Chapter 126: Special Elder Assembly

  Two days later, at dawn, in the northern part of the city, on Yu Shui Mountain, two swift shadows, like red lightning, rushed down from the mountain.

  "Whoosh"

  As fast as lightning!

  As they reached the foot of the mountain, the two shadows finally slowed down. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the two shadows were a man and a dog. The man wore white clothes, with a delicate long sword on his back, handsome in appearance, and although not sturdy in build, he was very upright. As for the dog, it was much worse off, its entire body lacking flesh, dry and shriveled, even more miserable than the stray dogs on the street, as if it hadn't eaten for several months.

  。

  ”

  This man and dog were naturally Xia Yan and the Phantom Wolf. Xia Yan stopped in his tracks, letting out a long breath from his chest, his eyes gleaming with intensity, his palms slowly extending forward, a surge of energy emanating from them, forming an air sphere that shot out into the distance. On Xia Yan's hair, there was still a hint of water droplets.

  Three days ago, Xia Yan heard a few words from the old Holy Emperor and had a direction again. Although his strength couldn't be greatly improved in a short period of time, he knew a direction.

  As long as you use medicine to accelerate the increase of Ling Spirit Holes, the speed at which internal energy is converted into spiritual power will also accelerate.

  Now, the key issue is to find dozens of required medicinal materials and then make preparations.

  It's hard to gather all these medicinal materials in a short period of time. On the second day, Xia Yan arrived at the auction house and found Mo Ke, the person in charge of the pharmacy. However, Mo Ke couldn't guarantee that he could find all the medicinal materials either. Moreover, even for some of the more precious ones that he was confident about finding, it would take a week to transport them from Zilei City to Yushui City.

  "Look at the mountain, the city and the sky, how beautiful!" Xia Yan took a deep breath after adjusting his breathing. He looked at the distant scenery again, then turned to look at the Tibetan Mastiff beside him with emotion.

  The yellow dog looked at Xia Yan with its greenish-yellow eyes, seemingly somewhat puzzled, and let out two woofs, wagging its tail back and forth.

  Suddenly, a wild rabbit appeared in the line of sight of both the man and the wolf.

  The dog let out a loud bark and its body shot out like an arrow, four legs flying as it chased after the wild rabbit. The rabbit seemed to be stunned, forgetting to run away for a moment, and by the time it reacted and wanted to escape, the dog's big mouth had already gently bitten down on its slender throat!

  "Crack"

  The yellow dog exerted a slight force, and the wild rabbit's weak neck was broken.

  Xia Yan furrowed his brow slightly, his white robes fluttering gently, and then smiled and said: "Just in time, we haven't had breakfast yet, let's roast the wild rabbit!"

  "Hey, put down the rabbit and go find some firewood!" Xia Yan ordered the earth dog.

  The dog's eyes lit up and put down the wild rabbit. It jumped up happily, its four hooves patted on the ground with a thud, and then rushed into the mountain forest.

  There is a clear small river nearby.

  Skin the hare and wash it clean, also bring back some dry branches from the tree.

  A wisp of blue smoke rose from the edge of a small stream. Before long, a mouthwatering aroma wafted out in all directions. A local dog crouched beside it, drooling and gazing intently with its eyes shining bright, its front paws ceaselessly scratching at the loose dirt on the ground, its ears standing upright, and its greenish eyes fixed motionless on the rabbit meat over the fire.

  "After this, I won't have time to grill meat for you to eat." Xia Yan shook his head, looking at him helplessly.

  。

  For the past three days, the local dog seems to have become addicted to eating.

  Wū

  A reluctant low cry of two voices.

  "Summer Brother"

  "Xiaoyan Ge,"

  Just as Xia Yan was dealing with a roasted rabbit leg, two shouts came from the direction of Yu Shui City's official road.

  "Huh? Is it a family member looking for me?" Xia Yan paused slightly, stood up, and casually threw the remaining rabbit leg to the mud dog.

  The dog's body leaped up and caught the rabbit's leg in one swift motion. Excitedly, it rolled around on the ground.

  Xia Yan's feet kicked out, his figure flashed, and he quickly left the forest. As expected, two men wearing Xia family attire were rushing towards him.

  "Quickly, Brother Xia Yan is over there." A sharp-eyed member of the Xia family spotted Xia Yan and excitedly said to another person.

  Two people rushed towards Xia Yan excitedly.

  "Brother Xia Yan!" As they approached each other, both of them bowed respectfully.

  Xia Yan nodded and asked, "You've come here, isn't it because the clan leader is looking for me?"

  Only when the clan leader looks for him will he let the family members search everywhere.

  "Yes, Xia Yan Ge, the clan leader and the elders want you to go back for a trip." A young man from the Xia family said excitedly, looking somewhat tense.

  He also spoke with Xia Yan for the first time.

  "Oh? The clan leader wants me to go back, is there something going on?" Fu Yan asked with a puzzled tone.

  "This" we are also unclear about, but today all the elders have returned to their families, seemingly to hold an elder's meeting." The young man from the tribe replied honestly.

  "Elder's meeting? Ah, I see. Thank you!" Xia Yan furrowed his brow, nodded, and then smiled at the two of them.

  The two of them exchanged a glance, looking at each other for a moment, but seemed to be holding back their words.

  "Is there anything else? Xia Yan's eyebrows moved slightly as she asked."

  "That... we want to ask you to teach us martial arts!" After hesitating, a young member of the Xia family finally gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.

  Xia Yan couldn't help but laugh and said: "There may not be time now, I have to go back and see the clan leader. Let's do it this way. Wait until this afternoon...

  The time spent in Yushui City was only this short half-month period, and using this period to improve the strength of the family's younger generation wasn't bad either. Moreover, one's own strength had also reached a bottleneck, with no significant progress in martial skills fusion. Internal energy transformation was just that slight thread. Even if more time was spent, there wouldn't be much effect.

  "Thanks Xiaoyan Ge!"

  The two of them heard this and were overjoyed, exclaiming in surprise.

  "No need to be like that, you are all my Xia family juniors. In the future, the Xia family will still rely on you." With that said, Xia Yan's feet slightly shook and his body instantly leaped out ten meters away.

  The two younger brothers of the Xia family only felt a flash of human shadow in front of them. Then, Xia Yan was gone. By the time they saw Xia Yan again, he had already sprinted over 100 meters away.

  At this time, another shadow emerged from the woods and chased after Xiaoyan.

  "That's Xiaoyan's mongrel!"

  A member of the Xia family exclaimed in shock.

  A yellow dog can also have such speed, these two people really don't understand at all.

  "We should head back too, Xiaoyan Ge agreed to teach us martial skills this afternoon, haha, now we can become strong too, it's great!" One of the disciples laughed loudly with an excited expression.

  Ever since the news of Xia Yan pointing out a collateral descendant last summer got out, many of the Xia family's descendants have been eager to get Xia Yan's guidance. However, many people are also afraid to directly seek out Xia Yan. After all, their identities are too far apart. It's like these two Xia family descendants, who only asked Xia Yan for guidance because the clan leader found Xia Yan and they took the opportunity to ask him to guide them.

  It's like an ordinary summer child, can't casually go to the clan leader to make demands! Status. In a big family, it is particularly prominent. This is also an unavoidable thing, if not, everyone would be the same, which is unrealistic.

  Ordinary children would never be able to have a serving maid, which is also a symbol of social status.

  "Tribe leader, what can I do at this time? Even if it's a council of elders, it has nothing to do with me!" On the way, Xia Yan's mind was still turning over this idea.

  Time for a cup of tea, Xia Yan entered the North Gate of Yushui City.

  Xia's family is located in the north district, so as soon as you enter the city, it's almost equivalent to arriving at Xia's mansion.

  "Master Xia Yan!"

  Outside the gate, the guard saw Xia Yan making a courtesy call!

  "Thanks for your hard work, two brothers!" Xia Yan nodded and smiled.

  Front yard, conference hall. The gate is open.

  Outside the door, four guards from the Xia family stood upright. These four people were all considered seniors of Xia Yan, and their strength was not weak. Probably, they were all cultivators who had opened up 70 or 80 meridians in the martial path.

  "Four uncles, it's the clan leader who told me to come"

  Before Xia Yan could finish speaking, the four men bowed and solemnly said to Xia Yan: "Young Master Xia Yan, please enter. The clan leader and the elders have been waiting for you for a long time."

  When he heard this, Xia Yan was stunned again.

  "Tudou, wait outside!" Xia Yan said, turning back to Tudou after regaining his composure.

  The yellow dog let out a low growl and then lay down on the spot, its eyes rolling around with its tongue hanging out as it sized up its surroundings.

  If there's anything that distinguishes this earth dog from ordinary earth dogs, it's just those two green eyes. When this earth dog stares at people with its eyes, it's indeed quite frightening. Most cultivators can be stared into a chill down their spines.

  ”

  The footsteps entered the conference hall, making a soft sound.

  "I have seen the clan leader, I have seen all the elders!"

  Xia Yan entered the conference hall and said respectfully.

  This was the second time Xia Yan had entered the Xia family conference hall. The first time he entered the conference hall, it was completely different from now. At that time, Xia Yan was still a forgotten waste, a waste who hadn't even opened up one martial vein. Back then, the clan leader and the various elders couldn't have imagined that Xia Yan would become the hope of the Xia family, right?

  Even the three elders who were closest to Xia Yan couldn't have imagined that he would end up like this.

  It's actually not surprising that the clan leader and these elders would neglect a useless young master, who would pay extra attention to him? This is the same throughout the entire continent.

  Re-entering the conference hall, Xia Yan's state of mind was different, and the state of mind of the patriarch Xia Feilong and the various elders were also completely different.

  "Heh heh, Xia Yan, you take a seat too!" Xia Fei Long smiled and pointed to a chair at the long table, saying to Xia Yan.

  Xia Yan was stunned and sat down.

  This council of elders is only qualified for the clan leader and elder to attend. Even the guardian elder does not have the qualifications to participate. And now, the clan leader actually lets him sit here?

  In this case

  A lot of thoughts suddenly emerged in Xia Yan's mind at this time.

  "Shayuan, today the Council of Elders has a very important matter to discuss, and we need you to be present. You, come over and take a seat." The Great Elder Shalei said with a wave of his hand.

  In the past, Elder Xia Lei looked down on Xia Yan with disdain. Moreover, Xia Yan's father had crippled Elder Xia Lei's son, Xia Guqiu's arm, so it was no wonder that he would be cold and distant towards Xia Yan. But now, things were completely different.

  Xia Lei, of course, also hopes that the Xia family will prosper, and he can't wait for County Ye to become even stronger and more powerful, so that he can achieve his dream of becoming a Ling Master as soon as possible. In this regard, his wishes are the same as those of others! If you want to know what happens next...
