The next second.
Zi Yan, who was outside the house, also heard their conversation, and with a smiling face, she stepped into the house and shouted loudly:
"Jia Ma Empire?"
"I want to go too, Xiao Yi, you have to take me!"
Xiao Yi, upon hearing this, only smiled faintly and did not immediately give an answer.
Seeing this, Zi Yan immediately turned her head to look at Xiao Yi Xian and pouted:
"Xiao Yi Xian Sister, just take me with you..."
"I've never stepped out of this Black-Corner Region..."
Xiao Yi Xian, after hearing her, also gently bent down, smiled, patted Zi Yan's head, and softly said:
"Okay, I promise you..."
"If Xiao Yi doesn't take you, I'll take you..."
Hearing this, a smile instantly appeared on Zi Yan's face:
"Xiao Yi Xian Sister is the best!"
"Unlike that smelly man Xiao Yi, who only uses Medicinal Pills to bribe me!"
Xiao Yi, hearing this, only gave an awkward smile.
Xiao Yi was not surprised by Zi Yan's excited reaction.
After all, when Zi Yan was young, she followed her father Zhu Kun to Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave Abode to seek Opportunity.
Zhu Kun was unfortunately trapped and became the top security guard of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave Abode.
Zi Yan was then left in the secluded deep mountains of the Black-Corner Region, accidentally consumed a shape-shifting grass, transformed into human form, met Su Qian, and was adopted by him.
Since then, she had been living in Jia Nan Academy, and naturally, she was extremely curious about the outside world.
Now that she had the chance to go out and see, she would naturally be incredibly happy.
"Xiao Yi, since you're preparing to return to the Jia Ma Empire, when do you plan to depart..."
Xiao Yi Xian looked up at Xiao Yi and asked softly.
Xiao Yi pondered for a moment, then said calmly: "Tomorrow..."
Xiao Yi Xian was slightly stunned upon hearing this; it seemed a bit too urgent, but seeing Xiao Yi's expression, Xiao Yi Xian chose not to speak again, only nodding gently.
Since they had decided to take Zi Yan away from Jia Nan Academy, it was natural to inform Su Qian.
Immediately, Xiao Yi found Su Qian.
Upon seeing Xiao Yi, Su Qian was also slightly shocked, because at this moment, Su Qian, as a Dou Zong, could no longer fully discern Xiao Yi's strength.
Xiao Yi did not waste time and directly stated the purpose of his visit:
"Grand Elder..."
"This student needs to return to the Jia Ma Empire soon, may I bring Zi Yan with me..."
Hearing this, Su Qian frowned slightly and murmured softly:
"Jia Ma Empire..."
"Although this girl Zi Yan has never traveled far, I believe you can also see that her identity is somewhat different..."
"I'm afraid there might be some danger..."
Xiao Yi, hearing this, spoke again in a deep voice:
"Grand Elder, you don't have to worry about safety..."
"Because now I have the strength to protect Zi Yan..."
After Xiao Yi finished speaking, his aura instantly burst forth, and as the Void Realm behind Xiao Yi cracked open one by one, that unique venerable ring also appeared.
Xiao Yi's powerful aura also made Su Qian's body tremble involuntarily!
"This is..."
"Dou... Dou Zun!"
Su Qian was completely stunned in place at this moment, looking at Xiao Yi in front of him with an expression of disbelief.
His expression was as if he had seen a ghost!
After all, the last time he saw Xiao Yi, he was merely a small Dou Huang.
Now, after only a few months, he was a Dou Zun?
This speed was truly terrifying!
And in a breath, Xiao Yi's aura retracted freely, and he withdrew his aura, looking at Su Qian and saying softly:
"Grand Elder... please believe this junior..."
"This student will definitely bring Zi Yan back to Jia Nan Academy safe and sound..."
At this moment, Su Qian was too shocked to utter a single word, only nodding subconsciously.
At the same time, the two Elders, Qian and Bai, who were guarding the library, also noticed Xiao Yi's fleeting terrifying aura.
Both of them looked at each other.
"This aura... Dou Zun?"
Qian Mu frowned slightly and murmured softly.
"It was fleeting, I hope it's just our illusion..."
Bai Lie murmured, looking in the direction from which the aura had just emanated.
After all, both Elders Qian and Bai were only at the Peak of Dou Zong, and if a Dou Zun Expert who was hostile to Jia Nan Academy truly appeared.
Then only the mysterious Dean could stop him... The next day.
With Su Qian's permission, Zi Yan, accompanied by Xiao Yi and Xiao Yi Xian, embarked on the Dao back to the Jia Ma Empire.
At this moment, although Xiao Yi was a Dou Zun, he commanded the Power of Space.
However, since Zi Yan and Xiao Yi Xian were also traveling with him, Xiao Yi chose the Thick-Winged Bird, a Demonic Beast vehicle, for this journey.
The Thick-Winged Bird was a unique flying Demonic Beast of Black Rock City in the Black-Corner Region; although its body was huge, since it flew in the air, its speed was considerably faster than a carriage... In the blink of an eye, after an unknown period of time, Xiao Yi and his group had already arrived at the central city of the Jiama Empire, Jia Ma Holy City!
"Is this the Jiama Empire...?"
"It really feels different from the Black-Corner Region..."
Zi Yan's face was full of smiles, and she was quite curious about everything new.
Xiao Yi, however, had a calm expression, looking at Yun Lan Mountain in the distance.
"I wonder if I made it in time..."
Xiao Yi murmured softly.
And just then, passersby next to Xiao Yi were talking about something...
"Have you heard, the Young Sect Master of Cloud Mist Sect has a match with some Xiao Family brat today... Do you want to go see it?"
"You want to go to Cloud Mist Sect to watch this match? Are you crazy? With you, you can't even get up Yun Lan Mountain!"
...Hearing the conversation of the passersby, Xiao Yi smiled slightly: "I've arrived just in time..."
"Little Yanzi, have you been well these past three years..."
Xiao Yi murmured softly, then turned to Xiao Yi Xian and Zi Yan and said softly: "Xiao Yi Xian, Zi Yan..."
"Let's go, follow me up to Cloud Mist Sect to take a look..."
Xiao Yi Xian and Zi Yan both nodded upon hearing this.
Immediately, huge Dou Qi wings instantly appeared behind Xiao Yi Xian and Zi Yan, and they rushed towards Yun Lan Mountain.
Xiao Yi merely took a casual step forward, and then his figure disappeared from where he stood... At Cloud Mist Sect at this moment.
Xiao Yan, carrying the xuan heavy ruler on his back, ascended the steps one by one, arriving at the Cloud Mist Sect's plaza.
"Xiao Family, Xiao Yan!"
Xiao Yan's expression was calm as he looked at Nalan Yanran, who had already been waiting there, and spoke in a deep voice.
"Nalan Family, Nalan Yanran!"
Nalan Yanran held a long sword, her eyes sharp as she looked at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan slowly raised his hand, and the xuan heavy ruler from his back was already in his hand; Xiao Yan held the xuan heavy ruler horizontally and said in a deep voice:
"The three-year agreement, I have arrived as promised!"
"Let's settle the grievances between us today..."
"The grievances you brought to my Xiao Family three years ago, please return them today..."
Xiao Yan spoke each word distinctly, and his demeanor appeared much more stable and mature than three years ago.
However, Nalan Yanran was unconcerned:
"I don't think I did anything wrong back then..."
"If time were to rewind, I think I would still do the same!"
"After all, the fallen Xiao Family and the fallen you would only become a burden to me!"
As Nalan Yanran's voice fell, before Xiao Yan could speak.
Immediately, a gentle voice was heard slowly coming from the sky:
"Xiao Family, Xiao Yi!"
"Here to pay respects!"
