On the main street, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, who had been waiting for a while, saw Xiao Ming walking out holding hands with Zi Yan and a smile appeared on their faces.
"Young master, is it all done?" Qing Lin asked.
"Mm, why were you two standing at the door of the store?" Xiao Ming asked curiously.
"We were just a little tired from the flight, so we decided to get off Shi Zi for a moment" It was Xiao Yi Xian who replied with a smile.
"I see, it's almost time for us to arrive." Xiao Ming nodded and then motioned to Shi Zi.
Seeing this, the Amethyst Winged Lion King hurried over and leaned its body down so that everyone could climb onto its back.
After Xiao Ming started to climb onto the Lion King's back, Zi Yan, who was hand in hand next to him, turned to look at Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, and nodded her head, implying something.
After seeing her gesture, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin looked at each other and then hurried to climb onto Shi Zi's back.
After Xiao Ming and the girls climbed on its back, Shi Zi's wings slowly flapped and its whole body soared, causing a large black shadow to appear on the ground, and a moment later, there was no trace of it left in the sky.
Shortly after the Amethyst Winged Lion King disappeared, a few people dressed in the costumes of the various Black-Corner Region forces suddenly appeared at the entrance to the Cartography Pavilion, and instead of entering directly, they looked at each other.
They all understood each other's purpose for coming here, and it was to learn the reason why an existence like Xiao Ming would enter this small store.
After looking at each other, without needing to say anything else, all these people entered the Cartography Pavilion together with a great unspoken understanding.
Not to mention what happened in Black Seal City after Xiao Ming's departure.
Under Shi Zi's extremely fast flight, Xiao Ming and the others were getting closer and closer to Jia Nan City.
...
In the afternoon, the waning sun painted the ground with a reddish hue, and the sky was flooded with beautiful fiery clouds.
The entrance gate to Jia Nan Academy, Jia Nan City.
A dozen men and women dressed in blue uniforms stood at the city gate, and on the chest of those uniforms, they all wore an azure insignia with a dagger stained with crimson blood, this was the symbol of the Law Enforcement Unit of the Jia Nan Academy.
In front of these men and women, there were also people from Black-Corner Region who had a fierce look on their faces.
It seemed that the Law Enforcement Unit was in Jia Nan City today to maintain law and order as usual.
"Stop wasting our time, hurry up and take this pill".
After urging them on and watching the people in front of him take the pill, Yin Ling allowed them to enter.
As he was about to give the next orders to the students, he suddenly noticed the appearance of a tall old man, dressed in red, with white hair and beard.
Next to the old man, there was a red-haired young man dressed in black and blood red.
Seeing the old man, Yin Ling could not help but freeze for a moment, wasn't this Commander Wu Tianlang? Why had he suddenly appeared at the entrance of Jia Nan City?
Without much thought, he approached the old man and respectfully asked.
"Commander, why did you come out?"
Wu Tianlang looked at Yin Ling and calmly said.
"Yin Ling, so you are on duty today. I need you to evacuate all the students, there is a strong aura flying toward us this time."
"A strong aura?" Yin Ling was surprised to hear those words. The Commander was a peak Dou Emperor existence, so anyone who could be described as strong by him had to be a Dou Emperor at the very least, right?
Thinking about this, Yin Ling hurriedly nodded his head and prepared to turn around to evacuate the students.
However, just after they finished speaking, a sound of air breaking came from the sky.
A gigantic creature appeared at the entrance of Jia Nan City accompanied by sounds of exclamations.
"Sixth Rank Amethyst Winged Lion King." The Amethyst Winged Lion Clan boasted some of the most distinctive features among sixth-rank magical beasts, and Wu Tianlang, who had seen many things in his life, recognized it at a glance.
As Wu Tianlang gazed at the scene, he could not help but sigh.
The speed of the Dou Emperor Magical Beast was too fast, no time had passed at all since he had sensed the other party's aura, and the other party had already arrived in Jia Nan City.
"Commander, what do we do now? "Yin Ling quickly approached Wu Tianlang and asked in a low voice.
Despite asking this, there was little fear on Yin Ling's face.
After all, there was a corpse of a Dou Emperor hanging from the Death Spirit Tree outside, and the Jia Nan Academy would not be afraid of a Dou Emperor level magical beast.
Especially when there was the Jia Nan Academy's Commander standing beside him, a peak Dou Emperor existence, knowing that Wu Tianlang was also among the strongest in his own stage.
If Yin Ling did not panic, of course, Wu Tianlang did not panic either, he had asked Yin Ling to evacuate the students, just to keep them safe.
"We should get closer and take a look, I hadn't noticed before, but now that I'm closer, by the aura, there are a few more people on the back of the Amethyst Winged Lion King. And there's an aura among those people that feels very familiar."
Before the two could reach the Amethyst Winged Lion King, a man suddenly came down from the magical beast's back.
Looking at that person, both Yin Ling and Wu Tianlang froze for a moment, and then a joyful look appeared on their faces.
"Xiao Ming! Elder Xiao!"
Hearing the shouts, Xiao Ming looked their way, just in time to see the two people.
"Commander Wu, Tutor Yin Ling." Seeing the two, Xiao Ming also revealed a smile as he walked towards them until finally stood in front of them.
"Hahaha, so it's you kid, I was just saying something about the Amethyst Winged Lion King carrying a familiar aura on it. Once you left the academy, you were gone for more than half a year, this is something that the Elders of our academy must miss." Wu Tianlang stroked his beard and laughed.
"By the way, I heard from Old Huo that you had returned to your family, how is everything back home?"
Speaking of which, most of the Elders of Jia Nan Academy had been friends with Elder Huo for many years, and although Xiao Ming was also an Elder, they were still considered Xiao Ming's Elders after all.
"Thank you for your concern, Commander, everything is fine at home."
After smiling and exchanging a few pleasantries, Wu Tianlong merely pointed at the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
"What's with this Amethyst Winged Lion King?"
"Shi Zi is the subordinate I recruited from the Jia Ma Empire this time."
Both of them were surprised to hear that Xiao Ming had taken the Amethyst Winged Lion King as his subordinate.
After all, a sixth-rank magical beast would normally not become subservient to a powerhouse of the same rank.
For Xiao Ming to be able to subordinate a magical beast of the same rank, it was a sign of his ability.
Wait, a magical beast of the same rank?
This thought arose in Wu Tianlang's mind, then he carefully looked at Xiao Ming and lost his voice.
"In just this time period of half a year, you're already a Dou Emperor!"
Because he was too shocked, Wu Tianlang's voice was very loud.
It directly caused a commotion among the surrounding students who were sniffing around.
"What, a Dou Emperor!?"
"My goodness, he looks younger than me!"
"Dou Emperor is my lifelong goal, and someone else reached it in their teens. Is there such a big gap between people?"
...
"It was just a bit of luck." Xiao Ming waved his hand and continued.
"It's not worth mentioning. Besides, behind the Amethyst Winged Lion King's back, the two girls, other than Zi Yan, are the geniuses I've encountered this time, and in terms of their talents, both of them are above me."
Wu Tianyang and Yin Ling heard his words and just thought Xiao Ming was joking.
"Alas, don't be modest, your cultivation speed is obvious to everyone. Originally, I came to think that the obstacle from Dou King to Dou Emperor would slow you down for a while, but I didn't expect this surprise." Wu Tianlang sounded very excited.
Yin Ling laughed, "Right, in the entire Black-Corner Region as well as the surrounding area, who doesn't know your reputation as the first genius of Jia Nan Academy? To say that someone is more talented than you, I can believe it, but this time you went out and brought back two of them, if this is really true, then your luck is really good."
Seeing that he was not believed, Xiao Ming did not bother to explain.
"Outsiders have to register to enter the Academy, this also applies to me, right?"
"You're an Academy Elder, do you think we wouldn't trust you? I'll just write down their names later". Wu Tianlang waved his hand, since he was in charge of the Law Enforcement Unit in the first place, this was nothing but a minor problem for him.
On the main street, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, who had been waiting for a while, saw Xiao Ming walking out holding hands with Zi Yan and a smile appeared on their faces.
"Young master, is it all done?" Qing Lin asked.
"Mm, why were you two standing at the door of the store?" Xiao Ming asked curiously.
