By the way, Yun Yun, wait a moment—I almost forgot the real reason I came to see you. This book's first release, Tracker Novel Tool, daily novel reading, tt. tw super smooth, providing you with flawless chapters, no disordered chapters reading experience.
Flapping the purple cloud wings behind him, Xiao Yan hovered in midair, calling out to the graceful figure flying ahead.
"What's wrong?" As if she had already forgotten everything that happened in the cave earlier, Yun Yun replied in the tone they first met, turning her head calmly. She responded to Xiao Yan.
"You forgot? Yanran is still trapped in the Life and Death Gate, and I haven't yet given you the earth-tier martial technique I promised! It's perfect—we haven't met up with Hai Bo Dong yet, otherwise it'll get troublesome later." Xiao Yan reminded her.
At this moment, the two had already been out of the cave for a while, heading toward the agreed meeting point with Hai Bo Dong.
"You're right, there really is such a matter." After hearing Xiao Yan's reminder, Yun Yun also recalled it.
Reaching out to take the jade slip Xiao Yan handed over, Yun Yun instinctively checked it once, and immediately her expression turned shocked.
"This is? A high-level earth-tier martial technique!" Yun Yun exclaimed.
Although Xiao Yan had previously said he would use an earth-tier martial technique to exchange for the chance to enter the Life and Death Gate, he didn't say it was a high-level one!
You must know that even among earth-tier techniques, low-level and high-level are absolutely worlds apart!
"Looks like your current strength isn't just due to innate talent!" Yun Yun forced herself to calm down, then gave Xiao Yan a meaningful glance.
"Yeah. Don't blame me for saying this, but I actually got this from the hands of a Dou Sheng. How about it—don't you think I'm more charming now?" Taking advantage of the empty surroundings, Xiao Yan lightly fluttered his wings and flew to Yun Yun's front, reaching out to lift her chin, teasing her.
"Hmph! If you don't want to say it, then forget it!" Yun Yun mercilessly slapped away Xiao Yan's wandering hand, completely ignoring his words. You think this is a heavenly-tier technique? And you got it from a Dou Sheng? Which Dou Sheng is this stingy?
If Xiao Yan knew what Yun Yun was thinking, he would surely agree wholeheartedly and tell her: there really are such stingy Dou Shengs in this world—and this one is even a nine-star!
Watching Yun Yun turn and fly away, Xiao Yan shook his head and sighed: "Ah, these days, even telling the truth gets no one to believe you."
Before parting with Hai Bo Dong, Xiao Yan had already agreed on a meeting place.
When Xiao Yan and Yun Yun arrived, they saw Hai Bo Dong already waiting there.
After exchanging greetings, Yun Yun left first, flying alone toward the Yun Lan Sect, while Xiao Yan and Hai Bo Dong headed together toward Qing Shan Town.
On the way back to town, Hai Bo Dong inexplicably moved closer to Xiao Yan, squinting his eyes with a probing tone: "Xiao Yan, did something happen between you and the Yun Sect Leader?"
"Huh?" Xiao Yan's heart jolted, but his face remained calm as he replied: "Hai Elder, what do you mean? Everything between me and the Yun Sect Leader is perfectly normal."
"Really? Then why do I keep feeling Yun Yun's gaze keeps drifting toward you—even when she's talking to me?"
"Could it be my imagination?"
"Holy crap, this old man's observation is way too sharp!"
"Hmm." Xiao Yan feigned deep thought: "Maybe Yun Yun just doesn't want to see you—after all, compared to an old man, a young, handsome guy like me is obviously more popular, right?"
"Get lost!" Hearing Xiao Yan's explanation, Hai Bo Dong exploded in anger, shouting and flying off to the side.
You wouldn't believe it, but after Hai Bo Dong flew away, he actually started considering that possibility seriously.
You must know that before Hai Bo Dong was sealed and his strength suppressed, Yun Yun wasn't yet the sect leader of Yun Lan Sect. Back then, although he had heard of her as a promising junior, he wasn't really familiar with her.
So, from the perspective of a young woman, it's actually not impossible!
There's no way—could this guy Xiao Yan have already won Yun Yun's heart in such a short time?
Hahaha————Hai Bo Dong inwardly mocked himself for even thinking of such a possibility.
Should—wouldn't it?
After returning to Qing Shan Town, Xiao Yan and the others rested briefly, then set out again the next morning, heading northeast toward a relatively weak point in a magical beast mountain range to cross through.
After passing through the last fortress of the Gama Empire in this region—the Ghost-Sealing Pass—Xiao Yan and the group officially entered the Black Corner Region, where the Canaan Academy is located!
At the very moment Xiao Yan and his team entered the Black Corner Region, deep in the southern Tagore Desert, a figure was swiftly moving forward.
Soon, this figure entered a heavily guarded grand hall.
At the center of this hall stands a platform rising from the ground.
Upon this platform, a seductive figure reclines lazily on her side, eyes half-closed, as if nurturing her spirit.
"Your Majesty the Queen!" The swiftly approaching figure came before the seductive image, bowed respectfully, and said:
"What is it?" A cold, commanding voice echoed through the vast hall. The seductive figure on the platform slowly opened her eyes, revealing her soul-capturing, mesmerizing gaze.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the person you've been seeking has already emerged from the Gama Empire and is now in the Black Corner Region."
"Black Corner Region? What is this person doing there?"
"According to our investigation, Your Majesty, this person is currently only sixteen years old, heading straight for the center of the Black Corner Region, and since it's currently the enrollment season for Canaan Academy, we suspect they're heading there."
"I see." Medusa Queen rose from the platform, pondered briefly, then declared: "Mei Mei, tell me this person's location. I must act quickly—otherwise, once they enter Canaan Academy, it'll become troublesome."
"Your Majesty, shouldn't we summon a few elders to accompany you?" Mei Mei, standing below, asked anxiously. As the Queen's direct subordinate, she naturally dislikes letting the Queen venture into places where tribal support is weak.
"No need. Speed wins battles—by the time the other elders arrive, that person might already have entered Heping Town!"
Heping Town is the mandatory passage from the Black Corner Region into Canaan Academy and falls under the Academy's jurisdiction. Once Xiao Yan enters, not even Medusa Queen herself—let alone the four Supreme Elders of the Snake People tribe working together—could necessarily take him from under the Academy's nose!
After receiving Xiao Yan's position coordinates from Mei Mei, Medusa Queen estimated his route and speed, then her voluptuous form instantly transformed into a rainbow of light, shooting swiftly northward toward the horizon!
Above the skies of the Black Corner Region, Hai Bo Dong, leading the flock of flying magical beasts, suddenly felt a chill—a vague, ominous premonition stirring and rising in his heart.
Turning to look at the trio sitting on the side of the flying beast, chatting and enjoying the breeze, Hai Bo Dong addressed the slender figure in the middle: "Xiao Yan, do you feel anything off?"
"Huh?" Xiao Yan was interrupted by Hai Bo Dong's sudden question while chatting with the two beautiful girls, feeling slightly annoyed inside. But facing Hai Bo Dong's question, this irritation quickly dissipated with the howling wind behind them.
Activating his soul, already at the peak of the Mortal Realm, Xiao Yan scanned his surroundings—but found nothing of value.
He shook his head at Hai Bo Dong and said: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Hai Bo Dong, like Xiao Yan, sensed no abnormal aura, but still kept his brows tightly furrowed.
"I don't know why, but I just have this bad feeling."
"A bad feeling?" Xiao Yan murmured. Though it was just Hai Bo Dong's unfounded hunch, Xiao Yan didn't dismiss it—after all, the stronger one is, the more accurate their intuition tends to be.
Xiao Yan pondered what forces might possibly move against him now.
The Gama Royal Family? Ya Fei is still here!
Yun Lan Sect? Yun Shan is probably still in seclusion, breaking through to Dou Zong—plus, we have no grudge with them now!
The Hall of Souls? Although I've shown some promise, I haven't truly grown strong yet—shouldn't be their target.
Suddenly, Xiao Yan glanced at the green lotus leaning against his side.
Could it be Tianshe Fu? This is possible. After all, it has been some time since Qing Lian awakened the Bishe Sanhua Pupil, and being discovered by them is also possible.
Xiao Yan thought through it; although he had a suspect, he could not confirm it.
"Like this, Sea Elder, work hard once, we should still speed up first. As long as we reach Jia Nan Academy, no matter what problem, we no longer need to worry." Xiao Yan proposed.
"Mm. I also think so." Regarding Xiao Yan's proposal, Hai Bo Dong also expressed agreement.
"If so, then you must hurry up!" Hai Bo Dong reminded, and after saying this, the douqi inside his body surged up, following the soles of the feet and added to the flying magical beast beneath him.
Whoosh!!!
Feeling the power Hai Bo Dong added to himself, the flying magical beast beneath his feet immediately let out a crisp cry, its wings trembled violently, and the flying speed suddenly increased.
In less than half a Chinese hour, it flew another thousand li distance; at this speed, it would not take two days to reach the outskirts of Jia Nan Academy.
However, such flight did not last long; in an ordinary and unremarkable airspace, Xiao Yan suddenly felt a different and unusual breath.
"Sea Elder, the situation is not right, hurry up and speed up!" Xiao Yan suddenly shouted at Hai Bo Dong ahead. Although the flying magical beast's speed had already increased once, Xiao Yan's meaning at this moment was very clear: he wanted Hai Bo Dong to follow the speed of fleeing for his life.
But this shout came somewhat too late; when Hai Bo Dong heard Xiao Yan's words and prepared for limit acceleration, a path of rainbow light suddenly appeared around the four of them, surrounding everyone.
And at the moment this rainbow light appeared, Hai Bo Dong ahead in the group suddenly turned as if seeing a ghost, his face turning pale in an instant.
He trembled and called out the name that had terrified him for countless days and nights.
"Mei, mei, mei, mei, Medusa!!!"
