Dou Po: I didn’t mean to put it on the yandere beauty

While Xiao Yan was helpless, a few old figures finally appeared from the main peak. When they saw Xiao Yan, they were stunned at first, and then shouted in surprise.

Hearing the surprised voice, the dozen or so guest elders and countless disciples of Xingyun Pavilion were stunned, and then looked at Xiao Yan with some disbelief. Xiao Yan's reputation in Xingyun Pavilion was not low, but they had not been here for long, so this was the first time they saw him.

"So he is the young master of our Xingyun Pavilion."

"Hehe, the young master is quite handsome."

"Don't be such a fangirl. How could a person like the Young Master be interested in us?"

"I heard that the young pavilion master is the runner-up of the Alchemy Conference and a Dou Zun strongman. I joined the Xingyun Pavilion because of his reputation. I didn't expect to finally meet such a legendary figure today, hehe."

"."

As noisy whispers were heard below, an old man in a yellow robe, who seemed to be the leader of the group of guest elders, hurriedly came forward with a smile and said respectfully to Xiao Yan that although he was older, as the saying goes, a wise man is a teacher. Xiao Yan's current achievements in any aspect were far beyond what they could compare to, so he was naturally extremely polite when speaking, otherwise it would be rude in the slightest.

"You're welcome, elder."

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, then his eyes swept across the space with a hint of admiration in his eyes. In just half a year, Xingyun Pavilion had undergone a drastic change. With so many powerful people guarding it, even the Soul Palace might not be able to attack easily. Judging from some of the obvious auras he sensed, the current Xingyun Pavilion was definitely not weaker than the Tianming Sect, the Hua Sect and other sects, and it might even be stronger.

"Haha, I'm finally back."

When Xiao Yan's gaze swept across the star realm, the space behind him rippled, and then an old figure slowly emerged. It was Yao Lao.

"teacher."

Seeing Yao Lao, Xiao Yan quickly bowed and spoke respectfully.

"By the way, why are you the only one back? Could it be..."

Chapter 257 If It Was Uncle Master

"Well, that's true. It's a long story, but I think Miao will be fine over there."

After hearing what Yao Lao said, Xiao Yan also spoke hurriedly, but there was some uncertainty in his tone.

"Should? I said that he shouldn't be allowed to go alone."

Suddenly, a cold voice came from outside, which shocked the two people present.

At this time, Medusa flashed to the side of the two of them, with a cold look on her beautiful face. It was obvious that she was very dissatisfied with the news just heard, and there was even a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.

Looking at the appearance of Xiao Yan in front of him, Yao Chen could guess a little bit in his heart. He thought that he must have been detained by the girl from the ancient clan. However, despite this, the girl in front of him would not be so reasonable. Both of them couldn't help but break out in sweat.

Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he shook his head slightly, and Yao Lao also nodded slowly and said:

"Something must have happened in the northwest continent. We have already sent the elders of the Xingyun Pavilion there."

"what happened?"

Xiao Yan couldn't help but frown when he heard this. A place like the Northwestern Continent could not compare to Zhongzhou where there were so many powerful people. Although there were countless sects and empires there, they were always in a situation of conflict among themselves. Although there were some powerful forces that wanted to unify them, they could never achieve it. Moreover, the so-called powerful forces there were only at the level of first-class forces in Zhongzhou. In fact, they were not stronger than the Sifang Pavilion. Therefore, some forces and strong people in Zhongzhou did not pay too much attention to those places.

At this time, Yao Chen's words also attracted Medusa's attention. In the northwest continent, you know, her people are also there.

"Originally, there was no major unrest in the Northwest Continent. But a year ago, a sect called the Lion Nether Sect suddenly began a massive conquest. Wherever the sect's strongmen went, no one could defeat them. In less than half a year, nearly half of the Northwest Continent fell under the control of the Lion Nether Sect, and now it is heading towards the Gama Empire."

Yao Lao slowly landed on the top of a mountain and spoke softly.

"Lion Dark Sect? Are they very powerful?"

Xiao Yan frowned and said, although the Northwest Continent does not have as many hidden dragons and crouching tigers as the Central Plains, it is still an extremely vast area after all, and naturally there are many Dou Zun-level strongmen in it. It is unbelievable that one can occupy most of the Northwest Continent with the power of one sect.

"Although the Lion Nether Sect was originally ranked in the top ten in the Northwest Continent, it was not invincible. But this time, their strength has increased by leaps and bounds, and there are also many extremely powerful mysterious strongmen."

Yao Lao said calmly, and after seeing that Medusa's attention was attracted, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Is there another mysterious force interfering in the Northwest Continent?"

Xiao Yan was stunned. The forces and strong men in Zhongzhou always looked down on the continents other than Zhongzhou. Therefore, few forces would interfere in the affairs of these places. After all, there were all kinds of people there. Even if they could control them secretly, they would not gain much benefit. On the contrary, they might end up losing more than they gained.

"Soul Palace?"

Xiao Yan frowned slightly, and suddenly saw Yao Lao's solemn expression. His heart was moved and he asked tentatively.

"Hmm," Yao Lao nodded and said:

"According to the intelligence reported, many powerful soul palace masters have appeared in the Lion Nether Sect."

"Why would Soul Palace start a war in the northwest continent for no reason?"

"Collecting souls. The forces in Zhongzhou are complicated. Even the Soul Palace dare not start a war easily. But places like the Northwest Continent are different. With the power of the Soul Palace, it is enough to dominate a one-sided war. And they only need to show up afterward to get countless souls."

Yao Lao frowned and said.

"Why are they so eager to use this method to collect souls now? In the past, even if the Soul Palace collected souls, it was only done in secret. Something like this that directly triggered a war has never happened before."

Xiao Yan said with some doubt.

"The Soul Palace must have some conspiracy in collecting souls, but I don't know what it is. When they captured me, they just wanted me to join them. I know that they were attracted by my alchemy skills. All I can do is to refine pills. But with the profound strength of the Soul Palace master, I'm afraid that at least a ninth-grade pill would be of some benefit to him. But this kind of pill is not that easy to refine."

Yao Lao also sighed lightly and said.

Hearing Yao Lao's sigh, Xiao Yan felt heavy in his heart for some reason. Although he didn't know what the Soul Palace wanted to do, he was sure that they must be planning a huge conspiracy. Otherwise, who would have the time to collect so many souls? Moreover, their pace of collection had obviously accelerated recently. Could it be that they could no longer bear it?

"What on earth do the Soul Clan want to do?"

"The Northwest Continent is in chaos, and the Lion Underworld Sect continues to expand its territory. Wherever they go, those who disobey will be completely slaughtered and annihilated. This undoubtedly speeds up the collection of souls by the Dehun Palace, qualitatively If it’s not enough, they’re making up for it with volume.”

Xiao Yan’s face was gloomy. This damn Soul Palace was indeed never peaceful for a moment.

Yao Lao was not surprised by Xiao Yan's words. He nodded slightly and said:

"Well, when you go to the Jia Ma Empire this time, I will send some elders from the Xing Yun Pavilion who are above the Five-Star Dou Zun level to accompany you. They also know more intelligence than you do, so you can understand the situation in the northwest continent in advance. As for the Xing Yun Pavilion, I will be in charge of it myself, so as to avoid falling into the Soul Palace's trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain."

Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, and nodded. He had to go on this trip. Xiao Miao was now in Guzhu, and the Xiao family had settled down in the Jia Ma Empire. He was the only one who could go now, otherwise he would be worried.

"In that case, I will go there as well. I will think of a solution after I come back."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but nodded. This way, he would have an extra layer of insurance. Even with his current strength, he still felt a sense of danger standing in front of Medusa. You know, he has now reached the peak of the third level of Dou Zun, and Medusa has not yet broken through to the Dou Sheng level. Facing others, even if they are at the peak of Dou Zun, he is still confident that he can fight them and even defeat them. But he didn't have that feeling in front of Medusa.

"You should have a good rest today. I'm afraid you must be tired these days."

Yao Lao smiled. At this moment, he also felt that Xiao Yan's cultivation had improved a lot after he came back. It seemed that some strange energy in his body also surged. It seemed that he also had his own opportunity.

Xiao Yan did not refuse but nodded. Suddenly he remembered something and took out the jade slip given to him by Yao Xingji from his ring and handed it to Yao Lao: "This is the so-called pharmacopoeia invitation of the Yao Clan. They asked me to pass it to the teacher."

Hearing the word "pharmacopoeia", Yao Lao's palm trembled suddenly. Although the arc was very small, it still did not escape Xiao Yan's eyes.

Yao Lao stared at the jade slip for a long while before he took a deep breath. With a slightly trembling hand, he slowly took it and put it into his ring. He said softly, "Well, let's not worry about it for now. Let's deal with the matter of the Northwest Continent first."

"Ah."

Xiao Yan nodded slightly. Although Yao Lao did not show much emotion on the surface, he could feel that Yao Lao was not at peace in his heart.

"It seems that if this so-called pharmacopoeia is as Yao Xingji said, the teacher will not refuse it. It's just that I don't know what this pharmacopoeia is that can make the teacher so fluctuating."

Seeing Xiao Yan's twinkling eyes, Yao Lao just smiled slightly, without explaining the so-called pharmacopoeia. He gently patted Xiao Yan's shoulder and said with a smile: "Let's go, go back first and have a good rest. I'm sure you haven't had an easy time in the past six months. You should have had a good rest for a while."

Xiao Yan shook his head indifferently. After these years of experience, he had long been accustomed to this kind of running around. In order to protect something, one must pay a price. However, what made Xiao Yan slightly relieved was that he was no longer like before, requiring Yao Lao’s help to accomplish everything. Now, he was truly a first-class strong man who could stand on his own!

"Once I have built the space channel, you will be able to set off for the Northwest Continent. Haha, it has been many years since you left there. You have been wandering around in Zhongzhou all these years. Now it is time to go back and take a look."

Yao Lao said with a sigh, thinking back to when the two of them first met, the young man's cultivation was still so low, but now he has grown into a strong man.

After returning to Xingyun Pavilion, Xiao Yan's following days undoubtedly became much more leisurely. He stayed in the Star Realm all day long, and occasionally showed up to instruct the disciples of Xingyun Pavilion when he was free. However, with his current strength and reputation, let alone instructing these ordinary disciples, even some guest elders of Xingyun Pavilion might not be as experienced or knowledgeable as him.

In this leisurely environment, three days passed slowly, and the space wormhole constructed by Yao Lao gradually became perfect.

"drink!"

In a spacious training ground in the Star Realm, many disciples of the Xingyun Pavilion gathered here to practice and spar as they had to do every day. However, most of the attention in the training ground was focused on the center of the training ground. There, a young man in black clothes was smiling and pointing out some shortcomings of the surrounding disciples when they were performing fighting skills. His calm and relaxed appearance, which faintly showed the demeanor of a master, made many Xingyun Pavilion disciples envious from the bottom of their hearts.

In a corner of the training ground, a group of girls in tight clothes gathered together, giggling with each other. Their laughter was like wind chimes, which made some male disciples around them feel a little moved, and some of them couldn't help but cast their eyes over.

In the center of the group of girls, a girl in light red clothes stood gracefully. Her slender waist and long legs made her undoubtedly the most eye-catching person on the training ground. However, at this moment, the girl in red was looking indifferently at the smiling young man in black in the distance.

"Hehe, Junior Sister Youquan, are you finally moved?"

While this girl was looking at Xiao Yan, a girl next to her suddenly laughed and spoke.

Hearing this, the girl named Youquan's expression did not change much. She just looked a little helpless, and then shook her head lightly.

"Hehe, Junior Sister Youquan, you are the most talented person among the young generation of our Xingyun Pavilion. When you were tested, even the Pavilion Master was alarmed and came out. So although the status of the Young Pavilion Master is different, you should not feel inferior. But I heard that the Young Pavilion Master has a younger brother who is so beautiful, but it's a pity that we came late and have not seen what he looks like."

A young girl next to him smiled with her hands covering her mouth, but her tone sounded a little regretful.

"Nonsense, go practice!"

Youquan shook her head, but a hint of nostalgia flashed in her bright eyes. The words of the girl beside her just now made her think of a graceful figure in her mind. None of them, the new disciples who had just entered the pavilion, had seen her before, but she was an exception.

Previously, in a temple fair within the star realm, she had met an extremely handsome man. His appearance immediately captivated her soul, and he had been lingering in her mind ever since. However, at that time, he was accompanied by an extremely powerful white-haired woman.

Now, after making inquiries from many sources, he found out that the extremely handsome man he saw that day was none other than the mysterious and powerful figure in the Xingyun Pavilion, and also the younger brother of the young pavilion master. As for the white-haired woman that day, she was also a powerful figure in the pavilion, with unfathomable strength. The gap between them was undoubtedly as huge as heaven and earth, but this could not make him give up.

But unfortunately, Xiao Miao basically never showed up. Even when she was seen occasionally, he was always accompanied by several strong and beautiful women, leaving her no chance to approach and talk to him. Now she had no idea where he was.

"How about we ask the Young Pavilion Master for some pointers? Only by getting in touch with him can we have a chance. Otherwise, there will be no hope. But I heard that the Young Pavilion Master's brother has an even more terrifying talent. I don't know if it's true or not. If there is a chance, I really want to see it for myself."

A young girl instigated, obviously still thinking that Youquan beside her liked Xiao Yan who was not far away.

Hearing this, Youquan hesitated for a moment, and seemed to have thought of a way in his mind. He said hesitantly: "It's not appropriate. What if it disturbs the young pavilion master?"

"It's okay. Junior Sister is someone that our Xingyun Pavilion needs to focus on training. In order to strengthen Xingyun Pavilion, the Young Pavilion Master will definitely not mind the trouble.

On the training ground, Xiao Yan looked at the red-dressed girl in front of him who had a somewhat indifferent expression, but smiled slightly and said:

"Your name is Youquan, right? I heard the teacher mention you before."

While saying this, Xiao Yan also looked at the girl in front of him.

A girl who is not even seventeen years old, is at the prime of her youth, but Youquan has already stepped into the level of Dou Wang!

Her achievements at this age are extremely outstanding even in Central China. If she is given enough time, her achievements will probably be quite terrifying.

"No wonder the teacher reminded me so emphatically. If he hadn't made up his mind not to accept any more disciples, I'm afraid Youquan would still be his junior sister."

Xiao Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and he finally understood what Yao Lao had told him a few days ago regarding the Youquan. However, he didn't know that the girl in front of him came here for another purpose.

"Young Master, can I take some time to give me some advice?"

"Practice it."

Xiao Yan smiled slightly and said softly.
