As the Pill Gathering, held once every thirty years, drew near, people throughout the Central Plains were discussing the event hosted by the Pill Tower.
After all, every Pill Gathering brought quite a few outstanding figures into the public eye. What people most loved to see were those previously unknown nobodies rising against the odds to reach the pinnacle of life. Whenever they heard such legends, they could never help imagining themselves in those nobodies' shoes.
And the most talked-about figures in the Central Plains lately were naturally Xiao Yan and Xiao Fan, who were being hunted jointly by the Wind Lightning Pavilion and the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan!
On Thunder Mountain, they had confronted a Venerable and made enemies of the Yellow Springs Pavilion; after the Four Pavilions Assembly, they had killed Feng Qing'er, the Wind Lightning Pavilion's prodigy and Thunder Venerable's personal disciple. Later, surrounded by the Wind Lightning Pavilion and the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, they had even killed Wind Lightning Zi, an elder of the Wind Lightning Pavilion, and wiped out the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan's entire Enforcement Team.
According to the Wind Lightning Pavilion disciples who had escaped, Xiao Fan's strength had long since reached the Venerable level!
So many major events had suddenly erupted across the previously peaceful Central Plains that the names Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan immediately spread throughout the region, becoming the subject of everyone's conversations.
As time slowly passed and the Pill Gathering approached, people finally shifted their attention. Instead of discussing Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan, they began talking about the dark horses who might emerge at the gathering.
With Xiao Fan now such a prominent figure, everyone also wanted to know whether he and his companions would miss an event as grand as the Pill Gathering.
Whoosh!
