The Battle Through Heaven
Yan City
Two faint rays of light flew past the horizon like shooting stars. In an instant, they disappeared on the horizon.
Flying by Xiao Yan's side, Hai Bo Dong tilted his head and used the moonlight to stare at the young man. Right now, the terrifying foreign Qi in his body had already completely disappeared. Replacing it was still a Dou Shi Qi level.
Measuring the two drastic changes of Xiao Yan with murky old eyes, Hai Bo Dong pondered for a long time with his brows tightly clenched. A moment later, he suddenly said, "Sister Xiao Yan, the foreign Qi that can be compared to a Dou Huang is not really emitted by you, is it?"
Hai Bo Dong's sudden words caused Xiao Yan's flying speed to be slightly reduced. The latter turned around, looked at Hai Bo Dong and said with a faint smile, "Old Master Hai, why are you saying this?"
"Although I don't deny Little Brother Xiao Yan's extraordinary training talent, to be honest, after wandering around for so many years, I've seen people with the same training talent as you, I've seen people with the same training talent as you, but they at most have the strength of a Dou Shi or Da Dou Shi at your age. As for a Dou Huang, it was definitely impossible. " Hi Bo Dong replied with a smile, "Therefore, after sensing the foreign Qi in your body, I think you have activated something that no one knows about. Ke ke, in other words, that power is not really yours. "
Xiao Yan's brows slightly raised. He glanced at Hai Bo Dong, and a moment later, he replied with a smile, "Old Master Hai really lives up to his reputation as a Dou Huang. Your eyes are sharp. "
Regarding this matter, Xiao Yan did not directly deny anything. He clearly understood that the strong people in the Dou Huang class could already sense the difference between his own Qi and Qi Yao Lao. However, it was fortunate that Hai Bo Dong was not an alchemist. Otherwise, with the extremely powerful Spiritual Perception of a Dou Huang class alchemist, Yao Lao's spirit would have no place to hide and would be discovered by the person. This was also the reason why Yao Lao adopted a careful silence in the desert the moment Pill-King Gu He appeared. Although Gu He might not be able to fully sense Ya Lao's existence, but by relying on his extremely powerful Spiritual Perception, he would be able to tell that the power was definitely not possessed by Xiao Yan.
Hearing that Xiao Yan had no intention of denying what he said, shock clearly flashed across Hai Bo Dong's face. However, he knew it was better not to keep asking.
"Ke Ke, that strength may indeed not be mine, but Old Master Hai just needs to know that I can control it to compete with a Dou Huang." Xiao Yan smiled and said with deep meaning.
Hai Bo Dong smiled and nodded his head. Indeed, regardless of the origin of that power, Xiao Yan was at least able to control it. In that case, he was a strong person who could contend with a Dou Huang. As long as the hand held power, all doubts and provocations would collapse by themselves without the need to attack.
Seeing Hai Bo Dong not saying anything more, Xiao Yan slightly smiled. The other side is a smart guy. He knew that something like strength was not divided based on origin. Anyone who has it will have the right to speak.
"Let's go. We will try to rush to Yan City before noon. However, I am not so sure about the path towards Yan City. Therefore, I have to rely on Old Master Hai. " Xiao Yan said with a smile.
"Ke Ke, even though I have lived in Desert City for decades, I have been making maps every day. I am very familiar with this route. Follow me." Hai Bo Dong smiled and flapped his ice-cold wings. Speed soars.
Observing Hai Bo Dong who had suddenly increased his speed, Xiao Yan nodded his head. His Purple Cloud Wings were flapping, and he hurriedly chased after.
In the night sky, two rays of light flashed. The silver moon high in the sky slowly descended.
Yan City was located in the eastern region of the Jia Ma Empire. The vast grand road that led to and from there caused it to be a place one had to go through to head to the eastern region of the empire from its central region. The position he was in was quite lucky. Hence, this city known as the largest city in the eastern region of the Jia Ma Empire was heavily guarded by the empire all year round.
Within Yan City, other than imperial power, the strongest ones were naturally the travel destinations of Xiao Yan and Hai Bo Dong, the Mo clan.
Due to the overbearing monopoly of the Mo clan, nearly sixty percent of the property in Yan City belonged to the Mo clan. The profits from each year, even after reducing the great wealth needed to pay the necessary taxes and those needed to ease the relationship, were enough to make the Mo Clan even fatter.
A large tree was prone to wind but with the support of a huge monster called the Misty Cloud Sect, even the nobles of the Jia Ma Empire would not easily find trouble with the Mo clan. Therefore, by developing like this without worry, the power known as the Mo clan seemed to have become the ruler of Yan City. If not for the other three great clans in the eastern region guarding it, the power of the Mo clan would have extended to other major cities.
Even with the other three clans hindering its development, these few years, the Mo clan had begun to be able to suppress the other three great clans by still relying on its strong support, like a master who was at the top.
After a day of relentless rush on their journey, Xiao Yan and Hai Bo Dong gradually approached the territory of Yan City. When the silver moon in the sky turned into a scorching sun, the outline of a large city that was emitting traces of ferocity finally appeared at the edge of their vision. Under the sunlight from the sky, the distant great city was like an ancient ferocious beast crawling on the ground.
Xiao Yan and Hai Bo Dong landed several hundred meters away from Yan City. They rested for a moment before each of them wore large, long black robes. The broad long robe completely covered the bodies of the two people inside. The black cloth that was lowered from the top of their heads prevented people from seeing their faces clearly.
After changing their clothes, the two people followed the vast main road and walked slowly towards the towering big city not far away.
As they approached the city gate, Xiao Yan was somewhat stunned to see dozens of fully armed soldiers at the entrance of the city. They stood on two sides of the city wall and their sharp gazes continued to sweep through the passersby and left.
Seeing the seemingly tight security, Xiao Yan's brows were slightly pressed. This place could be considered quite far from the borders of the Jia Ma Empire. Why is the defense here tighter than in Desert City?
Shaking his head somewhat doubtfully, Xiao Yan and Hai Bo Dong exchanged looks. They pulled the black ‘Doupeng’ and quietly queued behind, following the queue as they slowly headed inland the city. TL: Doupeng – conical straw hat with long cloth mounted on the end. The cloth hid the man's face – like a robe.
"Ugh, how magnificent. The Mo Clan was indeed the largest clan in Yan City. " As they queued up, some of the men wearing mercenary uniforms in front of Xiao Yan started talking amongst themselves, probably out of boredom.
"Hee hee, today seems like the birthday of the First Elder of the Mo clan, Mo Cheng. I heard that not only have many powers in this eastern region rushed to congratulate him, but the Misty Cloud Sect has also sent someone here. "
"Oh? The Misty Cloud Sect has also sent someone? This Mo Cheng had high prestige. "
"Qi, the Mo clan may be big but in the eyes of the Misty Cloud Sect, what is it? If not for the Mo clan paying such a large tribute to the Misty Cloud Sect every year, the Misty Cloud Sect with their horizons would never have lowered themselves to get in touch with the Mo clan. " One of the mercenaries brushed his mouth away in disdain as he spoke.
"Hee hee, that's also true." The few mercenaries seemed to dislike the Mo Clan, and they all echoed with soft laughter.
Standing behind the group, Xiao Yan overheard the conversation of several mercenaries and narrowed his eyes. She laughed softly, "We have really come to a fashionable moment. The old bastard was actually celebrating his birthday. "
"Since so much strength has arrived, it doesn't seem to be easy for us to take action." Hai Bo Dong frowned and said hesitantly. ‘Ke Ke, Old Master Hai, with our combined strength, forget about the Mo clan, we need not fear even the Misty Cloud Sect. Moreover, do you really think that the leader of the Misty Cloud Sect will personally come to congratulate him? " Xiao Yan laughed softly.
"If that was the case, they would be too flattering to Mo Cheng." Hai Bo Dong smiled and shook his head. As the leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, an extremely powerful person for a creature of this size, was, how many people in the Jia Ma Empire had the qualifications to let him personally come to congratulate them? "
"Uh, I guess I didn't promise to act with you?" After laughing for a while. Hai Bo Dong suddenly fell silent and suddenly said.
"Hee hee, Old Master Hai, when the time comes and I need you, act. I know it's very expensive to get you to act, but I think I should be able to afford it. " Xiao Yan smiled and replied.
"An alchemist who could refine a tier six medicinal pill. I'm very hopeful that you'll owe me. " Hai Bo Dong patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and said gently.
Smiling, Xiao Yan raised his head and looked at the queue that was about to contact him. He was about to walk forward when the sound waves of horseback roaring were heard not far behind him. He turned his head and saw that in the distance, some men and women riding horses were galloping. The dust they lifted along the road enraged everyone in the queue. However, as their furious gazes stared at the leading human figure who was riding a horse, the anger in their hearts was instantly swallowed up forcefully.
The leader who was riding a horse was a young lady. The woman was wearing a red-coloured tight-fitting outfit that wrapped her extremely beautiful figure. Her face was extremely beautiful, and she wore a small crystal decoration on her clean and bright forehead. As he swayed slightly, the face that carried the spoiled aura had extra cleverness.
The sight of the red-clothed woman did not stop because of the problems it caused to the people in line. He only looked back once and continued, leading a group of people recklessly rushing into the city under the helpless gazes of the soldiers guarding the city.
The footsteps of the galloping horse slowly became distant. Only then did the sound of disgruntled scolding come from the people lining up.
"Damn. All she relied on was her identity as the second young lady of the Mo clan. A*s arrogant. Your Mo Clan has become a pet for the Misty Cloud Sect to obtain a position today. Any time they dislike your services, sooner or later they will drive away your Mo clan. "
Hearing the gentle curse sounding behind him, Xiao Yan smiled faintly. His narrowed gaze was diverted to the path of the dark city gate. After which, he rearranged his black robe and slowly entered under the supervision of the surrounding soldiers.
