People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 159 The Three-Year Agreement Comes to an End
The floating clouds in the sky are like white clothes, which change into dark clouds in a moment.

A year and a half has quietly passed.

The changes in the situation in the Black Corner region are not enough to affect the entire Northwest Continent.

Even the Purple Cloud Pavilion, which has risen to become the leader, has little impact on the low- and mid-level cultivators in the Black Corner Region.

Many people even find it unbelievable that Zixiao Pavilion has kept such a low profile for the past year and a half.

The most obvious example is that, apart from the Ice Emperor and the purple-haired little girl who often gave herself all sorts of strange titles, the other powerful figures of the Purple Cloud Pavilion have not shown their faces even once in the past year and a half.

However, even so, the position of Zixiao Pavilion remains unshakable. The fear and awe of Zixiao Pavilion by the established forces has not diminished but has instead deepened.

However, some well-informed people knew some inside information. Half a year ago, in the deep mountains behind Zixiao Pavilion, one day suddenly the energy of heaven and earth surged wildly, stirring up gusts of wind, which could be felt within a radius of hundreds of miles.

Such a huge commotion clearly indicates that a powerful individual has broken through.

Moreover, the breakthrough wasn't even in a minor realm!
...

Chen Xiao and his group did not care what outsiders thought.

For the past year and a half, they have only done one thing.

All I do is cultivate, and more cultivation!
Of course, occasionally during their free time, the group would gather in the pavilion for a chat, but outsiders would never know.

Like, right now.

Chen Xiao, Cai Lin, Xiao Yi Xian, Zi Yan, and Hai Bo Dong were all present.

Hai Bodong held an open letter in his hand, which came from the Mittel family of the Gama Empire.

After browsing through the information, Hai Bodong let out a soft "hmm," his smile becoming somewhat amused, as if he had seen something rather unexpected.

"Old Hai, what are you laughing at?"

Attracted by Hai Bodong's actions, Zi Yan immediately became interested and, while asking a question, got up and went over to him.

"Something rather interesting happened recently in the Gama Empire. You might want to guess what it is."

After handing the letter to Zi Yan, Hai Bodong looked at Chen Xiao, deliberately keeping him in suspense.

Chen Xiao was about to speak when Cai Lin spoke first.

"Ice Emperor, just speak frankly. Although the Gama Empire is not large, it is elusive and unpredictable. Who could possibly guess what it is?"

Chen Xiao and Little Fairy Doctor nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing Cai Lin's words, Hai Bodong no longer dared to pretend to be mysterious.

I still remember that one day a year ago, Cai Lin suddenly called him Old Hai, which startled Hai Bodong.

Although he later guessed the reason, he still found it hard to bear being addressed that way.

Coincidentally, Cai Lin also felt uncomfortable with it.

Ultimately, at Chen Xiao's suggestion, they changed their address to simply "Ice Emperor".

"Actually, it has nothing to do with us; it's a matter for the Yunlan Sect."

"About three years ago, Chen Xiao returned to Wutan City in the Jia Ma Empire. We witnessed an interesting incident at the Xiao family in Wutan City. Xiao Yan, the youngest son of the Xiao family patriarch in Wutan City, had an engagement with Nalan Yanran, the first disciple of the Yunlan Sect Master."

"Three years ago, Chen Xiao and I happened to be in Wutan City when Nalan Yanran came to the Xiao family to break off her engagement. The Xiao family naturally found it hard to accept such a humiliating thing. However, the Yunlan Sect was powerful. After some arguments, Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran made a three-year agreement."

"Tengshan mentioned this in his letter, and this three-year agreement has come to an end!"

A three-year agreement?

Upon hearing this word, both Chen Xiao and Cai Lin were moved.

Chen Xiao did a quick calculation and suddenly realized how fast time flies.

Before we knew it, it had already come to this point. Without the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, Xiao Yan's growth would definitely be affected to some extent; that was inevitable.

However, with Yao Chen around, Xiao Yan's growth will definitely not be bad, and the outcome of this three-year agreement will probably not change much.

Cai Lin, standing to the side, glanced at Chen Xiao.

The phrase "three-year agreement" was all too familiar to her.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran also made one.

However, she now knows that Chen Xiao had stayed in Wutan City for a period of time and knew Xiao Yan, so it's not surprising.

"Just a poor imitation."

Even though he knew she wasn't talking about him, Chen Xiao still felt his face burning.

"Old Hai, what was the result?"

"Hehe, it's quite unexpected that Xiao Yan won, but it was a fierce victory. Originally, this fight would have ended there, but unexpectedly, some people from the Yunlan Sect couldn't accept defeat and set their sights on the Xiao family. The Xiao family in Wutan City suffered a great calamity and many people died. Fortunately, most of the direct descendants were away at the time, so the losses were not significant. However, Xiao Zhan has gone missing and his fate is unknown."

"After learning about this, Xiao Yan went to the Yunlan Sect for the second time and caused a great disturbance. He even brought out the mysterious old man we had met before. This time, the Yunlan Sect paid a heavy price, and even the old sect master Yun Shan was alarmed. Seeing that things were not going well, the old man that Xiao Yan had brought out immediately took Xiao Yan and fled. Under his desperate protection, Xiao Yan escaped from the Jia Ma Empire and has now disappeared without a trace."

Chen Xiao nodded slightly; this wasn't much different from the original trajectory.

After all, Xun'er took away the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, a fact known only to him and Xun'er.

Given Xun'er's personality, after Chen Xiao's instructions, she probably wouldn't even tell Gu Yuan, let alone put it in the ancestral hall of the ancient clan.

Such a twist of fate meant that the Xiao family was still unable to escape this calamity.

In addition, before Chen Xiao left the Xiao family, he had privately reminded Elder Xiao Shiyi, whom he was quite familiar with. Now it seems that Xiao Shiyi relayed his reminder to Xiao Zhan, and Xiao Zhan listened to it and took precautions in secret, which is why he was able to protect his direct descendants.

Without giving it any further thought, Chen Xiao tapped the armrest lightly with his fingertips.

Now that Xiao Yan's three-year agreement has come to an end and he has escaped the Jia Ma Empire, barring any unforeseen circumstances, his destination should be Canaan Academy.

Moreover, Teng Shan's letter has arrived, and Xiao Yan and his disciples will probably be arriving in the Black Corner Region soon.

Upon realizing this, Chen Xiao immediately knew that his carefree days were over.

"Elder Hai, send a message to Yuan Yi and the others: they no longer need to hunt sixth-tier magical beasts. The cooperation on poisons, poisons, and medicinal herbs will continue."

"In addition, I remember that Black Seal City is closest to the Black Domain Plain. Tell Yuan Yi that our Purple Cloud Pavilion will be holding a large-scale auction with all kinds of good things. Tell him to make sure that this news spreads throughout the area around Black Seal City, so that everyone knows about it."

"Furthermore, he also publicized the fact that my Zixiao Pavilion sells information extensively. We have information on cultivation techniques, combat skills, magic cores and pills, rare medicinal herbs, and even the strange fire that drives alchemists crazy!"

Hai Bodong nodded repeatedly as Chen Xiao gave his instructions.

At the same time, there are also speculations about his motives.

"You mean, Xiao Yan will come to the Black Corner Region? We'll lure him to Zixiao City?"

Chen Xiao nodded calmly.

He has already taken all the good stuff from the Black Corner Region.

The reason I'm staying here is twofold: firstly, to cultivate diligently for a period of time, improve my strength, and increase my confidence for the journey to Zhongzhou.

The two of them waited for Xiao Yan.

After all, there were still some things he needed from Yao Chen.

In the present Black Corner Region, the Purple Cloud Pavilion has become the leader, so Chen Xiao naturally doesn't bother to personally search for Xiao Yan, as it would be too much trouble.

Therefore, it would be better to lure the master and disciple over.

As luck would have it, Chen Xiao possesses many things that could attract Xiao Yan and his disciples. All they need to do is spread the word and wait for them to come to them.
