345 Just With You Guys?
“Boom!”
A loud sound came from the suburbs, and the entire city trembled. Countless people were so shocked that they ran out of their homes, thinking that an earthquake was about to happen.
“What’s going on? Is it an earthquake?”
“Thunder had been booming just now. I thought it was going to rain. The weather is really strange.”
“The commotion seems to be coming from the suburbs. Could something big have happened?”
Since there were signs of abnormality, there must be something wrong. The sounds of a dry thunderstorm had long attracted everyone’s attention, and the city was in a heated discussion.
“You guys, look at the sky!”
The wind and clouds surged in the sky, and a divine bridge faintly flashed in it. Vaguely, the gate of the heavens opened wide, and even the light of the glorious sun became dim. The closer they got to the suburbs, the more obvious the phenomenon was. It could be seen that something extraordinary was indeed happening there.
The unprecedented scene surprised everyone, and they stretched their necks to look.
“Could it be that a secret treasure has appeared in the suburbs?”
Hearing this, many people began to head towards the outskirts. However, before they even got close, a powerful aura came over, intimidating everyone’s actions of moving forward.
Some of the cultivators with low cultivation immediately turned pale and their breathing became rapid. They didn’t dare to move forward anymore. Even if there was some kind of secret treasure, they had to first be alive to use it.
However, there was no lack of courageous people. After taking a few more steps, they saw that the people from the major clans were all around, and were instantly stunned. Experts from the Xiao clan, the Zhao clan, the Fu clan, and all the other clans were here.
They had rushed here as soon as they sensed the strange aura, but they couldn’t take half a step forward either.
An inexplicable surging aura spread from the suburbs, and everything within a hundred miles was within its range. It isolated everyone’s vision, and even divine sense couldn’t enter.
“What is going on?”
The people of the four great clans were all gathered here. They almost thought that someone was attacking Jade City.
“Such a huge commotion isn’t as simple as the birth of an artifact. I’m afraid it’s a battle between experts.”
The rest of the people were in disbelief, “What kind of expert can cause such a huge commotion?”
Fortunately, the fight was in the suburbs. If it was in Jade City, half of the city would have been destroyed.
“Perhaps only our ancestors can reach this realm.”
However, the ancestors of the major clans were either in closed-door cultivation or traveling outside. They did not meddle in worldly affairs at all. After all, if they were to make a move, it would involve plenty of implications.
The crowd couldn’t see the scene inside clearly, but the aura that came from it made them extremely shocked. They began to make guesses.
“Could it be an expert passing by, or a large sect from Jingdu?”
“When the city gate is on fire, the fish in the moat will be affected. Let’s not join in the fun.”
“That’s true, but all this is happening near Jade City. If something really happens, we can’t afford to take responsibility either.”
An elder wanted to use his divine sense to probe inside and see what was happening, but in the next minute, he let out a miserable cry and rolled on the ground in pain as if he had been seriously injured. Seeing this, the others didn’t dare to act rashly.
“The power inside is too overbearing. If we rashly charge in, I’m afraid our end will be even more miserable.”
Someone looked at the elder’s injuries. Fortunately, he withdrew his divine sense in time. Otherwise, there was a possibility that his entire sea of consciousness would be shattered. If that happened, half of his cultivation would be crippled.
The other clans were fine, but those from the Xiao clan had strange expressions.
The elders all knew that Xiao Yi had come out of seclusion to bring Xiao Mingyan back. He had gone in the direction of the suburbs.
However, no matter how powerful Xiao Mingyan was, could he be on par with Xiao Yi and even cause such a big commotion? They couldn’t understand, but they didn’t dare to say it out loud.
As a crack was torn open probably because the space could not withstand the powerful force, an aura leaked out
The Zhao clan and the Fu clan could not help but look confused.
“One of the powers within feels quite familiar.”
The Xiao clan’s people’s faces changed. The others were not sure, but how could they be wrong about the aura of their ancestor? It was Xiao Yi’s!
The more anxious they were, the more they couldn’t show it. Other than standing there anxiously, there was nothing else they could do. The Xiao clan wanted to go inside and see the situation, but a good example of doing so had just been shown to them.
After an unknown time, the aura slowly dispersed and three figures appeared.
“Oh my, such a big party. Everyone is here to send us off, huh? You don’t have to be so polite.”
The carefree voice stunned everyone. They looked at each other, and after seeing the person who walked out, they all showed incredulous expressions.
The three were Ye Xuan, Xiao Mingyan, and A’Tian.
The momentum just now had been so huge that it could be called heaven-shaking and earth-shattering. Could it have been created by the three of them?
For a moment, the atmosphere was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard. Could this have been a mistake?
Xiao Mingyan looked around, and his gaze finally fell on the Xiao clan.
For some reason, when they met Xiao Mingyan’s gaze, the members of the Xiao clan felt diffident. One of the elders couldn’t help but ask, “Xiao Mingyan, where’s the ancestor?”
“That’s your Xiao clan’s ancestor, not mine. Why are you asking me?”
“But the ancestor went to find you and even said that he would bring you back…”
That person knew that he had misspoken and hurriedly shut his mouth. However, when the others saw Xiao Mingyan and associated it with the attitude of the Xiao clan’s members just now, an impossible guess appeared in their hearts.
It couldn’t be that Xiao Mingyan and the Xiao clan’s ancestor had been fighting inside, right?
Seeing that Xiao Mingyan was about to leave, everyone from the Xiao clan stepped forward to stop him, “If you don’t make things clear, don’t even think about leaving today!”
Ye Xuan took a step forward. Just by glancing at the person, he released boundless pressure.
“Even Xiao Yi couldn’t take him away, how could you?”
