As news of the three Origin Transformation Realm experts being repelled by the Xiao Gate Master spread throughout the Northern Wasteland, an invisible storm quickly swept across the Northern Wasteland. Xiao Yan's name also spread rapidly among all the major and minor forces in the Northern Wasteland. Within ten days, almost everyone in the entire Northern Wasteland knew the name Xiao Yan. Especially when they heard that the Xiao Gate Clan Master was actually just a young man, a mixture of shock and curiosity rose in everyone's hearts.
Ten days later, powerful figures from all sides began to head towards Feng City, and Feng City had already undergone a complete transformation.
The magnificent buildings stand like towering mountain peaks in Feng City, making the entire Feng City look several times more grand than before, and even its original area has expanded by nearly one-third.
Nowadays, not only Feng City, but also thousands of miles outside Feng City have become the territory of the Xiao Gate. Several spiritual veins that were previously under the command of the Northern Wasteland Hall have also been brought under the command of the Xiao Gate. Since Xiao Yan came out of seclusion, in just ten days, the overall foundation of the Xiao Gate has been raised several levels.
In addition, with the arrival of various forces, many of them have joined the Xiao Gate. In just half a month, the number of Dou Di experts in the Xiao Gate has nearly doubled compared to half a month ago, which has greatly surprised Liu Jin and others.
In addition, relying on the vast resources accumulated by the Northern Wasteland Hall in the past, Xiao Yan attracted a large number of Dou Di powerhouses to join him by offering pills as payment. Currently, in the Xiao Gate, in addition to the fifty Dou Di powerhouses who belong to the sect, there are also twenty who are hired. These people, including a large part of those who joined the Xiao Gate, are all here for the rewards offered by Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan is very clear about this.
As the Xiao Gate's power grew rapidly, two months passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Xiao Yan, the leader of the Xiao Gate, disappeared once again...
The frenzied absorption of power has made the Xiao Gate's territory increasingly vast, and the number of its strong members has caused many forces in the Northern Wasteland to tremble with fear. However, even so, these forces still maintain a cautious attitude. After all, just as Xiao Yan thought, the Xiao Gate Xiao Gate is now like a rapidly expanding balloon, and the people inside are like various different gases mixed together. Once one of them suddenly explodes, the entire balloon will naturally burst instantly, and then the entire Xiao Gate will naturally collapse without a fight.
Rapid growth inevitably brings various criticisms to the Xiao Gate, yet Xiao Yan ignores them. The consequences will naturally be unbearable for him. Although the Xiao Gate appears large on the surface, it is actually on the verge of collapse.
In the council hall of the Xiao Gate, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi Xian Cai'er sat together.
At this moment, Xiao Yi Xian was frowning, her beautiful eyes fixed on Xiao Yan, filled with worry.
She was well aware of the recent situation within the Xiao Gate. Although the number of powerful individuals within the Xiao Gate had increased considerably, overall, the Xiao Gate was still a disorganized mess. Many things were beyond even her control as the deputy sect leader. As the Xiao Gate's greatest asset, Xiao Yan remained calm and unhurried, accepting all outsiders without any regard for the consequences.
" Xiao Yan, the Xiao Gate has recently experienced a series of incidents. Several newly joined High-Level Dou Di have clashed with Fang Tonghui and Liu Cheng's Fang Tonghui, causing chaos in the city. Even Cai'er is unable to completely suppress those people."
How many Dou Di level experts do we currently have in total?
Ignoring those questions, Xiao Yan smiled and asked this one.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian paused for a moment, hesitated slightly, and then spoke again:
"Originally there were seventy-three, but recently, due to the incident in the city, sixteen Dou Di experts have left, including eleven High-Level Dou Di. Now, in the Xiao Gate, there are still fifty-seven Dou Di Dou Di, including those hired."
"Fifty-seven, that's about right..."
Xiao Yan smiled. He was well aware of the situation in the city, but it wasn't enough to worry him. He understood that the Xiao Gate was growing too fast, so some people would inevitably be eliminated in the process. In fact, those who remained were usually the strongest individuals. Those who could survive the chaos were undoubtedly the best of the best, which was exactly what Xiao Yan needed.
What he needs is not a so-called Dou Di ), but a strong person. As long as they are strong enough, their character is not very important. As for managing the order in the city, that is even simpler...
"Buzz!"
Immediately after Xiao Yan Xiao Yan speaking, a powerful aura swept outward from his body like an invisible storm, instantly engulfing the entire Feng City. The expressions of everyone in the city changed drastically in an instant.
Immediately, as everyone in the city looked up, a figure dressed in black robes appeared in the sky above Feng City. Then, two beautiful figures followed and stood beside the man in black robes.
Below, in the city, countless people stared in shock at the black-robed figure in the sky, their hearts filled with utter horror. Needless to say, this suddenly appearing black-robed man was none other than Xiao Yan, the sect leader of the Xiao Gate.
Although most people in the city had heard of the name of this Xiao Gate, few had actually seen what he looked like. Now that they had seen him, they finally understood what it meant to be a dragon among men, the best of the best.
"This is the sect leader? He looks even younger than the rumors suggest!"
"So young, yet his cultivation has already reached the Middle Origin Transformation Realm, wow, truly remarkable!"
"Hey, from now on, there's another powerful force in the Northern Region. With the sect leader in charge, let's see if those other forces still dare to be arrogant."
Xiao Yan's appearance immediately caused a stir in the city. The previously chaotic city now turned everyone's attention to Xiao Yan.
"Hehe, I'm sure you've all heard that my Xiao Gate is about to lead its forces to the Western Region Western Region to conquer a certain power there. Since everyone here has chosen to stay, I presume you all agree to my Xiao Gate's plan. In that case, as I promised you, after the mission is accomplished, I will reward all participants with a Ultimate Transformation Pill. In addition, further rewards will be given based on merit."
Upon hearing about the Ultimate Transformation Pill, all the Dou Di experts present showed expressions of fervor. The Ultimate Transformation Pill was a pill that could enhance the cultivation of Dou Di experts; how could they not be tempted? To be honest, how many of the Dou Di experts present hadn't joined the Xiao Gate for the Ultimate Transformation Pill? Without benefits, how could these guys who risked their lives every day willingly join a force? Now, Xiao Yan's mention of the Ultimate Transformation Pill immediately piqued their interest.
"Sect Leader, rest assured, as long as we're here, who cares about that damned sect? With so many Dou Di experts like us, even a single spit from each of us would be enough to drown him!"
"Ha ha ha ha..."
Immediately, a burst of laughter erupted in the city. Xiao Yan, however, paid no heed, chuckled lightly, and said:
"I am very pleased that you all have such confidence. However, this trip to the Western Region is no trivial matter. Therefore, I must tell you carefully that I must select some of the stronger individuals from among you to accompany me to the Western Region. As for the rest, I hope that you will continue to guard the Northern Region. The foundation of my Xiao Gate is entrusted to you."
The moment his words fell, before anyone in the city could react, Xiao Yan's powerful aura suddenly descended upon the city. The terrifying pressure forced everyone to bend over instantly, their faces turning bright red, and many even turning pale.
Faced with the overwhelming aura of a Origin Transformation Realm expert, they alone were simply no match for him.
"Everyone, from this moment on, those among you who can withstand my overwhelming aura and step into the void, even if it's just one step, will join my journey to the Western Region. Those who cannot will remain stationed in Feng City. The choice is entirely yours."
Upon hearing this, the people in the city were immediately shocked. Xiao Yan actually asked them to withstand the oppressive aura of the Origin Transformation Realm expert and even asked them to step into the void. This was far too unrealistic.
"Of course, as an encouragement, anyone who can withstand my aura and step into the void within the next ten minutes will receive a fifth-tier pill."
Xiao Yan's words were like a shot of adrenaline to everyone present. In an instant, the blood in the bodies of everyone in the city who had been suppressed by Xiao Yan's aura boiled. Their eyes turned bloodshot, and they frantically mobilized their fighting Dou Qi. Their muscles bulged, and they tried to straighten their bodies under Xiao Yan's aura.
At this moment, the allure of fifth-grade pills was perfectly demonstrated.
Everyone in the city, whether they were Dou Di experts, Half-Emperor, or even those with weaker cultivation, hoped to try to break through Xiao Yan's aura and pressure. Unfortunately, from beginning to end, not a single person actually stood up and walked into the air.
After all, they were facing a powerful expert at the Middle Origin Transformation Realm. The insurmountable gap between Dou Di and Origin Transformation Realm expert meant that no matter how hard they tried, they could not break through it. On the other hand, Xiao Yan in the sky looked at a few people in the crowd below with a look of surprise and anticipation in his eyes.
"I say, when did you become so generous with fifth-tier pills? You've only refined five Origin Gathering Pill in total, haven't you?"
Just then, Xiao Yi Xian suddenly spoke up with a mocking expression. She didn't believe that Xiao Yan could produce a fifth-grade pill. She was probably just using this to impress the Dou Di in the city.
"Hehe, you forgot, although I don't have any other pills, I did take some things from the Northern Wasteland Hall's storeroom before. There were some fifth-tier pills in there, but apart from a small portion of the ingredients being acceptable, most of them could only be used as Formed Pill with minimal effort. Rather than keeping them, it's better to give them to them."
Xiao Yan smiled slyly. Although those fifth-grade pills were barely usable, they were not considered anything special in his eyes. If they could bring him convenience, he would be happy to give them to these people.
Ten minutes later, sure enough, six people from the crowd below walked into the air. Three of them barely lifted their feet, but this was considered to have fulfilled Xiao Yan's request, and naturally, they received the reward Xiao Yan had promised.
An hour later, with Xiao Yan deliberately holding back, only about thirty people from the entire Feng City were included in his ranks. Although the number was small, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan quite satisfied. The key to victory was quality, not quantity. What Xiao Yan needed was real strength, not a bunch of scattered soldiers.
With the addition of thirty-one High-Level Dou Di, plus Liu Jin and the other two, there were thirty-four High-Level Dou Di. These three guys were quite cautious; none of the Dou Di experts from their own forces were willing to join, and they even righteously claimed that they were storing up strength for the Xiao Gate to avoid being attacked from both sides. To this, Xiao Yan could only sneer in his heart, and after a light laugh and a sarcastic remark, he led his group towards a city in the Northern Wasteland that had a teleportation array leading to the Western Region.
Along the way, the large and imposing procession attracted the attention of many. When they recognized the black-robed youth at the head of the group, their faces showed shock. Some sect leaders from passing sects even came to negotiate with them, seemingly afraid that these people were there to attack them. Some even released their sect's grand formations from afar, only relaxing after watching Xiao Yan and Xiao Yan group disappear from sight.
A few days later, this group of people arrived in a city called Wu City. The large crowd inevitably caused a sensation once again. It wasn't until this group of people stood quietly in the city's huge square, surrounded by an array, that the people in the city realized that this group of people had only come for the teleportation array.
Standing on the teleportation array, a flash of golden light appeared, and the large group of people who had just terrified everyone in the city vanished leisurely into the array...
A short while later, in the Western Region, on another huge square, golden light shone brightly, and a large group of people suddenly appeared in the city.
Standing before the crowd, Xiao Yan looked up at the sky above, a sharp glint gradually appearing in his eyes.
" Western Region, Ye Luotian, I'm back!"
