At the mountain peak, Xiao Yan looked at the four people in front of him, a wry smile appearing on his face. He shook his head with a Xiao Yan laugh, and with a thought, the nine avatars around him twisted and disappeared into the void in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that most of the " Xiao Yan " in front of them had disappeared, Murong Qianqian and the others withdrew their gazes in shock. The four of them looked at each other, and a look of horror could still be seen in their eyes.
At the same time, Xiao Yan cupped his hands in a fist salute to Tian Ying three people in front of him, and smiled:
"Thank you all for your protection over the past two weeks!"
Although his eyes were closed, Xiao Yan 'Xiao Yan powerful Spiritual Strength allowed him to detect everything that happened in this world. Therefore, he was already aware of the Xiao Yan Dou Qi that the three of Tian Ying had jointly created.
Upon hearing this, Tian Ying and the other two smiled and waved to Xiao Yan. Then, Yan Shi stepped forward, patted Xiao Yan's shoulder hard, and said with a playful tone:
"Hehe, you have no idea, the moment we sensed your soul fluctuations that day, Miss's expression immediately changed. She looked so anxious, as if she was afraid something had happened to you. Luckily, Tian Ying was there in the end..."
"Alright, alright, shut up! Miss is right here. If she hears you, you lion will turn into a bald dog."
Before Yan Shi could finish speaking, Tian Ying stepped forward and pulled Yan Shi, who was in front of Xiao Yan, behind him. The three brothers exchanged a glance, and then wisely stepped back a few steps, leaving the empty space in front of them to Xiao Yan and Murong Qianqian.
"Cough cough..."
Upon hearing Yan Shi's words, Xiao Yan couldn't help but cough twice, and the expression on his Elder Zhang face appeared somewhat unnatural.
Xiao Yan Xiao Yan well aware of the underlying meaning in Yan Shi's words, but he already owed too many emotional debts and had no desire to dwell on them further...
Therefore, Xiao Yan could only silently lament his predicament.
Meanwhile, Murong Qianqian, who was opposite her, saw Tian Ying and the other two retreat on their own initiative, and her beautiful face quickly flushed red. As she turned her head, she glared fiercely at Tian Ying and the other two behind her.
The three men quickly gave an awkward smile and retreated almost imperceptibly, fearing that this young lady might suddenly attack them at any moment.
Angrily withdrawing her gaze, the girl looked up and met Xiao Yan's gaze head-on.
Immediately, both of them looked somewhat embarrassed. Murong Qianqian's pretty face flushed even more, while Xiao Yan didn't know what to say. Meanwhile, the three Tian Ying members looked at the two of them with gloating expressions.
After a long while, Xiao Yan sighed helplessly in his heart. After a moment's thought, he raised his gaze to the girl before him and asked Murong Qianqian:
"Is Miss Murong's injury healed?"
Although the words sounded bland, anyone could hear the sense of estrangement in them.
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Murong Qianqian's pretty face froze slightly, and a hint of sadness flashed across her beautiful eyes. At the same time, even Tian Ying and the other two couldn't help but frown slightly.
For a moment, even the air seemed to stagnate. After a short while, Murong Qianqian let out a soft "hmm," and her slender hands, hidden beneath her sleeves, clenched tightly together.
Judging from Xiao Yan's words, he's probably preparing to leave...
As Murong Qianqian thought this to herself, the expression in her beautiful eyes became increasingly complicated.
"Hehe, that's good. It just so happens that I also have a favor to ask of Miss Murong, and I hope Miss Murong can help me."
Xiao Yan smiled again, his expression calm. As he finished speaking, he also cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Murong Qianqian.
Seeing Xiao Yan's expression, although Murong Qianqian was somewhat unwilling, she ultimately nodded blankly and said to Xiao Yan in a similarly flat tone:
"You're my savior. If you need any help, just say so. Besides, Xiong Gang hasn't been able to fulfill one of your requests yet, so just ask. I'll help him complete it."
Seeing this, Tian Ying three of them exchanged glances and then shook their heads helplessly. They knew that the reason why Murong Qianqian appeared so calm was not because she was calm and undisturbed, but simply because she did not want to show her weakness.
Xiao Yan felt a sense of helplessness at this, and after a moment's thought, he spoke again:
"My primary goal for this trip is to traverse the heart of the Xilin Mountain Range, but unfortunately, the terrain there is so unique and the air so cold that I can't even get in, let alone cross it, so..."
"So you want me to help you cross the heart of the Xilin Mountain Range?"
As Murong Qianqian finished speaking, this time, a pair of indifferent eyes instantly shot towards Tian Ying. He was the only one who could tell Xiao Yan these things.
Sensing Murong Qianqian's murderous gaze, Tian Ying immediately shrank back, his throat bobbing as he made a timid gurgling sound.
Hearing Murong Qianqian's words, Xiao Yan nodded expressionlessly, but she immediately snorted coldly and said sharply:
" Xiao Yan, if it were anything else, I could agree to your request without hesitation, but this is an exception! They should have told you that no one is allowed to set foot in the heart of the Xilin Mountain Range. That's the rule, and no one can change it..."
"But you can."
Before the girl could finish speaking, Xiao Yan interrupted her with a single sentence. Upon hearing this, the girl immediately snorted coldly, raised her beautiful eyes, and met Xiao Yan's gaze once again, who remained calm.
Their gazes met from afar, and the space between them distorted at that moment.
"Hmph! Yes, even if I could enter the heart of the Xilin Mountain Range, I could only go alone. I couldn't bring anyone else with me. So, you'd better make another request."
After a long pause, Murong Qianqian finally let out another soft hum and said in a detached tone.
Upon hearing the girl's words, Xiao Yan couldn't help but frown. This wasn't a question of whether or not she could bring her; it was simply that Murong Qianqian was unwilling.
However, since things had come to this point, there was no point in Xiao Yan saying anything more. With a helpless sigh, Xiao Yan frowned slightly and was about to turn around.
However, the next moment...
"Rumble..."
A sudden, violent booming sound, like thunder, resounded across the horizon. At the same time, the ground beneath Xiao Yan and the others trembled violently.
In an instant, the group looked up and saw countless magical beasts taking off like startled birds and scattering in all directions above the distant mountains and forests.
"That is..."
" East Wall!"
"Another incident!"
Just as the five people looked up, the expressions on the faces of the three people behind them, including Tian Ying, changed drastically, and they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
" The East Wall?! Could it be that it has collapsed again?!"
Hearing the three exclamations, Xiao Yan's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but exclaim inwardly.
At the same time, the three of them, including Tian Ying, also set off immediately, each unleashing their fastest speed, and sped towards the eastern horizon.
