Chapter 425: City Unrest [Three More Updates]
Hearing Gao Feng's words, Jing Yan's lips curled slightly upward.
"I'm in the early stages of the Dao Spirit Realm!" Jing Yan said casually.
When he said this, everyone present, without exception, gasped.
Dao Spirit Realm!
In the entire Haofeng City, there were only a handful of Martial Artists in the Dao Spirit Realm. Even a family like the Zhang Family didn't have a powerful Dao Spirit Realm expert.
And Jing Yan was indeed a Martial Artist of the Dao Spirit Realm.
No one doubted Jing Yan's words, for they had all witnessed how Song Li and others, who were of the Late Innate Realm and the Peak of Innate Realm, were effortlessly killed by a single sword strike from Jing Yan.
As everyone was shocked, they also began to revere Jing Yan.
The person before them was a powerful Dao Spirit Realm expert! Had any of them from the Flame Adventure Team ever dealt with such a powerful figure?
Li Yong, after snapping out of his daze, looked at Gao Feng. He also thought, Gao Feng and Gao Zhan were incredibly lucky to know such a fearsome Martial Artist like Jing Yan.
As for what Gao Feng had previously mentioned, about Jing Yan being a Postnatal Realm Martial Artist two years ago, Li Yong believed that Gao Feng must have been mistaken then. It was impossible for Jing Yan to have been only in the Postnatal Realm two years ago. Otherwise, to break through from the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven to the Dao Spirit Realm in just two years? That was laughable!
"Gao Zhan, it's been a long time," Jing Yan said with a smile to Gao Zhan.
"Yes... yes!" Gao Zhan nodded woodenly.
The events from two years ago seemed like they had happened just yesterday, flashing through Gao Zhan's mind.
Unbelievable!
When they first met, Jing Yan had not yet advanced to Innate. Today, Jing Yan had reached the unreachable heights of the Dao Spirit.
"Back in Moonlight Forest, I owe a lot to your adventure group's help," Jing Yan reminisced about those times.
Speaking of it, Jing Yan really needed to thank the siblings, Gao Zhan and Gao Feng.
If not for them, he wouldn't have found Sinful Canyon so quickly. If the timing hadn't been perfect, he could not have met the Bai Xue City Lord. Although there was no direct connection with the siblings, the turn of events had been influenced by them.
Gao Zhan opened his mouth to say that they hadn't been of much help at that time, but Jing Yan waved his hand, cutting him off.
"Let's not dwell on other things," Jing Yan said, his gaze slightly narrowing, "I have two bottles of medicine here that should help you and your sister during your advancement to Innate."
Jing Yan took out two bottles of Marrow Cleansing Potion and handed them to Gao Zhan and Gao Feng. He didn't go into detail about the properties of the medicine due to the crowded surroundings and potentially malicious intentions of others. Moreover, there was no need for detailed explanations; once the siblings used the potions, they would understand the power of the Holy Spirit Potion.
Gao Zhan and Gao Feng quickly took the potions handed over by Jing Yan.
"I might stay in Haofeng City for a few more days. Let's catch up slowly. For now, I need to make a trip to the Song Family to deal with this matter once and for all," Jing Yan turned and said.
Although the four elders from the Song Family sent to annihilate the Flame had died, the threat of the Song Family still existed. Going there was necessary.
With that, Jing Yan's body flashed, and with a burst of energy from his feet, he soared into the air.
A Dao Spirit Realm Martial Artist could fly for a short duration. Flying consumed a lot of Primordial Energy, but with Jing Yan's abundant Primordial Energy, he didn't need to worry.
In the blink of an eye, Jing Yan had disappeared into the distant sky.
Watching Jing Yan fly away, Li Yong and the others again expressed their amazement.
"Not good!" Li Yong suddenly changed in expression, "The Song Family Patriarch is a Dao Spirit Realm expert. Although he's only in the Early Dao Spirit Realm, it's very possible that there is a second Dao Spirit Realm expert within the Song Family."
What Li Yong meant was that Jing Yan's trip to the Song Family could be dangerous.
Gao Zhan and the others also looked worried. Although Jing Yan was a Dao Spirit Realm Martial Artist, the Song Family also had its own Dao Spirit Realm experts. Not to mention whether there was a second Dao Spirit realm expert, just the fact that there were many Innate Strong People in the Song Family, if they united, could Jing Yan handle them?
"What should we do?"
"Mr. Jing Yan is doing this for our adventure group. We should do something!"
"But what can we do? All of us going there probably won't be of much help!"
Everyone spoke anxiously yet felt helpless.
"Team Leader! Maybe Jing Yan has already planned ahead? Since he went to the Song Family, he must have some confidence. At least, he should be able to protect himself," Gao Feng looked at Li Yong and said.
For some reason, she had grown increasingly confident in Jing Yan.
Hearing Gao Feng's words, everyone also pondered. Gao Feng made sense. Since Jing Yan joined the adventure group, he had always appeared very calm and restrained.
From his actions before killing the four Song Family elders, not mentioning that he was a Dao Spirit Realm expert showed this. If not for Gao Feng's inquiry, perhaps Jing Yan would have remained silent. If this were some arrogant Martial Artist, being a Dao Spirit Realm expert, wouldn't they be afraid that others wouldn't know?
Outside of the Flame Adventure Team's encampment.
"Look, what is that!"
"Heavens… A flying expert!"
"Dao Spirit Realm! It's a Dao Spirit Realm Martial Artist! Who is that? How did they fly out of the Flame?"
Numerous Martial Artists stared at the vanishing figure in the sky, exclaiming in absolute shock.
"How are the Song Family's Song Li and other elders? Haven't they come out yet? Just now, there seemed to be sounds of a skirmish!" A Martial Artist turned his head, looked at the courtyard of the Flame Adventure Team, and said in confusion.
Previously, the sounds of the skirmish had led them to believe that the Song Family's elders had started fighting with the Flame. However, the noise quickly disappeared, lasting no more than a moment or two. While they were still puzzled, they saw a Dao Spirit Realm expert flying out from the courtyard.
Everything seemed unbelievable.
Why would a Dao Spirit Realm Martial Artist fly out from the Flame Adventure Team's encampment?
Why hadn't the four elders of the Song Family emerged from the courtyard yet?
Confused, no one knew what exactly had happened within the distant courtyard.
"Humph! Stop guessing, I'll go check it out!" said a braver adventurer loudly. Though his words were bold and fearless, his actions were cautious as he approached the courtyard of the Flame.
Previously, they were all worried that if the Song Family's elders and Flame started fighting, they might end up as collateral damage, so everyone stayed at a distance and did not dare to approach. If they got too close, if the Song Family's elders wiped out the Flame and then casually killed them, who could they complain to?
Seeing that adventurer approaching, everyone else held their breath and stopped talking, instead staring intently. The adventurer soon reached the door of the Flame's courtyard, craning his neck to see what was happening inside.
