Battle Through the Heavens: The Young Master of the Heavenly Serpent, intercepts Yao Lao at the star

The area in front of the town's fortress was bustling with noise.

Countless caravans, pedestrians, and guards lined up in long queues to be checked by the city guards.

On the city walls, flags fluttered in the wind, the two characters "Gama" standing majestically, demonstrating the majesty of the empire's frontier.

After entering the pass, Lü Man concealed all her Dou Huang aura and transformed into a gentle maid in green robes. She quietly followed Bai Chuxiao and asked softly, "Young Master, shall we go directly to the capital?"

In her view, the Gama Empire was nothing more than a small border country in the Northwest Continent. The so-called opportunity must be hidden in the most prosperous imperial capital, where the empire's top resources and strongest people were gathered.

Bai Chuxiao shook his head mysteriously, a knowing smile playing on his lips: "The opportunity I sensed isn't in the capital. Let's go buy a map of the Jia Ma Empire first."

Although Green Barbarian had doubts, she didn't ask any further questions and simply agreed respectfully.

The two found a map stall in the fortress's market. Bai Chuxiao casually tossed out a few gold coins and received a detailed map of the entire Gama Empire.

My fingertips lightly traced across the map, and my gaze finally settled on an inconspicuous small town marker in the southwest corner—Utan City.

"This is it." Bai Chuxiao tapped lightly with his fingertip, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

What he was looking for was never some rare and precious treasure, but rather the young man who possessed an immense opportunity, and that unassuming, ancient storage ring.

After determining their location, the two did not delay any longer. In order to keep a low profile, they did not choose to transform their battle qi into wings, but instead hired a flying magical beast and sped towards Wutan City.

Along the way, Bai Chuxiao closed his eyes to rest, pondering his next plan; while Lü Man stood guard by his side, vigilantly watching the surrounding movements, keeping all potential dangers at bay.

Several days later, the two slowly entered Wutan City.

Although this small town is not as bustling as the capital, it is still very lively. The streets are filled with traffic, and the sounds of vendors calling out their wares fill the air, creating a vibrant atmosphere.

Bai Chuxiao casually found a clean inn to stay in, and after resting for a night, he took Lü Man to stroll through the city's market the next morning.

The market town of Wutan is divided into three parts, each controlled by one of the three major families in the city: the Xiao family, the Jialie family, and the Aoba family.

Bai Chuxiao deliberately wandered aimlessly around Xiao Family Market for a few days.

Xiao Family Market is quite large, with a constant stream of people. It mainly sells low-level pills, weapons, and monster materials, which are in line with the consumption level of a small town.

Bai Chuxiao looked around with great interest, while Lü Man followed closely behind him, her aloof demeanor attracting the attention of many passersby.

Just as the two were passing through a crowded alley, a series of arrogant footsteps suddenly came, accompanied by the boy's defiant shouts.

"Get out of the way! All of you, get out of the way!"

Bai Chuxiao paused, then looked up.

A group of teenagers dressed in light blue outfits escorted a tall and slender boy as they walked towards them.

The boy was about eleven years old, with a handsome face and an innate arrogance between his brows. He had a jade pendant hanging at his waist, and his body faintly emitted the fluctuations of a Dou Zhe level Dou Qi.

It was none other than Xiao Yan, the third young master of the Xiao family.

At this time, Xiao Yan, who was only eleven years old, broke through to the Dou Zhe level. He was a recognized genius in the entire Wutan City and was highly sought after. His personality became increasingly arrogant and domineering. Wherever he went, he was surrounded by admirers and could not tolerate any obstacles.

Seeing Bai Chuxiao standing in the middle of the alley, showing no intention of making way, he frowned and shouted in an unfriendly tone, "Hey, you kid in front, don't you have eyes? Get out of my way right now!"

The Xiao family members behind him echoed, their arrogance palpable: "Get out of the way! This is our Third Young Master Xiao. If you delay his business, you'll regret it!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Chuxiao's eyes lit up: "Third Young Master of the Xiao family? After wandering around for days, have we finally waited for you?"

Green Barbarian, on the other hand, was both furious and amused. She could crush these arrogant ants in an instant.

Bai Chuxiao raised his hand to stop her, a playful smile playing on his lips. He sized up the spirited Xiao Yan before him, inwardly sighing:

Is this the future Emperor Yan? It's hard to connect him with the humble, polite, and grateful Xiao Yan.

No wonder he suffered those three years of scorn and humiliation. Before his cultivation regressed, this guy was so arrogant and had no protagonist's mentality whatsoever.

Perhaps this is what happens when evil has its consequences?

If you're used to being arrogant and domineering, treating everyone with a superior attitude, then when you fall into a trough, everyone will want to kick you while you're down.

Faced with Xiao Yan's reprimand, Bai Chuxiao not only didn't make way, but instead took a step forward and said calmly, "The alley is so wide, why don't you just go around it? Why do you insist that I make way?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable calmness, showing no regard for Xiao Yan's arrogance.

Xiao Yan had never been so defied before. His eyes widened in anger, and his fighting spirit surged slightly: "You dare to defy me? Do you know who I am? I am Xiao Yan, the third young master of the Xiao family! In this Wutan City, no one dares to disobey me!"

"The third young master of the Xiao family?" Bai Chuxiao chuckled, his tone slightly mocking. "Never heard of him."

Those four simple words were like a slap in the face to Xiao Yan.

The passersby gasped in shock, secretly worried for Bai Chuxiao. In Wutan City, this was the first person to dare speak to Xiao Yan like that!

Xiao Yan's face flushed red with anger, his fists clenched, and he unleashed his Dou Zhe-level Dou Qi without reservation, pressing down on Bai Chu Xiao: "Fine! Since you don't know what's good for you, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he moved and rushed towards Bai Chuxiao, his fist carrying a faint fighting spirit, aiming straight for Bai Chuxiao's face.

In Xiao Yan's eyes, the boy in front of him, who looked to be about the same age as him, was at most a piece of trash with only a few levels of Dou Qi, and he could knock him down with one punch.

Bai Chuxiao stood rooted to the spot, completely unmoved. He didn't even flinch at the attack from a Dou Zhe level opponent.

Just as Xiao Yan's fist was about to land on him, a cyan figure suddenly appeared.

Green Barbarian stood in front of Bai Chuxiao, and with a gentle lift of her hand, easily caught Xiao Yan's fist.

A gentle yet incredibly domineering force rebounded instantly. Xiao Yan felt a tremendous force come from him, and his whole body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

The entire room fell silent.

All the members of the Xiao family were stunned, staring blankly at the scene before them, unable to believe that their genius third young master had been defeated in one move by a seemingly weak woman!

Xiao Yan scrambled to his feet, clutching his chest, staring at Lü Man with a mixture of shock and anger, his eyes filled with disbelief: "You...who are you?!"

Green Barbarian glanced at him coldly, said nothing, and simply stood back behind Bai Chuxiao, reverting to her previous gentle demeanor, as if her casual strike had merely crushed an ant.

Bai Chuxiao stepped forward slowly, looking down at Xiao Yan with a calm tone: "When you're out in the world, you'd better tone down your arrogance a bit, otherwise, you'll stumble sooner or later."

But Xiao Yan not only didn't back down, he stubbornly snorted defiantly, "Hmph! You're just relying on the woman behind you for support, what kind of skill is that? Do you dare to fight me one-on-one?"

The fish took the bait, just what Bai Chuxiao wanted.

He had no intention of making enemies with Xiao Yan. The reason he lingered in the Xiao family market for so long was to lure out this crucial "fish".

Bai Chuxiao chuckled lightly, his tone composed: "Why wouldn't I dare? However, you are currently injured, so I won't take advantage of your vulnerability. I'll give you a few days to recuperate, and the two of us will stay at the Yuelai Inn in the east of the city, ready to await the arrival of the Third Young Master of the Xiao family."

As soon as he finished speaking, Green Barbarian behind Bai Chuxiao almost burst out laughing.

A powerful Dou Wang (Battle King) expert saying "Waiting for your arrival" to a mere Dou Zhe (Battle Warrior) level youth—this is hardly an invitation; it's clearly a subtle attempt to flatter and kill!
