Chapter 102

"Then, Senior, who are you?"

Nalan Yanran frowned slightly, her eyes full of doubt.

The other party bore no hostility, yet she certainly dared not offend them.

So she could only bow once more to Feng Qingwan, asking carefully.

The Feng Qingwan before her possessed an extraordinary bearing and looked absolutely beautiful as well.

That face even gave Nalan Yanran a feeling of inferiority by comparison.

"Feng Qingwan!"

"Wonder if you've heard of it."

Feng Qingwan smiled faintly, her brows and eyes bright and moving.

"So it's Ancestral Master's friend!"

Nalan Yanran's heart stirred, and she instantly recognized the name.

She remembered that when Ancestral Master Yun Yi left the Yun Lan Sect, he had specifically warned her.

If she encountered someone named Feng Qingwan, that person was a friend and could be trusted.

Thinking of this, Nalan Yanran's gaze held a few more degrees of warmth.

"Little girl, where did Yun Yi go?"

Feng Qingwan looked at Nalan Yanran with a gentle gaze and asked.

"Ancestral Master... Ancestral Master he went out..."

Nalan Yanran lowered her head slightly and said somewhat helplessly.

"What about Yun Yun?"

Feng Qingwan continued to ask.

After all, when they parted ways back then, Yun Yi had said.

He would return to the Yun Lan Sect to wait for Yun Yun.

It's been this long now; surely both of them couldn't be absent, right?

However, Nalan Yanran gave a bitter laugh.

"Ancestral Master most likely went to find Master!"

She understood in her heart that this might be Ancestral Master's friend, which was why she said a bit more.

"Is that so... then when will they return..."

Feng Qingwan frowned slightly.

Could it be she hadn't come at the right time?

"I've already sent word for Master to come help; it shouldn't take more than half a month..."

Nalan Yanran shrugged, "Before this, I mistakenly thought Senior was a helper sent by Master..."

"Hm?"

Feng Qingwan's delicate brows knitted together as she asked softly, "Did you run into trouble?"

Nalan Yanran sighed lightly, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes.

"This isn't a place to talk, Senior please follow me."

Thereupon, Nalan Yanran brought Feng Qingwan to the Yun Lan Sect's grand hall.

At this moment, only she and Feng Qingwan were in this grand hall.

"Originally there shouldn't have been anything."

After personally pouring a cup of tea for Feng Qingwan, Nalan Yanran bit her lip and said, "But recently a suddenly risen power..."

Thereupon, she told Feng Qingwan in full detail the recent matters of the Shi Ming Sect, including the Shi Ming Sect's frantic expansion on the Northwest Continent and the situation of the Soul Hall backing them.

"Granduncle Master Yun Shan said the Soul Hall's purpose is to collect souls, which is why they need to wage war..."

"If this continues, I'm afraid not many people will be left on the entire Northwest Continent."

Hearing the words 'Soul Hall', Feng Qingwan's gaze instantly turned icy. She also disliked the Soul Hall extremely.

And back then she had heard Yun Yi speak in detail about the grudge with the Soul Hall.

This Soul Hall acts insidiously and ruthlessly, stopping at nothing to achieve their goals, truly hateful.

"This matter, I'll help you resolve it!"

Feng Qingwan nodded, saying it lightly.

Yun Yi had helped her so much before, even giving her the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.

Now his sect has trouble; how could she stand by and do nothing?

Right at this moment, a Yun Lan Sect disciple rushed over in haste.

"Sect Master, a small nation under our protection is being attacked by the Shi Ming Sect!!"

Nalan Yanran's expression changed, "Didn't expect they'd already be bullying their way to our doorstep this fast..."

At this she looked at Feng Qingwan, then bowed respectfully, "In that case, we may truly need Senior to act."

"A trivial matter." Feng Qingwan smiled.

Afterwards, Nalan Yanran led many Yun Lan Sect disciples and set off in haste.

This small nation was originally peaceful and tranquil, but at this moment it had been forcibly dragged into the shadow of war by the Shi Ming Sect.

The Shi Ming Sect's army was like demons from purgatory, trampling this land at will.

Crimson blood stained the earth.

Wherever they passed, corpses littered the ground!

When Nalan Yanran arrived with the Yun Lan Sect's people, she saw this empire's royal combat power was almost completely wiped out.

Outside the imperial palace, the soldiers' corpses lay scattered haphazardly on the ground.

The imperial family's guards were putting up their final resistance.

But under the Shi Ming Sect's fierce assault, the soldiers' faces were full of despair.

"Charge!!"

At Nalan Yanran's command, the Yun Lan Sect disciples surged toward the Shi Ming Sect disciples with high spirits!

Nalan Yanran was now a Nine-Star Dou Zong powerhouse; across the entire Northwest Continent she should originally have been invincible.

Having used so many of Yun Yi's resources, if she still couldn't attain this level of cultivation base, that would be what truly let Yun Yi down!

"Kill!"

The Yun Lan Sect disciples had also been provoked by this small nation's miserable state along the way; each one charged at the Shi Ming Sect with remarkable ferocity.

The Shi Ming Sect's actions were truly too cruel!

"Just wait, my Shi Ming Sect will sooner or later flatten the Yun Lan Sect..."

A Shi Ming Sect general, before dying, let out an angry roar.

His eyes were bloodshot, filled with unwillingness and resentment.

This battle, the Yun Lan Sect displayed extremely strong combat power, successfully repelling the Shi Ming Sect's attack, shouldering the responsibility of a superior sect, and sheltering the surrounding empires.

However, this also thoroughly enraged the Shi Ming Sect.

The Shi Ming Sect soon received the news; Sect Master Shi Tian flew into a rage, and he decided to eradicate the Yun Lan Sect at all costs.

Thus, Shi Tian personally led the troops, commanding a vast and mighty army, pressing toward the Yun Lan Sect with menacing momentum.

Shi Tian rode atop a gigantic magical beast, imposing and awe-inspiring.

The number of Dou Zun powerhouses behind him reached ten.

Every one of them had a terrifying aura; the space around them trembled, and their eyes revealed ferocity and arrogance.

With such a powerful lineup, barring accidents it could indeed sweep aside everything on the Northwest Continent.

After all, before this, the openly acknowledged strongest on the Northwest Continent had always been the Yun Lan Sect Master Nalan Yanran, and the legendary Yun Venerable behind her.

At this moment, the Shi Ming Sect had already advanced to Yun Lan Mountain.

The two sides confronted each other before the Yun Lan Sect's mountain gate.

Shi Tian's gaze swept contemptuously over the Yun Lan Sect crowd, finally landing on Nalan Yanran.

The corner of his mouth hooked a malicious smile, and he spoke teasingly, "Little beauty, as long as you're willing to become this Sect Master's concubine, this Sect Master can spare the lives of everyone in the Yun Lan Sect."

Shi Tian's voice was arrogant and grating, full of provocation.

Nalan Yanran was so angry her pretty face flushed red; she glared furiously, about to retort.

Just then, a graceful figure slowly walked out from within the Yun Lan Sect — it was precisely Feng Qingwan.

Feng Qingwan's expression was calm, yet her eyes revealed a thread of icy killing intent.

She suddenly unleashed a massive pressure from her body, sweeping toward Shi Tian and the others like surging waves.

Shi Tian and the others only felt an invisible force instantly press down, pressing them until they could not breathe.

"Wasn't it said the Yun Lan Sect ancestor is a man, and only has Dou Zun cultivation?"

"How come the one who came is a woman!"

Shi Tian stared wide-eyed, his face full of disbelief.

Moreover, he could sense the terrifying cultivation aura on Feng Qingwan, far beyond what those Dou Zun powerhouses under his command could compare to!

"Damn it, could the intelligence the Soul Hall gave be wrong???"

A chill couldn't help but rise in his heart; he somewhat regretted his reckless action this time.

And this battle, there were also people watching from afar.

The Hei Jiao Yu Xiao Gate's Xiao Li duo brought men hiding in the mountain woods not far away.

They wanted to see the Yun Lan Sect's current strength, and at this moment they were also surprised.

"Where is Yun Yi, where did he go?"

"Who is this woman?"

The Xiao Ding brothers looked at each other in dismay, their hearts extremely astonished!
