Chapter 167 Xiao Yan's Adventures in the Black Corner Region
"Phew, we finally escaped. Teacher, have we entered the Black Corner Region yet?" Xiao Yan stood on a mountaintop, gazing at the distant black plains, and asked.

It was truly remarkable that they managed to escape the siege of the Yunlan Sect this time.

At this moment, Xiao Yan felt a sense of exhilaration, like a fish entering the sea or a bird soaring into the blue sky, as if he could go anywhere in the world.

"In the Black Corner Region, try to keep a low profile and don't expose yourself easily. You have quite a few good things on you. If you encounter any powerful figures, they might become greedy and kill you to steal your valuables," Elder Yao reminded him.

After hearing Yao Lao's extremely serious tone, Xiao Yan...

The joy on his face couldn't help but fade.

"Don't worry, teacher. It's my fault for dragging you into this. I know what to do."

Xiao Yan smiled wryly, "It seems this damned place is truly chaotic beyond belief. At least in the Jia Ma Empire, those powerful figures still retain some arrogance, and it's rare to see them resorting to robbery. But here, according to Teacher, it seems as casual as eating a home-cooked meal."

No wonder the old doctor was so cautious.

Because of Lin Mo's intervention, Xiao Yan's growth path, although the general direction remained unchanged, underwent many changes in the details.

The most obvious example of this was the battle against the Yunlan Sect.

With fewer helpers around him, it was only through Yao Lao's great effort that he was able to successfully escape with Xiao Yan.

Therefore, Yao Lao at this time is extremely weak compared to the original work.

Basically, Xiao Yan's most powerful Heaven-rank Dou Technique, Ghost Possession, will be unusable for a long time to come.

In Yao Lao's opinion, Xiao Yan would only be completely safe after arriving at Canaan Academy.

"Haha, otherwise, how can the Black Corner Region be considered the most chaotic region on the continent?"

The old man laughed and said, "Alright, little guy, I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me. Besides, although it's dangerous and chaotic here, there are so many good things that it's dazzling. Maybe we can even collect some rare treasures here that can quickly restore soul power."

Xiao Yan knew that Yao Lao was trying to comfort him. He was no longer the ignorant boy who hadn't even left Wutan City. How easy was it to find a rare item that could restore soul power?

However, the old doctor's relaxed tone still affected him; just because something is hard to find doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

In any case, we must do everything we can to find a rare and precious object that can quickly restore soul power. Only when Yao Lao is restored can we better cope with the various unknown dangers we will encounter in the Black Corner Region.

After tidying everything up, and inserting the massive Xuanzhong Ruler behind him, Xiao Yan twisted his neck and stomped his foot hard on the ground, sending a burst of energy emanating from beneath his feet.

Xiao Yan's figure, like an arrow released from a bow, transformed into a black shadow and galloped towards the dark grassland.

"Teacher, let's go."

"I'd like to see just how chaotic this Black Corner Region can become."

On the vast plains of the Black Domain, they had traveled for an unknown amount of time.

Xiao Yan finally arrived at the first city.

He looked up at the large characters "Endless Flame Domain" in the center of the city gate, his gaze slowly moving down until it finally settled on the city guards at the gate.

Xiao Yan was prepared to be ripped off for a large sum of gold coins upon entering the city.

It's important to know that even in an environment like the Gama Empire, there's always an entrance fee for entering a city.

Just as Xiao Yan took out a small bag of gold coins, preparing to spend money to avoid trouble.

He realized that everyone around him was looking at him.

Just then, a city guard turned to look at Xiao Yan, waved him over, and said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get into the city. Remember, no trouble once inside!"

How is this going?

Xiao Yan followed the flow of people into the city. Such an unusual phenomenon made him not even bother to listen to what the city guard said next.

Xiao Yan looked at the others and found that they had also entered the city without paying.

"Teacher, what's going on? Wasn't it said that even before entering a tribe in the Black Corner Region, one had to give road access from a distance of 100 meters?" "Now, why don't we even have to pay the city entry fee?"

The old apothecary was also confused. He remained silent for a moment before saying, "Let's go into the city first and then talk about it."

After entering the city.

Xiao Yan looked up and saw many pedestrians on the street. Various stalls were set up on both sides of the street, and some children were running around, playing and laughing. It was a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.

Xiao Yan's eyes widened at the sight before him.

If it weren't for the fact that this was the Black Corner Region, Xiao Yan would have thought he had arrived at some secluded paradise town.

The pedestrians on the street only glanced at Xiao Yan's unfamiliar face before looking away and paying no further attention.

The more prosperous and peaceful the scene before them appeared, the more eerie it seemed to Xiao Yan and his disciple, Yao Lao.

"Boy, be careful," the old doctor said in a deep voice.

Even the old apothecary couldn't detect anything unusual. Despite being from the Black Corner Region, these people didn't exude any killing intent.

It was a very natural state, not a forced suppression of the fierce aura within.

It's so strange, really so strange.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

“I know, teacher,” Xiao Yan said in a deep voice.

He walked down the street, his mind starting to wander.

Something's definitely up to something, like that sweet soup stall not far ahead.

That sweet-smelling syrup must have been laced with deadly poison; the sweet aroma was there to mask the smell of the poison.

"This guest, would you like a bowl of sweet soup to help you relax?"

The stall owner was a young woman in a plain white dress, who was now smiling sweetly as she beckoned customers.

But in Xiao Yan's eyes, this young woman became a vicious and wicked woman, and her sweet smile became the sinister smile of a femme fatale.

The sweeter something is, the more poisonous it is.

This applies to sugar water, and even more so to women.

The blind fortune teller on the left is just pretending to be blind; he's actually a cunning and ruthless killer.

The little girl selling spirit fruits with a fruit basket walking towards him was actually an old monster who had practiced the art of rejuvenation; her actual age was unknown, perhaps much older than his.

And then there was that down-on-his-luck man in a blue robe who hawked Warcraft cores and materials.
In any case, everyone on the street, once seen by Xiao Yan and processed through his brain, would instantly be given a secret past that no one else knew.

Moreover, from Xiao Yan's perspective, it seemed as if everyone was staring at him and that everyone harbored ill intentions towards him.

In his imagination, there were even people from the Yunlan Sect lying in ambush among these people.

Xiao Yan hadn't walked more than a few steps when his forehead was covered in sweat.

He felt as if his legs were filled with lead, and he couldn't take a single step.

Xiao Yan stood in the middle of the street.

"Hey, hey, bro, are you alright?"

Suddenly someone reached out and patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder.
