On the Yellow Stone Fortress, as Xiao Chong's figure descended, many people immediately cast admiring glances toward him.
In the eyes of many young women, there was even a glimmer of longing.
Nalan Yanran, on the other hand, wore a somewhat proud expression. After all, she knew that the one who had shone so brilliantly was her future husband.
Moreover, the outcome of today's battle would undoubtedly spread throughout the entire Northwestern Continent.
With his own strength, he had nearly annihilated the army of an entire nation, killing one Dou Zong and forcing another to flee.
By then, Xiao Chong's name would inevitably become a new legend across the Northwestern Continent of the Dou Qi Continent.
However, Xiao Chong naturally ignored the adoring gazes of the crowd and instead turned his attention to the distant battlefield, where there were still some treasures to be found.
Xiao Chong's palm emitted a suction force toward the corpse of the Chu Yun Emperor, and in an instant, both the body and the spatial ring in its hand fell into Xiao Chong's grasp.
No matter what, this guy was the emperor of the Chu Yun Empire, and the treasures within his spatial ring were undoubtedly vast.
Among them were also many techniques for cultivating poison-based attacks.
In the original story, it was likely that Xiao Yi Xian, after killing this guy, obtained all the royal collections, which allowed her to quickly establish the Poison Sect.
Now, these items had fallen into his hands. Once Xiao Chong studied them upon his return, he might be able to uncover a few Heaven-tier poison techniques.
The Xiao family indeed lacked poison techniques. Although such techniques might sound evil, this was the Dou Qi Continent. If you could emerge as the ultimate victor, who would care whether you used poison techniques or not?
In addition to the poison cultivation techniques, Xiao Chong also found some precious medicinal herbs. However, these were of little use to him, as the quality of his medicinal fields would likely make even the "Dan World" of the Alchemist Tower blush with shame.
There were also some rare metals and magic core weapons, which he could melt down and refine later when the opportunity arose.
As for the corpse of the Dou Zong, it might come in handy in the future, so Xiao Chong decided to take it as well.
Seeing Xiao Chong's decisions, Jia Xing Tian and the others naturally said nothing, though they were somewhat curious. After all, what lay within the storage bracelet of an emperor was something to be coveted.
However, Jia Xing Tian was tactful and clasped his fists, saying, "Mr. Xiao Chong, thank you for your assistance this time. If it weren't for your heroic efforts, we would have never been able to withstand the attack of the Chu Yun Empire."
"From now on, your name, Mr. Xiao Chong, will surely spread across the Northwestern Continent."
Immediately, on the walls of the Huangshi Fortress, the many strong figures, seeing Jia Xing Tian's lead, also began to clasp their fists toward Xiao Chong, expressing their gratitude and respect.
Although they usually carried a lot of pride, in front of Xiao Chong, they all appeared increasingly submissive.
In Princess Yao Ye's eyes, there was even a glimmer of admiration.
Among these strong figures, the one who was probably the happiest was Nalan Jie.
After all, in his eyes, Xiao Chong was the perfect, flawless grandson-in-law.
Of course, Xiao Chong had no interest in caring about their thoughts and casually remarked, "It's nothing. The fact that the Chu Yun Empire's army is pressing down on this time is somewhat related to me. I'm just here to resolve some unnecessary trouble."
Although Xiao Chong spoke indifferently, Jia Xing Tian gave a subtle glance to Yao Ye behind him. Yao Ye's cheeks flushed slightly, and she stepped forward, respectfully clasping her fists and saying, "Regardless of the reason, Mr. Xiao Chong has done a great favor for our Jia Ma Empire. In the future, if there is anything you need, we will certainly spare no effort." As she spoke, Yao Ye bowed to Xiao Chong, her graceful figure subtly revealed beneath her silver armor.
Xiao Chong glanced at her, though not to admire her figure but to ponder something. Currently, the Heavenly Emperor Brush of the Xiao family and his own Eight Trigrams Alchemy Furnace still lacked the necessary materials to be constructed. Given the current capabilities of the Xiao family, obtaining those precious materials and ores was still quite challenging. However, if the entire Jia Ma Empire were to assist in gathering these materials, they might be able to collect a significant amount. Perhaps, for the time being, this weak little country still had its uses.
Of course, it was clear to everyone that Yao Ye's proactive stance was merely to make herself more familiar and favorable in Xiao Chong's eyes. After all, compared to the older, seasoned powerhouses, Yao Ye's beauty was indeed more striking and likely to attract Xiao Chong's attention. Many Dou Wang-level experts glanced at Jia Xing Tian inwardly, cursing him for being shameless—just like Nalan Jie, another old shameless fellow.
As everyone chatted and laughed, on the distant battlefield where a meteor had fallen, a pitch-black aura began to surge from the ground where the meteor had struck. Soon, everyone on the Yellow Stone Fortress noticed the aura, and their expressions turned slightly peculiar. However, they weren't overly concerned. After all, standing here on the Yellow Stone Fortress was someone who had effortlessly repelled the Yun Empire's army. What could a mere wisp of black gas, seemingly like a false alarm, possibly amount to?
But when Xiao Chong sensed that dark current, his expression immediately became complex. "This is... an extraterrestrial evil clan? How could it appear here?" Feeling the overwhelmingly malevolent aura, Xiao Chong's eyes sharpened. "This was an aura that could easily corrode even the natural Qi of the world. Such a presence was practically the bane of any native of the Dou Qi Continent."
It was precisely because of this that Xiao Chong could discern, just from the leaking aura, what was hidden beneath the surface.
The extraterrestrial evil clan was the primary enemy of the Great Thousand World, the higher realm above the Dou Qi Continent. However, these monsters occasionally invaded lower planes, bringing immense destruction.
After sensing this aura, Xiao Chong immediately realized that it might have been the moment when the meteor shower he had just unleashed fell to the ground. It was likely that some kind of monster, long sealed beneath the surface, had also been released.
Although he wasn't sure why such a dangerous presence existed on the Dou Qi Continent, Xiao Chong knew that this thing had to be dealt with immediately, or it would truly cause a catastrophe! "All of you, stay back!"
With an extremely serious expression, Xiao Chong issued the order to the people on the Yellow stone Fortress. Then, he walked forward alone and entered the massive crater created by his falling meteor.
