"Hehehe, are you two really scared out of your wits? Do you still think this is your Cloud-Hidden Pavilion's territory? You'll die here, but no one will know that it was the three of us brothers who killed you!"
Inside the empty stone chamber, three figures dressed in black robes stood in a circle, surrounding two elderly men dressed in brocade robes.
The person speaking at this moment was an elderly man with a gloomy face, one of the three.
As the old man's eerie, cacophonous laughter subsided, the other two old men on either side also let out chilling, strange laughs.
"Snort..."
Although the old man's words were somewhat arrogant, they made the expressions of the two white-clad elders grow even more solemn.
Although the old man's words were not very pleasant to hear, they were true. If the two of them really died here, even if the three of them got out, they would never think that the cause of the incident was them. After all, the Ancient Ruins were a place full of dangers. Even if they were strong, it would be perfectly normal for them to die here.
Furthermore, countless powerful individuals have emerged from the Ancient Ruins, and Cloud-Hidden Pavilion cannot possibly search for them one by one. Even if they have suspicions, the first suspects will undoubtedly be from the Four Great Clans. With this shield, they have no worries whatsoever!
"Heh heh... Second brother, third brother, hurry up and attack! Don't give them a chance to catch their breath. After the battle just now, they must be badly injured. Now, it's time to finish them off!"
The leading old man let out a strange, cackling laugh, and then his gaunt body suddenly trembled. With a wave of his hands, powerful Dou Qi rapidly condensed between his fingertips, transforming into five sharp spikes in the blink of an eye. As he moved, the other two old men on either side also moved at the same time, preparing to rush towards the two old men in brocade robes.
However, at that moment, a chilling voice filled with a cold laugh suddenly came from inside the stone chamber.
"Heh, three against two and you still take advantage of others like this? You've really wasted all your cultivation!"
"Who is it! Show yourself to me!"
In an instant, the three elders stopped abruptly, and their gazes turned sharply. The elder in the lead shouted angrily, and with a sudden swing of his hand, five sharp energies tore through the void in front of him and slammed into the object behind him.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, a formation of light flashed on the stone wall, blocking the old man's powerful attack.
"Hehe, are you looking for me?"
At this moment, that faint, cold laugh came again. Immediately afterward, the five people in the arena looked over at the same time, and their expressions changed instantly. They saw a figure in black robes standing strangely in front of the two elders of the Cloud-Hidden Pavilion.
However, faced with this bizarre scene, not only the three old men with their backs to the black-robed man, but even the two old men in brocade robes standing behind him, were instantly filled with shock. They hadn't even realized when the black-robed man had appeared before them!
"What terrifying speed!"
The two old men couldn't help but exchange a glance. Even with their strength, they hadn't realized when the black-robed man had appeared before them!
At the same time, this astonishing idea suddenly arose in the minds of the three black-robed elders.
"Hmph... We don't know who you are, sir. We don't think we've seen you before. We hope you won't meddle in other people's business and cause yourself trouble."
After a long while, the leading black-robed elder took a deep breath, gestured for the other two elders to step back, and then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to the black-robed man before him, speaking in a slightly somber tone.
"Hehe..."
Upon hearing this, the man in black chuckled, and the old man at the head of the group narrowed his gloomy old eyes instantly, a cold glint flashing deep within them.
"I don't know any of you..."
"Then why do you still...?"
The elder at the head of the group still spoke in a deep voice. At the same time, his internal Dou Qi quietly circulated, and Dou Qi was quietly gathering in his palm, which was hidden behind his back and concealed by his sleeve.
"Although I don't know you, they are not people that just anyone can mess with."
Beneath the black robe, Xiao Yan's expression grew even colder. With his Spiritual Strength, how could he not notice the old man's subtle, clang? Instantly, a chilling light emanated from the depths of his dark eyes, hidden beneath the black disc.
"Are you determined to get involved in this matter?"
The elder at the head of the group spoke in an increasingly low and cold voice, while the sinister look in his old eyes intensified.
Just as Xiao Yan and the two sides were about to make their move, the two old men behind Xiao Yan suddenly spoke up.
"Sir, we thank you for risking your life to help us, but these three are formidable, and we are both already seriously injured. It's impossible for us to defeat them. Once we are both incapacitated, you will be facing all three of them alone, and we..."
"Hehe, no need to worry. Just tell me where your Cloud-Hidden Pavilion is located."
"Forehead?"
Upon hearing this, the two old men were slightly taken aback, but then they immediately understood why the man in black robes had helped them. They exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with overwhelming joy.
"Reporting to you, sir, we two are elders belonging to the Cloud-Hidden Pavilion branch in Yan City!"
The two old men respectfully bowed to the man in black robes and honestly reported the location of the Cloud-Hidden Pavilion.
Upon hearing Xiao Yan utter words that only someone from the Cloud-Hidden Pavilion would say, the two elders immediately assumed that the black-robed man before them was some important figure from the Cloud-Hidden Pavilion.
"Oh? Yan City, huh?"
Xiao Yan murmured to himself. At the time, the group in Yan City hadn't paid much attention, so they hadn't discovered that there was actually a branch of the Cloud-Hidden Pavilion in Yan City.
"Okay, I understand."
Immediately, Xiao Yan nodded slightly to the two old men in front of him. Upon seeing this, the two old men's expressions were filled with joy and surprise. It seemed that their guess was indeed correct.
"Hmph, you dare to chat with my three brothers so brazenly? Die!"
Suddenly, the elder who was the leader of the three men in front of Xiao Yan made a sudden move, pouncing on Xiao Yan like a venomous snake.
At the same time, the other two black-robed elders also suddenly moved, and the three figures rushed towards Xiao Yan and his companions in the center. In particular, the elder in the lead had made preparations in secret, which made his sudden attack even more terrifying. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to intend to take Xiao Yan's life with a single blow.
"Hmph, what, you think you're the only one prepared? Don't you think I am? You two hold them off, I'll deal with this guy!"
However, facing the elder's sudden attack, Xiao Yan snorted coldly. The moment he raised his eyes, his Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline was instantly activated. He twisted his hand, clenched it tightly, and then threw a punch at the black-robed elder in front of him.
