It must be said that Huo Ting and Bai Ying's guesses were extremely accurate. They had a pretty good grasp of Xiao Yan's current situation, and the fact that both families had mobilized together put considerable pressure on Xiao Yan.
In the night sky, Bai Ying and his companion continued their standoff with the man in black robes, while the others bypassed him and dispersed towards the distant mountains and forests.
The man in black robes did not intervene, but his old face beneath the robes furrowed slightly, a hint of worry in his heart.
Huo Ting, on the other hand, responded with a cold laugh, keeping his eyes fixed on the latter while also keeping a close eye on the movements in the mountains behind them. Once Xiao Yan appeared, even if the person in front of him was strong, he was destined not to be able to protect Xiao Yan!
The dark jungle was silent. Ever since the group of people appeared in the sky, the magical beasts in the forest below had also obediently fallen silent.
This time, the Huo Clan and Bai Clan families mobilized together, with a total of two to three hundred people from both families. All of them were Half-Emperor, and the strongest among them were four Nine-Star Half-Emperor.
Besides the people from both families, there were Huo Yuning and Bai Zhan, who were leading the group, as well as Lin Zehong, the head of the Lin Clan, and Xu Songming. He originally didn't want to interfere in the affairs of the two families, but since this matter concerned Xiao Yan, he couldn't wait to drag Xiao Yan out immediately. According to what Huo Ting had said earlier, Xiao Yan must be seriously injured at this moment. If he could find him, Xu Songming would definitely torture him properly to vent his anger for himself and his granddaughter.
Hundreds of Half-Emperor- emperors mobilized together, their imposing presence and the invisible pressure they generated cast a chilling atmosphere over the entire area. After a brief search, they found nothing and had no choice but to disperse.
As these people dispersed, in the dark, dense forest, Xiao Yan struggled to sit up cross-legged. The injuries on his body had been completely healed by the Three Thousand Burning Flame, but the injuries inside his body would probably take some time to recover!
Xiao Yan took a deep breath, and with a thought, he mobilized the little Dou Qi he had left to refine the pill he had just swallowed.
Above the dense forest, hundreds of Half-Emperor spread out, forming a giant net that covered a large area of the forest. Xiao Yan's location happened to be within their search range. Fortunately, Xiao Yan was currently at the very edge of their search network. If they were lucky, they might not find him there. Of course, if they were unlucky, it was hard to say.
Unfortunately, Xiao Yan's injuries were quite severe at the moment, and he could no longer afford to be careless. If he did not recover from his injuries in time, even if he managed to evade the search, he would likely suffer from incurable aftereffects after recovering. This would undoubtedly be a serious blow to his cultivation path, and Xiao Yan would naturally do his best to prevent it.
As time ticked by, the three people high in the sky remained locked in a standoff. The man in black robes made no move, and Huo Ting Bai Ying only frown and wait. With this man in black robes in front of them, they had no way to get past him. If the latter hadn't chosen not to attack them, they would probably be dead by now.
The black-robed man's strength far surpassed theirs; at the very least, he had likely reached the level of Six-Star Dou Di!
The search area above the dense forest gradually expanded. Xiao Yan, who was refining the pills in his body, could already hear voices not far away in the sky. Immediately, Xiao Yan's heart sank slightly. He did not expect that these guys had already found their way here so quickly. It seemed that he could not stay in this place any longer!
A short while later, as Xiao Yan heard the voices getting closer and closer, he had no choice but to forcibly stop the refining process of the pills in his body. He opened his eyes, his pale face barely visible in the dark night. After making his way, Xiao Yan moved and quickly ran into the depths of the dense forest.
The search party finally arrived above the dense forest, but Xiao Yan had already vanished...
In the blink of an eye, a night had passed. Apart from finding some traces related to Xiao Yan, the searchers had not found any trace of him at all.
The chase lasted all night. The constant dodging throughout the night had not improved Xiao Yan 'Xiao Yan injuries. On the contrary, those shadowy figures behind him were getting closer and closer.
As for Huo Ting and Bai Ying, they disappeared from their sight in the distance.
In the dense forest where towering trees stand, the thick foliage blocks out the scorching sunlight. Occasionally, slivers of light shine through the gaps in the leaves, dappling the ground and creating a naturally formed pattern of light and shadow that is truly beautiful.
The jungle was quiet, except for the occasional distant, low growl of some unknown beast that pierced through the dense forest and lingered there.
Although this area is still Bai Clan territory, the deeper Xiao Yan ventures into this forest, the more he discovers that the magical beasts here are becoming increasingly powerful. Under Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength probing, there are no fewer than ten magical beasts with the strength of Half-Emperor, and even one at the Nine-Star Half-Emperor level, right in front of Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan stood pale-faced on the trunk of a giant tree, gazing into the distance. At the end of his vision was a mountain peak, and the owner of the Nine-Star Half-Emperor aura was there.
With a shift in his gaze, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan to look at the distance behind him, where he could vaguely see several black dots. Immediately, a thought flashed through his mind, and a bright light appeared in his eyes. Then, he leaped and flew towards the mountain peak in front of him.
A short while later, Xiao Yan appeared at the foot of the mountain. In front of Xiao Yan was a huge cave entrance. The aura of the Nine-Star Half-Emperor was inside this cave, which was its abode.
Xiao Yan took a step and strode into the cave.
"Roar! Where did this human come from? This is my territory! Retreat at once, and I may spare your life. Otherwise, if you dare take another step forward, I will take your life immediately!"
