Seeing the golden light rapidly spreading beneath his feet, and the mysterious Dou Qi gradually becoming clearer within that light, Xiao Yan's heart sank. He frantically circulated his Dou Qi, swung his giant ruler, and prepared to retreat.
However, at that very moment, four streaks of light shot rapidly around Xiao Yan Xiao Yan, instantly surrounding him. The four of them encircled Xiao Yan, and the entire sky above Shahepu became their encirclement.
" Xiao Yan, I advise you to obediently leave with us, so as to avoid making any more futile struggles, which will only lead you to your doom."
Chen Zhen gripped his golden staff, his face stern and solemn.
At the same time, the other three also released their auras and pressure, pressing down on Xiao Yan Xiao Yan an attempt to intimidate him.
"Ha, Sect Master Chen's words are rather laughable. My current predicament is surely your doing, isn't it? And you call it a dead end? You probably never intended to leave me a way out. Since you're going to fight, why waste words? Just come at me, and I'll accept your challenge without hesitation!"
Xiao Yan sneered. Over the years, the Four Great Sects had never given up their pursuit of him. Xiao Yan did not believe that they would let him go after obtaining the Heavenly Severing Steps. Especially that old bastard Ye Luotian, who was two-faced and the most dangerous. Last time in the Xilin Mountain Range, if Leng Bingshuang hadn't intervened in time, he would probably be dead. Not to mention that the latter would not let him go, Xiao Yan himself would not let Ye Luotian go either.
In addition, there are Chen Zhen and Wu Jitian. These two guys almost caused Luo Jin's accident back then, and Xiao Yan has always kept that in mind. As for Jian Ming, there is no need to say more.
In short, the conflict between Xiao Yan and these Four Great Sects has now reached a point of no return. Unless these Four Great Sects are completely wiped out of the Western Region, Xiao Yan will never give up!
But what's troubling Xiao Yan now is that with the Four Great Sects leaders gathered together, Xiao Yan doesn't think he has the ability to face four High-Level Dou Di experts on his own.
Now, the most important thing is to do everything we can to retreat from this place.
"Move him! Capture him!"
Jian Ming let out a low shout. He was very clear about the affairs of the Four Great Clans under his command. Ever since he learned that the Four Great Clans were sent to capture Xiao Yan had all died in the Xilin Mountain Range, he had become even more determined to kill Xiao Yan. Now that Xiao Yan was so close at hand, he was already impatient.
With a low shout, the other three nodded in unison, exchanged glances, and then prepared to attack Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan gripped the giant ruler, its surface covered in raging flames. At that moment, the Heavenly Flames within his body surged outwards wildly, rapidly condensing into a suit of Heavenly Flames Armor on his body.
But just as the four people around Xiao Yan were about to attack him, the void in front of Xiao Yan suddenly began to distort.
Upon seeing this, the four of them were all startled, and their figures, which were about to step forward, froze in place.
Then, under the gaze of the four people, an old man in a black robe with a kind face appeared before them.
Upon seeing the old man appear, the members of the Four Great Sects immediately frowned. Especially when their gazes fell on the badge worn on the old man's chest, their faces instantly revealed extremely ugly expressions.
That badge was indeed the Alchemist Badge.
If he were just an ordinary alchemist, this wouldn't warrant the four of them showing such unpleasant expressions. However, the seemingly ordinary old man had five pills that looked exactly like the real thing engraved on the Alchemist Badge he wore on his chest.
These five pills represent the old man's identity.
A Fifth-Tier Alchemist!
" Fifth-Tier Alchemist?! You're from the Alchemist Alliance?!"
" The Western Region Alchemist Alliance only has one Fifth-Tier Alchemist, and that's the vice president of the Alchemist Alliance, so you are..."
"You are Han Dong, the vice president of the Alchemist Alliance."
Chen Zhen three stared intently at the black-robed elder who had appeared in front of Xiao Yan, their expressions solemn.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan, standing behind the old man, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, feeling extremely surprised. He and the old man in front of him seemed to have never met before, yet the latter would actually stand up for him, which made him quite suspicious.
"Hehe, it is truly an honor that the four sect leaders remember my name!"
Upon hearing this, the old man in black robes smiled faintly, stroked his beard lightly with one hand, and glanced at the four people in front of him before looking at Xiao Yan behind him.
"No wonder you've reached such a high level in both Dou Qi and alchemy at such a young age. So you're Mr. Xiao Yan! Your name is legendary!"
Han Dong bowed slightly to Xiao Yan, who quickly returned the bow.
"Junior Xiao Yan greets Senior!"
The person before him was a Fifth-Tier Alchemist and the vice president of the Alchemist Alliance. Even Xiao Yan would have to suppress his arrogant nature in his presence.
"Hehe, young friend Xiao Yan, there's no need for formalities. I've come here to invite Xiao Yan to our Alchemist Alliance. What do you say?"
Han Dong glanced at the four sect leaders out of the corner of his eye before looking at Xiao Yan and smiling.
"Forehead..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's expression faltered slightly, a hint of surprise creeping into his heart. Why would this old man, the vice president of the Alchemist Alliance, seek out a mere Five-Star Dou Di? Or perhaps, he had taken a liking to Xiao Yan's alchemy skills?
Upon thinking of this, Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, as if he had just realized something.
Back in the Ancient Wilderness City of the Southern Region, Zhou Tai, that Third-Tier Alchemist, joined the Alchemist Alliance precisely because he was a Third-Tier Alchemist.
Zhou Tai had once told him that the Alchemist Alliance Alchemist Alliance actively invite people with exceptional Yao Tian to join, which would not only enhance his own strength but also provide an extra layer of protection for alchemists. It was precisely because of the Alchemist Alliance that Zhou Tai could act without so many worries, and it also reduced a lot of unnecessary trouble for him.
And now, Xiao Yan is in just such a situation.
The combined forces of the Four Great Sects have blocked all of Xiao Yan's escape routes. If he were to rely solely on himself, it would be impossible for him to escape their encirclement. However, the appearance of Han Dong might be able to completely turn the tide.
With the Alchemist Alliance taking action, even the Four Great Sects would have to think twice before making a move. However, whether they could actually stop these four people was still an unknown.
As things stand, Xiao Yan and Han Dong have only just met for the first time. Logically speaking, the latter would never offend the Four Great Sects for his sake. If that's the case, Xiao Yan will probably have to rely on himself to handle Xiao Yan today.
"Mr. Xiao Yan, there's no need to worry. Please leave these four to me."
Seemingly sensing Xiao Yan's thoughts, Han Dong smiled faintly, then turned his gaze to the four people behind him.
