Xiao Yan paused slightly and looked up. The sky was now filled with dozens of figures. Apart from a few familiar ones, everyone else was looking at Xiao Yan with curiosity.
These people were all there to watch the Alchemist Grand Meeting, and their strength was all at the Half-Emperor level. Even the weakest among them had reached the level of Three-Star Half-Emperor!
In this light, Xiao Yan's strength is indeed somewhat inadequate compared to these people.
"Hehe, President Gu Li, it's been a month, and I've really missed you terribly!"
Upon seeing the elderly figure in the void, Xiao Yan immediately smiled and chuckled.
When the group of Half-Emperor heard that the person below was actually Yan Xiao, who had been missing for a month, they all couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
They then looked at each other in bewilderment, and began to redefine their perception of Xiao Yan.
There have always been rumors that Xiao Yan was too cowardly to participate in the Alchemist Grand Meeting, but these are just things known to ordinary people; these Half-Emperor- emperors do not believe them at all.
However, they had always been curious about Xiao Yan's sudden disappearance, and now that they saw Xiao Yan, they naturally had their own opinions about him.
Gu Li smiled upon hearing this, then her gaze fell on the old man at Xiao Yan's feet. A look of surprise flashed across her eyes, and after a long while, she finally asked with some doubt.
"This is..."
But before Gu Li could finish speaking, another figure swiftly flew in from the far end of the street. Xiao Yan smiled upon seeing this and said:
"It seems Brother Qin has almost recovered!"
Before Qin Zhong even reached Xiao Yan, his clear voice rang out. Qin Zhong looked at Xiao Yan with gratitude and laughed heartily.
"Hahaha, we have to thank Brother Yan Xiao for his pills! Otherwise, after taking that blow from that guy, I don't know when I would have recovered!"
At this point, without Xiao Yan needing to say more, Gu Li understood that this matter was probably caused by Qin Zhong.
After exchanging a few words with Qin Zhong, Xiao Yan raised his gaze to Gu Li, then glanced at the group of Half-Emperor experts in the sky. He smiled lightly and addressed Gu Li:
"Hehe, it's nothing, just a small matter, but it's been resolved. However, I don't know how to get so many Half-Emperor level experts to come and greet me!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, the numerous Half-Emperor in the void couldn't help but burst into laughter at his humorous remark.
They certainly weren't there to welcome Xiao Yan. If it weren't for that terrifying explosion just now, they wouldn't have been alerted and ended up here.
At this moment, in this sky, the only ones who dislike Xiao Yan and have gloomy expressions are probably Mo Zhai and Old Monster Hu standing in the corner!
At this moment, Mo Zhai was filled with rage upon seeing Xiao Yan standing unharmed in this Ancient Wilderness City.
He was severely injured by Elder Luo's attack a month ago, and he held Xiao Yan responsible for all of that!
If it weren't for Xiao Yan, the Alchemist Grand Meeting would probably have ended long ago, and the Alchemist Guild in this Ancient Wilderness City would be under their jurisdiction.
But because of this Yan Xiao, their perfect plan was shattered time and time again. What he hated most was that Xiao Yan's alchemy skills were also terrifying!
At such a young age, he already possessed such terrifying strength, and he also had some kind of rare Heavenly Flames on his body, as well as unique Dou Technique. No matter which one of these things was true, it was enough to move him deeply!
Since Xiao Yan arrived in this Ancient Wilderness City, he first overcame a three-star gap to fight against Six-Star Half-Emperor; then, in full view of everyone, he summoned the awe-inspiring Elder Luo; and in the Alchemist Guild, he single-handedly obtained the Second-Tier Alchemist badge!
Upon closer inspection, it seems as if Xiao Yan had come to the Alchemist Grand Meeting from the very beginning.
He charged ahead recklessly, unstoppable by anyone. Even the Seven-Star Half-Emperor he sent to kill Xiao Yan was like throwing meat buns to a dog – they never returned!
The Xiao Yan before my eyes looks just like an ancient monster trapped in a young skin!
"You bastard! So what if you come back? When the conference starts, I'll still make you fall at my feet!"
Compared to Mo Zhai, Old Monster Hu saw things much more clearly. From the very first glance at Xiao Yan, he had already sensed that Xiao Yan's aura had reached the peak of the Peak of the Late Three-Star Half-Emperor Stage, and was only one step away from becoming Four-Star Half-Emperor!
" Mo Zhai, have you noticed anything different about Yan Xiao compared to a month ago? I have a feeling that something is off about him..."
At this moment, Old Monster Hu narrowed his eyes slightly, staring intently at Xiao Yan, and asked Mo Zhai, who was standing to the side, through telepathy.
Having been on the same boat as Mo Zhai, Old Monster Hu was naturally aware of the matter concerning Fang Xun and the other two, so he dared not underestimate Xiao Yan. Now, when he asked questions, he was unwilling to let go of any detail about Xiao Yan.
Mo Zhai frowned slightly upon hearing this. Since Old Monster Hu had said so, it was better to believe it than not to believe it at all.
Immediately, Mo Zhai also turned his gaze towards Xiao Yan, and with a thought, his Spiritual Strength rapidly expanded, carefully surrounding Xiao Yan...
Xiao Yan, who was chatting and laughing with Gu Li and the others, felt the faint Spiritual Strength around him. A cold smile slowly appeared on his lips as he let it slowly envelop his entire body.
After absorbing and refining the Spiritual Strength of the Hei Mu, Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength is now no weaker than Mo Zhai's. Therefore, it is impossible for Mo Zhai to probe him without his knowledge!
"Hehe, Yan Xiao, now that you're back, the Alchemist Grand Meeting should begin. After all, so many of us have waited a month for you!"
After exchanging a few words of laughter, Gu Li looked up at the sky. It was noon, and indeed it was time for the conference to begin.
As soon as Gu Li uttered these words, the Half-Emperor level experts behind him immediately became noisy. They had waited for a month just to see Xiao Yan return to participate in the Alchemist Grand Meeting. Now that the time had come and everyone was in place, the Alchemist Grand Meeting should have begun.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan smiled, clasped his hands in a fist salute to the various Half-Emperor in the void, and then spoke with a smile:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I know that because of me, you have all been waiting for another month. I know that some of you must be getting impatient, and I personally apologize to you all!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan bowed and clasped his hands in greeting. This gesture immediately won the approval of many Half-Emperor in the audience. Regardless of whether Xiao Yan's words were sincere or not, he had expressed his opinion in front of so many people. If they were not satisfied, it would be rather boring.
With his hands down, Xiao Yan looked at the smiling Half-Emperor and a smile slowly crept onto his lips.
Speak human language to human beings and ghost language to ghosts. Although these people haven't reached the point where Xiao Yan feels threatened, leaving a good impression is never a bad thing.
Furthermore, these people were aware of his strength. Since he could cross three stars without fear of his opponents, he naturally didn't need to be subservient to them. His current attitude was enough to make them put aside all the resentment they had towards Xiao Yan. This was not a bad thing for anyone.
Gu Li watched Xiao Yan's move with a broad smile. Xiao Yan's actions not only earned him a good reputation, but also attracted a large number of alchemists to their Alchemist Grand Meeting.
However, just as everyone was preparing to return to watch the start of the Alchemist Grand Meeting, Xiao Yan, who was the focus of attention in the arena, gently waved his hand, and a dazzling ball of Heavenly Flames instantly emerged from his palm, causing the temperature of this area to rise sharply at that moment.
Seeing this, the crowd that was about to leave stopped again, their eyes all turning to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan, with a smile on his lips, looked at Qin Zhong beside him and then said with a laugh:
"Hehe, Brother Qin, which hand did this guy use when he hurt you?"
Upon hearing this seemingly innocuous statement, Qin Zhong was momentarily stunned. After a brief pause, he quickly realized that Xiao Yan had returned to square one.
Those in the void also witnessed this scene. Upon hearing Xiao Yan 'Xiao Yan words, their impression of him improved even further. To be so attentive to his friends was truly remarkable!
Qin Zhong frowned and pondered for a long time. His eyes shifted slightly, and he saw a bright red handprint on his chest. The order of the five fingers indicated that it was his right hand.
Xiao Yan smiled upon seeing this, and before Qin Zhong could say anything more, his gaze suddenly shifted downwards. In an instant, his smiling face was replaced by an icy expression as cold as the Nine Nether Yellow Springs.
A flash of fire appeared in Xiao Yan's eyes, and he suddenly clenched his fist, which was controlling the Heavenly Flames. The Heavenly Flames in his palm exploded and then turned into a large area of fire, which quickly enveloped Xiao Yan's entire body.
At the same time, in the void above, Mo Zhai's expression suddenly changed drastically. His mind raced, and he quickly withdrew the released Spiritual Strength back into his body.
Unfortunately, although he was quick, a portion of his Spiritual Strength was still injured by Xiao Yan's sudden attack, and it will probably be difficult for him to recover in the near future.
"Damn it! You're ruthless!"
After removing the Spiritual Strength attached to his body, Xiao Yan smiled, his gaze sweeping across the void without leaving a trace. His eyes met Mo Zhai's in the void, and his slightly mocking gaze made the latter even angrier.
Xiao Yan, however, paid no heed. With a wave of his right hand, the Heavenly Flames in his palm erupted, instantly incinerating the unconscious old man's right arm into nothingness. At the joint, however, lay a patch of charred flesh...
With a thought, Xiao Yan withdrew his Heavenly Flames Heavenly Flames. At the same time, Xiao Yan glanced once more at the old man lying motionless on the ground.
Over the years, Xiao Yan had long since learned that he would show no mercy to any enemy, nor would he give them a chance. Xiao Yan never left anyone alive after a fight, and this person was no exception...
