The group of seven left Qingyang City and headed southeast. At this time, there was still nearly a month before the sect competition in Burning Flame Valley, so the group traveled at a leisurely pace.
The Three Sects of the Southern Region are located in the Far Southern Land of the Southern Region. This group of people set off from Qingyang City on the southwestern border and will travel through the entire Southern Region. Along the way, they will be able to appreciate the prosperity of the Southern Region. Especially as they get closer to the Burning Flame Valley, the prosperity there is even more astonishing to ordinary people.
Xiao Yan and his group's first stop on this trip was a city called Liu Cang City. Although they had traveled for several days and passed through many cities, only Liu Cang City, which they saw today, was such a large city. In terms of its area alone, it was probably comparable to the Ancient Wilderness City on the southwestern border.
As soon as the group entered the city, they immediately sensed many powerful auras within.
"This Liu Cang City truly lives up to its reputation as one of the few major cities on the southwestern border. It's astonishing that it boasts no fewer than ten experts at the Origin Transformation Realm."
Sensing the powerful auras within the city, Zhou Tai raised an eyebrow. Although he had never been to Liu Cang City before, he had heard of its reputation. While it might not be considered one of the top cities in the Southern Region, its power was certainly not to be underestimated.
"Hehe, as far as I know, Liu Cang City is one of the few cities on the southwestern border that has not been annexed by the Sea Cloud Palace!"
Upon hearing Zhou Tai's words, Luo Jin pursed his lips slightly, gazing into the distance towards the depths of the city. With his powerful Spiritual Strength, he could sense that deep within Liu Cang City, there was a person with extremely strong cultivation. Perhaps it was because of his existence that Liu Cang City had not been incorporated into the Sea Cloud Palace.
"With the Origin Return Realm expert overseeing it, Fu Yulong naturally wouldn't want to annex it."
Xiao Yan, who was also aware of this, smiled slightly. He had already sensed the owner of that aura when they entered the city.
Let's find a place to rest first; we can continue our journey tomorrow.
Xiao Yan turned his head and glanced at Xiao Yi Xian, who looked slightly tired, a look of pity appearing in his eyes.
The others nodded in understanding and then headed into the city.
Along the way, the group of seven swaggered down the middle of the street, attracting the attention of many passersby. In particular, the presence of Xiao Yi Xian made the men in the crowd drool. Her captivating beauty, like that of a fairy from another world, made many of them secretly swallow hard.
"This young lady is really beautiful, just as good-looking as the one we saw before!"
"Hehe, she is beautiful, but she's a bit too cold. Her eyes seem to freeze you alive."
"What do you know? That kind of woman is what makes a woman so exciting!"
"Buzz!"
The lewd and obscene words spoken by the crowd around them were enough to make the people tremble violently at the mere glance from Xiao Yi Xian as she walked forward. The chilling killing intent made their scalps tingle, and the words that were about to come out were instantly swallowed back.
"Let's go, ignore it."
Xiao Yan turned to Xiao Yi Xian and spoke softly, his gaze sweeping over the group before turning back and continuing on his way. At the same time, a faint blue flame deep within his eyes vanished...
Not long after the group had gone far away, those who had previously shown lewd looks to Xiao Yi Xian were all turned into ice sculptures in the horrified gazes of those around them.
Soon, the seven of them checked into a villa in Liu Cang City.
As Xiao Yan and his group entered the city, in a huge manor in the heart of Liu Cang City, an old man who was quietly drinking tea suddenly stood up and looked in the direction where Xiao Yan and his group were.
"Why are there suddenly so many powerful individuals in my Liu Cang City?"
He murmured something to himself, then his eyes shifted to the guards at the courtyard gate, and he said in a slightly hesitant tone:
"Go and summon the head of the family to me immediately."
Upon hearing this, the guard immediately bowed and withdrew.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yan and his companions, who had checked into the villa, were also resting. After several days of travel, Xiao Yan was fine, but with the current cultivation levels of Xiao Yi Xian and Mu Leng, it was quite tiring for them to follow Xiao Yan's group for so long. That's why Xiao Yan chose to rest temporarily in Liu Cang City today.
However, less than half an hour after Xiao Yan and his group checked into the villa, a middle-aged man dressed in brocade robes suddenly arrived outside the villa.
When the people in the villa saw this middle-aged man, their faces immediately showed surprise. They never expected that he would appear in a villa in the city. This was truly a strange thing.
However, when the manager of the villa heard the information the middle-aged man inquired about, his face showed an even more surprised expression, because the matter the middle-aged man asked about was precisely where Xiao Yan and the others were.
A moment later.
"Clang clang clang."
With a few knocks on the door, Xiao Yan, who was resting cross-legged in the room, was immediately awakened. He leaped to the ground and appeared in front of the door.
When Xiao Yan opened the door, standing outside were Luo Jin and the others. In addition, there was a middle-aged man, who was the same middle-aged man who had asked the manager of the villa where Xiao Yan and the others were staying earlier.
What happened?
Xiao Yan frowned and glanced at the middle-aged man, then looked at Luo Jin and asked in a doubtful voice.
"Hehe, I apologize for disturbing you all. I am Liu Changsheng, the head of the Liu Clan in Liu Cang City. I have come here specifically to invite you all to my Liu Clan for a chat."
Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged man's gaze, which had been fixed on Luo Jin, fell on Xiao Yan. He then clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, his face beaming with a friendly smile.
He was already extremely surprised when he saw Luo Jin leading a group of people, but he didn't expect that all these people would be focusing their attention on this young man in black robes. Judging from this, he seemed to be the core of this group.
Judging from appearance alone, this is something that middle-aged people really can't understand!
If his grandfather hadn't told him beforehand to treat them with utmost respect, he probably wouldn't have bowed and clasped his hands in greeting to a junior.
" The Middle Origin Transformation Realm..."
He muttered something to himself, then Xiao Yan eyes flashed, and he immediately spoke:
"I apologize, we came here without any intention of disturbing you. We simply wish to rest here for the night. If there is nothing important, I think Patriarch Liu Clan, please leave."
He understood the man's intentions without needing to say more. The man simply thought his group was too strong and feared they might cause trouble in the city, so he came to test them. Now that he had made his intentions clear, the man should naturally go back.
