"Bang!"
Tian Ying was startled when Xiao Yan was torn to pieces. He was extremely surprised. Then, in the next instant, he saw Xiao Yan's body turn into a speck of light and gradually disappear into the void. Only then did Tian Ying realize that the Xiao Yan in front of him was not his true body, but an avatar.
"This... this rascal, he actually tricked us all! He's not here, so he's in trouble now!"
Realizing that Xiao Yan might be approaching the depths of the Xilin Mountain Range, Tian Ying's eyes suddenly widened in alarm. He then abruptly raised his head and let out a deafening roar. At the same time, Yan Shi and Xiong Gang also turned their heads sharply to look at Tian Ying.
"Li! We've all been tricked! Go find him quickly! He might have already infiltrated deep into the Xilin Mountain Range. We must find him before he gets there!"
The Tian Ying roared and instantly returned to its original form. With a powerful flap of its wings, a hurricane howled across the heavens and earth.
As the roar of the Tian Ying echoed, countless low-level magical beasts trembled and prostrated themselves in the forest below. Faced with the wrath of the Tian Ying, one of the three great kings here, they felt as if they were in a freezing cold cave.
Hearing Tian Ying's angry roar, Yan Shi and Xiong Gang couldn't help but frown slightly. They exchanged glances, their faces filled with suspicion. After a few breaths, Yan Shi looked towards the distant horizon and asked loudly:
"What happened? Didn't you go after that kid? What went wrong?"
"I've been tricked! The one I was chasing was an imposter. His real body has definitely left. If I'm not mistaken, he must be in these mountains right now. From this moment on, everyone who hears my command, search for that human! Find him! We absolutely cannot let him enter the heart of Xilin!"
The enormous body of the Tian Ying hung high in the sky, and the voice it emitted shook the heavens and earth. The magical beasts in the mountains below trembled in fear. After a long while, the Tian Ying flapped its wings again and returned to where Yan Shi and the other person were.
As the Tian Ying departed, numerous magical beasts quickly began to roam freely in the mountains below, daring not to disobey Tian Ying orders.
Seeing the gloomy-faced Tian Ying, Yan Shi couldn't help but frown slightly, his eyes darting around before he asked:
"What exactly happened? Did that kid really get away? If so, then you and I are in big trouble."
"Well..."
Upon hearing this, Tian Ying sighed deeply, looking frustrated. Little did he know that the one he had chased after was merely an avatar. What frustrated him even more was that the avatar's strength was only one Tian Ying weaker than his true form. The avatar's self-destruction had caused Tian Ying considerable damage, which was why he was so enraged.
"What can I do? That kid is no ordinary person. Who knows what his true purpose is in entering the heart of the Xilin Mountain Range? If he has malicious intentions, this time, not only you and I, but the entire Xilin Mountain Range may be destroyed!"
Seeing this, Yan Shi shrugged helplessly. He couldn't do things like looking for people. Then, he remembered the Northern King who had been fighting him. But when he turned around to look for him, he found that the Northern King had already escaped while they were distracted.
"Damn it! I was so careless, I completely forgot about that guy!"
Thinking of the Northern King, Yan Shi felt extremely heavy-hearted. In the battle against the latter, the Northern King's power was in no way inferior to his own. Moreover, even he could not break through the latter's terrifying puppet body. This made Yan Shi, a magical beast, feel extremely horrified.
Yan Shi believed that, since his debut, the only person he truly admired, more than his physical cultivation, was Xiong Gang, who was standing beside him. Although both were magical beasts, Xiong Gang's defensive capabilities far surpassed Yan Shi's.
But to Yan Shi's utter surprise, today, a puppet possessed a physical defense even more terrifying than Xiong Gang's. Coupled with his terrifying strength and strange lightning power, Yan Shi had no doubt that, in terms of pure strength, even Xiong Gang would not have gained the upper hand against him.
He shrugged helplessly. Since the Northern King had already left, there was no point in going to find him now. Since Xiao Yan had granted him permission to leave, he must have been absolutely certain of his success. Going to find him now was impossible.
On the other side, Xiao Yan was swiftly traversing the mountains and forests. To avoid further trouble, he tried his best to conceal his aura and flew towards the depths of the Xilin Mountain Range at top speed.
The few magical beasts he encountered along the way were all instantly killed by Xiao Yan. As the power within Xiao Yan Xiao Yan dissipated, his aura also weakened. However, even at this point, Xiao Yan was still quite a distance away from the end of the territory of these three giants.
This made Xiao Yan even more cautious. If he couldn't give it his all at this moment, he would probably face the relentless pursuit of countless demonic beasts. If those three guys found him again, unless Gu You appeared, Xiao Yan would be forced to leave the Xilin Mountain Range.
For the next period of time, in order to avoid being discovered by Tian Ying and the other two, Xiao Yan even had to avoid the passing magical beasts. Unfortunately, this was the only way to get rid of some unnecessary trouble for Xiao Yan. Otherwise, if this continued to drag on, it would not be a good thing for Xiao Yan.
After all, even Xiao Yan in his prime was no match for those three, let alone now. If he were to encounter those three again, Xiao Yan would probably find it difficult to escape.
"Whoosh--"
With a sharp whooshing sound, Xiao Yan could clearly feel someone rapidly approaching from behind him. However, a smile finally appeared on Xiao Yan's lips.
This newcomer was none other than the Northern King.
Given Xiao Yan's current state, he can only truly feel at ease when the Northern King is by his side.
After taking the future Northern King into his Storage Ring, Xiao Yan also consumed two more Emperor Grade Pill. Feeling his Dou Qi gradually recovering, Xiao Yan's complexion improved.
As his Dou Qi recovered, Xiao Yan's speed increased dramatically. Finally, when the pills in his body were used up again, a snow-capped peak, standing like a city wall deep in the Xilin Mountain Range, appeared in Xiao Yan 'Xiao Yan sight.
