Battle Through the Heavens: Clan Leader, I'm sorry, now I just want to be a good person.

Hearing Xiao Yan's question, Xun'er giggled, turned her head, and pouted, saying, "That won't do. You'll know all this when you become a Dou Wang, Brother Xiao Yan."

"Alright then." Xiao Yan nodded upon hearing this, then looked directly at Xun'er's captivating smile and said thoughtfully, "But girl, you've been acting a little strange these past two days?"

Xun'er was taken aback by his words, her eyes flickered almost imperceptibly, and she avoided Xiao Yan's gaze before saying softly, "No, Xun'er is no different from before!"

"Is it?"

Xiao Yan smiled faintly, about to say something more, when Yao Lao's solemn voice suddenly rang in his mind.

“A large number of auras are flying towards you, and these auras are extremely terrifying. They are probably coming for you.”

Upon hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan's expression changed drastically.

Even the old master said that the aura was extremely terrifying, so it must be a very powerful opponent.

Although he hadn't figured out why so many unfamiliar and terrifying auras had appeared in the inner courtyard, Xiao Yan trusted Yao Lao's judgment.

He immediately stood up, grabbed Xun'er, and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Xun'er seemed to realize something as well. Her pretty face changed instantly, and she hurriedly pushed Xiao Yan into the woods, saying anxiously, "Brother Xiao Yan, hide inside and don't come out!"

"What's wrong? Are these people here for you?"

Xiao Yan sensed Xun'er's movement and reacted instantly. His expression darkened, and he grabbed the large Xuan Heavy Ruler, saying, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect you."

Xun'er felt Xiao Yan's movement and a warm feeling flashed through her heart. She then pressed Xiao Yan's hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Brother Xiao Yan, they won't do anything to me."

Then a gentle breeze appeared in his hand, pushing Xiao Yan into the woods, and he instructed, "Brother Xiao Yan, suppress your aura, and don't let them discover you!"

Pushed into the forest by Xun'er, Xiao Yan's expression shifted. After a moment of contemplation, he chose to trust Xun'er, but he would leave if anything seemed amiss.

"Who exactly is he?"

Xiao Yan gazed at the distant sky, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

"Don't worry, since she said that, she probably already knows who the visitor is."

The old man's calm voice echoed in Xiao Yan's mind, followed by a silent sigh.

If it really is someone from that clan, then my disciple...

After Xiao Yan was pushed into the forest by Xun'er, a large number of tiny black dots suddenly appeared on the northern horizon a moment later, and then continued to expand in the field of vision.

Their target was very clear: Xun'er, who was standing on the hilltop.

As the sound of something breaking through the air drew closer, Xiao Yan could finally see the black dot in the sky.

However, as he saw the scene before him, Xiao Yan's eyes revealed a look of horror.

The small black dots in the sky were not human figures, but enormous, gigantic magical beasts.

These magical beasts were entirely black, with a single silver horn over a foot long. Complex and strange runes were scattered across the horn, from which the power of wind and thunder could be faintly seen. Behind the magical beasts grew four extremely wide wings, and when the wings flapped, a gale arose in the sky.

Although Xiao Yan didn't recognize these magical beasts, he could sense the terrifying energy they contained. These magical beasts were all combat flying magical beasts.

Taming flying magical beasts is difficult enough, let alone flying magical beasts with combat capabilities. The fact that someone can raise combat flying magical beasts indicates that the power behind them is extremely large.

Xiao Yan shifted his gaze from the magical beasts, and on the back of each flying magical beast stood a human figure.

These figures were all dressed in purple-black robes, expressionless, with sharp eyes, and exuding a chilling aura. What shocked Xiao Yan the most was that he had only ever sensed the same aura from the inner courtyard elders.
