In the sky above Helan City, two groups of people stood facing each other, each holding their own side. The atmosphere was particularly heavy, especially for the Fang Clan family. They saw that the opposing force was overwhelming, with nearly a dozen more powerful individuals than their Fang Clan, and their numbers of Dou Di experts were overwhelming. Judging from the current situation, the Fang Clan was undoubtedly doomed to defeat.
"Alas, what a pity! The Fang Clan stood strong in Helan City for so many years, yet they ultimately couldn't escape the fate of being swallowed up by the Wang Clan!"
"That's right. Ever since the Wang Clan's ancestor broke through to the Five-Star Dou Di, the Wang Clan has been recruiting powerful individuals from all over the world, all for this day. This time, the Fang Clan will probably have no choice but to bow down!"
Seeing such a scene in the sky, the pedestrians in the city below couldn't help but sigh, their words filled with desolation. After all, the Wang Clan's arrival was overwhelming, far surpassing Fang Clan of the Fang family. From any perspective, the Fang Clan was doomed today.
High in the sky, Fang Cheng faced Wang Xiang and the others with a solemn expression. Sweat dripped from his forehead, and even his hands under his sleeves trembled slightly, indicating the gravity of his heart.
However, what worries Fang Cheng even more at this moment is that Xiao Yan, the last reliance of the Fang Clan, has not yet shown up.
Could it be desertion at the last minute?
The elders on holiday couldn't help but think of this, and their fear intensified. If this were the case, wouldn't it mean that Xiao Yan had openly betrayed them? In that case, not only would the Fang Clan not be saved, but perhaps not even a single person would survive!
"That Xiao Yan!"
Immediately, everyone in the Fang Clan cursed inwardly, except for Fang Cheng and Yuan Qing at the front of the group, who were still anxiously waiting for Xiao Yan to appear.
They believed that Xiao Yan was definitely not the kind of person who would back down in the face of battle. Since he dared to say those words, he would definitely take full responsibility for their Fang Clan.
really...
Just as the Fang Clan family members were cursing Xiao Yan in their hearts, the void in front of Fang Cheng suddenly distorted, and then Xiao Yan, dressed in black robes, slowly appeared. Facing the Fang Clan family members, he smiled slightly and slowly swept his gaze over them. Anyone whose eyes met his couldn't help but shrink back, their faces showing embarrassment.
Meanwhile, behind Xiao Yan, the Wang Clan family members couldn't help but show puzzlement when they saw the black-robed man who had suddenly appeared. In particular, the Dou Di experts at the front and Xu Songming, Third-Tier Alchemist, couldn't help but show a solemn expression when they looked at the black-robed man in front of them.
The fact that this black-robed man could appear before them with such uncanny movement proved that he was also a Dou Di expert, and it was clear that he wasn't there to help them.
Therefore, this man in black robes must be a member of the Fang Clan.
"May I ask who you are? Today's matter concerns the Wang Clan and Fang Clan of Helan City. I urge you not to interfere."
Wang Xiang looked solemnly at the man in black robes before him, politely cupped his hands in greeting, and said in a deep voice.
Although he was Five-Star Dou Di, the person in front of him seemed to be shrouded in some kind of veil, and his aura perception could not get close to the black-robed man at all, let alone detect his cultivation level and strength.
Even Wang Xiang wouldn't want to provoke someone like that easily; if he could persuade them to back down, that would undoubtedly be the best outcome.
However, the man in black robes ignored Wang Xiang's words completely, not even turning his back to them. This made Wang Xiang secretly angry. He was Five-Star Dou Di, and he had never been ignored like this before.
Beside him, Xu Songming frowned, his gloomy old eyes fixed on the back of the black-robed figure in front of him. The figure's back gave him a sense of déjà vu, and at the same time, a faint unease rose in his heart.
Who exactly is this person?
Xu Songming was filled with doubts. As his thoughts raced, his anxiety grew, and even his breathing became slightly rapid.
Finally, just as Xu Songming's eyes were fixed on Xiao Yan, the latter seemed to sense something, a smile appeared on his lips, and then, under the solemn gazes of the Wang Clan members behind him, he slowly turned around, revealing a handsome face beneath his black robe.
As the sunlight streamed in, Xiao Yan tore off the black robe covering his head, basking in the sunlight. At the same time, his deep, dark eyes, like a still pool, turned to Xu Songming, and the smile on his face gradually turned mocking.
" Master Xu, it's been several years since we last met in Xuan City. I'm so glad you've been here!"
"Buzz!"
The moment Xiao Yan finished speaking, Xu Songming's body trembled violently. He was struck as if by lightning, and the shock and fear in his heart erupted like a volcano. He stared in disbelief, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets, perfectly displaying the disbelief in his heart.
He never imagined that the person before him was still alive. How could he possibly be alive when surrounded by two powerful families?!
"You... you... how could you... how could you still..."
"You're still alive, aren't you?"
Xiao Yan let out a cold laugh, his eyes filled with mockery.
" Master Xu, who is he?"
Seeing Xu Songming's expression, the two people beside him frowned. It was rather ridiculous that someone of his status would show such an expression to a young man.
"Go! Quickly, get out of here!"
Xu Songming, however, could no longer care about anything else. Having witnessed Xiao Yan's terrifying power twice before, he had already developed an indelible fear of this black-robed youth. He had thought that Xiao Yan was already trapped and bound by the two major families, but now, not only was Xiao Yan unharmed, but it seemed that even his cultivation had improved to a higher level.
"Hehe, Master Xu, why are you so nervous? We have six Dou Di experts here. Even if this kid is exceptionally strong, how could he possibly be a match for Dou Di expert? At worst, I'll have the Su Brothers finish him off, which will also rid you of a major threat."
Wang Xiang, however, paid no heed to Xu Songming's fear. He smiled righteously and was about to send the Su Brothers behind him forward when Xu Songming, his face contorted with rage, snorted coldly, turned to face Wang Xiang, and said in a deep voice:
"Shut up, Wang Xiang! You idiot! Why didn't you say so sooner?! Today... no! From now on, you and the Fang Clan Wang Clan can settle your own affairs. Just pretend I was never here!"
Xu Songming shouted in a deep voice, his gaze quickly sweeping over Xiao Yan, before turning to leave with the Five-Star Dou Di beside him. At the same time, the Wang Clan members couldn't help but show expressions of astonishment. They never expected that this so-called "master" would be such a cowardly person. What was there to fear from a young man?
"Whoosh!"
Just as Xu Songming turned around, Xiao Yan suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Hehe, since you're already here, why not stay?"
With a smile, Xiao Yan's thoughts stirred, and instantly, the powerful aura of a Five-Star Dou Di swept out like an invisible storm, pressing down on the two people in front of him.
