Chapter 34: Get out of Wutan City

"So, you're saying this old gentleman is your senior martial brother's disciple?"

In the Xiao family's main hall, Xiao Zhan and several elders looked at each other with astonishment.

When this third-grade alchemist first arrived at the Xiao family, his old face was filled with arrogance. But after a trip with Xiao Yan, he became incredibly respectful.

"Yes, I also have a senior martial brother whom I have never met, who is now established in the Black-Corner Region. And little Long is my senior martial brother's disciple. After seeing my teacher, he quickly recognized the aura of my lineage, so he acknowledged his martial grand-teacher on the spot, and I naturally became his little martial uncle."

Xiao Yan stood next to Liu Panlong and shrugged innocently.

Hearing Xiao Yan call him "little Long" so casually, Xiao Zhan and the elders looked at each other again. First, they were a bit bewildered, but then surprise appeared on their faces.

According to Xiao Yan, this third-grade alchemist, Liu Panlong, would be staying at the Xiao family for a long time from now on. And according to Xiao Yan's teacher's request, this Liu Panlong would have to frequently refine medicine for the Xiao family in the future.

For a small family like the Xiao family, to suddenly have a third-grade alchemist working for them truly felt like a heavenly windfall.

"Good, good, good! From today onwards, my Xiao family will set aside a mansion for Mr. Panlong to live in and refine medicine. If you need anything in the future, just give the word."

After accepting this fact, Xiao Zhan decisively and magnanimously selected a very luxurious courtyard from the Xiao family and gifted it to Liu Panlong.

Xiao Yan had no objection to this; he had always been very generous to his subordinates.

As long as this Liu Panlong could make sufficient contributions to the Xiao family, even if he were a real dog, Xiao Yan would still give him adequate treatment.

"Young Clan Leader, I wonder what grade of alchemist your senior martial brother, that is, Mr. Panlong's teacher, is."

The Great Elder at the side suddenly spoke up, a look of curiosity on his face.

He was now extremely respectful towards Xiao Yan, even adding the title "Young Clan Leader."

Hearing the Great Elder's question, Xiao Zhan and the other elders also looked at Xiao Yan and Liu Panlong with great curiosity.

"Uh, probably sixth-grade. My senior martial brother is a rather low-key person. It's best if the elders just listen to this and don't spread it."

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Yan answered casually, and his eyes happened to glance at Liu Panlong beside him.

"Right, little Long?"

"Yes, Ma... Little Martial Uncle!"

Even Liu Panlong was slightly stunned, then he quickly nodded like a chick pecking at rice and said, "My teacher prefers quiet, so I won't reveal my esteemed master's name."

"A sixth-grade alchemist!"

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, even though Xiao Zhan and the others had witnessed Xiao Yan's strangeness many times, they still couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

A sixth-grade alchemist, in this Jia Ma Empire, was considered the highest level of alchemist, right?

Especially the several elders, their sense of Xiao Yan's background became even more profound and unfathomable. A senior martial brother alone possessed the strength of a sixth-grade alchemist, so how terrifying must his teacher be?

Xiao Yan wasn't entirely lying. He did have a senior martial brother, and he was indeed in the Black-Corner Region, and he was indeed a sixth-grade alchemist.

However, this senior martial brother had no connection whatsoever with Liu Panlong, and his relationship with Xiao Yan himself wasn't very good either.

With Liu Panlong's arrival, the various members of the Xiao family began to place even more importance on Xiao Yan.

Especially when many people saw Liu Panlong, wearing the robe of a third-grade alchemist, being extremely respectful to Xiao Yan, their gazes towards Xiao Yan became filled with even more reverence.

After moving into the Xiao family, without being told by Xiao Yan, Liu Panlong, with Xiao Yan's nod, had already requested several Xiao family clansmen to head out in several directions on fast horses.

The purpose was to invite some fighters over to deal with the Jia Lie family.

It might be quite strenuous for a third-grade alchemist to invite a Dou Ling expert, but to call a few Da Dou Shi experts to help out was incredibly easy. Three days later, while the Jia Lie family was still in a daze, not having reacted yet, Liu Panlong had already led a full eight Da Dou Shi masters and charged directly towards the Jia Lie family.

Seeing the arrival of a full eight Da Dou Shi level experts, the originally quite calm Jia Lie family instantly became extremely nervous.

After all, the entire Jia Lie family, at full count, only had five Da Dou Shi experts. The eight Da Dou Shi brought by Liu Panlong might not be able to directly annihilate the Jia Lie family, but if they really started fighting, heavy losses would be absolutely unavoidable.

"Hehe, Jia Lie Bi, you bastard actually dared to plot against me. Today, I will follow my little martial uncle's order and drive your Jia Lie family out of Wutan City."

In the main hall of the Jia Lie family, Liu Panlong had once again resumed his arrogant expression, even more cocky than before.

He wanted to vent all the fear and shame he had suffered at Xiao Yan's hands onto the Jia Lie family.

"Little martial uncle? Who is your little martial uncle? Why does he want to deal with our Jia Lie family?"

Facing the suddenly turned Liu Panlong, Jia Lie Bi and a group of family higher-ups were filled with unwillingness in addition to their fear.

This inexplicable little martial uncle, who on earth was he, and why did he want to deal with the Jia Lie family?

"My little martial uncle is naturally Young Master Xiao Yan of the Xiao family."

Looking at Jia Lie Bi's terrified expression, Liu Panlong's face showed a mocking sneer.

"If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't have thought that Young Master Xiao Yan of the Xiao family is actually my little martial uncle."

"You bastard, you actually wanted to use this old man to deal with my little martial uncle. Not annihilating your Jia Lie family is already my little martial uncle's mercy."

He wasn't wrong. If Jia Lie Bi hadn't deliberately misled him and failed to disclose all the information, how could he have suffered such humiliation and been reduced to Xiao Yan's medicine slave?

However, it was also because this Jia Lie Bi didn't tell him the truth that he was able to receive Yao Lao's guidance, allowing him to see the hope of advancing to the fourth, fifth, and even sixth grade.

"Your little martial uncle... is Xiao Yan!"

After hearing this sentence, Jia Lie Bi's face instantly turned ashen. Even the several Jia Lie family higher-ups behind him had pale faces at this moment.

They thought they had found a prominent figure to deal with Xiao Yan, but they never expected that this so-called prominent figure, after a trip to the Xiao family, would become a blade in that Xiao Yan's hands.

"That's right."

Looking at Jia Lie Bi's appearance, Liu Panlong's face still held a faint, cold smile: "Daring to plot against my little martial uncle, with your Jia Lie family's meager strength, even a hundred of you wouldn't be enough to be wiped out. It is only because my little martial uncle is merciful and unwilling to cause too much slaughter."

After speaking, he announced like a judge in a loud voice: "I'll give your family three days. After three days, I don't want to see anyone from the Jia Lie family in Wutan City again. Otherwise, the next time I come to the Jia Lie family, it won't be these few friends of mine who come. If you anger me, I can even invite two Dou Ling experts over."

His words made the entire Jia Lie family's higher-ups tremble slightly. Although a Dou Ling expert was only one level above a Da Dou Shi, the gap was absurdly large.

In Wutan City, the total number of Da Dou Shi experts from all the various forces was definitely no less than twenty, but as of now, not a single Dou Ling had appeared.

A single Dou Ling already possessed the strength to destroy the entire Jia Lie family.

What made Jia Lie Bi and the others' hearts tremble even more was, what level was that alchemist behind Xiao Yan?

Just a third-grade Liu Panlong alone could suppress the Jia Lie family so much that they couldn't lift their heads. Then how terrifying must this grand-master, whom Liu Panlong treated with utmost respect, be?

For such a figure, crushing them would be as easy as crushing an ant, right?
