Xiao Yan's sudden arrogant action left everyone stunned.
Even Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing to the side, showed a look of surprise on her face, but she did not say anything to stop them.
In her view, Xiao Yan must have his own reasons for doing this.
"Stop!"
The captain of the Star Luo Empire's city guards, standing to the side, watched Xiao Yan's arrogant actions, realizing that he didn't take the Star Luo Empire seriously at all.
All eyes of the people passing by were now focused on Xiao Yan and Xiong Qianchang in front of him.
If this matter is not handled properly...
That means his time as captain is over.
Such a provocative incident occurred at His Highness the Crown Prince's upcoming investiture ceremony.
This also involves the Yellow-Clad Deacon of the Spirit Hall.
However, Xiao Yan did not look at his captain when he tried to stop him.
While slapping Xiong Qianchang's cheeks, Xiao Rang placed the jade tablet in front of Xiong's eyes and said:
"Deacon Xiong, do you think this jade pendant of mine is fake? Could I be an unknown person?"
As Xiao Yan finished speaking, the captain who had spoken up to stop him also turned his gaze to the white jade token.
He also noticed that Xiong Qianchang's expression turned terrified after his gaze fell on the jade tablet.
"This... this..."
Xiong Qianchang stared in disbelief at the white jade token in front of him.
Then their gazes focused on Xiao Yan Xiao Yan, taking in his youthful face.
Xiong Qianchang almost burst into tears.
He never imagined that he was merely eyeing the other man's female companion, and that Xiao Yan was just using some petty tricks.
But they ran into a brick wall.
Spirit Hall Elder Token.
Xiong Qianchang could tell at a glance that this thing was genuine.
After all, this token was made using the Thousand-Year Cold Jade Heart, and within the Spirit Hall, apart from the Pope Token, it is almost the highest-level token.
It possesses extremely high value in itself.
Thinking about what he had just done, Xiong Qianchang's body began to tremble uncontrollably, and fear showed on his face.
"Elder... Elder, spare my life!"
Xiong Qianchang's voice became hoarse, his body trembled, and he knelt down before Xiao Yan.
Her voice even carried a hint of a sob.
"I didn't mean it, Elder, please forgive me!"
The Star Luo Empire city guards, who had already surrounded the area, were shocked to see Xiong Qianchang's changed expression.
A look of confusion crossed their faces, but the captain who was closest to them had already realized what was happening.
He stared in astonishment at the token in Xiao Yan's hand, then waved for the surrounding city guards to stand still.
His face also changed to a fawning smile. He walked up to Xiao Yan, respectfully cupped his hands, and said:
"So it was an elder from the Spirit Hall. We were blind to their abilities."
He waved his hand, intending to dismiss the surrounding city guards.
"Wait!"
When Xiao Yan spoke, everyone stood still, not daring to make a move.
Regardless of his strength, an elder of the Spirit Hall is someone whose status is beyond their ability to resist.
Moreover, given that he had obtained the Elder Token of the Spirit Hall, they didn't think Xiao Yan's strength was weak at all.
As Xiao Yan's icy voice fell, everyone stood still, as if awaiting his Judgment.
"Deacon Xiong, what is the punishment for insubordination within the Spirit Hall?"
Xiao Yan stood with his hands behind his back, his lowered gaze fixed on Xiong Qianzhang.
He came to the Star Luo Empire intending to make a big scene, and wasn't Xiong Qianchang the perfect target to establish his authority?
"His cultivation should be abolished, and he should be expelled from the Spirit Hall..."
Xiong Qianchang answered Xiao Yan with a trembling voice.
Xiao Yan nodded slightly upon hearing this, a faint trace of Soul Power gathering in his palm.
Yellowish-purple and blackish-yellow.
Five Soul Ring were instantly released from Xiao Yan's body.
With such distinctive five Soul Ring, anyone with even a little bit of inside information would instantly recognize Xiao Yan's identity.
From the shadows surrounding the city gate, several figures immediately moved away into the distance.
He possesses the power of Soul King, yet has two ten- Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.
Xiao Yan's identity is almost obvious.
As a deacon of the Spirit Hall, Xiong Qianchang was naturally extremely well-informed.
The strength that Xiao Yan displayed at the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament had already spread Douluo Continent.
Therefore, the moment Xiong Qianchang saw Xiao Yan's Soul Ring, he already understood Xiao Yan's identity.
The woman accompanying him was, of course, Zhu Zhuqing.
Thinking of this, Xiong Qianchang's face turned deathly pale.
If it were an ordinary elder, it would be fine; others might not dare to bully someone of their status and would let them off the hook.
Or they might be mindful of the Spirit Hall's reputation and not care too much.
However, Xiao Yan is currently the number one genius of the Spirit Hall, and his name is known throughout the continent.
Even Zhu Zhuqing is among the Spirit Hall's seeded individuals.
Both of them are now idols that the younger generation of the Spirit Hall admires.
"Bang!"
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Xiao Yan struck Xiong Qianchang's left arm with a palm strike.
"Snap!"
A sound of bones cracking rang out instantly, and before everyone's eyes, Xiong Qianchang's left arm was broken by Xiao Yan's palm strike.
Xiong Qianchang felt a piercing pain in his left arm, but dared not show the slightest hostility on his face.
My heart is filled with endless regret.
She regretted ruining her future because of a moment of lust.
Putting everything else aside, just the fact that he offended Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing has already sealed his fate in the Spirit Hall.
Now that his left hand has been broken by Xiao Yan's palm strike, it will further affect his combat power.
Therefore, at this moment, Xiong Qianchang felt immense regret.
The people around him, seeing Xiao Yan's brutality, also showed fear on their faces.
Everyone had only heard of Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing's talents; this was the first time they had ever seen Xiao Yan in person.
In everyone's opinion, although Xiong Qianchang had been somewhat presumptuous, he did not deserve such a cruel punishment.
"Deacon Xiong, I'm only doing this for your own good."
Xiao Yan reached out and helped Xiong Qianchang up from the ground. Looking at his broken left arm, he said casually:
"Today you have acted disrespectfully and defied the rules of the Spirit Hall. If I do not punish you, what if someone uses this as leverage in the future? Wouldn't that jeopardize your future in the Spirit Hall?"
"Thank you so much for the punishment, Elder."
Xiong Qianchang's voice was hoarse, and the fear in his eyes had not yet faded.
But at this moment, he was simply no match for Xiao Yan.
They didn't even dare to show the slightest anger or hatred.
"Rest assured."
Xiao Yan reached out and patted Xiong Qianchang on the shoulder, a hint of a smile in his eyes.
He took out a first-grade pill he had previously refined, Blood Coagulation Powder, from his robes.
His attack on Xiong Qianchang was partly due to the latter's malicious gaze towards Zhu Zhuqing.
However, Xiao Yan's main purpose was also to showcase the extraordinary medicinal power of the Blood Coagulation Powder in front of everyone and to advertise himself.
"Now that the punishment is over, Steward Xiong should focus on healing his wounds."
As Xiao Yan spoke, he handed the pill in his hand to Xiong Qianchang and said:
"This is a pill I accidentally concocted, called Blood Coagulation Powder. It has a remarkable effect on treating external injuries. Deacon Xiong, please take it."
As Xiao Yan finished speaking, the city gate fell into dead silence once again.
Under such circumstances, everyone felt that Xiao Yan wanted to kill them all.
Even Xiong Qianchang's face showed a look of defeat.
Looking up at the smiling young man in front of him, a look of confusion appeared on his face.
However, under the suppression of Xiao Yan's powerful Soul Power, he dared not speak.
The city guard captain of the Star Luo Empire hesitated, wanting to speak but not daring to, as he had no right to interfere in the internal punishments of the Spirit Hall.
"Thank you... Elder!"
Xiong Qianchang was engaged in a fierce internal struggle as he looked at the red pill in Xiao Yan's hand.
A faint medicinal fragrance wafted through the air, yet his hands trembled slightly.
Finally, he took the pill from Xiao Yan's hand, closed his eyes, and swallowed it in one gulp.
But immediately afterward, the potent medicinal power erupted within Xiong Qianchang's body.
Under everyone's gaze, the blood that had been flowing from his fractured left arm instantly congealed.
Xiong Qianchang suddenly opened his eyes, a look of surprise on his face.
"This..."
"What? Does Deacon Xiong think I'm trying to harm you?"
Xiao Yan smiled brightly again and patted Xiong Qianchang on the shoulder.
Then he took Zhu Zhuqing and left.
"This pill was something I made by chance, costing only a few Silver Soul Coin. Deacon Xiong, you don't need to take it too seriously. Let's leave it at that for today."
At this moment, many people at the city gate had a glint in their eyes.
After witnessing the pills Xiao Yan bestowed upon Xiong Qianchang, everyone understood his previous cruelty and tyranny.
In particular, Xiao Yan emphasized the cost of this elixir.
In an instant, several more figures departed from various corners into the distance.
"Thank you, Elder. We respectfully see you off!"
Xiong Qianchang froze for a moment, then knelt down and shouted loudly in the direction Xiao Yan and Zhu Zhuqing had gone.
Xiao Yan's final words went beyond simply describing the effects of his elixir.
This also brings to a close what happened here today.
Although the injury to his left arm had not fully healed thanks to Xiao Yan's medicinal pills, it would be fine after a period of rest.
Xiao Yan glossed over his act of disrespecting the elders.
This means that no one will be able to use this incident against him in the future.
For Xiong Qianchang, this was not only not a disaster, but it could even be considered as establishing a connection with Xiao Yan, the "elder".
