Seeing Xiao Yan lower his hand again, Li Gan's tense nerves relaxed slightly. He knew in his heart that he had to hand over the Void Lightning Pool Invitation to Xiao Yan no matter what.
At the same time, Li Gan also deeply remembered the humiliation Xiao Yan had given him, and he believed that one day he would repay Xiao Yan in full!
Taking a deep breath, Li Gan tried his best to calm himself down. After a moment, a smile appeared on Li Gan's face. The smile was so peaceful that it was as if nothing had happened between him and Xiao Yan.
Facing Xiao Yan, Li Gan flipped his right palm, and a bright silver invitation card appeared out of thin air in Li Gan hand. Then, with a burst of energy from Li Gan palm, he sent the invitation card hurtling towards Xiao Yan.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan also reached out with one hand, using two fingers to break through the energy contained in the Void Lightning Pool Invitation, then caught it in his palm, glanced at it, and put it away.
Xiao Yan knew that with Elder Luo watching over him, Li Gan to do anything shady, so he was quite at ease.
Looking at Xiao Yan with a pained expression as he put the Void Lightning Pool Invitation that he had worked so hard to obtain into his pocket, Li Gan felt quite helpless. Now that it had fallen into Xiao Yan's hands, he could only give it up!
With a slight bow, Li Gan cupped his hands to Elder Luo, said "Retreat," and was about to turn and leave with Li Kang when Xiao Yan's voice suddenly rang out again.
"Brother Li Gan, you really are leaving so suddenly! Have you forgotten that you still owe me an apology?"
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, not only Li Gan but even Elder Luo standing beside him raised an eyebrow. An apology? You just took that, didn't you? Why are you asking for it back now? Do you really want to force them into a fight to the death?
When Li Gan turned around, his expression was somewhat gloomy. The repeated harassment was clearly an attempt to force him to take action!
Xiao Yan, however, still had a faint smile on his lips as he looked at Li Gan, as if waiting for him to take something.
Despite Xiao Yan's expression and actions, coupled with the flame disc he had his eye on and the waves of flame power assaulting him, Li Gan not only didn't feel hot, but also felt a chill creeping into his heart.
Xiao Yan knew that Li Gan couldn't come up with anything, but Elder Luo, with his shrewdness, immediately understood the meaning of Xiao Yan's words.
"Brother Li Gan, have you forgotten so quickly? You just said that this Void Lightning Pool Invitation was a gift from you, and that as for an apology, that's a separate matter, isn't that right?"
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Li Gan's expression instantly froze, followed by an involuntary twitch at the corner of his mouth. His previous words were merely polite remarks; how could Xiao Yan have taken them seriously? Wasn't he digging his own grave?
Although he was getting angrier the more he thought about it, Xiao Yan was being protected by Elder Luo at the moment. As long as Elder Luo was there, even if Xiao Yan went a little too far, Elder Luo probably wouldn't interfere.
Thinking of this, Li Gan felt an indescribable sense of humiliation, but no matter how humiliated he felt, it couldn't change the fact that he had been thoroughly tricked by Xiao Yan.
Li Gan Li Gan his hand again, and a crystal no bigger than his palm appeared in his hand.
With a painful final look at the crystal, Li Gan no longer hesitated, and as if afraid he might change his mind, he directly raised his hand and hurled it at Xiao Yan.
The way he threw the crystal seemed to be venting his emotions, making the people watching below unable to help but laugh.
When Xiao Yan casually accepted the crystal, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, which he then perfectly concealed.
He looked up and gave Li Gan a warm smile, causing Li Gan's lips to twitch violently again. Then, the father and son quickly left after saying goodbye to Elder Luo.
Meanwhile, the Buddha's Fury Reincarnation in Xiao Yan's palm transformed once again into even purer and more powerful Dou Qi, returning to the Qi vortex within Xiao Yan's body.
After Li Gan and his son left, the dozen or so Half-Emperor below all ascended up and stood before Elder Luo Elder Luo, bowing respectfully to him.
This scene drew sighs from the crowd in the city below. It was truly an advantage to be a powerful figure. No matter how arrogant someone was, they had to bow and show respect to him.
Of course, after these dozen or Half-Emperor finished paying their respects to Elder Luo, they didn't forget that Xiao Yan, who was pretending to be weak but actually strong, was still there. They all stepped forward and chatted with Xiao Yan.
Even the Three-Star Half-Emperor who had fought Xiao Yan before still looked somewhat apprehensive as he chatted and laughed with Xiao Yan. His attitude towards Xiao Yan was extremely humble.
Of course, Xiao Yan felt no arrogance. He knew that although he had the strength to challenge opponents of higher levels, that was only possible when he had given his all.
After that attack, Xiao Yan would fall into a period of true weakness, and any Half-Emperor would be able to kill him easily.
The reason these people were treating him with such respect was partly due to his own strength, but probably more so because of Elder Luo who had just left.
They witnessed firsthand how Elder Luo had taken care of Xiao Yan. If Xiao Yan truly befriended Elder Luo Elder Luo, with such a powerful figure protecting him, he would inevitably become a powerful figure with boundless strength in the future.
Befriending Xiao Yan at this time is tantamount to befriending Elder Luo through Xiao Yan. What they value is nothing more than Elder Luo's expectations for Xiao Yan. What does strength matter? If you can't beat someone, can't you just hide? The continent is so big, what can't you do?
Xiao Yan was too lazy to bother with any of this. After chatting and laughing with the group for a while, he left on his own.
After exchanging sarcastic remarks for a while, these Half-Emperor dispersed, no longer bothering with anything else.
That very night, a figure quietly left the Ancient Wilderness City and flew swiftly into the deep mountains and forests outside the city. In just a few breaths, he had already covered thousands of miles.
Then, a series of ear-piercing sonic booms echoed through the forest, and countless low-level magical beasts were forcibly blasted to death by the terrifying sonic booms.
This night, seemingly peaceful, turned into a bloody one...
