Although the Blood Flame Bird had been thoroughly beaten by Xiao Yan, the injuries were only superficial and did not cause any serious damage to its body. Therefore, after the Blood Flame Bird Blood Flame Bird agreed to Xiao Yan's request, the Blood Flame Bird did not linger and leaped onto its back. After saying goodbye to Liu Ya, they set off again.
"Well..."
Gazing in the direction where Xiao Yan and the others had left, Liu Ya finally let out a long sigh after a long while.
"At least nothing bad happened. If something had happened to that guy, I really wouldn't know how to explain it to his father!"
Recalling the seemingly perilous scenes from before, Liu Ya felt a pang of fear in his heart.
"Ancestor, this Xiao Yan..."
"He's no ordinary character. Judging from his earlier move, both his speed and strength surpassed mine. So young, yet possessing such terrifying combat power. Heh, I've never heard of such a person in the Southern Region before!"
Upon hearing his ancestor's evaluation of Xiao Yan, Liu Changsheng was immediately surprised. He hadn't expected Xiao Yan's combat strength to be so formidable that even his ancestor admitted he was no match for him.
"But if that's the case, why didn't our ancestor allow our clan to have more contact with him?"
Since they were facing a genius with such terrifying cultivation, talent, and combat power, ordinary forces would usually try to be on good terms with him. However, before this, Liu Ya warned Liu Changsheng not to have too much contact with him. In fact, Liu Ya was quite reluctant at first regarding the Blood Flame Bird.
"I know you're doing this for the family's good, but precisely because this kid's talent is so dazzling, it's even more necessary for our Liu Clan to distance ourselves from him. You must understand, he's not just facing Sea Cloud Palace now. As far as I know, there seems to be a powerful force manipulating everything behind Fu Yulong. Otherwise, with the Sea Cloud Palace's strength, how could they expand so aggressively in this southwestern border region? So-called Origin Return Realm experts are never lacking on this continent."
In the void, Liu Ya squinted, a hint of helplessness deep within his cloudy old eyes.
Xiao Yan's talent is certainly admirable, but before he has truly matured, he dares not gamble with the future of the Liu Clan!
"Alright, let's go back."
Liu Ya turned around leisurely, intending to leave, but when his gaze swept across the valley below and he saw the ruins of the mountains and valleys, his Elder Zhang face froze in shock.
This canyon was the result of centuries of work by the Liu Clan, yet Xiao Yan and his group turned it all into ruins in a mere moment. This...
"Well..."
Liu Ya's old face twitched involuntarily, and after a long while, he suddenly turned around and shouted.
"Chase him! Get him back and make him pay!"
The roar was like thunder, but unfortunately, the person had already left, and it was too late to chase after them.
In the blink of an eye, two days had passed since they left Liu Cang City. With the Blood Flame Bird as their flying beast, Xiao Yan and the others had a very easy and pleasant journey.
Using Late Origin Transformation Realm magical beast as a flying beast is an incredibly extravagant act. In the Southern Region, apart from a few major powers, very few people can enjoy such treatment. Therefore, when Xiao Yan and his group passed through some larger cities along the way, they attracted the attention of many powerful figures. If Xiao Yan hadn't urged the Blood Flame Bird to leave faster, they would have been in trouble.
At this moment, the Blood Flame Bird spread its broad wings and flew leisurely forward in the clouds. Its wings trembled slightly from time to time, and its speed suddenly increased.
Xiao Yan and the others were sitting cross-legged on the back of the Blood Flame Bird, their eyes closed, slowly cultivating during this short time. The howling wind rang in their ears, but Xiao Yan seemed not to hear it. Although the oncoming gale was particularly strong, it did not even stir the black robe Xiao Yan was wearing.
At this moment, Xiao Yan looked like a statue; if it weren't for the slight breathing coming from his nose, he would be almost undetectable.
Nearby, Xiao Yi Xian was also fully immersed in cultivation, striving to improve her own cultivation level.
Ever since Xiao Yan brought her back from that mountain forest, Xiao Yi Xian has been cultivating even more diligently. Her diligence is so great that it even evokes a sense of pity. All she does is hope to use every moment to improve her cultivation so that she can help Xiao Yan.
Although she now has the puppet given to her by Xiao Yan for protection, Xiao Yi Xian clearly understands that the puppet is ultimately an external possession. Without sufficient strength, even a puppet cannot protect her. The Tian Brothers, who were killed by Xiao Yan, have perfectly demonstrated this principle to them.
Of all these people, Luo Jin was probably the only one who was truly at ease.
Because of the unique nature of his cultivation method, almost all of his power comes from rare and precious natural treasures. Gaining power through ordinary cultivation is much slower than for ordinary people. Therefore, rather than engaging in such tedious activities, he prefers to leisurely appreciate the scenery of this world. Meanwhile, the image of a certain person occasionally appears in Luo Jin's mind...
Every smile and frown, even if it was just a fleeting encounter, left an indelible mark on him.
Standing at the very front of the crowd, Luo Jin turned his head to look at the huge, pure white cloud in the distance. The thick cloud layer was like a mountain, and unknowingly, the thick white cloud that resembled a mountain transformed into a fair and beautiful face.
Staring blankly at the departing white cloud, Luo Jin wore a silly grin, but suddenly heard a faint sound of energy explosion.
As the sound and aura of that energy fluctuation gradually approached, Xiao Yan, Zhou Tai, and the others opened their eyes one after another. When they looked up, Xiao Yan saw Luo Jin's silly grin, and he was slightly taken aback, a strange look appearing on his face.
"What's wrong? Has the wind blown this guy silly?"
Xiao Yan chuckled and cursed, and the people behind him burst into laughter. Only Xiao Yi Xian stared at Luo Jin, lost in thought.
"There seems to be trouble ahead, everyone. Fly slowly and try to avoid them."
Xiao Yan was already used to such unexpected situations on the road, so he didn't bother with them. He reminded the Blood Flame Bird, then looked ahead and prepared to bypass the war zone.
"Boom boom boom..."
The closer they got, the clearer the collision sounds in the sky became. At the same time, a cold laugh and angry curses reached Xiao Yan and the others' ears. However, when Luo Jin heard the sound for the first time, his expression suddenly became tense, and the Origin Qi in his body's vortex also rose.
