Chapter 115: Chapter 116
The Yunlan Sect did not react too violently to the royal family's actions.
Apart from some young disciples in the sect who were angry and occasionally went to the military camp to cause trouble at the beginning, the sect's top leaders remained silent on the matter.
Because they also know that no one is allowed to snore beside their bed, and the imperial family is full of suspicion.
They have long been accustomed to this. As long as the Yunlan Sect has not collapsed, the legion at the foot of the mountain will never dare to make the slightest movement.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, Xiao Yan looked up and gazed at the ancient stone steps that had existed for who knows how many years, and then slowly walked up to
the end of the long stone steps, which were shrouded in clouds and mist. Behind the clouds and mist was a huge square.
The square is paved entirely with huge stones, which makes it look simple and elegant.
In the center of the square, a huge stone tablet stands tall.
The stone tablet records 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, and without exception, they were all dressed in moon-white robes.
At the cuffs of the sleeves, the cloud-like long sword fluttered in the wind like a living thing, faintly containing a hint of sword intent.
At the top of the square, there are some towering stone steps. The steps gradually go upwards, and the higher you go, the older the building is.
On the top stone platform, there sat a graceful and elegant woman. It was Yun Yun, who had been separated from Lin Feng for a long time.
Below them were a dozen old men in white robes who were sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, resting.
Although these old men did not have any special features on the surface, their robes were like steel, and no matter how the wind blew, they did not move at all. This made people know that these old men were not simple!
Below these white-robed old men was a separate stone step. A woman in a moon-colored skirt and gown closed her eyes slightly. The breeze blew, and her gown clung to her body, revealing her perfect curvy figure underneath. The camera moved to the woman's beautiful face that was calm and indifferent. It was Nalan Yanran!
Although there were nearly a thousand people on the square, the square was completely silent. Except for the whistling of the wind, there was no other sound.
Occasionally, a slightly stronger wind blew across the square, and suddenly, all you could see was white robes fluttering, like clouds descending from the sky. Such a scene was quite shocking at first glance.
Suddenly, the sound of breaking wind was heard in the air, and then a figure appeared on the top of the towering tree.
On the tops of some giant trees around the square, there were many figures standing abruptly, including Hai Bodong, Fa Ma, Jia Xingtian and other Douhuang strongmen.
Even Mu Chen, Nalan Jie, and the heads and younger generations of several other families were here.
However, at this time, the president of the Alchemist Guild, Fa Ma, seemed to be in a bad mood, and his old face was a little dark.
Thinking about how he had held the Alchemist Conference yesterday and went back happily.
As a result, when they went to inspect the treasure house of the association as usual at night, they found that a large number of various precious medicinal materials and high-level prescriptions were missing.
Seeing that scene, even with his strength as a Dou Huang, he was almost scared to death.
More than half a year ago, their Alchemist Association was robbed.
That time, the man was a Dou Zong, and he couldn't beat him. Besides, the man only stole a sixth-grade prescription, so he let it go.
This time, not only did no one know who stole the items, but all the high-end items in the warehouse were taken away.
What is going on?
Did he treat their Alchemist Guild as a buffet?
Now that he thought about it, his lungs still ached.
But due to the reputation of the Alchemist Guild, he could only order the news to be blocked and secretly search for the murderer.
If he finds out who stole it, he will make the other party pay the price even at the cost of his life!
Just as Fa Ma was recalling his unpleasant experience, Xiao Yan slowly walked down the stairs to the square.
As Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran finished introducing each other, Yun Yun also stood up and said, "Xiao Yan, I am the leader of the Yunlan Sect. Yun Yun, since your elders are not present for this three-year appointment, I will host it alone. This competition is intended for learning from each other. Click here..."
"Life and death are up to fate."
Xiao Yan's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Yun Yun's words.
Hearing this, Nalan Yanran raised her eyes slightly and stared at the young man in black robe. Then, she nodded slightly and said in a cold voice: "It's up to you."
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, the faces of the Yunlan Sect's disciples and the radical faction led by the Great Elder Yun Leng all darkened.
But seeing that his own clan leader was there this time, he had to force himself to hold back his words and stared at the young man below fiercely.
Seeing the two people below, Yun Yun's eyes also flashed with helplessness, and she said lightly: "It's up to you. In this case, but after this battle, no matter who wins or loses, your previous grievances will be completely settled today. After today, neither side shall take any revenge because of this matter."
Anyway, after she came back from the Monster Mountain Range, she asked Elder Gu He to refine some pills to increase the level of fighting spirit.
After giving those pills to his apprentice, he sent the latter to the Warcraft Mountains for training.
With the help of two three-patterned Qingling pills and the purple heart barrier-breaking pill, plus Elder Gu He's unique elixir.
After his apprentice returned from the Warcraft Mountains, not only did his practical experience increase greatly, but his fighting spirit level also reached the peak of the Grand Fighter, and he had almost stepped half a foot into the fighting spirit realm.
As for Xiao Yan, even with the guidance and help of his alchemist teacher.
But after all, the time was too short, and she didn't think the other party could defeat Nalan Yanran.
At that time, after Xiao Yan loses the fight, let Yanran let him go down the mountain.
In this way, they could not only win the competition, but also demonstrate the broad-mindedness of the Yunlan Sect.
"OK!"
Seeing Yun Yun say this, Xiao Yan nodded in response.
Anyway, he has earth-level fighting skills, so the probability of losing is not high.
What's more, this rule is not bad for him.
In case he loses or wins, Yunlan Sect has already said these words in public, and it would be difficult for them to retaliate against the Xiao family.
At the same time, he slowly grasped the handle of the ruler and pulled it suddenly. The Xuanzhong ruler brought up a gust of oppressive wind and pointed obliquely at the ground.
A faint red fighting spirit lingered on the surface of his body, and his eyes were fixed on Nalan Yanran: "I have fulfilled the three-year agreement. Today, let's settle the past grudges. You brought shame upon my Xiao family back then, today. Please return it to me."
The jade hand stretched out, and an emerald ring on the jade finger flashed with light. A slender light green sword flashed out, with the blade tilted. The sunlight sprinkled down, reflecting a cold light.
Nalan Yanran raised her beautiful eyes slightly, sighed with a little regret, and said lightly: "I will decide my own marriage. Even though it has been three years now, I don't think I did anything wrong back then. I have the right to choose my own destiny. Maybe I behaved inappropriately when choosing, but if time goes back, I think I will still do the same."
"Inappropriate behavior."
Xiao Yan chuckled and sneered.
The other party's actions at the time made his father lose face and he was almost driven out of the position of clan leader by several elders.
Now, with just a few words, he was trying to shirk his arrogance?
Wasn't that a little too simple?
His expression gradually returned to indifference, and Xiao Yan's grip on the ruler handle became tighter and tighter.
After a moment, he suddenly took a step forward, and where he stepped, several cracks appeared on the hard bluestone slab, spreading to the soles of his feet.
The surging red fighting spirit, mixed with some colorful flames, burst out from the surface of Xiao Yan's body.
Feeling the aura of a four-star great fighting master emanating from Xiao Yan's body, a glimmer of relief flashed in Nalan Yanran's eyes.
I didn't expect that this young man, who was looked down upon and ridiculed in the Xiao family back then, could grow up to this point.
If her teacher hadn't forced her into the Monster Mountain Range for training, and if it weren't for those pills, she might have been in real danger.
The jade hand tightly grasped the light green long sword, and the light green wind rolled and floated on the sword.
In the wind, sharp wind blades stretched and retracted, occasionally shooting out violently, leaving a deep scratch on the hard bluestone slab.
The sword gradually moved upwards, pointing towards Xiao Yan from afar. The sharp sword edge shone brightly under the reflection of the sunlight.
As the fighting spirit in the two men's bodies rose, the atmosphere above the huge square suddenly became tense, and the surroundings became quiet again. All eyes were focused on the two men.
Many people want to know, after three years of training, how far can the useless boy from back then go?
More importantly, they wanted to know how powerful the next successor to this behemoth in the Gama Empire was.
This way, it will be easier for them to take sides.
"Let's fight! Nalan Yanran! It's been three years!"
Under the gazes of everyone in the square, Xiao Yan roared angrily and rushed forward like an angry beast.
The Xuanzhong ruler was lightly placed on the ground, leaving a long trail of sparks and deep marks on the bluestone along the way.
"After so much procrastination, it's finally time to fight."
Zi Yan, who was mixed in with the younger generations of those forces, saw that there was finally movement below, so she took a big bite of the sixth-grade medicinal material she had "borrowed" yesterday and muttered.
Nalan Yanran looked calmly at the black shadow rushing towards her. Her martial arts skills were of wind attribute, so speed and agility were what she was best at.
Coupled with her previous experience, she naturally knew when to take action.
When Xiao Yan was about to get within ten meters of her, Nalan Yanran finally made a move.
Her toes tapped the ground lightly, and her body swayed and flickered like a leaf in the wind.
In an instant, he crossed paths with the black figure rushing towards him.
At the moment of intersection, the long sword in Nalan Yanran's hand slashed out naturally.
With the help of the body movement, several tiny wind blades left the sword and cut towards Xiao Yan's neck.
The figure that was charging quickly suddenly stopped, and the huge black ruler in his hand was hastily raised slightly.
