At the east gate of the "Ghost Town Pass", a young man in gray robe slowly walked out and stood outside the moat. He looked at the mountains in the distance, and then turned his head to look at the border of the Gama Empire.
This is the last city in the world. After leaving here, he will truly be free to fly. The outside world will definitely be more exciting than this empire...
Taking a deep breath, he finally stopped feeling nostalgic and strode towards the distance. His thin back slowly disappeared at the end of the avenue.
About half an hour after the gray-robed young man disappeared, some black energy suddenly appeared strangely in the sky above the "Gui Zhen Pass". This black energy lingered in the sky, as if it had spirituality and was like a ghost.
The black air lingered in the sky above the "Gui Zhen Pass" in the direction where Xiao Yan had previously fought for a while, and then suddenly drifted away towards the place where Xiao Yan left, leaving a faint black mark wherever it passed along the way.
On the lush forest road, there is silence and silence. Only the soft chirping of birds on the branches adds a little life to this empty road.
"Teacher...what did you just say?" After walking quietly for a long time, Xiao Yan finally couldn't help the doubts in his heart and called out in a low voice.
Nearly two minutes after Xiao Yan spoke, there was a low sigh. Yao Lao smiled bitterly and murmured: "Oh, I didn't expect that these guys exist near the Jiama Empire... There are very few of them.
You came here, why this time..."
Yao Lao's low murmur made Xiao Yan confused, and he could only ask cautiously: "Who are the "those guys" the teacher mentioned?"
Hearing Xiao Yan's question, Yao Lao fell into silence. But seeing Yao Lao's appearance, Xiao Yan was startled and did not continue to ask. He frowned slightly and continued to follow the road pointed on the map.
As I walked towards the "Black Corner Domain", I felt a little uneasy in my heart.
"Little guy, I originally wanted to tell you these things when you become stronger, but now they discovered my whereabouts unexpectedly, and my original plan was shattered... If you want to know
If so, then I can only inform you in advance." Yao Lao, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "But I have to remind you in advance that the power involved behind this matter is really too great, far from a sect like Yunlan Sect.
It can be compared, even I find it extremely difficult, are you sure you want to know now?"
Xiao Yan's palms trembled inadvertently, his throat rolled slowly and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. His walking pace also gradually stopped, and he stood quietly on the spot. He had a hunch that what Yao Lao said next might be...
His previous peaceful and unhurried days will be gone in an instant.
Following his silence, Yao Lao did not speak anymore, but it seemed that Xiao Yan felt a faint sense of disappointment, seeping out from the ring in his hand...
The silence lasted for nearly five or six minutes. Xiao Yan suddenly let out a long breath, raised his head, looked through the gaps in the leaves, towards the blue sky, rubbed the black ring with his fingers, and said softly
: "Tell me, teacher, although I don't know how strong the forces involved are, but I just want to say one thing... I am your apprentice, and you gave me this ability.
.”
"Haha, good, good! My Yao Chen's eyes are finally not blind for the second time! Haha!"
After Xiao Yan's voice fell, Yao Lao fell into silence. After a while, two words "good" in succession, with a heavy trembling accent, rang in Xiao Yan's heart. Because of his excitement, he was in front of Xiao Yan for the first time.
He said this name that was once famous throughout the Dou Qi Continent!
Although Xiao Yan's words were plain and indifferent, they came from the heart. Yao Lao, who had always been calm and calm, was almost moved to tears. He had been betrayed by the person he trusted most. He had experienced that before.
The pain almost penetrated to the bone marrow, but fortunately, this time, his miscalculated eyes finally did not make the same mistake again!
"Yao Chen...is this the teacher's former name..." Xiao Yan was chanting that unfamiliar name in his mind, but his attention stopped on another sentence: "I won't be blind a second time.
..That means...I was blind once. Alas, it seems that the teacher's past was quite rough..."
"Little guy, I have told you before that the Dou Qi Continent is very big, and there are many strong people in it. Even Yunshan, who is considered the strongest person in the Jiama Empire, has arrived in the continent.
I have to restrain my arrogance, because here, there are many people who are stronger than him..." There was a slight desolation in Yao Lao's slow tone, which attracted Xiao Yan's spirit so that he did not dare to be distracted in the slightest.
"Because of this huge area, it has also created a lot of weird forces, and among them, there is a mysterious force called the "Soul Palace". Although this force is spread over almost half of the continent, and there are only similar...
In a country like the Mar Empire, which is quite far away from the center of the continent, they have rarely appeared just now, but there are not many people on this continent who know about their existence..."
"Soul Palace?" Xiao Yan murmured the name and whispered: "Did the teacher notice their whereabouts at the Ghost Suppression Pass earlier?"
"Hmm..." Yao Lao smiled bitterly and nodded, saying: "This "Soul Palace" is extremely powerful and mysterious, and its behavior is also very weird. Even I don't know much about them, but they are generally not right.
When normal people take action, their targets are those "living souls" who have died because of their physical bodies, but their souls are extremely powerful... As an alchemist, you should also know that after the power of the soul reaches a certain limit, even the body
Destroyed, but the soul can still survive, looking for opportunities to be resurrected again, and for this kind of soul, they call it: "Living Soul"!"
"You mean teacher, right?" Xiao Yan pursed his lips and said softly.
"Yeah." Yao Lao grunted, and then his voice suddenly became filled with anger and gloom: "They are like soul scavengers on the mainland. Any powerful soul that has left the body will be sensed by them.
, and then sent people to intercept and kill them mysteriously. I don’t know why they specifically targeted the soul body... But they seemed to have special restraint methods on the soul. After my body was damaged, not long after I was attacked by them,
During the siege, although I managed to get out successfully in the end, I was seriously injured as a result. Fortunately, when I was refining elixirs for others, I was lucky enough to get some extremely rare "soul-warming and spiritual-warming pills". In the end,
Ask someone to refine this thing into the black ring in your hand, and it is precisely because of this that I escaped their killing. In the end, the ring went around and fell into your mother's hand, and was finally passed on to your mother.
Got you."
Xiao Yan took a deep breath. With Yao Lao's strength, he was being chased and fled in all directions. How powerful is that mysterious "soul palace"?
"The "Soul Palace" has special means to deal with souls, so even I can't fight them with my soul alone." Yao Lao said in a low voice: "The reason why I want to be resurrected as soon as possible is actually because I am afraid of them.
Moreover, I also have some things and grudges that must be clarified and resolved!"
Xiao Yan nodded silently.
"Little guy, you don't have to think about how to help me. You are too weak now... I am optimistic about your potential. As long as I give you enough time, you will definitely become a true peak powerhouse. But now,
You must become stronger! Otherwise, once those guys come, your life may be in danger!" Yao Lao said slowly.
Xiao Yan's face gradually became serious, his fists were clenched, and he said solemnly: "Teacher, I will get the "Falling Heart Flame" as soon as possible, and then refine a body for you, so that you will no longer be threatened by the "Soul Palace"."
"Oh, I can only rely on you..." Yao Lao sighed softly, and then mused: "Luckily I retracted the ring quickly, otherwise, I'm afraid they would have locked the position, but
Now that they have sensed it, I think the number of people in the "Soul Palace" in these places will gradually increase in the future. Therefore, in the future, you may have to rely on yourself for many problems. Otherwise, if I appear again and I am targeted by them,
Both of our lives would be in danger."
"Yes." Xiao Yan nodded heavily. The heart that had been relaxed because of leaving the Jia Ma Empire suddenly became tense. Now, although there is no threat from the Yunlan Sect, there is a new one.
The more terrifying big guy... cannot tolerate being treated carelessly, and as Yao Lao said, he is too weak now. With this strength, let alone wanting to protect Yao Lao from being "soul palace"
If he were captured, even a Yunlan Sect would be able to drive him away like a lost dog.
"If I don't have strength, I'm just so powerless. I can't do anything..." Xiao Yan breathed out lightly and clenched his fists. At this moment, he once again felt the same feeling in front of him three years ago in the Xiao family hall.
Facing Nalan Yanran’s powerlessness and desire for strength!
"Power! I need power!"
He roared fiercely in his heart. Under the pressure of the mysterious soul palace, Xiao Yan imposed his most urgent need on himself at the moment!
"In that case, let's fly directly to Canaan College. We can't stay any longer along the way." Xiao Yan took out a map from the Najie, looked at it carefully for a long time, and followed the red line with his fingers.
Moving, he stopped at a large dark area on the map. Finally, his finger passed through the dark area and stopped at a blue star in its center.
His shoulders trembled slightly, and the Ziyun Wings slowly rose out from behind. Xiao Yan flapped his wings, and his body rose into the air. He clearly identified his position, and finally turned into a stream of light and disappeared on the east side of the sky...
With the disappearance of Xiao Yan, the world fell into silence again. About two or three hours later, a wisp of black mist suddenly flew from the distant sky, and finally hovered in the area where Xiao Yan had stayed.
A low and confused sound came from the black mist. It hesitated for a moment, and finally flew in the opposite direction of Xiao Yan's flight.
