Xu Nian did not know what Leng Yanran had gone through after he left.
If he had known, he would never have allowed the old woman to take Leng Yanran away.
Of course, Leng Yanran had intentionally concealed it from him, not wanting him to know.
She did not want Xu Nian to be involved in her whirlpool of troubles.
She only hoped that Xu Nian would live well.
Xu Nian, who was completely unaware that Leng Yanran had already left,
had now arrived at Big Bull Town.
He had changed his appearance and was walking on the main street of Big Bull Town.
Unless one was a Saint, it would be impossible to recognize his true appearance.

What puzzled him was that Big Bull Town seemed no different from usual.
The surrounding shops and vendors were still selling, and the passersby were talking and laughing, with nothing out of the ordinary.
Xu Nian did not spot any of the Desolate Hall People.
This confused Xu Nian even more.
Could it be that Leng Yanran’s investigation was wrong?
Otherwise, why was there not a single person from the Desolate Hall in sight?
"Move, everybody move!"
At that moment,
a shouting could be heard from down the street.
Simultaneously, the inside of the street began to shake violently.
It was as if an earthquake were occurring.
And the shaking was getting more intense.
Obviously, it was not a real earthquake, but rather a Demon Beast running wildly.
Xu Nian looked toward the direction of the sound.
He saw a young man riding a huge blue ox charging down the street.
The blue ox snorted out blue smoke as if it had gone mad.
Its massive size bulldozed through the crowd on the street, causing chaos and turning people and animals upside down.
The blue ox was about two meters tall, clearly not something the average person could withstand.
Obviously, this blue ox was a Battle Sect Peak Level Demon Beast.
On the back of the blue ox sat another youth.
The youth’s cultivation had actually reached the One-star Battle General Level.
However, Xu Nian could tell with one glance that the youth’s cultivation was somewhat inflated.
It was clear that it had been artificially boosted with the help of an external force.
Could it be that a youth from a small town could possess an artifact that artificially enhanced one’s cultivation?
Clearly, something tricky was going on here.
"Move quickly, don’t block my way!"
The youth yelled, seemingly trying to subdue the Battle Sect Peak Level Demon Beast beneath him.
The young man was galloping straight toward Xu Nian.
The surrounding pedestrians hastily cleared a path, fearing that they might be struck by the blue ox and end up shattered to pieces.
As the crowd dispersed, Xu Nian, standing in the middle of the street, suddenly became incredibly conspicuous.
The youth riding the giant ox noticed Xu Nian.
Someone actually dared to block the path of the giant ox.
"Kid, are you looking for death? Move quickly!"
The youth shouted at Xu Nian.
The surrounding crowd also showed faces of surprise.
They whispered pointing at Xu Nian.
"Is this guy a fool? Why doesn’t he move? If he gets hit by such a huge ox, he’ll definitely be killed!"
"Yes, he’s even smiling, completely oblivious to the danger. He must really be a fool!"
"Young man, move away quickly!"
The surrounding murmurs were abundant, and some well-meaning people even shouted reminders.
Yet Xu Nian remained completely unmoved.
Seeing Xu Nian still standing there unflinchingly, a surge of anger swelled in the youth’s eyes on the back of the blue ox.
"If you’re seeking death, don’t blame me."
The youth shouted, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes.
He directly steered the blue ox, charging straight at Xu Nian.
The youth was so fast that the distance of a hundred meters merely took a blink of an eye, and he was already in front of Xu Nian.
The next moment, he was about to slam right into Xu Nian.
"Mu!"
The youth also spotted the figure of the young boy ahead, seemingly enraged by the ignorant mortals before him.
He let out a roar from his mouth.
Then he charged at Xu Nian with his two sharp horns.
The horns, hard and straight as swords.
If they were to strike Xu Nian’s chest.
They could likely tear a man’s chest into pieces.
The women and children among the bystanders all covered their eyes, unable to watch.
Afraid to witness a horrifying scene.
The youth on the back of the Demon Beast scoffed repeatedly, seemingly envisioning the scene of the boy being impaled by the Demon Beast.
However, just when everyone thought Xu Nian was undoubtedly doomed.
Xu Nian merely smiled slightly.
And slowly threw a punch.
"Boom!"
The massive beast’s terrifying speed abruptly halted.
A series of bone-breaking sounds followed.
The huge body seemed compressed.
A three-meter-long Demon Beast was instantly flattened into a meat patty barely half a meter thick.
The youth on the Demon Beast was thrown off, flying hundreds of meters before crashing to the ground.
"How... how is this possible?"
The bystanders were dumbfounded.
Such a huge youth was smashed into a meat patty by a single punch?
The residents who had just opened their eyes to watch the scene were all stunned.
In that moment, they seemed to see the massive Demon Beast striking an incredibly hard iron wall.
And the boy’s feet hadn’t even moved half an inch.
Had they not seen it with their own eyes, even if they were beaten to death, they would not believe it.
That someone could crush such a massive beast into a meat patty with a fist.
The youth from the ground started to get up, looking at the flattened youth.
His eyes widened as he took a deep breath.
"Are you... are you human or a monster?" the youth quickly questioned.
The bystanders all looked towards Xu Nian, instinctively stepping back.
Fear was evident in their eyes.
Because they felt that a human couldn’t have such immense strength.
Xu Nian simply smiled and said, "Of course I’m human. You let the Demon Beast run rampant in the street, even trying to charge at me, and I’m not allowed to kill your beast?"
The youth was at a loss for words.
Damn it?
Killing the beast was an understatement.
This Battle Sect Peak Level Demon Beast had been smashed into a meat patty by you.
"This person is not simple; I must report back to the adults," the youth thought to himself.
Then he turned and ran, sprinting toward a direction on the street.
Even a fool would know, with the power to smash a Battle Sect Peak Demon Beast into a patty, how strong the person must be.
So, of course, he wouldn’t foolishly provoke him, despite looking much younger.
"He’s running away? Young Master Niu is actually running away!"
The bystanders were all talking.
Clearly, the ’Young Master Niu’ they referred to was that youth who had just fled.
Xu Nian watched the fleeing youth, a smile playing on his lips.
He stepped forward, directly catching up to Young Master Niu.
Curiously, Xu Nian’s pace wasn’t fast.
But one step covered nearly ten meters.
Although Young Master Niu displayed the speed of a Battle General Level, he still couldn’t shake off Xu Nian.
In this way, Xu Nian leisurely maintained a hundred meters distance from this Young Master Niu until they reached the eastern part of the town.
There was a majestic mansion, obviously the dominion of a local tyrant in Big Bull Town.
Xu Nian eyed the mansion, narrowing his eyes.
"Indeed, this is the place!"
Xu Nian smiled slightly; he had already sensed the unique dark aura of the Desolate Hall People.
