The Battle Through Heaven
The Change of Events in the Xiao Clan
The two landed somewhere not far from Wu Tan City. Xiao Yan ignored Queen Medusa by his side after landing. His expression was somewhat dark as he quickly walked towards the wide-open city gate.
As soon as he walked closer to the city gate, Xiao Yan raised his head to glance at the three big words ‘City Wu Tan’ above the city gate. His footsteps stopped unconsciously. As he observed the bustling and noisy human voice transmitted faintly through the city gate tunnel, he sighed softly and muttered to himself, "Wu Tan City. I, Xiao Yan, have finally returned home. "
Xiao Yan lifted his foot and walked to the city gate and passed through the rather dark tunnel leading to the city. After which, the space before his eyes suddenly brightened in the sunlight. He raised his head slightly and a familiar and familiar crossroads appeared before him.
It's been two years, but almost nothing has changed. Xiao Yan laughed softly. The faint warm feeling upon returning home caused the dark and solemn expression on his face to weaken slightly. He turned his head and looked at Queen Medusa who was walking at a steady pace that was neither fast nor slow behind him. After which, he turned his head back, lifted his legs, and quickly walked down the path he had been on for over a decade.
Since Xiao Yan was worried about the events that were happening to the clan in his heart, Xiao Yan did not stop along the way. He hurriedly and quickly walked down the road from his memories. Along the way, when he passed through some markets that used to belong to the Xiao clan, he stopped his steps slightly. He frowned when he saw that the market had few people. After which, his footsteps gradually became faster.
More than ten minutes later, Xiao Yan who had passed through several streets very familiarly suddenly stopped his steps. He raised his head and looked at the large courtyard located by the side of the road. Door page has two big words, ‘klan Xiao’. This caused him to slowly sigh in relief.
Xiao Yan stood before the door of his own clan, but he was much more reserved. His gaze swept over the environment of the Xiao clan. When he left the house back then, this place was very crowded. Right now, however, it was now very quiet. Not a single guard was standing neatly near the main door that was visible now.
What exactly is going on? Xiao Yan frowned slightly. He tilted his head and looked at Queen Medusa behind him. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked gently, "Can you promise me something?"
"No." This woman seemed to still hold a grudge for Xiao Yan's previous attitude. Hence, he cleanly rejected her once he heard her words.
"The price is the medicinal ingredients needed to refine ‘Pil Spirit Defrost’." Xiao Yan said weakly.
"You have one?" Queen Medusa's disciple immediately brightened after hearing her words.
"I've got ‘Fruit Needle Monster Tomb’." Xiao Yan had brought back quite a lot of medicinal ingredients from the small valley in the Magical Beast Mountain Range before he left back then. ‘Fruit Needle Monster Tomb’ needed to fix ‘Pil Spirit Defrost’ coincidentally is among them.
"What thing?"
"Today, you will obey me."
I can kill people. Queen Medusa only pondered for less than two seconds before nodding. In his heart, killing people was much more affordable compared to anything else.
Xiao Yan smiled, turned around and walked through the main door. However, as his steps stepped through the door, a somewhat gentle and angry voice sounded from behind the door, "Who are you? Do you think our Xiao clan is easily bullied? "
The moment he heard that voice, Xiao Yan's footsteps could not help but stop. He looked over and looked in the direction the voice sounded. Behind the main door, a gentle and beautiful little girl who was only about twelve to thirteen years old angrily looked at him with wide eyes.
"You ..." Xiao Yan's gaze slowly swept over the little girl's body. Memories from a few years ago rose from within his mind. His face became a little softer as he said gently with a smile, "I remember you being called Xiao Qing, right? Cousin Xiao Mei's sister. You really have grown so big since the last time I saw you two years ago. "
When she heard Xiao Yan easily call out her name, the little girl was clearly shocked. Her intelligent disciple first stopped at Queen Medusa's body for a moment. Even though he was still a young man, he was still shocked by the beauty of this enchanting woman whose face was covered in a veil. He was startled for a moment before his gaze stopped on Xiao Yan's face. The little girl looked at the somewhat familiar outline while she knitted her thin brows and pondered loudly.
After knitting his brows and thinking hard for a long time, Xiao Qing suddenly recalled something. His little face, which was facing Xiao Yan, flushed in an instant. Those intelligent eyes pulsed with pleasant surprise and excitement. A moment later, the little girl who could not control her excitement suddenly pounced on Xiao Yan.
"Xiao Yan biao - ge? It really is you. You're finally back! " TL: biao-ge – to call older male cousins
Xiao Yan took a step forward and caught the pouncing little girl. She smiled and rubbed Xiao Qing's hair as she said in a soft voice, "Little girl, after not seeing you for two years, you seem to be quickly chasing after your older sister. You will definitely become an extraordinary beauty in the future. "
"Biao-ge, cry cry, you're finally back. Something big has happened in the clan. Those bad guys are using us. They came to the Xiao clan every day. I heard from my mother that they wanted to seize our market. Lately, we don't even dare to leave the house. " Xiao Qing lifted her cry, her little face, which was in disarray, from Xiao Yan's chest. Her eyes were red as she cried.
Xiao Yan nodded slightly. He smiled as he patted Xiao Qing on the back and softly said, "Alright, little girl, you have nothing to fear. Leave all this trouble to the biao-ge, take me to take a look. "
"Yes yes." Xiao Qing hurriedly nodded her little head. Since Xiao Yan had helped the Xiao clan become the largest faction in Wu Tan City in a single move back then, Xiao Yan's reputation was formidable among the Xiao Qing generation. Moreover, in these two years, the Xiao clan had also gradually progressed due to the healing medicine that Xiao Yan had left behind. Therefore, this Xiao Yan biao-ge, who had left home to practice, was described as having an almost god-like supernatural power in the hearts of these little people.
Xiao Yan stood up straight and watched Xiao Qing, who was bouncing on the small road as she advanced due to her excited mood. However, his face slowly darkened. His palm patted the Heavy Xuan Ruler on his back. The dark and cold killing intent that suddenly appeared within him caused Queen Medusa to furrow her brows in shock.
Following behind Xiao Qing, Xiao Yan's footsteps gently stepped on a small path made of broken stones. The familiar surroundings that he had been absent for two years caused his childhood memories to slowly seep out of his mind.
Xiao Yan followed Xiao Qing and passed through several small paths. A rather spacious large hall gradually appeared at the edge of his vision.
"The bad guys are inside. The First Elder and the others were also inside. However, everyone is hurt. Otherwise, those people would not dare to act arrogantly. " Xiao Qing waved her small hand towards the large hall and said angrily.
"Open? Something has happened to the clan. " Xiao Yan pursed his mouth tightly. He stepped on a stone staircase and finally stopped outside the tightly shut main door. As he heard the voice inside, a cold smile slowly lifted from the corner of his mouth.
The large and spacious hall was rather dark and the atmosphere was rather gloomy. There were at least a hundred people who filled this great hall. These people were divided into two groups facing each other. They stared at each other menacingly, looking as if there was going to be a riot.
There were a few people sitting in front of the two groups. In front of the Xiao clan group, the three elders of the Xiao clan sat down. However, his third face was currently pale. From their outer appearance where they could not hide some overflowing Dou Qi from their bodies, it was clear that they had suffered quite serious internal injuries.
On the opposite side of the people of the Xiao clan, there was a group of large men with fierce looks. There were three people in the grandmaster's chair, where the group leaders were seated. One of them was obviously the clan head of the Jia Li clan, who had once turned into a battered form by Xiao Yan, Jia Li Hua!
Xiao Yan also knew others. He was Aoba Padun, the clan head of one of the three great clans who stood side by side with the Xiao clan in Wu Tan City back then, the Ao Ba clan.
The third person is an unknown person. That person was wearing an alchemist long robe. His expression was cold and firm and his age was around fifty or so. Moreover, the most interesting thing was the cauldron badge drawn on the chest of this person's long robe. There were three silver-colored ripples on the badge that moved gently as if it was a living being.
A tier three alchemist!
In Wu Tan City, which never even had an alchemist association, a tier three alchemist was someone who could cause any faction to feel great respect. This unknown third-rate alchemist was also currently the person that the three elders of the Xiao clan feared the most.
"Ha ha, the second elder must be joking. During these two years, your Xiao clan had basically earned all the money in Wu Tan City. If this continues, it seems like we will have no alternative but to leave this place. This place is where we came from. If we go, it's not easy to settle somewhere else. Ah, we also have no choice to survive. I hope you three parents can bear with us. As long as you agree to the terms we propose, our clan will not make things difficult for the Xiao clan in the future because of our past relationships. Isn't it very good for all of us to make money together. " Aoba Padun smiled as he said.
"Ten thousand gold coins for one market, are you a robber?" The third elder who was always aggressive looked at Aoba Padun with red eyes. He subconsciously slammed the table while pointing at Aoba Padun and scolded angrily.
Third brother! The first elder pulled the third elder who was about to stand up and gently shouted, "Don't mess with your priorities!"
The third elder sat down loudly. The teacup he held in his hand shattered until it exploded.
"Ke Ke, the anger of the third elder has always been so great. Anger will hurt your body. " Jia Li Hua, who was speechless suddenly laughed grimly while saying, "Unfortunately, you all have no choice in this matter today. If you sell, the place will be sold. If you do not sell, the place will also be sold! "
"Jia Li Hua, we shouldn't have mercy back then. Let you, a dog, live. " The first elder said grimly.
Sorry, there is no medicine for regret sold in this world. Jia Li Hua smiled. The dark cruelty on his face caused people to feel a chill in the heart. "Today, I, Jia Li Hua will return all the wounds that our Jia Li clan suffered two years ago."
"If you all really want to use force, our Xiao clan will also fight until we both suffer a great loss." The first elder was silent for a moment as he looked at the snake-like Jia Li Hua. He then spoke in a thick voice. Right now, he could only hope that the other party was reluctant to act forcefully and chose to delay the time.
"Ha ha, old bastard, what qualifications do you currently have to fight with us? If you have the ability, go and call Xiao Zhan? With the condition of the three of you right now, I alone can finish you all off! " Jia Li Hua coldly laughed.
The corner of the eyes of the first elder moved slightly. The first elder waved his hand, and blocked the group of angry Xiao clan members behind him. His gaze looked at Jia Li Hua in a cold and dark manner as he coldly said, "If you dare to touch our Xiao clan, then, our Xiao clan descendants will definitely make you unable to sleep or eat quietly. You can all wait for her wild revenge once she gets back. "
"His?" The corner of their eyes suddenly twitched. For some unknown reason, not only did Jia Li Hua and Aoba Padun become silent, but even the foreign alchemist hand on the side that was placed on the chair, involuntarily jumped up.
A young figure slowly appeared in everyone's minds. Two years ago, it was this young man who was only fifteen years old that sent the Jia Li clan, which day by day expanded into a deep abyss.
Two years later, the young man back then had already directly chosen the Misty Cloud Sect and had even managed to leave intact.
It was worth knowing that in the eyes of Jia Li Bi and these factions, the Misty Cloud Sect was like a god. Anyone from within the Misty Cloud Sect would be enough to sweep through all of these factions in Wu Tan City.
When they heard the rumors about the little fellow from the Xiao clan fighting against the Misty Cloud Sect for the first time, almost everyone in the entire Wu Tan City was shocked for a moment. Those factions, who were enemies of the Xiao clan, even felt a chill coming out from within their bones.
If not for the mysterious strong man with an unknown background even Jia Li Hua told him the news about Xiao Yan being secretly killed by the Misty Cloud Sect, he was not a member of the group, it was likely that Jia Li Hua would not dare to come to the Xiao clan and plunder them when they were in trouble even if he had ten guts and had found a tier three alchemist to support him. TL: Ten guts – ten times bravery?
"Hey, then you can wait. When you wait until you die, you might once again see that little bastard named Xiao Yan. " Jia Li Hua laughed coldly, planning to use this to hide her fear towards someone.
"Sister Ao, we don't need to keep delaying. Because they refuse to agree, we must take immediate action. The monopoly of the Xiao clan for these few years almost bankrupted us. We can no longer be polite. " Jia Li Hua turned her head and spoke in a grim voice to Aoba Padun.
"Ah, since you three elders have not shown any understanding of the situation you are in, don't blame me for not showing any feelings." Aoba Padun sighed regretfully. He waved his hand and the ten plus big men behind him immediately pulled the weapons from their waists with a sound of ‘tang’. They stared at the members of the Xiao clan on the opposite side with faces full of killing intent.
"Because you want to finish off all of us, then our Xiao clan will cause all of you to suffer even if we have to fight until there is one person left!" The first elder, who had been suppressing himself, suddenly smashed his hand on the table as he finally exploded. He suddenly stood up and shouted furiously.
"First elder, the Xiao clan does not have a coward who will escape! Let's fight to the death with them! " Abehind him, ten more members of the Xiao clan had faces that were flushed red with anger.
"As long as we can hold it back until the Young Clan Leader of the Xiao clan returns, we will be able to retract the grievances we have experienced today!" The first elder caught the rough air as he clenched his teeth and shouted.
Young Clan Leader. This form of address represented the approval of the elders in the clan towards the future successor of the Xiao clan. The news that had spread from the Misty Cloud Sect caused every member of the Xiao clan to feel proud of the clan member named Xiao Yan. This included the three elders who looked down on him back then.
"I'm sorry, but you might not have that chance. Back then, Xiao Yan killed my disciple. Today, I will let your Xiao clan die with him. " The silent alchemist suddenly stood up and said in a raucous voice.
The alchemist slowly raised his head as his gaze slowly swept across everyone from the Xiao clan. He said weakly, "I forgot to tell you that my disciple is Liu Xi, who had helped the Jia Li clan make healing medicine back then."
As the alchemist's words slowly fell, a powerful force that was at least a six-star, Da Dou Shi suddenly erupted from within his body. Under the pressure of this force, the first elder and the others who were already heavily injured hurriedly retreated a few steps. Their expressions were a little pale.
"Kill them! Don't let anyone live! " Jia Li Hua coldly smiled as she said in a dark and thick voice while paying attention to the furious eyes of the Xiao clan members.
"It seems heaven wants our Xiao clan to parish today." A mouthful of fresh blood spilled out from the corner of the first elder's mouth as he looked at the group of people grinning loudly as they surrounded them. His expression was filled with despair and gloom.
"Squeaking."
Just as all the members of the Xiao clan decided to fight desperately with their lives, the clear sound of the door being pushed open suddenly interrupted the slaughter that was about to erupt.
The door slowly opened and an eye-piercing sunlight followed the gap of the door as it slipped in until it finally reached the other side of the hall.
Everyone in the large hall turned their heads towards the main door. The figure of the skinny young man slowly entered from there.
"I'm sorry I came home late."
The faint apology voice of the young man appeared.
Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, the first elder was initially startled. Immediately, his tensed body completely relaxed. Two drops of turbid tears of joy moved along his old face and flowed down.
