"Whoosh--"
High above, the crowd gasped in disbelief as pairs of disbelieving eyes fell upon the figure in black robes below. It was unimaginable that the towering blood pillar that had claimed the lives of hundreds of Half-Emperor just moments before had vanished so mysteriously before this enigmatic figure in black robes.
"That... that pillar of blood... it actually disappeared!"
Above the sky, a group of Half-Emperor stared dumbfounded at the four black curtains in front of Xiao Yan. It was unbelievable that these four seemingly insignificant black curtains could so easily deal with the four pillars of blood that had killed hundreds of Half-Emperor. This was too shocking!
"Hmph, disappeared? What disappeared? That pillar of blood was completely devoured! What a terrifying fellow! Just who is he?!"
Upon hearing the voice coming from the crowd, Zhuo Bentang's Elder Zhang face twitched violently. He had clearly sensed that the moment the blood pillar touched the four tents, an extremely strange power emanated from them, and that was the reason why the four blood pillars disappeared inside the tents.
" The Power of the Great Dao... and... this is the Great Dao of the Void!"
At this moment, even Zhuo Lin, who was standing quietly to the side of Zhuo Bentang, couldn't help but look down at Xiao Yan. Especially when his gaze fell on the four tents, a look of shock flashed in his eyes.
Looking across the entire Western Region, there are countless people stronger than Zhuo Lin Zhuo Lin, but very few who can truly astonish him. Given Zhuo Lin's status and strength, he has seen far too many Dou Di experts, yet the number of people who can truly pique his interest is extremely limited. And these few individuals all wield powerful Power of the Great Dao.
However, today he encountered an even more terrifying individual.
The Great Dao of the Void is among the top-ranked of all the Power of the Great Dao. Compared to the Power of the Great Dao he had seen before, those were simply insignificant.
"Young Master, this person will likely be our greatest adversary on this journey!"
Zhuo Bentang's eyes were solemn. The Power of the Great Dao was something so elusive and difficult to find that even he, Three-Star Dou Di, had never comprehended. Now that he had seen it, he naturally dared not be careless. Moreover, judging from the black-robed man's attack, his strength was probably quite formidable. Perhaps the other party was also a Three-Star Dou Di, or even stronger than him.
He cannot afford to be careless when facing an opponent of this caliber.
"If we make him our enemy, he will naturally become our adversary. But if we can become his friend, then perhaps we will gain quite a bit from this trip."
Zhuo Lin narrowed his eyes. Compared to Zhuo Bentang's solemnity, he was much more relaxed. No one would want to be an enemy of a Dou Di expert. It would be best if they could become friends, but if not, they should never be enemies. Otherwise, no one could easily withstand the wrath of a Dou Di expert.
"Does the young master want to join forces with him? But we don't know his true identity. If he has ulterior motives, wouldn't we be in trouble?"
Upon hearing Zhuo Lin's words, Zhuo Bentang couldn't help but frown slightly. Traveling with someone whose identity he didn't know could never guarantee their safety.
"Heh, trouble? We're already in trouble. If we don't join forces with him, he'll definitely be on our side. But if we take the initiative to join forces with him, perhaps we'll have other options. After all, even if he's Dou Di expert, he can't possibly fight against the combined forces of the Four Great Clans on his own!"
Zhuo Lin sneered; he had already considered this point in his mind.
"Even if we join forces with this guy, won't we then have to face the combined might of those three families? If they join forces, we'll be in a very passive position!"
"So what if they join Zhuo Clan? When have we ever not been a thorn in the side of those three families? As long as we can get him to join forces, we'll still be winners. At worst, we'll just split everything we get with this guy 40/60."
As soon as Zhuo Bentang finished speaking, Zhuo Lin continued to speak with a calm expression. These things, which would require a lot of thought in the eyes of ordinary people, sounded as if they had been arranged long ago when spoken by Zhuo Lin.
Hearing Zhuo Lin's resolute words, Zhuo Bentang's admiration for his young master grew even stronger. With such a mindset, how could the Zhuo Clan not prosper!
"Young Master's talent and wisdom are truly admirable!"
Suddenly, Zhuo Bentang took a step back and bowed respectfully to Zhuo Lin in mid-air. Upon seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Zhuo Lin's eyes, but in the end, he still smiled coldly to himself. He had seen plenty of sycophants, but he never expected that Zhuo Bentang, a Three-Star Dou Di, would stoop to such a level. However, the more Zhuo Bentang acted this way, the more Zhuo Lin avoided him.
"Hmph, now is not the time to be happy. Instead of spouting this nonsense, you should think about how to get closer to this person. Otherwise, no matter how proactive we are, we'll only be rejected."
With a soft snort, Zhuo Lin stopped speaking and stared intently at Xiao Yan below, a sharp glint in his eyes.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Bai Ying, the head of the Bai Clan, was also looking at Xiao Yan in the void below with surprise. However, compared to the former, Bai Ying had a faint smile on his lips.
Even before setting off, he had been keeping an eye on the people in the city, hoping to see if Xiao Yan was among them. Unfortunately, with the Power of the Great Dao as a barrier, no matter how he searched, he ultimately returned empty-handed.
However, now that Xiao Yan has revealed his Power of the Great Dao, Bai Ying, who had already seen this tent before, didn't even need to think about it. He immediately recognized the black-robed man in the void as Xiao Yan.
"Heh heh, this guy's been hiding well. Even I couldn't detect him using the Power of the Great Dao. Luckily, the Sun Clan members have already entered the ruins; otherwise, you probably wouldn't even have had the chance to enter today."
With a chuckle, Bai Ying first glanced at the void above the entrance to the ruins. Just now, the Sun Clan family had already entered the ruins first, which was why Xiao Yan's identity was able to remain hidden.
The smile on his lips gradually faded, and at the same time, Xiao Yan, hidden beneath his black robe, seemed to sense something as his dark eyes swept over the crowd high above. When they passed over Bai Ying, Xiao Yan's eyes paused slightly before landing on Zhuo Lin.
Although Bai Ying and Zhuo Bentang are both Three-Star Dou Di, for some reason, the only person who makes Xiao Yan feel pressured at this moment is not Zhuo Lin.
Immediately, a solemn expression welled up in the depths of Xiao Yan's dark eyes. Although he didn't know what that strange feeling was, Xiao Yan had no doubt about his intuition.
"This Zhuo Lin is probably not easy to deal with!"
