Chapter 1662 - 1627: Thanos Saint Is About to Exit Seclusion

Yang Xiao hesitated for a moment, then decided not to take the risk of heading to the capital city of the Hengguang Empire at this time, especially as he still had Xiao Qingliu and Xiao Bai with him.

Yang Xiao already possessed the Golden Battle God Armor and Wind-controlling Boots, so even if his combat power wasn't sufficient, he believed he could escape from the capital city of the Hengguang Empire safely. However, it was uncertain for Xiao Qingliu and Xiao Bai.

"Xiao Bai, I plan to return to Shendu College tomorrow. Do you want to stay here, or come back with us?"

Xiao Bai hesitated, unsure of her decision, and glanced at the Sky Wolf Leader.

The Sky Wolf King said:

"Xiao Bai, if you choose to stay, you are naturally welcome. If you decide to leave with Master Yang, we respect your choice. Personally, I suggest you return to Shendu College with Master Yang,

You've lived in human society for fifty years. I see that your intellect has awakened, completely aligning with human sensibility, and the aura of a demon beast is completely gone,

Furthermore, you left the Ancient Continent and the Sky Wolf Clan at a young age, so you're unable to adapt to our way of life anymore; staying would only cause you more pain,

Therefore, I strongly recommend that you return to human society with Master Yang."

Xiao Bai looked at the Sky Wolf King but did not speak.

Her situation was indeed as the Sky Wolf King described; it was quite awkward.

Xiao Bai now preferred the human lifestyle—clean, orderly, civilized, with assurances in all facets of life.

Having lived in human society for fifty years, she's accustomed to everything there. Returning to the Ancient Continent to live as a demon beast within the Sky Wolf Clan is truly difficult for Xiao Bai.

The Sky Wolf Leader glanced at Yang Xiao, suddenly kneeling.

Yang Xiao was startled and quickly helped the Sky Wolf Leader stand up, saying:

"What are you doing? We can discuss this calmly!"

"Benefactor, you are the benefactor of our Sky Wolf Clan. Xiao Bai is my elder brother's daughter. Her entire family was tragically killed fifty years ago, leaving only two children. Xiao Bai was taken to human society at a young age, making it difficult for her to adjust to our demon beast lifestyle,

I know that you are a kind person. I beg you to take care of Xiao Bai. I will kneel before you!"

The Sky Wolf King said and then bowed his head down.

Yang Xiao quickly helped the Sky Wolf King up, saying:

"I have always treated Xiao Bai like a sister. As long as she is willing, she can come back with us, and I will certainly take good care of her. We respect Xiao Bai's decision."

Everyone looked at Xiao Bai.

Xiao Qingliu held Xiao Bai's hand and said:

"Xiao Bai, come back with us."

Xiao Bai smiled politely, nodding her head.

On the next day, Yang Xiao and the others took their leave from the Sky Wolf Clan and returned to the Transmission Array. Yang Xiao took out a Jade Token and swiped it on a device of the Transmission Array, immediately causing a burst of light. The vision before Yang Xiao and the others went dark, and they disappeared from the Ancient Continent.

A moment later, the three found their vision brightening as they appeared at the Transmission Array of Shendu College.

As the three walked out of the Transmission Array and were about to leave, they were approached by a guard who was running over, calling out:

"Is it Yang Xiao?"

Yang Xiao nodded and said:

"I am Yang Xiao."

"The Divine Hall's Ying Tianmo came to the college the day before yesterday looking for you. They asked that you immediately go to the Divine Hall Elder's Court after leaving the Ancient Continent."

"Ah? Ying Tianmo didn't say what the matter was?"

"No, he only left a message. This is the audio-visual Jade Dishware Ying Tianmo left for you."

The guard handed a black jade token to Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao accepted it and thanked the guard, then turned to Xiao Qingliu and Xiao Bai and said:

"I need to make a trip to the Divine Hall."

Xiao Qingliu said:

"Shall I accompany you?"

"No need. You've just returned, take a good rest. I'll be back shortly to find you."

"Okay, take care of yourself. Xiao Bai and I will head off."

"Goodbye Brother Yang!"

Xiao Bai waved goodbye to Yang Xiao as she left arm-in-arm with Xiao Qingliu.

Xiao Bai and Xiao Qingliu had grown as close as sisters over the past few days they spent together.

Yang Xiao walked to a quiet place and injected Genetic Evolution Energy into the jade token, where the image of Ying Tianmo appeared.

"Elder Yang, the Thanos Saint is about to exit seclusion. All of the Divine Hall Elders are going to welcome Thanos Saint from seclusion. If you're out of the Ancient Continent, head to the Divine Hall immediately."

Yang Xiao froze,

Thanos Saint leaving seclusion? Didn't the guy say that once he leaves seclusion, he will lead the army to conquer Witch Star?

Yang Xiao quickly left Shendu College and flew towards the Divine Hall.

Yang Xiao now had the Wind-controlling Boots, making his speed incredible. As soon as he left Shendu College, he used the Floating Flight Technique, arriving at the Divine Hall in no time.

The four guards stationed at the Divine Hall's gates bowed instantly when they saw Yang Xiao, saying:

"Greetings, Elder Yang."

Yang Xiao nodded, entered the Divine Hall, and noticed that there were far more staff than usual inside, and even the number of guards had doubled.

As he entered the Divine Hall Elder Court for the clan gathering meeting, he spotted Ying Tianmo, Lei Tianmo, North Heavenly Demon, and others discussing something at the round table from afar.

"Elders, I apologize for my late arrival!"

Yang Xiao was now an elder and, being on the same level as Ying Tianmo and others, wasn't obliged to greet them formally.

Having not seen Yang Xiao for a year or two, Ying Tianmo and others were surprised by his significant change in aura upon seeing him again.

Xiao Qingliu and others, being around Yang Xiao daily, didn't sense his vast aura change, but Ying Tianmo and others were astounded by it.

"Wow, Brother Yang, you've made quite the progress at Shendu College in the past two years!"

"Indeed, Elder Yang's aura is strong, his Genetic Evolution Realm seems to have made great leaps."

"Elder Yang, I've heard of your achievements. You've become a legendary figure at Shendu College, admired by everyone."

"Brother Yang, you're still young and haven't settled down with a woman—how can that be? My niece, eighteen years old now, is considered the top beauty of our Beifeng Clan. If you're interested, I can introduce her to you, sound good?"

...

Yang Xiao laughed heartily and replied:

"All you older brothers just love to tease your little brother! I am but a junior; how could I compare with you seniors? I have greatly benefited from Shendu College, but in comparison to all of you seasoned veterans, it's not worth mentioning, isn't worth mentioning, haha..."

Ying Tianmo said:

"Brother Yang, your return is timely; tomorrow we welcome Thanos Saint from seclusion."

"Oh, that's wonderful. I haven't met Thanos Saint the Great Chief and am both excited and nervous at the prospect."

"I believe the Great Chief will be very fond of you once you meet."

"By the way, with Thanos Saint's return, is he planning to immediately lead the army to attack Witch Star?"

Ying Tianmo and the others exchanged glances, then replied solemnly:

"Correct, we are preparing fifty thousand troops to follow Thanos Saint on his campaign to Witch Star. Brother Yang, you mentioned that your Central Continent Empire could muster twenty thousand troops; is everything ready?"

"Rest assured, I already had the troops assembled a year ago, awaiting your order."

"Good, good, Elder Yang, you're all determination, good!"
