitome of the Fierce Qi Continent— rich, good-looking, and capable, what girl wouldn't like him! He's probably still single because of his good-for-nothing disciple Han Feng!

Hearing Xiao Ya's slightly strange praise, Elder Yao gave a wry smile. "Is it my fault that I'm handsome?"

Then she turned her gaze to Xiao Han, asking expectantly, "These two..."

The latter nodded and said:

"These two are the Dou Sheng Expert I'm supporting in this mission to help the Medicine Saint. Although they are only One-Star Dou Sheng, their teamwork is extremely seamless; one is offensive and the other defensive, capable of contending with Two-Star Dou Sheng!"

Before Elder Yao could show any surprise, Xiao Han continued:

"Moreover, these two are independent cultivators from Central Plains, and they have not yet joined my Langya Pavilion. The Medicine Saint can try to recruit them."

The Elder Yao nodded knowingly. "That won't be necessary. I am already very grateful that you have lent me your help."

Elder Yao didn't believe Xiao Han's words were true. Poaching one's own ally was an absolute taboo, and he wouldn't be so foolish!

"May I ask your names?" With that thought, Elder Yao looked at Xiao Tie and the other man.

"Qing He!"

"The Yuan Hai!"

Both of them answered.

"I have met the Medicine Saint!"

"I've heard so much about you two!" Elder Yao returned the greeting. As for whether he had heard of their names, Elder Yao could only say that it was just a formality and he couldn't really get to the bottom of it.

"Since you all know each other, I won't keep you company any longer!" Seeing that it was almost time, Xiao Han prepared to get up and leave.

As he left, Xiao Han said to the Elder Yao, "I hope the Medicine Saint will not forget his promise to me!"

The Elder Yao laughed heartily and assured, "Please rest assured, Ice Saint, this old man has no ability to renege on the debt to the Langya Pavilion!"

"Then I will await good news!" Xiao Han waved his hand, and his figure suddenly transformed into a gust of wind and snow and disappeared from the spot.

Staring at the spot where Xiao Han had left, Elder Yao sensed for a long time but could not detect the slightest abnormality. In the end, he could only sigh:

"These young people are truly formidable!"

Elder Yao knew that with the strength of this Ice Saint, killing him might only take one move.

Meanwhile, in Ye City, quite far from the Langya Pavilion, a grand slaughter is unfolding.

"Clang!"

With a crisp sound, the blood-red longsword severed the black chains and pierced the body of a black -Black-Robed Figure. Then, a powerful Dou Qi surged from the sword, directly shattering the Black-Robed Figure into nothingness.

After carefully surveying his surroundings and confirming that no one had escaped, the menacing figure in the blood-red robe sheathed his sword and returned to the ground.

"Thank you very much for your help this time!" Grand Elder Ye Zhong of the Ye Family was covered in cold sweat after experiencing the thrilling scene just now.

More than ten Dou Zong experts could easily wipe out the Ye Family.

"No need for formalities, this is what we should do."

"Senior, are these attackers from the Soul Hall?" Ye Xinlan, who had been observing the battle from inside the house, then stepped forward and asked.

This attack was saved thanks to the sudden appearance of three Langya Guards, who quickly dealt with the attackers in a very short time, preventing a major loss for the Ye Family.

After calming down, Ye Xinlan examined the remaining corpses, all of whom were dressed as Hall of Souls Protector, hence her question.

However, the Langya Guard who was questioned shook his head in denial, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, and said meaningfully, "This time it's not the Soul Hall!"

"This is truly interesting. There are actually forces in Central Plains that dare to make the Soul Hall take the blame. They've got some nerve!"

"Huh?" Ye Xinlan was also shocked. Having stayed in the Langya Pavilion for so many years, she had gained a considerable understanding of the Soul Hall, Langya Pavilion's mortal enemy.

Before Langya Pavilion, Soul Hall was practically the strongest force in the entire Central Plains, and it still possesses terrifying strength now.

How dare someone smear the Soul Hall?

"The Soul Hall wouldn't be so stingy; they'd send over a dozen Dou Zong..."

The Langya Guard scoffed, "What good is it!"

Is this looking down on the Langya Guard, or on the Langya Pavilion?

Dou Zong Ye Zhong: "..."

"The Deputy Pavilion Master sent us here to protect Miss Ye on her journey to the Pill Tower," the Langya Guard said solemnly.

"Please rest assured, Miss Ye!"

"Thank you, senior!" Ye Xinlan said politely.

With the protection of the Langya Guard, I believe we will be safe and sound on the journey.
