Before the crowd, two figures slowly stepped out and walked to an open space ten feet away from Xiao Yan. One of them, a young man in a white brocade robe, cupped his hands slightly to Xiao Yan and smiled.
As the cool, faint laugh faded, Xiao Yan raised his gaze and looked at the young man.
The man was dressed in a long white brocade robe embroidered with clouds. He had a handsome face and an imposing presence, and one could tell at a glance that he was no ordinary person.
Under Xiao Yan's perception of the aura, what shocked him was that this man's cultivation was actually superior to his own, having reached the Mid-Stage Six-Star Dou Di.
With such cultivation, this person can be considered the number one among all the younger generation that Xiao Yan has ever seen!
Beside the young man stood a black-robed old man nearly two meters tall, his cloudy old eyes falling on Xiao Yan at the same time Xiao Yan Xiao Yan looked at him.
"Hiss..."
In that instant, Xiao Yan's heart tightened. He actually sensed a rather dangerous aura emanating from this old man, a feeling that even the sect leaders of the Four Great Sects had never given him.
" Nine-Star Dou Di!"
Upon thinking of this, Xiao Yan's expression subtly changed, a barely concealed glint flashing across his eyes. At the same time, a sense of apprehension welled up in his heart.
Of course, while Xiao Yan's emotions were shifting, his expression remained calm. Upon hearing the young man's words, Xiao Yan frowned slightly, feigning displeasure, as if he was still unwilling to release the old man in brocade robes.
"Hehe, my friend, you should know that this is Golden Radiance City. Everyone in the entire Western Region acknowledges that this is the domain of array masters. Almost all the powerful array masters in the Western Region are gathered here. You injured someone from the Formation Master Association here, and they won't let you off easily. Why not hand him over to me and let me handle this matter for you? What do you think?"
As if guessing Xiao Yan's thoughts, the young man parted his lips slightly, revealing a refined smile, while his gaze remained fixed on Xiao Yan, seemingly awaiting his answer.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan felt a slight sense of relief. The young man's words had given Xiao Yan a way out.
After all, he didn't want to fight these array masters in Golden Radiance City, but they were too arrogant and domineering, so he had to teach them a lesson. It has to be said that the young man's appearance was just in time, and his words solved the trouble Xiao Yan was facing.
Xiao Yan was naturally happy with this approach.
A glint flashed in his eyes, and then Xiao Yan looked at the golden-robed old man who was currently under his control in his palm with a chilling gaze.
The moment the latter met Xiao Yan's gaze, his entire body shuddered involuntarily. Xiao Yan, however, snorted disdainfully and lifted the latter up by the hand gripping his neck, suspending him in mid-air.
Then, just as everyone was confused, Xiao Yan waved his sleeve, and the wide sleeve struck the old man's chest heavily, sending him flying. He crashed to the ground like a broken sack. Instantly, the old man's face turned deathly pale, and he let out a muffled groan, forcibly suppressing the sweet, metallic smell.
Upon seeing this, the young man showed no displeasure. Instead, he looked at the golden-robed elder, a cold smile playing on his lips. Then, he turned his gaze to Xiao Yan, respectfully cupped his hands, and chuckled:
"Hehe, my friend is indeed magnanimous. If this had happened to someone more reckless, this guy would probably be dead by now!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan sneered inwardly. He also cupped his hands in greeting to the young man, said nothing more, and turned to walk into Golden Radiance City.
"My friend..."
"What's up?"
Suddenly, the young man chuckled again and spoke, while Xiao Yan frowned slightly and turned to look at him with a flicker in his eyes.
"Hehe, it's nothing. I just admire your abilities and wanted to get to know you. My surname is Qin, and my given name is Yun."
" Qin Yun..."
He murmured to himself, his eyes flickering slightly as he pondered the Xiao Yan. After a brief hesitation, he looked up at the latter again and said in a calm tone:
Xiao Yan.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yun smiled warmly, nodded to Xiao Yan Xiao Yan, and then gestured for him to enter the city.
Only after Xiao Yan left did the surrounding passersby start crowding again, and the flow of people quickly surged into Golden Radiance City. Taking advantage of the fact that the array masters were injured, they didn't even pay for their journey.
At this moment, the old man in golden robes, looking weak, approached Qin Yun, bowed respectfully, and said humbly:
"Young Master Qin, thank you so much for your help just now. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't have survived..."
"It's nothing, Chief Steward Shan, please don't worry about it."
Qin Yun smiled slightly, his kind and approachable demeanor making the golden-robed elder even more respectful. Then, Qin Yun, accompanied by the black-robed elder who had remained silent, walked past Chief Steward Shan one after the other.
"Hmph, you damned bastard, daring to injure me! When I get back and report this to my superiors, I'll make sure you regret it!"
Chief Steward Shan cursed angrily, then turned and was about to leave.
However, the instant he turned, Qin Yun, who had already let him pass, was now standing right in front of him. Chief Steward Shan was immediately startled and bowed deeply to the man before him, hurriedly explaining:
"Young Master Qin, please don't misunderstand. I was just scolding that brat. I wanted him..."
"Enough! Didn't you hear what I said earlier? I'll handle this for him, which means I'll take full responsibility for all the consequences. Go back and report to your superiors. What, are you planning to let them deal with me?"
Qin Yun's expression darkened slightly, and a murderous intent flickered deep in his eyes, but it was so well hidden that the person in front of him did not sense it.
"I wouldn't dare, I just feel..."
"You didn't feel anything, and nothing happened just now. It's all just your imagination. Go back and do what you need to do. As for things you shouldn't do, you'd better not let me know."
Qin Yun said indifferently, and then, under the terrified gaze of the former, he turned around again, concealing his murderous aura. In the blink of an eye, he had already disappeared Golden Radiance City.
