Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 106 Return to the Northwest

Deep in the Tianyin Mountains, a cave

A pitch-black void, roughly ten feet in size, was slowly appearing on the stone platform in the cave's open space, from which a steady spatial force was continuously surging.

"Xiao Li, this is our Yin Valley's exclusive spaceship, an eighth-tier one. With it, you should be able to reach the Northwest Continent in about twenty days. At that time, you can hand the spaceship over to the Grand Elder."

Tianyinzi handed a small silver boat to Xiao Li.

"Alright, thank you, Elder! I'm off."

Xiao Li bowed and clasped his hands in greeting to Tian Yinzi and Su Wanyin before disappearing into the spatial wormhole.

. . . . . .

More than twenty days later, outside the Tianyin Mountains

"Hahahaha, I've gained a lot from this Demon Thunder Saint's Secret Realm. I need to find Xiao Li as soon as possible." Mang Tianchi arrived outside the Sound Valley again and then told the disciples patrolling the mountain to quickly report.

Soon after, Su Wanyin arrived.

Su Wanyin: "Senior Mang, are you here to see Xiao Li? He has already returned to the Northwest Continent."

Mang Tianchi exclaimed in shock, "What?!"

. . . . . .

Northwest Continent

On a wide plaza, a silver ship suddenly burst out from a spatial portal, then gradually shrank and was taken into Xiao Li's hands.

"Phew, finally out. Where in the Northwest Continent is this?" Xiao Li scratched his head, looking around at his surroundings. He was deep in the mountains, with a very conspicuous pavilion not far away.

The next instant, a crack suddenly appeared in the space directly in front of Xiao Li, and a figure walked out from it.

"You've arrived, Holy Son. Please come with me to the Music Pavilion for a while." The newcomer was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her thirties.

"Fourth Elder? You've broken through to Dou Zun? Congratulations on breaking through to Dou Zun, Fourth Elder!" Xiao Li naturally recognized this beautiful woman. She was Yin Ruxue, the Fourth Elder of Yin Valley, and also the wife of the First Elder, Yin Wuzi.

This Fourth Elder was originally a peak Dou Zong expert in Yin Valley, but he had not yet found the feeling of breaking through to Dou Zun. So he helped Su Wanyin handle the affairs of the valley and was quite popular in the valley.

The Fourth Elder covered her mouth and smiled: "Hehe~ I have to thank you for refining the Primordial Breakthrough Pill, which allowed this old woman to break through to the Dou Zun level. After my breakthrough, I came here to help my husband."

"Your husband has been waiting for you here for quite some time. Please come with me to the Music Pavilion."

Speaking of which, Elder Yin Wuzi's title is rather unfortunate, as it means "sonless." Indeed, Yin Wuzi had no sons; he had two daughters, which made the old man quite depressed.

Fortunately, the Grand Elder's two daughters are both Dou Zong level experts, and they have come to the Northwest Continent with their parents this time.

Before long, the Fourth Elder led Xiao Li to the antique-style pavilion not far away.

Xiao Li carefully examined the place. The architecture here was quite characteristic of Yin Valley. On the plaque above the gate were the two large characters "Yin Ge".

"Is this the Sound Pavilion that our Sound Valley opened up in the Northwest Continent?" Xiao Li exclaimed.

Fourth Elder: "Indeed, most of our disciples in Yin Valley prefer quiet cultivation and dislike the worldly struggles for power and profit. This time, the Supreme Elder has spoken and arranged these for you, Holy Son."

It's easy to imagine how important you are to the Supreme Elder and the Valley Master. But then again, you are an eighth-grade alchemist; it's only natural."

Xiao Li followed the Fourth Elder into the Sound Pavilion. Soon after, he saw the First Elder, Yin Wuzi, along with other Dou Zong elders and Dou Huang stewards standing outside the main hall, waiting for Xiao Li's arrival.

When Yin Wuzi saw Xiao Li arrive, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "Hehe, Holy Son, you've finally arrived! And you've even broken through to the Dou Zong realm, not bad at all."

"Elder!" Xiao Li clasped his hands in a fist salute to Yin Wuzi and bowed slightly.

Although in the Sound Valley, the status of the Holy Son and Holy Daughter is equivalent to that of the Grand Elder, or even above the other elders, second only to the Valley Master and the Supreme Elder, Xiao Li does not want to act recklessly because of his high status, as these are all potential advantages in the future.

Xiao Li didn't want to offend them; on the contrary, he wanted to befriend them. Although he was an eighth-grade alchemist, he was only a one-star Dou Zong, which was not enough. In this world, only by being strong could one have enough security.

Xiao Li: "Elder, where in the Northwest Continent is this?"

Yin Wuzi: "This place is relatively close to your hometown, the Jia Ma Empire. Our place is located at the border between the Tian She Empire and the Black Corner Region. The Supreme Elder felt that this place had good feng shui and abundant energy of heaven and earth, so he set the location of Yin Valley here."

If you head west from here, you'll reach the Luoyan Empire; beyond that, you'll reach the Jiama Empire. Alternatively, you can start from the Black Corner Region and directly cross the Black Corner Plains back to the Jiama Empire.

Xiao Li said somewhat awkwardly, "Elder, you're making it sound like I'm not from the Northwest Continent. You know this place better than I do, a native."

Yin Wuzi smiled faintly and said, "Of course! Our Holy Son of Yin Valley will be staying here for a long time, so how can we not understand the layout of this Northwest Continent?"

There is something in the Northwest Continent, but not much. I have personally investigated it, and the most powerful force in the Northwest Continent should be the Heavenly Serpent Palace.

Within the Heavenly Serpent Palace resides an old man at the peak of the Dou Zong realm, whose lifespan is still relatively long. His palace also boasts numerous Dou Zong experts, and they have been accumulating power, seemingly preparing to unify the entire Northwest Continent in the next sect competition.

Xiao Li stroked his chin thoughtfully: "The Heavenly Serpent Mansion? Could it be the Heavenly Serpent Mansion whose founder possessed the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil? They have quite the ambition. What are the Grand Elder's plans? To compete with them?"

Yin Wuzi shook his head: "No interest. They're just peak Dou Zong. I could kill a dozen of them with one slap. As long as they don't provoke us, I don't care what they do."

Xiao Li tilted his head: "Alright, we're strong, we're right. Elder, you can have this spaceship. I'm going home to take a look."

Xiao Li handed the eighth-order spaceship to Yin Wuzi.

"Well, although the Northwest Continent isn't much, just to be on the safe side, you still need someone to protect you. Yuhan and Yurou, you two will go with the Holy Son and protect his safety."

Yin Wuzi spoke, and then two women who looked to be in their twenties came out. The two women looked almost identical, both possessing exquisite features, except that the beauty marks under their eyes were different, one under the right eye and the other under the left eye.

The two women were very voluptuous, even more so than Yun Yun. They had long black hair cascading down their backs, and their fair faces were adorned with delicate features.

They both exuded a special aura, like a pair of fairies descended to earth, untouched by the dust of the mortal world.

"Yes. Greetings, Holy Son." The two women bowed in unison.

Xiao Li raised an eyebrow because he noticed that the two women bore a resemblance to the Fourth Elder, who was also the wife of the First Elder, and the First Elder and Fourth Elder had two daughters.

"Elder, who are these two?" Xiao Li asked.

Yin Wuzi chuckled and said, "Naturally, they are my daughters. The elder one is called Pei Yuhan, and the younger one is called Pei Yurou. Yuhan is a Seven-Star Dou Zong, and Yurou is a Five-Star Dou Zong. With the two of them following you, I can rest assured."

Don't underestimate them! They practice a special combined attack technique unique to the valley, and the two of them together are invincible at the Dou Zong level.

If their cultivation levels were higher, their combined power would be no less than that of a one-star Dou Zun. I've left tokens on them; I'll arrive immediately if there's any danger.

Xiao Li looked at the two beautiful women on his left and right, unsure of what to say.

"Let's go, let's go to Canaan Academy first," Xiao Li said with a sigh.

The author wants to make some changes here. Originally, the female lead Yun Yun and Zi Yan were already confirmed, but I haven't figured out how to add Medusa yet, so it's still pending.

I've already decided on this. I won't take Medusa. Xiao Yan will take his two original wives, Xun'er and Medusa. As for whether Little Fairy Doctor will join, that's up to you readers.

Xiao Li will have two more capable wives.

Hehe, a pair of twin sisters, and they even have a combined attack! Why does this feel so familiar? Hehehe!
