Silence. The entire place was silent, everyone watching Xiao Yan in silence.
After a moment, the Heavenly Snake Manor Lord slowly spoke, "Interesting, interesting. I've been dominating the Northwestern Continent for so many years, and today is the first time a Dou Emperor has dared to speak to me like that. Young man, I admire your courage.
But today, regardless of your background or strength, I will make you understand the price of offending a Dou Venerate."
Facing the Dou Venerate's intimidation, Xiao Yan revealed a hint of fear on his face.
"I'm so scared."
"Gulp!"
Many people couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
"This kid really isn't afraid of death."
"Very good!" Even with the Heavenly Snake Manor Lord's composure, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. He stared intently at Xiao Yan, and spatial fluctuations appeared in his palm as he slowly raised his hand.
"Wait a moment!" Xiao Yan suddenly raised his hand.
"What, regretting it now?" The Heavenly Snake Manor Lord revealed a playful smile, but even if this kid were to beg on his knees right now, he would still make him suffer. If the forces behind him weren't as strong as his own… "Heh heh!"
Before his smile could fully form, he saw Xiao Yan looking behind him.
"You two, since you're here, don't hide any longer. Come out now, and this young master might consider giving you both a lackey position."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Heavenly Snake Manor Lord's expression shifted slightly, and he abruptly turned to look behind him.
He saw that the previously calm space was once again experiencing fluctuations, and a burly, muscular man and a round, plump old man appeared between heaven and earth.
"It's the Lion冥 Sect Leader and Fu Ding Venerate." Seeing the appearance of these two figures, everyone's expressions changed.
These two were both at the level of Four-Star Dou Venerates, even stronger than the Heavenly Snake Manor Lord, but their personalities were completely different, one righteous and the other evil.
The Lion冥 Sect Leader, Shi Tian, was greedy and lustful. The Lion冥 Sect under his command could be considered one of the top three most evil forces in the Northwestern Continent. The dozen or so empires within a few million miles of the Lion冥 Sect had all suffered from its devastation.
Unfortunately, because the Lion冥 Sect was too powerful, no one had been able to do anything about them all these years.
On the other hand, Fu Ding Venerate was a carefree and affable old man on the continent. Although his talent for alchemy was average, he loved it. Besides his terrifying strength as a Four-Star Dou Venerate, he was also a quasi-8-Rank Alchemist.
His reputation in the Northwestern Continent was quite good, but because he was secretive, not many strong individuals knew him.
Both of them were surprised when Xiao Yan exposed their hiding places, but the way they looked at Xiao Yan was the same as the Heavenly Snake Manor Lord's.
"Boy, hand over the treasure obediently, and I can spare your life." Shi Tian's opening words were domineering as he stared at Xiao Yan, as if he would easily crush him if he disagreed.
On the other side, Fu Ding Venerate looked at Xiao Yan with a smile, as if he saw a treasure.
"Little fellow, your talent is astounding. If you're willing to become my disciple and hand over that treasure, giving me a chance, I'll pass on my lifetime of alchemy skills to you. I might even find a way to cultivate you into an 8-Rank Alchemist.
How about it?"
As soon as these words left his mouth, a group of Dou Emperors and Dou Zuns changed their expressions, and even the other two Dou Zuns showed surprise.
"Damn it, what kind of monster is this kid? He's actually caught the eye of Fu Ding Venerate!"
Many strong individuals watched Xiao Yan with envy. A four-star Dou Zun, plus a prospective 8-Rank Alchemist, offering to take on a disciple… for them, it was a massive opportunity.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Snake Manor Lord and Shi Tian were staring intently at Xiao Yan. The conditions offered by Fu Ding Venerate were indeed tempting, even for the two of them, they could be considered a stroke of luck.
"Why are you so ordinary, yet so confident?" Xiao Yan looked at Fu Ding Venerate speechlessly.
"Young friend, if you give me the treasure, I can let you go to the Heavenly Snake Manor to undergo the Heavenly Snake Baptism." The Heavenly Snake Manor Lord couldn't remain seated any longer.
"Kid, if you dare to hand over the treasure to either of them, even if old man Fu Ding protects you, I'll definitely kill you today!" Seeing the other two Dou Zuns trying to win Xiao Yan over, Shi Tian immediately took out his large cleaver.
"Hey, hey, what do you three think you're doing to me?" Xiao Yan looked at the three of them helplessly.
"I'm the one who's going to take you on as my underlings now, not the other way around, understand?" His words were like a gust of cold wind, and after a moment, Shi Tian burst out laughing.
"It's been a long time since someone talked to me like that. Interesting, interesting. Kid, today I'll let you die a quick death." With that, he raised the large cleaver in his hand.
The strong individuals below Dou Venerate present at the scene changed their expressions upon seeing this, and hurriedly flew towards the distance.
This demon was a ruthless killer, and accidental killings were common.
Seeing Shi Tian's expression, Xiao Yan helplessly waved his hand and said, "Alright, Elder Wen, Elder Wu, let's do it!"
As his voice fell, an invisible wave flashed, and two old men suddenly appeared behind Xiao Yan. Upon seeing these two old men, the three Dou Venerate experts all changed their expressions.
Especially Shi Tian, who turned and ran the moment he saw this scene.
"Want to run?" Xiao Wen's lips curved into a faint smile. With a stretch of his right hand, a massive hand, hundreds of meters in size, materialized out of thin air, seemingly possessing terrifying power capable of overturning clouds and rain.
Xiao Wen's palm pressed downwards, and the giant hand slammed towards Shi Tian.
"Want to catch me? Not so easy!" Feeling the surrounding space had been sealed, Shi Tian sneered. Dozens of hundred-meter-long blade auras instantly slashed out from his great cleaver.
However, when these terrifying blade auras struck the giant hand, they only left a few shallow marks. The hand continued its descent, bearing down with immense force.
"Boom!" The giant hand swatted down on Shi Tian, like swatting a fly. Then, this Dou Venerate powerhouse was slammed deep into the ground.
A moment later, Wen and Wu Saints brought the three Dou Venerate powerhouses, whose Dou Qi had been sealed, before Xiao Yan.
At this moment, the three Dou Venerate powerhouses stared blankly at Xiao Yan and the other two. No matter how experienced and imaginative they were, they couldn't have imagined that a Dou Emperor youth would be accompanied by two Half-Saints.
How many times had they seen a Half-Saint in their entire lives?
"How dare you not kneel when you see our young master?" Xiao Wu snorted coldly, and the three of them immediately plopped down onto their knees in front of Xiao Yan.
"What did you just say to this young master?" Xiao Yan walked in front of Shi Tian, smiling as he patted his face.
"I said Young Master is wise, and I hope Young Master will spare my life," Shi Tian said with a fawning smile.
"I still prefer you when you're arrogant," Xiao Yan chuckled, then asked, "Which faction are you from, and what's your name?"
"Your servant is Shi Tian, the Lion冥 Sect Leader!" Shi Tian still had a fawning smile on his face. He had already made up his mind: if Xiao Yan was willing to take him as a lackey, he would immediately kowtow.
Things like face and principles meant nothing to him.
A Dou Emperor protected by two Half-Saints, the background behind him must be terrifying. If he could latch onto this thigh, he would definitely not be at a disadvantage.
"Lion冥 Sect, Shi Tian?" Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly.
This guy is a villain, alright. In the original story, he seemed to have his eye on his queen.
"Someone like you, who does evil deeds and is two-faced, I wouldn't dare have as a subordinate," he said, waving his hand lightly.
"Elder Wu, kill him."
