The Battle Through Heaven
Hong Clan's

It was just like Han Chong had said. The journey after the Ten Thousand Snake Gorge was very smooth. During the remaining few days, they were met with some minor problems, but that did not cause the convoy's speed to decrease. Tian Bei City had also gotten closer during these few days of travel.

After several healings during these few days, Xiao Yan's strength had recovered by around seventy to eighty percent. The injuries he had sustained within his body had also quickly recovered under the dual effects of Dou Qi and medicinal pills. Seeing this development, it seemed like he would recover faster than he had expected.

Of course, despite the gradual recovery of his strength, Xiao Yan did not reveal any of it. He liked the men of this frank convoy, and he did not want to cause them to feel respect for him due to the revelation of his strength. He did not want them to be far from him after adding a little something else to the friendship they had made over these few days.

With Xiao Yan's current strength, it was likely that/it was even Han Xue in the convoy would have difficulty finding him if he chose to hide his aura. Moreover, due to the small Spatial Strength within his body, even some experts at the peak of the Dou Huang class or even elite Dou Zongs would have difficulty identifying his true strength if he wanted to hide it. There was no need to discuss about Han Xue's ability to do so.

Although Xiao Yan thought that/that he had hidden it perfectly, he realized that/that Han Xue's attitude towards him during this few days trip seemed to change. After he instructed Han Chong, no one asked Xiao Yan to do manual work on the convoy. Xiao Yan laughed bitterly in his heart in the face of such special treatment. Is a woman's instinct really that scary? He had absolute confidence that/that he had not exposed any traces, but Han Xue seemed to have sensed something. Occasionally a faint doubt and a deep thought would flash in his eyes as he watched Xiao Yan.

Moreover, Han Xue often appeared in front of Xiao Yan when he was free and randomly chatted with him. However, the content of the chatter secretly asked about Xiao Yan's identity and background. Of course, with the experience that Xiao Yan had gained over the years, he would naturally not give himself up in front of a girl like her. The serious and vague answer caused Han Xue to return empty-handed at all times. After continuously trying in this direction, he felt extremely angry about the feeling of having hit a pile of cotton.

Xiao Yan felt helpless in his heart in the face of this scene. He could only try his best to increase the distance between Han Xue and him to avoid actually causing this sensative woman to find something.

Han Xue was investigating and unsure during the trip. When they set up camp on the fifth day, the messenger bird with the emblem of the Han clan flew from a direction far away from Tian Bei City.

Han Xue received a message from a guard and slowly opened it. Her pretty eyes moved while her beautiful face slowly turned cold. Anger even flashed in his eyes.

The camp, who was laughing endlessly, became calmer after seeing the change in Han Xue's expression. Everyone stand up. Their gazes focused on Han Xue in the middle.

“Xiao-jie (young woman), what happened?” Han Chong asked in a deep voice.

“This is a letter that has been sent from within the clan. The letter mentioned that/that the Hong clan plans to attack the Han clan immediately and they asked me to be careful.” Han Xue clenched her hands slightly as she spoke in a cold voice.

“Hong clan? Shit, that's this asshole again.” Bullshit curse sounded from around when they heard the words ‘Hong clan.’

“What will they do this time?” Han Chong frowned and asked.

Han Xue's eyelashes flickered slightly. He immediately spoke in a weak voice, “That old man, who will not die from the Hong clan, is thinking of getting older sister and me to marry Hong Chen together. However, his main motive was to engulf our Han clan and become the true master of Tian Bei City. ”

The expressions of a number of people in the convoy grew darker after hearing this. Clearly, the conditions that the Hong clan had put out caused them to be extremely angry.

“Sialang. Does this Hong clan really think that/that our Han clan can be manipulated by others as they please? They actually dare to make such a bastard request.” Han Chong said furiously.

Han Xue's pretty face was still as cold as the face of Han Chong's angry voice. His head slightly shifted and suddenly stopped at the young man sitting on the side of the fire. However, he did not seem to have heard any words from this side. He simply lowered his head and toyed with the pile of flames. Seeing this, Han Xue's brows gathered together. He turned his gaze to the side and coldly said, “We will enter the Tian Bei City area tomorrow. Everyone should be extra careful.”

“Understanding!”

Everyone was screaming in unity.

Han Xue nodded her head. He snorted softly at an unknown person and walked into his own tent.

The people in the camp finally returned to the side of the fire after Han Xue's beautiful figure disappeared. Their faces alternated between being light and dark under the light of fire. That so-called Hong clan seemed to be a greater threat than the demonic snake Xia Mang.

“Sister Han, is the Hong clan very strong?”

The calm atmosphere continued for a long time before Xiao Yan, who had focused on fire maintenance, stood up, stretched his lazy waist, and asked a question.

“If we really talk about it, the Hong clan is the strongest clan in Tian Bei city. Even our Han clan is a little inferior. The most important reason was that the/it Hong clan had little connection with the Wind Lightning Pavilion. The most outstanding person of this generation, Hong Chen, was someone from the Wind Lightning Pavilion and was highly respected within it. ” Han Chong sighed before speaking with a bitter smile, “Klan Hong has relied on this huge tree to expand his reputation and influence in a few short years. After all, the Wind Lightning Pavilion could be considered a top-tier faction in the entire northern region of the Central Plains. Our Han clan is too low when compared to that. ”

“Pavilion Wind Lightning?” Surprise flashed across Xiao Yan's eyes when he heard this familiar name again. The problems of this world were completely filled with coincidences.

“So what if it is the Wind Lightning Pavilion? Damn, if that Hong clan really dares to act, the old me will kill some of them before I die even if I cannot defeat them.” A young guard beside the fire spoke with a face full of anger.

Han Chong did not take the angry words of these young people into his heart. He patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and said, “Brother Xiao Yan, it looks like the Han clan will face some unrest. I'll ask xiao-jie (young lady) to give you money after reaching Tian Bei City. You should go with yourself and avoid getting involved. ”

Xiao Yan smiled, but remained uncommitted.

“Alright, everyone should rest early. Increase the number of guards tonight. Everyone better keep their eyes open tomorrow. We need to be safe after we get back to klan.” Han Chong sighed, stood up, and waved his hand. After which, he turned around and left, leaving everyone else to curse the fire with an angry heart.

Xiao Yan flicked his finger gently while staring at the somewhat tired back. The wooden stick in his hand flew into the fire. After that, it became like an arrow that shot deep underground …

Xiao Yan clapped his hands and stood up. He greeted everyone before slowly returning to his tent. After putting it in, he once again sighed softly and muttered to himself.

“Ugh ... something like help really weighs you ..”

…

The sun hangs high in the sky where clouds do not exist for thousands of kilometers. Many rays of light carry a high temperature when they are repeatedly scattered down. Under this hot weather, even the trees on the side of the road started to bend in a sickly manner.

A convoy was walking over a wide road, lifting up dust that soared into the sky along the way.

“Everything, more focus. We will enter the territory of Tian Bei City soon!”

A loud cry suddenly shot out from within the convoy. Everyone's hearts are tight. They raised their heads and looked at the stone board at the end of the road. All of their hands involuntarily touched the weapon on their backs. The hands, which they used to be in control, also let out some sweat.

The convoy ran forward like an angry wild bull and flew down the road with a rumbling sound. Within minutes, they approached the stone tablet used as a road sign.

Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!

The convoy had just passed a stone tablet when the sharp sound of a rushing wind suddenly rumbled over the place. Immediately, a countless number of arrows shot out from the trees on both sides of the road, covering the entire convoy as they did so.

The sudden arrival of the surpnaik arrow was quite a lot of people. Fortunately, they are ready. Many Dou Qis erupted and blocked all the arrows.

“Ke ke, it looks like they are ready, but unfortunately ..”

Laughter slowly came out of the forest. Immediately a large number of black figures swiftly stormed out and completely blocked the path that led to Tian Bei City. The two elders in front of the group of black figures were the ones that Han Chong and the others were most worried about.

Both men were wearing pale red robes. There was a similar red badge on the chest area of their clothes.

“People from clan Hong.”

Han Chong's group shrunk their eyes as they looked at the red-colored badge.

“Ke to, Miss Han Xue, please come out. We two old men came because of you ..” Both old men ignored Han Chong and the other guards. Instead, their eyes stared at the carriage where Han Xue was as they laughed faintly.

“Rattling...”

The carriage door slowly opened and a beautiful, cold-faced Han Xue slowly descended from it. His cold gaze looked at these two old men as he coldly laughed, “ It was unexpected that/that two Elders Hong Mu and Hong Lie came just to catch a little girl like me. I'm really honored.”

Although he spoke in this manner, Han Xue's heart slowly sank. The two Elders of the Hong clan possessed strength around that of a four star Dou Huang. They were even stronger than Xia Mang. Now that these two people had acted together .. it seemed like he would have a hard time escaping the calamity today.

“No need to say this nonsense. The old me just followed orders. You should go with us!” Hong Lie expressionlessly glanced at Han Xue as he spoke.

“Dream!”

A cold glint flashed in Han Xue's eyes. He tightened his hand and a longsword appeared and appeared within it.

“Si stupid stubborn.”

Hong Lie shook his head when he saw Han Xue refuse. Impatience flashed through his eyes. He stepped forward and appeared in front of him. With a wave of his hand, a hot, strong wind that carried a suppressing aura blocked all of Han Xue's retreating paths.

Tilt appeared on Han Xue's face as he looked at Hong Lie, who had used all of his strength from the start. He immediately clenched his silver teeth and threw the palm forward.

“Bang!”

The two palms made contact and the wind seeping out immediately startled the surrounding people until they hurriedly stepped back. Han Xue's beautiful body was like a kite whose rope was broken as she hurriedly took a dozen unstable steps back before stabilizing her body.

“You can be considered to have the ability to receive one palm from the old me. No wonder you caught the eyes of young master.” Hong Lie's body did not move. He glanced at Han Xue who had returned. He nonchalantly spoke. Immediately, he stepped forward once more and appeared in front of Han Xue. The wind in his palm whistled as he continued to attack.

A tragic sorrowful look appeared on Han Xue's face as she sensed an even more ferocious Hongie attack. He basically did not have much capital to fight against an elite Dou Huang …

The wind of the palm suddenly came. However, right before landing on Han Xue's body, an invisible force suddenly appeared. With a bang, it easily overcame the wind of Hong Lie's palm. The remaining strength also shook him until he took a few repeated steps back.

The sudden unexpected change caused everyone to feel astonished. Han Xue suddenly turned her head away after being shocked. Her pretty eyes locked onto the carriage that Xiao Yan was in.

“Ugh, oppressing younger people just because you're old, but you're actually acting right. You are completely trained until you have thick skin at your age ..”

A helpless voice also slowly sounded as everyone was stunned. However, this time, his voice was clear and powerful. It was no longer the old tone from last time…

Chapter 953: Intervention

The sudden unexpected event caused the situation to immediately change slightly. The eyes of Hong Mu and Hong Lie carefully swept over them. They immediately spoke in a deep voice, “Friends, this is a matter between the Hong clan and the Han clan. Please give this Hong clan of ours!”

Han Chong's group also hurriedly looked in all directions while Hong Lie's group gazes swept around. At this moment, they have sensed that/it is something is not right. If they meet a helper, the first time something happens, they can be likened to their luck. However, they were actually able to meet the maid at a critical moment for the second time. This ... is a bit unreasonable.

Han Xue acted differently from Han Chong's shock group. Her pretty eyes were staring at the carriage. Being a woman, she is very meticulous over some small things. He was certain that/it's voice from earlier was very similar to Xiao Yan's voice.

“Rattling...”

While the people from both sides were muttering in their hearts, a soft creaking sound was heard. Everyone's gazes randomly looked up, only to see a linen-clothed young man, slowly descending from the carriage.

“Xiao Yan?”

Han Chong's group was stunned when they saw Xiao Yan reveal himself. They immediately understood. Surprise and disbelief quickly surged into their eyes.

Xiao Yan spread his hand to everyone before sighing helplessly. He slowly stepped forward and stopped beside Han Xue. She looked at him with a sharp gaze, pretty eyes before involuntarily revealing a bitter smile as she asked, “Are you okay?”

“True you!”

Han Xue's pretty eyes did not blink as they stared at Xiao Yan. A moment later, an oddity suddenly appeared on her beautiful face as she said each word gently with a pause between them.

“The instinct of a woman is really scary ..” Xiao Yan helplessly replied.

“To be able to come back to life and kick in a few days time after suffering such serious injuries is not something an ordinary person can do.” Han Xue softly laughed.

“Xiao ... brother Xiao .. you .. you are the mysterious strong man?”

Han Chong by the side gradually widened his eyes when he heard the conversation between Xiao Yan and Han Xue. Finally, he asked with a stutter. He had never expected that/that mysterious expert, whom they had talked about so often for these few days, was actually on their side.

Xiao Yan could only nod his head as he looked at the shock in everyone's eyes. He immediately waved his hand and said, “We will talk about it after resolving the issue here.”

Everyone nodded when they heard his words. After which, their gazes turned to Hong Lie's group. At this moment, however, there was no longer the previous type of expression that was not afraid of death. Instead, they gradually had a bit of courage. After Xiao Yan intervened last time, they already had some rough understanding of Xiao Yan's strength.

“Who are you? You seem unfamiliar. I think this is the first time you have arrived in Tian Bei City, right?” Hong Mu stopped Hong Lie, whose face was already covered with a ferocious aura. His eyes focused on Xiao Yan as he spoke in a deep voice.

“Bring your troops. I'll protect the people here for a while.” Xiao Yan's gaze swept over Hong Mu. His voice was still calm and helpless.

“Do you really want to offend my Hong clan?” Hong Mu's face twitched slightly when he heard this. His voice had an additional thread of coldness to it.

“At least, the two of you do not have the qualifications to catch someone in front of me.” Xiao Yan smiled as he replied. His tone of voice had pride that was hard to extinguish. This pride came from the trust he had in his strength.

“What a proud boy. If you don't have the advantage of a sneak attack, how can you force the old me? Besides, there are two of us here!” Xiao Yan's attitude caused the anger in Hong Lie's heart to immediately rise. He finally laughed in his extreme anger.

“Leave me ..”

Xiao Yan shook his head. He ignored these two noisy people, turned his head away, and softly said to Han Xue.

Han Xue suddenly felt a sense of bravery and insecurity emerging from her heart as she stared at the skinny back of the person wearing ordinary linen clothes. He immediately clenched his silver teeth, waved his hand, and gently shouted, “Follow!”

The convoy slowly moved. After which, it continued to be followed behind Xiao Yan under some sort of strange atmosphere. The people around the convoy and Han Xue felt some faint sweat appear on their palms. Right now, the only one who could be relied on was to be skinny back in front of them …

Hong Mu's face was gloomy as he looked at Xiao Yan and the convoy behind him slowly walking over. His heart had a faint killing intent revolving within it. He had some difficulty clearly seeing Xiao Yan's exact strength. However, from the way he forced Hong Lie earlier, it was likely that/that he was an expert Dou Huang. Moreover, the level of this person was not weaker than their level

Compared to the grim Hong Mu, the somewhat irritated Hong Lie had an extremely ugly expression. Xiao Yan's actions were basically completely condescending to them. It was truly the first time they had met such an arrogant young person for so many years.

Hong Lie's fist slowly tightened. A creaking sound was repeatedly emitted from it. A moment later, turmoil finally flashed in his eyes as he shouted, “Kill!”

After hearing the shout from Hong Lie, many black figures from behind angrily shouted. They tightened their grip on their weapons as they carried a dense killing aura that could not be dissolved. They attacked the convoy.

Han Chong's group's expression changed slightly after seeing the opponent launch an attack. They tightened their arms. When they were ready to charge forward and meet the other party, Xiao Yan in front stopped his steps. He stretched out his hand and gently clenched it!

An invisible ripple quickly spread as he clenched his hand. Immediately, many black figures, who were charging with killing intent all over their bodies, suddenly stopped. Their bodies turned red almost instantly. A moment later, they spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and strangely fell down like cut wheat …

The fresh blood they spouted out emitted a sound of ‘chi chi’ upon landing on the ground. They quickly turned into green steam that was completely dispersed …

A faint shock was revealed in Han Chong's group's eyes when they saw this scene. They recalled the countless poisonous snakes that had suddenly turned into ashes in the abyss back then. From the looks of it, Xiao Yan restrained himself. Otherwise, it seemed like these people would share the same fate as the poisonous snake …

“Attacking!”

Hong Mu's eyes also shrank. He remembered the instructions from the clan head to capture Han Xue alive by all means. He immediately inhaled a deep breath and suddenly let out a loud cry!

The shout had just left his mouth when Hong Mu moved in with him. They turned into two red numbers. Powerful Dou Qi surged from their bodies without any restraint. Wherever they passed by, a wild and violent Dou Qi would leave two deep trenches on the ground.

Two Dou Huang auras came pressing down like a storm, causing Han Xue and the others to feel the illusion that/it was their breathing stopping. However, the traces of the young robed man did not stop in front of them.

“Misterious Flame Move!”

“Wood Aura Ride!”

Two cries erupted from the mouths of Hong Lie and Hong Mu. Immediately, a red-hot light swept out like a flame. Behind him was a green-colored Dou Qi, which was rapidly catching up and merging into the flames. Immediately, the fiery red Dou Qi's momentum surged. The hot temperature caused the withered yellow leaves on the side of the road to let out a ‘chi’ sound like they were lit by themselves.

“Not a bad Dou Qi merger. However, fire is of no use to me ..”

Xiao Yan's footsteps finally stopped as he looked at the furious dragon like hot flames coming towards him. He stretched out his hand and the jade green flame suddenly shot out like a fire python.

“Chi!”

Both attacks collided with ‘bang.’ However, that enormous hot flame seemed to have encountered a thunderstorm. His speed became sluggish while the green-tooth flame, which was not even as thick as an arm, completely swallowed it in one gulp after twisting a few times …

Xiao Yan waved his sleeve after swallowing Hong Mu and Hong Lie's combined attack in a very relaxed manner. That green jade flame turned into lightning that shot out. Immediately, the flame tail swung, forming many shadows after hitting the chests of the two, who could not dodge in time.

“Bang! Bang!” A low and deep voice emanated as the two figures flew backwards.

Hong Chong's group exuded an exclamation as they looked at Hong Lie and Hong Mu who were quickly moving backwards with their feet rubbing the ground. An unusual color also flashed over Han Xue's beautiful eyes. In the Han clan, his talent was only slightly weaker than his elder sister's. However, if he was compared to Xiao Yan in front of him, there were simply too many gaps. His age looked similar to his but even Hong Lie and Hong Mu, the two Elders from the Hong clan who had quite a strong reputation within Tian Bei City were actually defeated miserably … such talent and achievements were unlikely to lose even Hong Chen from the Hong clan …

“This guy is too strong, back off!”

Hong Lie and Hong Mu, whose feet were deeply rooted in the ground, managed to stabilize their bodies with much difficulty. The looks on their faces. The young man in front of them looked quite young, but his strength far exceeded theirs. It was completely futile to continue living in this place. At that moment, Hong Mu decisively let out a low cry.

Aversion flashed across Hong Lie's face when he heard Hong Mu's cry. All he could do was nod his head. Dou Qi wings appeared on their backs and they immediately turned into two faint figures that flew in an attempt to escape for their lives.

“Because you have attacked, it is only natural that you cannot be allowed to leave so easily ..”

Xiao Yan shook his head as he watched the two people retreat quickly. A group of invisible flames suddenly appeared in front of him, and ripples quickly spread out.

“Grug!”

An invisible ripple was caught by the two people who were fleeing in a lightning-like manner. Immediately, the bodies of the two suddenly stopped. Fresh full of fresh blood came out from each of them. Before they had time to escape, a figure appeared behind them in a ghost-like manner. With a flick of the figure's finger, the wind blew and the second scene suddenly turned black.

This change happens within seconds. Han Xue and the others only felt that/it was a scene before their eyes as blurry. By the time they recovered a moment later, two numbers were thrown down. They landed under their feet like corpses. A faint voice immediately sounded.

“I'll let you deal with them ..”

Han Xue looked down and saw the pale-faced faces of Hong Mu and Hong Lie. He did not know if they were alive or dead. As he looked, he involuntarily inhaled a deep breath in spite of his cold and indifferent character …

It instantly captured two four star Dou Huangs in less than ten short exchanges. Even in his Han clan, it would be difficult to find many people with such strength …

Chapter 954: Tian Bei City

A sweet smell appeared inside the car. Several optional decorations adorn it, giving a female touch to this carriage. It was hard to imagine that/that Han Xue, who looked cold and indifferent on the outside, would actually have the mentality of a little woman in her heart …

Xiao Yan was a little agitated as he sat on the seat on the carriage. On the opposite side was Han Xue, who took a teacup and filled it with tea. After which, he gently pushed her in front of Xiao Yan in a somewhat uneventful manner. From the looks of it, this young lady from the Han clan rarely did the job of waiting for others.

However, it was also because of this that/it Xiao Yan felt uneasy. Having already gotten used to Han Xue's cold indifference, he couldn't really adapt to her suddenly becoming so warm in such a short period of time.

Xiao Yan held onto the teacup and felt a faint warmth and residual aroma. She raised her eyes slightly and coincidentally collided with her pretty eyes. At that moment, he subconsciously laughed out loud and said, “Young Miss Han, please say what you want to say.”

“Call me Han Xue. I'm really not worthy of this ‘young woman’.” Han Xue also slowly sat down. He glanced at Xiao Yan and softly said, “It was unexpected that/that person who was on the verge of death, that/that we randomly picked up in the desert, was, will really be an expert who hides very well. Regardless of the case, Han Yue will thank you here for saving us twice on this journey. ”

“Nothing, if not for your help, it seems like I might have become food for a wolf. Lending a hand and saving you all is something I have to do. Young la ... no need to worry about this. important. I'm not getting any rewards from you. ” Xiao Yan waved his hand and laughed.

Han Xue curled her mouth at the smile. His usual cold face also bloomed into a warm, moving smile. After some hesitation, he slowly asked, “Are you going to leave once we arrive at Tian Bei City?”

“It should have happened if no accident happened.” Xiao Yan paused for a moment before nodding and replying.

Disappointment flashed in Han Xue's pretty eyes when she heard this. His hand touched the tea pot. A moment later, he summoned his courage and said, “Master Xiao Yan, can I ask you to help me with something?”

“A problem between Han clan and Hong clan?” Xiao Yan placed the teacup in his hand and asked in a calm voice.

Han Xue bit her lower red lips with her back teeth and nodded gently.

“You really overestimated me. For the Hong clan to be able to dominate Tian Bei City for so many years, its strength was definitely not weak. What help can I give with my own strength?” Xiao Yan slowly said. Having just arrived at the Central Plains, he really did not want to offend someone as he stuck his foot in this place. This was especially the case when this Hong clan had ties to the Shelter Wind Pavilion. Xiao Yan knew that/it was this faction that was specially introduced by Xin Lan was likely very powerful. With his current strength, it might be difficult for him to compete with them.

“Master Xiao Yan should also be an alchemist, right?” Han Xue spoke somewhat anxiously. “In addition, your level will probably be quite high. Even the Hong clan would likely not easily offend a high-level alchemist. Therefore, if you are willing to lend a hand, the Han clan will definitely be much more relaxed.”

Xiao Yan raised his eyes slightly. He looked at the pleading gaze and anxiety on Han Xue's face and involuntarily laughed out loud. This problem really made him dizzy.

“Master Xiao Yan, as long as you are willing to help the Han clan through this predicament, the Han clan will definitely give you a satisfying gift. If ... if you really think that/it won't do it, I'm willing to be your concubine Please hold hands! ” A bright redness suddenly appeared on Han Xue's pretty face as she clenched her silver teeth and spoke.

“ Cough ..” These words belonged to him almost caused Xiao Yan to spit tea in his mouth. He hurriedly stood up, waved his hand, and said, “No. I've gotten used to being alone and won't get used to it if someone follows next to me. I'll think about this. Let's just leave it like it's for now. Goodby. ”

Xiao Yan hurriedly turned around, pulled open the carriage door, and fled after saying these words. He had not expected that/it was this ice-cold Han Xue would be so brave in such a matter. He even dared to the point where he was unable to hold on.

Han Xue was startled as she saw Xiao Yan run away from the carriage in a pitiful manner. A moment later, he smiled. Ever since he met her, he had never seen such a selfless young man act this way. It was unexpected that/that she actually had such a reaction because of her words. That's very interesting.

“This guy is not bad .. but I can say that/that he is the type who does not like problems. Ugh, moreover, the strength of the Hong clan was enormous. Interestingly it might be a problem for him. I'm a little rash .. ”

Han Xie laughed softly before slowly calming down. He sighed and spoke in a distant voice.

After Xiao Yan exposed his strength, the people in the convoy gave him additional respect as he expected. Something like an uncontrollable joke from a few days before no longer happened. Although Xiao Yan had long expected this, he still involuntarily laughed in his heart. His strength was truly incredible that it could not be reached in the eyes of these people …

This kind of change caused Xiao Yan to feel a little uneasy. However, it was fortunate that/it was only a short trip left. The outline of the great city faintly appeared in their eyes as night approached.

Han Chong also heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the city, seemingly having released a heavy burden. Seeing their reactions, Xiao Yan also understood that/it is what Tian Bei City is called …

Xiao Yan's gaze swept out randomly before taking two steps back. It just so happened that he stopped beside Han Chong, who hurriedly cupped his hands together when he saw Xiao Yan approaching only to feel a gentle force blocking him. A helpless voice was immediately transmitted to his ear, “Sister Han, there is no need to be polite. My life was saved by you. Don't call me master of anything. Just call me like you did in the past.”

“Miste ... Big brother Xiao Yan, you are too polite. With your current strength, it looks like you will be fine even without our help.” Han Chong hesitated for a bit before he spoke with a smile. However, his voice still contained admiration that was hard to hide.

Xiao Yan felt helpless. He flicked his finger and the medicinal pill landed in Han Chong's hands without leaving a trace. He gently said in a random voice, “Save the medicinal pill properly. It can help you increase your chances of success breaking through the Dou Wang class.”

Han Chong's body suddenly trembled upon hearing this. Spirit appeared in his eyes. He had remained at the peak of the Dou Ling class for many years, but had yet to show any signs of breaking through. He knows that/it's some high-pill medicine has unique properties of aiding in breaking through. However, the price of that type of medicinal pill was much higher. How could he pay for it with his wealth?

“Brother ... brother Xiao Yan, this gift is too precious ..” Han Chong spoke in a trembling voice. His eyes became somewhat red due to his excitement.

“Is this more valuable than my life?” Xiao Yan smiled and teased.

“Sister Xiao Yan, you ... are you planning to go?” Han Chong carefully stored the medicinal pill before suddenly asking.

Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, feeling somewhat unsure of how he should answer.

“Ke ke, brother Xiao Yan. Nothing is hard to say. You don't have much connection with the Han clan. However, you have saved us twice throughout this journey. Even if you want to return the favor, you should've done more than enough. The Hong Clan is very strong. It would not be good if you were dragged in. “Han Chong smiled and spoke as he saw his reaction.

Xiao Yan was silent.

Da! Da!

The sound of horse hooves was transmitted from the city gate in the distance while Xiao Yan was chatting with Han Chong. Run towards them immediately.

Han Chong's group, who had previously been frightened before, immediately tightened the grip of the weapons in their hands upon seeing this activity. A moment later, a sharp-eyed man happily said, “This is our people.”

The sound of horseback quickly stopped in front of the convoy. Soon, a figure jumped from the horse. This person looked to be around twenty-three to twenty-four years old. She was dressed in nice clothes and looked very energetic. His face was also a little handsome. His tall body gave him an impressive appearance. However, Han Chong's group knitted their brows slightly when they saw him.

Han Xue also walked out of her carriage when the sound of horseback appeared. Her pretty eyes stopped on Xiao Yan first, but she did not seem to sense them. He only bothered to chat with Han Chong. Seeing this, he could only reluctantly clench his teeth, turn his head, and look at the man, who had descended from the horse. His eyebrows are a little knit.

“Xue may, are you okay?” Excitement surged into the man's eyes when he saw Han Xue. He quickly walked forward and asked attentively. TL: may –sister, could use familiar way to call younger female relatives.

“I'm fine.” Xue Mei answered randomly. The corner of his eyes suddenly glanced at Xiao Yan who was slowly stepping back. He quickly turned around and shouted loudly, “Stand in your place!”

Xiao Yan could only stop his body when he saw Han Xue look up and desperately stretch his hands to Han Chong.

Han Xue's pretty eyes looked at Xiao Yan. A moment later, he seemed to have thought of something. His eyes dimmed and he softly said, “I have acted deliberately. If mister Xiao Yan really wants to leave, please do. Thank you for your care during this journey. Hopefully we will have an affinity to meet again in the future.”

Xiao Yan laughed bitterly after he said such words. If he turned around and left after he said those words, it seemed like others would look at him with disdain.

“Ugh, I will stay behind and take a look, but you should not put too much hope in me..” Xiao Yan sighed as he replied.

“Very?”

Said Han Xue. His dim eyes that caused one to feel his heart being crushed immediately emitted a moving expression after hearing this.

Xiao Yan could only nod when he saw the beautiful face that appeared dazzling due to his happiness. His heart once again laughed bitterly. Something like help ... is really as heavy as a mountain …

“Xue May, who is this? He seems very unknown. Is he also the guardian of our Han clan?” The handsome man at the side naturally felt jealousy surging out of his heart when he saw the usually cold and indifferent Han Xue reveal such a girl-like mannerism in front of this ordinary young man. Immediately, he randomly smiled and asked. His tone contained a tremendous disdain towards the guards, who had a servant-like status.

“Han Lin, you better be more polite to my guests. He is not a guard, but a guest of honor that I invited on behalf of the Han clan. If you keep randomly saying nonsense, don't blame me for turning against you! ” Han Xue suddenly turned her body. Her pretty face seemed to have completely turned into a cold one as she coldly denounced.

Han Lin's face alternated between green and white after being reprimanded by Han Xue like that. He was immediately unable to control himself as he coldly laughed, “Honor Guest? Xue Mei, I think that/that you have made a mistake, no? According to the rules of our clan, the first rule of the Guest of Honor is that/it must possess the Dou Huang Strength. Even though you are the daughter of the clan head, you cannot ignore the rules of the clan, right? ”
