" Ghost Hall!"
As Xiao Yan uttered his words, Xing Qian and Han Dong's expressions suddenly changed, and a look of astonishment appeared in their eyes. They never expected that Ye Luotian would be related to the Ghost Hall.
Immediately, the two exchanged another glance, and when they saw the look of astonishment in each other's eyes, their shock intensified.
"Little guy, are you sure that the force supporting Ye Luotian is really the Ghost Hall?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded with certainty and gave a general description of the Ghost Hall's attire. This immediately dispelled any doubts Xing Qian and the other man had about.
Even so, Xing Qian still did not agree to Xiao Yan's proposal to form an alliance.
" Xiao Yan, your message has indeed shocked us greatly, but the rules of the alliance cannot be broken. You should go back first."
Xing Qian frowned and pondered for a moment before speaking with slight hesitation. At the same time, Han Dong glanced at the two of them, his gaze quickly meeting Xing Qian's. He nodded almost imperceptibly, then turned to Xiao Yan and said:
" Xiao Yan, why don't you go back first? Of course, we also know that this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Just to be on the safe side, we can promise you that the alliance will continue to observe the situation. If absolutely necessary, we will ensure your safety."
The two men's repeated attempts to dissuade him left Xiao Yan somewhat helpless. After thanking them, he left on his own.
After Xiao Yan left the stone chamber, Xing Qian and the other person inside immediately became serious.
"It's unbelievable that they would get involved in this matter. And judging from the looks of it, it seems they're even trying to use Qinhuang Lost Valley as a cover, perhaps to secretly control the Western Region?"
" The Ghost Hall... It's been years since we've heard anything big from them. I never expected that their first move would be to annex the Western Region. They really have a big appetite!"
At this moment, both of them were repeatedly recalling the great battle between Xiao Yan and Qinhuang Lost Valley. In particular, when they thought of the Ghost Hall, they felt an inexplicable unease.
Even they knew very little about this strange force. Although they also came from the Central Region, the only thing they knew about the Ghost Hall was that its main branch was a force in the Central Region called the Ghost Fiend Gate, and...
"President, should we report this to our superiors?"
Han Dong suddenly spoke.
Upon hearing this, Xing Qian pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said:
"It's better not to. The Ghost Hall in the Western Region is acting strangely, but we don't know what's happening in the other regions. Let's notify them first, and report back to our superiors after we've investigated the reasons."
Han Dong then nodded, and the two in the stone chamber fell into deep thought again. At the same time, Xiao Yan was heading towards the Western Lin Region with a suspicious look on his face.
Judging from the expressions on Xing Qian and the other man's faces, they were quite wary of the Ghost Hall and seemed very surprised by the appearance of the Ghost Hall's people. From this, it is not difficult to guess that the Alchemist Alliance has been secretly watching the Ghost Hall's actions for a long time.
Then there's Luo Jin's group. The existence of these forces made Xiao Yan secretly think that their existence didn't seem like an extension of their power. Instead, it seemed like they were mutually restraining each other.
Soon, Xiao Yan returned to the Xilin Mountain Range. Seeing that he had returned safely, Xiao Yi Xian and the others in the mountains breathed a sigh of relief. Among them, the one who was most worried about Xiao Yan was Leng Bingshuang, whose pretty face seemed cold.
For some reason, seeing Xiao Yan return made her feel much more relaxed and happy than others. The pent-up anger in her chest also dissipated. Recalling the past two days when Xiao Yan was not around, her mind was filled with his image of him in a black robe with a smile on his face. At the same time, the so-called hatred in her heart had unknowingly disappeared.
After Xiao Yan returned to the Xilin Mountain Range, he quickly began to reorganize. On the ninth day, he led a group of powerful figures behind him toward Shahepu. At the same time, powerful figures from all sides in the Western Region were also paying close attention to this great battle with their own actions.
Before Xiao Yan and his group even arrived, Shahepu was already packed with people. Powerful figures and sects from all corners of the Western Region had gathered here, all for the upcoming battle between Xiao Yan and Qinhuang Lost Valley.
Meanwhile, the Qinhuang Lost Valley forces led by Qin Shuo were also heading towards Shahepu. Ye Luotian was the only one missing from the group, as he was currently in the Pingshan Western Hollow.
Pingshan Western Hollow.
Ye Luotian stared at the empty space in front of him with an extremely ugly expression, then glanced at the intact restriction behind him. His Elder Zhang was trembling with anger.
When Ye Luotian first arrived here and saw the six Nine-Star Dou Di from the outside world being killed, he immediately understood that this was definitely the work of the Origin Transformation Realm expert. However, what relieved him was that the restriction he left deep in the Pingshan Western Hollow was intact. This probably meant that after killing those six people, the Origin Transformation Realm expert saw the restriction, figured out some of the tricks to it, and should have given up.
To his utter surprise, when he entered the space behind the barrier, he was dumbfounded to find that although the barrier he had set up was still there and showed no signs of being tampered with, the more than thirty key figures in this great battle had all vanished without a trace!
Not only did they leave no trace of their presence, but Ye Luotian himself was also unable to detect their communication!
"What... what's going on... what's going on! Who! Who did this?!"
Deep within the Pingshan Western Hollow, Ye Luotian suddenly raised his head, letting out a deafening roar. A powerful force surged outward from his body, and the terrifying destructive power leveled the Pingshan Western Hollow in an instant!
Unfortunately, no matter how furious he became, the more than thirty Dou Di experts who had disappeared, including Lü Zhongtian, were destined never to return.
Time flew by, and the agreed-upon tenth day had arrived.
As the sun rose in the east and climbed to the treetops, Xiao Yan and his group arrived at Shahepu.
Several years have passed, and today I return to this place, but it has changed drastically.
His first trip to Shahepu was to escort Murong Qianqian, but he was delayed halfway there. The second time, he met Han Dong here and faced the sect leaders of the Four Great Sects. Back then, he was still weak and needed the protection of others. But in the blink of an eye, he has now arrived in Shahepu for the third time. This time, Xiao Yan has already stood among the strongest in the Western Region and holds the future destiny of the Western Region in his hands!
