Elder Yan Xiao, what kind of medicinal herbs are we supposed to collect this time?
On the lush, verdant country road, Lin Xiuya finally couldn't help but ask.
Nearly three days had passed, and the group had traveled thousands of miles, but Elder Yan Xiao had never mentioned what kind of herbs they were supposed to collect.
"Haven't I told you several times already? This time, the task is simply to pick whatever herbs you see that look good."
Hearing him ask again, Xiao Yan said impatiently.
"But what kind of herbs can be considered good herbs?"
Lin Xiuya was speechless. They had indeed seen several good herbs along the way, one of which was even the main ingredient for refining fifth-grade or even sixth-grade pills.
For this one herb, the group had fought a fierce battle with a fifth-tier magical beast, until Han Yue was almost attacked, at which point Xiao Yan casually flicked out a wisp of Dou Qi to defeat the beast.
However, when these students presented the medicinal herbs and magic cores to Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan's expression was completely indifferent.
This left the students even more confused.
"If you can't make a judgment, then lie down on the ostrich and sleep. You won't be shortchanged on your rewards when you get back."
Seeing the students' idle appearance, Xiao Yan said somewhat speechlessly.
He couldn't directly tell these guys that they came out here just to cover for him.
"But..." Lin Xiuya wanted to say something, but Xiao Yan directly chased him away.
"Elder Yan Xiao." At this moment, Han Yue's figure also appeared in front of Xiao Yan.
He was still wearing a silver robe, and his cold and aloof appearance made Xiao Yan's eyes light up.
"Yue'er, what's wrong?"
Seeing Xiao Yan's concerned appearance, Lin Xiuya suddenly felt a pang of heartache.
"Are we... really nothing going to happen on this mission?"
Han Yue spoke more easily than Lin Xiuya and the others, after all, Xiao Yan had always been very good to her.
"It's alright, you can all do whatever you want. If you have nothing to do, cultivate, sleep. As long as you don't get lost, do whatever you want."
Xiao Yan sat lazily on a large futon, with a giant ostrich, a full three zhang tall, beneath him.
Such a mount was extremely suitable for traveling through forests and mountains.
"Alright." Seeing Xiao Yan's nonchalant attitude, Han Yue thought that his purpose for this trip was probably just as everyone guessed—to relax?
Just as she was about to leave, two or three blood-red figures appeared at the end of the path in the distance.
Upon seeing these two or three blood-red figures, Han Yue's expression changed, but before she could react,
a dense crowd of people dressed in blood-red clothing emerged from the surrounding forest. Looking around, there were probably over a hundred people.
The appearance of these people not only startled Han Yue, but also caused Lin Xiuya and the others to change their expressions, jumping off their ostriches and preparing for battle.
Because they keenly observed that the weakest among these figures clad in blood-red robes possessed an aura at the peak of the Great Dou Master level.
The two strongest even reached the Dou Wang level.
"They're from the Blood Sect!" Sensing the bloody and chilling aura emanating from these individuals, Han Yue and the others' expressions changed drastically.
While this force wasn't considered top-tier in the Black Corner Region, it was infamous, given that the Blood Sect's techniques used the blood of others as nourishment—
extremely cruel and bloody.
Thinking of this, everyone's gaze turned to Xiao Yan, who sat atop the ostrich.
They had a rough estimate of Xiao Yan's strength. Although these people appeared powerful, even an ordinary Dou Huang would suffer considerable injury in a direct confrontation.
However, Xiao Yan was at the peak of the Dou Huang level, and dealing with these guys shouldn't be a problem for him. But judging from Xiao Yan's nonchalant demeanor, he seemed to have no intention of attacking.
Could it be that Elder Yan Xiao is using these guys as training?
Even Lin Xiuya, the strongest among them, couldn't help but shudder at the thought.
Even though they were all elites among the Dou Ling, facing so many people, they would likely die.
Could Elder Yan Xiao really be that ruthless?
Just as he was thinking this, a blood-red figure suddenly burst out of the forest like a blood-dripping eagle, finally landing on the treetop of a tall tree.
This person had an aged and gloomy face, with an eerie pale complexion.
Just by appearing, the overwhelming bloody aura emanating from him caused the faces of many students to change drastically.
"Not good, it's Blood Sect Master Fan Lao!"
This person's fearsome reputation was among the top in the Black Corner Region among all the Dou Huang powerhouses.
Perhaps in terms of strength, he wouldn't even rank in the top ten of the Black List, but in terms of cruelty, he was certainly in the top three.
After Fan Lao appeared, he flashed over the group of students, a cruel smile appearing on his lips.
"My precious son was murdered because of someone from your Canaan Academy."
Fan Lao looked at the pale faces of the students, his cruel smile growing even stronger.
"I heard that the murderer even became an elder in your Canaan Academy. If I don't avenge this, how can I, Fan Lao, ever face anyone in the Black Corner Region again?"
Saying this, he casually waved his hand and said, "Break the limbs of the men and take them back to the sect as blood slaves. Capture the women alive."
Before he could finish speaking, the Blood Sect's henchmen all revealed evil smiles.
Look at these young people in front of them, how young they are, how vigorous their blood is, especially the female students.
But for some reason, after hearing Fan Lao's words, these students were no longer afraid. Instead, they all looked at the young man lying on the ostrich.
"Elder Yan Xiao, they've come looking for you." The usually aloof Han Yue spoke up, looking at Xiao Yan, "With so many enemies, you can't bear to watch us go to our deaths, can you?"
Her expression unusually pitiful, causing Xiao Yan, sitting on the ostrich, to catch a glimpse of her vulnerability.
Fan Lao, upon hearing the students' address to Xiao Yan, paled, his dark eyes suddenly sharpening as he stared intently at him.
"You're Yan Xiao!"
Seeing Fan Lao's murderous expression, Xiao Yan calmly stood up, looking at Fan Lao with a faint smile, "That's right, I'm Yan Xiao, the one who killed your son. What do you want with me?"
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Fan Lao's already cold face contorted into a ferocious expression.
"Still so arrogant even on the verge of death! I'll sever your limbs and throw you into a pool of blood to torture you day and night, making you wish you were dead!"
"Heh, your son said the same thing."
Xiao Yan maintained his cheerful demeanor, then added with a flippant tone,
"But in the end, I spat him to death."
Hearing this, Fan Lao staggered, unable to contain himself any longer.
A surge of rage rushed to his head.
"Aaaaaaah!"
"I'll kill you!"
