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

Chapter 134 Potential Enemies

Mang Tianchi, his body crackling with lightning, made his appearance, followed by the newly promoted Dou Zun, Qian Mu.

"Boy, what happened? How did your Xiao family become like this? There are even people from the ancient clans? Hmm? You are! You're that old guy from Yin Valley! You're still alive!"

Mang Tianchi quickly scanned the area. What surprised him most was why the ancient clansmen were here, and how that mysterious old guy from Yin Gu could be here!

The old man Tianyin ignored Mang Tianchi, or rather, he didn't care about Mang Tianchi's words. He knew that Mang Tianchi was a helper that Xiao Li had called, and he wouldn't get angry over such vulgar words.

"Dean! It's like this! Listen to me." Xiao Li immediately came to Mang Tianchi's side and embellished the story, basically saying that these guys didn't take Mang Tianchi seriously.

Xiao Li had already announced that he was Mang Tianchi's student, but they didn't take it seriously and even mocked Mang Tianchi and such!

"Fine! Not only are you bullying my students, but you're also calling my academy trash? You're asking for it!"

Mang Tianchi didn't care about any of that. He naturally believed Xiao Li's words. Even if his student was wrong, he had to stand up for him. For no other reason than that the people of the ancient clan disgusted him.

Especially since these two old guys in front of him had opposed him quite a bit, he hadn't had a chance to fight back in the ancient world or other imperial worlds, but now he had a perfect opportunity to vent his anger!

"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"

Suddenly, dark clouds filled the sky, and countless bolts of lightning filled the Xiao family. All the ancient clan members who came this time were treated kindly by Mang Tianchi.

Xiao Li ignored the ancient clansmen and went to entertain Elder Tianyin, since Elder Tianyin had stood up for him this time, which was a great favor.

"Elder Su, what brings you here? Could it be that Yuhan and Yurou brought your keepsake?" Xiao Li hurriedly came to help Elder Tianyin. Although Elder Tianyin's cultivation level meant he didn't need any assistance, he still had to show respect.

"Hehe, I've been in your house for quite a while now, but not many people have noticed. Xiao Li, you're not being honest, but I understand your dishonesty."

Now I'm putting my words here: if anyone dares to touch you or your family, they're going against me. My Yin Valley lineage has never been afraid of anything.

"Back then, the Sound Saint Ancestor wasn't without his share of killing members of the Imperial Clan. If the Sound Saint Ancestor dared to do it, so do I!"

The old man's voice wasn't loud, but it was very domineering, which warmed Xiao Li's heart.

"Thank you very much, Elder Su. If you ever need any pills in the future, I, Xiao Li, will definitely provide them for you!" Xiao Li clasped his hands and bowed to Elder Tianyin.

"Hehe, we'll talk about it later, we'll talk about it later." Tianyin Elder smiled and helped Xiao Li up, then looked at Wang Ming.

"Young Wang, do you still recognize this old man?"

Unlike his amiable tone towards Xiao Li, the Heavenly Sound Elder spoke to Wang Ming in a completely different tone, one filled with anger.

"Of course I recognize you, Elder Su. Thank you for saving my disciple and the Xiao family." Wang Ming bowed deeply to Elder Tianyin with his hands clasped together, already drenched in sweat.

"Hmph, the Heavenly Sun Body has been restored, and the cultivation has reached the Two-Star Dou Zun level. There's also that remarkable secret technique from just now, and the soul power has even reached the Spirit Realm. Not bad."

The old man Tianyin looked Wang Ming up and down. He couldn't say he was dissatisfied. He had seen that the boy had great talent back then, but unfortunately, his foundation was destroyed by the Ice River Valley. It was quite remarkable that he could recover completely now.

As for whether he is worthy of his daughter, that's not up to him to decide. In any case, with Wang Ming's current qualifications, becoming a Dou Zun powerhouse and an eighth-grade alchemist is a foregone conclusion.

I just can't stand it no matter how I look at it.

"Sigh~ Go see Yin'er, she misses you a lot." In the end, that was all the old man Tianyin said.

"Okay, kid, I got it."

. . . . . .

"Mang Tianchi! You just wait till I tell you!" Gu Qian and Gu Xu cursed at Mang Tianchi, but they ran away very fast, breaking through space and leaving.

"Hmph! A bunch of weaklings, they're really easy to beat. Qianmu, you've broken through to the Dou Zun level now, you should train hard. You can definitely surpass these kinds of trash!"

Mang Tianchi turned to look at Qianmu. Although Qianmu had only just entered the Dou Zun realm, his path had not yet come to an end, and anything was possible.

"Understood."

Now that Qianmu has reached the Dou Zun level, he understands how big the gap is between Dou Zun. Among the Dou Zun experts present, he seems to be the weakest, while these Dou Zun experts cannot even put up a fight against Mang Tianchi.

"It seems I can't slack off in my cultivation," Qianmu muttered to himself.

Mang Tianchi then strode toward Xiao Li: "Boy, I didn't expect you to be a descendant of the Xiao clan. No wonder you used the alias Wang Li when you came to Zhongzhou. So that's how it is. Remember to be careful of other imperial clans in the future."

I'll take care of things with the Thunder Clan for you, so you don't need to worry. But you need to be careful with the Ancient Clan, Soul Clan, Medicine Clan, and Spirit Clan, especially the Spirit Clan, whose Dou Di bloodline is severely weakened.

Your Xiao clan must have a family heirloom; they will stop at nothing to get their hands on it, so you must be careful.

"I understand, thank you, Dean. Does the Spirit Clan have any information?" Xiao Li asked. He was quite familiar with the Ancient Clan, the Soul Clan, and the Medicine Clan, and knew exactly what their family's structure was.

Wasn't the Spirit Race just mobbed by the Soul Race? How come they can become enemies?

"The current situation of the Spirit Clan is the same as that of the Xiao Clan a thousand years ago. However, back then, the Xiao Clan still had Xiao Xuan and many other Xiao Clan experts to keep it in check. In particular, Xiao Xuan was the leader of the five strongest experts in the world, which made the Xiao Clan the most powerful family."

The Spirit Clan is different. Their Dou Di bloodline is now depleted, and it is difficult for even an eighth-grade bloodline to emerge in the clan. Moreover, the current patriarch of the Spirit Clan, Ling Yuan, has the weakest cultivation among the seven clans, with only a mere six-star Dou Sheng cultivation.

Compared to other clan leaders, the gap is huge, even inferior to the elders of other imperial clans. Moreover, the Spirit Clan is now extremely rare in Dou Sheng, except for one five-star Dou Sheng elder.

The remaining elders are all below the four-star Dou Sheng level, and their numbers are few. Even so, they are still a behemoth, capable of sweeping away any force in the Central Continent except for the Soul Hall and the Pill Tower! You must be careful!

Mang Tianchi told Xiao Li about the Spirit Clan.

"Understood, thank you, Dean." Xiao Li said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

"It's alright, this also serves as repayment for the favor I owe you. If you need my help again in the future, I'll have to charge you a price, but it won't be high—five grade eight pills," Mang Tianchi said with a smile.

"Forehead...."

. . . . . .

"Hehehe, what a show! Jia Xingtian, you'd better think it over. I'm leaving now. If you're interested in making a deal with me, use this horn, and someone will contact you! Hehehe~"

The demon protector vanished in a wisp of black smoke; he had to return to report the news to the palace master.

Jia Xingtian looked at the black horn in his hand, then at the devastated Holy City of Jiama, and gritted his teeth.

. . . . . .

Northwest Continent, Branch Hall

"Wu Ying, keep an eye on the Jia Ma Empire in the Northwest Continent for me during this time. Just keep an eye on it, don't go too deep or you'll lose your life," the Chi Protector said to another dark figure.

"Understood. Where are you going, Protector Chi? The Venerable Elder has not yet returned," Protector Wu inquired.

"This is none of your business. Keep a close eye on the Gama Empire; you'll reap the rewards. I'm going to see the Palace Master now."

The Demon Protector arrived at the spatial wormhole of the branch hall and went straight inside.

"The Jia Ma Empire? What's so special about it?" The protector was completely baffled, but he had to carry out the orders of the demon protector.

The Demon Protector is a Heavenly Protector, and one of the top Heavenly Protectors at that. He is highly regarded by the elders and even appreciated by the Heavenly Venerable.

However, Protector Wu was merely a human-level protector, and was only a novice in this Northwest Branch Hall.
