The moment this young man first saw Xiao Yan, he noticed the cold smile in the latter's eyes when he looked at the lewd-looking youth, and it was precisely because of this that he became curious about Xiao Yan.
When he heard the news of the 50,000 Spirit Coin and Xiao Yan's serious injury, he was immediately stunned. Then, recalling the cold smile on Xiao Yan's lips as he stood before him in his black robe, he immediately had an idea.
Although the information from the lewd man might not be true, what if Xiao Yan really is in the Xilin Mountain Range, and his map just happens to lead Xiao Yan there by chance, and the black-robed youth in front of him happens to be looking for Xiao Yan? If all these fragmented pieces of information are pieced together, then the map would be real!
Regardless, he was certain that the black-robed youth in front of him had a very close relationship with the guy named Xiao Yan. As long as he kept him there, he would definitely be able to find Xiao Yan!
As for now, it can only become a spear in his hand.
"Heh, you must be joking, right? You don't actually believe this map is real just because of what that guy outside said, do you?"
After a few breaths, Xiao Yan, having regained his senses, couldn't help but chuckle at the young man opposite him, too lazy to even touch the map in front of him anymore.
Xiao Yan's earlier offer to buy it was merely a prank on that sleazy young man, since he used his name to swindle money everywhere. However, judging from the current situation, it seems that this young man actually believed the guy's lies and thought the map was genuine.
"My friend, you're exaggerating a bit. Xiao Yan is now the number one figure in the entire Western Region. Who wouldn't want to find him? Although I'm skeptical about this information, there's a saying: 'It's better to believe it than not to believe it.' I'd like to see if this Xiao Yan is really hiding somewhere in the Xilin Mountain Range."
Upon hearing this, the man in the brocade robe smiled faintly and gently waved his hand in the air in front of him. The map that had been gathered in front of Xiao Yan was now unfolded towards the man, with his back to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan couldn't see the contents of the map, and with the young man deliberately blocking his way, even Xiao Yan Spiritual Strength's probe was shut out.
Of course, Xiao Yan didn't care about the map in front of him. Whether he looked at it or not, it was ultimately just a fake and couldn't serve any purpose.
"In that case, you may simply use this map to find Xiao Yan. Why insist that I find him for you? With the map in hand, instead of searching for a stranger like me, why not have your two companions handle the matter? I believe that with them, this matter should be handled much more easily."
"But today, I want you to lead the way for me!"
With a low shout, the young man in front of Xiao Yan suddenly made a move, grabbing Xiao Yan's shoulder.
The young man's palm was enveloped in a rapidly rising green Dou Qi, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Xiao Yan, grabbing the latter's shoulder heavily.
"Since I am unwilling, why force me? We are strangers, yet you are making such a fuss; that's rather domineering!"
Despite the danger of the approaching power, Xiao Yan remained completely fearless. He let out a cold snort, fell backward, and lightly touched the ground with his toes. His entire body instantly transformed into a leaf, rapidly retreating towards the outside of the Heaven-Penetrating Pavilion.
Upon seeing that Xiao Yan was also a Half-Emperor expert, and that his strength was in no way weaker than his own, the man was immediately surprised. But what followed was even greater certainty: the black-robed youth in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person. With him, perhaps they could really find Xiao Yan!
"Hmph! Want to leave? Not so easy! This is my territory, not a place you can come and go as you please! Gray and White Elders, stop him!"
As soon as the young man shouted, the two gray-robed elders moved in unison. In an instant, a loud bang was heard, and the gate of the Heaven-Penetrating Pavilion was tightly closed. Behind Xiao Yan, the two gray-robed elders also appeared out of thin air, and waved their hands in unison, slapping Xiao Yan's juniors hard.
"Young friend, our young master sincerely invites you; why refuse such a toast?"
As they attacked, one of the gray-robed elders spoke to Xiao Yan in a deep voice, to which Xiao Yan responded with another cold laugh, his tone mocking:
"What, is this how you invite people?"
"Stop wasting your breath on him. Since he doesn't want to stay, just force him to stay here. Eventually, he'll calm down and obey our orders!"
No sooner had Xiao Yan finished speaking than another gray-robed elder suddenly spoke up, his tone undoubtedly colder than the first.
"Ha, no wonder there are such arrogant juniors. With your kinds of personalities, you probably won't be able to teach anything good."
Xiao Yan sneered again. Just as the attacks from the front and back were about to come, Xiao Yan suddenly twisted his body and perfectly dodged the attacks from the young man and the two gray-robed old men behind him at an extremely strange angle.
Standing in the center of the Heaven-Penetrating Pavilion's main hall, Xiao Yan's gaze remained indifferent as he looked at the three people before him, his eyes filled with a hint of icy coldness.
"Hmph, brat, I advise you to stay put and wait until our young master has determined the outcome of this matter before you can leave. Otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
"Heh, are you sure of the result? Are you sure of what result? Is Xiao Yan in this mountain range or not? Hmph, that's laughable. This mountain range stretches for tens of thousands of miles. Even Dou Di expert would find it quite difficult to cross. Do you really think you can find someone in this mountain range?"
Upon hearing the gray-robed elder's words, Xiao Yan scoffed, his expression growing even colder.
"It seems you're unwilling to cooperate..."
Xiao Yan smiled coldly and did not reply.
"Hmph! Kid, our young master has captured everyone he wanted to capture so far. Even if you're Half-Emperor, you can forget about it!"
"Oh? Is that so? In that case, let me be the first one!"
"You're asking for it!"
As soon as the shout fell, the two gray-robed elders charged towards Xiao Yan, unleashing their Dou Qi. The terrifying energy swept through the entire Heaven-Penetrating Pavilion, causing the expressions on the faces of the onlookers to change constantly.
Eight-Star Half-Emperor is truly terrifying. To face a mere Four-Star Half-Emperor with such strength is an absolute crushing defeat!
At this moment, everyone in the arena couldn't help but cast pitying glances at Xiao Yan. Of all people to provoke, he had to mess with this guy. This time, he's probably doomed!
Instantly, low sighs rose and fell throughout the arena, and everyone felt a pang of pity for Xiao Yan's recklessness. To lose one's life for a few words was utterly unwise!
But the next moment, just when everyone thought Xiao Yan would die under the combined attack of the two gray-robed elders, Xiao Yan sneered. As the attacks of the two Eight-Star Half-Emperor arrived, he quickly took a half step back, his Spiritual Strength surged rapidly, his hand seals changed, and then he opened his mouth wide. Instantly, a roar like thunder resounded throughout the Heaven-Penetrating Pavilion.
" The Yellow Springs Heavenly Wrath! Moo! Moo! Moo..."
The Yellow Springs Heavenly Wrath, shaking the very soul, was unleashed with the Spiritual Strength of Xiao Yan at his current Realm of Unity, making its power even more terrifying. With a single shout, the souls of the two Eight-Star Half-Emperor were immediately severely injured, causing their bodies to pause for a moment during their forward charge.
Losing focus during battle is a major taboo for cultivators. In battles of this level, a single moment can determine the outcome of the entire war.
Taking advantage of the two men's momentary distraction, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan his foot hard on the ground, and the immense force spread out from under his foot, bringing him to the position between the two old men.
With a punch and a kick, each unleashed a powerful blow, landing heavily on the faces of the two gray-robed elders. Instantly, the faces of the two elders contorted in shock, and the expressions of the others in the arena also twisted, their eyes filled with disbelief.
