Compared to the seemingly powerful forces, the families descended from the Dou Di are the true rulers of this continent.
So many things have happened to the Yan Clan, and everyone has heard about them to some extent. But no one expected that the Yan Clan would suddenly appear at this moment, and not for anyone else, but to congratulate Xiao Yan.
"This is terrible, this is terrible..."
"This aura...it truly belongs to the Yan Clan!"
"This marriage was absolutely the right decision."
Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Even though the Yan Clan has been severely injured, its remaining strength should not be underestimated. It may even be stronger than the Dan Tower!
Xiao Yan immediately went to greet them personally. The person leading the group was none other than Huo Zhen, a ninth-grade alchemy master who had given him some guidance!
Xiao Yan glanced discreetly at the Yan Clan's group. He recognized only Huo Zhen; Huo Zhi was absent. For a moment, Xiao Yan was unsure whether he felt relief or regret.
"Congratulations, young friend Xiao Yan! I didn't expect to see you again so soon. Your victory over the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan in the Heavenly Tomb made me incredibly happy, and I had to come in person to congratulate you today!"
The other descendants of Dou Di have a rather ambiguous attitude towards the Yan Clan, but the Yan Clan has seen everything Xiao Yan has done. Whether it's helping with pill refining or assisting Huo Zhi in the Heavenly Tomb, these are acts of kindness that are like sending charcoal in snowy weather for the Yan Clan. Now that Xiao Yan is getting married, the Yan Clan naturally has to make a gesture. And since it is Huo Zhen who has come, there's no need to even look at the gift; its value is undoubtedly high.
Xiao Yan smiled as well. The fact that a ninth-grade alchemist had personally come showed how much the Yan Clan valued him: "Elder Huo Zhen's presence is truly an honor. Please take a seat!"
The arrival of the Yan Clan altered the atmosphere of the wedding. Initially, the major powers were extremely polite, wanting to communicate with Huo Zhen but unsure what to say. After all, the Yan Clan's current situation was quite dire.
Ultimately, it was the Pill Tower that broke the atmosphere. As for the topic, it naturally became alchemy. Once the several alchemy masters met and started talking, they had countless topics to discuss.
Just as Xiao Yan and Yao Lao felt that the number of people arriving was about right and were about to proceed to the next step, another disturbance occurred in the sky above the Starfall Pavilion. More than twenty figures appeared somewhat abruptly and hovered in mid-air.
This commotion was far more serious and subtle than any previous arrival of any other force.
Most of them were unfamiliar to him, and Xiao Yan only knew a small portion of them.
The people who came were clearly divided into three groups.
The leader in the middle, with sharp eyes, was Lei Dong, who had fought with Xiao Yan in the sky.
The atmosphere was much more peaceful in the group on the left. Shennong the Elder and his second disciple, Mingshui, were both there, clearly indicating they were from the Medicine Clan. Wei Jiangyuan had also told Xiao Yan that although Shennong the Elder hadn't directly chosen to join the Medicine Clan, his relationship with this family descended from the Dou Di was far from simple.
Although Xiao Yan wasn't very familiar with the rightmost row, he could tell from their demeanor that they were from the Stone Clan, a family descended from the Dou Di.
"Why are they here?"
Xiao Yan was quite surprised to see this. Apart from Shennong, he really had no connection with these three families descended from Dou Di. He hadn't specifically sent them invitations beforehand, so they shouldn't have come.
Moreover, considering the events that occurred in the sky, Xiao Yan had some guesses in his mind. The relationship between these three forces was definitely not simple. Their visit this time was most likely not just to attend the wedding.
But since all visitors are guests, the host naturally cannot drive them all away at this time.
Xiao Yan also stepped forward, and Yao Lao also came to Xiao Yan's side.
"Hehehe, young friend Xiao Yan, congratulations! The Starfall Pavilion is truly bustling today. I wish you and your wife continued success and a smooth journey together." He stroked his long beard with a beaming smile, his tone carrying the sincere congratulations of an elder to a younger generation, also trying to ease the slightly tense atmosphere.
"Thank you, Senior Shennong. I would also like to express my gratitude to everyone for coming."
After Xiao Yan thanked the representatives from the three families descended from Dou Di, Shennong Elder began to introduce them to Xiao Yan one by one.
When the Medicine Clan members were mentioned, the Medicine Elder's expression became quite complicated, and most of the Medicine Clan members turned their attention to him.
After Yao Lao returned, Xiao Yan learned that his teacher had once been born into the Yao Clan. However, Yao Lao himself was not very satisfied with this background, because he was an outcast who had been expelled from the Yao Clan.
The members of the Yao Clan all harbored a certain pride in being descendants of a Dou Di, but now that Elder Yao was a two-star Dou Sheng, they naturally couldn't afford to look down on him anymore. After all, Dou Sheng level strength almost negated the influence of background.
If the former number one alchemist on the continent couldn't be considered a master in front of the Medicine Clan, then the current two-star Dou Sheng is someone everyone has to look up to.
When Xiao Yan's gaze swept over the area slightly behind Shennong, his heart skipped a beat.
She was a girl who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, with a face as exquisite as a jade carving, and clear, pure eyes, seemingly unaware of the ways of the world. She stood there quietly, seemingly out of place among the surrounding members of the Medicine Clan, even appearing somewhat bewildered. Yet, it was this seemingly harmless girl who suddenly made Xiao Yan feel an extremely faint pressure deep within his soul!
It should be noted that Xiao Yan himself is already a Heavenly Realm soul, and among the Dou Sheng powerhouses, he is not even considered the weakest. However, this girl in front of him not only cannot be seen through by Xiao Yan, but he also feels pressure from her. This is definitely not an ordinary person.
During the journey to the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Yan did not see this person, indicating that this person's identity was definitely not simple, so Xiao Yan took a few more glances at him.
"Senior Shennong, Brother Lei Dong, and friends from the Medicine Clan and the Stone Clan, thank you for your long journey! I, Xiao Yan, am grateful to all of you for being here. Please take your seats and have a drink!"
Xiao Yan remained calm and invited the members of the three Dou Di descendant families to sit down. He was confident that he could handle any situation, even if their arrival was sudden and unexpected.
Yao Lao also gave Xiao Yan a reassuring look, because no matter what happens, it can be postponed today. After all, today is Xiao Yan's wedding, and getting married should be the top priority.
