People of all kinds walked along the bustling streets, and the flow of people continued to pour into Lengcui City, making the Lengcui City even more lively as it approached noon.

After Xiao Yan left Cloud-Hidden Pavilion, he headed west towards the western part of the city, which was the direction of the Western Wilderness Region.

Before arriving at the Cloud-Hidden Pavilion, Luo Jin gave Xiao Yan a map of the Western Lin Region. The map detailed the major cities and mountain ranges of the Western Lin Region, especially the locations of the Four Great Sects, and clearly marked their spheres of influence.

It seems that this was something Luo Jin did intentionally, hoping that Xiao Yan would not fall into the trap of the Four Great Sects, as a precaution for Xiao Yan.

Furthermore, Xiao Yan also learned from the map that if he wanted to go to the Western Wilderness Region, he currently only had two routes to choose from.

The map shows that the only way to reach the Western Wilderness Region from the outer edge of the Western Lin Region is blocked by human cities and a mountain range inhabited by magical beasts. This is also the main division of power in the Western Lin Region.

Xiao Yan dared not easily approach those human cities at this moment. If he were to show his face, the Four Great Sects would probably hunt him down relentlessly.

Even if it weren't for the Heavenly Severing Steps, they would never have let Xiao Yan go easily.

In addition, most of the cities inhabited by humans are marked with the labels of the Four Great Sects, and there are even several places near the settlements of magical beasts, making it virtually impossible to pass between them.

Through Luo Jin, Xiao Yan also learned that the mountain range where the magical beasts lived Xilin Mountain Range. Although there were no people from the Four Great Sects there, the danger in the Xilin Mountain Range was no less than that in the outside world.

According to Luo Jin, there are many super magical beasts at the Dou Di level in the Xilin Mountain Range. These magical beasts have already transformed into human form. Although they do not like killing on a normal day, they will not show any mercy if you trespass into their territory!

As for the Half-Emperor level magical beasts, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan no longer cares about them. He is confident that with the power he now possesses, he is fearless against anyone below the Dou Di!

Therefore, Xiao Yan made a decisive choice and went directly to the Xilin Mountain Range.

In Xiao Yan's view, compared to the Four Great Sects, he was able to thrive in the Xilin Mountain Range.

Having chosen his target, Xiao Yan didn't hesitate any longer. With a swift movement, he passed through the crowd and flew rapidly towards the west of Lengcui City.

But as he flew, Xiao Yan couldn't help but frown slightly. Just now, he felt several faint auras sweep over him. Although the auras were extremely faint, with the terrifying Spiritual Strength of Second-Tier Alchemist, Xiao Yan could still sense the traces of ruthlessness in them.

"Oh? They're still in Lengcui City, and they're already getting restless."

Upon noticing this, Xiao Yan curled his lips into a cold smile and quickly glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye. Sure enough, at the end of Xiao Yan's line of sight, there were several blurry black dots. Those black dots were the people who had just probed Xiao Yan's aura.

Just a few days ago, when Xiao Yan had just woken up, Luo Jin had already told him about the Four Great Sects chasing after him everywhere. He even told Xiao Yan about the bounties and wanted posters issued by the Four Great Sects without missing a single detail.

Upon hearing this news, Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, but then his expression quickly turned gloomy.

Since the Four Great Sects wanted to kill him so badly, Xiao Yan naturally couldn't just sit and wait to die.

Moreover, the entire Western Region has issued a warrant for Xiao Yan's arrest, and the Four Great Sects have gone to such lengths to force him to show himself. If Xiao Yan Xiao Yan n't appear, people will think he's a coward.

Given Xiao Yan's character, how could he possibly allow himself to be falsely accused like this?

"Heh, what a cunning scheme you Four Great Sects! But if you want to capture me, you'd better see what you're capable of first!"

With a cold laugh, Xiao Yan suddenly increased his speed as he flew forward. In the distance behind him, several figures couldn't help but frown slightly, exchange glances, grit their teeth, and quickly chase after him.

In a short time, Xiao Yan had gradually moved away from the area of Lengcui City, while the figures were still in hot pursuit. However, when they reached the sky above a deserted mountain range, they couldn't help but frown slightly.

Because Xiao Yan, who was flying rapidly ahead of them just a moment ago, suddenly vanished into thin air like a wisp of mist.

The people in the sky frowned deeply. They couldn't understand what was going on. How could Xiao Yan have disappeared so mysteriously?

What surprised them most was that as Xiao Yan turned into a cloud of mist and disappeared, even his aura vanished without a trace.

"This... damn it, where did that kid go?"

"Could it be that he discovered us and, using the speed of the Heavenly Severing Steps, has already escaped from here?"

"It's not impossible. Although he's strong, we have six of us—six Eight-Star Half-Emperor. Even with his puppet and that thunder dragon's help, he still can't be our match!"

Among the six, an old man in a black robe stood with his hands behind his back, listening to the words of the other old men beside him, nodding slightly, and carefully analyzing Xiao Yan's inner thoughts.

However, just after the old man uttered his words, a calm, cold laugh suddenly echoed from somewhere in the world.

"Oh? Is that so? I'd really like to see how many rounds you six Eight-Star Half-Emperor can last combined?"

As soon as he finished speaking, amidst the dramatic change in the expressions of the six elders in the sky, Xiao Yan's figure slowly appeared in the void ten feet behind them.

The next moment, as the six Eight-Star Half-Emperor turned around, they clearly saw Xiao Yan. At the same time, the expressions on their faces changed again, and they couldn't help but scream in unison:

" Xiao Yan!"

"That is indeed me!"

Xiao Yan smiled faintly and replied with a light laugh.

"Hmph! Xiao Yan, you're far too arrogant. Although you managed to block an attack from Dou Di expert half a year ago, that was only because they held back. But things are different now. All six of us are Eight-Star Half-Emperor. Even if you have your puppets and pets protecting you, we still can't protect you!"

Upon seeing Xiao Yan, the black-robed elder who had spoken earlier was initially startled. After a moment of hesitation, his face hardened again, and he spoke to Xiao Yan in a low, menacing voice.

"Heh, whether it's arrogance or not, let's try it out before commenting. Hmm, six people, plus you guys, the number of Eight-Star Half-Emperor who have died by my hand should be on my fingers."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled faintly. Then, in the next moment, his fair hand suddenly swept across the void, his Dou Qi surging wildly. As Xiao Yan 'Xiao Yan thoughts fell, the pitch-black Heavy Xuan Ruler appeared inch by inch in his hand. With the enhancement of the Heavenly Flames, the Heavy Xuan Ruler looked quite imposing at this moment.
