97: If you want, I can get you a few to play with later.
At the same time, in the Cangyun Mountains.
As the boundary mountain range between Cang State and Barren State, it is frequented by numerous adventurers and harbors many high-level demonic beasts year-round.
Killing and plundering are as common as daily meals in this endless mountain range.
When Xiao Chen and his group left Tiandu City, in a certain part of the depths of the Cangyun Mountains, a Grey-robed Old Man also opened his eyes.
"They've started moving..."
As this hoarse sentence echoed, the others around him also suddenly opened their eyes.
"Are they coming this way?!"
One of the young men quickly ran over, looking at the Old Man's compass, and asked impatiently.
This group.
They were the powerhouses from Prince Zhennans Mansion and Burning Flame Valley, and the one who spoke was the Young Master, Duan Haoming.
And that Grey-robed Old Man was one of the Heavenly Human Realm retainers of Prince Zhennans Mansion.
Named Hu Wansheng.
He possessed a cultivation of the Heavenly Human Fourth Realm and was skilled in formation arrangement and tracking methods.
"They just set off from Tiandu City; the specific route can't be determined yet."
"But looking at the direction of movement, it's towards Cang State, that's for sure."
Hearing Duan Haoming's words, Hu Wansheng slightly raised his eyelids and replied in a somewhat hoarse voice.
After speaking, the Old Man closed his eyes again, too lazy to bother with this rich second generation.
"Brother Duan, calm down."
Seeing Duan Haoming's impatient manner, Yang Xiao walked over and said calmly.
"Tiandu City is tens of thousands of miles away from here; even a Heaven Rank xuan boat takes half a day to fly."
"This is the only way to Wanhua Sect. As long as they are in a hurry to return to Wanhua Sect, they will definitely pass through the Cangyun Mountains."
Of course.
If Wanhua Sect acted cautiously and thought someone might be ambushing them here, they might bypass this mountain range.
But that possibility is too low.
After all, Wanhua Sect dispatched two Heavenly Human Realm Elders on this trip.
In their opinion.
No force should send several Heavenly Human Realm powerhouses to snatch a Xuanqing Snow Lotus Pill.
In the process of fighting.
If a Heavenly Human Realm powerhouse is unfortunately severely injured or killed, it cannot be compensated by a single Heaven Rank pill.
Therefore, it is highly probable that the Wanhua Sect group will not take a detour. This is due to their confidence in their own strength!
"That's good!"
Hearing Yang Xiao's words, Duan Haoming revealed a sinister smile, and his expression became increasingly frantic.
If this time.
They could successfully intercept and kill Nangong Jing and her group, Wanhua Sect would suffer a major blow.
And next.
As long as his Father takes the Xuanqing Snow Lotus Pill and can successfully fuse the Thousand-Year Earth-Core Fire.
The entire Wanhua Sect will also be completely annihilated, becoming their Burning Flame Valley's hunting ground!
"Brother Duan, this time we will only help you hold back one of Wanhua Sect's Elders. Whether you can kill the other Elder depends on your Burning Flame Valley's methods."
Seeing the frenzy on Duan Haoming's face, Yang Xiao frowned and added at this moment.
This time.
Although he was helping Duan Haoming oppose Wanhua Sect, he didn't want to go too far.
If something unexpected happened.
And the Wanhua Sect group escaped, if Wanhua Sect wanted revenge, they would first target Burning Flame Valley with lethal force.
At that time.
With the two top forces at war, they might not care about him.
"Hehehe, as long as you can hold back one of them, with the strength of Elder Black Flame and Elder Fire Cloud, it's enough to kill the other Elder of Wanhua Sect!"
Duan Haoming smiled sinisterly upon hearing this, his gaze sweeping over the two Elders not far away.
One of them was the Fifth Elder of Burning Flame Valley, named Black Flame, possessing the powerful strength of the Heavenly Human Realm, Fifth Level.
The other was the Third Elder of Burning Flame Valley, named Fire Cloud, possessing the powerful strength of the Heavenly Human Seventh Realm.
Working together.
Even a powerhouse of the Heavenly Human Realm, Eighth Level would likely find it impossible to escape safely.
And besides the Sect Leader who had been in seclusion for a long time, only the Grand Elder of Wanhua Sect had reached the Heavenly Human Realm, Eighth Level.
But that Grand Elder needed to guard the sect and presumably would not come to Barren State to meet Nangong Jing and her group.
Therefore.
No matter which two other Elders Wanhua Sect sends, a single person would not be their opponent.
This time, the Wanhua Sect group is already within their grasp!
"Since Brother Duan has such confidence, The King will not say more."
Yang Xiao glanced at Black Flame and Fire Cloud, then replied with a fake smile.
But when he turned his head, his eyes showed some doubt.
Just to snatch a Xuanqing Snow Lotus Pill, Burning Flame Valley actually mobilized two Heavenly Human Realm Elders and intended to kill one of Wanhua Sect's Elders.
Being so frantic for a pill seems a bit against common sense.
Could it be...
This Xuanqing Snow Lotus Pill has an extraordinary effect on a certain high-level figure in Burning Flame Valley?!
Or could it be...
A certain high-level figure in Burning Flame Valley is severely injured and urgently needs the Xuanqing Snow Lotus Pill to save their life?!
As this thought crossed his mind, Yang Xiao continuously analyzed the possibilities.
After all, he and Duan Haoming were only using each other.
If he helped Burning Flame Valley rise for his own selfish gain, his Father King would not spare him.
............
On the Hundred Flowers Boat.
Xiao Chen stood on the deck, watching the changing weather around him, feeling a sense of astonishment.
This thing.
It was even more impressive than airplanes from his previous life, looking like a spaceship.
"Although the flying speed of this Heaven Rank xuan boat is astonishing, the spirit crystals consumed by flying are also astonishing."
"In total..."
"A Heaven Rank flying ark, unless it's for necessary sect transportation, is far less cost-effective than traveling by flying demonic beasts."
Seeing Xiao Chen standing on the deck, looking curiously at the flying ark, Cai Yan suddenly spoke at this moment.
Like their Snake-People Clan.
They basically traverse the void by themselves or by borrowing some kind of flying demonic beast.
They, the Snake-People Clan, disdained using treasures like flying xuan boats.
"Snake-People Clan... shouldn't have flying arks, right?"
Hearing Cai Yan's words, Xiao Chen seemed to see through something and couldn't help but tease.
And after hearing this sentence, Cai Yan's expression immediately became somewhat embarrassed.

Xiao Chen had really hit the mark.
In fact, the bigger reason why their Snake-People Clan disdained using flying xuan boats was that they didn't have them.
No, it wasn't that they didn't have them, but that they couldn't afford them.
After all, every time this thing is used, it consumes a large amount of spirit crystals, which is too uneconomical for the Snake-People Clan.
"If you want one, I'll get you a few to play with later."
Seeing that even the esteemed Medusa Queen had moments of embarrassment, Xiao Chen replied with a smile at this moment, making Cai Yan incredibly moved.
"No need..."
"There are plenty of these things. If The King wants them, I'll just go snatch a few."
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Cai Yan said sheepishly.
"......"
Xiao Chen was speechless upon hearing this. This woman was really fierce, always wanting to rob people at the drop of a hat.
"Gongzi, we have now entered the airspace above the Cangyun Mountains."
While Xiao Chen and Cai Yan were chatting.
Liu Hanfei and Li Qingying and their group also walked over. The former paused and said with a somewhat serious tone.
"All the way... I always feel like someone is following us from behind, but I can't pinpoint their aura."
"If there are any sudden situations next, Gongzi and Xinyue will return to Wanhua Sect first, and Qingying Shimei and I will stay behind to cover the retreat."
"The ones behind are just two little foxes; they don't have the guts to attack us."
After Liu Hanfei's words fell, Cai Yan suddenly spoke at this moment.
"However, from Tiandu City to here, there seems to be another pair of eyes secretly observing us."
"This feeling... seems to have become stronger after entering the airspace above this mountain range."
