" Dou Di!"
Slowly rising from the city gate, Xiao Yan surveyed the world around him with a solemn expression, his heart filled with horror.
He didn't know who the newcomer was, but one thing he was clear about was that the newcomer had come for him from the old man's words. As for the other party's identity, Xiao Yan had never provoked anyone at the Dou Di level before, so he had no idea who this person was.
"May I ask who you are, senior? I Yan Xiao, a newcomer to this place. If I have offended you, I hope you will forgive me. As for this man, if you wish to protect him, I may spare him for your sake."
Xiao Yan scanned his surroundings warily, speaking in a respectful tone. At the same time, all the remaining Spiritual Strength in his brow poured out, rapidly sweeping out in all directions.
Before knowing the other party's identity, all of Xiao Yan's investigative methods were now fully revealed.
After all, Xiao Yan was facing a genuine Dou Di expert, who was many times stronger than these " Pseudo-Emperor ".
Once the fight begins, all the methods of Half-Emperor will be rendered useless in the face of Dou Di powerhouse. No matter how powerful Xiao Yan is in normal times and can fight against Nine-Star Half-Emperor, he will have no chance to resist when facing a true Dou Di.
After Xiao Yan's words were spoken, everyone in the city below couldn't help but feel suspicious.
The Xiao Yan before them possessed the power of two Nine-Star Half-Emperor, making him a terrifying existence in Lengcui City, capable of roaming freely. So, who was this person who could make Xiao Yan address him as "Senior"?
It should be understood that, with the protection of two Nine-Star Half-Emperor, in the current Lengcui City, unless Dou Di arrives, there is absolutely no one who can make Xiao Yan willingly bow down.
Upon realizing this, the people in the city immediately came to their senses. If that was the case, then judging from Xiao Yan's appearance at this moment, wouldn't the old man who had just spoken be a super strong expert whose strength had reached the Dou Di level?
"Whoosh--"
Once everyone understood this, the entire Lengcui City erupted in excitement, with many people whispering amongst themselves.
Everyone became increasingly curious about Xiao Yan, who was standing atop the city gate.
Possessing terrifying strength beyond his own level, and with two Nine-Star Half-Emperor protecting him, yet even having his path blocked by Nine-Star Half-Emperor, and now attracting the attention of Dou Di powerhouse, just who is this black-robed youth before us?
On the other side, while Xiao Yan and the people in the city were filled with shock, in the Cloud-Hidden Pavilion, Zhang Yi's originally calm face also showed a deep solemnity the moment that old voice was heard.
Luo Jin, standing beside him, also frowned, feeling the invisible pressure emanating from the old man. He could tell that the old man's strength was at least at the Dou Di level, and judging from his words just now, it was clear that he was targeting Xiao Yan.
Thinking of this, Luo Jin couldn't help but feel a headache for Xiao Yan, and at the same time, he was also quite astonished.
It was one thing to provoke Half-Emperor in the Southern Region, but with the protection of the Northern King and Xiao Jin, plus Xiao Yan's own considerable strength, he was able to have a relatively smooth journey below the Dou Di.
But who would have thought that Xiao Yan would be more restrained after arriving in the Western Region, and as long as he was careful, he wouldn't run into the people from the Four Great Sects? But just at this time, no sooner had Xiao Yan arrived in the Western Region than someone came knocking on his door. Luo Jin couldn't help but curse Xiao Yan countless times in his heart.
It was only because Luo Jin had given Xiao Yan some advice before he left Cloud-Hidden Pavilion that he was able to do this, but judging from the current situation, it was clear that his words had been wasted.
Of course, this cannot be entirely blamed on Xiao Yan, after all, he was also filled with curiosity about this Dou Di powerhouse who had appeared at this moment.
He had never met the latter before, so where did this Dou Di expert come from? Moreover, judging from his words, he seemed to know quite a bit about what happened to him in the Ancient Wilderness City.
As Xiao Yan finished speaking, there was still no one in sight in the surrounding world. However, the atmosphere over Lengcui City became increasingly oppressive.
The once sunny and cloudless Lengcui City clouds, causing the crowd below to stir in unease.
"Who are you, sir? If you have something to discuss, please come forward. If not, then I shall take my leave."
Xiao Yan stared palely at the sky above. Although the sky was clear, what he saw was a dark, heavy cloud. The oppressive atmosphere was like a Mount Tai pressing down on him, and the terrifying pressure made it hard for him to breathe.
With a thought, the Northern King and Xiao Jin returned to Xiao Yan's sides. The Northern King's iron tower-like body remained unmoved, and an invisible, domineering pressure spread out, resisting the opposing pressure of the Dou Di.
"Roar!!!"
At the same time, Xiao Jin also transformed, its enormous dragon body soaring into the air. A deafening dragon roar echoed through the heavens, golden light radiated everywhere, and thunder roared. An equally powerful pressure spread out from Xiao Jin's body. Xiao Yan felt his body relax slightly, and his slightly bent waist under that pressure straightened up.
"Huh?"
Seeing that Xiao Jin was able to slightly withstand the pressure of his Dou Di level with his strength as Nine-Star Half-Emperor, a slightly surprised soft exclamation couldn't help but be heard from somewhere in the void.
"Hmph, so you're Yan Xiao? The Yan Xiao who's known to everyone in the Ancient Wilderness City of the Southern Region?"
As another faint, aged laugh rang out, Xiao Yan's already solemn expression instantly became even more grave.
Judging from this voice, it is clearly different from the one that belonged to the previous voice; this is another Dou Di powerhouse!
Upon realizing this, Xiao Yan felt as if struck by lightning, and was filled with immense horror. He racked his brains but couldn't figure out when or where he had offended Dou Di- level expert.
Since arriving on the Origin Martial Continent, the strongest enemy Xiao Yan has ever encountered is only Nine-Star Half-Emperor. So where did these two Dou Di powerhouses before him come from?
They had no past grudges or present enmity, so it was impossible for them to be waiting for him in Lengcui City for no reason. There must be some other reason behind it.
However, Xiao Yan was completely unaware of this so-called reason at this moment...
Hearing the question, Xiao Yan would have ignored an ordinary Half-Emperor, but the situation was different. The person in front of him was a true Dou Di expert, a terrifying being who could be killed with a wave of his hand. He absolutely could not show even the slightest dissatisfaction in front of such a powerful figure.
After a long while, Xiao Yan, still cautiously scanning his surroundings, spoke in as calm a tone as possible, his throat bobbing.
"Indeed, I am Yan Xiao. Since you know me so well, may I ask who you are?"
"Hehe..."
Xiao Yan's answer was met with a faint, cold laugh from the void.
You said you're Yan Xiao?
A faint, sarcastic remark was made, and Xiao Yan Xiao Yan slightly upon hearing it. He sensed an unease from the words.
The two people before him, who had not yet shown themselves, seemed to know far more about him than Xiao Yan had imagined.
" Yan Xiao... in reverse... is... Xiao Yan!"
A calm, cold laugh rang out, and Xiao Yan's face immediately went from smug to shocked. Who were these two people? How could they possibly know his real name!
Xiao Yan believed that since arriving on the Origin Martial Continent, the only people who knew his true name, besides Yuan Qing of the Cloud Immortal Sect, were the Liu Clan. However, the Liu Clan was now unharmed, and it was impossible for Dou Di expert from the Western Region to appear in the Southern Region. Given this, how did the person before him know his true identity?
It's them!
Suddenly, Xiao Yan, who was deep in thought, seemed to remember something. If all else were disregarded, then the only one left who could know his true identity was the one who had been relentlessly pursuing him from the very beginning...
" Ghost Fiend Gate!"
The next moment, Xiao Yan suddenly looked up, his gaze, which was both solemn and sharp, fixed on the void above his head. The Dou Qi that had just recovered in his body was once again drawn up.
"Puff"
With a "poof," a raging Heavenly Flames erupted from Xiao Yan's body, condensing into a suit of Xiao Yan Heavenly Flames Armor that protected him.
With a wave of his hand, the pitch-black Heavy Xuan Ruler instantly appeared in Xiao Yan's palm. The Heavenly Flames in his hand quickly spread over it, transforming it into a magnificent giant ruler of Heavenly Flames.
At the same time, the Northern King and Xiao Jin, who were on either side of Xiao Yan Xiao Yan, also took to the air and stood shoulder to shoulder with him, ready to face the upcoming battle.
"You... are people from the Ghost Fiend Gate?"
Finally, Xiao Yan uttered a cold, slightly puzzled shout, each word distinct. In a certain place in the void, several figures' expressions changed slightly, and they couldn't help but feel surprised.
Even they avoided that force like the plague, yet Xiao Yan had no idea he would have a direct connection with it. No wonder that group of people asked them to help for the sake of a Half-Emperor.
"No, they are not from the Ghost Fiend Gate. They are the sect leaders of the Four Great Sects!"
However, not long after Xiao Yan finished speaking, a solemn shout suddenly rang out from the heavens and earth.
Xiao Yan looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zhang Yi, the Elder Zhang of the Cloud-Hidden Pavilion.
Upon seeing Zhang Yi, Xiao Yan's eyes lit up. As an elder of the Cloud-Hidden Pavilion, Zhang Yi's strength had reached the level of Dou Di. If he were to step forward, even if the other party was also a Dou Di expert, they would still not dare to act rashly.
However, when Xiao Yan heard Zhang Yi Yi's words, his expression changed slightly.
The next moment, just as Xiao Yan was about to speak, he suddenly turned his gaze and looked up at the vast sky.
In his line of sight, several figures slowly emerged from the void.
Xiao Yan's gaze swept over them one by one, silently counting them in his mind, his mood growing heavy...
"One, two, three... four..."
Four figures, four Dou Di experts!
At the same time, they also represent the leaders of the four top powers and super sects in the Western Region.
