I'm in Battle Through the Heavens, and I have a control panel.

Chapter 30 When Xiao Yan Arrives in Qingshan Town

On the way to Qingshan Town.

As Xiao Yan gazed at the distant horizon, a sense of anticipation suddenly arose in his heart.

Although Xiao Zheng has been missing since leaving the Xiao family, and his fate is unknown, he shouldn't die easily.

Perhaps they will be fortunate enough to meet during this arduous journey of spiritual practice.

Xiao Yan asked Yao Lao, "Teacher, do you think it's possible that I'll encounter Xiao Zheng during my arduous cultivation?"

The old doctor's voice echoed in his mind: "That's possible."

"That kid ran away decisively after speaking up for you back then. He's no ordinary person. People like that aren't going to get into trouble easily."

Xiao Yan's eyes shone even brighter, filled with anticipation for this arduous training.

……

The underground ruins of the Jiyin Sect.

At this time, Xiao Zheng had already been a nine-star Dou Shi for two months.

【Chosen Mission: None (?)】

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Two months ago, he stared at the 2 Creation Points on the panel for a long time, but in the end he still didn't upgrade the Thunder Pattern Technique to the advanced level.

Therefore, after becoming a nine-star Dou Shi, Xiao Zheng's main task every day was to recharge his Dou Puppets.

However, this thing charges incredibly slowly!

It has taken more than nine months to fill a single crystal, which is enough to allow the battle puppet to unleash its power at the Battle King level once.

At this rate, it'll be ages before all three crystals are filled.

Compared to him, Little Fairy Doctor has made remarkable progress in cultivation, and she has already reached the strength of a one-star Great Dou Master.

However, after Little Fairy Doctor entered that realm, the poisons of the underground world became completely ineffective.

Xiao Zheng felt there was no point in lingering in the underground world any longer, so he said to Little Fairy Doctor, "Shall we go find a way out?"

Little Fairy Doctor had no objections: "Yes, the poisonous creatures here can no longer meet my cultivation needs; it's time to leave."

The two immediately set to work, searching the underground world.

A few days later, they finally found a natural passageway extending upwards deep within the ruins.

A breeze blew in at the end of the passageway, carrying the fresh scent of grass and trees, clearly indicating that it led to the ground!

Meanwhile, in Qingshan Town.

When Xiao Yan and Yao Lao arrived at this place, they had just entered the town when they unexpectedly found a rare Blood Lotus Essence at the Wan Yao Zhai.

The next day, Xiao Yan arrived at the entrance to the Monster Mountain Range and saw that it was bustling with activity.

Many mercenary groups and independent cultivators gather here.

After inquiring, Xiao Yan learned that it was the Wan Yao Zhai herb-gathering team that was going into the mountains to collect herbs and was recruiting mercenaries to protect them.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yan decided to sign up.

When he announced the name "Xiao Yan," the scene instantly fell silent.

Immediately afterward, a burly young man beside him roared at Xiao Yan, "Xiao Yan?!"

"I've been waiting for you for over a year, and you've finally shown up!"

This young man was none other than Mu Li, the young leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

He looked Xiao Yan up and down and felt that Xiao Yan was similar to the one in his memory, so he must be no different from that guy!

Muli continued to roar, "You've chosen the path to hell when there's a way to heaven! I dare not go to Wutan City, but now that I've come to Qingshan Town, you must die today!"

Xiao Yan was immediately filled with question marks, looking completely bewildered. He asked, "Brother, do we know each other? Is there some misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstand?"

Mu Li sneered, pointing at Xiao Yan and saying, "Even if you turned to ashes, I'd still recognize you!"

"Listen up, everyone here! Whoever captures Xiao Yan alive will receive a reward of 15! Whoever kills Xiao Yan will receive a reward of 10!"

Upon hearing this, the people around him immediately lit up and rushed towards Xiao Yan with shouts.

Xiao Yan was completely dumbfounded.

No!

What's going on?

This is his first time in Qingshan Town, and he hasn't done anything yet, so why has he become the target of everyone's criticism?!

Because there were too many people on the other side, and many of them were at a higher cultivation level than Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan had no choice but to shout, "Teacher, help me!"

With the help of Yao Lao, Xiao Yan fought his way out and escaped into the Monster Mountain Range.

However, Muli and his mercenaries, driven by greed, relentlessly pursued them.

As Xiao Yan ran, he asked, "Teacher, what exactly happened?"

"I've never even been to Qingshan Town, how could I have offended so many people?"

The old doctor pondered and said, "It's highly likely that someone has impersonated you and committed many evil deeds in Qingshan Town, otherwise these people wouldn't hate you so much."

"Depend on!"

Xiao Yan gritted his teeth in fury, "If I find out who did this, I'll tear them to pieces!"

……

The outskirts of the Monster Mountain Range.

Xiao Zheng and Little Fairy Doctor slowly appeared in a rather hidden cave.

Seeing the sunlight again after several months made them both feel a little uncomfortable for a while.

"They're finally out!"

Little Fairy Doctor stretched and yawned, enjoying the fresh air with a look of contentment on her face.

Xiao Zheng looked around, raising an eyebrow slightly: "This is... the outer edge of the Monster Mountain Range? Looks like we can finally leave this hellhole."

They got lost because they went deeper and deeper into the area where there were no paths.

But the outer area is different; there are still some roads in the outer area.

Little Fairy Doctor nodded in agreement: "Yes."

Just then, a noisy fighting sounded from the woods not far away.

The two exchanged a glance, quietly approached, and hid behind a tree to observe.

A young man dressed in black was being chased and intercepted by a group of people.

"That is..."

Xiao Zheng's pupils contracted slightly when he saw the boy's face clearly.

Little Fairy Doctor looked at Xiao Zheng: "Brother Xiao Zheng, do you know that guy?"

Xiao Zheng coughed lightly: "Ahem, that kid is Xiao Yan."

"what!"

Little Fairy Doctor was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.

So that guy was Xiao Yan.

She noticed that Mu Li was among the people beating Xiao Yan, and immediately guessed that the reason Xiao Yan was being beaten was probably because of her brother Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng also noticed that Mu Li was among the people who were ganging up on Xiao Yan, and said helplessly, "No matter what, Xiao Yan is also my kinsman."

"If he's in danger, I should always lend a hand."

Little Fairy Doctor looked at him suspiciously: "Brother Xiao Zheng, are you sure you're helping Xiao Yan not because you feel guilty towards him?"

"cough!"

Xiao Zheng coughed lightly, not taking the subject: "You wait here, I..."

Little Fairy Doctor interrupted Xiao Zheng, eager to try, and said, "Leave this kind of small matter to me."

Xiao Zheng raised an eyebrow: "Are you sure? Fighting isn't just about having a high level of skill; you also need fighting techniques."

Little Fairy Doctor beamed with pride: "Hehe, on the last page of the Yin Fire Poison Scripture, there's a rankless fighting technique called 'Ten Thousand Poison Palm'."

"The power of this fighting technique increases with the amount of poison I consume; it currently has the power of a low-level Xuan rank."

Xiao Zheng suddenly realized and stopped trying to stop Little Fairy Doctor: "Since you want to try, then give it a try."

"But remember, even though you are a Grand Battle Master, you still need to be cautious to avoid being caught off guard and losing your life."

Little Fairy Doctor smiled mischievously: "I know."
