"Haha, little guy, your body is tough, I thought you would have to recuperate for at least a month before you have the strength to speak, but I didn't expect that you have regained some strength in only half a month now, which is really surprising. ”

In the spacious hall, an old laugh suddenly came in, and then Hai Bodong's figure slowly appeared in everyone's sight.

Seeing Hai Bodong's hometown, Xiao Yan also smiled slightly, got up to welcome him, and then returned to the martial arts again.

Sitting on the chair, Hai Bodong's eyes carefully swept over Xiao Yan's body, and after a while, a touch of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he exclaimed, "Your breath." "In Hai Bodong's opinion, Xiao Yan's aura at this time was slightly up and down, and it looked a little similar to the situation when he was about to be promoted.

Seeing the surprise on Hai Bodong's face, Xiao Yan nodded with a smile and said softly: "Although I was seriously injured this time, it seems that I have faintly touched the barrier of the Douhuang level, if I am lucky, I may be able to try to impact the Douhuang level soon." ”

Hearing this, Hai Bodong's face was also happy, and he immediately smacked his lips in amazement, and sighed: "You kid, although fighting with a strong person like Yunshan will be of great benefit to you, but I still didn't expect that you could touch the Douhuang barrier. As a Douhuang powerhouse, he naturally knows very well how huge the gap between Douwang and Douhuang is and difficult to cross, back then, he stayed at the peak of Douwang for nearly ten years before he broke through by chance, and now, looking at Xiao Yan's cultivation speed, it really made him a little speechless.

For Hai Bodong's sigh, Xiao Yan smiled, but didn't say anything, according to the original situation, due to his soaring strength underground, the difficulty for him to go further from the peak of the Dou Wang has also risen sharply, so after coming out of the ground, no matter how he cultivates, the strength in his body is still stagnant, except for the more skilled control of the fighting qi in the body, there is no movement, according to his expectations, it will be difficult to really enter the Douhuang level martial arts in two years.

However, the battle of Yunlan Sect that was close to life and death, although it made him linger on the line of life and death several times, it also left endless benefits to him, and this faint touch on the progress of the Douhuang level was the greatest benefit.

If it weren't for this life-and-death battle, it would be obviously impossible for Xiao Yan to touch the Douhuang level at this moment, and this can only be said to be his chance.

The battle between life and death can best explode the hidden potential in the human body, therefore, fighting, is always the fastest shortcut to improve strength, of course, the premise is that you have to ensure that you will not become a cold corpse in that life and death battle, in that case, no matter how to break through, it is useless.

"After your injuries heal, take a good retreat and see if you can successfully break through to the Dou Huang. Hai Bodong reminded with a smile, and then changed his voice and said with a smile: "By the way, you sent someone to inform me to come over, but is there something?"

When it came to business, Xiao Yan's smile on his face was also slightly restrained, his fingers lightly tapped on the table, and he said slowly: "I don't know if Hai Lao has ever heard of the power of the Soul Palace?"

"Soul Palace?" Hearing this, Hai Bodong was stunned, his eyes showed a deep expression, and after a while, he said: "The mysterious powerhouse who appeared in the Yunlan Sect is the powerhouse of this force, right?"

"Hmm. ”

"I really haven't heard much of this force before, but because of that mysterious powerhouse, so during your recuperation, I collected some information about this force, although it is not much, but I also know that this force is extremely powerful, and it is mysterious and weird, specializing in hunting some powerful soul bodies on the continent that have lost **. Hai Bodong frowned and said martial arts.

"My father and teacher are now in their hands, and listening to their meaning, they seem to be very interested in my Xiao family, and in the future, they may send strong people to come. Xiao Yan's eyes flickered with coldness, and he said softly.

Hai Bodong nodded slightly, although he had now uprooted such a powerful force as the Yunlan Sect, the more powerful and terrifying Soul Hall was once again pressed on their heads, making it difficult for them to breathe.

"The Soul Hall is mysterious, few people know where they are, with the strength of our Gamma Empire, it is far from being qualified to contact them, according to my expectations, this Soul Hall may be regarded as an extremely strong force even if it looks at the entire Douqi Continent, and our Gamma Empire, even if it is the Yunlan Sect in the past, can only be regarded as a prestige within the empire, let alone put into the boundless Douqi Continent, even if it is in the northwest of the continent where we are located, it can only be regarded as a second-rate force. Hai Bodong smiled bitterly and sighed: "Don't look at the Yunlan Sect is so strong in the empire, but at the sect conference held every five years in the northwest of the Yi Continent, the treatment is not much better, and you can suffer a lot of ridicule with white eyes." ”

"Sectarian conference?" Hearing this, Xiao Yan was stunned, he had never heard of such a conference.

"The location of our Gama Empire is exactly in the northwest of this continent, and in this huge area, there are at least nearly a hundred large and small countries, and the Gama Empire is just one of them. In each empire, there are some sect forces that are more or less weak, and the total number of them is innumerable. Seeing Xiao Yan's puzzled look, Hai Bodong smiled and explained: "And this sect conference is organized by some of the strongest forces in the Northwest Hell, and its purpose is not very kind, that is, some ambitious guys want to unify all the forces in this Northwest Region, and then become an existence comparable to those top forces on the mainland." ”

"However, no one has reached this ambition until now, this northwest region is too vast, there are many forces in it, and the relationship is complicated, it is not easy to be completely included in the sect, so so far, there has been no real overlord in this southwest region, but only the strong ones are tied, of course, the strong forces here do not include the Yunlan Sect, with the qualifications of the Yunlan Sect, they can only be ranked second-rate in the southwest region. Hai Bodong said with a smile: "But this is the status of the Yunlan Sect when Yun Shan was not there before, after the development of that old guy in the past few years, the strength of the Yunlan Sect has also improved by leaps and bounds, I think, it has been able to barely squeeze into the first-class ranks, if the next sect conference is held, it should make many forces that laughed at the Kuilan Sect shut up, hehe, it's a pity that this wish was broken by your kid." ”

Hearing the news that he had known from Haibo Dong before, Xiao Yan was also amazed, he didn't expect that this Yunlan Sect, which was showing off its might in the Gama Empire, could only have such a status in this northwest region.

"Hehe, by the way, the two Douhuang powerhouses we met in the Mo family back then belonged to the Heavenly Snake Mansion, and this Heavenly Snake Mansion is the real first-class force in the northwest region, and its strength is far superior to that of the Yunlan Sect, and it even almost defeated the sect masters at the sect conference back then and became the overlord of the northwest. Hai Bodong seemed to suddenly remember something, and he moved the martial arts.

"Heavenly Snake Mansion?" Hearing this, Xiao Huan was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered the two mysterious powerhouses he met last when he went to the Mo family to rescue Qing Scale, he didn't expect this force to be stronger than Yun Lan Sect, no wonder his hands and feet can reach the Black Horn Domain, at least, Yun Lan Sect doesn't have the ability to survive in that kind of chaotic place.

"The Heavenly Snake Mansion is located in the Heavenly Snake Kingdom in the center of the northwest region, and its status in the empire is transcendent, compared to the Yunlan Sect in the Gama Empire, and even the royal family change there is due to their secret manipulation, and there are some other forces in that country, but they are all headed by the Heavenly Snake Mansion, and they need to pay a lot of offerings every year. Hai Bodong smiled lightly: "Due to the fact that the Gama Empire has not been established for a long time, and because of the westward part of the Gama Empire, there are generally few foreign powerhouses to enter, except for the great forces of the empire and the royal family, it is difficult for ordinary people to understand this level, if it weren't for the little girl named Qinglan, the people of the Heavenly Snake Mansion would not have come here." ”

Hearing these secrets for the first time, not only Xiao Yan was shocked, but Xiao Li and Xiao Ding on the side were also amazed, they had been in the empire for so many years, but they didn't know anything about these news, seeing the stunned appearance of several people, Hai Bodong smiled, and then glanced at Xiao Yan, and said slowly: "Now that the Yunlan Sect has been dissolved, I'm afraid that the Gama Empire is a sectarian force that can't be taken out."

Looking at Hai Bodong's expression, Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said softly: "What does Hai Lao mean by this?"

"Hehe, little guy, now that your Xiao family is remembered by the Soul Palace, you can't let all the ∮ who have been falsely accused hide incognito in the mountains, right?"

Xiao Yan sank, he promised his father that if he wanted to revitalize the Xiao family, it was naturally impossible for everyone in the clan to be a woodcutter in the mountains and fields.

"Since you can't be incognito, if you want to protect your clansmen, you alone will naturally be a little weak, so you need to have a strong enough force. Hai Bodong's eyes flashed, and he smiled: "Now that the Yunlan Sect is dissolved, it is the best opportunity to gradually develop in the future, if it can be ranked among the powerhouses in the Northwest Region, even if the Soul Hall wants to move the people of the Xiao family, it is impossible to slaughter at will as in the past, and even if you can become the overlord of this Northwest Region in the future, even with the strength of the Soul Palace, you will be so afraid, and besides, you want to rescue your teacher and father, and let you search the mainland alone, how many years will you get?"

Xiao Yan showed a deep expression on his face, nodded slightly after a long time, and said: "Hai Lao's words are indeed reasonable, but if you want to start from scratch and form a force that can squeeze into the Northwest Region, how easy is it to say, my nature is not suitable for starting a sect, and in this kind of thing, I can't say that I will interfere with my cultivation and martial arts."

"Hehe, there are some things that you don't need to do in person, you have more suitable people to take care of them for you, and then you just need to be a hands-off shopkeeper and cultivate with peace of mind. Hai Bodong smiled, looked at Xiao Ding and Xiao Li beside Xiao Yan, and said with a smile: "As for starting from scratch, it's not like that, with your current reputation in the Gamma Empire, as long as you wave your arms, there are countless strong vassals coming in, and at this moment, the major families of the empire are all watching your actions, follow you, they will get greater benefits." ”

Seeing Hai Lao's smiling appearance, Xiao Yan's eyes flickered, and after a while, his eyes narrowed, nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "In this case, after my injuries are healed, please ask Hai Lao to help me contact the Fa Lao and the patriarchs of several major families, this Gama Empire's heaven should also change!"

Hearing this, Hai Bodong nodded with a smile, he always believed that Xiao Yan's footsteps should not stop at a Gama Empire, the huge Douqi Continent, and this would be the place for him to play.
