Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 44 The Mysterious Ancient City

Having lived for so many years, the old doctor naturally knew that being merciful to the enemy was being cruel to oneself.

Throughout history, those who aspire to great things have needed to be decisive and ruthless.

He didn't say anything more, turned around and disappeared from the spot. Xiao Yan also didn't linger and flew back to the crowd in the Pill Tower.

As soon as he landed, he saw the boys in his class scatter and stand in two rows, obediently looking at Xiao Yan.

This boy is terrifying. He beat up the teaching assistant on the first day of school, and even the Grand Elder of the Dan Tower almost got beaten up by him.

The conversation between Xiao Yan and his group and the Grand Elder of the Pill Tower was blocked by the space, so no one could hear exactly what Xiao Yan said. However, they could see that the Grand Elder's expression changed from initial rage to later frustration.

It's not hard to imagine that this elder had run into a snag with Xiao Yan.

It's hard to imagine that a Dou Zun powerhouse and an eighth-grade alchemist was completely helpless against Xiao Yan.

This person not only has an incredibly powerful background, but also terrifying strength. He can beat an eight-star Dou Huang as easily as beating a dog, and he is also extremely domineering.

A group of inexperienced youths now felt a sense of fear towards Xiao Yan.

"This guy is a demon king; nobody should mess with him."

"Why are you all looking at me like that? Go back to the classroom." Seeing the awe in everyone's eyes, Xiao Yan gave a kind smile.

But to everyone else, that smile was as chilling as falling from the scorching sun into an ice cellar, making them want to shiver.

However, since Xiao Yan had spoken, everyone obediently left, except for Cao Ying and Dan Chen who remained to watch him.

"Are you alright?" Dan Chen paused, then couldn't help but step forward and ask.

"Do you think something's wrong?" Xiao Yan smiled and spread his hands, the sexy lines between his lean but explosive upper body muscles swaying with his movements.

"Oh dear, hurry up and put on your clothes." Dan Chen blushed and covered her eyes.

"Hey, the gap's a bit too big, your eyes are showing." Xiao Yan stared at her.

"Ah, oh!" The girl was so shy she wanted to disappear into the ground.

"I never expected that you could actually defeat Senior Brother Song Qing." Cao Ying looked at Xiao Yan's upper body with a charming gaze, unlike Dan Chen who was trying to hide it.

"Heh, you scumbag!" Xiao Yan sneered at her, then took out another set of black robes from his storage ring and put them on.

"How am I a scumbag? Xiao Yan, explain yourself clearly." Cao Ying raised her eyebrows.

"How is she a scumbag?" Xiao Yan turned around and gave her a cold look, saying, "Your senior brother Song Qing is very fond of you, but you use his affection as a tool."

Miss Cao, if one day I become your devoted follower, will I also end up like this?

"You!" Cao Ying's face paled slightly, and she exclaimed, "Is this how you see me?"

"Isn't that right, Miss Cao Ying? Using someone's feelings to make them do dangerous things—that kind of woman is far too dangerous. Let's keep our distance."

After saying that, he turned and left without looking back, leaving Cao Ying pale-faced.

When it comes to scheming, no matter how clever Cao Ying is, she is no match for Xiao Yan.

After all, beneath his youthful face lurked the soul of an old fox.

To deal with a woman like Cao Ying, one cannot be as subservient to her as Song Qing was. In addition to suppressing her in terms of ability, one must also have a stronger personality than her.

A "simp" is destined to never win the affection of a girl like that.

From the alchemy competition, feeding Song Qing medicine in his boudoir, beating Song Qing, to the sudden estrangement now, all of this was premeditated by Xiao Yan. Even without Song Qing's intervention, he would have beaten up Ma Qing and Zhang Qing to show off his skills.

Just like a lion will deliberately show off its strength to demonstrate its power.

When Cao Ying is willing to put aside her pride and take the initiative to show goodwill towards him, it will basically be a natural progression.

"Sister Cao Ying!" Dan Chen looked at Cao Ying with concern.

"I'm fine." Cao Ying looked up at Dan Chen, a hint of envy and jealousy in her eyes. She shook her head, her face pale, and said, "Let's go back."

"Mmm." Dan Chen nodded sweetly.

Xiao Yan's antics caused a sensation throughout the entire Pill Tower. Only then did the elders of the Pill Tower realize that Yao Chen, that genius disciple, was actually the Holy Son of the Xiao Clan.

Compared to the terrifying and suffocating background of the Xiao Clan, the mere identity of the young master of the Starfall Pavilion is insignificant.

Xiao Yan deliberately humiliated Song Qing and suppressed the Grand Elder of the Pill Tower. Besides his ruthless personality, he also wanted to show off his strength to these old men.

Pretending to be weak to deceive others isn't always effective. After all, the Dan Tower is a top power on the continent, second only to the seven ancient clans. Using the Xiao Clan to give these old guys a warning will make things much easier for me in the future.

Because Song Qing was seriously injured, the morning class was temporarily canceled. In the afternoon, the Dan Tower replaced him with a seventh-rank senior elder to teach the class.

After the elder arrived, he taught very seriously and was very polite to Xiao Yan, even showing some goodwill in his words.

Xiao Yan didn't interact with him much, only responding with a polite smile, which left the elder quite disappointed.

If we can climb up to the Xiao clan, this giant tree, we might find a way to use it someday.

The basic theory classes went by quite quickly, and the time flew by as Cao Ying gradually developed feelings for Dan Chen. During this period, Cao Ying also took the initiative to contact her twice.

The first time, Xiao Yan's attitude was indifferent, as if he were treating a stranger. The second time, his expression softened slightly, as if he were treating an ordinary friend.

In fact, the two were just ordinary friends. However, Cao Ying's subconscious, which had been manipulated by Xiao Yan, was unconsciously guiding her to try to develop the relationship to a deeper level.

Meanwhile, during the time Xiao Yan was learning alchemy at the Pill Tower, a terrible calamity occurred on a plain in the western part of Zhongzhou.

The Abundant Plains are located in the western part of Central Continent. This area has always been under the jurisdiction of Black Wind Sect, a second-rate power. Although this area does not have many precious resources, it has a huge grain yield and a fast reproduction rate of species. Therefore, it is the base of Black Wind Sect.

But today, a terrible change has occurred on a small hill in the fertile plain.

The once calm and peaceful sky first showed tiny cracks, and then shattered under the weight.

Then, a huge ancient ruin fell from it, shaking the entire fertile plain.

This is an ancient city with a diameter of about twenty miles. The city is circular in shape, with a dry riverbed dividing it into two halves. If viewed from the sky, it looks like a giant tai chi symbol.

This ancient city suddenly plummeted from the sky, attracting countless gazes.

The Black Wind Sect, the overlord of this area, dispatched two Dou Huangs with a group of disciples to investigate the moment the fertile plains trembled. The ancient city that could be hidden in space was undoubtedly the work of a Dou Sheng powerhouse.

If they could obtain some treasures to inherit, the strength of the Black Wind Sect might be able to rise to another level.

Two Dou Huangs excitedly led their team into the ancient city.

However, something strange happened.
