Chapter 278: Xiao Yan's Layout

"Young Master Xiao Yan is gifted. He used the Three Parts Returning to Origin Qi that injured me in Qingshan Town and almost beat Green Man and the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor of the Heaven Snake Mansion to death." When Elder Ling said this, his face was somewhat unnatural. After all, he was the one who forced Xiao Yan to use Three Parts Returning to Origin Qi back then.

"Has Brother Xiao Yan grown to this point? No wonder there are always women around him!" Xiao Xun Er said with emotion.

Elder Ling and the green figure also felt incomparably shocked by Xiao Yan's growth speed. In three years, he had improved from a Dou Zhe to the Dou Huang level, and he was even more powerful than veteran Dou Huangs, creating his own Dou Techniques. Which of these deeds was not a legend?

"Actually, I wanted to leave directly after inquiring up to here, but seeing that Young Master Xiao Yan was going to the Imperial Capital, and going to the Imperial Capital meant returning to the Jia Nan Academy, so I inquired for a while longer." Elder Ling explained.

"Forget it, continue!" Xiao Xun Er waved her hand, looking indifferent, completely different from the anxious look before.

Seeing this, Elder Ling said thank you and continued: "After Young Master Xiao Yan arrived at the Imperial Capital, he went to the Mittel Auction House, learned that something had happened to the Xiao family in Wutan City, and began to inquire everywhere, but it seems he only found out a little."

"Did Brother Xiao Yan go to the Imperial Palace to inquire?" Xiao Xun Er asked Elder Ling casually.

"How many chess pieces has Brother Xiao Yan laid out! First, he let Ya Fei secretly control the Mittel Clan, then let Xiao Yi Xian go to the Chuyun Empire, and the Poison Sect she established now has strength reaching the Dou Huang level, and it won't be long before she reaches the Dou Zong level, at which point she can take down the entire Chuyun Empire. He went to the Magical Beast Mountain Range and got into an unclear relationship with Yun Yun, which can be considered indirectly controlling the Yunlan Sect. He went to the Snake-People Tribe and brought their Queen out, and it is estimated that it won't be long before he can subdue Medusa and then control the Snake-People Tribe. He also sent Qing Lin to subdue the Heaven Snake Mansion. Now he went to the Imperial Capital and controlled most of the leaders of the forces in the Imperial Capital. It is estimated that in a few years, Brother Xiao Yan can control the entire Northwest Continent in his hands. But what about me? Am I also a chess piece of Brother Xiao Yan?" Xiao Xun Er seemed to be mocking herself, or talking to herself.

"Uh... the people of the Yunlan Sect wanted to forcibly keep Young Master Xiao Yan, and even activated the Cloud Smoke Covering Sun Array, but still couldn't keep him. Later, Yun Shan appeared and said... said the relationship between Yun Yun and Brother Xiao Yan!" Elder Ling was afraid of the aura on Xiao Xun Er at this time. Although he didn't want to mention it, this matter couldn't be hidden.

"This is not the case. Young Master Xiao Yan won the championship at the Alchemist Grand Meeting, and what he refined was a seventh-grade pill. That is to say, Young Master Xiao Yan is now a seventh-grade alchemist!" Elder Ling said with envy.

How strong is the appeal of a seventh-grade alchemist? That is someone who can invite powerhouses at the Dou Zong level! But the highest combat power in this Northwest Continent is only at the Dou Zong level, and there is not a single one at the Dou Zun level.

"Yes! After the Alchemist Grand Meeting ended, Young Master Xiao Yan went to the Yunlan Sect. After using Three Parts Returning to Origin Qi, Nalan Yanran couldn't break his defense at all. Later, the people of the Yunlan Sect wanted to keep Xiao Yan in the Yunlan Sect as the Sect Master, but Young Master Xiao Yan refused!" Elder Ling nodded, but his eyes were somewhat evasive, seemingly hiding something.

"Would Brother Xiao Yan be so kind?" Xiao Xun Er asked suspiciously.

"Uh... after Young Master Xiao Yan finished inquiring about the news, he returned to the Mittel Auction House. During this period, Nalan Yanran visited, looking for someone to treat Nalan Jie's illness, and Young Master Xiao Yan, who was disguised as Bu Jingyun, agreed directly." Elder Ling felt that his back was already wet, but he continued to speak.

"What happened later? Brother Xiao Yan should have gone to the Yunlan Sect, right? Although this trip had no meaning at all, Brother Xiao Yan is a person who keeps his promises." Xiao Xun Er asked.

"Miss, I'm afraid it won't take a few years, at most just over a year, and this Northwest Continent will be surnamed Xiao." After Xiao Xun Er's analysis, Elder Ling thought back carefully. If anyone knew the most about Xiao Yan, it was probably Elder Ling. After all, what he told Xiao Xun Er was a summary, and he knew more himself.

"Has Brother Xiao Yan become stronger again?" Xiao Xun Er asked, raising her eyes.

"Has Brother Xiao Yan already laid out the Imperial Capital?" Xiao Xun Er whispered to herself.

"I can't believe it either! But this matter is already known to everyone. I'm afraid it will spread here before long!" Elder Ling said with a bitter smile.

"The people of the Yunlan Sect are really daydreaming. Just by them, they want to keep Brother Xiao Yan. But did you hide something? Sect Master Yun, Yun Yun, you didn't seem to mention her!" Xiao Xun Er's gaze gradually became cold. The relationship between Yun Yun and Xiao Yan was what she wanted to know most.

"Then what is the relationship between Brother Xiao Yan and Yun Yun?" Xiao Xun Er said word by word.

"Of course not. Young Master Xiao Yan scammed the Nalan family out of tens of millions of gold coins, and later scammed another one hundred million, but the treatment effect was very good. The people from those big families in the Imperial Capital asked Young Master Xiao Yan to help one after another and owed the young master a lot of loans, including the Mittel Clan and the Mu family. Now, how many gold coins Young Master Xiao Yan has is hard to imagine." When Elder Ling said this, the corners of his mouth twitched. He really couldn't imagine that Xiao Yan had so many ways to scam people.

"Young Master Xiao Yan... slept with Yun Yun!" Elder Ling was scared out of his wits, but he still said what happened.

Hearing this, the green figure and Elder Ling looked at each other, both feeling their scalps go numb. If Xiao Xun Er hadn't mentioned it, they wouldn't have thought so far ahead.

But perhaps Xiao Xun Er paid too much attention to Xiao Yan and thought about the news Elder Ling brought every day, so she analyzed so much.

"Yes! I guess Young Master Xiao Yan made a dark move!" Elder Ling said with emotion.

"What? Seventh-grade alchemist? Young Master Xiao Yan has only been learning alchemy for three years, right? This has become seventh-grade?" The green figure was somewhat unbelievable.

"Must have gone, right?" Xiao Xun Er snorted heavily, her little fist clenched tightly, as if she wanted to hammer Xiao Yan to death.

Hearing this, cold sweat broke out on Elder Ling's forehead. He had skipped it directly, but he didn't know that their young lady would come out with this.

"Brother Xiao Yan's growth speed is so fast. A seventh-grade alchemist has a very high status even in Zhongzhou!" Xiao Xun Er said with emotion.

If Elder Ling didn't say it now, once the news came, he would have no place to die.

"Good... good! Saying that I am put in the first place, but actually did such a thing!" Xiao Xun Er's eye sockets were a little wet at this time.

"Uh... Miss, this matter might not be Young Master Xiao Yan's initiative. After all, Young Master Xiao Yan killed the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. With the strength of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, it is impossible to say that he didn't pay a price!" Elder Ling didn't want to help Xiao Yan excuse himself, but just didn't want Xiao Xun Er to be sad.
