"What a killjoy. I'm heading back to rest."
Had he not remembered that he still had to attend the Alchemist Conference, Xiao Yan would have cut the fellow down on the spot. He would never have given Nalan Jie a chance to intervene.
Still, letting Mu Zhan go left Xiao Yan rather displeased.
Watching Xiao Yan, who had nearly cleaved the Nalan Family estate apart with a single sword strike, Liu Ling and Yao Yue, who had witnessed the whole affair, were already too stunned to speak.
Someone around their own age had already reached the Dou Ling level. Given another few years, wouldn't he be able to reach Dou Emperor?
A Dou Emperor in his twenties was someone whose weight both the Imperial Family backing Yao Yue and the Misty Cloud Sect would have to carefully consider.
That genius from Wutan City actually has such talent. It looks like I'll have to return to the imperial capital.
The strength Xiao Yan had displayed was terrifying. Were he not still growing, probably no one in the entire Jia Ma Empire could subdue him.
Yet even if they racked their brains until the heavens cracked, they would never imagine that Xiao Yan already possessed the ability to defeat, or even kill, a Dou Emperor.
Precisely because that period of growth was already behind him, Xiao Yan acted so fearlessly. So what if he exposed his heavenly flames? Anyone in the Jia Ma Empire who dared provoke him had better be prepared to have him turn around and bite back.
It seems the grand elder was right. This little fellow is becoming more and more terrifying. Perhaps the Mittel Family can climb even higher with his help!
As Ya Fei watched Xiao Yan leave, she seemed to make some sort of resolve.
