The Battle Through Heaven
The Journey Back Home
As Xiao Yan stared at Queen Medusa who had withdrawn her killing intent in just an instant, he could only bitterly laugh. This woman indeed did not only rely on her reputation to cause so many strong people in the Jia Ma Empire to be so afraid of her.
"Where do you plan to go next?" Queen Medusa returned the ‘Formula Melt’ Spirit Pill to Xiao Yan and asked randomly.
Xiao Yan carefully received the medicinal formula. He pondered for a moment before saying: "I think I will travel back to Wu Tan City first. After that, I might have to leave the Jia Ma Empire for a period of time. "
"Leaving the Ma Ma Empire, yes." Queen Medusa frowned slightly after hearing this before immediately nodding slightly. He lazily said, "As far as you are. After all, some of the leaders in that Snake-People race could take over for a while when I wasn't around. Until you perfect ‘Pil Spirit Defrost’, I'll keep following you. "
Xiao Yan sighed in relief when he saw that he did not oppose his plan. His hand gently patted the big black ruler on his back and smiled as he said, "Since it's been like this, let's go."
"The matter with the Misty Cloud Sect is over. Right now you shouldn't be in a hurry for some time, right? As we pass through several major cities during the trip back to Wu Tan City, help me search for the medicinal ingredients needed to perfect ‘Pil Spirit Defrost’. " Queen Medusa said weakly. His words indicated that he was discussing his ways, but his tone did not allow Xiao Yan to reject the suggestion.
With regards to this, Xiao Yan could only nod helplessly. His eyes looked at the dazzling and dazzling face of Queen Medusa before shrugging her shoulders and saying, "I suggest that you cover your face when you enter the city. Otherwise, there will be some unnecessary problems that will cause quite dizziness. "
Queen Medusa nodded her head slightly. He turned around and slowly walked along a small path within the dense forest.
Xiao Yan shrugged while staring at that curvy and attractive figure. He turned his head and his gaze turned to the edge of his vision, where a portion of the green-colored stone stairs was visible. His gaze slowly moved upwards and finally stopped at the mist-shrouded mountain peak. After being silent for a while, he let out a soft sigh. The agreement that had bound him for three years was finally completed. As the three-year-old target that had made him strive and struggle faded away, his heart suddenly felt somewhat empty. However, this loss did not last long. The graceful smile of a young lady suddenly appeared in his mind causing a warm smile to appear on his face.
"Xun Er, are you living well there? Wait me. " Xiao Yan softly muttered. A lump of heat soared in his heart as he thought of the young woman he had barely met for two years.
Xiao Yan turned around. His gaze glanced at the moving figure that had already walked out of the dense forest. Smiling, he hurriedly chased after her.
Xiao Yan did not return to the capital after leaving Misty Cloud Mountain. Instead, he and Queen Medusa changed their direction and flew towards Wu Tan City.
The distance between the capital and Wu Tan City was almost half the kingdom away. Even with the flying speed of Xiao Yan and Queen Medusa, to cover such a great distance this would require at least two to three days. Moreover, due to Queen Medusa's request, Xiao Yan had to stop every time they passed through major cities and waited for the auction house and trade fair to open. As a result of all this, the time they took for their trip increased a lot. The current Three Years Agreement had come to an end, and Xiao Yan had escaped the kind of life in the past where he had to squeeze out the entire time he had. Along the way, he had no constraints or burdens in his heart. He swayed leisurely, looking very relaxed. This was the first time he had truly enjoyed a leisurely life after the start of the Three Years Agreement.
For the three days he had been in a hurry to get home, the two of them had probably been living in some big city for some time, though, but Queen Medusa was somewhat disappointed that they did not even find one of the unique medicinal ingredients needed to purify ‘ Melt Spirit Pills ‘. He is also helpless in this. After all, if it was so easy to find the ingredients needed to refine a tier six medicinal pill, its value would also not be that expensive.
The two walked and stopped along the way, like a horse walking observing a flower. However, Xiao Yan was somewhat surprised that Queen Medusa still did not turn back into the form of ‘Heaven Swallowing Python’ even though the three days, which he mentioned, were over. In regards to this, he explained that he had discussed personally with the spirit of ‘Heaven Swallowing Python’ and thus delayed the time he had to change back.
Xiao Yan might feel somewhat astonished by this explanation, but he had no other choice. If he didn't change back, did he have the ability to force her to do so? When that time comes, a slap will come. Vomiting blood and being severely injured would be a minor problem by then.
As time passed quietly, Xiao Yan and Queen Medusa grew closer to the territory of Wu Tan City. Since they were delayed due to searching for medicinal ingredients, nearly five days had been used for the trip which was originally only two to three days.
Hei Yan City, a big city in the northern province of the Jia Ma Empire. From here, not far from Wu Tan City. With the speed of Xiao Yan and Queen Medusa, they should be able to reach it within half a day. Since the city was famous for medicinal ingredients in the northern region, however, Queen Medusa swiftly landed without asking Xiao Yan for an opinion. On the outskirts of the city, he used a thin green thread to cover his face before he grandly walked towards Hei Yan City. Behind him, Xiao Yan could only, in a resigned manner, restrain his desire to return home, and helplessly follow behind him.
Both are walking into town. During that time, no one came to stop them. Although the eyes of the soldiers guarding the city involuntarily and repeatedly swept over Queen Medusa's mature and beautiful body, her lofty and noble aura caused the soldiers, who were ready to make trouble, to, didn't even think of stepping forward to interrogate them.
After entering the city, Xiao Yan led the way and walked along the road. After that, he entered a restaurant where there was quite a lot of human traffic. The people in the northern part of the empire were sturdy people, therefore it was only possible to see such restaurants in general in the northern region of the empire. It is not common to see them in luxury places like the capital.
People of all trades gathered in such restaurants. A lot of news and information among ordinary people in the empire was spread out from such places. Hence, it was quickly able to tell Xiao Yan where the best and widest variety of medicinal ingredients was within the city.
The two of them walked into the restaurant and sat at a table beside the window. Queen Medusa propped up her cheeks with her hands as her pretty eyes stared out the window. His expression showed indifference and indifference. During these few days, all the affairs regarding obtaining information were fully handled by Xiao Yan.
Seeing this way of hers, Xiao Yan could only shake his head helplessly. He waved his hand and called out to a female servant. After ordering the wine, which was not too strong, he stood up and headed to some places that were bustling with people. After doing this repeatedly for a long time, Xiao Yan finally withdrew back to the table with a sweaty face. He looked at Queen Medusa who was comfortably sipping wine and could not resist****** without passion. Isn't this woman a little too arrogant.
"How's that? Have you asked clearly? " Queen Medusa's pretty eyes glanced at Xiao Yan as she asked gently.
"Conon there is a very famous herbal hall in this city. There were some rare medicinal ingredients in stock there. It's just that it's very expensive. " Xiao Yan lifted his wine cup and poured it into his mouth before growling.
"rested. After this, we will go to the potion hall to take a look. " Queen Medusa nodded in satisfaction as she replied with a smile.
Xiao Yan gently patted the black ruler on his back, but was too lazy to continue speaking.
"Hey, have you heard about the matter related to the Misty Cloud Sect?" As Xiao Yan and Queen Medusa were resting quietly, a secret voice could be heard not far from their table, causing Xiao Yan to avert his gaze.
"Chi, you're talking about the matter of the young man named Xiao Yan making a huge mess in the Misty Cloud Sect, aren't you?" A man pursed his lips in disdain at his friend who had a mysterious looking face.
"Uh, you already know about that?" The person who spoke earlier was instantly startled as he asked timidly.
"The matter of this magnitude was already spread out about two days ago. That Xiao Yan defeated the Junior Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect Nalan Yanran in an official match. I heard that it seems because Nalan Yanran canceled their engagement three years ago. Looking at it now, the news of Nalan Yanran being forcefully divorced by Xiao Yan back then did indeed have some reliability to it. Looking at the strength and talent that Xiao Yan had displayed at the moment, she was more than enough to be worthy of marrying Nalan Yanran. "
"Uh, what happened after that?"
"After that, it seemed that the Misty Cloud Sect wanted to defend Xiao Yan forcefully. Hee Hee's. Even though he was young, the strong people behind him were truly frightening to the point of leaving others speechless. I have heard that in the battle back then, not only were two powerful Dou Huangs, but also Queen Medusa of the Snake-People race appeared. The Misty Cloud Sect may have used up all their efforts, but they still let Xiao Yan leave intact. "
"Hee hee, according to reliable information, that Xiao Yan is also the champion of the Grand Meeting Alchemist this season." The startled look that surrounded him caused the man's arrogance to expand. He laughed and once again revealed shocking information.
"Isn't the champion of the Grand Meeting Alchemist called Yan Xiao?" A soft voice suddenly appeared.
"Yan Xiao, Xiao Yan. Wouldn't he if we read it in reverse, ha ha. " The man arrogantly said with a smile.
"Uh." The people around him were for a moment empty. Soon, they suddenly realized. Although the matter about this name was meaningless after it was mentioned, what kind of normal person would not be better to do, other than read the name in reverse?
"Ah, this guy is really amazing. At such an age, he had done earth-shaking things. In the future, once he matures, won't he become even more extraordinary? " The man violently poured a strong wheat wine into his mouth and sighed in envy. Which guy doesn't have a hot-blooded dream of doing something big? Due to their limited abilities, however, many people are destined to only fantasize about such things.
Xiao Yan was somewhat stunned to hear the conversation being sent, and could not help but smile bitterly and shake his head. He had not expected that the matter in the Misty Cloud Sect had completely spread to the other side of the empire in just a few days.
"You're a famous man now." Queen Medusa shook the wine cup in her hand and teased.
Xiao Yan extended his hand and said, "I am not interested in such a thing. Alright, let's go and see if the potion hall has the medicinal ingredients we need. "
"Yes." Yeah."
Xiao Yan and Queen Medusa stood up and were about to leave the restaurant when the conversation from the table beside them was once again transmitted, causing Xiao Yan's expression to slightly change.
"That Xiao Yan seems to be someone from the Xiao clan in Wu Tan City, right?"
"That's right, the Xiao clan could really show their faces this time around. With this clan member who was a truly terrifying person, who in the northern region dared to disrespect the Xiao clan? "
"Hee hee, maybe not so. Coincidentally, I just came from Wu Tan City a while ago. I heard that the Xiao clan has encountered trouble for these two days. "
"Hm? There was actually someone who dared to go to the Xiao clan to look for trouble this time? "
"I'm not sure about this. The Xiao Clan was very strict about keeping its secrets. I'm not sure about the news either. " The man shook his head before lowering him to drink a mouthful of wheat wine. However, he suddenly fell silent. He raised his head slowly and looked at the black-robed young man who appeared in front of him. A powerful force enveloped the latter's body, causing him, who was merely a two star Dou Zhe to swallow a mouthful of saliva. He carefully said, "This master, is something wrong?"
"What did you just say .. What kind of problem does the Xiao clan face?" Xiao Yan asked in a deep voice.
"Uhs. The little me is not so sure. I only heard that an overly intense fight had erupted in the Xiao clan two days ago. After that, the Xiao clan refused any outside guests to enter. Moreover, from that day on, the clan leader Xiao Zhan who often appeared no longer appeared. I think he has to solve the problems within the clan. " The man said agitatedly.
Xiao Yan's expression gradually became dark and solemn. His heart suddenly felt discomfort. After thanking the man, he turned around and hurriedly descended the stairs with Queen Medusa.
The weapon on the person's back was a bit strange. Someone suddenly said in a soft voice as they looked at Xiao Yan who had disappeared from where the stairs were.
"Weapons? A ruler?" The man was shocked earlier. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something. A shock gradually surfaced on his face as he shouted involuntarily, "He is Xiao Yan ?! She's actually this young? "
The current Xiao Yan naturally did not notice the commotion in the restaurant above. After descending the stairs, he stood on the road and furrowed his brows tightly. He looked at Queen Medusa and said, "I can't stay here. I have to return to Wu Tan City now. "
Hearing this, Queen Medusa's brows were gently put together. He weakly said, "Let's see the drugstore here first. If there are any medicinal ingredients I need … "
"I said, I want to return to Wu Tan City now!" Xiao Yan's gaze was sharp as he stared at Queen Medusa while voicing each word with a pause as he spoke in a deep voice.
Queen Medusa was startled by Xiao Yan's attitude which suddenly became firm. During these few days, Xiao Yan had never been against what he said. It was truly unexpected that he would actually refute her at this moment. This caused Queen Medusa, whose identity was the queen of the race, to become a little angry.
"This queen wants to find medicinal ingredients!" Her bewitching disciple stared coldly at Xiao Yan as Queen Medusa slowly said.
Xiao Yan's eyes stared intently at the pair of disciples that caused the man to obsess. He suddenly stretched out his hand and under the shocked gaze of Queen Medusa, he tightly grabbed her delicate hand that was so soft that it looked like it was boneless. Before the latter was about to explode, he coldly said, "If you want ‘Pil Spirit Defrost’, then don't air the property of a queen in front of me. Before, I respected you because you have helped me escape. If you keep bothering me by being annoying and being unreasonable, don't blame me for not giving your face away. "
"Go!"
As soon as he said those words, Xiao Yan pulled him and quickly ran towards the outside of the city. Queen Medusa seemed to be suffering from a great shock due to the sudden explosion of Xiao Yan, which was very different from the previous period of time. At this moment, he actually did not react to anything. Only his eyes carried some shock as he stared at the first one. He had never thought that there would actually be someone who dared to roar at him in such a fierce manner given his status.
For a moment, an emotion in which he felt unable to laugh or cry suddenly appeared in Queen Medusa's heart. How many years has it been since he was treated like this by someone? Moreover, this was from a young Da Dou Shi that he could send flying with just his slap. Does he think that his life is too long?
Xiao Yan pulled Queen Medusa and ran out of the city. He quickly summoned the Purple Cloud Wing and quickly flew towards Wu Tan City.
By imposing himself to his limit, a partially visible outline of the city appeared before Xiao Yan in just two hours.
