Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 17 How can I live without you?

"Are you sure you're leaving tomorrow?"

"It's confirmed."

"Very good, the fledgling eagle has grown up and it's time to go out and roam." Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Yan with a smile.

"I'm all ready to leave, Grandpa, aren't you going to give me some travel money?"

Xiao Yan blinked, looking completely innocent.

"You brat, I knew you'd say that. Tell me, what are you lacking right now? When it comes to resources, you, as an imperial prince, can mobilize far more than I, a mere Dou Sheng." Xiao Lin glared at him.

"Hehe." Xiao Yan thought for a moment and realized that he really didn't want anything anymore.

He has no shortage of cultivation techniques and fighting skills, and he can freely choose from the treasures in the clan's treasury. If we really talk about it, what he lacks most right now is a different kind of fire. However, since he has not yet cultivated the Burning Technique, even if he were to devour a different kind of fire, the benefits would not be significant.

Therefore, his first stop was naturally the Starfall Pavilion.

However, this is not a happy way to be.

After all, getting something for free is the source of human happiness.

"This is part of my collection from before I became a saint. The resources in it should be enough for you to use for a while." Looking at Xiao Yan's still slightly immature face, Xiao Lin finally gave Xiao Yan two storage rings.

"The red one is an apology to the Nalan family, and the black one is for you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately used his soul power to probe into the ring.

The black ring contained more than a dozen Earth-rank cultivation techniques and combat skills, most of which were intermediate or advanced. In addition, there were several Grade 8 pills and many rare and precious materials.

The red ring contained relatively fewer items, but it still held three Earth-rank combat techniques and a pile of fifth and sixth-rank pills. In terms of value, it should be equivalent to the entire net worth of a Dou Zong.

"That's enough, that's enough!" Xiao Yan grinned, showing his teeth. Although he had quite a few good things in his possession, who would complain about having too many treasures?

"Look at you, you'd better go see your parents. You're leaving tomorrow, spend some quality time with them." Xiao Lin said with a laugh, kicking Xiao Yan.

"Alright." Xiao Yan left Xiao Lin's room with a smile, holding the two storage rings, and went to his parents' room.

"Father, Mother!" Xiao Yan strode into the room and saw his mother, Yao Xian, sobbing in his father Xiao Zhan's arms.

"Yan'er, you're leaving tomorrow. These are some things your mother has prepared for your journey, things you might need on the way." Yao Xian handed Xiao Yan a storage ring, her eyes red.

Xiao Yan probed inside with his soul power, and wow, it was even more than what his grandfather Xiao Lin had given him, especially the pills and medicinal herbs inside, which were enough for a small sect outside.

Besides being the daughter of an elder of the Yao Clan, Yao Xian was also a near-eighth-grade alchemist, so she naturally gave her a lot of pills.

The saying goes, "A loving mother's sword cuts through her wandering son's body," but it's more like, "A loving mother's thread sews clothes for her wandering son."

Motherly love is always great, so what about fatherly love?

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Zhan beside him.

"Why are you looking at me? I don't have anything valuable on me. My income goes entirely to support this family." Xiao Zhan waved his hand, looking like a bachelor.

"Tch." Xiao Yan curled his lip.

The family chatted until late at night, and the next morning, Xiao Yan went to visit the homes of the various elders.

"My dear elders, I'm leaving today."

"Great, let's go out and make our mark."

"I'm leaving."

"I know, I'll give it to you."

"I'm leaving."

"??"

"So, you're not going to do anything?" Xiao Yan extended his hand.

Everyone's old: "."

"Elder San, I'm about to leave, I've come to say goodbye."

"Good child, this is a token of my appreciation." The three elders tossed over a storage ring.

"Is this all your kindness is worth?"

The three elders: "."

"Elder Wu, I'm leaving now, I've come to say goodbye."

"Let's go, let's go, let's get some experience."

"Aren't you going to do anything about it?"

"What do you mean? I have no money, but you can take my life!"

"How dare you! This prince will imprison you in the Demon-Suppressing Tower!"

The Xiao Realm is vast and boundless, its area almost exceeding that of any empire on the continent. Moreover, its borders are reinforced by array formations, so any powerhouse below the Dou Sheng level can only enter or leave the Xiao Realm through the Realm Gate.

The boundary gate is located in a mountain range to the northeast, reaching a height of hundreds of feet. Looking out, it resembles a mysterious black hole, where members of the Xiao clan can be seen coming and going from time to time.

Beneath the black hole, two peak Dou Zun experts lead a portion of the army to guard the area, demonstrating its importance to the Xiao Clan.

The gate to the realm was quite lively today. Because of Xiao Yan's departure, almost all the people of status from Xiao Lin's lineage came. A Dou Sheng, nearly ten Dou Zun, hundreds of Dou Zong, and many juniors formed a rather spectacular group.

Many of the clansmen who were going in and out of the black hole wondered which family's young master was about to go out.

Will we ever meet again, Brother Yan?

"May you be happy when we meet again."

Xiao Ning looked at Xiao Yan with teary eyes.

"Get lost, you scare me to death." Xiao Yan shoved Xiao Ning away.

"You must be happy, you must be blessed, Brother Yan."

"If you keep doing that, I'll hit you!"

Xiao Yan stood there, and a group of his underlings looked at him with reluctance.

"Don't worry." Xiao Yan pressed his hands down, and the ten storage rings on his ten fingers reflected a dazzling light in the sunlight.

Not far away, several elders watched this scene and felt that the light was unusually dazzling.

"Once I've settled down in the Northwest Continent, I'll bring you over. Then, I'll lead you to create a great world there!"

Xiao Yan tried to persuade his underlings.

"Young Master, we should go," Xiao Wen reminded him gently.

"Understood." Xiao Yan nodded slightly and said goodbye to his family and friends.

"Take care, everyone! We'll meet again!" After saying that, he followed Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu and flew into the boundary gate.

"Brother Yan, how can I live without you!"

A group of underlings cried their hearts out.

"This departure marks the flight of a fledgling eagle, destined to dominate the skies." Watching Xiao Yan's departing figure, Xiao Lin smiled.

As night fell, Void Devouring Flame remained standing guard, seemingly devoid of any will to live. In the back mountain, which was faintly illuminated by his black flames, several figures emerged.

"They're finally gone."

"Heh heh heh, he's finally gone. Our plan can begin now."

The dark moonlight illuminated everyone's old faces, revealing eerie smiles resembling chrysanthemums.

"We old guys have been tormented by this kid over the years."

"Xiao Yan is a cunning kid, and he's corrupted most of the children in the clan."

"Now that he's gone, these kids are leaderless and no one is standing up for them or taking the blame. It's the perfect time to deal with them."

The sinister voices of the three old men could be heard.

"As the saying goes, it's hard to guard against a thief within the family. Over the years, under Xiao Yan's leadership, we old men have had quite a few things stolen from us. They even ate the Heavenly Treasure Sacred Lotus that I used to refine medicine."

The five old men's angry voices rang out.

"Many of my dragonfish were also electrocuted by Xiao Li."

"And my fifth-tier magical beast, the sheep, was so cute, but it got roasted by these little brats."

"."

The crowd chattered amongst themselves, complaining about how they had been harmed by their unworthy descendants over the years.

"But now that Xiao Yan is gone, we have plenty of ways to deal with them."

Someone uttered these words, and under the dark moon, the smiles on the faces of the elders grew even more terrifying.

"Hehehe."

"Hehehe."

"Hehehehehehehe!"
