Chapter 178: Xiao Yan, Two-Star Dou Huang, Please Advise!

On Yunlan Mountain, clouds and mist curl.

At the end of the slow stone steps is a huge square; the square is paved entirely with huge stones, appearing ancient and atmospheric.

In the center of the square, there is a huge stone stele standing in the center of the square. On this stele, people who have made huge contributions to the Yunlan Sect throughout the ages are recorded.

At this time, on the square, thousands of people are sitting in a semicircle. They are wearing the moon-white sect uniforms of the Yunlan Sect, looking very spectacular.

At the top of the square, a huge stone seat extends upward.

The elders of the Yunlan Sect are sitting on these stone steps; the more status an elder has, the higher the position they are in.

At the very bottom of this stone platform, Nalan Yanran, dressed in moon-colored attire, closes her eyes slightly; the breeze blows, the moon-colored robe clings to her perfect body, and a trace of nervousness appears on her calm and indifferent face.

In the sky, bursts of breaking-air sounds suddenly ring out; some powerful people in the Gama Empire have already arrived above the Yunlan Sect.

Nalan Jie, Fa Ma, Jia Xingtian, and the heads of other major forces are all invited by the Yunlan Sect.

The wide square is silent.

Suddenly, subtle footsteps suddenly ring out from the stone steps below the square.

As these footsteps ring out, the gazes of everyone on the Yunlan Sect are cast toward the end of the stone steps.

A trace of strange color appears in Nalan Yanran's calm eyes, and her heart suddenly beats a few times.

The footsteps get closer and closer; even the dozen or so elders of the Yunlan Sect on the stone platform open their eyes.

Under the gaze of hundreds of eyes, the black-robed youth carrying the huge Heavy Xuan Ruler walks up to the Yunlan Sect square slowly.

He looks around at the crowd, but his gaze falls on the woman in front of the stone steps.

Four eyes meet, and a strange spark collides between the two.

However, the youth's gaze flashes past instantly, continuing to search for the figure that has become somewhat blurred in his mind among the surrounding crowd.

After seeing everyone present clearly, he still doesn't find the figure.

Suddenly, a trace of disappointment rises in Xiao Yan's heart.

"Teacher, Brother Lin Dong doesn't seem to have come..."

In his mind, Yao Lao's voice rings out, "Rest assured, that kid won't have any trouble."

"He must have been delayed by something."

"His stage will definitely not be limited to this Gama Empire."

"If you are worried, after we solve these things, we will walk out of the Gama Empire."

Xiao Yan hears this, and his heart settles down.

He takes three steps forward, and after three steps, he looks at Nalan Yanran again and says indifferently:

"Xiao Clan, Xiao Yan!"

The plain words set off a gust of wind on this square.

Over a thousand Yunlan Sect disciples stare at Xiao Yan with various strange emotions.

Nalan Yanran, as a genius of the Yunlan Sect, has top-tier cultivation and appearance in the Yunlan Sect.

But the marriage contract she made with a waste in Wutan City caused dissatisfaction among many disciples.

When they knew about this Three-Year Agreement, regardless of their cultivation, a sense of surprise always rose in their hearts.

Now, seeing this waste youth truly walk onto the Yunlan Sect, they have mixed feelings.

On the distant stone steps, Nalan Yanran stares tightly at the youth in the distance.

She vaguely recognizes the figure of the youth who said "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't bully the young and poor" in the Xiao Clan hall back then.

Three years of time, the immaturity and sharpness on that youth's face back then are completely gone.

The youth of today no longer has that sharp aura, replaced by deep introversion and indifference.

Looking at this youth who still maintains a calm and composed posture in front of over a thousand Yunlan Sect disciples, Nalan Yanran suddenly has the thought that the other party has indeed changed.

However, after a moment, Nalan Yanran collects her mind, stares at Xiao Yan, and says softly, "Nalan Clan, Nalan Yanran!"

In the sky, the gazes of those powerhouses from the Gama Empire are all placed on the two.

"Is that the little guy from the Xiao Clan who couldn't store Dou Qi? How come now, I can't even see through this kid's cultivation?" Jia Xingtian looks at the youth on the field and laughs:

"This kid, that rounded aura and calm posture, an ordinary person couldn't do it!"

Fa Ma, not far from Jia Xingtian, agrees and nods, staring at Xiao Yan, and asks somewhat confusedly, "I don't know why, but looking at this kid, I always feel a sense of familiarity."

"You have this feeling too?"

Jia Xingtian looks at Fa Ma with deep meaning and laughs lightly: "Maybe, maybe we have seen this kid somewhere, it's not impossible."

On the high platform, the Yunlan Sect elders all look up.

"I am the Great Elder of the Yunlan Sect, Yun Leng."

The old man in the center of the elders looks up, stares at Xiao Yan, and says: "Today the Sect Leader hasn't returned yet, so this Three-Year Agreement is hosted by this old man. This competition is intended for exchange, point to..."

"Life and death, each according to fate!" Nalan Yanran lifts her eyes slightly, looks at Xiao Yan in the distance, and says softly: "Use your full strength, let me see what you rely on to dare to step onto the Yunlan Sect in three years!"

Yun Leng looks at Nalan Yanran below; as the Sect Leader's personal disciple and now the most excellent female disciple of the Yunlan Sect, she suddenly interrupts his conversation, and he doesn't show any displeasure.

Instead, he looks at Xiao Yan in the distance and makes a decision: "Swords have no eyes, Dou techniques are powerful, since it's an exchange, then use your full strength!"

"Life and death don't matter!"

"Do you have any objections?"

Xiao Yan looks at Nalan Yanran in the distance, then looks at the Great Elder on the stone platform, and a smile suddenly appears on his face.

He remembers that when Nalan Yanran went to the Xiao Clan back then, she had this indifferent attitude.

If it weren't for Brother Lin Dong bringing Shen Cui to appear, that time, the Xiao Clan's face would have already been trampled on the ground by Nalan Yanran relying on the huge name of the Yunlan Sect.

Nalan Yanran's actions now are the same as hers back then; the things she does are all so resolute.

He laughs lightly, "Hehe, okay."

"Life and death don't matter!"

His palm slowly grips the Heavy Xuan Ruler handle, pulls it suddenly, and the Heavy Xuan Ruler brings up a pressing wind sound, pointing obliquely at the ground; the wind on the ruler blows up the dust on the ground.

Xiao Yan stares at Nalan Yanran, "Three-Year Agreement, I arrived as promised, today, let's solve the grievances of the past!"

"The shame you brought to my Xiao Clan back then, today... please return it!"

Nalan Yanran stretches out her jade hand, light flashes on a jade-green storage ring on her finger, and a long, light-cyan long sword flashes out; the blade tilts, reflecting a coldness.

She looks at the youth in the distance and sighs somewhat regretfully, "I will make my own decisions about my marriage, even though three years have passed, I don't think I was wrong back then."

"I have the right to choose my own destiny, perhaps because of some improper behavior during the choice, but if time returned, I think I would still do it."

"Nalan Clan, Nalan Yanran, two-star Da Dou Shi, please advise!"

"Improper behavior..." Xiao Yan laughs lightly, a light sentence of improper behavior, is she trying to shirk her overbearing actions back then? This seems too simple, right?

His expression gradually returns to indifference, Xiao Yan's palm gripping the Heavy Xuan Ruler gets closer and closer; a moment later, he steps forward suddenly, and the bluestone slabs under his feet crumble inch by inch, turning into a pile of powder.

"It's come to this, more words are useless!"

"Xiao Clan, Xiao Yan, three-star Dou Huang, please advise!"

Boom!!! The moment his words fall, surging Dou Qi erupts from his body, and earth-yellow and brown Dou Qi wings appear behind him.

The Dou Qi wings fluttered lightly, and Xiao Yan's body instantly soared into the air! He was in mid-air, looking at Nalan Yanran below indifferently, his gaze as if looking at an ant! "Hiss!!"

"What!!!"

"Dou Huang!!"

"Xiao Yan is actually a Dou Huang!!"

The moment Xiao Yan's Dou Qi wings appeared, a burst of gasping sounds rang out on the entire square.

Over a thousand disciples, at this moment, suddenly lost their senses, their gazes staring tightly at Xiao Yan in the high sky, their mouths wide open.

On the high platform, Yun Leng, who was originally full of indifference and stroking his white beard, suddenly pulled, pulling off that tuft of beard on his chin.

Unable to worry about the pain in his chin, Yun Leng stares at Xiao Yan in the sky, somewhat horrified and muttering:

"How is this possible, three years ago, this kid was just an ordinary person who couldn't even store Dou Qi!!"

"Dou Huang! How could it be a Dou Huang!!"

In the Gama Empire, a Dou Huang powerhouse is already a powerhouse standing at the top! Not to mention, still such a young Dou Huang!

Jia Xingtian and Fa Ma look at each other, looking at Nalan Jie on the side with strange eyes.

"Hahaha! So it really is little friend Yan Xiao!"

"Nalan Jie, your Nalan Clan really produced a good girl! This granddaughter of yours..."

Seeing Nalan Jie's face flush red, the two stop talking instantly, but the smiles on their faces can't be held back no matter what.

Xiao Yan in the high sky has a condensed aura; with his and Jia Xingtian's strength, they can feel it clearly!

The other party is an indisputable two-star Dou Huang!

On the square, exclamations, doubts, disbelief, and other expressions are revealed.

At this time, Nalan Yanran, standing in front of the stone steps, falls into a daze.

She grips the cyan long sword in her hand, looks up, and looks at the youth in the sky whose Dou Qi wings are shaking slightly, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Three years of time, Dou Huang, Dou Huang..."

Sunlight shines, she looks at the figure bathed in the sunlight, as if seeing a god descending.

"Impossible!!"

"How could you be a Dou Huang!!"

"Even if that person cured your strange illness, you were just a waste with three stages of Dou Qi! How could you enter Dou Huang!"

"This is fake, this is all lying to me!"

Nalan Yanran suddenly shouts, the cyan long sword in her hand shakes rapidly! "Want to lie to me? Today I will expose the true face of this waste!"

"Wind Spirit Splitting Sword!!"

As the shout falls, the long sword in Nalan Yanran's hand points toward Xiao Yan in the sky, and five illusory energy long sword shadows rush directly toward Xiao Yan in the sky.

"Yanran, stop!!" Nalan Jie roars!

But the sword shadows have already been cast, and things cannot be undone!

"Ding ding ding!"

Xiao Yan waves the Heavy Xuan Ruler lightly, blocking Nalan Yanran's explosive Xuan-tier Dou technique very easily.

He looks at Nalan Yanran who is somewhat crazy below, and suddenly loses interest.

Putting the ruler back into the sheath, Xiao Yan raises his hand slowly, his palm aiming at Nalan Yanran below.

"If you can block one of my palms, the past grievances will be written off!"

"Blowing Fire Palm!"

The wild wind howls, surging Dou Qi permeates from Xiao Yan's body, gathering between his palms, forming a violent wind dragon.

"Roar!!"

The wind dragon roars, and in an instant, it howls toward Nalan Yanran below.

Nalan Yanran looks at the howling wind dragon, a sense of despair rising in her eyes.

The power of a Dou Huang is terrifying! Can't block it, can't block it at all! She bites her silver teeth lightly, the cyan Dou Qi armor on her body condenses, trying to resist this powerful wind dragon!

"Stop!!"

Nalan Jie exclaims, Yun Leng shouts to stop.

At this moment, the dozen or so elders on the Yunlan Sect high platform take action in unison! As the wind dragon howls, Yun Leng suddenly appears beside Nalan Yanran, white Dou Qi turns into a shield, shrouding Nalan Yanran inside.

"Bang!!"

A terrifying sound comes out, the wind dragon shatters the shield, and just the aftermath shatters the cyan armor on Nalan Yanran's body.

She spits out a mouthful of blood, but her body stands firmly on the square.

This attack Xiao Yan cast casually was mostly blocked by Yun Leng.

"Tsk, is this the way your Yunlan Sect does things? It really is the same lineage!"

Xiao Yan laughs lightly, and pulls out the Heavy Xuan Ruler behind his back again, "Originally I planned to stop here, but now, if the Yunlan Sect doesn't give me an explanation..."

His gaze freezes suddenly, staring at Yun Leng and the others below, and he says coldly: "Then let's see the real chapter in our hands!!"

Yun Leng's heart is full of bitterness, but he forces a smile on his face, "Little friend Xiao Yan, your strength has already exceeded Nalan Yanran's too much, I think today's matter should just end here."

"In the name of the Yunlan Sect Elder, how about I let Nalan Yanran and the Nalan Clan apologize to you and your Xiao Clan?"

Xiao Yan hasn't spoken yet, but Nalan Yanran, whose lips are still stained with blood, shouts, "Impossible!"

"Why should I apologize to him!"

Yun Leng's heart twitches, and he glares at Nalan Yanran fiercely.

Pig!! Just at this moment, Ge Ye in the distance looks at Xiao Yan in the high sky, looking at the earth-yellow and brown Dou Qi wings behind him, and a figure suddenly appears in his mind.

He points at Xiao Yan and shouts in horror to Yun Leng: "Great Elder, it's him!!"

"He is the one who killed our sect's deacon, Mo Cheng of the Mo Clan!!"

Yun Leng's eyes go black, and he almost didn't catch his breath.

He looks at Ge Ye in the distance, biting his teeth!

How come there is still a pig here! A teenage Dou Huang, what it represents in this Gama Empire, one can think clearly with their toes! He had already seen the ambiguous gazes of Jia Xingtian and Fa Ma! Now that the Sect Leader hasn't returned, how can their Yunlan Sect be at odds with such a young Dou Huang!

But at this time, the words of Nalan Yanran and Ge Ye have completely pushed Xiao Yan to the opposite side of the Yunlan Sect.

Regarding the glory of the Yunlan Sect, Yun Leng looks at Xiao Yan's cold face and knows that today's matter cannot be ended well.

"Xiao Yan, I'll ask you one more time, if I apologize to you on their behalf, can this matter be written off?"

Yun Leng takes a deep breath and still says softly to the young Dou Huang in the sky. He doesn't want to pursue the deacon matter now, just wants to send this big Buddha out of the Yunlan Sect.

Xiao Yan's gaze sweeps past Yun Leng, looks at Nalan Yanran, and says with contempt: "She, go to Wutan City in person and apologize to my father."

At this time, Nalan Yanran's internal organs are churning, and the pain in her body makes her almost lose her mind.

She bites her silver teeth, glares at Xiao Yan, and says: "Even if you kill me, I will never apologize!"

Yun Leng's eyes go black, and he sighs deeply! He looks at Xiao Yan above from the corner of his eye, but sees the other party preparing to take action, and he shouts loudly: "All Yunlan Sect disciples, form the Cloud Smoke Sun Covering Array!!" (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 179 =====
