The white-robed man that appeared before Kai Sha was quite young, looking to be around twenty-six or twenty-seven. His white robe was as pure as snow, fluttering in the air, giving him an air of elegance and grace. The robed man had a handsome face, with a hint of gentleness in his rugged charm. His slightly thin lips were pressed together, and a faint smile graced his features. Though the smile gave off a kind impression, the touch of gentleness in his demeanor made Xiao Yan feel a bit uncomfortable.
As soon as this white-robed man appeared, he quickly became the center of attention in the hall. The people present, upon seeing him, showed a hint of surprise in their eyes, seemingly perplexed as to why he would suddenly show up.
“Is it actually Young Sect Master Mo Ya of the Black Royal Sect?”
“Didn’t expect even he would be alarmed. It’s said that Mo Ya is not even thirty yet and has already reached the level of a six-star Battle Emperor. Even some of the elders within the sect can’t match him.”
“Truly terrifying cultivation talent. It’s said that the entire Black Royal Sect holds great expectations for him; it’s likely that he will reach the Battle Sect stage.”
Hearing the whispers around him, Xiao Yan was also moved. He narrowed his eyes and glanced at the white-robed man, feeling a bit surprised. Apart from the person he met at the Gan Nan Academy, who came to take Xun Er away, this was probably the youngest Battle Emperor he had ever seen.
Of course, Lin Xiu Ya, Lin Yan, and Liu Qing also had excellent cultivation talents. Although they had not yet reached the Battle Emperor stage, they were younger than this white-robed man. No one could predict whether they would advance to the Battle Emperor stage in a few years, so in terms of potential, they were not much weaker than this man.
However, regardless of the comparison, reaching the Battle Emperor stage at such an age definitely made him a rare genius. Just by this, the white-robed man had ample grounds to look down on most people!
While Xiao Yan was marveling at the white-robed man’s strength, the latter was also stirred. From the previous brief clash, he could tell that the black-robed youth in front of him, who looked even younger, was indeed a genuine Battle Emperor. This made him a bit uncomfortable. Since childhood, he had grown up surrounded by the praises of a genius, and the sect had groomed him as the successor to the sect leader. Over the years, countless treasures had been poured into him, all to give him the chance to reach the Battle Sect stage. And he had not disappointed, successfully advancing to the Battle Emperor stage before turning thirty.
Reaching Battle Emperor before thirty was something Mo Ya took the greatest pride in, as the elders within the sect were usually forty or fifty when they achieved the same level. Their future potential was far less than his.
However, his sense of pride was now slightly tarnished. The black-robed youth in front of him was clearly younger, but based on their earlier exchange, his displayed strength seemed no less impressive. This comparison was somewhat demoralizing.
Of course, these feelings were quickly suppressed by Mo Ya. Reaching the Battle Emperor stage at such a young age demonstrated his excellence, and external factors would find it very hard to cast any shadow or hinder him.
“Haha, you’re too kind. The little girl you encountered earlier was no ordinary person. If I hadn’t used a bit more effort, I might have ended up like that fellow,” Mo Ya waved his white sleeves and bowed to Xiao Yan, smiling.
Looking at Mo Ya’s gentle smile, Xiao Yan frowned. He held back Zi Yan, who was fuming, nearly embarrassed, and said, “So what did you mean by intervening? Are you in cahoots with that guy?”
“My friend, you misunderstood. I am Mo Ya of the Black Royal Sect, the manager here. Normally, I wouldn’t interfere, but this is where our sect hosts honored guests. Bloodshed here would be a bit untidy, so I intervened.”
“Why didn’t you intervene when he was causing trouble earlier?” Xiao Yan retorted with a mocking smile.
Seeing Xiao Yan’s persistent questioning, Mo Ya’s eyes grew cold, though his smile remained gentle, “My friend, it’s just a small conflict, something common in the Black Corner Region. Please do me a favor and let this matter rest, will you?”
Glancing at Kai Sha, who was slowly getting up and glaring at him with a venomous look, Xiao Yan’s murderous intent did not waver. Although this man wasn’t very strong, he was undoubtedly dangerous. Now that enmity had been sown, letting him go would be a significant threat. But if he tried to kill him now, Mo Ya would certainly intervene. One Mo Ya might not be too formidable, but Xiao Yan knew that there were many other Black Royal Sect experts watching, and they would not stand idly by if he attacked Mo Ya.
While Xiao Yan was deep in thought, a fragrant breeze drifted from behind. Everyone turned to see Little Healer Immortal, dressed in a white dress, walking gracefully towards them.
Mo Ya gazed at Little Healer Immortal, struck by her ethereal and transcendent aura. His eyes sparkled. Such a woman truly belonged to the top tier, far beyond ordinary women.
“Forget it, we should not argue here,” Little Healer Immortal said softly as she approached Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan, surprised by her words, turned to look at her with a puzzled gaze. She winked at him almost imperceptibly.
“Fine, you got lucky. Next time, make sure to gather more information before bringing someone to cause trouble,” Xiao Yan, seeming to understand, nodded and sneered at Kai Sha.
Upon hearing this, Kai Sha’s eyes twitched, and he gritted his teeth, the venom in his gaze growing stronger.
“Thank you, miss, for resolving this matter,” Mo Ya smiled and bowed to Little Healer Imminant.
Ignoring his polite gesture, Little Healer Imminan only gave him a fleeting glance before averting her gaze, lowering her eyelids.
Being thus ignored, Mo Ya was momentarily stunned and felt a bit awkward. For the first time, a woman had given him such treatment. However, the more he was shunned, the more his heart throbbed.
“What is your name, friend? If you need anything in the future, come and find me. I have some influence in Black Emperor City,” Mo Ya, undeterred by Little Healer Imminal’s coldness, smiled politely at Xiao Yan.
“Yan Xiao,” Xiao Yan simply replied, bowing to Mo Ya, “Young Sect Master, since the matter is resolved, I must take my leave. I have urgent matters to attend to.”
Without waiting for a response, Xiao Yan walked towards the lodging area of the Black Emperor Mansion, followed by Little Healer Immnan and Zi Yan.
As he watched the graceful figure pass by, Mo Ya took a whiff of the lingering fragrance and a peculiar smile spread across his face. Such a woman would be a perfect match for him.
“Young Master, are we just going to let them go?” Kai Sha, wiping the blood from his mouth, asked Mo Ya angrily.
“What do you want? Both that little girl and Yan Xiao are Battle Emperor-level experts. Even our Black Royal Sect does not wish to offend them lightly. I only sent you to probe their strength. I didn’t expect you to attack directly, you fool,” Mo Ya’s smile faded, and he spoke coldly.
“So what do you plan to do? That boy just left, clearly disregarding you,” Kai Sha, clenching his teeth, hissed.
“First, we’ll probe their background. As long as they remain in Black Emperor City, everything is under my control.” Mo Ya smiled faintly, grasped the air gently, and inhaled deeply, murmuring to himself, “Such a beauty, I can’t give up on her so easily.”
As Xiao Yan and the others exited the bustling hall, Xiao Yan slowed his pace and turned to look at Zi Yan, who was still fuming. He shook his head and chuckled, “Still upset?”
“Hmph, why didn’t you kill that vile-lookinig guy?” Zi Yan glared at Little Healer Immnan, “If it were Sister Cai Lin, she would have killed him right away.”
Little Healer Immnan also stopped and looked at Xiao Yan, seeing his helpless expression, and said softly, “Don’t worry, that guy won’t live more than three days. And his death will be even more miserable than a direct execution.”
“You poisoned him?” Xiao Yan was surprised, as he felt nothing.
A faint smile appeared on Little Healer Immnan’s face, and she nodded, “Alchemists, I may not be as good as you, but when it comes to poisoning, you are far behind me.”
Xiao Yan shrugged, not doubting that. He was an alchemist, and Little Healer Immnan specialized in poisons. They had different paths, and both had made considerable achievements in their respective fields.
“But that Mo Ya seems to have a strange interest in you. Be careful, don’t fall for his charm,” Xiao Yan, recalling Mo Ya’s gaze, smiled.
Little Healer Immnan glanced at Xiao Yan and walked forward, her voice calm and steady, “If he dares to think that way, I’ll make him a complete cripple.”
