The Battle Through Heaven
Meet the Ice Emperor Again
At the meeting point between the desert and the meadow, some green-colored leaves occasionally adorn the desert. The cut and cut of the leaves may be very rare, but compared to the monotonous golden-colored yellow sand in the desert, it was undoubtedly much more eye-soothing.
Since this place was close to the edge of the desert, once in a while one would see people coming and going, along with a small group of mercenaries who had returned after hunting Magical Beasts in the desert.
The black clothed human figure walked at the same speed at the intersection between the desert and the land. The human figure carried a black ruler comparable to his height on his back. This somewhat strange combination of people and rulers caused passersby to glance at him in surprise.
However, the black-clothed young man ignored the shocked gazes that darted from his surroundings. His footsteps slowly fell on the sturdy road. Although his pace did not seem to be very fast, if one were to observe closely, he would realize that every step the young man took seemed to have been meticulously measured; the distance between each step was roughly the same.
The heat of the sun hanging high in the sky did not cause the slightest bit of sweat to surface on the young man's forehead. His relaxed manner of walking did not look like someone in a hurry. Instead, he looked admiring the scenery along the way
The slow journey of the young man lasted for almost the entire day. As the hot sun slowly descended over the desert horizon, he finally stopped slowly. He raised his head and looked at the large city that had appeared at the end of his gaze. A faint smile appeared on his gentle face and look. Xiao Yan lazily stretched his waist. When he heard the fragile voice between the bones, he laughed softly and stuffed his hands into his sleeves. He smiled and said, "Wasteland City. I finally arrived. "
"Teacher, are we really going to refine a medicinal pill for that fellow?" Standing atop the sand dune, Xiao Yan stared at the entrance of the distant city where people were moving in and out as he whispered with a slight frown. ‘Men’ he was referring to was naturally the hermit Xiao Yan met by chance back then at ‘City of the Desert’, one of the ten former rulers of the Jia Ma Empire, Ice Emperor, the, Hi Bodong.
"Ke Ke, why not? Since we are already here, we should ask for help from Dou Huang along the way. " Yao Lao's old laughter emanated from within the ring, "After all, don't you want to get the remaining pieces of the map? Although you have gained ‘Heavenly Fire’ now, the improvement of the Qi Method in the future will be more difficult. Moreover, the ‘Purifying Demon Lotus Flame’ was quite an extraordinary thing. If you can obtain it, there won't be many people who dare to easily underestimate you in this Dou Qi continent. "
"But I kept feeling that the man was not an honest and simple person." Xiao Yan waved his hand and said.
"Hee hee, so what if he's not simple and honest? Even if he recovered his strength, he was merely a Dou Huang. What can he do for us? " Yao Lao chuckled softly, "But we should always be careful of others even though we are not soft persimmon either. In order to be safe, we must take some defensive precautions I have told you before that when refining medicinal pills, we can add some additional ingredients in them. If he had no ill intentions, everything could be discussed. But if he has some evil ideas, then naturally we will not show mercy. " TL: Soft persimmon = weak
Hearing this, Xiao Yan opened his mouth and smiled. He nodded his head and said softly, "Alright. Let's do as Master said. If we can really get help from a Dou Huang, it will be very beneficial. This was especially true for the trip to the Misty Cloud Sect two months from now. Although I am not worried about fighting to the death with Nalan Yanran, those old men from the Misty Cloud Sect might want to attack me out of anger and humiliation if I win. This Ice Emepror might not be a bad bodyguard. "
"Hee hee, the specialty of an alchemist is their network. Didn't you see the scramble for ‘Api Heavenly’ this time? With just Gu He's strength alone, he wouldn't be able to break into the inner region of the desert. However, the man had managed to invite so many strong people to help him. In the end, he even made a mess in the Snake-People race. " Said Yao Lao with a smile.
"Yes." Yeah." Xiao Yan smiled and nodded his head. He patted his Heavy Xuan Ruler and started walking slowly towards the large city located on the edge of the desert.
After successfully entering the city, Xiao Yan stood on the street and looked at his surroundings. He then followed the route from his memory and walked towards the end of the road. A while later, he stopped at the entrance of the ancient map shop located at the end of the street.
Right now, the shop door was already closed probably because the sky was dark. A faint light shot out from the crack of the door, shining down on Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan stood in front of the shop door and stared at the unlocked door. His heart could not help but rethink his luck. He did not expect that by running around randomly back then, he would meet a hermit Dou Huang. Results like this completely exceeded his expectations.
After tilting his head and sweeping his gaze across the street that only had a few people, Xiao Yan quietly opened the main door. After which, he walked in, turned his hand and closed the door of the building tightly.
Inside the shop, the Moonlight Stone emitted a faint light. A warm, non-piercing light shone through the entire room until it was bright enough.
The room still has the same decorations as before. The damage caused by the last fight had been completely repaired. Behind the platform filled with maps, an old man lowered his head and meticulously made a map in his hands. Since he was too engrossed, he did not sense Xiao Yan who was secretly entering.
When the four people turned around, Xiao Yan's gaze jumped onto their faces. The three men had pretty good looks but their eyes showed a hubris that greatly reduced the impression people had of them. The other person, the woman, was wearing a long, tight red dress. Her appearance is very pretty. With her figure wrapped in a red dress, it looked beautiful and orderly. The three men beside him occasionally swept their gazes over the attractive red-clothed woman's back. Adoration and longing will appear in their eyes. However, under this adoration, there seemed to be a hidden fear towards this woman in red.
Xiao Yan ignored the group of people whose actions seemed a little strange. His gaze swept over the old man and slowly walked towards the counter. He randomly picked up the map scroll and lazily flipped it over.
Hearing the sound of the map being reversed, the old man's ink pen that moved like flowing water stopped. However, just like the first time he and Xiao Yan met, he did not raise his head. He just said nonchalantly, "Sorry. The shop was closed for the day. If you need to buy a map, please come again tomorrow. "
Hearing the old man's cold and indifferent words, Xiao Yan could not help but shake his head. This old man …
Just as Xiao Yan was about to speak, the two big men moved nimbly and blocked Xiao Yan's path. Their hands held weapons at their waists as they stared at him with fierce faces.
"Uh?" The sudden scene before him caused Xiao Yan to be confused. Did he offend someone without even saying a word? Immediately, he shook his head, puzzled. Xiao Yan then tilted his head towards the woman in the red dress who seemed to have quite a high position in the Desert City.
"When Grandmaster Bing made the map, he didn't like to be bothered. Therefore, I want to trouble you to leave now. " The woman in a red dress who had a pretty appearance slowly walked forward and said weakly.
Although the woman's voice was gentle, it wasn't difficult to hear the arrogant and unreasonable tone within it. "… Don't tell me these people know his identity?" When he saw that this woman was very considerate of Hai Bo Dong, Xiao Yan was instantly flustered as he said with surprise in his heart.
Compared to the shock of Xiao Yan, the red-clothed woman in front of him was a little desperate in his heart. His father had always told him that this old man in the map shop was a strong person with incredible strength. So, whenever he had some spare time, he would instruct his precious daughter to come here to greet and inquire about the old man and use all her authority to give him the best care. However, the old man did not appreciate his treatment. Every time he came, he would accept a cold attitude for his extraordinary efforts. The woman with the haughty character had a hard time accepting the old man's actions.
Although she had always accepted the cold attitude, the red-clothed woman had great faith in her father. Moreover, at one instance, he vaguely sensed a terrifying Qi that the old man did not easily reveal. Under that Qi, he realized that he only had the right to tremble …
So, for a long time, he still treated the old man with great respect despite his indifference. His submissive and submissive attitude often made some of his colleagues distrustful. Was this obedient girl the same person as the spoiled demon girl who once caused a great calamity in the Desert City?
Today, he had come to the store to support the old man as usual. Naturally, the old man's attitude towards him was as indifferent as ever. Other than glancing at him when he entered, his attention was diverted to his map and was too lazy to bother them.
With the haughty character of the woman in red, her heart naturally had some hatred that she was hard to express when faced with such treatment. However, this hatred was something that he could not reveal to the old man. Therefore, Xiao Yan, who barged in at this moment coincidentally became the target of his anger.
Xiao Yan ignored the spoiled scream by the woman and just stared at her carelessly. He randomly threw the map in his hand at the counter, leaned his body to one side and stepped aside from the blockade of the two big men.
Seeing that Xiao Yan not only disobeyed his words and left, but instead became arrogant and moved closer, the red-clothed woman's brows became vertical. A dangerous glint flashed across his eyes and he slightly raised his snow-white chin. The several large men in the surroundings carried a ferocity on their faces as they began to surround Xiao Yan.
The red dress lady folded her hands in front of her chest as she looked at Xiao Yan with mocking eyes. However, just as he was ready to see the latter pleading for mercy, Xiao Yan performed an action that caused him to be completely stunned.
Xiao Yan pulled over the map with his hand and violently threw it at the old man who held a very honorable position in the woman's heart. At the same time he threw it, his mouth grumbling, "Old Sister, are you still pretending not to care? Do you still want me to perfect the medicine? "
