60: Three great empires are coming!

Xiao Yan felt even more grateful upon hearing this, but he no longer offered excessive thanks, instead turning to discuss his plans.

"Now that the Three-Year Agreement is concluded and the hidden danger of the Cloud Mist Sect is removed, my affairs in the Jia Ma Empire are settled. I plan to depart for the Black-Corner Region soon."

"Black-Corner Region?" Jiang Luo raised an eyebrow. "That place is chaotic and dangerous, why choose to go there?"

"Precisely because of its danger, it can better temper oneself," a sharp glint flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes.

"I need stronger power. Although the Black-Corner Region is chaotic, it harbors many Opportunities. Moreover, I took a leave of absence from Jia Nan Academy years ago, and it has been overdue for a long time. If I don't hurry back, I'm afraid I'll be expelled."

Towards the end, he couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.

His years of training in the Jia Ma Empire were originally to prepare for the Three-Year Agreement. Now that the Three-Year Agreement has concluded, there is no longer any need for him to stay.

Furthermore, if he wants to Cultivate the Burning Technique, a different flame is also indispensable.

However, the vast Jia Ma Empire has already produced one Green Lotus Core Flame, and the possibility of a second one appearing is almost zero.

So, at present, besides going to the Black-Corner Region, he really doesn't have any good places to go.

Jiang Luo nodded in understanding; he knew Xiao Yan was never one to be content with the status quo.

"Since you've decided, it's good to go and explore. However, the Black-Corner Region is treacherous, so you must be cautious in your actions and not be impulsive."

"Thank you for the reminder, Lord Jiang Luo, I will keep it in mind." Xiao Yan cupped his hands again. "The journey ahead is long, we shall meet again."

Jiang Luo watched his figure disappear at the alley entrance, pondering to himself.

Now that the Jia Ma Empire has just been stabilized, most of the Opportunities that could be found have been found.

Once the Jiang Clan is established, it will be time to leave this small world and explore higher Realms in the center of the continent. After all, his goal is to become a Dou Zun and Dou Sheng, which can never be achieved by staying in one corner.

After seeing Xiao Yan off, half a year quietly passed.

On the former site of the Cloud Mist Sect, a brand new force rose from the ground.

Blue tiles and vermillion walls replaced the former Sect palaces, and the words "Jiang Clan" above the main gate were written with powerful strokes, exuding stability and grandeur.

The courtyard was no longer a desolate training ground, but had pavilions and waterside structures, and even the stone paths were lined with flowers and plants, full of vitality everywhere.

The Jiang Clan is mostly composed of core members of the Mittel Family, as well as some Loose Cultivators rescued by Jiang Luo who were willing to follow him. They are currently managing the Clan's affairs in an orderly manner, presenting a thriving scene.

However, this tranquility did not last long.

On this day, Jiang Luo was in the Clan's council hall, discussing the details of the Snake-People Clan's migration to Sunset Plain with Hai Bodong and Mittel Tengshan, when hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall.

A scout stumbled in, his face pale: "Lord! This is bad! The allied forces of the Izumo, Luo Yan, and Admiring Orchid Three Great Empires have already breached the border defenses! Lord Jia Xingtian, whom you sent to the border earlier, is now trapped in Blackrock City, and the allied forces are approaching the imperial capital!"

Hai Bodong's expression suddenly changed upon hearing this: "Although Jia Xingtian was relegated to the border, he is still the imperial family's only Peak Dou Huang expert. Even he is besieged, which shows how fierce the allied forces are!"

The scout continued: "Lord, according to previous reports, the allied forces' total strength exceeds 200,000, and they are led by three Dou Zong-level powerhouses!"

"Xie Bi Yan, a four-star Dou Zong from the Izumo Empire, Yan Luotian, a two-star Dou Zong from the Luo Yan Empire, and the Three Elders of Mu Lan who can jointly contend with a Dou Zong!"

"They clearly calculated that Jia Xingtian would be isolated and helpless at the border, intending to first capture Blackrock City, then push straight through!"
