Chapter 187: The Three Year Agreement About to Begin

"Then I will leave these little ones to the care of Langya Pavilion." Once all matters were concluded, Fairy Lingyi expressed her thanks to Yi Huang.

The five young people of the Ling Clan had already been taken away by Langya Pavilion Disciples to be settled into their accommodations; now, only Yi Huang and the other remained.

"I don't know if we will have the chance to meet again." A subtle melancholy colored Fairy Lingyi's expression.

Yi Huang was somewhat confused, but noticing the other's unusual behavior, she could only offer comfort:

"Fairy Lingyi is joking. As friends of our Langya Pavilion, the Ling Clan is naturally welcome to come at any time."

As she spoke, she took out a golden Token and handed it to Fairy Lingyi.

On the Token was a spear and sword crossed, and beneath them, the pattern of a crimson Pill Cauldron.

The entire Token also faintly displayed dragon-shaped patterns.

"This is a small token of my Langya Pavilion's sincerity toward friends; please, do accept it."

"Then many thanks to Vice Pavilion Master Yi." Fairy Lingyi recognized this Token at a single glance and could not help but be shocked by Langya Pavilion's grand gesture.

The Golden Dragon Token is the most precious among the Langya Orders, a treasure that only the Three Pillars of Langya Pavilion are qualified to bestow.

The Golden Dragon Token can allow the Ice Saint to take action once without compensation; given the strength of the Ice Saint, this small Token is not an exaggeration to call a priceless treasure.

Of course,

the Golden Dragon Token is more of a symbolic significance, representing the absolute friendship of Langya Pavilion.

It can be said that with the existence of the Golden Dragon Token, one's future actions are equivalent to being under the protection of Langya Pavilion.

Though, it is worth noting that the people and factions capable of obtaining this Token do not really need it.

In this world, besides the fact that Tianyin Laoren of Sound Valley possesses one, perhaps only the Ling Clan could own one.

"I wish both sides a pleasant cooperation!" Yi Huang smiled.

"Pleasant cooperation!"

Northwest Continent, Jia Ma Empire.

"Little Yanzi, are you ready? Today you are going to the Yunlan Sect." Yao Lao's voice rang out in Xiao Yan's mind.

That's right, today is the date of the Three Year Agreement, which also signifies the resolution of the grudges between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran.

As for this so-called Three Year Agreement, the various high-level powerhouses of the Jia Ma Empire unanimously chose to seal off the news.

This duel only circulated within a small circle, but this did not mean it was not taken seriously.

On the contrary, perhaps by this time, the Yunlan Sect was already filled with the various powerhouses of the Jia Ma Empire who had come to watch the battle.

One is the rumored trash young master of the Xiao Clan who rose midway, and the other is the Young Sect Master of the Yunlan Sect, a genius girl whose talent resounds throughout the Jia Ma Empire.

This battle can be said to be full of highlights!

However, the gazes of others could no longer influence Xiao Yan's actions; he simply wanted to draw a period to his three years of hard work.

Regarding Yao Lao's inquiry,

Xiao Yan merely smiled faintly,

and the aura of a Three-Star Great Dou Master on his body erupted suddenly.

"Teacher,

rest assured, a mere Nalan Yanran,

cannot block my path."

"Mm, finish the Three Year Agreement quickly, and we will go to Jia Nan Academy." Yao Lao said with gratification.

Yao Lao had seen Xiao Yan's efforts over these three years, and every time Xiao Yan grew stronger, it meant he was one step closer to the Central Plains; Yao Lao could no longer wait to return to his original strength.

After tidying his appearance, Xiao Yan pushed open the door, faced the rising morning sun, and stepped onto the path toward becoming a powerhouse.

Xiao Yan traveled to the Yunlan Sect without causing any disturbance along the way.

And at this time, Misty Cloud Mountain, where the Yunlan Sect is located, was already filled with distinguished guests.

The most central position on the high platform was occupied by the Supreme Elder of the Yunlan Sect, the "only" Dou Zun powerhouse in the Jia Ma Empire—Yun Shan.

And those sitting around him were all the elders with the highest seniority and strongest power in the Jia Ma Empire: Hai Bodong, Jia Xingtian, Fama...

Of course, there was one exception here—the Xiao Clan Leader, Xiao Zhan.

He obtained a seat next to Yun Shan entirely by virtue of his strength and being the father of the person involved.

The current Yunlan Sect Master, Yun Yun, stood quietly to the side, occasionally casting a concerned gaze toward Nalan Yanran in the center of the platform; she was also quite concerned about this duel.

"Clan Leader Xiao, you seem very confident about this Three Year Agreement?" Hai Bodong asked with a pointed tone.

"Senior Hai Bodong, you overpraise me.

Zhan has been completely ignorant of everything Yan'er has done for these past two years, so how could I have any confidence?" Xiao Zhan said heartily.

However, his tone changed quickly,

"But I believe Yan'er will not let me down!"

Everyone unanimously filtered out the meaning of Xiao Zhan's words—full of confidence!

To say the latter knew nothing was pure nonsense!

The person who felt this most deeply was Yun Shan; if Xiao Zhan really knew nothing, what was the meaning of that guy Xiao Han suddenly proposing a marriage for this little fellow named Xiao Yan!

Was he supposed to tell him that Xiao Han, the Ancestor of the clan, had nothing better to do than follow his own junior who was out gaining experience?

"What about Elder Yun Shan?"

Someone interjected at this moment.

Yun Shan was stunned for a moment and cast an unkind gaze toward Hai Bodong; this old thing had no sense of martial virtue!

However, feeling the gazes of the crowd, Yun Shan could only say: "This old man does not have much understanding of the two young people, so I cannot say clearly for a moment. But... this old man believes today will be a brilliant battle!"

As expected of an old fox who had once been a Sect Master, he said so much, yet the core meaning was nothing at all.

In short: "Empty talk!"

However, everyone else understood that if one speaks too boastfully on such an occasion, it is easy to get slapped in the face. Besides, it was impossible for Yun Shan to publicly support Xiao Yan, right?

Very well, the Supreme Elder of the Yunlan Sect, the strongest individual. Publicly supporting an opponent during the Three Year Agreement and taking the lead in betraying the sect.

Is this meant to invite the entire Jia Ma Empire to witness a massive scandal?

At this moment, Yun Shan suddenly felt traces of prying from the shadows; he frowned and glanced around, but discovered nothing.

"An illusion?"

"Hmm?" In the distance, Xiao Wu wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead in lingering fear and said in surprise:

"How is it possible? A Three-Star Dou Zun can actually sense my presence from so far away?"

"Did you let your guard down?"

Xian'er's calm voice rang out; at such a great distance, combined with Xiao Wu's cultivation base far exceeding the other's, it should logically have been impossible for him to be discovered.

"I'm not sure!" Xiao Wu speculated, "Perhaps it was just a coincidence!"

"Enough, don't test him anymore; that person called Xiao Yan is about to reach the mountain."

Just as Xiao Wu was about to withdraw his disguise and leak his aura to observe, Xian'er's voice brought him back to his senses.

Following Xian'er's reminder, Xiao Wu looked over and saw a youth carrying a giant black ruler on his back, climbing Misty Cloud Mountain step by step.

Although each step was not fast, it was exceptionally steady, and the pace was neither hurried nor slow.

"The little guy is impressive; he is actually using this stretch of the journey to adjust his state." With Xiao Wu's keen eyes, he could naturally perceive Xiao Yan's intention.

The moment Xiao Yan stepped onto the battle platform of the Yunlan Sect would be the time for this ordinary youth to unleash a dazzling brilliance.

"A Three-Star Great Dou Master and a Four-Star Great Dou Master; I imagine it will be a fierce battle!" Xiao Wu's eyes lit up in anticipation of this scene.

Although in their eyes it was nothing more than children fighting, he enjoyed the spectacle!

"The little guy has arrived." As Xiao Yan drew closer, the gazes of others also subconsciously converged toward the end of the stairs.

Finally...

Xiao Yan stepped onto the Yunlan Sect battle platform.

The Three Year Agreement...

Is about to begin!
