"Which hand did you use to injure him?"
The cold words, devoid of any emotion, seemed to emanate from the deepest hell, sending chills down one's spine.
The moment Xiao Yan uttered those words, the temperature in the area suddenly turned extremely cold, making the onlookers feel as if they were in an icy cellar, experiencing a deep and terrifying chill.
When the crowd saw Xiao Yan's face, some immediately recognized him as the black-robed man who had fought off the hurricane in the street earlier.
Judging from this moment, this seemingly young fellow actually appears to be a Half-Emperor expert!
Upon realizing this, a collective gasp rippled through the crowd outside the arena, and a solemn expression appeared on everyone's faces. It seemed that this young man in black robes was no ordinary person!
To reach the level of Half-Emperor at such a young age, in this Ancient Wilderness City, one could hardly be an ordinary person!
"Tsk tsk... Looks like these four's wishful thinking is going to fall through!"
Among the crowd, an elderly man, upon witnessing this scene, let out a soft sigh and slowly smiled.
As soon as the old man spoke, the surrounding crowd immediately turned their attention to him. The old man chuckled again, his old eyes flashing with a sharp light as he looked at Xiao Yan in the arena. Then, his old eyes narrowed, and he laughed:
"Hehe... This young man's identity is far from ordinary; if I were to reveal it, you would all be quite surprised!"
Upon hearing the old man's indistinct words, the crowd immediately erupted in commotion, but the old man pretended not to hear, and the smile on his lips gradually widened.
After a long pause, he clasped his hands in a fist salute to Xiao Yan, and at the same time, slowly chuckled as he spoke:
"This senior has been missing from the city for a month, and he is the one everyone has been constantly talking about and mocking during this month. He is the ultimate source of the forced postponement of the Alchemist Grand Meeting — Yan Xiao!"
These words struck like a bolt from the blue, leaving everyone outside stunned. The black-robed youth who had just swiftly saved Qin Zhong was actually the cowardly Yan Xiao they had been talking about?!
Instantly, everyone turned their attention to Xiao Yan. Even the four Half-Emperor in the arena looked at Xiao Yan with surprise. Was this man really Yan Xiao, who had disappeared for a month?
Ignoring the gazes of the crowd, Xiao Yan merely smiled with slight surprise as he looked at the old man and asked with a smile:
"Sir, you truly have discerning eyes. How did you recognize me as Yan Xiao?"
Upon hearing this, the old man extended his hands even more respectfully, his old eyes turning towards Xiao Yan, and he smiled:
"You flatter me, sir. It's not that I have a discerning eye; it's just that I had the honor of meeting you once before, which is why I recognize you."
Xiao Yan smiled and didn't ask any further questions about it. If they recognized him, so be it; it wasn't a big deal. Right now, his focus was on the four Half-Emperor in front of him.
Looking down at Qin Zhong, who was breathing weakly in his arms, Xiao Yan frowned slightly, and a cold glint slowly appeared in his eyes.
Although Qin Zhong was weak, he was immediately excited when he saw Xiao Yan. He tried to get up from Xiao Yan, but in the end, he could only be gently laid down on the ground by Xiao Yan.
Just as Qin Zhong was about to say something, before he could even utter the words, Xiao Yan casually stuffed a pill the size of a longan into Qin Zhong's mouth.
The moment the pill entered his mouth, it instantly transformed into a torrent of extremely pure energy, rapidly surging into Qin Zhong's body.
Wherever the medicinal power of the pills passed, the strength within Qin Zhong's body was rapidly restored at a speed visible to the naked eye, which caused a sudden look of surprise to appear in Qin Zhong's eyes.
Xiao Yan smiled slightly upon seeing this, offering no further explanation. He simply nodded to reassure him, then stood up, slowly turned around, and looked at the four Half-Emperor.
These four Half-Emperor- emperors had obviously heard of Xiao Yan's reputation. Back then, the Li Clan patriarch was Six-Star Half-Emperor level expert, but he still couldn't gain any advantage in front of this black-robed youth. This made them deeply aware of Xiao Yan's power!
But now that things have come to this, with the Void Lightning Pool Invitation so close at hand, how could they possibly be willing to give up!
As Xiao Yan's gaze fell upon the four Half-Emperor experts, the strongest among them, Four-Star Half-Emperor, also looked at Xiao Yan with a cold expression and sneered:
"What, you're Yan Xiao? After hiding for a month, you finally couldn't resist coming out. Well, that's fine. I remember you also have a Void Lightning Pool Invitation that you got from Li Gan. Now, it's time to hand it over to me for safekeeping!"
Facing the old man opposite him, who was also dressed in black robes, Xiao Yan sneered. He slowly raised his hand from under his sleeve, his fair hand dazzling in the sunlight.
With a thought, a bright silver invitation card appeared in Xiao Yan's hand in an instant, accompanied by a flash of light.
Xiao Yan, expressionless and with indifferent eyes, looked at the old man and slowly spoke in an icy tone:
"Now tell me, which hand did you use to hurt him just now!"
Despite Xiao Yan's extremely cold words, the old man remained calm, his eyes fixed on the Void Lightning Pool Invitation in Xiao Yan's hand, and said in a slow and unhurried tone:
"I know you possess an extremely powerful Dou Technique, enough to allow you to contend with Six-Star Half-Emperor. But right now, I have four Half-Emperor here. Do you think you have any right to speak to me like this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man took a sudden step forward, and at the same time, an incomparably terrifying aura suddenly swept towards Xiao Yan!
Seeing this, Xiao Yan's eyes grew even colder. He snorted coldly and took a half-step forward. A terrifying aura, no weaker than that of the old man, suddenly pressed down on him!
The moment the two touched, the old man's expression changed instantly. He hadn't expected that, with his strength, when he tried to suppress Xiao Yan's aura, the other party was not inferior to him at all. Yan Xiao's strength was truly terrifying!
At this moment, the other three Half-Emperor behind the old man also saw that something was wrong and stepped forward, taking a step towards Xiao Yan. Their aura Three-Star Half-Emperor was also revealed at this moment.
However, just when the old man thought he could suppress Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan let out another cold snort, his body trembled, and his aura exploded instantly!
Instantly, an aura even more terrifying than the four combined surged forth from Xiao Yan's body, completely crushing the auras of the four Half-Emperor!
