Noticing the flash of cold light, the three of them shuddered and shook their heads with a bitter smile.
"Sir, you misunderstood."
Wang Yan frowned. "Misunderstood?
How is that a misunderstanding? "
In an instant, the three of them looked at each other. Then, the silver dragon smiled awkwardly and pointed to Hei Yun on Wang Yan's shoulder.
"Sir, the Holy Son is of great importance. He must stay in the Misty Forest and let us take care of him."
"Therefore, when you go to Central Continent this time, you must leave the Holy Son behind."
Hearing this, Wang Yan was slightly startled.
He had always regarded Hei Yun as his pet beast. He had never thought that Hei Yun would be a descendant of some divine beast, let alone that Hei Yun had such an identity.
And through the narration of the three of them, he vaguely understood that Hei Yun seemed to be related to some earth-shattering event.
A thousand years ago, the two great demons who lived in the Sunset Mountains and the Dense Forest Mountains handed Hei Yun, who had yet to hatch, to the three of them to take care of him and instructed them to do everything.
Thinking of this, Wang Yan raised his eyebrows. "Didn't the great demon who handed the Holy Son to you say that a member of the Human Clan will take the Holy Son away after a thousand years? He told you not to stop him."
"A few years ago, I took the Holy Son away, completely in line with the great demon senior's instructions. But now you want me to leave the Holy Son behind. Why?"
Hearing this, the silver dragon's expression suddenly became strange.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly sighed and looked at Hei Yun, who had fallen asleep on Wang Yan's shoulder, with a complicated look.
"Lord Qing Huo of Central Continent has a grudge with the two venerables of the Sunset Mountains and the Dense Forest Mountains.
"This is a very old grudge, so long that even we don't know about it. We only heard some rumors.
"Therefore, if you go to Central Continent with the Holy Son, and if Lord Qing Huo finds out, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
The silver dragon emphasized the last sentence, as if deliberately emphasizing it.
Wang Yan could not help but frown upon hearing that. His shoulders trembled slightly.
The black cloud woke up with a start. It opened its sharp eyes and looked around. Then, it suddenly started to chirp.
For a moment, Yin Jiao and the other two revealed extremely awkward expressions.
After a while, the black cloud stopped talking and returned to its previous demeanor. It rested peacefully on Wang Yan's shoulder and slowly closed its eyes as if it was resting.
"Sir, since the Holy Son is unwilling to leave you, one of us must accompany you to the Central Continent to ensure the Holy Son's safety."
"If something unexpected happens, you must hand over the Holy Son to any one of the three of us. We will take the Holy Son and escape immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, Silver Flood Dragon took a deep breath. His gaze gradually became firm and sharp, and he looked directly at Wang Yan without fear. "If you don't agree, the three of us will make the Holy Son stay even if we have to risk our lives!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly froze, and the air became extremely heavy. It was as if a 500kg boulder was pressing down on their chests, causing them to feel suffocated.
The warm breeze was no longer blowing, and time seemed to have stopped.
In the next moment, the corners of Wang Yan's mouth rose slightly, and a cold arc appeared on his handsome face.
"Are you threatening me?"
His indifferent and cold voice seemed to contain infinite magic. As soon as he spoke, the space suddenly shook, and ripples appeared like water waves, surging endlessly.
Silver Flood Dragon and the other two suddenly trembled, and a trace of fear appeared on their wrinkled old faces.
At this moment, in their eyes, Wang Yan was no longer that calm and ordinary young man.
Instead, he was a terrifying existence that could shatter the world with a wave of his hand and suppress everything.
That faintly discernible pressure caused the souls of the three of them to freeze.
"Sir, sir, the three of us don't mean that. It's just that the Holy Son is of great importance, and we can't let anything go wrong."
Silver Flood Dragon took a deep breath and suppressed the fear in his heart.
Too terrifying, this young man is so terrifying!
Hearing this, Wang Yan frowned slightly and pondered for a moment. "In that case, the three of you decide who will go with me."
With that, the three of them let out a sigh of relief as if a great burden had been lifted from their shoulders.
Only then did they realise that their clothes had become completely drenched at some point in time.
The three of them looked at each other. In the end, Silver Flood Dragon took a step forward and bowed slightly.
"I'll go with you to the central continent."
"Up to you."
…
Out of the five continents on the Starsource Continent, the central continent was the richest and most mysterious.
Due to its unique geography and abundant resources, the power of stars was abundant, nurturing countless experts over the years.
It was exactly because of this that the central continent had always ranked first in the past Grand Competitions of Starsource. It had never changed.
As a result, the central continent was known as the most powerful of the five continents, and the empire that ruled over the central continent was the most powerful of the five. It was called the Boundless Empire.
It was vast and boundless, and its legacy had lasted for who knew how many years.
If the Skyroad sect were to be considered as rather fearful of organisations, then aside from the Sky-devouring clan that had retired countless years ago, the Boundless Empire of the central continent was the only one left.
The entire eastern continent was filled with experts and countless sects.
Among them, the most powerful were the empire, the three palaces, the six halls, and the twelve sects.
Aside from the imperial family, the most powerful organisations in the Boundless Empire were the six major cities.
Ranked first was the city closest to the Boundless Empire, Nightfall City, followed by Peerless City, Windthunder City, Luoxi City, Deep Heaven City, and Dreamy Cloud City.
Under the six main cities were countless cities of various sizes, as well as countless sects.
On this day, two uninvited guests suddenly appeared in one of the six major cities, Dreamy Cloud City.
The two of them were Wang Yan and Silver Flood Dragon, who had teleported over from the Western Continent.
As soon as he stepped out of the teleportation formation, Wang Yan was completely shocked.
The power of stars permeated the surroundings like a thick mist. He felt refreshed with just a single breath, and even the circulation of his dantian sped up slightly.
Star Condensation cultivators could be seen everywhere on the streets, and Star Refinement cultivators were as plentiful as the hairs on a cow.
Even the Star Tempering cultivators who were known as rulers of the Eastern Continent frequently appeared.
Occasionally, one or two Full Star Realm experts would pass by quickly in the sky, but they did not emit the aura unique to the Full Star Realm, as if they were afraid of something.
"So this is the strongest of the five continents, the central continent? It's extraordinary indeed!"
As soon as Wang Yan finished speaking, there was suddenly a sharp, piercing sound of wind breaking.
In the next instant, a black cloud floated over from the horizon and landed in front of the two of them in the blink of an eye, revealing a team of guards dressed in black armor.
The one in the lead was a tall and sturdy man wearing a set of exquisite black and gold armor.
His face was resolute, his eyebrows like knives, and his nose bridge like a dagger, emitting a sharp aura.
In particular, his eyes were extremely cold, like two ancient pieces of ice, emitting a cold and merciless aura.
