Yunlan Sect.
As the most powerful force in the Gama Empire, the uninterrupted inheritance from generation to generation has made this ancient sect stand at the top of the Gama Empire. If it were not for the sect's canon that states that the power of the emperor cannot be seized, I am afraid that during the several changes of imperial dynasties in the past, the Yunlan Sect would have completely controlled the entire Gama Empire.
However, with Yunshan's breakthrough to Douzong, coupled with the recent actions of Yunlan Sect and the three empires' declaration of war on the Jiama Empire.
During this period of time, various situations have made the situation in the empire become extremely complicated, and the Yunlan Sect's principle that the emperor's power cannot be taken away seems to have been trampled upon and forgotten.
However, no matter what the future will be between the Yunlan Sect and the Jia Ma Empire, the Yunlan Sect has welcomed an extremely important guest at this moment.
At the end of the long stone steps, there is mist and clouds, and behind the clouds is a huge square.
The square is paved entirely with huge stones, which gives it an ancient and majestic look. In the center of the square, a huge stone tablet stands tall. On the stone tablet are recorded the names of all the past leaders of the Yunlan Sect and those who have made great contributions to the sect.
Looking around the square, there were nearly a thousand people sitting cross-legged here. These people sat in a semicircle. Without exception, they were all wearing moon-white robes. At the cuffs of their sleeves, there were cloud-like swords floating in the wind, like living things, faintly containing some faint sword intent.
In the center of these thousand people, there is a single stone staircase.
The woman in the moon-colored robe closed her eyes slightly. As the breeze blew, the robe clung to her body, revealing her perfect curvaceous figure underneath.
The camera moved to the woman's beautiful face that was calm and indifferent. It was Yun Yun's disciple, Nalan Yanran!
On the opposite side of the Yunlan Sect, Hai Bodong had a solemn expression.
On both sides of Hai Bodong, there were three Dou Wang masters, they were Mitel Tengshan from the Mitel family, Fa Ma from the Alchemist Guild, and a Dou Wang master from the royal family.
The chaos in the Gama Empire caused a sharp decrease in the number of strong people in the empire. Even for such a grand event that was scheduled to take place three years ago, only a few people arrived. This shows the weakness of the Gama Empire at this moment.
"Your Excellency Binghuang, Yunshan has now entered the realm of Douzong. There is also a Douhuang like Yunyun in the sect, and even Gu He has broken through to the Douhuang level a few days ago."
The Dou Wang expert from the royal family lowered his voice and said to Hai Bodong beside him: "Besides this, the Yun Lan Sect has countless Dou Wang and Dou Ling experts. You support Xiao Yan like this... Aren't you afraid of causing trouble for the Mitel family and yourself?"
"hehe."
Hai Bodong smiled calmly and crossed his arms: "Everyone knows Yunshan's intentions. The royal family should take care of themselves first."
"Although we didn't have much contact with the Mittel family in the past, this doesn't mean we can't have contact and cooperation in the future."
The powerful Dou Wang of the royal family whispered: "As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
"Xingtian must be under a lot of pressure on the front line. I saw that he even called the old dragon over a few days ago. It seems that the three empires are serious this time."
Hai Bodong said calmly: "Moreover, the snake people have also made some moves. It is said that the marginal cities of the Tagor Desert, such as Shimo City and Mo City, have already fallen. I'm afraid you are now in a state of panic."
"If Yunlan Sect takes action again... hehe."
The Dou Wang strongman of the royal family had cold sweat on his forehead, but he still whispered: "When the nest is overturned, no eggs will be left intact. I think Your Excellency the Ice Emperor should understand that we are all just trying to survive better."
"Let's talk about it later. Everything will wait until this competition is over."
"…Whatever."
The wide square is quiet and silent, and time passes quietly in the tranquility.
Above the sky, the huge sun slowly climbed to the top, and the warm sunlight poured down, filling the entire mountain top.
At a certain moment, the sound of faint footsteps suddenly sounded quietly from under the bluestone steps outside the square. The soft sound slowly spread upwards, causing the integrated atmosphere in the square to change slightly.
In the venue, all the disciples of the Yunlan Sect opened their eyes and fixed their sights on the bluestone steps. The sound of footsteps, neither light nor heavy, came from there.
On the stone platform, Nalan Yanran gradually opened her bright eyes and her gaze stopped at that place. For some reason, her heart, which had been indifferent, suddenly beat disorderly a few times.
The footsteps were getting closer and louder, so much so that the dozen or so old men in white robes on the stone platform opened their eyes and looked at the same place.
Suddenly, the sun shone from the distant sky, shining through the misty clouds and hitting the end of the stone steps. There, a tall and thin figure finally appeared slowly in countless sights.
Under the gazes of nearly a thousand people in the square, the young man in black robe, carrying a huge black ruler on his back, walked up the last step.
The young man's eyes swept across the huge square without any joy or sadness, and finally stopped at the beautiful woman on the stone platform who was also looking at him with a pair of bright eyes.
He lifted his foot lightly, then put it down, and took three steps forward. Only the low sound of footsteps floated in the quiet square.
After three steps, the young man raised his head, stared at the woman, and spoke softly.
"Xiao family, Xiao Yan!"
The plain and simple words slowly floated over the huge square, making the harmonious atmosphere that filled the square slightly turbulent and chaotic, attracting the attention of countless people.
In the venue, countless disciples of the Yunlan Sect looked at the black-robed young man on the stone steps with different emotions. They were not unfamiliar with this young man named Xiao Yan.
His relationship with Nalan Yanran made him a topic of conversation among many Yunlan Sect disciples. Of course, most people would look at him with a little disdain and sarcasm whenever this name was mentioned. In their eyes, a young man from a small family wanted to marry Nalan Yanran, who had a status as noble as a princess in Yunlan Sect.
Especially when the three-year agreement spread within the sect, the voices of ridicule became even stronger. Of course, the ridicule here was naturally also due to some jealousy.
"Is he the Xiao Yan that Lin Ran mentioned?"
On the high platform, Yun Yun's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze fell on Xiao Yan, her palm moved slightly, and a jade token appeared in her hand at some point.
The fighting spirit surged and merged into the jade order at an angle that no one could detect.
The jade token seemed to be breathing, flashing a few times, and then returning to calm. Yun Yun then put it away again.
"This little guy doesn't look like a loser. His demeanor doesn't look like he's just pretending to be strong on the outside but weak on the inside. And the aura on his body..."
Yun Yun's eyebrows slightly furrowed: "Grand Fighting Master?"
"I feel a special feeling of incomparable heat from him. This little guy should practice the fire attribute technique."
Gu He suddenly said, "Although the realm of a one-star Grand Fighter is good, Yan Ran has now reached the level of a four-star Grand Fighter under your guidance. It shouldn't be a problem to defeat him."
"Um."
Yun Yun responded calmly without talking too much to Gu He, which made Gu He quite depressed.
Ever since Yun Yun retrieved the Purple Spirit Crystal for Yan Ran from the Monster Mountain Range, her attitude towards him has been extremely cold.
This situation reached its peak after returning from the Tager Desert. The cold mood once made Gu He think that it was caused by the fact that he gave up Yun Yun and left in the Tager Desert.
But who knew that our Yun Sect Master had already given his body and soul to him?
"The old man of the Nalan family is in a very bad condition. Although I have visited him many times, the poison is still serious."
Seeing that Yun Yun was still ignoring him, Gu He had no choice but to change the subject. He looked at Yan Ran in the field and sighed, "If there is no strange fire, I'm afraid the branding poison will be difficult to clear."
"Don't worry about Mr. Nalan's affairs. I have promised Yanran that as long as this goes smoothly, I will help him get rid of the poison."
Yun Yun spoke calmly.
The branding poison was indeed troublesome, and even her teacher was not sure if he could clean it up, but Yun Yun was confident that she could handle it.
The reason is that Lin Ran has a strange fire in his hand!
Hearing Yun Yun's words, Gu He was puzzled. Even Yun Shan was not sure about the poison, so how could Yun Yun...
Although he was curious, seeing that Yun Yun had no intention of continuing the conversation, Gu He could only laugh it off and turn his attention back to the arena.
As Xiao Yan introduced himself, countless people in the venue looked over there.
Nalan Yanran's bright eyes were fixed on the thin young man not far away, her eyes full of determination to win.
"Xiao Yan, I don't care what you look like now, but I will win this battle today!"
"As long as I win, the teacher will help me get rid of my grandfather's branding poison. As long as I win, I will be the legitimate young master of the Yunlan Sect!"
"Nalan family...Nalan Yanran!"
Slowly standing up, Nalan Yanran's delicate body stood tall and straight like a proud snow lotus. She stared at Xiao Yan with her bright eyes. The desire for victory in her voice was no less than that of Xiao Yan!
As Nalan Yanran spoke, Yun Yun also slowly spoke, and her cold voice echoed in the square.
"I am Yun Yun. I will be the host of today's three-year appointment. This competition is intended for learning from each other. When it comes to..."
"Swords and swords are silent, life and death are all left to fate."
A soft voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Yun Yun's words.
The eyes in the field followed the voice and finally stopped at Xiao Yan, each with a slightly different expression. Many people did not expect Xiao Yan to say such a thing. You know, his opponent is the successor to the leader of the Yunlan Sect who is being trained by Yunlan Sect.
Yun Yun frowned slightly, but did not speak directly. Instead, she fixed her gaze on Nalan Yanran.
Nalan Yanran raised her eyes slightly and stared at Xiao Yan in front of her: "Xiao Yan, I don't care what you have been through in the past few years, but in this battle, you will definitely lose!"
"Haha, let's talk about it after you win."
Xiao Yan smiled faintly, his eyes grim, his hand slowly grasped the handle of the ruler behind him, and pulled it out suddenly. The Xuanzhong ruler brought up a gust of oppressive wind and pointed diagonally at the ground.
"Little guy, although I really want to say that what you said is quite impulsive, this is the real you."
In Xiao Yan's mind, an old voice smiled and said, "But after this battle, no matter who wins or loses, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave the Yunlan Sect easily."
"I'm sorry Sensei, but I have to do this."
Xiao Yan took a deep breath and said, "Old Hai should be able to stop the leader of Yunlan Sect. As for Yunshan... I can only rely on you, Teacher."
"You little brat are really... Never mind. I know your temper. Don't worry. Since you spent so much time and effort to find the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva and wake me up, how could I let you down?"
"Thank you, teacher."
"Just do it, little one!"
"yes!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Looking at Nalan Yanran in front of him, Xiao Yan's grip on the ruler handle became tighter and tighter. After a moment, he suddenly took a step forward. Where he stepped, the hard bluestone slab actually had several cracks spreading to the soles of his feet. The surging blood-colored fighting spirit, mixed with some blood-colored flames, surged up from the surface of Xiao Yan's body.
"Come on, Nalan Yanran!"
Looking at the black shadow rushing towards her, Naran Yanran frowned slightly. Her martial arts skills belonged to the wind attribute, so speed and agility were what she was best at, so she was not afraid of Xiao Yan's attack.
What really concerned her was Xiao Yan's fighting spirit.
This kind of fighting spirit seemed to have nothing to do with the Xiao family's inherited martial arts technique, the Crazy Lion's Fury. This fighting spirit was fierce, hot, and even carried a strong bloody aura...
"It seems that you do have a great opportunity, but I can't lose this battle!"
When Xiao Yan was about to get within ten meters of her, Nalan Yanran finally made a move.
She tapped the ground with her toes, and her body swayed and flickered like a fallen leaf in the wind. In an instant, she passed by the black figure that was rushing towards her.
At the moment of the intersection, the long sword in Nalan Yanran's hand slashed out naturally. With the help of her body movement, several tiny wind blades had already left the sword and cut towards Xiao Yan's neck.
Xiao Yan's fast-charging figure suddenly stopped, and the huge black ruler was slightly raised. With the sound of clinking and some tiny sparks, the wind blades did not even stop Xiao Yan's attack at all, and completely dissipated.
After resisting the wind blade, Xiao Yan raised his eyes slightly, and glanced at the graceful figure passing by with indifferent eyes. He swung his arm, and the Xuan Zhong Chi brought up a fierce force and smashed it horizontally behind him. The pressure of the force pressed the skirt of Nalan Yanran tightly against her skin, outlining her slender waist.
Nalan Yanran leaped into the air with a solemn look on her face. The sword in her hand suddenly trembled rapidly, and then moved slowly. Every time the sword moved a little, it would leave behind a sword-shaped afterimage that looked like a real thing.
"Wind Spirit Fractal Sword!"
As the shout came, the long sword in Nalan Yanran's hand suddenly pointed at Xiao Yan below. She tapped the air with her toes, and a light breeze appeared under her feet. With the help of this breeze, Nalan Yanran quickly retreated, and the five illusory energy sword fragments left in the air trembled slightly, and then shot towards Xiao Yan below, one after another.
The broken energy sword cut through the void, as if tearing through space. A light blue energy arc flowed out from the tip of the sword, and five sword shapes connected end to end, like a meteor falling from the sky.
Nowhere to hide!
"Since you can't dodge, just take it head-on!"
Xiao Yan's face was serious, and the Dou Qi in the heavy ruler in his hand suddenly surged. The blood-colored Dou Qi spread out and covered the ruler. Under the astonished gazes of those below, he smashed heavily on the broken energy sword.
"Bang!"
When the two came into contact, a fierce energy explosion sounded in the void, and the bright green light made some people close their eyes involuntarily.
"Is this kid from the Xiao family?"
At the top of Yunlan Mountain, in an attic where one can clearly see the battle taking place.
A black mist swirled around Yunshan, and he let out a sneer. "With such strong fire energy and fighting spirit, this kid is indeed quite interesting. If he were to pair it with high-level fighting skills, your disciple would probably be defeated."
"Hmph, Yanran will not lose, and cannot lose." Yunshan snorted.
"Hehehe, as long as you have confidence, I have already started to take action against the Xiao family. If you can keep him here, that would be great." Black fog rose and a hehe laugh was heard.
Hearing this, Yunshan frowned and was extremely curious.
What kind of treasure is there in the Xiao family that could allow a being of this level to search for it so hard?
It seems that the reason why Xiao Yan was able to escape the title of waste and grow to where he is today is most likely related to that treasure.
It seems that no matter what the outcome of today's battle is, I have to keep this kid and explore him thoroughly.
The treasure that even the guardian Wu coveted so much, its value...
Looking at Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan who were constantly fighting on the high platform, Yunshan's eyes were full of greed.
The battle in the field became more and more intense. After both sides showed their strength as great fighters, Nalan Yanran took the lead.
Her lively eyes looked at the indifferent young man opposite her, and her delicate hands slowly untied the green belt that bound her three thousand strands of black hair. She nodded her head slightly, and her black hair flowed down like moonlight, along her shoulders, and all the way to her slender waist.
A moment later, Nalan Yanran suddenly opened her eyes, and her long black hair suddenly rose up without wind, fluttering in the air. As her black hair danced, her body began to float up without the help of the catapulting force or the effect of wings.
As Nalan Yanran's figure slowly rose into the air, the energy around her body also began to riot like boiling water. Circles of light blue substantial ripples continued to spread out from her body, and the long sword in her hand kept making clear sounds!
"Let's decide the outcome with one move, Xiao Yan!"
"You finally used your trump card. If so, then come on..."
Xiao Yan took a deep breath, gently stretched out his right hand, and with a puff of blood-red flame, he suddenly appeared in front of everyone's gaze.
"This is!!!"
When the blood-red flame appeared, some ordinary Yunlan Sect disciples were fine, but the elders, the weights in the distance, Gu He and others, all had their eyes widened.
Along with the appearance of this blood-red flame, an unusually violent energy wave suddenly rippled across the square.
Feeling this energy fluctuation, the faces of almost everyone in the field changed. Even Yun Yun on the high platform and Yun Shan in the attic had changed their expressions.
"Hehehe, drawing on the energy of heaven and earth, this move is at least Earth-level!"
The guardian Wu sneered, his tone full of anticipation: "And that flame... I'm afraid it should be a strange fire. A strange fire combined with an earth-level fighting skill, Yunshan, how can your disciple win?"
"This damn kid."
Yunshan's expression was gloomy, and the next moment, his figure disappeared.
The black fog made a whining sound and wanted to follow, but at that moment, he suddenly felt a strange change in the space around him, and his entire movement was actually bound in the space!
"W-what?!"
"You must be the famous Wu Protector."
A faint laugh suddenly sounded from behind the guardian Wu, and a handsome figure tore through the space and stepped out into the void.
The pupils of the guardian Wu, who was shrouded in black mist, shrank, and his eyes were full of fear: "Tear the space... Fight, fight the powerful?!"
"Be honest and don't disturb me from watching the show."
Lin Ran blocked the space around Guardian Wu completely, and his gaze fell on the field where the fighting spirit was surging.
His gaze lingered on Yun Yun for a moment, and Lin Ran suddenly chuckled.
"Tsk tsk tsk, the collision between Wind Extreme and Flame Devouring Wave Ruler is even more exciting than in the original novel. And that flame... is interesting, the fire of the All-Spirit Beast?"
"Han Feng, it will be your turn soon."
"Ah, I can't wait any longer, Sect Master."
The space twisted, and Han Feng's figure walked out from the torn space behind Lin Ran.
After taking a glance at the Guardian Wu who was completely blocked by the power of space, Han Feng's gaze was fixed directly on Xiao Yan in the field.
A familiar feeling surged into his heart, and the cold murderous intent in Han Feng's eyes could hardly be concealed, and it became more and more intense.
"I wonder what kind of surprise you will show when you see me."
"teacher..."
