Battle Through the Heavens: I confronted Xiao Yan, and he begged me to be his elder brother.

Chapter 60 Hai Bodong: Do you really think this is your home?

Hun Cang intended to stay for a long time. He first set up a simple protective barrier around himself to prevent his aura from leaking out, then took out the black jade lotus platform and the medicine cauldron.

Before he began his cultivation, he concocted some medicines that would help him with his cultivation.

After doing all this, he placed the object recording the energy of fire into the groove.

As the fire energy diminished, Hun Cang began his cultivation.

……

A city stands in the golden desert.

In a shop in the city, an old man was wiping the dust off the counter with a rag.

In the desert, the wind inevitably blows, creating dust.

If you don't clean it over time, the whole house will be covered in dust.

After wiping down the last corner, the old man threw the rag heavily on the table and sighed, "It's been almost half a year, and there's still no news."

Hai Bodong had a vague suspicion that the guy might have lied to him.

Why did I forget to ask for the exact time?

He felt extremely remorseful whenever he recalled the scene of Hun Cang's departure.

Day after day, I don't know when it will end.

What if I leave and the other person comes by but I'm not in the store and miss them?

But what if we have to wait ten or twenty years?

Daily reflection has become a mandatory course for Hai Bodong, and it's almost become a knot in his heart.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside, accompanied by a voice: "Hey, are you Old Man Hai?"

Hai Bodong looked up and saw a young man walk into the store with his head held high and chest out. The weapon that protruded from the young man's back was particularly eye-catching.

He frowned slightly: "I don't know you. You've got the wrong person."

"Wrong place?" Xiao Yan was taken aback. He took a few steps back to the door, looked up at the sign, and then walked back in. "This is the shop. Others said the owner's surname is Hai. How could there be a mistake? Hey old man, call your boss out. I need to talk to him."

"Who are you? What do you want with him?" Hai Bodong looked at him warily.

"None of your business," Xiao Yan said indifferently, casually flipping through the shelves. Suddenly, an ancient painting with a peculiar texture caught his attention.

Xiao Yan exclaimed in surprise, picked up the ancient map, and found that it had obvious signs of being cut. Moreover, judging from the gaps, it seemed to match the one he had found in the cave in the Monster Mountain Range.

Thinking of this, he took out the picture directly, and the two matched perfectly.

"I didn't expect to find something unexpected here." Xiao Yan was overjoyed and immediately put away the two pictures, as they contained information about the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.

Beside him, Hai Bodong slammed his hand on the table: "Kid, do you really think this is your own home? You just took things without asking permission?"

Xiao Yan glanced at him: "Are you Old Man Hai?"

"That's right." Hai Bodong stopped pretending. After observing for a while, he confirmed that the young man was just an ordinary seven-star Dou Shi, not even a great Dou Shi.

Even if his strength is sealed, he is still a Fighting Spirit, so there is no need to be afraid.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes lit up. This was the bodyguard his elder brother had arranged for him?

Just as he was about to speak, he felt a chill and the shop door behind him slammed shut. He paused, startled. "Old man, why are you closing the door?"

"What do you think?" Hai Bodong said in a chilling tone. With a wave of his hands, several ice crystal spears condensed from the cold air around him and then rushed towards Xiao Yan.

The whooshing sound of air being cut made Xiao Yan's scalp tingle. Although he hadn't touched it yet, he could feel the force contained within it, which was definitely not small and certainly not something a Dou Shi like himself could withstand.

"Old man, come out and help!" Xiao Yan called out immediately.

Hai Bodong was taken aback. He looked around warily. Was someone still hiding in the shadows?

"Tsk tsk, what did someone just say? Who said they were about to get bodyguards and looked down on this old man? How dare they ask for help now?" a voice rang out.

At the same time, several ice spears seemed to be bound by an invisible force, frozen in mid-air, unable to move.

"Hoo..." Xiao Yan looked at the ice spear that was less than a fist's distance away from him, and he could already feel the chill emanating from it. He let out a long sigh.

Hai Bodong's gaze sharpened as he looked at the transparent figure that had emerged beside the young man: "A soul entity? Who exactly are you people? I've roamed the Gama Empire for many years, and I don't recall ever offending you, have I?"

Although they hadn't fought yet, his long experience had been constantly warning him, as if telling him that the soul was not something he could provoke.

Xiao Yan grabbed several ice spears and slammed them to the ground. Watching them shatter into pieces, he looked up at Hai Bodong and said, "Old man, are you suffering from dementia? Why didn't you even ask before you attacked?"

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

He took a breath: "Besides, do you know what the consequences will be if you hurt me? Do you know I have a powerful backer?!"

"Big brother? Who?" Hai Bodong's face tightened, and he cursed his bad luck in his heart. He had been living in seclusion for decades and had always been safe and sound. Why did everything happen to him this year?

First, a young Dou Huang appeared out of nowhere, and now a reckless teenager has come in, entering the store as if he were home, stuffing things into his storage ring without saying a word.

This is truly bizarre!

He initially thought the other party was just a hothead, but he never expected that the other party not only had a terrifyingly powerful soul protection, but also had a hidden force behind him!

No, once this is over, we have to find another place. We can't stay here anymore; it's too unsafe.

Hai Bodong's mind raced, and he made a decision. Then he heard the young man opposite him say, "My elder brother, Hun Cang, you've heard of his great name, haven't you?"

"What?!" Hai Bodong was stunned, then his face lit up with excitement: "Say it again, you're not kidding? You really know Hun Cang?"

Xiao Yan snorted: "What's the point of me lying to an old man? To tell you the truth, my older brother asked me to deliver something to you."

As he spoke, he took out a porcelain bottle containing pills from his storage ring and tossed it over.

Hai Bodong exclaimed "Ah!" and anxiously scrambled out from behind the counter, carefully catching the bottle. He opened it, looked at the pills inside, and asked incredulously, "What's the name of this pill?"

"I forgot," Xiao Yan said after thinking for a moment.

Hai Bodong's lips twitched. How could he forget something so important? Should he eat or not?

He looked at Xiao Yan and felt that the kid was unreliable. Although he could say the name Hun Cang, the two must know each other. But he was worried that the other party might take the wrong pill.

Yao Chen took in Hai Bodong's expression, glanced at Xiao Yan, and sighed helplessly, "This is the Breaking Calamity Pill. If I'm not mistaken, your strength is more than just Dou Ling, but is sealed by some kind of power within your body, right?"

"Yes, sir, you are very knowledgeable." Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong stared at the porcelain bottle in his hand, unable to hide the joy in his eyes. He didn't bother with small talk, excused himself, and hurriedly went to the back of the house.

Clearly, Hai Bodong, having lived in seclusion for decades, is eager to regain his strength.
