Chapter 42: Choice

When everyone walked out of the Space Wormhole, Ye Jianxin, who had been waiting there for a long time, immediately stepped forward to greet them.

He glanced at the Xiao Clan members behind Xiao Han and signaled to him with his eyes, "Are these the people?"

Xiao Han nodded.

"You all follow this senior and leave; those willing to join Langya Pavilion can go tell him directly.

Of course, if anyone is willing to go roam the Central Plains, I have no objections.

Make your own choices."

After saying this, Xiao Han stopped looking at them. He signaled that they could leave.

All the Xiao Clan members bowed solemnly toward Xiao Han, then turned and left.

"Why did you let them go out to roam? Isn't it safer in Langya Pavilion? And their cultivation speed wouldn't slow down either."

Seeing the profound, pitch-black eyes of Xiao Han, Yi Huang asked in confusion.

"You probably don't want them to suffer heavy losses either."

"I also want them to become stronger safely just like that." Xiao Han no longer had his usual unserious air, but was instead somewhat earnest.

"You should also be clear about how big the gap is between the actual combat power of those who bury themselves in cultivation rooms to practice hard and those who grow up through constant fighting. Didn't we come through that way back then?"

Immediately, he tightened his fist, "And although practicing step-by-step is fine.

But if one wants to obtain powerful strength in a short time, besides crooked paths, there is only opportunity.

These are things that cannot be obtained in a cultivation room.

Now there is not much time left.

All we can do now is believe in them."

Yi Huang looked at him with a complex expression, feeling that this guy seemed to have suddenly gained much more depth.

"Why did you say there isn't much time left?" Suddenly, Yi Huang looked puzzled.

"Of course, it's because I can predict the future!" Immediately, Xiao Han revealed his true colors.

"Bang~"

Yi Huang patted her fair, small hand, which still had faint traces of earthy-yellow flames. That was definitely an illusion just now!

……

An hour later, Ye Jianxin came before Xiao Han with a complex expression on his face.

He sighed, "Could this be the pride of the Imperial Clan?"

Even though they have already fallen, the arrogance in their hearts has not diminished by even half.

"How is it?" Xiao Han's eyes held a smile, and Yi Huang was also waiting for Ye Jianxin's answer with anticipation.

"Out of nearly a hundred people, nearly seventy have chosen to roam on their own.

The remaining twenty-plus people are all low-level Dou Kings who don't have strong self-preservation abilities for now, so they chose to stay in Langya Pavilion.

However, even these people have all chosen to go to the Southern City Garrison of Langya Pavilion."

Langya Pavilion and Starfall Pavilion are both located in the Southern Region of Central Plains, and the southern city under their command is even closer to where the Beast Domain is.

Although the Beast Domain and the Human cities have always kept to themselves, there have been constant frictions. Casualties have become a common occurrence.

Because of this, the Southern Region City Guard of Langya Pavilion is the most dangerous of all the dispatched teams of Langya Pavilion.

Generally, Disciples and Elders of Langya Pavilion take turns guarding it, and some Disciples seeking breakthroughs and experience will also take the initiative to go.

After all, although it is dangerous there, because it is close to the Beast Domain, there are many kinds of Medicinal Herbs and treasures, and even going to the Beast Domain to wander around from time to time is tacitly approved by both sides.

After all, those Magic Beasts also often go to Human cities to stroll around, don't they?

As for whether you can come back alive, that depends on your own ability.

Thinking back to when that group of Xiao Clan members asked where the fastest place to improve strength was, he subconsciously said the Southern Region City Guard.

He never expected that those people would all request to go join the garrison team without any hesitation.

Even though he repeatedly warned them to pay attention to safety, that the danger was extreme, and to act according to their ability... the result was that they were still single-mindedly squeezing their way there.

This made Ye Jianxin feel a bit helpless while also feeling some admiration.

Although he and Xiao Han and Yi Huang had also caused trouble in the Beast Domain when they traveled together in their youth, they were also taught a lesson by the powerful Magic Beast clans there at the same time.

Whenever he recalled that group of dead, mangy birds from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, Ye Jianxin would get angry.

However, he immediately thought of his warehouse full of Heavenly Demon Phoenix wing collections, and he felt as refreshed as if he had gulped down several cups of ice water on a dog-day summer afternoon.

"Oh? It seems not bad." Although his tone was indifferent, the corners of Xiao Han's mouth curling up indicated the joy in his heart.

As expected, they did not disappoint him.

"Alright, alright, don't be smug after getting the advantage. Look at that smile of yours." For some reason, Ye Jianxin just couldn't stand Xiao Han's smug, despicable look.

"By the way, there shouldn't be anything else going on in Langya Pavilion, right?" Xiao Han asked somewhat seriously.

"No, why?" Ye Jianxin looked blank; was there some other trouble again?

"I am going into seclusion, it will probably take about a year."

"A breakthrough?" Unknowingly, Ye Jianxin asked with some bitterness.

"Yes."

"Alright then." Having made up his mind, Ye Jianxin prepared to settle his affairs and immediately go into seclusion; this time, he had to at least break through to Peak Dou Venerate before coming out.

"What's wrong?" At this moment, Yi Huang suddenly tugged on Xiao Han's robe.

"Did you forget you still have a disciple?" Yi Huang said irritably.

This guy had already left that little disciple aside for nearly a month.

Last time she went there to check on him for him, that little guy named Xiao Wu was full of fire, almost jumping with anxiety.

"Oh my!" Xiao Han slapped his head hard, "I've been too busy these past few days and forgot for a moment."

"Yes, yes, yes, someone has been working diligently and silently cultivating recently." At this time, Ye Jianxin suddenly said sarcastically.

Then, he suddenly flashed his body, preparing to flee. However, it was a pity, he was still one step too late.

He looked at the man and woman before him, shivering slightly. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful; it would have been even better if one ignored the flames and frost in their hands.

"Bang— Boom— Whoosh—"

Accompanied by bursts of light effects and sound effects, a scene of a truly miserable performance was suddenly staged here.

A quarter of an hour later, Ye Jianxin, whose face was bruised and swollen to the point of being unrecognizable, left limping.

He left behind the expressionless Xiao Han and the incredibly shy Yi Huang.

"Let's go, let's go see my little apprentice." Xiao Han tried to divert Yi Huang's attention.

"No need, you go yourself." It's over, I won't be able to enter the room tonight.

Ye the bastard, you just wait for me. Xiao Han rubbed his hands and gnashed his teeth in his heart.

Then, with a face full of resentment, he went to educate the cute little fellow.

At this moment, in the guest room of Langya Pavilion.

Shitou, who had already recovered his health, watched Xiao Wu pacing back and forth in the room, while still cursing and swearing.

"Bastard, no integrity, human trafficker..."

However, Shitou was not worried; this process lasted for one or two hours every day for Xiao Wu, and once he was tired, he would naturally quiet down.

However, today was a bit different.

Shitou looked at the figure behind Xiao Wu with a face full of astonishment, but subconsciously shut his mouth.

"Who is a bastard?" Just as Xiao Wu was cursing with great enthusiasm, a gentle voice came.

"Of course it's that hateful Pavilion Master of Langya Pavilion." Xiao Wu had a look of resentment, his whole body exuding an aura of "I am unhappy."

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, he turned his head mechanically and looked at someone in panic.

Xiao Han revealed an evil smile and stepped forward, step by step...
