Gulan City, Xiao Yan held a map in his hand, which detailed the distribution of the major regions of the Central Region, as well as the locations of some cities and super powers. The location of the Xiao Clan was also marked in detail. In addition, Xiao Yan also noticed that the closest power to them was the Tribulation Crossing Sect. Heavenly Cloud Manor was located in the north, and Cloud Immortal Sect was located in the southeast. Among the four major powers, only the location of the Ghost Fiend Gate Sect was not marked on the map.
Putting all that aside, judging from the location of the Xiao Clan on the map, it's clear that Xiao Yan would need to undertake a considerable journey to get there. The Origin Martial Continent is vast, and the Central Region encompasses countless powerful families. While these so-called super powers may dominate a region, it doesn't mean the Central Region belongs to them. What appears to be a very short distance on the map would likely take Xiao Yan, with his current cultivation level, at least a month to reach the Xiao Clan, not to mention the presence of Xiao Yi Xian and others.
Since everyone was new to the place, they naturally had nowhere to go. Not only would Xiao Yi Xian Bai Hua follow Xiao Yan, but Li Bingrui would also not let him off easily. As for Lian'er, she would naturally follow the lead of the four people in front of her. Now that Xiao Yan was heading to the Xiao Clan, they would naturally go with him.
"Let's go to the Xiao Clan."
After greeting the others, Xiao Yan took the lead and leaped into the air. His toes lightly touched the ground, and in the blink of an eye, he was in the air. Xiao Yi Xian and the others followed closely behind, and the group flew towards the direction of the Xiao Clan on the map.
Not long after the group left, two figures swiftly flew out from within Gulan City. They glanced in the direction Xiao Yan and the others had gone, sneered, and then transformed into two black shadows, quickly giving chase.
According to the map, the place where the Xiao Clan is located is called Xiao City. The area within thousands of miles around is almost entirely under the control of the Xiao Clan. Further out are some smaller families or sects. Although those forces seem insignificant on the map, they are undoubtedly much stronger than Xiao Yan and his group.
" The Central Region is truly a place where hidden talents abound. The strength of Ancestor Fen Tian's Yuan Zong is already considered top-tier in the Southern Region, but in the Central Region, it's probably just an ordinary third-rate force at best."
"If even the experts from the Yuan Zong are only ranked in the middle to lower ranks here, then wouldn't the sect leaders of these super forces at least have the cultivation level of Yuan Zun Venerable?"
"Tsk tsk tsk... Yuan Zun, the cultivation level of just Yuan Zong expert is already this terrifying. If it were Yuan Zun..."
At this point, Xiao Yi Xian and the others couldn't help but click their tongues, their hearts filled with even greater trepidation at the formidable power of Yuan Zun expert. Xiao Yan, standing in front, smiled calmly. Although the Yuan Zun realm was still a long way off for them, compared to those powerful figures, this group was still much younger. Their cultivation talent and character were not lacking, and he believed that given enough time, becoming Yuan Zun level expert would not be difficult for them.
However, just as this group was rapidly flying towards the eastern horizon, at a certain moment, Xiao Yan, whose face was calm, suddenly frowned, and a subtle light flashed in the depths of his eyes. At the same time, his gaze quickly met that of Bai Hua beside him, who immediately noticed the warning in Xiao Yan's eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Xiao Yan and Bai Hua suddenly quiet down, Xiao Yi Xian frowned slightly and asked in a puzzled tone.
"Be careful, this might be trouble."
As he spoke, Xiao Yan's mind stirred, and the powerful Origin Qi within his body immediately began to circulate. The vast energy flowed rapidly through his meridians like ocean waves, and a purple flame gradually appeared in his pair of dark eyes.
The group's forward-flying figures came to a halt, and their wary gazes turned back in the direction they had come from. At the edge of their vision, two blurry black dots rapidly approached, and in just a few breaths, an old man and a young man appeared in their sight.
The group frowned as they watched the two unfamiliar figures from afar. They had just arrived in the Central Region and had not provoked any forces. If they had to name one, it would only be those few Origin King from before. But Xiao Yan hadn't killed them, so why this commotion?
"You two seem to have been following us for quite some time. May I ask what advice you have for us?"
Xiao Yan frowned, stepped forward, and bowed slightly to the two people not far away, speaking in a slightly somber tone.
Upon hearing this, the old man and the young man slowly approached Xiao Yan and his group. The old man's gloomy eyes swept over Lian'er among them, and then landed on Xiao Yi Xian. A glint of light flashed deep in his old eyes. With his keen eyesight, he could naturally tell that both girls possessed the Woeful Poison Body. He couldn't help but feel secretly delighted. Bringing back a Holy Maiden would bring him great benefits, but bringing back two Woeful Poison Body would undoubtedly be an even greater achievement.
As for Xu Zhen at this moment, the moment he saw Xiao Yan, his eyes were filled with endless killing intent. All the past events were still vivid in his mind. Now that Xiao Yan had appeared in front of him, he was determined to take back all the hatred from the past!
If it weren't for the greater good, he probably would have already rushed forward to fight Xiao Yan.
"Heh, I'm not here to offer my guidance; I'm here to take back the person."
The old man stroked his beard, his gaze lingering on Xiao Yan with a hint of surprise. Such a young Origin Emperor was indeed rare, especially coming from the border of the continent, which was even more astonishing. However, an Origin Emperor was still an Origin Emperor Origin Emperor after all, and in the eyes of the Yuan Zong experts, there was still too much difference.
"VIP?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's expression changed slightly, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. They had only just met these two people, so why were they asking for someone?
"The little girl behind you is the Holy Maiden of my Tribulation Crossing Sect, who has been missing for many years. I have come here to bring her back."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's expression immediately darkened. It was truly a case of what he feared coming true. Now, in the Central Region, his greatest fear was encountering the people of the Tribulation Crossing Sect, yet he hadn't expected to run into them so soon after leaving Gulan City Tribulation Crossing Sect. This was not a good thing. Since they recognized Lian'er's special physique, Xiao Yan understood that regardless of whether this girl was the Holy Maiden they spoke of, the old man was going to take her back today. But this was not what Xiao Yan wanted.
Xiao Xuan has already been taken back to his unknown family. How can Lian'er be handed over to a force he doesn't know and has no affection for? So today, I'm afraid...
