143: Blocking the road, the leader of the Black Annihilation Army, Lingquan!

Chapter 143: Roadblock, Black Annihilation Army Commander, Ling Quan!

Ten days had passed since Yao Tianhuo returned to the Gama Empire.

Representatives from sects of the three major empires—the Poison Sect, the Golden Geese Sect, and Mulan Valley—as well as other forces like the Myriad Scorpions Gate, all arrived in the Gama Empire.

On the first day, a banquet was held. Soul Cang made an appearance, briefly spoke about a few things, settled the leadership of the Cang Alliance, and then handed the subsequent matters over to Medusa.

There were no disputes or unexpected incidents at the banquet.

Perhaps it was due to their strength.

Soul Cang didn't pay attention to the specific details, but he later heard Ya Fei mention that her family's Mittel Auction House would no longer be limited to the Gama Empire in the future.

As the wealthiest family in the Gama Empire, taking this step indicated that the family's strength would undoubtedly reach a higher level in the future.

Ya Fei knew that the family's current success was inextricably linked to Soul Cang.

For this, that night, Ya Fei, after a few drinks, returned with a flushed face and tried several positions with Soul Cang that she had previously been unwilling to attempt.

While Soul Cang was consolidating the Gama Empire, on the other side, Xiao Yan at Canaan Academy was also preparing to return home.

“Senior Apprentice Sister, this is your medicinal pill, and it’s the last one,” Xiao Yan handed the item to Zi Yan in front of him.

“Thanks,” Zi Yan smiled slightly, “If you ever need help again, just tell me.”

Xiao Yan shook his head: “I’m preparing to go back.”

Zi Yan was stunned for a moment and asked: “Go back where?”

“Back to the Gama Empire, back home,” Xiao Yan said with a smile, his eyes filled with anticipation and longing.

Previously, for the Three-Year Agreement, he had been separated from his father for two years. Later, after bringing his father to the Gama Empire, he had to come to Canaan Academy.

He had been here for nearly two years again.

“Home…” Zi Yan murmured.

Xiao Yan saw her in low spirits and couldn't help but feel a little confused. In his impression, Senior Apprentice Sister Zi Yan rarely showed such an expression.

Zi Yan explained: “I’ve grown up and have no impression of home at all. I don’t even know where my family is.”

Xiao Yan was startled and said: “How about you, Senior Apprentice Sister, come to my home to visit?”

Zi Yan looked at him: “Can I?”

Xiao Yan nodded and said: “Of course you can, it’s no big deal. Besides, aren’t you looking to spar with my Big Brother? He’s there too.”

‘You’re probably no match for my Big Brother.’

Xiao Yan said this in his heart. He remembered that before he left, Big Brother’s strength had already broken through to the Dou Zong realm.

“Okay, I’ll go tell the Elder now. Before we depart tomorrow, wait for me,” Zi Yan skipped away.

After standing at the entrance for a while, Xiao Yan walked to the small courtyard where the Xiao Family lived.

The weather was nice today, the sun hung high in the sky, and the temperature was pleasant.

In the courtyard, Xiao Mei was playing games with the two little treasures.

Xiao Yu was usually quite busy because she had to manage the affairs of the Cang Alliance. Additionally, with the recent expansion of the Cang Alliance, which now had a base in the Black-Corner Region, its members were no longer limited to just academy personnel.

Therefore, many rules and regulations, as well as reward mechanisms, needed to be redefined.

At that time, Xiao Yu was involved in all these matters, and she couldn't be absent.

Xiao Yan walked in, teased the children, and asked: “I’m planning to return to the Gama Empire tomorrow. Are you and Cousin Xiao Yu going back? My Big Brother is there too.”

Xiao Mei said: “I don’t know. Let’s ask Cousin Xiao Yu for her opinion.”

Xiao Yan nodded.

In the evening, Xiao Yu returned, accompanied by Xiao Xun'er.

Xiao Yan brought up the matter of returning again and also mentioned the two children.

“I don’t have time recently,” Xiao Yu showed a troubled expression and looked at Xiao Yan, “You go back first. Lord Cang King is always busy. You can inquire how long he will stay in the Gama Empire.”

Traveling thousands of miles with two children was not easy.

Especially since the two children were still young.

Xiao Yu didn't want to rush back only to find that Soul Cang had left again, which would be very troublesome.

Xiao Yan said: “That’s true. Then I’ll go back first.”

After speaking, he looked at Xiao Xun'er and said: “Xun'er, come back with me.”

For some reason, ever since she entered the room, Xiao Xun'er had seemed downcast, as if something was on her mind, and she hadn't spoken at all.

At this moment, hearing Xiao Yan’s words, Xiao Xun'er shook her head slightly: “No, Big Brother Xiao Yan, I’m going home tomorrow too.”

Home? Xiao Yan was stunned. Wasn’t the Xiao Family Xiao Xun'er’s home?

Wait!

Suddenly, Xiao Yan thought of something and said: “Are you referring to your own home?”

Xiao Xun'er nodded: “Yes.”

After a two-second pause, she added: “Big Brother Xiao Yan, after I go back, you must work hard to become stronger. I’ll wait for you to come find me.”

As she spoke, Xiao Xun'er’s eyes were full of deep affection.

All along, Xiao Yan also harbored feelings for Xiao Xun'er.

He hadn't expected that there would be a day when they would separate, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Coming back to his senses, Xiao Yan said seriously: “I promise you, I will definitely come to find you. However, how will I find you then?”

Xiao Xun'er said: “Your Big Brother knows.”

Xiao Yan showed a surprised expression, looking at Xiao Xun'er in shock.

Xiao Yan had always been very curious about Big Brother’s origins. From Big Brother’s generous spending, he knew that Big Brother’s background was definitely extraordinary.

But he hadn't expected that the seemingly ordinary Xiao Xun'er also had such a powerful background, just like Soul Cang.

After all, for Big Brother to know, it proved that the force behind Xiao Xun'er was certainly not ordinary.

After the meal, everyone had something on their minds and seemed a bit silent.

Xiao Mei and Xiao Yu took the children and put them to bed early.

Outside the courtyard, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er sat on rattan chairs, both looking up at the starry sky.

“Xun'er, you’re unwilling to tell me the exact location, is it because your family opposes us?” Xiao Yan asked.

In the brief silence, Xiao Xun'er softly hummed in affirmation, but then immediately said: “However, I believe in you, Big Brother Xiao Yan. You are so excellent, you will definitely be able to prove yourself.”

Xiao Yan didn't speak.

At this moment, he hated himself for not being as formidable and powerful as Big Brother.

If he had Big Brother’s strength, would it mean he could accompany Xun'er back?

That night, neither of them felt sleepy and talked all night on the rattan chairs.

From childhood anecdotes to various events that happened as they grew older.

In a sense, the two were almost inseparable, growing up together.

Xiao Yan was still full of reluctance about Xiao Xun'er’s departure.

The next day, Xiao Yan’s body trembled, and he realized that he had fallen asleep in the rattan chair at some point.

He stood up and rushed into the house, but Xiao Xun'er was nowhere to be seen.

“Xun'er is gone…” Instantly, Xiao Yan’s heart felt empty.

After eating breakfast together, Xiao Yan bid farewell to Xiao Yu and others, and then said goodbye to the instructors, elders, and Lin Fang, among others.

Subsequently, Xiao Yan and Zi Yan rode a flying magical beast to Peace Town, heading straight for the Black-Corner Region.

Next, they would ride a flying magical beast back to the Gama Empire.

Although they could fly, it was too tiring; riding a magical beast was more comfortable.

However, not long after stepping out of Peace Town, Xiao Yan was stopped by a group of people.

The newcomers were riding a type of magical beast Xiao Yan had never seen before.

These magical beasts had a single silver horn on their heads, covered with strange patterns, from which faint sounds of wind and thunder could be heard. The magical beasts also had two pairs of extremely wide wings on their backs.

The people riding the magical beasts were all wearing purple-black robes and had expressionless faces.

“Who are you people? I don’t seem to know you. Why are you blocking our way?” Xiao Yan came back to his senses, shielding Zi Yan behind him, his expression grave.

He couldn't sense the aura of any of these people in front of him.

The only young man standing on a magical beast asked from above: “You are Xiao Yan, right?”

Xiao Yan nodded: “It’s me!”

“Then it’s correct,” the young man said indifferently, “Listen carefully, I am Ling Quan, the newly promoted Deputy Commander of the Black Annihilation Army, responsible for escorting the Young Lady back to the clan this time!”
