The moon is like a silver plate, and the sky is filled with stars.
By the time Xiao Yan and his party exited the auction house, more than a few hours had passed since the beginning. Shuyang City, which was bustling with activity during the day, was slightly deserted at this time. Even so, people in the city could still be seen.
There are many lights, and some neighborhoods are still lively as usual.
Xiao Yan stood under the cunning moonlight, looking at the countless stars above his head, and hesitated for a long time.
Unexpectedly, even with the joint efforts of Ouyang Miao and Annan, the Thousand-Sealed Ruler ended up in the hands of Zhao Jin. One thousand high-grade spiritual stones, this is indeed a terrifying number that makes people stop.
"Still thinking about what happened just now?"
Ouyang Miao came up from behind and patted Xiao Yan's shoulder to comfort him.
The latter shook his head and gave a wry smile. Now that the matter has come to this, what can be done? The scroll of Thousand Sealing Rulers is already in Zhao Jin's bag. There is no way he can snatch it away. Even if he really has the intention, I'm afraid he won't be able to.
strength.
"How about... let's go and intercept him. There are many of us, and with the Brahma Sword here, we might be able to capture him."
Ouyang Miao's eyes flickered, staring at Xiao Yan, and said.
On the side, Fan Jian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, and looked at the former with a strange expression, while Xiao Yan shook his head and said:
"In the end, this is my own business. Even if I take action, I should do it myself. Besides, you are members of the Ouyang family. Once you take action against Zhao Jin here, the situation will be unfavorable to you, so let's avoid it."
"Now what?"
Ouyang Miao nodded imperceptibly, and then said softly.
"Go back. There is no need to stay here anymore. I just wonder, brother Ouyang, if you are willing to go to the Xiao clan with me?"
Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, then immediately glanced at the former. When Ouyang Miao saw this, he was slightly startled, paused, and finally shook his head and laughed.
"I think it's better to forget it. There are dissatisfaction among the three major clans. Even if you lead the way? The elders of the Xiao clan will never let me enter the Xiao clan. Besides, this will easily cause trouble for you? Since you want to return to the clan, then I
Is it time to leave and return? If there is a chance, we can talk about it next time we meet."
As he said that, Ouyang Miao hugged Xiao Yan and others in front of him and hugged his fists heavily. Xiao Yan and others smiled back. Then the two of them turned around and walked towards the other end of the street under the moonlight. Waiting for two seconds
When the people walked nearly a hundred feet away, Xiao Yan from behind suddenly shouted:
"Brother Ouyang, what you said before? Is it also a temptation? If I ask you to take action just for my own selfish desires, what will you do to me?"
In the distance, Ouyang Miao's figure suddenly paused and turned around. No one could clearly see his face at this moment.
"Brother Xiao? Just remember that from now on, you and I are as close as brothers. If the Xiao clan really can't keep you, I will never break my promise!"
After saying this, Ouyang Miao no longer hesitated, and with a single movement, he and the Brahma sword beside him quickly disappeared at the end of the street. Xiao Yan stood quietly at the same place, while Annan next to him had a stunned look on his face. Ouyang Miao
Any discerning person would be able to understand the meaning of these words. He could not have imagined that even the Ouyang family would be so optimistic about the man in front of him. Today's trip was truly worthy of his words!
After sending Ouyang Miao away, Xiao Yan and his three friends followed and separated from everyone in the An family. Although the latter wanted to invite Xiao Yan to his house as a guest, Xiao Yan knew that Xiao Xuan was still waiting for news from them, so
He just refused to go.
When a group of three people rushed all the way and came to the archway in front of the Xiao clan, here, a few people unexpectedly met Xiao Tian who had also rushed back. When the two sides met, their expressions were naturally not good.
Go, but just as Xiao Tian took the last step into the arch, his words came slowly and fell into Xiao Yan's ears.
"I advise you to be mentally prepared."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan and Bai Hua looked at each other and frowned slightly in confusion. Then they stopped thinking about it and quickly passed through the arch and rushed to their residence.
When a few people returned to the attic, Xiao Xuan was still waiting for them in the hall. When Xiao Xuan saw Xiao Yan and the others coming back, Xiao Xuan immediately showed a smile on his face, got up and stepped forward to greet them, and asked with a smile:
"what's the result?"
"It went pretty well."
Xiao Yan smiled, and after everyone sat down, he roughly explained what happened during the day. The latter also nodded repeatedly after hearing this, although it was not difficult to tell from Xiao Yan's words that
It was a bit thrilling, but fortunately, they came back safely and smoothly, and brought back Sumeru grass, which made them even more surprised.
"Haha, okay, as long as everything goes well, I didn't expect that the Imperial Seal Art of the ancient clan would reappear on this continent, and it would even be more powerful than before. If you can get it, it will be a big deal.
You must take good care of your good fortune. As for the fighting skills, there are gains and losses in everything. If you can't get it, let it go and don't worry about it."
Xiao Xuan put down the teacup in his hand and smiled.
Xiao Yan nodded, and then mentioned the meeting with Yunyin Pavilion in Shuyang City today. He had not understood this until this moment. The Ouyang family, which is also one of the three major clans, is just like this for ordinary visitors.
If you are so cautious, why can Yunyin Pavilion have a place under the rule of the Xiao clan?
"Haha, those rules and obstacles that you think will naturally cease to exist driven by interests. Yunyin Pavilion is a family force founded by Tianyun Villa. According to Tianyun Villa's status on the mainland, normal
Under such circumstances, the Xiao Clan will never allow it to install forces under its rule, but you also know that Tianyun Villa has the most abundant array master resources in the continent, whether it is array disks or related ancient scrolls, or even
They are some unique secret techniques. As long as there are these things as the price, naturally no one will stop them. On the contrary, the power of Yunyin Pavilion will still be protected by the Xiao clan within a certain range. Even if you meet today
The Zhao family cannot touch him easily."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan suddenly understood. Xiao Xuan smiled slightly and continued:
"This kind of thing not only includes Yunyin Pavilion, but also other forces. If you want to take root in the Xiao Clan's sphere of influence, you must pay a corresponding price. And this kind of thing is not just for the Xiao Clan, the three major clans and
The two major sects, and even Danta, will do the same thing. The purpose is simply to absorb the advantages of other forces, so as to continuously strengthen themselves and maintain their transcendent status. As for other things, you have to do it yourself.
I found it and experienced it.”
After hearing these words, Xiao Yan couldn't help but take a deep breath. Although he had established a force in the Dou Qi Continent, he had never been exposed to this kind of thing. Now when he heard what Xiao Xuan said, he felt like
Understand, it turns out that there are so many intricate relationships between these so-called superpowers.
