Chapter 312: The Three Year Promise Xiao Yan Has Arrived as Promised!
The black robed man lowered his head slightly, his appearance completely concealed under the hood. His entire face remained hidden, revealing not even a sliver of skin. Even his hands were covered with pitch black gloves, ensuring that not a single inch of his body was exposed. His mysterious aura made him seem like an unfathomable existence, impossible to gauge.
"Yan Xiao?"
For the people of the Jia Ma Empire, this name was completely unfamiliar. No one could recall ever hearing of such a powerful figure within the empire. Even the intelligence networks of Yun Lan Sect and the Snake People Tribe had no record of him.
"You're not from the Jia Ma Empire?"
Yun Hai carefully examined the black robed man who called himself Yan Xiao. Suddenly, as if realizing something, his expression shifted, and he spoke in a shocked tone.
"I'm naturally not from the Jia Ma Empire," the black robed man chuckled. "But tell me, who decided that outsiders are forbidden from entering this country?"
His words carried a teasing undertone, making it impossible to discern his true intentions. If he wasn't from the Jia Ma Empire, why had he suddenly appeared? What was his purpose?
These questions ran through the minds of everyone present. His arrival was far too strange.
Of course, no one there could possibly recognize who he truly was.
However, if Wu Tian, the Guardian Spirit, were present, he would immediately know his identity.
This "Yan Xiao" truly wasn't from the Jia Ma Empire. In fact, he wasn't even originally from the Dou Qi Continent.
Because he, like Wu Tian, was a traveler from another world.
Yes this was Xiao Yan.
The same Xiao Yan who had endured three years of humiliation when his Dou Qi mysteriously vanished.
The same Xiao Yan who had suffered another three years of disgrace after being rejected by Nalan Yanran.
The same Xiao Yan who had then faced another three years of torment as he was hunted down by Yun Lan Sect.
Damn.
Now that I think about it, Xiao Yan's life has been pretty tragic…
Poor guy.
…Wait.
No.
He deserved it.
Tch.
Now, in this vast continent, two men from another world had unknowingly crossed paths one was Wu Tian, the other was Xiao Yan.
And while Wu Tian had ensured that his "dear old friend" never had to worry about women, so that he could focus solely on training, Xiao Yan had spent his years bitterly cultivating, obsessed with revenge.
Now, much like Wu Tian and Queen Medusa, Xiao Yan had returned as a king.
However, unlike Wu Tian, his strength was not truly at the Dou Huang level.
The aura he currently exuded was merely the borrowed power of his teacher, Yao Chen.
For the sake of his "good disciple," Yao Chen had gone to great lengths even at the risk of his own soul, he had emerged once more to help Xiao Yan make his grand entrance.
With Yao Chen's protection, the Hall of Souls would not be able to easily track him down.
And because of this, after hearing that his father had been captured and the Xiao Clan had been destroyed, Xiao Yan dared to return.
Though he had little affection for Xiao Zhan, who had once cast him out, he still held some concern for the Xiao Clan or rather, for certain individuals within it.
Most notably, there were three women that Xiao Yan had no intention of leaving behind
Xiao Xun'er.
Xiao Yu.
Xiao Mei.
These three delicate beauties there was no way he would let them go.
Especially that damn Xiao Xun'er…
She had betrayed him.
She had chosen that bastard Wu Tian.
His hatred burned fiercely.
Xiao Yan had already made up his mind he would take back Xun'er, and he would humiliate her beneath him, forcing her to beg for mercy right in front of Wu Tian!
…
Too bad.
What Xiao Yan didn't know was that Xun'er and Wu Tian's relationship had already progressed far beyond what he imagined.
In fact…
Even Wu Tian himself had already experienced her beneath him.
Multiple times.
Now, aside from these three women, there were two other people in the Xiao Clan whom Xiao Yan cared for his two older cousins.
It was thanks to them that he had found New Desert City.
It was thanks to them that he had returned.
And now
Xiao Yan had come back.
After three years, he had finally returned as promised.
Three Year Agreement.
I, Xiao Yan, have arrived as promised!
If my family is gone…
Then I will bury them all in return!
Staring at the mysterious Dou Huang before him, Yun Hai took a deep breath, his brow furrowed. He cupped his hands and spoke in a deep voice:
"Sir, the Jia Ma Empire does not forbid outsiders from entering. However…"
"Today's conflict is between Yun Lan Sect and the Snake People Tribe. I ask that you do not interfere. Should you comply, Yun Lan Sect will welcome you as an honored guest after this matter is resolved."
"While we have not left the empire for many years, we have always been hospitable to visiting powerhouses."
"HAHAHA! You sure know how to talk," Xiao Yan sneered. "Unfortunately…"
He turned his gaze to the city below, his expression growing fierce and menacing.
"Unfortunately, my family is in New Desert City."
"Anyone who dares to harm them… must die."
Yun Hai's expression darkened, his lips twitching as a flash of murderous intent crossed his eyes.
"Sir, I don't know who you are, but opposing Yun Lan Sect is not a wise decision."
Xiao Yan's eyes gleamed with green and gold light as he chuckled.
"Yun Lan Sect? A second rate sect at best."
"Do you think you deserve to speak to me as an equal?"
"Yun Lan Sect has been ruined by pathetic frogs like you. Back when Yun Potian reigned, it was a name that commanded respect. But after all his hard work, you fools are about to destroy everything he built!"
Yun Hai's face darkened further.
What this mysterious man said was true.
But the future was already set Yun Lan Sect would rise again.
Anyone who stood in their way would be eliminated.
"Enough!" Yun Hai roared, his expression turning twisted and sinister.
At that moment, his white robe began to emit a faint black mist.
The fog spread, engulfing the entire sky above New Desert City.
Within it, a massive skull slowly formed.
"Yun Hai, you really are useless," a sinister voice echoed from within the skull.
"If you can't even capture the Xiao Clan, I'll handle it myself."
The giant skull's glowing eyes turned toward Yan Xiao.
Then, from its gaping mouth, a chilling, eerie laughter rang out:
"Jie jie jie jie… What luck! Yao Zun zhe… You've walked right into our trap!"
Xiao Yan's expression hardened.
"Soul Hall…"
From deep within his robes, Yao Chen's soul trembled in fear.
"You damn disciple… You've doomed me!"
…
At that moment, everyone fell silent.
A single thought ran through their minds.
A… Dou Zun?
A Dou Zun level powerhouse… had appeared in the Jia Ma Empire?!
Was this… the end of the world?
