Chapter 265: The Three-Year Agreement

The Yunlan Sect, the most powerful force in the Gama Empire, is also the existence that the Imperial Family of the Gama Empire has feared the most throughout the ages.

To guard against the Yunlan Sect, the Imperial Family of the Gama Empire stationed an elite army at the foot of the mountain, named as guards, but actually for surveillance.

A handsome young man in white robes walked leisurely, looking at the layout of the military camp in front of him from time to time. The guards guarding the gate saw the young man and bowed respectfully.

The young man nodded, bypassed the military camp, and walked toward the foot of the mountain not far away.

Looking up at the steps that were like climbing to heaven, he couldn't see the end at a glance, and the end was shrouded in white clouds, as if it were a fairyland.

He stepped lightly on the blue stone steps, climbing up step by step, looking left and right from time to time, enjoying the beautiful scenery.

After spending nearly two hours, Xiao Yan finally finished walking the steps and arrived at a huge circular blue stone square. The square was surrounded by circular stands, all filled with Yunlan Sect disciples wearing white clothes and holding swords.

Hearing this, Yun Leng's breathing became somewhat rapid. Usually, even the Sect Master wouldn't dare to speak to him like this.

"I am a person who keeps promises!" Xiao Yan said with a faint smile.

"Sigh! Actually, Senior Sister Nalan can be considered a peerless genius. She broke through from Dou Zhe to Dou Ling in three years. We all witnessed her efforts!"

Hearing this, others also pricked up their ears, wanting to know why Xiao Yan was so kind. The conflict between Xiao Yan and the Nalan Clan was known to almost everyone.

The Yunlan Sect disciple who was talking enthusiastically heard this low shout and instantly became quiet. It was conceivable that this person's reputation in the Yunlan Sect was definitely not low.

Nalan Yanran nodded to Great Elder Yun Leng and then walked slowly down the steps. Today, she didn't use the very proficient Flying Fluff movement technique. It wasn't that she didn't want to use it, but the pressure Xiao Yan gave her was too great, making her not even have the courage to use it.

"Grade 7 alchemist! Wouldn't that be more powerful than Elder Gu He!"

"Can you tell me, why did you still help my grandfather detoxify after our Nalan Clan treated you like that?" Nalan Yanran looked at Xiao Yan with complex eyes and said the doubt in her heart.

"What? Standing still? And not fighting back? As long as you touch the body, you admit defeat?" Everyone felt that Xiao Yan was too arrogant. Nalan Yanran was a Dou Ling, after all!

"Old Man Hai, give me the bottom line, just how powerful is Xiao Yan!" Fama turned to look at Hai Bodong and asked in a low voice.

Seeing Xiao Yan's impatient appearance, Nalan Yanran felt bitter in her heart. Three years of effort might result in not even being able to take a single move from Xiao Yan. This result was really hard for people to accept.

Nalan Jie looked at Xiao Yan, and the regret on his face was beyond words. This was originally his son-in-law!

If he hadn't gone to the Xiao Clan to break off the engagement in the first place, their Nalan Clan would have become the largest clan in the Imperial Capital and would have surpassed the Imperial Family and the Yunlan Sect in the future to become the number one clan in the Northwest Continent.

Everyone shifted their gaze to Nalan Jie, and the corners of their mouths involuntarily showed expressions of mockery.

Seeing Xiao Yan appear in front of them, the Yunlan Sect disciples all started to discuss in low voices.

With Xiao Yan's arrival, the originally solemn square became as noisy as a vegetable market at this time.

"Alas! Peerless geniuses are destined to be beaten to a pulp in front of monsters!"

"I am Yunlan Sect Great Elder Yun Leng. The Sect Master is not here, so I will preside over today's competition. This competition is intended for sparring, stopping at the point, and no matter who wins or loses, neither side should entangle too much afterward!" The white-robed old man stood on the high platform and shouted loudly.

"Is this Xiao Yan? I heard that Xiao Yan has already reached Dou Huang, and he is also the champion of this Alchemist Grand Meeting, a Grade 7 alchemist!"

"Who says not! This Xiao Yan is only eighteen this year, right! He has reached Dou Huang. This talent is truly a monster! Is Senior Sister Nalan going to lose for sure!"

"I thought you wouldn't bother to come!" Nalan Yanran looked at Xiao Yan and smiled with disdain.

"You don't need to know this!" Xiao Yan naturally wouldn't say the reason.

The higher you look, the higher the steps, and the higher the seniority. In the last row, those sitting were clearly the elders of the Yunlan Sect and the people who had come to watch Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan's competition.

But thinking of Xiao Yan's strength, Yun Leng could only suppress the anger in his heart. Xiao Yan's strength was secondary; the most important thing was that he was a Grade 7 alchemist!

This status was really something he couldn't afford to provoke, otherwise, their Yunlan Sect would suffer, and there might even be a possibility of destruction.

"Although you are very powerful! I still won't give in! Although I know I will lose! I will still try my best!" Nalan Yanran drew her green long sword, pointed it at Xiao Yan, and her momentum surged continuously.

As for losing to Xiao Yan, does that count as a matter?

Not only would everyone not think Nalan Yanran was weak, but they would also feel that Nalan Yanran was very powerful. After all, being able to fight with a monster like Xiao Yan and daring to draw her sword was enough to look down on the world.

Hearing this, others also pricked up their ears to eavesdrop. After all, they also really wanted to know just how powerful Xiao Yan was.

"Quiet!" At this moment, a low shout suddenly came from the square.

"How powerful! I can't say for sure! Back then, Lv Man of the Heaven Snake Mansion and the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor almost died in his hands!" Hai Bodong said something shocking.

"Back then, I thought Senior Sister Nalan was too useless. Now it seems that it's not that Senior Sister Nalan is not excellent enough, but that someone is too monstrous!"

Except for Jia Xingtian, no one in the Gama Empire could guarantee that they would be safe and sound in the hands of the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor. But such a powerful beast almost died in Xiao Yan's hands.

A Grade 7 alchemist is enough to hire a Dou Zong powerhouse. As long as you hire one or two Dou Zongs, plus a few Dou Huangs, it is enough to destroy their Yunlan Sect.

Although this was a competition between juniors, Xiao Yan was already one of the top ten powerhouses in the Gama Empire, so whether it was the top ten powerhouses of the past or the present, they all came, naturally to be able to spar with Xiao Yan. After all, the top ten powerhouses often sparred with each other.

"Yanran, go down! Just try your best! Even if you lose, it doesn't matter!" Yun Leng said to Nalan Yanran beside him.

Nalan Yanran's hard work over these three years was indeed obvious to all. No one could pick out any flaws. Breaking through from Dou Zhe to Dou Ling in three years, this talent can truly be considered rare. She would be enough to grow into a Dou Huang or even a Dou Zong in the future, and it would be enough to be the next Sect Master of the Yunlan Sect.

"Too much nonsense! Start quickly!" Seeing that Yun Yun was not there, Xiao Yan felt that his mood was not good.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes almost popped out. Lv Man was who they didn't know very well, but they had all heard of the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor, a famous fierce beast on the continent, not inferior to Medusa.

"What's going on? Where did Yun Yun go?" Xiao Yan scanned the surroundings constantly, but never found that green figure.

"I admire your courage to draw your sword! I won't take advantage of you. I will stand still and not fight back. As long as you can break my defense, touching me will count as your win! I will apologize for what happened back then!" Xiao Yan looked at Nalan Yanran, feeling no contempt in his heart, only admiration.

Everyone shifted their gaze to Xiao Yan in the field again. It was hard to imagine that this young man with a delicate face had such a brutal side.

Hearing the exclamation from the platform, Nalan Yanran's hand holding the sword began to tremble, but stubborn as she was, she was unwilling to admit defeat. She gritted her teeth, tapped the ground with her toes, her body turned into a group of green light, and she raised the treasure sword in her hand to stab at Xiao Yan.
