Xiao Yan quickly stood up, gave a grateful fist to the fourth elder, and said solemnly: "Four elders, please rest assured, it is Xiao Yan's blessing to have Mu'er to accompany him for the rest of his life. Xiao Yan hereby expresses his sincere gratitude to his eldest brother.
I promised the three elders that I, Xiao Yan, will never leave Mu'er in this life. If I disobey this promise, Xiao Yan will surely die young with thousands of arrows piercing his heart!"
'Little liar...'
Qing Mu'er looked up at Xiao Yan, tears welling up in her eyes and falling down her cheeks, breaking into happy splashes on the ground.
"Well, I'll feel relieved if you say this." A little satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and the fourth elder finally smiled, "On the big day, I'm still here chirping, which ruins everyone's fun. Come on, hurry up and get engaged."
The ceremony has been held, I want to have a few drinks with everyone!"
…
Xiao Yan and Qing Muer held hands, bowed to Qing Haoran and Xiao Yao respectively, and then exchanged engagement tokens.
Xiao Yan's engagement token to Qing Mu'er was a heavenly bloodstone ring that Zhen Ni specially helped to select. It was fiery red and resembled Qing Mu'er's fiery personality.
Qing Muer's engagement token to Xiao Yan was a strand of Qing Muer's black hair tied with a red rope; and an eight-star magic core. The eight-star magic core was specially prepared by Qing Haoran for Xiao Yan. He thought
For Xiao Yan, strength is the most important thing.
The engagement ceremony of Xiao Yan and Qing Muer came to a successful conclusion amidst the joy and beautiful blessings.
…………
The grass is green and the sun is rising.
Wangxiang Town.
To the west of Wangxiang Town is a leafy maple forest.
In the deepest part of the maple forest, there is an emerald green lake.
In the center of the lake, there is a spiritual platform about ten meters high. This spiritual platform is called 'Gao Jing Ming Yue Platform'. It was specially built by an Eight-Star Dou Emperor named Gao Jing before the ancient catastrophe to facilitate communication with his lover.
Hole.
This wormhole just leads to the Medicine Clan’s ‘Path of Seeking Medicine’. During the peak period of the Medicine Clan, it was used by countless people seeking medicine. As a result, Wangxiang Town was very prosperous for a while with people coming and going.
With the decline of the Yao Clan, few people care about Gaojing Mingyue Platform. In addition, there have been no major events in Wangxiang Town for many years. Over time, Wangxiang Town, which was once bustling and famous, has gradually been forgotten by people.
Deserted and depressed, it is now just an ordinary rural town. It is rare for outsiders to come. Occasionally, they are traders passing by.
Today, a young man in black robe came to Wangxiang Town.
Most of the passing vendors were dressed in black robes, so the local residents thought that this young man in black robes was also a vendor.
But this young man in black robe is not a merchant. He is Xiao Yan.
On the second day of his engagement to Qing Muer, while chatting with everyone, Xiao Yan learned about the wormhole 'Gao Jing Ming Yue Platform' from Xiao Zhan, and then he had a way to deal with the Shadow Alliance assassins and the Dan Palace assassins.
Specific ideas.
He knew that as soon as he left the Xiao Mansion, someone would be following him. He used his plan to arrive at Wangxiang Town in secret. He believed that the assassins from the Shadow League and the Dan Palace would be able to guess where he was going.
place and set up an ambush in advance.
It was a rural place with fresh air, so I stayed in the simplest small hotel. After sleeping until midnight, Xiao Yan felt refreshed.
‘The ambush should have been set up. Don’t let me down.’ Xiao Yan smiled contentedly.
In the face of powerful enemies, Xiao Yan can still remain calm, even with a cat-and-mouse mentality, not only because he has broken through to the sixth star, but also because Long Yi is hiding in the Zichen Void Spirit Tower and can come out at any time to give the enemy an unexpected attack.
The fatal blow was also because he had the invisibility card he got from Soul Shadow Jue.
After taking off his black robe and putting on a black outfit, Xiao Yan turned over and jumped out of the window, escaping towards the Gao Jingming Platform.
…………
The moon is dark and the wind is high, it must be a murderous night.
It is a sparsely populated place and is the most popular place for killing people.
Obviously, the vast maple forest west of Wangxiang Town is such a place.
There is only one road from Wangxiang Town to Gaojingming Platform. This is a forest trail that cuts through the entire maple forest. Follow the trail to the west for about 20 kilometers, and you will see a lake with a wooden bridge built on it.
Directly leading to the tall mirror platform in the middle of the lake.
Standing at the entrance of the path into the maple forest, looking around the deep woods, Xiao Yan gathered his energy and released the power of his soul.
With his current soul power in the middle stage of mind level, a single thought can quickly cover the entire maple forest. But he controlled the power of his soul and gradually penetrated into the depths of the maple forest along the path.
Carefully explore the dense forests on both sides.
There is very likely to be a high-level alchemist among the people in the Alchemy Palace, and the power of the soul is not weak. If they are discovered, the result will be in vain.
However, contrary to Xiao Yan's expectation, he only detected fluctuations in the fighting spirit of three people deep in the maple forest.
‘Why are there only three people? It shouldn’t be!”
'The person hiding in the woods on the right has a slightly stronger fighting spirit than me, and should be in the mid-six-star stage. The one hiding on the left is about the same level as the one on the right, so he should be in the middle stage of six-star stage.
The Dou Qi fluctuations are stronger, and they should be in the late six-star stage. According to the inferences of Zhen Ni and Big Brother, these three people should be the killers of the Shadow Alliance."
Xiao Yan couldn't help but wonder: 'Where are the people from the Dan Palace? Logically speaking, it is impossible for the Dan Palace not to inquire about my whereabouts! Do they have no intention of sending anyone to kill me again?"
After thinking hard to no avail, Xiao Yan once again released the power of his soul to increase the scope of the investigation. However, after another round of careful investigation, the result was still the same as before.
‘Perhaps it’s because the Shadow League is not as professional as the Shadow League in its ability to track and organize assassinations, so I didn’t arrive here in time to set up an ambush. Whatever the case, only the Shadow League is more to my liking. Let’s deal with these three Shadow League members first.”
Having made up his mind, Xiao Yan ducked into the maple forest.
…………
Waiting quietly is the most boring and boring thing, but professionalism can make the killer hide as motionless as a rock.
Under a maple tree on the right side of the avenue, a middle-aged man wearing a black suit and a black mask with only two eyes exposed was patiently hiding among the weeds more than one meter high.
His eyes were fixed on the path from the direction of Wangxiang Town.
His name is Xue Wuji, and he is a six-star mid-level Dou Emperor who is good at using guns. He has sharp shooting skills and unique body skills. With the same strength, few people can get away with being attacked by him.
'Damn Xiao Yan, no matter what your methods are, if you dare to appear in front of me, I will definitely let you know what it means to shoot out a gun like a dragon and seal the throat with one shot!"
He was very unhappy. A mere four-star peak Dou Emperor had barely broken through to five stars at most. The superiors actually sent a six-star late-stage Dou Emperor plus him and another mid-term six-star Dou Emperor. Even if Xiao Yan was killed,
He also felt it was a shame.
Just as he was thinking this, suddenly, a purple-red flame suddenly streaked down from the sky above Xue Wuji's head. (To be continued...)
