Fight to break the sky

Chapter 356 The way home

Looking at Queen Medusa who restrained her murderous intent in an instant, Xiao Yan could only smile bitterly. This woman was able to make all the powerful men in the Degama Empire fear her. Sure enough, it was not just a false reputation.

"Where do you plan to go next?" Queen Medusa asked casually as she threw the prescription for the Spirit Fusion Pill back to Xiao Yan.

Taking the prescription carefully, Xiao Yan pondered for a while and said, "I want to go back to Wutan City first, and then maybe leave the Jia Ma Empire for a while."

"Are you leaving the Gama Empire?" Hearing this, Queen Medusa frowned slightly, then nodded slightly and said lazily: "It's up to you. Anyway, within the Snake Tribe, several of their leaders can temporarily replace me. existence, I will always follow you until you refine the spirit-melting elixir."

Seeing that she did not object, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, patted the huge black ruler behind his back with his palm, and said with a smile: "In that case, let's go."

"The matter with the Yunlan Sect has been completed. You are not in a hurry now, right? On your way to Wutan City, when passing through several big cities, stop for a while and find me the medicinal materials for refining the Spirit Fusion Pill." Queen Medusa said calmly, although her tone seemed to be discussing, but she could not refuse Xiao Yan.

In this regard, Xiao Yan could only nod helplessly, glanced at Queen Medusa's charming face, shrugged his shoulders and said: "I suggest you cover your appearance when you enter the city, otherwise If so, some unnecessary trouble would be quite a headache.”

Nodding her head lightly, Queen Medusa turned around and walked slowly towards the edge of the dense forest path.

Looking at that curling and alluring figure, Xiao Yan spread his hands, turned his head, and looked at the looming bluestone steps at the end of his line of sight. His line of sight slowly moved up, and finally stopped on the mountain peak shrouded in clouds and mist, silent. After a moment, he sighed softly. The agreement that had bound him for three years was finally completely removed. After the goal that had made him work hard for three years faded away, he suddenly felt a little confused. , However, the confusion did not last long. The girl's elegant smile that suddenly appeared in his mind caused a warm arc to rise on his face.

"Xun'er, are you okay there? Wait for me." He murmured in a low voice. Thinking of the girl he hadn't seen for nearly two years, Xiao Yan felt a ball of fire in his heart.

Turning around, Xiao Yan glanced at the moving figure who had already walked out of the dense forest, smiled, and hurriedly chased after him.

After leaving Yunlan Mountain, Xiao Yan did not return to the imperial capital. Instead, he and Queen Medusa directly changed their route and flew away in the direction of Wutan City.

The distance between the imperial capital and Wutan City spans nearly half of the empire. Even at the flying speed of Xiao Yan and Xiao Yan, it would take at least two or three days to reach such a huge territory. Moreover, Due to Queen Medusa's request, Xiao Yan had to stop in the big cities he passed along the way, waiting for the auction house and that kind of trade fair to open. As a result, the travel time was greatly shortened. Procrastination, but fortunately now that the three-year agreement has ended, Xiao Yan has also broken away from the previous life of living at the same time every day. Along the way, there are no constraints and psychological burdens. He is swaying, but he is relaxed and comfortable. And this kind of leisurely life, Xiao Yan has never really enjoyed it since the three-year appointment began.

In the first three days of rushing home, although the two of them stayed in some big cities for a while, unfortunately, Queen Medusa was a little disappointed that the strange medicinal materials for refining the Spirit Fusion Pill turned out to be continuous. Not a single one was found, and she was helpless about this. After all, if the materials for refining the sixth-grade elixir were so easy to find, then their value would not be so expensive.

The two of them walked and stopped along the way, just like watching flowers. However, what surprised Xiao Yan was that the three-day trading time mentioned by Queen Medusa had obviously come, but she still had not turned back into a human. Regarding the shape of the sky-swallowing python, her explanation was that she had privately discussed it with the soul of the sky-swallowing python, so she just delayed the time to change back.

Although Xiao Yan was a little stunned by this explanation, there was nothing he could do about it. If she didn't go back, couldn't he still have the ability to force her to go back? When the time comes, it will be nothing more than a slap in the face, vomiting blood and serious injuries.

As time passed quietly, Xiao Yan and Queen Medusa were getting closer and closer to the area of ​​Wutan City. Due to the delay in searching for medicinal materials, the journey that was originally only two or three days turned out to be enough. It took almost five days.

Black Flame City is a large city in the northern province of the empire. It is not far from Wutan City. With the speed of Xiao Yan and the two of them, they can reach it in less than half a day. However, since this city is in the northern province It has always been famous as a city of medicinal herbs, so Queen Medusa quickly lowered her figure before asking Xiao Yan for his opinion. She covered her cheeks with a thin piece of green gauze in the suburbs and then Shi Shiran. Heading towards the Black Flame City, Xiao Yan had no choice but to hold back his eagerness to return home and followed her helplessly.

The two walked into the city leisurely without any obstruction. Although the eyes of the soldiers guarding the city were uncontrollably scanning the mature and plump body of Queen Medusa, maybe it was because of the back. Because of the aura of the former high-ranking officer, the few soldiers who were a little ready to move did not dare to come forward for questioning.

After entering the city, Xiao Yan led the way along the street for a short distance, and then turned into a restaurant with a large flow of people. Due to the strong folk customs in the northern part of the empire, this kind of restaurant can only be seen frequently in the northern provinces of the empire. Luxurious places like the Imperial Capital are not common.

This kind of restaurant is home to three religions and nine sects, and a lot of the empire's folk information is spread in these places. Therefore, it can quickly help Xiao Yan know where the most and best medicinal materials are in this city.

The two of them walked up to the restaurant and sat down by the window. Queen Medusa held her fragrant cheeks in her hand and stared out of the window with an expression of indifference. In the past few days, all the things she had asked for information about It was Xiao Yan who came forward.

Seeing her look like this, Xiao Yan could only helplessly shake his head, waved his hand to call a maid over, ordered some drinks that were not too strong, then stood up and squeezed into some crowded places. In the past, after struggling like this for a long time, I was sweating profusely and retreated to the table. Looking at Queen Medusa who was sipping her wine comfortably, I couldn't help but sigh depressingly. This woman's airs were also... It's a bit too big.

"How's it going? Did you ask clearly?" Queen Medusa said softly as her beautiful eyes glanced at Xiao Yan.

"It is said that there is a very famous medicine gathering hall in this city. There are many rare medicinal materials in stock there, but the price is extremely expensive." Xiao Yan picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and said angrily.

"Take a rest and go to the Herb Collection Hall later." Nodding with some satisfaction, Queen Medusa said with a smile.

Rolling his eyes, Xiao Yan patted the black ruler on his back, but was too lazy to speak anymore.

"Hey, have you heard about the Yunlan Sect?" While Xiao Yan and the two were resting quietly, a mysterious voice suddenly sounded from the table not far away, which made Xiao Yan turn his eyes. Throw it in.

"Tch, you're talking about that young man named Xiao Yan causing trouble in the Yunlan Sect, right?" A man curled his lips in disdain at his mysterious companion.

"Uh, you know everything?" The person who spoke before was suddenly startled and said awkwardly.

"Such a big thing was reported two days ago. Xiao Yan defeated Nalan Yanran, the young master of the Yunlan Sect, in a formal competition. I heard that it was because Nalan Yanran broke off the engagement back then. Well, now it seems that the news that Nalan Yanran was forcibly divorced by Xiao Yan is quite reliable. Looking at the strength and talent shown by Xiao Yan now, coupled with her acceptance Lan Yanran, that’s more than enough.”

"Um, what happened next?"

"Later, it was said that Yunlan Sect seemed to want to keep Xiao Yan, hehe, but although he was young, the strong man behind him was shockingly terrifying. I heard that the battle that day ended not only Two powerful fighting emperors were brought out, and even Queen Medusa of the Snake Tribe showed up. Even though the Yunlan Sect tried its best, Xiao Yan was still able to escape unscathed."

"Queen Medusa?" As soon as the name was spoken, the people around her exclaimed.

"Hehe, according to reliable information, that Xiao Yan is still the winner of this Alchemist Conference." The surprised looks around him made the man's vanity soar. He smiled and revealed the shocking news again.

"Isn't the champion of the Medicine Refining Conference called Yan Xiao?" A low voice suddenly sounded.

"Yan Xiao, Xiao Yan, just read it upside down, haha," the man said with a proud smile.

"Uh." The people around him were stunned, and then suddenly realized that although this kind of name thing is worthless if it is pointed out, who in the right mind would read a name upside down?

"Oh, this guy is incredible. At such a young age, he can do such earth-shattering things. How can he do it when he grows up?" The man took a strong sip of strong ale wine and sighed with some envy. Which one? Men, don’t you have this kind of passionate dream in your heart to do something big? It's just that because of limited abilities, many people are destined to only dream.

Listening to the conversation with some astonishment, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head. He didn't expect that in just a few days, the news about the Yunlan Sect would actually reach the other side of the empire.

"You are also a celebrity now." Queen Medusa said jokingly, shaking the wine glass in her hand.

Spreading his hands, Xiao Yan smiled lightly and said, "I'm not interested in this thing. Okay, let's go and see if there are any herbs we need in the Herb Collection Hall."

"Um."

Standing up, Xiao Yan and Queen Medusa were about to leave, but the conversation on the table next to them made his expression change slightly.

"Then Xiao Yan seems to be a member of the Xiao family in Wutan City, right?"

"Yes, the Xiao family has shown its face this time. With this terrifying clan member, who else in the northern provinces will dare to disrespect the Xiao family in the future?"

"Hehe, that's not necessarily true. I just came from Wutan City not long ago. I heard that the Xiao family has also encountered some troubles in the past two days."

"Huh? At this time, there are still people who dare to trouble the Xiao family?"

"I don't know about this. The Xiao family keeps it very secret, so I don't know the exact information." The man shook his head, lowered his head and took a sip of wheat wine, but suddenly he was stunned, slowly raised his head, and looked at A young man in black robe appeared in front of him. The majestic aura lingering around him made him, who was just a two-star fighter, swallow his saliva and said cautiously: "My lord, what do you want?"

"You just said, what happened to the Xiao family?" Xiao Yan asked in a deep voice.

"Well, I don't know very well. I just heard that a fierce battle seemed to have broken out in the Xiao family two days ago, and then the Xiao family refused to allow any outsiders to enter. Moreover, since then, Xiao Zhan, who has been showing up frequently, The clan leader hasn’t shown up much either. I guess he’s sorting out family affairs, right?” the man said anxiously.

His face gradually darkened, and Xiao Yan suddenly felt uneasy. After thanking the man, he turned around and hurried down the stairs with Queen Medusa.

"The weapon on this man's back is quite weird." Looking at Xiao Yan who disappeared at the stairs, a person suddenly whispered.

"Weapon? Ruler?" The man before was startled. Suddenly, something seemed to sound. A look of horror gradually appeared on his face, and he said in a voiceless voice: "He is Xiao Yan?! He is so young?"

At this time, Xiao Yan naturally ignored the commotion in the restaurant. After going downstairs, he stood on the street, frowning, looking at Queen Medusa, and said: "I can't stay, I want to go back to Ukraine first. The city has been conquered."

Hearing this, Queen Medusa frowned slightly and said calmly: "Let's take a look at the pharmacy here first, just in case there are any medicinal materials I need."

"I said, I want to return to Wutan City now!" Xiao Yan stared at Queen Medusa with sharp eyes and said in a deep voice.

Xiao Yan's suddenly toughened attitude made Queen Medusa stunned. In the past few days, Xiao Yan had never violated anything he said to her. She didn't expect that he would directly contradict her at this time. , which made Queen Medusa, who was honored as the king of her clan, a little angry.

"I am looking for medicinal materials!" Queen Medusa said slowly, her charming eyes staring at Xiao Yan coldly.

Staring intently at the pair of eyes that fascinated the man, Xiao Yan suddenly reached out his hand, and under Queen Medusa's astonished gaze, tightly grasped the soft and boneless hand in his hand, and held it behind her Before the attack was about to break out, he said coldly: "If you want the Melting Pill, don't act like a queen to me. I respected you earlier because you helped me get out of trouble. If you continue to be so messy, it's unreasonable." Be reasonable, don’t blame me for not showing any mercy to you."

"Walk!"

After saying that, Xiao Yan pulled her and ran quickly outside the city. Queen Medusa seemed to be shocked by Xiao Yan's sudden coldness that was completely different from the previous time. There was no resistance, but her beautiful eyes stared at the former with some astonishment. She never thought that with her status, someone would dare to yell at her so fiercely.

For a moment, Queen Medusa suddenly felt a little bit dumbfounded. How many years had she not been treated like this? Moreover, this person is just a young master who can be slapped away by her. Is he really too long-lived?

Pulling Queen Medusa and flying out of the city, Xiao Yan quickly summoned Ziyun Wing, and then rushed towards Wutan City.

In such an almost extreme rush, in just two hours, the outline of a looming city appeared vaguely in Xiao Yan's field of vision.
