Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 24 Who's so blind?

As Yao Lao and Xiao Yan appeared, several powerful soul fluctuations were faintly emitted from a towering tower in the center of Saint Pill City.

The next second, two elderly people and a beautiful woman appeared above the square.

"Whoosh!" The already noisy square became even more chaotic.

"The three giants of the Dan Tower! They've all appeared at the same time!"

"The Medicine Master's influence is truly immense! Now, all the top alchemists on the entire continent have gathered here. Gentlemen, we've certainly seen the world today," someone exclaimed excitedly.

"Yao Chen, you've arrived." The middle-aged woman's expression was slightly cold as she looked at the old man in his green robe, but her tone was still polite.

"Since you sent me an invitation, of course I'll come." Yao Lao's expression wasn't gentle either, but Xiao Yan could tell from his subtle expressions that he was actually quite excited, and there was a meaningful smile in his eyes.

"Tsk tsk, this old rascal is really wicked." Xiao Yan chuckled.

"What, Yao Chen, is this little guy your newly accepted disciple?" Upon hearing this, Xuan Yi also had a meaningful smile on his face, and even glanced at Xiao Yan indifferently.

"Do you think you're the only one who can find good disciples?" Yao Lao sneered upon hearing this.

"It seems you have a lot of confidence in your disciple." Xuan Yi glanced at Xiao Yan, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Her recently accepted disciple is so talented that he could be described as a prodigy. Even the most outstanding disciples of the Medicine Clan might not be as talented as Cao Ying.

But Yao Chen was surprisingly confident in the little guy.

"Hehe, this kid has quite a background, doesn't he? He even has two powerful protectors behind him." An old man suddenly spoke up as the two were talking.

This person is named Xuan Kongzi, the most powerful of the three giants of the Pill Tower, and only one step away from becoming a half-saint.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yi and Tian Lei Zi, who was standing to the side, both changed their expressions.

Both of them were at the peak of Dou Zun, and they were able to hide in space without being detected. The two powerful figures behind this kid must be at least five-star Dou Zun or above, and they were also good at hiding.

As Xuan Kongzi's voice fell, two spatial ripples spread out behind Xiao Yan, and the two sages of literature and martial arts emerged.

As the two figures dispersed, the expressions of the three giants of the Dan Tower changed drastically.

"Two demigods!"

Just how terrifying is this kid's background? He actually has two demigods acting as his protectors.

Half-Saints are considered the most powerful force in the Dou Qi Continent, where almost all Dou Saints are in seclusion to retire. They are capable of establishing a first-class power in the Central State. However, such powerful individuals are being entrusted with the role of protectors to a young boy, and there are two of them at once.

"I forgot to introduce you. My disciple is the Holy Son of the Xiao Clan, a descendant highly valued by the Xiao Clan Chief." Seeing the three people's drastically changed expressions, Yao Lao inwardly exclaimed how satisfying it was to show off like this.

Of course, he wouldn't show it on his face, especially in front of women; he always had to remain composed.

Xiao Yan ultimately kept his identity as the son of the Emperor a secret from Yao Lao and no one else in the outside world. He feared that if his identity were too impressive, no one would be willing to be his true friend.

Therefore, he could only settle for second best and say that he was just a minor holy son of the Xiao clan, who was more valued by the clan leader because his talent was better than the other holy sons.

The Xiao Clan! The people the clan leader values! The three giants of the Dan Tower exchanged glances, all seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

The Xiao clan has always lived in seclusion, but at their level, they naturally had a vague understanding of the Xiao clan's strength.

Not to mention that the Xiao Clan has the only Dou Di expert in the world, the sheer number of those terrifying Dou Sheng experts is enough to make one's breathless.

Among the seven ancient races, even the weakest, the Spirit Race, is stronger than the Pill Tower. Becoming a Holy Son or Holy Daughter of an ancient race means having a great chance of becoming a Battle Saint.

"So you are the Holy Son of the Xiao Clan. Hehe, young friend, this way please." After a moment of silence, Xuan Kongzi took the lead in gesturing for Xiao Yan to enter, and also gestured to the two sages of literature and martial arts behind Xiao Yan.

"This way, please, esteemed guests!"

"Hmm!" The two saints, one civil and one military, nodded expressionlessly, but were secretly thrilled.

Although the two of them were at the high level of the Xiao Clan due to their half-saint cultivation, there were many more powerful figures above them. If they wanted to show off in the Xiao Clan, there were plenty of Dou Sheng who would jump out and make them look bad.

Since coming to the outside world with Xiao Yan, the two have been greeted with smiles. No matter if you are a giant of the Pill Tower or the master of the Starfall Pavilion, you have to be respectful to me.

Without the emergence of the Battle Saint, who can contend with him!

This feeling of being able to roam freely across the continent almost made the two sages, Wen and Wu, forget all about their duties.

After Xuan Kongzi led Xiao Yan and the other two away, Xuan Yi put away his polite fake smile and quietly walked to Yao Lao's side.

"Old man, tell me quickly, how did this holy son of the Xiao clan become your disciple?"

"Hehe, maybe it's because I'm an old man with a lot of charm. I'm not kidding you, this kid led two half-saints to attack Starfall Pavilion and then forced me to take him as a disciple."

The old doctor was overjoyed inside, but he only smiled calmly on his face, revealing only a hint of pride, so as not to lose face.

"You're talking nonsense!" Seeing Yao Lao's expression, Xuan Yi rarely swore.

"If you don't believe me, fine. This time, let's see if your precious disciple can beat mine." Yao Lao smiled faintly and chased after Xiao Yan.

"That old man is really good at pretending." Xuan Yi stood there and glared at Yao Lao fiercely before finally transforming into a streak of light and chasing after him.

Her initial confidence was now tinged with apprehension.

After all, he was the holy son of an ancient race, and the most powerful Xiao clan at that. This young man was fully capable of becoming a saint. Although his precious disciple was exceptionally talented, the opponent he faced was truly formidable.

"Hmph, strong cultivation talent doesn't mean extraordinary alchemy talent. I refuse to believe this kid's alchemy skills can surpass Ying'er's!"

In the main hall on the top floor of the Pill Tower, Xuan Kongzi personally served several cups of tea to Xiao Yan and the others.

In their eyes, Xiao Yan is no longer just a talented kid. Anyone who is associated with the Xiao Clan will be taken seriously by even a Dou Sheng expert.

Moreover, this is the holy son of the Xiao clan, who can lead two half-saints!

After finishing a cup of tea, Xiao Yan stood up.

"Teacher, seniors, please continue your conversation. I've often heard from within the clan that Dan Tower is quite prosperous, so I'd like to go out and explore. Call me if you need anything."

Xiao Yan took out a communication jade talisman and made a gesture to Yao Lao as if he were making a phone call.

"Go on, go on." Yao Lao was already used to Xiao Yan's strange behavior.

Seeing Xiao Yan leave, the two sages of literature and martial arts immediately stood up and followed behind him.

"Why don't you two seniors have some more tea? After all, this Pill Tower is our territory, so there's no need to worry about the Holy Son's safety." Seeing the two half-saints about to leave, Xuan Kongzi quickly stood up.

"Hehe, we appreciate President Xuan Kongzi's kindness, but His Highness the Holy Son's safety is our top priority. If anything happens to the Holy Son, even twisting our heads off wouldn't be enough," Xiao Wen said with a smile.

This further elevated Xiao Yan's status in the eyes of the three powerful figures within the Xiao clan.

Xiao Yan swaggered around the Pill Tower. To make it easier for him to move around, Xuan Kongzi even gave him a companion badge, which allowed Xiao Yan to go anywhere except for a few confidential places.

The second to fourth floors of the Pill Tower are like the library of the Xiao Clan, filled with books and formulas on alchemy, and even some combat techniques used to assist in alchemy.

Bored, Xiao Yan casually pulled out a copy of "The Alchemy Record of the Jade Bamboo Cliff" and started reading.

These are some alchemy experiences shared by alchemists from outside the field, and are not considered secrets, so Xiao Yan can read them at will.

"Not bad. It seems that alchemists from the outside world have some differences in their thinking compared to ancient races." After reading the book, Xiao Yan put it back on the bookshelf and took a step back as usual.

But then I felt my back suddenly bump into a soft body.

"Who the hell is so blind? Can't they watch where they're going?!" Cursing, he turned around, and a slender figure appeared in front of Xiao Yan.
