Chapter 290: Intercepted on the Road

"This person hides too deeply; I talked to him for a long time and couldn't find out anything, only that his name is Xiong Ba!" Manager Hu shook his head and said. Hearing this, the middle-aged man frowned, clearly not very satisfied with this answer!

"Although I don't know his background, if what Duo Ma, who delivers goods to us, said is true, his strength must be very terrifying!" Manager Hu said with lingering fear.

"Oh? Tell me about it!" Hearing this, the middle-aged man became interested.

"Duo Ma said he encountered the black bandit Ghost Shadow on his way to Hei Yin Cheng!" Manager Hu said.

"He's bragging without even drafting it! Let alone encountering Ghost Shadow, even if he encountered ordinary black bandits, he wouldn't have made it to Hei Yin Cheng!" The middle-aged man said disdainfully.

"At first I didn't believe it either, but Duo Ma said that Ghost Shadow intercepted them on the road and was killed by the youth who came with him, leaving not even ashes behind, and this youth is Xiong Ba!" Manager Hu explained.

"What?" Hearing this, the middle-aged man became uneasy. The black bandit known as Ghost Shadow wandered near Hei Yin Cheng all year round, robbing merchants and causing significant losses to Hei Yin Cheng.

The Eight Fan Sect also wanted to wipe out these black bandits, but unfortunately, not only did they fail, but these black bandits became even more famous and robbed even more unscrupulously, which led to merchants coming to Hei Yin Cheng being terrified and even more afraid to come.

But the black bandits that even their Eight Fan Sect couldn't wipe out were wiped out by a youth; who would believe that if it were told?

"Sect Master, whether it's true or not, won't we know soon? This youth named Xiong Ba auctioned for so many good things; how could those people let him leave easily?" Manager Hu said with a faint smile.

"That's true. Not to mention the things he auctioned, just the fact that he offended the Blood Sect's Young Sect Master, the Blood Sect won't let him go. Let's wait and watch the show! If he hadn't offended the Blood Sect, we might have had to intervene, but now! Let's just wait! If there's a chance, we'll make a move too; I want that Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill too!" The middle-aged man said with a cunning smile.

After leaving the city gate, Xiao Yan took out a map and walked toward the direction of Jia Nan Academy, walking and stopping along the way, as if he were playing.

After spending half a day, Xiao Yan finally walked to a dense forest.

Hearing this, Fan Ling was stunned; he had never seen his father show fear toward anyone before.

In fact, Xiao Yan was afraid that if he moved too fast, the "tail" behind him would lose him, and he was also afraid that those people hadn't set up their traps yet.

Seeing this, the people ambushing in the dense forest frowned, looked at each other, and didn't know what to do.

"This person's strength is beyond even my ability to see, and he gives me a very dangerous feeling; let's wait and see." The red-robed man's eagle-like sharp eyes constantly scanned Xiao Yan, and a feeling of inexplicable fear arose in his heart.

"Father, it's this person who is going against our Blood Sect and doesn't put our Blood Sect in his eyes at all. If we don't capture him and turn him into a blood slave, how can our Blood Sect establish itself in this Black-Corner Region!" Fan Ling, who was ambushing in the dense forest, said to the tall man beside him who was wearing a bright red robe like fresh blood.

Looking at the very quiet forest in front of him, where there wasn't even a bird's chirp, Xiao Yan hooked his mouth into a disdainful smile and directly lay down on a large rock to rest.

In a place like the Black-Corner Region, it's not yours just because you auctioned for it; you have to have the ability to take it away.

Behind the hills to Xiao Yan's left rear and right rear, there were also groups of people hiding, wanting to snatch the Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill in Xiao Yan's hands, but these people, like the Blood Sect, just waited on the sidelines, waiting for others to make the first move so they could be the fisherman.

None of these three forces dared to make the first move, fearing the oriole behind them; as if they had agreed, they all quietly waited for others to move first.

Xiao Yan slept from the afternoon until evening, then from evening until dark, and from dark until dawn, only to find that no one had made a move.

The sun rose, and the morning sun shone into Xiao Yan's eyes, causing him some stinging pain. He rubbed his eyes and realized that a day had already passed.

Xiao Yan yawned and curled his lips helplessly: "I gave you a chance, but you're useless!"

At this moment, Xiao Yan noticed that the people surrounding him had increased; after all, Xiao Yan hadn't deliberately hidden, and anyone with intent could find him. However, these people saw that the major forces didn't dare to move, so naturally, they didn't dare to move rashly either.

"Come out, all of you! You've been frozen all night; it's time to come out and bask in the sun!" Xiao Yan sat lazily on the giant rock, his voice like thunder, constantly spreading to the surroundings.

The moment Xiao Yan finished speaking, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the dense forest, and immediately after, figures appeared in front of Xiao Yan.

The two groups of people behind the hills also came out at this time; after all, Xiao Yan had said as much, and continuing to hide made no sense.

Of course, there were some small forces and onlookers who didn't come out; after all, they didn't dare to share this piece of the pie.

"Heh heh, the Blood Sect, the Heaven Snake Mansion, and the Black Skeleton are all here! But I only have one Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill; how should I divide it!" Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"Little brother, hand the pill to sister, and sister can protect you. You offended the Blood Sect, and the Blood Sect people definitely won't let you go!" The people from the Heaven Snake Mansion said with a smile.

"The Heaven Snake Mansion can hardly protect you; hand the Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill to me!" Mo Erhan said sinisterly.

"If you hand over the Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill, I can overlook your previous provocations toward the Blood Sect!" The red-robed man said.

"How about you all have a fight, and whoever wins, I'll hand the Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill to?" Facing the three forces, Xiao Yan showed no fear and said with a smile.

"Hmph! I don't know where this brat came from, but he's so arrogant. Why don't we kill this brat first and then discuss how to distribute it?" The red-robed man looked at the people from the Heaven Snake Mansion and the Black Skeleton and asked.

"Sect Master Fan Lao, you are a Dou Huang; just make a move and kill this brat!" The people from the Heaven Snake Mansion said with a smile.

"Elder Qing, didn't you also ambush for a night and not dare to move? Now that the three of us are wary of each other, it's better to cooperate!" Fan Lao couldn't figure out Xiao Yan's background, so naturally, he wasn't willing to be the sucker.

"You're a major force in the Black-Corner Region, yet you act so timidly. Since you don't dare to move, I'm leaving!" Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly; he hadn't expected these people to be so pathetic.

"Brat, you really aren't afraid of death!" Seeing Xiao Yan dare to insult them like this, Elder Qing was furious.

"Heh heh, I wonder if the injuries of the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor and Lv Man have healed?" Xiao Yan looked at Elder Qing and asked with a smile.

"What? How do you know they were injured?" Hearing this, Elder Qing was suddenly shocked. She remembered the miserable state of the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor when he returned to the Heaven Snake Mansion; he was left with only a skeleton, and his appearance was as miserable as could be.
