After Xiao Yan and his two companions emerged from the Ancient Ruins, the outside world was still waiting. When Leng Bingshuang and Cai'er saw the naked, muscular man behind Xiao Yan, they couldn't help but be surprised by his aura.
Another expert at the Middle Origin Transformation Realm! For them now, this is an absolute force to be reckoned with!
Of course, while everyone was noticing the Heaven-Reaching Giant Ape, it naturally turned its attention to Cai'er and Leng Bingshuang as well.
When he saw Cai'er, he couldn't help but be surprised by her youth. It was hard to imagine that a little girl who still looked somewhat immature would actually be a powerful expert at the Origin Transformation Realm, and her cultivation was even comparable to his own!
"This guy, he actually has such a monstrous talent by his side!"
He was slightly startled, and then, when his gaze fell on Leng Bingshuang, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and his whole body began to tremble involuntarily!
"She... she..."
The Heaven-Reaching Giant Ape's face turned pale, its lips trembled, and the fear in its heart was beyond words.
Facing Leng Bingshuang, he not only felt a suppression from the level of cultivation, but he could also feel the special aura within the latter, the pressure from the bloodline of the king of the Beast Realm!
The oppressive aura emanating from his very blood instilled a deep sense of terror in him, and he even felt an irresistible urge to kneel before the latter!
The laws of the Beast Realm are simple yet ruthless: when faced with a being possessing a high-level Warcraft bloodline, even if the two are not far apart in cultivation, the Heaven-Reaching Giant Ape will still lose all its combat power. This is exactly what happened to the Giant Ape when it faced Leng Bingshuang.
"Snort."
At that moment, Leng Bing Shuang suddenly turned to Xiao Yan and let out a Leng Bingshuang snort. The terrified Heaven-Reaching Giant Ape instantly snapped out of its daze, quickly controlled its emotions, and lowered its head to retreat to the side.
Xiao Yan looked at Leng Bingshuang with some confusion, and then saw the indifferent expression on Xiao Yi Xian's pretty face. He immediately had a bad feeling. As for the others, they were all silent. The atmosphere among them was inexplicably stiff.
This somewhat eerie atmosphere persisted until the group returned to the depths of the Xilin Mountain Range.
When everyone returned, they found that many powerful members of the Xiao Gate were solemnly surrounding the white-robed youth on a mountain peak. Their Dou Qi was concentrated on their bodies, and they looked extremely cautious with menacing expressions.
The young man sat quietly cross-legged, his eyes closed, saying nothing, as if waiting for something.
When Xiao Yan and his group arrived, the latter suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes and his gaze immediately fell on Xiao Yan in front of the crowd.
At the same time, Xiao Yan had already noticed the latter's presence. However, a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips. This person's arrival was truly a godsend!
Xiao Yan was very familiar with the aura of the newcomer. It was none other than the young master of the Murong Clan whom he had encountered in the Heavenly Severing Ancient Tomb, and also Murong Qianqian's brother, Murong Xuan!
Murong Xuan initially harbored considerable hostility towards Xiao Yan. However, after the Ye Luotian incident, their relationship improved considerably. Upon seeing each other again, Xiao Yan greeted him with a warm smile, while Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with shock upon first glance.
Murong Xuan clearly remembered that Xiao Yan had returned alone to the depths of the Heavenly Severing Ancient Tomb, after which the entire cave began to collapse. Logically, Xiao Yan should have perished in the tomb, but now, he was here unharmed. This truly shocked him, and at the same time, he felt somewhat fortunate.
Besides that, what surprised Murong Xuan the most was Xiao Yan's current cultivation level.
He could clearly sense that Xiao Yan's aura was now far stronger than his own.
Several years have passed, and with the inheritance he received from the Heavenly Severing Ancient Tomb, Murong Xuan's cultivation has now reached the Early Origin Transformation Realm, and he is only one step away from the Middle Origin Transformation Realm.
Unfortunately, while such cultivation might be considered monstrous among most of the younger generation, it was still far inferior to Xiao Yan's current level.
" Murong Xuan, what brings you here?"
Leng Bingshuang Leng Bingshuang was undoubtedly much more familiar with this person than Xiao Yan was, and upon seeing him, she couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Uh... hehe, Sister Bing Shuang, it's like this, I've come here today to talk to you about something, but... your welcoming party is a bit too grand."
Murong Xuan glanced at the group of Xiao Gate members around him and couldn't help but smile mockingly. Xiao Yan and the others also came closer, and only then did the group retreat.
"Hehe, Brother Murong, it's been several years. How have you been?"
As soon as he approached, Xiao Yan spoke with a smile on his face. At the same time, his gleaming eyes scanned the latter from head to toe, and he nodded repeatedly, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
If he could have the help of the person in front of him, his chances of winning against Qinhuang Lost Valley would undoubtedly increase significantly.
"Well..."
Noticing Xiao Yan's blatant gaze, Murong Xuan was startled. Leng Bingshuang behind him, however, frowned, glanced at Xiao Yan, and asked in confusion:
"What, you two know each other?"
"That's right, I met Mr. Xiao Yan a few times back in the Heavenly Severing Ancient Tomb."
Murong Xuan kept his gaze fixed on Xiao Yan in front of him, his eyes flickering slightly as he spoke.
"Haha, it's more than just a few meetings. Back then, Ye Luotian, together with Qin Yun, the young master of Qinhuang Lost Valley, almost put Brother Murong to death. You haven't forgotten that, have you?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan grinned, but there was a hint of deliberate intent in his words. The other Xiao Yan, in turn, gave a dry laugh and clasped their hands in thanks, but their expression was Leng Bingshuang. Their brows furrowed, and they said in a low voice:
"What, you've had contact with people from Qinhuang Lost Valley?"
Upon hearing this, Murong Xuan felt helpless. He had clearly come with a mission, so why was he being asked about what happened back then? And judging from Leng Bingshuang's expression, she seemed to care quite a bit about it.
Left with no other choice, Murong Xuan recounted how Ye Luotian and his group had deliberately caused trouble for them. Although Leng Bingshuang only heard the gist of it, she understood how dangerous it was. However, she was somewhat surprised by Xiao Yan's intervention.
" Ye Luotian... Qinhuang Lost Valley, ten days from now, I will make you pay a bloody price!"
Her Leng Bingshuang, frosty eyes were fixed on the void before her. Her jade-like hand slowly clenched into a fist, and the void before her suddenly exploded with a bang. This scene sent chills down the spines of the people behind her, and even Xiao Yan couldn't help but subconsciously purse his lips.
However, what Leng Bingshuang said next made Xiao Yan overjoyed.
" Murong Xuan, you should stay in the Xilin Mountain Range for now. Ten days from now, when we have our final battle with Qinhuang Lost Valley, we will take back all the humiliation you suffered!"
