Chapter 857: Probe
The forest shrouded by a strange atmosphere suddenly stiffened. And the reason why the atmosphere stiffened was because of the ten plus shadow faced figures that appeared behind everyone. They slowly walked out and the vicious aura that leaked out of their body made them realize that these people were savage characters willing to go to their death for money.
The large group of people who had been following behind Old Ying Shan slowed their footsteps and came to a stop in the face of these ten plus human figures who had suddenly appeared. Their gazes immediately contained various emotions as they looked at the back of these ten plus people. In this kind of strange atmosphere, the little rational thought that remained in these people, after being seared by greed, would be completely incinerated should someone spur them on.
These ten plus shadowy-faced human figures appeared to be a small group. However, the strength of this group was not weak. The leader, a man with somewhat pale-white hair, was clearly an expert Dou Wang. The remaining people were also not ordinary people. Although one's eyes must brighten in a chaotic place like the 'Black-Corner Region', everything, including their lives, could be tossed aside in the face of the temptation of absolute profit. This was the source that caused the 'Black-Corner Region' to be so chaotic.
Hence, despite many people knowing that the old man whom they were following was a genuine elite Dou Zong, the greed in their hearts still drove them to trail him. Some of the bolder people had already failed to endure the grilling of the greed in their hearts. They took the lead to act.
These ten plus men with fierce auras around them were people belonging to this group. Being newcomers who had only fought in the 'Black-Corner Region' for a couple of years, they did not possess deep knowledge of the matters regarding Old Ying Shan. Someone who belonged to the old-fashioned older generation. The only thing that they currently knew was that if they were able to snatch the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva from Old Ying Shan's hand, they would have the chance to become the peak experts in the world. At that time, forget about a mere 'Black-Corner Region', it was likely that the entire Dou Qi continent would shake because of them.
Although these ten plus people were exceptionally greedy, they clearly did possess some ability. The bodies of the group shook when they left the big crowd of people. They strangely merged into the shadows within the forest, quietly forming a formation as they surrounded Old Ying Shan.
Quite a number of factions within the mountain forest immediately paused. Their gazes were filled with pity as they looked at the shadows of the forest. A group of small clowns who were jumping off a plank. They really did not know just how to write the word 'death'. A treasure might be good but that was only if one had the life to grab it…
The ten plus human figures swiftly borrowed the dark environment and appeared around Old Ying Shan in front of the many gazes both under the sunlight and in the shadows. A hand signal was quietly extended and the ten plus human figures suddenly rushed forward. They did not reveal the slightest noise, but the sharp weapons in their hands held a cold glint. They carried a dense killing intent that transformed into glowing blades that shot toward every single fatal spot of Old Ying Shan.
"Chi!"
The blade glow fell from the sky and immediately passed through Old Ying Shan's body in a strange and illusionary manner. After which, that ten plus human figures quietly landed on the ground with stiffened bodies.
Old Ying Shan paused for a moment because of this. Immediately, he lifted his feet and slowly walked toward the mountain forest without even turning his head around. The ten plus human figures strangely collapsed when his feet stepped forward. Life had swiftly disappeared from their eyes.
The ten plus people who were quite strong had died in an unclear manner within the blink of an eye. The large group of people behind emitted sounds of them inhaling a cold breath. Now that they possessed a clear understanding of the frightening strength of this Old Ying Shan, an unusual pressuring and depressing manner covered this entire mountain forest.
"Chi!"
The sounds of a twig cracking suddenly rang out within the forest and broke this stiff atmosphere. Immediately, a countless number of gazes once again shot toward the old back who was slowly walking forward. A crazy greed slowly surfaced deep within their eyes.
"Chi!"
Waves of sharp rushing wind suddenly erupted from the mountain forest as greed surged. One could see a countless number of arrows that contained a shocking force being shot over in all directions from shadowed corners!
The dense arrows shot out like rain droplets. However, when they were still over ten feet from Old Ying Shan, all of the arrows stilled. They were driven by an unusual force as they slowly turned. All of them were shot back in the same manner amid the 'Xiu Xiu' sound that came from all directions. In an instant, miserable cries howled within this mountain forest.
"Kill him!"
"I will be able to obtain the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva once I kill him!"
"With the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva, I will be able to find the Bodhisattva Heart. At that time, I will become elite Dou Sheng. This 'Black-Corner Region' will belong to me!"
The miserable sharp howls did not cause the human crowd, whose rational thought had been overcome by greed, to withdraw even a little. Instead, the fresh bright-red blood stirred the ferocity in the hearts of many people. Numerous roars of fury immediately sounded. The mountain forest had turned into a complete chaos. A countless number of people grasped their weapons as they wildly charged toward Old Ying Shan. Their bright-red eyes appeared just like a wild beast that had lost its reasoning.
Old Ying Shan did not display the slightest panic in the face of this attack by a mob. A shocking Dou Qi pillar shot out as he raised his hand. Anyone who was struck by this Dou Qi pillar would immediately spit out blood and lose their lives unless one was an expert at the Dou Huang class. An elite Dou Zong was actually this strong!
Xiao Yan's gaze was indifferent as he looked down at the chaotic situation that had erupted in the mountain forest below from the top of a hill. This kind of situation was not at all interesting since it was a one-sided massacre. Some of the factions who had some strength did not attack at this moment. Those that acted were mostly some roaming worriers. These kinds of people were no different from ants in Old Ying Shan's hands. The only thing different was whether it was a single ant or a group of ants…
Xiao Yan's gaze did not shift away because of the bloodiness that permeated the air. From the start until the end, his gaze was firmly locked onto Old Ying Shan's body. Although he did not know the reason, his heart faintly felt that there was something not quite right…
"This Old Ying Shan really has a good temper. Isn't he tired from this killing?" Xiao Li studied the forest dyed red by the fresh blood before he involuntarily frowned and questioned.
Xiao Yan also knit his brows when he heard Xiao Li's words. The Old Ying Shan today was indeed acting a little too strangely. However, it was clear that his aura was the same as the one he had seen at the auction back then. In other words, the Old Ying Shan below was not some replacement that he had specifically sought.
"Something is not quite right. If one carefully senses his aura, it seems to lack the purity of an elite Dou Zong…" The Little Fairy Doctor hesitated for a moment before she suddenly gave her input.
Xiao Yan was initially startled when he heard this before his expression immediately changed. The Spiritual Perception strength within his body spread out like floodwater from between his brows without holding back. Within a short instant, it completely wrapped around the entire mountain forest.
Everything in front of Xiao Yan's eyes had changed after being wrapped by his Spiritual Perception. Everyone's appearance after the great transformation was no longer the shape of a human body. Instead, every single human body was filled with different colored energy. Some of these energies were as hot as fire or as cold as ice. It was the method in which the Dou Qi in these people's bodies displayed itself.
With the help from the scanning by his Spiritual Perception, Xiao Yan also discovered some traces of the experts hidden around him. Coincidentally, the group from the Demon Flame Valley had also been discovered by him. However, before he could carefully investigate, a cold snort suddenly sounded from within the Demon Flame Valley's group. A cold, powerful spiritual ripple suddenly spread out and violently collided with Xiao Yan's Spiritual Perception.
"Bang!"
An invisible spiritual ripple spread from the collision, carrying a wave of invisible wind as it did so.
Xiao Yan suddenly emitted a muffled groan on the hilltop. Immediately, his eyes turned cold as he looked at a hidden spot not far away. That place was where the people from the Demon Flame Valley were hiding. The frigid snort as well as the chilly spiritual ripple should have originated from that mysterious gray-robed person.
"What is it?" The Little Fairy Doctor and the others by his side hurriedly asked when they heard Xiao Yan muffled groan.
"I'm fine." Xiao Yan waved his hand. His gaze once again turned to the mountain forest below. At this moment, his Spiritual Perception had gathered on Old Ying Shan.
Xiao Yan's Spiritual Perception was firmly locked onto Old Ying Shan. Perhaps it was because his Spiritual Perception was isolated by the energy from the gray robe, but he could only sense a dusky existence when his Spiritual Perception scanned the area. Even Xiao Yan was unable to sense just what was hidden within that dusky existence.
This situation caused Xiao Yan to frown. He immediately clenched his teeth and his Spiritual Perception intensity suddenly soared!
Following the intense surging of the Spiritual Strength within Xiao Yan's body, a piercing pain began to be transmitted from his head. However, Xiao Yan did not pause because of this. His Spiritual Perception was just like an awl that wildly drilled into the layer of energy that was wrapped around Old Ying Shan's body.
This drilling action continued for around two minutes. Just when Xiao Yan was unable to endure the piercing pain in his head and was about to give up, he heard a slight 'chi chi' sound. The Spiritual Strength that had been blocked suddenly rushed in and immediately broke the layer of invisible energy wrapped around Old Ying Shan's body.
Xiao Yan's Spiritual Perception swiftly swept across Old Ying Shan after that invisible energy had been broken. His expression suddenly became gloomy.
"This old fellow… is indeed crafty!"
Chapter 858: Spiritual Avatar
Under the probing of Xiao Yan's Spiritual Perception, he could see that under the gray robe, there was the absence of the raging Dou Qi that formed like the others. Instead, it was covered by an illusory aura. This kind of aura was not foreign to Xiao Yan because it was Spiritual Strength!
In other words, the Old Ying Shan in the mountain forest below was not his actual body. Instead, it was an avatar agglomerated from his soul!
"No wonder this old fellow would leave the city in such a high profile manner. It was actually a fake spiritual body. Now, the actual Old Ying Shan might have long since taken the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva and left the Black Emperor City." This thought rushed through Xiao Yan's heart in a lightning-like manner. His expression gradually turned dark and solemn. Everyone here seemed to have been played by this old fellow.
Although Xiao Yan did not know how Old Ying Shan was actually able to use his spirit to form such a powerful fake body, a fake was ultimately a fake. Under the probing of Xiao Yan's Spiritual Perception, the latter had already been completely exposed to Xiao Yan's eyes. However… it was a little too late now. With that old fellow's speed, this short while gave him enough time to flee to a remote mountain forest in the 'Black-Corner Region'. Given Old Ying Shan's strength, if he were to hide his aura, it was likely that even an elite Dou Zun would not be able to find him in the vast mountains.
"What is it? What have you discovered?" Xiao Yan's gloomy expression was swiftly sensed by Su Qian, the Little Fairy Doctor, and the others beside him. All of them immediately asked in a soft surprised whisper.
"The Old Ying Shan below is a fake. The Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva is also not with him." Xiao Yan slowly exhaled and explained with a gloomy expression.
These words of Xiao Yan was undoubtedly like thunder that shook everyone until they became stunned. It was a long while later before Su Qian took the lead in recovering. He frowned and said, "A fake? Why is his aura so similar?"
"This should be something created by Old Ying Shan's spirit. We have underestimated his tactics. This unusual spiritual avatar is something that I have only seen for the first time. Other than my teacher, I'm afraid that he is the best person I have met who can manipulate his Spiritual Strength until such an extent." Xiao Yan slowly replied. His eyes coldly stared at 'Old Ying Shan,' who did not appear to panic despite being surrounded and attacked by so many people below.
Using one's spirit to create an avatar. This kind of unique method to use Spiritual Strength was something that Xiao Yan had never seen. He had also never seen Yao Lao display this. Despite this, he was naturally aware that Yao Lao definitely far surpassed Old Ying Shan when it came to the use of Spiritual Strength. After all, the renowned name of Yao zun-zhe (respectful name for a Dou Zun) did not come from nowhere.
Dou Zun. That was a level that was even further and more frightening than a Dou Zong. At that level, one was already a top person on the continent. Their methods were far from what an elite Dou Zong could compare with.
"Spiritual avatar?" Su Qian and thr Little Fairy Doctor were stunned when they heard Xiao Yan's words. Although they were also elite Dou Zongs, the two of them admitted that they could not agglomerate their spirit into an avatar and allow it to possess quite a great amount of genuine strength. It was unexpected that Old Ying Shan was actually able to reach such a level.
"What should we do now? Since this is a fake, it is likely that the real Old Ying Shan would have left long ago." Xiao Li knit his brows and softly cursed, "This old fellow is really crafty. He actually possessed such a tactic."
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes. A moment later, he suddenly shut his eyes. His Spiritual Perception once again surged out. However, this time around, it did not rush toward Old Ying Shan. Instead, it lingered over the sky and repeatedly scanned to and fro.
Although using Spiritual Strength to agglomerate an avatar might enable the avatar to possess the aura of the original body and some of its strength, there would still be a slight connection regardless of how far apart the avatar and the actual body were. Although this connection was extremely faint and thin, it did still exist. If he found a thread of this invisible connection, he might be able to find out where the actual body of Old Ying Shan was.
Powerful Spiritual Strengths crossed each other in the sky, forming an invisible spiritual net which carefully swept to and fro…
Normally, experts who specialized in training Dou Qi did not attach much importance to Spiritual Strength. Hence, on the whole, the people who possessed strong Spiritual Strengths on the Dou Qi continent were alchemists. This was because Spiritual Perception was something that was necessary to refind pills. The sharpness of one's Spiritual Perception was determined by the strength of one's Spiritual Strength. Being an outstanding person among these people, Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength was something that even Yao Lao could not stop praising. Hence, it was not impossible to rely on the strength of his Spiritual Strength to search Old Ying Shan's spiritual connection.
Su Qian and the others ceased their conversations when they saw Xiao Yan shut his eyes. They could vaguely sense an invisible strength be emitted from Xiao Yan's body. It quietly spread through the sky like waves of water…
The bloody mess in the mountain forest continued. Perhaps it was because of the yells of death that resounded over the place, but some factions, that had originally remained still, were unable to contain their eagerness anymore. During this period of time, there were even quite a number of experts who joined hands to approach Old Ying Shan's body. However, they still ended up seriously wounded by the latter and were forced to retreat after spitting out blood.
Xiao Yan, who had his eyes tightly shut, suddenly opened them while Old Ying Shan and the few experts collided. Immediately, his eyes turned to the eastern direction. A vague spiritual fluctuation was transmitted from that area earlier…
"Have you found it?" After looking in the direction Xiao Yan was staring in, Su Qian's heart tightened as he hurriedly asked.
"I have sensed something. That fellow is actually still nearby?" Joy surged onto Xiao Yan's face. His eyes immediately swept over the spiritual avatar of Old Ying Shan in the forest. He decisively said, "The Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan, follow me. First Elder, all of you should keep watch over this place. I will leave some signs along the way. If you personally see this spiritual avatar disappear, you should immediately hurry over."
"Just the three of you?" Su Qian frowned and asked after hearing his orders.
"Currently, no one knows just what kind of relationship this spiritual avatar and Old Ying Shan have with each other. Therefore, it is best if we are a little more cautious. It should be sufficient with just the Little Fairy Doctor and me on that side." Xiao Yan smiled. He beckoned to the Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan with his hand and did not remain any longer. Jade-green fire wings swiftly extended from his back. His body moved and rushed to the sky. He headed to the east where the spiritual fluctuation had originated from. The Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan followed close behind.
Su Qian's group sighed in relief when their gazes looked at the backs of Xiao Yan's group. From Xiao Yan's manner, it appeared that he had found some clues. As long as Old Ying Shan had not fled, there was still quite a great chance to obtain the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva.
"Now, we will see just what kind of tactics this old fellow is playing…"
Su Qian smiled slightly. His gaze slowly turned to the spiritual body of Old Ying Shan, which was surrounded, before whispering.
While the spot where Su Qian's group was located had erupted into a bloody big battle, an isolated col that was located on the eastern side of the Black Emperor City was filled with a silence.
A gray-haired old man was seated with his legs crossed within the col. His eyes were tightly shut as a powerful Spiritual Strength wrapped around his body. His shriveled tree-like fingers flickered in a flower-like manner in front of him. Following each change of his ten fingers, the powerful Spiritual Strength that spread over his body would emit waves of fluctuations.
The alteration continued for around ten minutes before the gray-haired old man slowly opened his eyes. A cold smile was revealed on his face. However, his expression suddenly changed when he was just about to get up. His gaze shot toward a spot outside of the col in a lightning-like manner as he coldly cried out, "Who is it?"
"Ha ha, Old Ying Shan really lives up to his reputation. You are actually able to create a spiritual avatar. This really surprises the old me…"
When the gray-haired old man's voice sounded, one could see over ten figures slowly surfacing outside of the col. One of them was surprisingly the sect leader of the Black Emperor Sect, Mo Tian Xing. Qi Shan and Mo Ya also following close behind him.
"Mo Tian Xing!"
Old Ying Shan's eyes immediately shrank a little as he looked at the human figures who had appeared. His voice was dark and cold as he asked, "What is sect leader Mo planning to do? Don't tell me that you wish to destroy the Black Emperor Sect's reputation?"
"Ha ha, old demon Ying, you can forget about frightening me. What can one's reputation do in the 'Black-Corner Region'? The people from the 'Black-Corner Region' do not buy this." Mo Tian Xing smiled and laughed.
"How did you find me?" Old Ying Shan's expression slightly sank. He suddenly seemed to have thought of something and his eyes became densely cold. "You have done something to the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva?"
"It is but just a little Dou Qi imprint." Mo Tian Xing faintly laughed. "Old demon Ying, don't delay for any more time. After using your spiritual avatar, your actual strength will have greatly diminished. With your current condition, you are no match for this ancestor (Dou Zong). Therefore, hand over the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva to me."
"You will let the old me leave if I hand it over to you?" Old Ying Shan replied with a cold smile.
Mo Tian Xing smiled and shook his head. He said, "Impossible. However, I can invite you to be a long term guest at my Black Emperor Sect."
The corner of Old Ying Shan's mouth slightly twitched when he heard this. A savageness immediately surfaced in his eyes as he ferociously laughed, "Mo Tian Xing, even the condition of this old me is not at its peak, you are really thinking simply if you want to snatch the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva from my hands!"
A majestic aura suddenly surged out from Old Ying Shan's body after his words sounded. Under the pressure of this majestic aura, the members of the Black Emperor Sect present, with the exception of Mo Tian Xing, took a couple of hurried steps back. Only then did they stabilize their bodies.
"In that case, I will give it a try." A dense coldness also surfaced on the corner of Mo Tian Xing's mouth. He waved his sleeves and a majestic aura that did not lose to Old Ying Shan's surged out like floodwater!
Two monstrous auras spread and collided within this small col. The spatial ripple that they created shook the col until it began to tremble. Numerous crack lines as thick as one's arm slowly climbed to the mountain peaks.
The two conflicting auras created a tense atmosphere of swords being drawn within the col. Just as a soul-stirring battle was about to erupt, a clear laugh suddenly resounded over the sky.
"Ha ha, it is unexpected that the real show is actually here. I nearly missed it."
Chapter 859: It Is Really You
The sudden laugh instantly caused everyone's expressions to change. Their gazes immediately turned in the direction where the laughter originated. They could see three human figures had suddenly appeared on a tall tree outside of the col. The person at the front, who was wearing a black robe, was Xiao Yan.
Old Ying Shan and Mo Tian Xing were slightly startled when their eyes saw Xiao Yan's group. Their expressions immediately revealed quite a great change. A moment later, Mo Tian Xing finally laughed and said, "It's actually mister Yan Xiao. It is unexpected that even you have seen through this old demon Ying's trick."
Xiao Yan vaguely smiled. His gaze gained a deeper meaning as it looked at Mo Tian Xing. He laughed and said, "It is unexpected that sect leader Mo is also here. This really surprises me."
Mo Tian Xing's expression became somewhat unnatural when he heard Xiao Yan's words that seemed to indicate something. They were the people who held the auction. Yet, they ended up quietly attacking the customers who had bought the item. If this news were to spread, it would not be considered a good thing for the Black Emperor Sect. Although the most important thing within the 'Black-Corner Region' was one's strength and a sufficiently large fist, one still needed a little integrity. Otherwise, who would dare to participate in any auction that the Black Emperor Sect decided to hold in the future?
People would be worried that the thing they had bid for at a high price would end up being snatched by someone else after they had paid for it. As a result, not only would they fail to obtain their bids, but they might even lose their lives. Hence, Xiao Yan's current appearance caused a cold killing intent to appear in Mo Tian Xing's heart. If it was not due to Mo Tian Xing being afraid of the Little Fairy Doctor beside Xiao Yan, it was likely that he would have long since launched an attack.
"Hee hee, this sect leader Mo is unwilling to part with the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva. Hence, he quietly did something to it. After which, he planned to quietly snatch it back. What a good tactic." Old Ying Shan's gaze swept over Xiao Yan's group. It paused on the white-clothed Little Fairy Doctor. He then laughed in a strange manner.
"Old demon Ying, attempting to gain the upper hand in an argument now does not benefit you." A denseness surfaced on Mo Tian Xing's face as he slowly spoke.
"Sect leader Mo's tone is really arrogant. You can come and give it a try. Even though the current condition of this old me is no match for you, you would have to pay the price of being seriously injured if you wish to defeat me. At that time…" Old Ying Shan coldly laughed as his gaze swept over Xiao Yan's group. The meaning in his words was understood even without being said.
Mo Tian Xing slowly clenched his fist under his sleeves. His expression also became slightly gloomy. The current situation was indeed not quite easy to resolve. It was fine if no one discovered this place. He could go all out and risk getting seriously injured to kill Old Ying Shan. However, Xiao Yan's group, consisting of three significantly strong individuals had arrived. He clearly understood in his heart that Xiao Yan's group had come because of the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva. If he were to be seriously injured in the battle with Old Ying Shan, Xiao Yan would have gained an advantage from the situation. Mo Tian Xing would naturally not do something to help another.
The cold smile on the corner of Old Ying Shan's mouth grew denser after seeing the solemn look that flashed past Mo Tian Xing's face and his hesitation. The appearance of Xiao Yan's group had instantly turned this situation into an extremely chaotic one. At this moment, it was likely that no one would dare to recklessly do anything. Such a situation undoubtedly benefited him greatly. As long as he was given sufficient time, he would be able to retrieve that spiritual avatar. At that time, he would once again be able to recover to his peak condition. By relying on this tactic it would not be difficult to flee.
The atmosphere within the col solidified in this manner. Even Xiao Yan's group did not dare to carelessly attack. After all, Mo Tian Xing and Old Ying Shan were both not ordinary people. It would be quite difficult for the three of them to deal with two elite Dou Zongs.
"Ha ha, mister Yan Xiao, this ancestor has an idea…" Mo Tian Xing suddenly smiled and spoke to Xiao Yan amid this stiff atmosphere.
"Sect leader Mo, please speak." Xiao Yan's face also carried a friendly smile. However, his heart was quite afraid and cautious of this old fellow who was like a smiling tiger.
"I assume that mister Yan Xiao has come here targeting the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva, no?" Mo Tian Xing asked an unnecessary question. He immediately smiled and said, "Why don't we do this? The both of us can join hands to deal with Old Ying Shan. If we obtain the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva from his hands, my Black Emperor Sect will not take it. However, mister Yan Xiao must give us some compensation. What do you say?"
"Compensation?" Xiao Yan was startled when he heard this. He half-smiled and asked, "Zong Breaking Pill?"
"Ha ha, it is really easy to speak to an intelligent person." Mo Tian Xing smiled and asked, "What does mister Yan Xiao think?"
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes. He exchanged gazes with the Little Fairy Doctor by the side, appearing as though he was a little interested.
"Don't trust this old fellow. You have wreaked his plan and he will definitely not let you off easily. Moreover, with his greed, do you think that he would be willing to hand the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva over to you?" Old Ying Shan coldly laughed while Xiao Yan was in deep thought.
"You're noisy!" Mo Tian Xing's face suddenly sank. He waved his sleeve and a ten-foot-large golden-colored Dou Qi shot out explosively. Immediately, it was like a golden python that hissed through the air headed toward Old Ying Shan.
"Hmph!"
Old Ying Shan also let out a cold snort when he saw Mo Tian Xing attack. His shriveled hand was extended out before suddenly clenching. The space in front of him became distorted and that golden-colored Dou Qi heavily struck that distorted substance-like space. It exploded into an earth-shaking sound, and both were annihilated. However, at the same time that they were annihilated, the remaining energy ripple caused this small col to violently tremble a couple of times. A couple of enormous rocks rolled down from the mountain peak while carrying a loud crashing sound.
"Mister Yan Xiao, please rest reassured. The old me guarantee you that as long as you are able to hand the Zong Breaking Pill to my Black Emperor Sect, we will definitely not touch that Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva!" Mo Tian Xing once again turned his gaze to Xiao Yan after he had attacked in anger. His voice was extremely sincere as he spoke.
Xiao Yan appeared to be in deep thought over Mo Tian Xing's suggestion on the surface. However, his heart was filled with cold laughter. From the way he looked at it, this Old Ying Shan and Mo Tian Xing were all crafty old foxes. None of them could be trusted. Promises and guarantees were little different from farting to them. They did not have any binding effects.
Although Mo Tian Xing did not have any trustworthiness, his suggestion was not one that was infeasible. Old Ying Shan was similarly not an ordinary person. Everything would be much easier and simpler if they finished him off now. Who would end up owning the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva was a matter to be decided later…
However, just as Xiao Yan was planning to agree a faint voice suddenly resounded from nowhere.
"Sect leader Mo, if you really want to seek someone to cooperate with, why do you need to look for them? Isn't my Demon Flame Valley a better choice?"
The expressions of everyone present changed when they heard this voice. Their gazes immediately moved in an abrupt manner and saw over ten rays of light rushing over from the northern sky. Within a couple of blinks, they had appeared in the sky above this col. The person leading them was surprisingly that mysterious gray-robed person. Behind him, First Elder Fang Yan and the Elders from the Demon Flame Valley were looking at the area with a cold smile in their eyes.
"The people from Demon Flame Valley…"
Xiao Yan's brows were tightly knit as he glanced at this group of people. He muttered, "These fellows… how did they discover this place? Things are going to be somewhat troublesome now…"
Old Ying Shan's expression had also become somewhat ugly because of the appearance of the Demon Flame Valley. At this moment, the situation was worsening for him with the appearance of a greater number of experts. Being in possession of the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva, he was the target of everyone. Although he might be an elite Dou Zong, there were at least three people present who were of the same class as him. It was still fine if it was one on one. However, if it became one versus three, he would not even know how he died…
"Ha ha, it is unexpected that even the Demon Flame Valley have seen past the tricks of old demon Ying…" Mo Tian Xing's expression had sunk initially, but he quickly smiled and spoke. His gaze slowly paused on the gray-robed person leading the Demon Flame Valley's group. He smiled and said, "May I know just who this expert is? Base on what the old me knows, the valley chief of the Demon Flame Valley appears to be in a deep retreat. I don't think that you are him, right?"
"Mister is a VIP of our Demon Flame Valley. Sect leader Mo has not come and visited our Demon Flame Valley for a long time. You would naturally be unaware of it." Fang Yan laughed. His somewhat dense gaze turned to Xiao Yan. He smiled and said, "This mister Yan Xiao, oh, that's not right. It seems that I should address you as chief Xiao, right?"
At this moment, Xiao Yan was no longer wearing the Doupeng. Therefore, his appearance had also been revealed. It was due to this that First Elder Fang Yan became aware of his identity with one glance. After all, quite a number of people in the upper echelons of the Demon Flame Valley possessed a drawing of Xiao Yan.
"Chief Xiao?" Mo Tian Xing and the people from the Black Emperor Sect were all stunned when they heard this.
"Ha ha, don't tell me that sect leader Mo doesn't know that this mister Yan Xiao is actually the chief of that 'Xiao Gate', Xiao Yan? Back then, he was an unmatched under the limelight within the 'Black-Corner Region' for a short while. Even the Gold Silver Elders were defeated by him." Fang Yan laughed.
The expression of Mo Tian Xing and the others became somewhat interested after they heard Fang Yan speak. They had also paid quite a great attention to this new faction from the Black-Corner Region. Moreover, they were also very interested in this mysterious chief who had established it. It was unexpected that this mysterious chief was actually this extremely young Yan Xiao in front of them.
Xiao Yan ignored their unusual gazes. His eyes had remained firmly locked on that gray-robed person since the latter appeared. Now that they were this close, the familiar and dark feeling that the other party gave him was very dense…
"Tsk tsk, why? Does chief Xiao feels an extremely familiar feeling?" A dense laugh that was filled with killing intent was transmitted from under the gray robe in front of Xiao Yan's eyes.
Xiao Yan's heart leaped suddenly when he heard this somewhat familiar laughter. A thought flashed through his heart in a lightning-like manner.
The hands of the gray-robed person gently grabbed the gray robe. He slowly pulled it apart after the laughter sounded.
A face that was filled with a savage look suddenly appeared when the gray robes parted.
Xiao Yan's dark-black eyes abruptly shrank when the gray robe parted.
"It really is… you…"
