Xiao Yan heads northwest, directly crossing Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Although flying in the Magical Beast Mountain Range sky is far more dangerous than walking on the ground.

But with Xiao Yan's current strength, even if Magical Beast Mountain Range's Four Great Sovereigns comes, he won't be able to get it in his hands.

Only Miasma-Sky Toad and Xiao Yan, who own Netherworld Poison Flame, are not completely sure to deal with them.

In fact, Magical Beast is Magical Beast after all. Even if Xiao Yan releases some aura, there are still many low-level Magical Beast who dare to come and cause trouble for him.

Xiao Yan simply converted the Heavenly Flames used into Wind Fury Dragon Flame. When flying, there will be strong scorching wind flowing around it. Any Magical Beast that is close to it within a hundred meters will be instantly reduced to ashes, and even Magic Core will be burned together.

After emitting the terrible temperature, Xiao Yan felt a lot calmer.

After two days of flying, Xiao Yan finally arrived at the border city Da Ling City of the Jia Ma Empire.

Although this city is not as good as those first-class cities because of its remote location, it is much better than Wutan City.

At the same time, because it is close to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, there are a lot of mercenaries coming and going. Mercenaries driving vehicles dragging the corpse of Magical Beast can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys.

The atmosphere here reminds Xiao Yan of the time when Qingshan Town was there, and I don't know how Xiao Yi Xian is doing now.

With Woeful Poison Body, her growth must be amazing, but it is also accompanied by danger. If she can capture Netherworld Poison Flame and then refine the seventh-grade Nether Crystal Pill, maybe everything can be changed.

But even with the current Xiao Yan, it will still take a long time to refine Seventh-Grade Pill, so there is no point in rushing for some things.

Come to Da Ling City, Xiao Yan take a break here, and at the same time replenish food and water sources, as well as some healing, detoxifying and restoring Dou Qi elixirs.

The place I am going to next is Black-Corner Region, which is known as the most chaotic place in the Dou Qi Continent. It is not a wise choice to choose supplies there. If you have anything, try to prepare it here.

After resting for a night at Da Ling Mountain, the number of pills in Xiao Yan Storage Ring increased significantly.

Although most of them are second- and third-grade recovery elixirs, there are also some Fasting Pill that can be used instead of food.

Although these elixirs are salty and tasteless, Xiao Yan doesn't like to replace food, but there is no way. Before Black-Corner Region's things are clarified, it is best not to touch them if possible.

After making all preparations, Xiao Yan left Da Ling City. It must be said that the identity of Fourth-Rank Alchemist is indeed very useful. Just wearing these clothes, he can travel freely in various places.

Even Da Ling City Lord Mo Sang nodded and bowed, calling dozens of guards to escort Xiao Yan all the way to the Jia Ma Empire border, known as the three fortresses that Dou Emperor could not cross.

These three fortresses deal with three different empires respectively, and each fortress has more than 50,000 garrison troops.

Don't underestimate these 50,000 people. These are not ordinary people, but real Dou Zhe, and their leaders must also reach Dou Ling cultivation level.

In addition, there are various combined attack formations, as well as special equipment to deal with high-level experts, such as Qi-Breaking Repeating Crossbow, Divine Fire Bow, Soul-Piercing Arrow and other special equipment.

If they are gathered together, even Dou Emperor's defense can be broken.

However, the forging of these instruments is too complicated, so only the most elite troops can possess them.

And Mo Sang's guard regiment led Xiao Yan to the place known as one of the three major fortresses of Zhengui Pass.

After crossing the Ghost Town Pass, walking hundreds of miles, and passing through some small countries and tribes, we have entered the scope of Black Domain Great Plains.

The reason why Black Domain Great Plains is called Black Domain Great Plains is because here is the most confusing place in the entire Dou Qi Continent, Black-Corner Region.

Even if you have never been to Black-Corner Region, Xiao Yan has heard about it.

Here, there are gathered fugitives, villains, liars and Assassin from all Northwest Continent countries, and even various non-human races, just like a microcosm of the Dou Qi Continent.

There are no laws or rules here. The only rule is that the weak eat the strong and the fittest survive.

Whether you are an old man, a woman or even a child, they may stab you in the back. Countless strong people die here every day, and then other strong people will join in, making this place full of death, violence and blood.

In Black-Corner Region, the most famous are two forces, one of which is Jia Nan Academy.

As the strongest force in the entire Northwest Continent, Jia Nan Academy has existed for more than a thousand years and has witnessed the rise and fall of countless empires and forces, but it still stands.

The existence of the Jia Nan Academy has undoubtedly given many geniuses with talent but no resources room for advancement. It recruits students from the entire Dou Qi Continent every three years and cultivates countless Dou Wang and Dou Huang expert.

And a few years later, there were many Dou Zong and even Dou Zun among these people!

Jia Nan Academy is located in the center of Black-Corner Region, covering a peaceful area. Any rules of Black-Corner Region that dare to be brought to the Jia Nan Academy will surely become a corpse on the huge Death Spirit Tree at the entrance of the college.

It is said that there was even a corpse of Dou Emperor and two Dou Wang hanging on Death Spirit Tree!

And another powerful force is Shadow Tower, which is different from the Jia Nan Academy. It seems to be the dark side of Black-Corner Region.

No one knows where the headquarters of Shadow Tower is, and no one knows how many experts Shadow Tower has.

But people only need to know one thing, that is, as long as the reward is high enough, Shadow Tower can assassinate any target for you.

Shadow Tower has branches all over the empire, undertaking assassination missions from Dou Zhe to Dou Ling.

If you want to issue an assassination mission above Dou Wang, you must come to Black-Corner Region and submit the commission to the Shadow Tower main building.

Like Jia Nan Academy, Shadow Tower also had the record of assassinating a Dou Emperor within three days, making the existence of Shadow Tower hang over everyone in Black-Corner Region.

You never know when someone you offend will give Shadow Tower a mission to assassinate you.

The most frightening thing is that Shadow Tower's assassination success rate is as high as over 90%. Except for a few individuals, their assassination can be said to be successful.

But what makes all Black-Corner Region people feel incredible is that Shadow Tower and Jia Nan Academy have coexisted peacefully in Black-Corner Region for hundreds of years.

As for the members of the Jia Nan Academy, the assassination standards of Shadow Tower are also very high. At the same level, you need to pay more than five times the commission fee to carry out the task.

This also means that Shadow Tower will generally not assassinate members of the Jia Nan Academy unless it is a life-or-death feud.

This also enhances the status of the Jia Nan Academy in disguise, and can be regarded as half a death-free gold medal.

When we arrived at Zhengui Pass, we were specially escorted by Mo Sang. Mu Tie, the commander of the border pass, had been waiting for a long time.

"Mr. Xiao Yan, my subordinate, Mu Tie, is the commander of the Silver Armor Army. I have already learned your identity through Mr. Clan Head. There is no need for interrogation. Come and let me go."

Several guards immediately moved away the horse blocking the pass.

Although I don't know why Xiao Yan left Jia Ma Empire, it's not something he should be concerned about.

"Thank you Mu Tie for your leadership."

Xiao Yan clasped his fists and saluted, passing through the caravans and Mercenary Group who were planning to enter.

As Alchemist, having this kind of privilege is nothing in itself.

The moment I stepped out of the Ghost Town Pass, Xiao Yan seemed to feel that the sky had become wider.

"Xun'er, please be patient, Brother Xiao Yan will be here soon."
