Xiao Yan, Who Doesn't Seem Like a Righteous Person, and a Re-Understanding of Sound Valley
As the saying goes, "Those who are not family will not enter the same door."
You can't have two kinds of people sleeping in the same bed.
Hearing Xiao Yan's unorthodox laughter, the four women realized something and couldn't help but let out their own cackling laughter.
Facing the sect-protecting formation activated by everyone's combined efforts, Cai Lin simply extended a delicate white finger and pointed it from a distance. As the spatial ripples spread, cracks instantly appeared in the Blood-Colored Grand Formation.
Click, click!
Cracks spread rapidly like a spider web, and the entire formation began to sway precariously.
Boom!
Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and the protective array of the Heavenly Underworld Sect, which had been nurtured for countless years, shattered with a deafening crash!
Puff puff puff!
Those who were manipulating the formation were instantly attacked by the backlash, their blood splattering everywhere.
"Those who surrender will not be killed, those who resist will be killed without mercy!" The great formation shattered, accompanied by Xiao Yan's cold shout filled with killing intent, and the three women, Cai Lin, also charged out.
The difference between Dou Zun and Dou Sheng is arguably greater than the difference between an ant and an elephant.
The three women annihilated the die-hard followers of the Heavenly Underworld Sect as easily as slicing melons and vegetables, thoroughly enjoying the thrill of "frying fish" (a Chinese idiom for easily defeating someone).
"Aren't you going to show off your skills?" Xiao Yan patted Ya Fei's little bottom beside him and asked with a smile.
Although Ya Fei has less practical combat experience, she is still a genuine Nine-Star Dou Zun, and she can easily crush most of the people in the Heavenly Underworld Sect.
Ya Fei looked away, smiled, and shook her head.
She wasn't particularly skilled at warfare; her forte was taking over the remaining forces and consolidating resources after the war.
In just a few breaths, Tian Mingzi and some loyal followers of the Heavenly Underworld Sect were all killed by the three women. The remaining half of the surrendered followers had their Dou Qi sealed and were taken into control.
From then on, the Heavenly Underworld Sect, one of the two dominant sects in the Southern Region, was completely destroyed.
In the period that followed, under the arrangement of Ya Fei and Feng Xian, the people of the Starfall Pavilion began to take over the power and cities of the Heavenly Underworld Sect in an orderly manner, digesting the resources left behind by the Heavenly Underworld Sect.
In this move, Xiao Yan has brought benefits to the Starfall Pavilion members. With the resources of the Heavenly Underworld Sect, the disciples of the Starfall Pavilion will likely be able to cultivate more effectively.
Upon returning to the Starfall Pavilion, Xiao Yan found his Junior Sister, Mu Qingluan.
No wonder she's called the Central Plains' Number One Construction Foreman; when Xiao Yan found her, this girl was busy working at the Starfall Pavilion construction site.
"Senior Brother, you were looking for me?" Upon seeing Xiao Yan, Mu Qingluan put down her work and came to stand before Xiao Yan.
"Junior Sister, why don't you take it easy like Senior Brother every day? Don't make yourself work so hard every day," Xiao Yan said helplessly.
"I just wanted to help build our beautiful home and also share the burden with the teacher. Don't worry, Senior Brother, I'm not tired at all," Mu Qingluan said with a smile, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
Upon hearing the little girl's reason, Xiao Yan's lips twitched involuntarily.
So, civil engineering is this girl's hobby? It seems he was overthinking it.
"By the way, Senior Brother, is there something you need from me?" Mu Qingluan blinked her curious eyes.
Xiao Yan nodded. "Junior Sister, I've heard that your Azure Luan Clan has a deep relationship with Sound Valley, is that true?"
Hearing Xiao Yan's question, Mu Qingluan was surprised but did not deny it. "Because our Azure Luan Clan is born with the power to control sound waves and wind, and the Sound Valley is famous for its music, our clan has close ties with the Sound Valley, and we often encourage the younger generation of both sides to exchange skills."
"Besides our Azure Luan Clan, the Gold-Devouring Rat Clan is the same..."
Upon hearing Mu Qingluan mention the Gold-Eating Rat, Xiao Yan also recalled this race that he had almost forgotten, a race known as the all-knowing expert of the Beast Realm.
At the same time, Xiao Yan became increasingly curious about the Sound Valley.
"When are you going to the Sound Valley for an exchange? Can you take me with you? Your Senior Brother also wants to see what it's like," Xiao Yan said with a smile.
"Senior Brother, you're going?" Mu Qingluan blinked her beautiful eyes, then hurriedly shook her head, "No, Senior Brother, Sound Valley is extremely reclusive and very hostile to outsiders. What if..."
She was worried that if the people from Sound Valley angered Xiao Yan Xiao Yan, and he wiped out the entire Sound Valley in a fit of rage, that would be terrible.
Considering the eccentricities of those people in Sound Valley, and then thinking about his own Senior Brother's terrifying strength, this situation could indeed happen.
After all, his senior Senior Brother had recently wiped out a sect...
"What if what?" Xiao Yan asked curiously, noticing Mu Qingluan's expression.
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingluan's face fell, as she recalled those unpleasant memories from the past.
Anyway, it wasn't a secret, and Xiao Yan wasn't an outsider, so she just treated it as complaining to Xiao Yan.
Next, Xiao Yan listened to Mu Qingluan's ten-minute heartfelt words, and at the same time, he gained a completely new understanding of Sound Valley.
"I see. In that case, it's not so strange that Sound Valley secluded herself from the world." This was the first time Xiao Yan had seen Mu Qingluan so excited, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
After chattering for over ten minutes, Mu Qingluan said she was thirsty and quickly took a sip of water, "Yeah, those guys have really weird tempers. I was afraid they'd upset my Senior Brother, that's why I didn't want to bring Senior Brother along."
Originally, Xiao Yan wasn't too fixated on going to the Sound Valley, but now it seems he has no choice but to go.
He wanted to see just how strange the temperament of the people of Sound Valley really was.
"What I, your Senior Brother, am best at is winning people over with virtue. Junior sister, you can rest assured that you're taking me with you," Xiao Yan patted his chest, assuring her confidently.
Winning people over with virtue?
At this moment, even Mu Qingluan, Xiao Yan's number one fangirl, began to have doubts.
After thinking about it, she finally agreed. After all, it was just taking her Senior Brother on a tour; nothing should go wrong, right?
Through Mu Qingluan, Xiao Yan also learned the time of their next exchange.
No more, no less, exactly two months later, which is still quite a lot of time.
During this time, he can still do many things, such as taking down a few branch halls of the Soul Hall and getting some Soul Origin.
However, the Four Pavilions Assembly is about to convene in two days.
Xiao Yan was quite interested in this part of the story.
Since Venerable Feng was busy taking over some matters of the Heavenly Underworld Sect, he naturally didn't have time to attend this conference.
Xiao Yan also wanted to have some fun, so he prepared to take Venerable Feng and go to the Four Pavilions Assembly with Mu Qingluan.
Taking this opportunity, he also wanted to see what kind of person Feng Qing'er, who was known as the most stubborn person in the original work, was really like.
After finalizing his itinerary, Xiao Yan went to see the Yellow Springs Demon Saint to ask him for advice on practical combat and soul cultivation.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
After briefly explaining his destination to the women, Xiao Yan broke through space and left Starfall Pavilion with Mu Qingluan, heading towards the Wind and Thunder Mountain Range where Wind and Thunder Northern Pavilion was located.
