Having obtained the Blazing Flame Flower, Xiao Yan felt relieved of a worry, and his mood immediately lightened considerably.
After Xiao Yan and Jin Yao left the auction house together, Xiao Yan realized that they had unknowingly spent a day and a night there. Now, it had been five days since they first arrived in Yan City.
Outside the auction hall, the once crowded throng had long since dispersed, but even at midday, there were still quite a few pedestrians on the road.
Upon seeing Xiao Yan and his companions slowly emerge from the auction house, and especially when everyone's gaze fell upon Murong Qianqian beside Xiao Yan and the alluring Jin Yao, the men on the street immediately became intensely interested.
Everyone craned their necks, their eyes wide, scanning the two stunning beauties intently. Jin Yao's revealing body, in particular, appeared even whiter under the sunlight. Her voluptuous upper body, flat stomach, and long, white legs made the men present feel their blood boil, wishing they could pounce on her immediately.
When they noticed Jin Yao's icy, almost predatory gaze, they all shuddered violently. The thoughts that had just arisen in their hearts were instantly extinguished, replaced by a deep-seated fear.
"Snort."
With a faint snort, Jin Yao's beautiful eyes showed little improvement. With a flick of her body, she stepped into the void and departed first.
Afterwards, Xiao Yan glanced at Jin Yao's snow-white back exposed to the air, and his dark eyes narrowed slightly. He knew that Jin Yao's emotions were not because of the people in front of her, but because of Zhao Xian.
Just now in that stone chamber, Xiao Yan and Jin Yao couldn't help but ask Fang Qian some questions about Zhao Xian. However, upon hearing the latter's words, the expression on Jin Yao's pretty face did not improve at all; instead, it gradually became even more gloomy.
As for Xiao Yan, he already had some doubts about the Zhao Vision Memory, but after Fang Qian's explanation, he finally understood.
No wonder, no wonder Zhao Xian's eyes revealed a strong killing intent when he looked at me. It turns out that this guy was the head of the Zhao Clan in Sulan City half a month ago.
He must already know what happened there; otherwise, he wouldn't be looking at Xiao Yan like that.
However, upon understanding this, Xiao Yan's heart sank slightly. If that were the case, wouldn't it mean that Zhao Xian already knew his identity?
In Yan City, where Dou Di experts are now gathered, if Xiao Yan 'Dou Di identity is discovered by them, wouldn't he immediately find Xiao Yan surrounded by enemies?
However, it seems that Zhao Xian has not yet made this matter public, which means that Xiao Yan still has enough time to leave Yan City.
"Call..."
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he now had the Blazing Flame Flower in his hands, and there was nothing else in Xiao Yan City worth lingering over.
"Let's go. There's no need to go back to that place. Let's leave as soon as possible."
With a casual remark, Xiao Yan pulled Murong Qianqian along, and she nodded, obediently following him like a dutiful wife. Then, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan lightly touched the ground with his toes, and as an invisible ripple spread out, the two of them stepped into the void.
Without hesitation, the two immediately flew swiftly westward beyond Yan City.
After the two figures left Yan City, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared on the rooftop of a certain building. His silver-white eyes were filled with indifference as he stared in the direction Xiao Yan had left. Beneath his sleeves, his fair hands slowly clenched, and a chilling sneer curled at the corner of his mouth.
A few breaths later, the middle-aged man's figure slowly disappeared from the rooftop once again. At the same time, high in the sky, amidst the clouds, beneath the delicate body wrapped in a red dress, Jin Yao's pretty face revealed a cold smile.
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; this Ultimate Transformation Pill will surely be mine!"
With a soft murmur, Jin Yao moved her delicate body and swiftly flew towards the western outskirts of the city.
At Xiao Yan's speed, they had already covered nearly ten thousand miles in less than half an hour. When they looked back, Yan City had long since disappeared from sight.
As the two got closer to Shahepu, the surrounding environment gradually changed.
The vast, once verdant mountains and forests below now appear as a golden yellow, as if it were autumn.
The emerald-green grass on the ground gradually disappeared, replaced by a patch of reddish-yellow sand.
A sharp gust of wind swept past Xiao Yan's ears like an arrow, the sound of it breaking through the air echoing endlessly between heaven and earth.
As the two passed through the void, an invisible aura of pressure left a deep ravine in the sky above the reddish-yellow forest below. As Xiao Yan and the other left, the forest slowly returned to calm, and the ravine was filled in.
At a certain moment, the two people who were flying at high speed suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Murong Qianqian's pretty face showed a hint of curiosity. She looked around and then turned to Xiao Yan, asking involuntarily:
"What's wrong? Is there something amiss here?"
"We've probably been ambushed."
Looking around, Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes, and the vast Spiritual Strength between his brows spread out to the maximum extent, his expression becoming solemn.
Under the influence of Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength, the entire world around him came into view. He could sense that there were several extremely subtle auras in this world, and those auras were the reason why Xiao Yan stopped.
The source of that aura must be extraordinary, as even Xiao Yan, Third-Tier Alchemist, couldn't pinpoint its location.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yan, who was standing in the void, suddenly turned around. He clearly sensed that behind him, there was an extremely powerful and domineering aura that was rapidly flying towards Xiao Yan and his companion.
" Zhao Xian! That guy actually followed us secretly!"
"No, this guy must have guessed we'd go this way, so he set up an ambush here long ago. He knows how strong the Spiritual Strength of a Third-Tier Alchemist is; simply tracking him wouldn't be enough."
As soon as Murong Qianqian finished speaking, Xiao Yan shook his head and said in a solemn tone.
"Hahahaha! Xiao Yan, you didn't expect this, did you! Even if you've been careful all the way here, I still managed to stop you here!"
The loud laughter contained a frenzied killing intent, and in the next moment, Zhao Xian's figure appeared in the void a hundred feet away from Xiao Yan and the other person. His silver-white pupils glowed with red light, and with each breath Zhao Xian took, his aura surged, causing the surrounding void to tremble.
