Outside the ruins of the Heaven-Penetrating Pavilion, a large crowd had gathered. Almost everyone in Mulberry Wood Town was present, staring blankly at the scene before them.
Unexpectedly, Heaven-Penetrating Pavilion, which is guarded by Eight-Star Half-Emperor, has been destroyed like this today. The person who did this must be at least Eight-Star Half-Emperor!
Of course, this was just what everyone was thinking. But when their eyes fell on the young man in black robes in the arena, their expressions faltered instantly, and they were filled with doubt. Could this young man in black robes really destroy such a vast Heaven-Penetrating Pavilion?
However, when several Half-Emperor level experts in the crowd detected the aura within Xiao Yan's body, Lin Pengsheng's expression changed again.
The black-robed youth before them was actually only a Four-Star Half-Emperor!
Upon learning of Xiao Yan's strength, the pedestrians on both sides of the street erupted in a frenzy. No one could imagine that a mere Four-Star Half-Emperor could command such respect from two Eight-Star Half-Emperor. Just who was this black-robed youth before them, capable of such terror?
As more and more people gathered around, the two gray-robed elders on the ruins turned ashen-faced, their hearts filled with a burning desire to crush Xiao Yan to death.
Who would have thought that these two dignified Eight-Star Half-Emperor would be coerced by a Four-Star Half-Emperor today? If this got out, wouldn't it become a huge joke?
Even so, the two gray-robed elders were still extremely helpless. After all, their master's opponent was in their hands. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so wary of the black-robed youth in front of them.
At this moment, the two had made up their minds that as soon as Xiao Yan put down the young man in his hand, they would immediately strike and kill Xiao Yan with lightning speed!
Since this young man in black robes has made them lose face so much, then no matter what, we must make him pay a bloody price today!
As their gazes swept around, the two gray-robed elders' expressions grew increasingly grim. They exchanged a glance, and after a long while, they gritted their teeth and, amidst the bewildered gazes of the onlookers, slowly prostrated themselves on the ruins, crouching with their hands behind their heads. Then, to everyone's stunned disbelief, they rolled up like a ball.
After struggling to roll down this stretch of road, the two old men got up from the ground, covered in mud and with their hair and beards in disarray, making them look like two beggars, utterly disheveled.
As for the crowd outside the venue, they remained completely stunned.
The two old men rose, wiping the dust from their faces, Elder Zhang remained ashen. Ignoring the gazes directed at them, their chilling stares fixed on Xiao Yan Xiao Yan. They took a deep breath before speaking to him in a low voice:
"Now, you should release them, right?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, then smiled at the two of them and said:
"You two are truly loyal men. For your master, you are even willing to abandon your dignity. I admire you for that."
"Stop talking nonsense and release them!"
As soon as Xiao Yan Xiao Yan speaking, one of the two gray-robed elders couldn't help but shout at him sternly.
"Hehe, you two can rest assured, I keep my word and will release them immediately."
Xiao Yan smiled faintly, a smile playing on his lips. His calm, deep eyes were fixed on the two gray-robed elders, and the hand that controlled the Heaven-Spanning Hand was raised again under the tense gazes of the two elders.
Immediately, Xiao Yan waved his hand lightly, and with a thought, the Heaven-Spanning Hand formed by his Spiritual Strength dissipated with a bang. The young man covered in blood was also sent flying uncontrollably toward the two old men.
Upon seeing the young man flying towards them, the expressions on the two old men's faces changed instantly. They moved at the same time and leaped forward to catch the young man.
As the young man's body was caught by an old man in gray robes, another old man did not stop for a moment. His Dou Qi surged out suddenly, and with a wave of his hands, terrifying Dou Qi rapidly condensed in his palms. His forward-moving figure suddenly shuddered, and he grabbed fiercely at Xiao Yan.
"You brat, prepare to die!"
"Hmph, I knew you'd try something. Did you really think I'd give you the chance to hurt me?"
Upon seeing the gray-robed elder leaping towards him, Xiao Yan chuckled coldly. With a swift movement, he soared into the void and flew rapidly towards the depths of the Xilin Mountain Range with lightning speed.
Upon seeing Xiao Yan's sudden burst of terrifying speed, the gray-robed elder was momentarily stunned. By the time he came to his senses, Xiao Yan had already disappeared from sight, and it was too late to chase after him.
Only now did the surrounding crowd notice Xiao Yan's terrifying speed. It was unbelievable that even Eight-Star Half-Emperor couldn't catch him. Just who was this mysterious man in black robes?
"Hmph! You brat, just you wait! Next time we meet, I'll tear you to pieces and grind your bones to dust!"
After uttering a harsh curse, the gray-robed elder swept his sleeve and turned to face the crowd of onlookers. His old face contorted with rage, and he roared again:
"... What are you looking at? Get out of my way! If you don't disappear before my eyes within ten breaths, I'll annihilate you all!"
As soon as Lao Tzu finished speaking, the surrounding crowd was shocked and immediately sprang into action, fleeing into the distance as if their lives depended on it.
Xiao Yan dared to go against them, but these people didn't have the guts. After all, he was Eight-Star Half-Emperor, and once they started fighting, none of them would be his match.
Seeing the surrounding crowd quickly disperse, the gray-robed old man, after casually killing several people, finally suppressed his anger and turned back to the young man's side.
Meanwhile, halfway down a majestic mountain, Xiao Yan slowly descended, looking back at Mulberry Wood Town, which was now shrouded in mist, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
Although the old man was Eight-Star Half-Emperor, with Xiao Yan's current speed, even Nine-Star Half-Emperor would have a hard time catching up if he were to unleash his full power. As for him, he was being far too naive.
Turning his gaze away, Xiao Yan looked up at the towering mountain peak before him, feeling utterly awestruck.
Although the grandeur of the mountain range can be seen from a distance, only by getting close can one truly feel its majesty and imposing presence.
"Call..."
Looking at the mountain peaks before him, Xiao Yan couldn't help but let out a long breath. In the near future, this would be another training ground for him. He wondered what kind of things he would encounter here.
A thought flashed through Xiao Yan's mind, and a burning light suddenly surged in his eyes. No matter what he might encounter, he should go in first. He also wanted to experience the wildest power of the Xilin Mountain Range.
With a swift movement, Xiao Yan stepped into the void and leaped towards the summit of the mountain.
